The Bekker's Story-

After college, the Navy, and World War II, submarine chef Dale Worm and his wife, Betty, decided that they would find their next success in the barbecue business. They found property on Mission Gorge Road, an unpaved and undeveloped area of San Diego County. Upon consulting with the health department, Dale encountered a minor setback - in order to open a restaurant, he needed

the sewer system to be extended to reach Mission Gorge Road. Dale took the initiative and went from house to house and business to business, gathering signatures to get the sewer brought in. Earning the nickname "The Mayor of Grantville," Dale spearheaded the development of the entire Grantville area. Roadside Bar BQ opened its doors in 1958 - becoming the very first restaurant on Mission Gorge Road. Dale and Betty spent 20 years in this location, serving fantastic barbecue to the growing city of San Diego, and raising a family who would later carry on the legacy. The Next Step-

In 1978, Dale and Betty's son Oscar decided that the barbecue business was also the place for him, and joined his dad in opening Bekker's Bar BQ, 3 miles down Mission Gorge Road. The new location provided a great opportunity in which they had much more space to focus on catering. A few years later, Oscar was married, and his wife Olga joined the business. Olga and Oscar spent over 20 successful years in this location, keeping the restaurant busy, and catering events for a growing San Diego community. With each passing year, the business grew, and so did the reputation of Bekker's Catering. After raising a family themselves: Lara, Marla, and Scott, Olga and Oscar attempted to retire in 2001. They sold the business and spent six years travelling and enjoying their well-earned freedom. A New Venture-

In 2007, daughter Marla, son Scott and his wife, Jennifer, pulled Olga and Oscar out of retirement, and into a new venture - West Coast Barbecue and Catering, on Lake Murray Blvd. As a family, they ran yet another successful restaurant for 5 years in this location. Soon, they found themselves in such high demand for catering, that they reassumed ownership of Bekker's Catering in 2010. Scott and Jennifer welcomed baby Henry into the family in 2011, and Emily in 2013, and after a few years of running a busy restaurant as well as a rapidly expanding catering company, the entire family decided that they were ready to focus exclusively on catering, and sold West Coast Bar BQ in 2012. Full Circle-

Now, in 2013, Bekker's Catering has expanded yet again, doubled its facilities, and has settled into its rightful place as one of the largest, longest established, and most referred catering company in San Diego. From a small restaurant on an unpaved road, to a booming corporation with 4 generations of experience, Bekker's Catering has been serving top-quality food to the San Diego community for over 55 years. We now cater parties from 15-10,000 people, and are staffed and equipped to handle events of all sizes, menus, and styles. We serve well over 100,000 people each year, averaging 1,200 events per year. Equally comfortable with a company picnic or elegant wedding, Bekker's is your ultimate event planning resource. A new division, Bekker's Bridal Consulting, has just been added to the multitude of services we offer. Whether you need a luncheon delivery for 25 guests, a full-service upscale dinner for 500, or a tailgate party for 10,000, Bekker's Catering is here for you with the same friendly service, attention to detail, and family values that we have prided ourselves upon for half a century. We provide the pinnacle of customized service in an often difficult-to-navigate industry. Bekker's Catering - Awesome food and service for 55 years...and counting.
