“My team and I have worked behind the scenes along side of Brittany owner of Urban Organics and her team for several years.Their food is always beautifully presented, delicious, current and seasonal.What really impresses me is the owner Brittany herself. She is helpful, approachable, personable and communicates effectively and respectfully. She is the same way with her colleagues (like me). I have no doubt that she is that way with her clients.This is the type of person that you would want to do business with. Brittany will do everything in her power to ensure that you get the highest quality food and service that you deserve.A a matter of fact, I have Urban Organics listed on my website as my favorite woman owned local caterer.I would highly recommend Urban Organics for your next event!“

“Hiroshi Catering was fantastic. We had a last minute celebration of life and we had the very best experience. The professionalism and taste of food was so above and beyond, we were totally floored. The Katsu chicken sandwiches, fresh sushi, gyoza and so much more were top notch. The whole house was 1/2 Japanese or more, and the traditional flavors were just perfect.“

“I am glad that they are located in Montclair. They have a clean store with good selection of items. Great customer service!“

“Amazing people serving amazing food!! Going to be ordering for my family members for Christmas gifts“

“On my way to the Bayfair farmer’s market I saw a guy bbq out on the sidewalk today. After the market, I decided to stop and long behold I found this place! 😄. had the delicious “Thank Que bowl and lumpia”. So fresh, tasty and delicious! I will be back.....thank u Chef Rene!“

“Juan and his team are the best! So polite and professional AND the food is spot on. We have used Elisa's Catering for the past two company holiday parties and mid-summer Mexican team get-together and we have booked them again for next year!“

“Donna is a real gem! I had to put together an event for 50 people with short notice and Donna took on the challenge. The food was absolutely delicious and received rave reviews from my guests. Fresh, flavorful and super tasty! I have already booked Donna for another event and I am looking forward to it already.“

“All of their meals are delicious and fresh! I've ordered several times and each time was consistently good. Very impressed with Dove Catering.“

“The best biriani I've ever had!“

“Thanks so much for the Passover meal - everything was delicious and I appreciate your helpfulness with my order and pick up during these unprecedented times!“

“3/13/13FRESH IS BESTLike clockwork, each morning a young girl (only a couple times has it been a guy) stops in our office with a rolling cooler of lunches. Each selection is $7. (Entrees recently went up $0.50). This is a really wonderful service for people who often work through their lunch and don't have time to bring one from home.One of the attorneys in our firm purchases a salad every day. Another attorney purchases entrees from time to time. I have tried a few of both. FFT has a variety of selections (March menu listed below) but I really like the salads best.Today's lunch is a Chinese chicken salad. The dressing is much too oily for me, but that's usually not the case. I feel like most of their dressings (while given far too much) are still healthy - often more vinegar based. It's very good though and everything in it tastes very fresh.From time to time the owner comes in our office and always seems very rushed but is overall pleasant. I always leave a tip with any purchase. I don't believe the employees are compensated all that well, especially with how hard they work, rain or shine. Plus, they are generally very friendly and always happy to pull out each item from their cooler and describe it for indecisive people with visual appetities. I'm sure I'm not the only one who requests this. Sometimes I don't even want lunch but I like seeing the options. Everything always looks delicious!March Menu as follows (I listed Monday and Tuesday only - options change daily):Chinese Chicken Tiger WrapSzechwan Chicken with NoodlesAsian Chicken Salad w/ Peach Ginger VinaigretteBBQ Chicken SaladMango Chicken SaladChicken Taco SaladPot Roast with Mash PotatoesHomemade Pork Tamales w/ Spanish RiceCali Chicken wrap w/ roasted bell peppers, spincach, cream cheese, cucumberMacaroni and cheese with BBQ Chicken fingersChinese Chicken SaladGrilled Sesame Chicken SaladFiesta Chicken SaladNOTE TO OWNER: I HAVE A SUGGESTION; INSTEAD OF INCLUDING A PLASTIC FORK IN EVERY CONTAINER, HOW ABOUT A ZIPLOCK FULL THAT THE EMPLOYEE CARRIES. S/HE CAN ASK SALAD PURCHASERS IF THEY NEED ONE. SINCE MANY OFFICES HAVE KITCHENS, AND SINCE PLASTIC FORKS ARE NOT REUSEABLE, THIS INCLUSION SEEMS VERY ENVIRONMENTALLY UNFRIENDLY. I KNOW OUR OFFICE APPRECIATES YOUR REUSABE HOT MEAL CONTAINERS. JUST AN IDEA...“

“We decided to plan staff lunch to thank them their hard work this year. As we were looking we encountered with havanas catering, based the reviews we thought it was worth the shot.

Staff was super friendly, responsive and attentive when we called to confirm the order. Upon arrival they set up the food on time, and let me just say, the food WAS ABOVE AND BEYOND!

Highly recommend the lechon :) defensively ordering again from here if we do any other staff lunches!“

“OMG! The Chicken Mole dinner was off the hook! So flavourful tender and juicy....the mole sauce was perfect! Highly recommended. I can't wait to try the meat loaf! 😋“

“Shoutout to Simple Elegance Catering for delivering an incredible brunch spread at our high-profile ribbon cutting in Pleasanton. From our CEO and Executive Leadership Team to the Mayor of Pleasanton, the guest list was stacked — and the food presentation absolutely held its own. You helped me look good in front of a tough crowd — and judging by the empty platters, everyone left impressed. Grateful for your professionalism, flexibility, and flawless execution. Highly recommend! @SECatering“

“Our experience with Kinders catering was a 10! The food was delicious! Everyone THANKED US for great food at a wedding! The ribs, lime chicken, and potato salad were huge hits. Ryan and his staff were great to work with! I HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your next event, and consider for a wedding and make everyone happy!“

“Huge portions! Delicious food!
If you’re looking for true, mouth-watering barbecue, Chilly Willy’s BBQ is the place to be! Every bite of their smoked meats is packed with incredible flavor — tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection. Their brisket melts in your mouth, the ribs have the perfect smoky crust, and the pulled pork is so savory it barely needs sauce (but trust me, their house-made sauces are a must-try too).

The sides are just as impressive. Their macaroni and cheese is creamy, rich, and the ultimate comfort food — the perfect pairing with the smoky meats. The baked beans are hearty, sweet, and savory, with just the right hint of smokiness. Every dish feels like it’s made with love and attention to detail.

On top of all that, the staff is friendly, the service is fast, and the atmosphere makes you feel right at home. Whether you’re craving a full plate of ribs or just looking to enjoy some incredible sides, Chilly Willy’s BBQ delivers an unforgettable meal every single time. Highly recommend!“

“Market Hall provided catering for our conference with ~100 people and they could not have done a better job! They were ahead of schedule, the food was amazing, and they were extremely friendly. They also have extremely affordable prices considering how high quality the food/drinks were. If you need a catering company for the general area they are the best!“

“Always fabulous!!! Friendly folks!!“

“Heck ya!! What a fabulous dining experience! It’s a cozy restaurant in downtown Martinez. Definitely recommend making reservation as this place can be super packed esp. during live music hours. Everything we ordered, from their daily specials, to locally sourced ingredients give you a farm to table kind of dining venture. The house cocktails are refreshing-ly good. If you have a sweet tooth, their in-house desserts to finish off your meal-perfect amount of sweetness! Can’t wait to be back for more!“

“t The food is fantastic. Especially easy to grab and go after work. Try a couple entrees to share. Yummy.“

“Daniella is a gracious and skilled chef, and was very accommodating to my group's needs - a weekend yoga retreat. Everyone loved her food, which was always ready on time, and presented beautifully. Highly recommended!!“

“We had Chef Aaron cater a birthday party at our house with about 50 guests and it was an incredible experience. From the start, he was professional, friendly and easy to communicate with. Prices were very reasonable, and the food is unbelievably delicious. He was punctual, set up a buffet for the party and cleaned up after. Our guests were obsessed with the bbq tacos, and many got like 4 plates bc they loved it so much. Veg options were available for my vegetarian friends too. MexiQ will be my go-to for any future parties. Thank you Chef!!!“

“I had an amazing experience with Crumble & Whisk! They catered a community event for me during the holiday season, and I can't wait to use them again! This Black-owned bakery offers the most delicious, fresh-baked treats with a perfect balance of flavor and texture. From the buttery, flaky pastries to the rich, moist cakes, every bite is a delight. The staff is warm and welcoming, making you feel like family from the moment you walk in. Their commitment to quality and community is truly inspiring. Charles is a master at his craft, and both his catering and baking will elevate anyone's event to the highest standard.“

“I can't say enough about Basilico Italian Catering. They did the most amazing job at my wedding. Context: I used to cater society weddings in Washington DC (senators' kids, etc) and my catering captain who taught me everything was at my wedding. We were both very impressed with the professionalism, the food, the staff; Basilico nailed it from start to finish. Manny is passionate about food and it shows, the staff was so attentive and CARING - I can't think of another word. You would think that it was their daughters' wedding the way the paid attention to every detail and went out of their way to make everything perfect. Thank you!“

“Une super cuisine française de qualité ! Les St Jacques sont à tomber ! Un pur délice qui a ravi toute la famille. De même pour la bouillabaisse de poissons à ne pas manquer pour les amateurs de poisson. Fleur est très gentille et à l’écoute des demandes ; service irréprochable !! Je recommande à 150 %👍“

“AWESOME Experience I celebrated 2 events and I can't wait to use the service again.
My daugthet' s 16 birthday was flawless

And I had a great family reunion that all was to the top. High standards Great pricing and EXCELLENT CLEAN SERVICE
Thanks Scott !“

“The best looking/quality and most affordable catering company in the Bay Area. They’ve hosted some of our most important events for 3 generations. Thank you for making my daughter’s graduation party amazing, everyone loved the food. 2-3 platters are huge and feed 20-40 people, 30-50 if you get 4-5. #1 hit was that smoked salmon tea sandwiches… soooo good!“

“best food ever😊very friendly staff, food is done quickly.“

“Just had some delicious Blocko Tacos! Mmmm... so good! Nice blend of flavors and textures. The cheese sauce has a nice bite to it. The tortilla is nice and soft, but doesn't fall apart. We highly recommend this delicious treat! Don't be shy, have yours with everything on them. We did! You won't be sorry!🌮 Uncle Curtis and Auntie Jan ♥️“

“The gluten free cookies that actually taste great. Such a treat. Quality ingredients, not too sweet. The traditional gluten free Alfajores cookies are amazing.“

“I’m picky when it comes to food, especially bbq. The experience at Roderick’s doesn’t disappoint. They also have a really tasty, and affordable lunch menu. The service is very friendly, which is harder to come by now a days. I strongly recommend you give Roderick’s a try.“

“The food is DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this place.“

“food was excellent..service was great...if u want excellent authentic Italian food...this is the place for you ..“

“best food ever😊very friendly staff, food is done quickly.“

“Amazing! Simply the best taco truck the whole bay area. I don’t go anywhere else. Best food for my buck!“

“Wow. This is a very unassuming restaurant and off a busy road so easy to miss. This is some of the most flavorful Mediterranean food I've had in a while. All of the meats were incredibly well flavored. The rice was delicious and the sauces were excellent. And our toddlers ate. This is a BIG deal. Our toddlers hate all food outside of crab, berries, Mexican rice/beans, and now“

“Food is great, loved the chicken fettuccine, the bread. the place is clean, the servers are friendly and the service is fast. The price is just right. It’s my first time to be here and loved it.“

“Really enjoyed the food. Everything was nice and fresh i will be coming back.“

“I had the pleasure of performing a book signing at this welcoming Caribbean Restaurant & Bakery this past weekend. I was blown away by the artistic wall murals, the outdoor decorations and seating opportunities, the inflow of people of diverse backgrounds that came to satisfy their palette with the mouth-watering taste of Caribbean cuisine and tantalizing delicacies. I applaud Chef Ann and her Team for an outstanding job of keeping the Caribbean culture alive in this very quaint section of Oakland California.“

“Taco Tuesday 🌮!!
Very good tacos. You really get snack tacos size. Don't underestimate the size, you will get full. I believe 6 would be plenty enough. You will definitely need a soda or drink to wash it down. Very satisfying. However, for $1 and snack tacos seems expensive. I suppose that's inflation as everybody puts it. Either way, very good and nice selections of other taco Tuesday selection.“

“First visit, weeknight, not crowded. Food very good to excellent. Beet trio appetizer superb. Not clear if the 3 dipping sauces were for beets or brisket but good either way. Fiancee had wagyu burger, excellent. I had the combo plate…brisket a tad dry, fried chicken very good, corn bread muffin & cole slaw great. Extensive wine list, top labels. We shared a flight and each had a glass of bubbly. Portion size good … I had leftovers for breakfast. Server Jeff casual but on the ball with advice. Menu somewhat limited, especially for vegans.“

“what a gem this spot is, I loved the chicken kabab plate, beef shawerma fries and the lahmbajin manakish they were soo good and the service and staff were friendly thank you I will definitely be back again.“

“Honestly the best soul food I have had in years. Ox tail was the true meaning of tendernisim, and for 35 bucks, you can not beat it. mac and cheese was perfect, greens were on point, fire red beans and the shrimp, OMFG. These guys know what they are doing. An absolute must stop for authentic soul food. And they do catering or single plates.“

“Great deli / cafe attached to a catering business. Sandwiches are outstanding. Meat piled high and very fresh vegetables. Roll was soft and light, also.

The deli operation closes at 2:00 pm daily and is closed on weekends. But in-between that, you can get a great sandwich here .

They have housemade salads of all types, incl pasta etc. I didn't try them but will - they all looked great

And, it is one of the few places to sit down and eat around here that doesn't try to shake a tip out of you at the cash register before even trying the food.

Definitely going back“

“The taste is very good, I will go there again next time.“

“Deliciously delicious and its close“

“The guy & girl at the counter knew their ice cream and were very helpful and polite, don’t always get that kind of service. Keep up the good work! 👍🏼“

“Humphry Slocombe Ice Cream is amazing. We always saw the long lines at The Veranda and finally decided to try it, and now we get it. The flavors are wild in the best way. Anything with chocolate, peanut butter, or cake? Game-changer.

It might’ve been the sugar talking, but everything we tried was next-level. Prices are fair, portions are solid, and the taste speaks for itself. What really stood out was the customer service. Even as the line grew behind us, the person helping us stayed calm, friendly, and didn’t rush us, just good energy all around. It’s order and sit outside spot so definitely know what you want and plan where you’re sitting after or before.

If you’re anywhere near this place, don’t skip it. We’ll definitely be back.

Follow me and friend me for more real reviews that spotlight the places actually worth your time.“

“This place was the single redeeming thing in the area. I got stuck in this commercial cesspool for four and a half hours and wandered around for 3 of them trying to find decent food worth the price or some store that wasn't marked up for garbage. No dice. Finally found this place tucked away, so thankful. Had a couple drinks and chatted with old locals. Definitely support this place. In general I'll be avoiding the area but if I ever find myself there again I'll definitely go in for a drink and to get a brake from the depressing retail area outside.“
