    Summer citrus salad and dinner roll P.C. Meg's Marvels Photography
    Pratiti M.

    My husband and I planned a very intimate wedding and reception on the Hidden Cove/Monastery beach in Carmel and we got our food delivered at the beach. Pacific Coast Catering was recommended to us by Kathee from Carmel Weddings, and we were so lucky to have them cater for our wedding reception. A.B. Introcaso was the sweetest person I have spoken to. Following a few email exchanges about available menu options, she called me and discussed my expectations, the venue, color themes and the settings in details. We wend over some personalized dishes like Tandoori chicken skewers (which very utterly delicious!) and a summer citrus salad with clementines, strawberries and roasted pecans (which was beyond amazing, as well)! She gave me very helpful suggestions for selecting a menu that goes with the beach theme and can taste delicious even when cold! Sh I wanted to get my own cutleries, glasses, plates and beverage. She helped me with ideas of how much space they would need, how to arrange them and keep them from flying off by strong ocean breeze! She also sent me list of wine-parings for the food and even reminded me to get ziplock bags to save the extra food. It was great working with her! She sent her team to set up the food table, which looked absolutely elegant! The food was so delicious, that each guest kept raving about it. The salad and the chicken was the top favorite! Outdoor weddings can be very challenging with Mother Nature being a bit unpredictable. But with the help of great vendors, it can be as magical as you dreamt it to be. A.B. was also so nice to coordinate with our wedding co-ordinator from Carmel Weddings, to make sure everything went smoothly. I highly recommend working with Pacific Coast Caterer. Their service is top notch!

    Buffet set up. All food that was delivered stayed warm and all dishes were presented beautifully.

    What amazing, friendly service! And the food....Delicious!! I hired Pacific Coast Catering for my sister and brother-in-law's Co-ed baby shower back in September. I rented a space at Toro Park in Salinas. We had about 100 people there and A.B. came up with a delicious menu. I wanted everything to be casual so I just had drop off service but A.B.'s version of drop-off far exceeded my expectations! She and her staff set everything up that they brought and even helped me set up the items that I brought and they were so happy to do it. They stayed for about 30 min to make sure that I felt comfortable with everything. They even had another catering event after mine. Everyone raved about the food and the amount of it! Don't worry, your guests will not go hungry with Pacific Coast Catering nor will they be disappointed...the stack of business cards A.B. left were gone once people saw their service and tasted the food. I ordered Bbq chicken, tritip with the yummiest mushroom reduction sauce (I was smart enough to put some sauce aside and freeze it at home for my hubby and I), warm, buttery garlic bread, citrus salad, amazing potato salad, and pulled pork sliders with coleslaw. JUST WOW!! Thank you A.B. and Staff for making my event so memorable.

    See all

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!

    The Crossroads BBQ - Two Meat Meal

    Okay, where do I begin?!?…read more This place is amazing! The pork ribs and brisket were delicious! They're full of flavor is don't swim on BBQ sauce like at other BBQ places I've been to. The service was fast and the girl behind the register had great product knowledge. I highly recommend and will come back again!

    I would give this BBQ joint a 3.5 score. The customer service was pretty good; Very nice, friendly,…read moreand welcoming. The reason I'm giving this place a 3.5 is strictly for the food. We ordered 2 plate combo with tri tip and brisket and 2 sides: Mac n cheese and fries. We also ordered the brisket sandwich with fries. We got fountain drinks and to our surprise, they had their own soda flavors! They had a vanilla , cherry, and another flavor that I can't recall. We tried the cherry soda and it wasn't my favorite but my husband enjoyed it. The food came out pretty quickly. The brisket was tender and had some good fat marbling however I found it to be dry and not moist. It also lacked flavor but the bbq sauce helped with flavoring. Unfortunately, the tri tip also lacked flavor and moistness. The Mac n cheese was okay but nothing to write home about. The star of the meal was the garlic bread! That was a nice surprise and it tasted really good. The fries were also nice and crispy and fresh. Overall, I think this is an average bbq place in terms of flavor. I would have liked the meat to taste smokier and seasoned as well as more juicy. This would suffice if you were craving a quick fast service style bbq place. Don't think I'd recommend or try this place again though.
