Why Merced Chooses Grgich Family BBQ

Over 35 years of BBQ mastery serving Merced County with flavors that celebrate Merced's community spirit and agricultural heritage.

Gateway to Yosemite

Merced calls itself the Gateway to Yosemite, and that's not just marketing. People come through here on their way to one of the most beautiful places on Earth. When they stop for a meal, we want them to remember the BBQ as much as they remember Half Dome. It's a high bar, but we aim for it.

College Town Meets Farm Town

Having a university changes a place, brings in new ideas and new people. But Merced hasn't forgotten its roots. We see that mix at every event we cater—young professionals alongside longtime farmers, all of them hungry and all of them appreciating food that's made with care.

The Heart of the Valley

Merced County produces more sweet potatoes than anywhere else in California. Almonds, dairy, cattle—this land feeds people. We're proud to be part of that tradition, serving up meals that bring communities together.
