The food was FANTASTIC! Thank you again for being such a special part of my sons 1st bday! Everyone raved about the spring rolls especially. Would highly recommend and hope to use you all again!
I was planning a bachelorette party in Santa Ynez and wanted to do a private chef one night, but our costs were adding up. I wanted to have the same dinner party vibe without the effort of me cooking for 15 girls and one of the chefs I was going to use recommended Poe & Co. It was perfect and so easy!!! We had it dropped off in the morning and everything came in reheatable, compostable containers. The food was delicious and our cake was beautiful! So happy with this experience overall!
Delicious SoCal fare for a movie star photo shoot in Carpinteria. I didn't know anyone up there so I asked the gals at 101 North Locations who is the best: Poe & Co. Heavenly southern egg biscuit breakfast sandwiches, overnight oats with yummy toppings, fresh perfect coffee and milk assortment. I wish I had a photo to add. Thank you Poe & Co.
Poe & Co catered our event for the non-profit, Somos Amigos Medical Missions. The food was fresh, delicious, creative, and beautifully presented. Everyone was able to circulate and socialize while tasty plates of individual small, finger-food was situated on nearby platters. There were options for all tastes. Jamie was very responsive from my very first inquiry call, and helped guide decisions on the menu. Delivery was impeccably on-time. I would recommend Jamie and Poe & Co without hesitation!
HIGHLY RECOMMEND..I worked for Jamie and Jayson Poe for 4 years and learned so much about what it takes to run a successful business! They are both trained chefs with a keen eye for detail and impeccable taste. As Poe & Co Catering, I worked events ranging from intimate dinners, business luncheons, weddings, baby showers, birthdays, school fundraisers, celebrity functions...the list could go on. In regards to catering the Poe's are second to none.They know what it takes to execute a successful event and come super prepared. On top of that the food is DELICIOUS! Who knew that a wedding or large scale event menu could be so much more than chicken + fish! They source ingredients from trusted partners and build out a menu based on their expertise plus feedback from clients. What you get when hiring the Poe's to cater your event is a unique, meticulous, memorable meal with the best service!In addition to catering Poe & Co also offers weekly meal delivery/pick up service for Santa Barbara and the surrounding area. I was their meal delivery driver for the past 4 years and got to see exactly what it takes to create and update a menu based on seasonal ingredients. This included but was not limited to preparation of several meals for multiple households (all while while navigating dietary restrictions and differing preferences).The Poe's also offer specialty menus during holidays such as Thanksgiving and Christmastime. Getting to prep in the kitchen alongside Jamie and Jayson was such an honor - I equate it to working alongside the best in the industry. Think along the lines of some of the greats: Gordon Ramsay (without the spiciness), Wolfgang Puck, or Julia Child. Getting to work in a kitchen with Jamie and Jayson is the highest privilege - I am so above and beyond grateful for getting to experience this.In addition to Poe & Co Catering and Weekly Meal Service, I got to assist in the launch of their new dried/packaged camping/emergency meals - Folk Foods. Watching this business come to life was magnificent - starting with the dream of wanting a better, healthier option for camping or backpacking. Packaging, quality control, and introducing the product to the community at local markets, I got to assist in this exciting new endeavor at its conception.I will greatly miss my weekly deliveries but look forward to participating in more events in the future with Poe & Co.
Wonderful customer service. I've been ordering Wednesday meals for family members who live in Santa Barbara for the last few weeks. I live in Michigan so I was not sure how good the food would be. Now I know! My sister's feedback is that she thought that Oprah's chef had prepared the meals. Highly recommend!
We have been enjoying the Poe & Co "Wednesday Meal Delivery" for about a year now and are very happy with the quality of the food and the convenience and reliability of the delivery service. Their menus offer a variety of delicious options for both the meat-eater and the vegetarian in our family. The owners, Jamie and Jayson, have been quick to respond to questions and problems sent to their contact email. We can highly recommend them.
Food was delicious! Ordering was easy. Customer service great! And loved they the food easily arrived right on site with n advance of our event. This made my daughter’s 1st birthday extra special!!! Thanks guys!
We randomly found Jamie & Jayson Poe online years ago while up in Montecito, and we hired them for a private dinner party we were hosting. Their food was insanely delicious, and working with Jamie and Jayson was such a complete joy. In fact, we enjoyed them so much that we have been hiring them ever since. They have catered every dinner party, holiday, and cocktail party we have hosted in the past 8 years, and we cannot imagine a special occasion in our house with their warm smiles and delicious food. Jamie and Jayson are creative and extremely talented, and we are beyond grateful when we get to indulge in their yummy creations. We would eat their food daily if we could!
Working with Poe and Co is an absolute dream! Easy communication, fantastic food, beautiful presentation. Cannot recommend them enough!!

We have used Poe & Co the past and chose to use them again. Jayson and Jamie are amazing! The meal was for a special occasion serving 16 people. Everything was wonderful!!! And portions were perfect. Short ribs are truly a winner! And, the process of working with them on the menu and ordering was very easy and user-friendly. Yet another great culinary experience!

And PS - best cakes in the world if you have a special event like a birthday. I'm definitely coming back for the next party! highly recommend them. Jamie is the best!
It was so wonderful working with Poe & Co. The staff is friendly and the food is beyond delicious!
Poe and Co. does it again! We recently hired them to deliver food for about 30 bridal party needing lunch before a big wedding production. Not only was the food delicious and inhaled by the group almost immediately, but the food was made so thoughtfully with such fresh and colorful ingredients that it really looked more like works of art! They never let me down and always make me look good when I suggest them to my clients. I have done small intimate weddings and everything in between with them and they are always professional, creative, communicative and offer fantastic service and amazing food. I highly recommend them!
