We called Debbie with about a one week notice on a super last-minute catering idea and she made our culinary dreams come true! We were hosting a 25 person birthday party and she provided an incredible low country boil. We also added a pound of crab special for the birthday girl. We had a wonderful experience with clambake OC. Everything from getting a quote to the on-site chef who served and cleaned up in an efficient and expedient way. I will use them again and would recommend them to anybody! read more

Debbie is full of personality, and has your best interest for a successful meal! Truly a pleasure to work with! Our guests are still talking about it a month later!

Clambake OC is the only company I use for my client's clambakes. From start to finish Debbie and her staff are the team to hire for a seafood boil / clambake. They are always able to accommodate my client's special requests. This last event, my client had a few additional guests RSVP the morning of. We needed to increase the total catering guest count by 10. I called Debbie at 9:00 am and she calmly assured me that would not be a problem to source, shop and provide the additional lobsters, fresh baked bread and all the other items we needed for the additional guests. What a sigh of relief. A great event planner has to rely on great vendors. Debra and her staff always deliver the best seafood and service. read more

Debbie, Steve and Elvis are awesome. I can't give them enough stars. I have had the pleasure of booking them twice. Once for a National Charity League event serving 100 people and secondly for a small birthday get together. Their service is just different. It's not everyday you attend a clambake! They work to accommodate any size group, even offer to lend cute seaside decor, tables and table clothes! They provide cutlery, serving boats, the most amazing french bread, pesto dipping sauce and all the spices and hot sauce you would need! A truly memorable experience for all of our guests! I splurged on the lobster tails and would do it again! Just fabulous! They are also adapting to this time during Covid, offering contactless delivery of their signature boils! If you are looking for a unique way to celebrate or just craving a clambake, do not hesitate to give them a call! You can even choose your seafood! Thank you OC Clambake for your amazing, creative meal! read more

Clambake OC - undefined - Caterers Near Me - Orange, California

I'm way too old to use words like "awesome", but it this case, it applies. Debbie and Steve catered a clambake for a family party at our house this past Saturday, and the family was absolutely blown away. We ordered the traditional clambake with lobster tails. The food was fantastic, and I must say, these two have figured out how to prepare delicious clams without the sand or grit! Every single thing in the package was great - the clams, the lobster tails, the shrimp, the sausages, corn, potatoes and fresh bread. And the service was terrific too. This was easy to organize in advance, and Debbie delivered the food on time (in fact, a couple of minutes early), piping hot and fresh. They supply everything you need to enjoy the meal. all you have to do is serve and enjoy. Bottom line: they are the "real deal" for a clambake. read more

Debbie & Steve are amazing! I've been working with them on my dream birthday clambake celebration for months and they provided the best service and positive attitude. The food was delicious and my guests had the best things to say about the experience. From the homemade pesto sauce, perfectly cooked food, custom veggie kebabs, and full trough layout, I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The day went off without a hitch and we even had a small audience of people watching us with envy. Thank you, Debbie & Steve! read more

Clambake OC catered the 1st anniversary of my husband's liver transplant- his "liverversary". Deb and Steve helped execute the most perfect day! From start to finish they were easy to work with and very organized- not to mention absolutely lovely. Every detail was covered and our guests enjoyed every bite! The crab, shrimp, lobster and crawfish boil was a huge hit and we are still hearing from our friends about what an "epic" day it was. It was mouth watering delicious and so much fun. We will be making the liverversary a tradition and we plan to include Clambake OC as a part of this! read more

Clambake OC was an incredible find. I wanted to have a beach birthday clambake but my sister convinced me to let others do the cooking. I'm so glad I did. My experience with Clambake OC was 5 stars from beginning to end. Debbie was so accommodating and flexible with our menu (half clambake and half shrimp boil with a few chicken skewers in the mix). The food was delivered in styrofoam coolers that kept the food piping hot. The quality of the food was outstanding. Very fresh shrimp and clams with tasty seasoning, delicious sausage and really fresh corn. The meal came with everything you need--butter, bead, cocktail sauce, pesto, bread, and utensils and paper boats. They brought heavy paper to put on the table and it was fun to pour it all out. Great value, excellent food and service! read more

I was responsible in coordinating a dinner meeting for my work and decided to go with something different. My boss wanted that Eastcoast feel and wanted to have a Clambake on the beach. When I checked with other caterers, they were way too expensive, and they did not offer the traditional clambake setup. I called Debbie and her team, and they worked with me to provide exactly what we wanted to do for our team dinner. We had the clambake on the beach, the food was excellent and delivered hot. Debbie provided one of her staff Cameron to stay with us the whole time to ensure we had the assistance we needed. They were very professional and helpful, and we will definately use OC Clambake again. I recommend them to anyone who is looking for a smoothly ran event and delicious food. Thank you Deb!!!! read more

Wow! Debbie and Steve are amazing. Not only did our event go way better than I could have ever imagined, the food was AMAZING. The clams and shrimp were HUGE and cooked to perfection. Be prepared to eat. There was definitely enough for everyone to get more than full on their serving. They were also very understanding of allergies and dietary restrictions. They prepared chicken and veggies to accommodate all of my guests. I LOVE OC CLAM BAKE! read more

Oh my yum!!!! This was such a fun time! Deb and Steve came to a bachelorette party with 14 girls and fed us like queens!!! I think my favorite part is they bring sourdough bread and pesto for the table!! These two are so efficient and quick it was fun to watch. They come set up the boil, they serve, they clean and leave you to enjoy!!! To be honest we wanted them to join us we loved them so much. We had the shrimp & sausage combo with corn, potatoes, and mushrooms. It was Devine! Everything cooked perfectly and full of seasoning. Oh and they give you butter - lots of butter We had plenty of left overs and was sooo delicious the next day with their homemade cocktail sauce. I would highly recommend if you are looking for a fun girls night, birthday party, or just want amazing seafood cooked at your home! Already passing their business card to all my family in California! Can't wait to use them again! Thank you Deb & Steve!!! read more

They simply can't deliver and in know way would I count on them, They let me down big time and put tremendous stress on me, the customer, to find an alternate which I did across the country in Narragansett, Ri.. and let me add that they were close to $300 cheaper and no comparison in terms of quality and customer service and confidence.

The was the first Clambake experience for many in our family. They loved it!! What a fun, unique introduction to an East Coast seafood tradition. Planning the dinner with Debra was such a pleasure. She told me easiest way to set up long table with plastic, red and white checkered tablecloths. (It was also the easiest way to clean up!) We added lobster tails for each adult. Two dozen cupcakes and a yummy berry cobbler for dessert. Half the fun was the casualness of the meal. Everyone was happy, animated. Thanked us profusely. We will be calling ClambakeOC again for an encore experience! read more

This is my first clam bake and I can't tell you how much I enjoyed it. The clams were seasoned perfectly, the shrimp were boiled with the same seasoning and cooked precisely. Throwing in the potatoes and sausages made a great meal. Elvis, Debbie and Steve put on a fabulous event. I highly recommend using Clambake OC. read more

Our son in law surprised us with a clambake today, and everyone raved. The food arrived hot and ready to eat, and we all devoured the variety of food that was "dumped" onto the serving table on a white paper runner that didn't leak through! How do you do that? What a fantastic couple that set up our feast, and a great time was had by all. We are already dreaming up another excuse to have a party and use Clambake OC. read more

This was absolutely AMAZING! Every guest raved about the food and how much fun it was to eat. We will definitely uses OC Clambake again.

Clambake OC is truly the best in the biz! They hosted an outdoor beach birthday party and were the highlight of the entire party. The owners, Deb and Steve were an absolute delight to work with, very professional and accommodating. We had a few special food requests, and they were able to accommodate all of them and then some!

Clambake OC catered my husbands 50th birthday party in our backyard. They were amazing and very nice and easy to work with. The food was delicious and very favorable. They added 41 steamed lobsters to the clambake. It was an incredible and are guests loved every minute of it. Someone said it was the party of the year!! We chose to pour everything on the table (not do the buffet) and then everyone just used their hands to grab what they wanted to eat. My only suggestion would be to not put any condiments at the end of the table and spread the food end to end if you have guests sitting at the ends. Otherwise those guests can't really reach the food. I would then have Debbie and her staff pass paper towels, butter and sauces out after everyone sat down! Thank you Steve and Debbie! Clambake OC is the best! read more
