Hazy Barbecue

  • Serves Oakland, CA

With a central location in the Bay Area, they serve events around San Francisco, from Napa to San Jose. Hazy Barbecue catering team welcomes couples to taste dishes to create a custom menu.

This service is ideal for large events, and wait staff will be on-site throughout the meal to set up, serve, and clean up. Individually boxed meals available!

We hired Hazy for October wedding in Walnut Creek and it has quickly become a fan favorite! We have eaten there personally multiple times after having never tried it before our wedding tasting. All of our guests thoroughly enjoyed the food - we had kids eating meat when they normally hate meat!! The communication was always prompt and easy! While we did have a few hiccups due to miscommunication Hazys team was quick to correct and get everything in order. I would only recommend slightly warmer catering dishes to help keep the food a bit warmer. But overall we were very pleased with the service and the food!

Everyone at my wedding raved about the food. My husband and I even got to take a rack of ribs home that he saved for us…it only lasted a day bc we ate it so fast. Just hire him, he’s amazing.

CaterCow 

5.0

  • Starts at $200
  • Serves Oakland, CA

We provide thoughtfully curated catering that your group or event will love. We pride ourselves on an amazing experience and our customer service. We have been serving our communities since 2012 and look forward to serving you as well! We are a great option for those events that may not need table service. Brunches, BBQ's, rehearsal dinners. We do it all and have you covered!

CaterCow was amazing! While we worked directly with another caterer for the main wedding dinner and hors d'oeuvres, we used CaterCow for a variety of side things. From CaterCow, we got a dessert crepe station — you could tell they specialized in crepes and had lot of experience with it, not something they just clobbered together. We also booked a freshly-made-on-site guacamole station. Having chefs slicing avocados and chopping onions in front of you was really neat!
