about us

black bean bbq CATERING CO.

Jim “Bean” Bergin is a California native and Entrepreneur. He has owned and operated many business ventures over the years and on November 18th 2006, Black Bean BBQ Catering made its debut. Jim catered Texas Style slow smoked BBQ all across the North Bay for nearly two decades! He took pride in providing a simply delicious meal, Nothin' Fancy; Just Good Grub. That same pride has been passed down and adopted by the new owner. In June 2022, Jim Bergin hung up his catering boots and sold his company, to long time employee, Kathryn Miskelly. Kathryn came to California from Texas in her teens and by 20 years old she found herself close to her roots by joining the Black Bean BBQ Family. She has been with the company for almost a decade! When Jim was looking towards retirement she knew that making sure Black Bean BBQ was around for years to come was paramount, to not only herself but so many others. Today Kathryn loves to travel to events and festivities with her crew, and can accommodate any sized crowd. Whether you desire an intimate setting for a wedding reception or a feast for employee appreciation day, at Black Bean BBQ we love taking our slow smoked Texas Style BBQ on the road.
“ We use a dry rub and slow smoke our meats in our pit for many, many hours which produces juicy, fall off the bone pork ribs, melt in your mouth brisket, succulent, tender chicken and our pork butt is to die for! We can create a special menu for your occasion and offer vegetarian options as well. — Jim Bergin "

  • I hired Jim to cater my wedding on 6/21/14 and the food blew me away! It is now 3 weeks after my wedding and people are still raving about the food. I think that may have been the highlight of the night. -Amber G.
  • Jim and Black Bean BBQ did an amazing job catering our rehearsal dinner in Sonoma. We had the brisket, chicken, and ribs. Everyone raved about the food, especially the brisket, which was one of the best briskets I have ever had. -Christine C.
  • “They were so nice and accommodating. The brisket was AMAZING! And after talking with them I found out the meat they use is grass fed and comes from a humane farm! Super bonus. I highly recommend for anyone! Great prices as well.” -Heather G.
  • The best Bbq ever. I've followed the owner from when he had his restaurant on Summerfield Rd by Howarth Park. It was our family tradition going there after the park. His smoked brisket is amazing. I have ordered food for parties now that there is no store front. My guests rave about it. Prices are reasonable as well. Highly recommend. -Pamela S.
  • Hands down this is the best barbeque in Sonoma county. Really really tasty. Plenty of food and a real good price. Owners care! -Allison P.
