96h and team knocked my wedding out of the park. People are still raving about how good my food was. I am so happy that I found them early on in my wedding search. He was a third of the price of most other wedding food vendors. The food was delicious, affordable price point, an extremely professional day of wedding. We ordered the try tip, Sweet whiskey chicken, green salad, mashed potatoes, fruit salad. We had some unusual dietary request and they were able to still make the food taste extremely delicious. I would highly recommend Kreig and team for any event. More...

96H catered our wedding this weekend and it was nothing short of incredible. Our wedding venue cancelled on us 4 months before our big day and we were STRESSING about how we were going to pull it off somewhere new, especially because ours was a multicultural wedding and we were looking to include multiple cuisines on our big day. From the minute we connected with Krieg, we knew it was the perfect match. He was kind, solution-oriented, fair, and a joy to work with. After we nailed down our main menu for the apps and dinner, he went above and beyond to set up other snack stations throughout our menu at no extra cost, all because he knew how meaningful they would be to mg husband and I and our entire family. We were served food immediately and our guests raved about the taste as they went back for more and more. By the end of the event we felt like Krieg and his team were a part of our family. All of the stars aligned when they brought 96H into our wedding lineup. Don't think, just give him a call and enjoy! More...

We hired 96H Brand Catering for our wedding in July. I hardly ever write reviews but they deserve one. From the beginning of the process, everything was awesome. We contacted several catering companies for quotes and the best and the owner responded within one hour. We were able to set up a tasting appointment for our preferred menu options. The tasting plates were huge and very delicious. We opted for a lunch buffet style tri-tip and chicken bbq. The food was amazing and they were able to work with our need for some vegetarian options. The pricing was very reasonable. My coworkers are still talking about how delicious it was. Everyone was full and happy. I would hire them again in a heartbeat. More...

Absolutely exceptional. We made arrangements with a local restaurant for an event at the Vet's Hall. Verified with the restaurant several times that they could meet the 11am delivery time and they verified each time. 2 days before the event they told us that their staff would not be arriving until 11am that day and the food would not be ready until 1am or later. I called Krieg in an absolute panic and he took over, recommended all the greatest hits and agreed to cater for me even though it was on a Saturday and he was booked back to back months in advance. Everyone raved about the food. It was a closed private event but we fed all the Veterans who came in to the Vet's bar and they (and everyone else) could not stop talking about the food. Kreig is not only a fantastic chef he is a fantastic human being and there are so few of those these days. He has a life long fan club and we will be using him many times over (this time with much more than 2 days notice ) Thank you so much 96H Brand Catering!!!!

If I could give them 10 stars I would! They have exceptional customer service and their food is amazing!! For starters I want to say Krieg was such a pleasure to work with from the day we booked all the way to the day of the event. He was always very responsive and was easy to get in contact with whenever I had any questions. From giving us tips on how we could run our dinner service, to dealing with special diets, and some possible issues we could run into and avoid. I had the peace of mind knowing that I did not have to worry about a THING. We got married on June 25, 2022 but originally booked with 96H before the pandemic. We had tried countless BBQ catering from all over the Bay Area and none met our standard for BBQ. Well Krieg and his team hit it out the ball park.We had their bbq whiskey chicken, bbq ribs, hot links, Mac and cheese, and bbq beans for our 150 person dinner service. All of our guest can't stop raving about how delicious the food was. Krieg's staff even brought my husband and I our plates of food to our table. Such a nice gesture making sure we ate :) At the end of the event, Krieg packed the very few leftovers in a nice containers for us and packed them in the fridge. Which didn't last that long before my family started digging into them lol. Overall my experience with 96H was exceptional. I can't thank them enough. Nothing beats seeing how happy all our family friends were, tearing up some good ol' BBQ! I look forward to having them cater any of my future events. I will continue to recommend this place over and over again. Thanks again 96H!!! More...

Updating this again, and fortunately it's for the wedding that finally happened! Everything pretty much still stands in my original reviews of 96H Brand Catering. During the event, Krieg personally greeted us with the appetizers we selected! He also brought us our plates at our sweethearts table, which was so kind of him too considering that he and his team were already busy taking care of all of our guests. We felt so taken care of from Krieg and his team at our event. No surprise but the food was amazing! I've been getting lots of compliments from our guests on how delicious it all was. Krieg, you knocked it out of the park for us and for that we will never forget you, your kindness, professionalism, and overall help that you've given us ever since we first contacted you. We are so grateful to have had such an amazing vendor as yourself. For anyone reading this and 96H's many other great reviews, you will not be disappointed with the service and food.

This is almost a year late (falls under the "I thought I did, but apparently I didn't" category), but I would be remiss if I didn't leave a review. About a year ago (during full Covid shutdown), my co-workers gifted me and my family with a gift certificate for 96H Brand Catering.

The owner was so pleasant to work with, the food was delicious (and plentiful), and delivery was timely.

I have been meaning to get in here & write this review but unfortunately have lagged in doing so, so this is long overdue! ! What can I say, Krieg is AMAZING!! He is literally SUPERMAN! Not only did he save our Annual All Hands Service Awards Meeting, but he went above & beyond what I ever imagined! We normally have an in-person event every year to recognize employees, but as we all know COVID single handedly took out every event or option therefore leaving us very limited choices. When Krieg agreed to do the "virtual" catering for us, I didn't even know what that would look like. He individually delivered all of our remote workers lunches to about 30 different addresses, in about 4 different cities, all on time for them to have their food at our 1st ever Virtual Event! As you can imagine he had to start the deliveries fairly early but Some said that the food remained hot even until Noon!! It came with all the proper utensils and there was not 1 complaint about the taste... with over 70 employees, I'd say that is pretty impressive. In addition, There was about 20 packed lunches delivered to our District Office for the service crew employees & about 25 for our Treatment plant facility employees down the way. Everyone was so happy & impressed with the service & quality of food that we will definitely be using 96H again & I wouldn't hesitate to hire them for my own personal events. We had the Vegtarian meatballs & pasta for our, with side salad & veggies for our Vegan employees & the Whiskey chicken ( w/no alcohol), tri tip & mashed potatoes for our carnivores (LOL). They all came with a brownie or cookie & bottled water. Again, simply AMAZING! I am so thankful & appreciative to Krieg & team for making our 1st virtual event a big hit! More...

Krieg, the business owner, helped us plan a menu for about 30 people and worked with us to accommodate some dietary restrictions (vegan, gluten-free) for some of our guests.

We had leftover salad and another veg side dish but that's no surprise. People also asked to take home a second plate and asked where we ordered from so that was a great sign.
