    Got my food in SVH farmers market. Got the brisket fries. Unfortunately quality of food and amount given for the price doesn't justify. Very little not much flavor filled with FAT brisket. Unsure if you can it that at all. Fries are stale and oily. You can get better fries and brisket in Stonies or Salinas bbq. This plays rips you off greatly.

    Super fresh veggie plate

    I found the Kleinfeldts on Yelp, took a leap of faith, and am so glad I did! I had them cater a surprise party and everything went so smoothly, from my first contact with Heather through the party to the cleanup at the end. It's truly a family business: not only was Heather (the owner) there for the setup, so was her delightful grandma and her two darling daughters. They all pitched in and got everything assembled and looking great. We started with cheese and cracker platters and veggies and dip. Then the hot entrees (meat) were delivered by Mr. K. ... Now what about the food? We had a garden salad, potato salad, garlic bread, chili beans, grilled veggies, ribs, tri-tip, chicken thighs, and portobello mushrooms for the non-meat eaters. Everyone loved the food! There was more than enough, so our guests took home ziplocs full. One word of caution on the chili...it was spicy! So order with that in mind. Heather boxed everything up, cleaned up, and literally left no trace. That took all the stress out of it for me! They even brought all of the utensils, plates, and cups, and most importantly...ice chests with ICE!! That saved me a trip to the store! All in all, the Kleinfeldts made our party a success, and I all highly recommend them for your party or large family gathering.

    Amazing Tri-tip, homemade cookies, great service. Grandma Carol is a total sweetheart! We also tried the clam chowders, excellent! We will be back!

    Garlic bread trip tip sandwich no bbq sauce.

    This hands down has the best tri tip sandwich in Monterey County. Absolutely delicious. Just look at the pictures and let your mouth water. This place never disappoints.

    Absolutely wonderful BBQ. Especially their tri-tip sandwich Generous portions & great taste. The grilled veggies are a great addition. Don't forget to ask for the special sauce.

    Tri tip slider, chicken teriyaki, and Mac and cheese

The food was so good and our guests raved about it even after the event. We opted for a multi course plated service and everything was delicious, presented so beautifully and made fresh local ingredients that truly wowed us all. I highly recommend their short ribs, baked havarti oysters, and do not pass on Bruces famous brownies! We absolutely loved how great the team was to work with as well. From the very beginning Bruce listened to the tastes/foods that were important to us and delivered on our special day. Jordan was a true hero handling our event rentals and making sure we had everything we needed for our bar service. Both were very responsive the entire time, and even hosted us for a tasting a few months prior to the event allowing us to sample what we were getting ourselves in to. I'd like to add that we also played a round of golf with them- these guys really love what they do and the people that they get to work with and it was really special for us to gain friends along the way. Thank you guys again for such a wonderful experience and we can't wait to work with you again soon!

With less than a week to secure someone, I contacted Elaine at Tres Bien who just happened to have a cancellation. She was so easy to work with and her expertise was key in ensuring we had a scrumptious menu that would accommodate seven adults and three kids. Leading up to the dinner event, she was in close contact with me to ensure all details were thought through. She arrived with her sous chef Brett and together they worked their magic with great efficiency.

I completely lucked out with securing her services for that same week (she had a reschedule which opened up her schedule). Leading up to our dinner, Elaine helped with all the things we needed to think of having on hand, as well as let us know what she was able to provide. She also provided her feedback on our initial choices, stating that it would've been too 'rich' in terms of flavors...the final menu was incredible: Salmon, beef loin, brussels, twice baked potatoes, grilled pear salad and three appetizers. She even provided some breaded chicken that the kids gobbled up and wanted 'seconds' (which almost NEVER happens). One of the kids (8-years old) was completely impressed that we brought the restaurant experience to us! All in all, Tres Bien provided an elevated experience that everyone enjoyed to the fullest.

I was coming from out of town so the arrangements and payment were made via phone. When I arrived to pick up the cakes at 1 (an hour late) she repeatedly kept asking if I had a receipt and I repeatedly kept telling her it was over the phone so I did not. Naturally I began to panic thinking she didn't have my order. She did nothing to asuade this until I flat out asked "Do you have them or not?". Finally she checked her documents and found the payment. She then took an extra payment from me (I was told prior this would happen so no big deal) but afterwards was told the cakes weren't ready and she would deliver them later. The ceremony was set to start in an hour. Not to mention we drove 1/2hr there on the day of our wedding just to be told our trip was pointless. No call or text telling us the cakes would be late. The cakes arrived during our ceremony so I was unable to see them prior to our guests. She had added flowers with pink trim and yellow daisies on the wedding cake. The flowers were suppose to be white. We ended up having to rip them off and use a centerpiece to fix it. The birthday cake was clearly the one she had still been working on and never finished. It was missing the entire topper I had asked for and chocolate chips were sprinkled on top instead like a last minute "gotta fill the space somehow" thought. After all this... I was never offered an apology or any type of compensation. Horrible experience!! Good luck should you choose to roll the dice.

I stumbled across a pop-up Casas de Humo BBQ (on Instagram @casasdehumobarbecue) which was going to be featured at a local bar in Monterey called Pearl Hour the night before we were heading down. so we changed our plans and headed to Monterey a day early (Thur 6/17), and man was it worth it. THE FOOD WAS AMAZING. Best of the best hands down. the tacos were fresh, the meat melted in your mouth and the salsa was amazing! The brioche bun on the sandwich was fresh; not soggy like other BBQ places serve. On Instagram I saw they make a bbq pork or beef sandwich with a jelly filled donut as the bun called the "Jelly D" which looks ambrosial (check it out yourself on their Instagram. it wasn't on the menu that night so we spotted one of the owners (family run business) and chit-chatted him up and he said they would be featuring the Jelly D Sat 6/19 starting at 12pm at the Joyce Wine Company at 1 E Carmel Valley Rd, Carmel, Ca. so today, we are heading there to dive into the JELLY D and whatever else they have on their menu, because trust me, we are tasting it all! Will update later. Update: the Jelly D was simply Ambrosial (word of the day). We ordered both the brisket jelly D and the pork Jelly D. both were light, flavorful and delicious. Once you pick it up it's hard to put down. The pairing of the Jelly D with Joyce wine company's Gamay Noir wine was perfect match. Casas de Humo Barbecue turned out to be the best adventure of our Monterey weekend getaway that took us to amazing places we may not have ventured without them. Their food was simply amazing and paired well with both places. Cant wait to see where Casas de Humo Barbecue takes us next. We shall see you soon.
