About Magilla's Barbecue

Jeff & Christine Fitchett

Pitmaster and Event Coordinator

Magilla's Barbecue is a catering team based in Southern California. We specialize in Central Texas craft barbecue, offering a variety of meats including brisket, pulled pork, pork belly, tri-tip, turkey, chicken, ribs (pork & beef), and hand-crafted sausages. In addition to traditional sides, we also offer Tex-Mex inspired options. Our goal is to create a memorable menu that will last a lifetime with your guests. Barbecue is our passion, and we would love to share it with you!

Magilla prides itself on the ability to create a customized menu for each client. We can create a standard menu for wedding guests yet still create a unique dining experience for the wedding couple. Our services can be tailored to meet each client's vision.

Sample catered weddings

We were inspired by Alex and Starr's desire to provide their guests with an old-fashioned barbecue while having a special feast separate from the guest menu. We asked what they had in mind and they shared they would like a Surf and Turf style dinner. Say no more we said! We had a separate crew serve their guest while we cooked up on site a reverse seared Tomahawk Steak, alongside two gently smoked Colossal Lobster Tails both topped off with our Chimichurri Butter and paired with grilled veggies and buttery soft baby potatoes. Their special meal was carved and served on a customized wood platter that we had made just for them.

    We used Magillas for our wedding rehearsal dinner. They did not disappoint. The service was great. They had such a beautiful set up. They were very well prepared and had more than enough food to serve out wedding party and some unexpected guests. If you are not sure what to serve Jeff is great with helping you come up with a menu. And the food… very delicious. Can’t wait for a reason to use them again.

    I recently had the pleasure of ordering catering for our group of varsity football players, coaches and volunteers from Magillas Ribs, and I can’t say enough good things about the experience. From the moment the food arrived, I could tell it was going to be something special. The BBQ was absolutely delicious—perfectly cooked with that authentic, smoky flavor that’s hard to find. Each bite was packed with rich, tender meat that just melted in your mouth. The portions were generous, so we were able to enjoy leftovers, which is always a bonus! We were thrilled to have something we were so proud of to serve to our hardworking and hungry players and coaches here in La Habra. My husband is super picky about his BBQ, having tried so many authentic bbq places in Texas, and he was thoroughly impressed with the quality and flavor. What really stood out, though, was the service. The team at Magilla's went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They were prompt, professional, and truly cared about delivering a top-notch experience. It was clear that they take great pride in their craft, and it showed in both the food and the presentation. If you’re looking for flavorful, high-quality BBQ with excellent service, look no further than Magilla's. I’ll definitely be ordering again soon!

    We used Magilla’s bbq to cater a high school football dinner. Their communication leading up to the event was amazing. They made sure we had everything we requested and more. The meats were delivered piping hot and fresh. They provided multiple meats. Most places have a specialty but in my opinion everything of theirs is equally fantastic. The briscuit melted in our mouths, the chicken fell off the bone and the pull pork was so tender and juicy. Throw in the Mac cheese and banana pudding desert and we felt like we were in BBQ heaven. Thank you Magillas
