ON-SITE CATERING INCLUDES: (200 DAWG MINIMUM)

Catering

This option includes our full-service staff and all equipment, including up to eight of our five-foot portable grills. Grilling and wrapping are done on-site.

We can serve guests at the grill (weather-permitting) or we can wrap the dawgs and bring them inside to you. Guests dress the dawgs themselves with our legendary special sauce, ketchup, mustard, onions, pickles, banana peppers, or sauerkraut, all provided on serving tables. We set up and take down all equipment, and can serve 300 people per grill per hour. Travel fees apply.

Contact a manager at your local store for more information:
(Provo) 801.373.3294, (Orem) 801.226.3294, (American Fork) - coming soon.

Other things to know: On-site grilling is booked on a "first-come, first-served" basis, so we recommend you book your event at least a month in advance — our calendar fills up fast. J Dawgs provides the equipment, food, staff, and service tables. Guests' tables, chairs, trash cans, etc. are your responsibility. If any temporary permits (public gatherings) are required, we'll help you get them.

In order to reserve a date, we need a signed contract and a $100 deposit.

Overview

Catering

An event catered by J Dawgs is one that people remember. In fact, when guests find out we're the caterers, they usually flip, regardless of how high their tax bracket is. We've seen this happen time and time again, having catered hundreds of events.

The fact is, we love to cater. We offer the same great food and vibe that you find at our restaurant — at the location of your choice.

We'll work closely with you to make your event a smashing success and alleviate your stress. Just show us where to set up our grills and we'll take care of the rest.

Need us to feed 10,000 people in one night? Need J himself to say a few words to everyone? Need us to grill outside in the dead of winter? No problem, we've done all that before.

You and your guests will love your event catered by J Dawgs . You'll see.

J Dawgs in the news

WE PRIDE OURSELVES ON SERVING TASTY AND QUALITY DAWGS.

In just a few short years, J Dawgs has gained legendary status with a cult-like following among Utah County's hot-dog connoisseurs and regular folks alike.

What's the secret of our success? Part of it comes from our history as the brainchild of a creative, broke, and somewhat directionless BYU student.

The rest of our success comes from serving one of the tastiest and highest-quality hot dogs you'll ever experience. You can actually see the difference in our photos, with the trademarked crisscross scoring of each dawg.

But wait'll you taste the difference. J dawgs are the perfect combination of100% beef dogs, the best grill money can buy, freshly-baked buns, and our Special Sauce that oozes into the cracks and crevasses of the scoring. Yeah, the sauce is when the magic happens.

Add condiments, kettle chips, and a soda, and, dare we say, you'll be very glad you came.

History of J Dawgs

Shack Click to enlarge  photo by Scott G. Edwards

Let's hop in our DeLorean and take a trip back to 2004. Jayson, known as "J," is a BYU student with no car, no girlfriend, no money, and no post-school career prospects. One day, after passing a 12′×12′, abandoned red shack covered with concert posters, J thinks, "That'd be a great spot for a hot dog stand."

A few months later, J pawns his prized Fender Telecaster and launches his dream. He takes trips to home-repair stores and carries back supplies on the city bus. He discovers which dawg is most delicious by hosting taste-testing parties. He continues to attend classes in the morning, mow lawns for BYU grounds crew in the afternoon, and fix up the shack at night.

On, June 9, 2004, J Dawgs opens its doors, hitting the ground running. Since then, much has changed, but more has stayed the same. J Dawgs outgrew the little red shack and opened a bigger location. While the shack is fondly missed, it's great to offer indoor seating and bathrooms. You no longer see J working all by himself, but you still get the same legendary dawgs and the same wonderful service — probably better, actually — from his terrific employees. And in case you were worried about him, J finally found a car, a girlfriend, some money, and a pretty good career.
