    brisket with mac n' cheese and loaded potato salad
    Amy Y.

    Dat Q BBQ be realll good. I saw them advertise on Facebook a couple of times but I basically live on the exact opposite side of the bay from them, so had to ignore my BBQ cravings. They just participated in an independent vendor event in Hayward, which gave me a good opportunity to have a closer place to procure some barbecue! It's an amazing deal for the taste, skill, and portions that go into the food. Love a good man trying to feed people with good food instead of someone just tryna make bank. A plate of brisket was $15, ribs $14, chicken $12, and pork belly burnt ends (a la carte) were $10. First of all, the burnt ends?!?!? Fire in the mouth. Fire and fat, more like. That smoky burn on them was phenomenal - it was caramelized, almost candied meat melting in your mouth mixing with fatty, BBQ goodness. Yum, next time I need two helpings of these... The other BBQ meats included two sides. The brisket was my favorite meat. Big slices smoked well, tender, forkable, and a good amount of fat. The chicken was pretty good and tender as well. The ribs were huge, but I had a dry piece. I can't fault them so much, as I think ribs are one of the harder meats to get just perfect if you're cooking en masse. What made these meats really good was the generous spread of BBQ sauce all over them - so tangy, sweet, smoky, and delicious! For sides, they only had mac n' cheese and loaded potato salad available. And geez, both of these things were loaded. The mac came in a huge block (they came straight from the pan they baked it in), and was so thick and cheesy. Great when reheated a bit! The loaded potato salad was, uh, far from a salad! I mean, it was loaded with EVERY caloric heavy item! So much sour cream was mixed into it - someone knows how to make people full... There was also a generous amount of bacon crumbles, and freshly chopped green onions mixed within. Very yummy, very heavy, and a very unique, creamy spin on the potato salad. Love the Q, and would come for the Q any time they're closer to me! For the value and portions of their BBQ obviously cooked with heart, Dat Q BBQ is definitely one of the best BBQ providers of the bay area.

    Was able to book them for our corporate catering event in-house. We did individual lunch boxes. Evelyn was easy to work with and communicated well on a short notice. They were also able to put everyone's name on each of the boxes. The pricing included delivery and all of the utensils. We ordered chicken, ribs, brisket in varying combinations. They even had a vegetarian mushroom melt which people loved. Great food, good size portions and great pricing. Hopefully we can get them to cater again.

    Chicken, Mac N Cheese and beans!

    Met Dat Q BBQ at a Wine, Cigars, Jazz and BBQ event in Livermore a few weeks ago. The BBQ was amazing! We had the chicken and brisket with mac n cheese and beans. The event was that much better with Dat Q BBQ. We loved it so much we went back for seconds! This weekend they were at Longevity Winery in Livermore. We had the ribs and pork belly burnt ends, yes pork belly!!! If your looking for great BBQ, give them a follow on Instagram and Facebook to find out where they'll be next!!!

    Wow... Hosted an…read moreevent with about ~115 people. While I was unfamiliar with ordering food for a large number of people, Priscilla helped recommend the amount of food for the requirements, "I don't want to run out of food during the event" and "we love desserts". Another side note: I was catering snacks rather than a meal. I ended up ordering - tri-tip - mashed potatoes - roasted veggies - assorted bread - lemon garlic salmon - veggie garlic pasta - Greek salad - dinner rolls - fresh fruit display - fresh fruit tarts - petit fours - gluten free mini cupcakes: red velvet, chocolate, vanilla, lemon I appreciate that Priscilla suggested to halve the salmon fillets to have double the number of salmon pieces for guests to have snack portions rather than meal portions. Although mini cupcakes were not listed on her menu, she was able to provide them. Also, you can ask her about gluten free desserts. You can have more than just macarons. Compliments I received... "Did you make the food? The salmon and tri-tip were so juicy." "This is better than most wedding food." 2 people inquired who I used to cater for the event. I received general praise that the food was good. I received explicit praise that the petit fours and fruit tarts were good. The mashed potatoes were thick but good. Passion for catering's setup and tear down went smoothly. It was maybe 20-30 minutes of setup and 10 minutes of tear down. I appreciate that they were able to provide decor for the food tables. They also provided some takeout containers for us to take leftover food. 10/10 would cater from them again.

Every single dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and clearly made with so much love and care. You can tell she puts her heart into her work. From the small details to the bold flavors, everything was thoughtful and intentional. Guests are still talking about how amazing the food was ...and trust me, we're a tough crowd to impress! Not only is she incredibly talented, but she's also kind, professional, and easy to work with. If you're looking for a caterer who brings soul to the table and takes pride in her craft, Passion for Catering is it! I'm so grateful to have experienced her work and will absolutely be recommending her to everyone I know. Thank you for making such a special day even more unforgettable. You truly outdid yourself!

This business is located across the street from the union city bart station. There's a parking lot on site and street parking in front but not too much. Inside is clean and modern decor with a traditional mexican vibe, if that's possible. Next to the counter is a salsa bar with other forget me nots such as onions, jalapeños, radishes etc. I ordered a few tacos to get a feel for their strengths and weaknesses in their meats. If you know me, you know my philosophy on taquerias and taco trucks. You cant judge off of one item because you might miss out on their main focused dish. Anyway, I got a steak, al pastor, Chile verde and the 2 different shrimp variant tacos. All of them checked out, not a single weakness on the menu. The salsa was on the more bland side. If they bring some more heat or flavor, this place could be unstoppable. Especially for the area, because I haven't really found a spot I could put my name next to. All in all, this is an authentic mexican joint that can be enjoyed by all walks of life. The service was great, as well.. the staff was friendly and patient, answering all of our questions. I definitely recommend this place

I liked that they included corn tortillas along with the taco fixin's (radishes, cucumber, onions, cilantro) The food wasn't quite ready when we arrived for pick up. So we went for a walk and came back. It's was about 30 min later when the food was ready to go. At first I thought I might have not ordered enough for the crowd. The containers looked small. I had roughly 26 employees to feed. Turns out we had enough and enough for some take home plates. The food was delicious. The guac tasted so fresh and the salsa too - yum! Everyone enjoyed the food and asked for me to order from them again. I will be going there for myself to try out the other items.

    We had a mediocre experience with The Market catering…read more We struggled to get in touch with them to place our initial order for a small event. We sent multiple messages and voicemails that went unreturned for several days. Just as we were getting ready to change plans and look for a different vendor, we heard back (they had been out on vacation). We decided to still give them a try. (Note: the owner response below suggests that they responded within 24 hours, but that doesn't match our experience - I think this misunderstanding is due to the fact that two of us coordinating the event had reached out to the Market . My initial inquiry submitted on their website went unanswered, and so a couple days later my colleague tried to call and left a voicemail. Eventually my colleague was able to connect with them to place an order. I actually never received any response by phone or email.) The food arrived on time, but the delivery team forgot part of our order. We tried calling both of numbers on the invoice associated with the Market, but they both went right to voicemail. We eventually got a hold of the delivery team and received our missing item halfway through our event. The portions we received were very small compared to the description. For example, "32 tea sandwiches" seems like 4-5 normal sandwiches sliced into 6ths - wild to pay $2.25 for each tiny sandwich slice. The quality of the ingredients seemed mediocre for the price (e.g. the bread seemed like basic bagged sandwich bread, sliced into uneven rectangles). The chicken skewers - the most expensive item we got - were surprisingly small. "Watermelon feta skewers bites" were about a third green olives (not listed in the description) which our guests found unappetizing - we would not have ordered this item if that ingredient had been disclosed. Salad was 99% plain mixed greens (the amount we received runs about $6.99 retail for organic mix at a specialty store). On the whole, most things seemed like we could have gotten similar-or-better quality items for a quarter of the price through Whole Foods. The plating for items was nothing special - again, supermarket take-away platters look about the same. It's really hard to justify the price we paid for the items we received. All in all, we found the service, food quality, and presentation to be unimpressive and overpriced, and the communication/delivery snafus made our event prep more stressful. Perhaps we caught them on an off day, but we were expecting more given the glowing Yelp reviews. Based on the experience we had, we'd recommend working with a different caterer.

We couldn't have asked for more. They showed up on time, were very professional and friendly with everyone. The food was cooked on site and was just awesome. They accommodated our request for vegetarian dishes so that everyone could participate and enjoy the food. The soy ginger chicken was so good! I think I enjoyed that the best. The ribs and tri-tip were delicious but that chicken! Everyone enjoyed all the dishes and the Bad Boyz Slaw was a hit! So glad we found them and hired them for our event. Great job!!

I walked over to a cool looking raider themed trailer. I walked inside and saw a few bar stools and a tv inside, so I called my boys over to hang out in the trailer . I thought man this is super cool we can have a few drinks and watch the morning game. We had some links and chicken cause that's all they had put out till later in the day. So we hung out having a good time and the morning show from 95.7 the game showed up. Took few pics, had couple of drinks with the morning show crew. Then we asked when the beef was coming out, they said in a while. There's like 60 people there and they put out a small tray of tri tip out on the table. By the time my crew gets to the tray it's all gone. By this time it's time to go in for the game. I told all my friends about this place cause atmosphere was cool. I decided to give it another shot the following home game. Got there early to get a good seat in the trailer. So we're hanging just a couple of us and right away I felt the bad vibe. I stepped out and a this dude tells me we going to close trailer down " we want some privacy" really dude there's a 100 people at this tailgate and you want privacy. Completely killed it for us. So we took off and went and hung out in the Westside clubhouse. Food is ok if you want to spend $25 to eat hot links and chicken. if you don't want Noone in your trailer then keep it at home!!!
