Located at the intersection of Pedley Road and Granite Hill Road in Jurupa Valley, CA, we serve up generous portions of our signature barbecue every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday from 11:00 AM to 4:30 PM. Our menu features a variety of options, including brisket meals, pork spare ribs, beef sausage, and beef ribs, available as plates, sandwiches, loaded potatoes, and bowls. Complement your meal with our delicious sides, such as mac & cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, Mexican sweet corn, and cornbread. Customers rave about our flavorful meats and generous portions, comparing our quality to the best barbecue in Texas. Whether you're craving a hearty plate, a loaded potato, or a savory sandwich, New Life BBQ is your destination for authentic Texas barbecue in the Inland Empire.

Sometimes a plate and a fork are more than the event needs.

Loaded potatoes and bowls are our answer. Top them with chopped brisket or pulled pork, cheese, sauce, and whatever else you want. One hand, no table required.

That makes them the right choice for standing receptions, open houses, warehouse floors, and any event where people aren't sitting down for long. Burritos and nachos do the same job.

We build the whole line around how your guests will actually eat.

40 to 300 guests across the Inland Empire. Call (951) 224-4858.

New Life BBQ started in 2019, and the name is not a decoration.

Our pitmaster left a pest control career to cook barbecue after a health scare made him rethink what he wanted his working life to look like. Texas on his mother's side, Mexico on his father's, and a fire that has been going ever since.

He still cooks the events himself. When you book us, the person who lit the fire the night before is the person standing at your serving line.

That is not a marketing line. It is just how a two-lane operation this size actually works.

December dates are open right now. They will not be available in three weeks.

Every year the same thing happens. Companies wait until the second week of November to plan the holiday party, and by then the best Friday and Saturday evenings are booked. Those who call in October get exactly the date they want.

We cater company holiday parties, end-of-year appreciation lunches, and client events across Riverside County and the Inland Empire. Live fire on site, full serving line, setup and cleanup included.

40 to 300 guests. Written quote within 24 hours, no pressure.

Boss's Day is Friday, October 16. A card goes in a drawer. A brisket lunch does not.

It also works in reverse. If you run the team, this is a reasonable excuse to feed them and let someone else handle the setup, serving, and cleanup for once.

Texas-style plates with brisket, ribs, and sausage, or the Tex-Mex lane with tacos, burritos, and bowls. Every plate includes two sides and honey apple cornbread.

40-guest minimum. Riverside, Jurupa Valley, Corona, Eastvale, Ontario, Norco, and the wider Inland Empire.

A fundraiser dinner lives or dies on whether people actually want to be there.

Barbecue sells tickets. It always has. We cater church dinners, ministry events, school athletics banquets, booster fundraisers, and community benefits across the Inland Empire, and we will work with you honestly on a per-person number that leaves room for the cause.

We cook on site, so the smell does half the marketing for you. Setup, line, service, and cleanup are included.

40 to 300 guests. Send a date and headcount, and we'll send a written quote within 24 hours.

Call (951) 224-4858.

Ask our regulars what they remember, and half of them say the cornbread.

Honey apple cornbread comes with every catering package. So do two sides of your choice. Mac and cheese, Tex-Mex Spanish rice, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, Mexican sweet corn.

Sides are where most caterers save money, and it shows on the plate. We would rather they be the thing your guests bring up in the parking lot on the way out.

Every per-person price includes the meat, two sides, and the cornbread. Extra sides are 2 dollars a head.

Here is exactly what you do on the day of your event. Nothing.

We arrive early. We set up the serving line and the chafing dishes. We cook, serve, break down, and take the trash with us. You don't coordinate anything, and you don't clean anything up.

Before that, it is three steps. Send a date, a headcount, and a location. Get a written quote within 24 hours. Confirm with a 50 percent deposit and give us a final headcount a few days out.

Plated chicken is what you serve when you have run out of ideas.

A live fire barbecue line at a wedding does something different. It slows people down. They talk in the line, they go back for seconds, and nobody spends the reception politely moving food around a plate.

We cook on site, set the serving line, run service, and break it all down. You can do a traditional Texas spread, a Tex-Mex taco bar, or run both at once for a bigger guest count.

Nice

10/01/2026

If your company party is in November or December, you need to decide now.

We are already taking dates for fall and holiday events across the Inland Empire. Company parties, client appreciation lunches, staff banquets, end-of-year celebrations. The good Fridays and Saturdays go first every year, and once a date is gone, it is gone.

We recommend 1 to 4 weeks of lead time. Earlier is better for December.

Send us a date, a headcount, and a location. You get a written quote back within 24 hours with no pressure attached.

40 to 300 guests. newlifebbq1.com or (951) 224-4858.
