This review is long overdue! We got married in September and 96H Brand Catering handled our wedding. From start to finish, the whole process was easy, organized, and stress-free. Krieg is warm, honest, and a true professional. I'll admit I was shocked by how good the food was at our tasting. The sweet whiskey chicken was my absolute favorite, but the sides and appetizers were just as good. He also helped us put together a menu that worked for every age group, which mattered a lot with our guest list. Our guests raved about the food all night. The strawberry lemonade was a big hit too, and it added so much to the whole evening. My only regret is that the day was so busy and chaotic that I wish I'd had more time to sit down and eat everything! Thank you, Krieg and team, for making our night so special. We couldn't recommend you more. read more

96H and Kreig were amazing to work with! Kreig and his team were able to create an amazing dinner for our 138 guests and vendors. My fiancé really wanted a Brie crostini for an appetizer and although this wasn't on Kreig's menu he made it happen. Our food was delicious and our wedding went off without a hitch! Our menu included: Meatballs, cheese and tomato skewers; and the Brie crostini. For dinner we had prime rib, herb chicken, pesto pasta, roasted potatoes, green beans, Caesar salad, and bread. Kreig made sure to have garlic and horseradish as well. We would definitely hire Kreig again! read more

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. read more

We recently hired Krieg of 96H Brand Catering to cater my 50th birthday celebration with 110 guests and once again, he exceeded all expectations. He was incredibly professional and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He got everything set up right on time. He even threw a couple of extra dishes in at no charge - above and beyond service! The food was absolutely top-notch flavorful, beautifully presented, and perfectly suited for the occasion. The prime rib was the star of the night - perfectly cooked, tender, and full of flavor. Guests are still talking about how amazing everything was! We first discovered Krieg when my son & daughter-in-law hired him to cater their wedding last year for over 200 guests. That experience was just as impressive, which is exactly why we knew we wanted him back for this milestone event. If you're looking for a caterer who consistently delivers exceptional food and service, Krieg is the one to call. I highly recommend him for any event, large or small. Thank you very much Krieg...you're the best! read more

I got engaged in Feb 2025 and decided to have my wedding August 2025 which put us on a time crunch to find a catering service. My wedding coordinator put me in touch with Kreig from 96H brand catering and let me TELL you him and his staff do not come to play they come to win. They completely went above and beyond our catering expectations. He was able to get us a halal menu which was very important for my family. We went in for a tasting and he had amazing dishes set up for us and listened carefully to our suggestions and taste preferences. For appetizers we had: stuffed mushrooms, ceviche, Hawaiian glazed meatballs, and teriyaki chicken skewers. All of which were so amazing and our guests THOROUGHLY ENJOYED. For dinner they provided us with: Cesar salad, prime rib, bbq chicken, Spanish rice, mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, roasted garlic, and horseradish. All of which were scrumptious. Last minute we had asked them if they could label foods that were gluten and dairy free which they were able to accommodate. Our guests enjoyed the wedding foods so much, people were piling it onto their plates! And we still had leftovers! They also provided us with butler service for the appetizers which impressed so many of our guests. They also provided us with a custom drink menu of mocktails with 6 options for our guests. THEY WERE SUCH A HIT! Misty did amazing curating those mocktails. All in all we were so pleased with Kreig and his entire staff. So if you're still thinking about booking with 96H Brand catering this is your sign to do it don't sleep on it! read more

11/10 Professional, reliable and responsive! 96H brand is my go to for all my events: birthdays, baby shower and even small gatherings. Everyone has been talking about the food and saying it's far superior to any food they've had at other parties. Everything was absolutely delicious. The Mac and Cheese is a cult favorite! One of my fav is the Whiskey Chicken and his Tri Tip is also phenomenal! I loved how Tawfick also provides instructions on re-heating the food to keep them from being dry (that's if you even have left overs). 96H Brand and Tawfick, You were a dream to work with. Till my next event. read more

96H Branding Catering did an amazing job catering our event. They offer an array of food options and the ordering process was quick and easy. Tawfick and his team were friendly and very accommodating. They even helped us set up the food and made sure everything was ready to go before guests arrived. Our guests enjoyed the high quality BBQ meats and side dishes, and most went back for seconds. We plan to use 96H Brand Catering in the future and recommend them to our family and friends. Thank You so much Tawfick and team for your kindness, generosity and making sure our event went without a hitch. read more

Our company has used them two years in a row for our Fall feast. Same excellent and on time quality both times. Turkey, ham, potatoes, gravy, stuffing, and asparagus. All delicious. read 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. read more

How can I write this review without my mouth watering! 10/10 would recommend and will come back for more. We ordered BBQ ribs, Mac & Cheese, Mushroom Alfredo, and mashed potato for my hubby & I first baby shower. Overall food was amazing and over all top high quality! & everyone tore it up and asking who cooked everything... 96H BRAND Catering team!! I can't thank Tawfick enough for coordinating with us and making sure we have the right amount of food to feed & enough utensils for almost 200 ppl. Everything was a hit!! read more

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!!! read more

We ordered from Kreuig for our football banquet and the food was phenomenal. The chicken was so tender. It fell off the bone. The food was very flavorful. He helped us set everything up and we had more than enough for our entire party and the pricing was very reasonable read more

As an event planner, a good caterer is essential for a successful event! Lucky for you, 96H Brand aren't just good, they're great! SO much goes into catering that folks don't realize. Pre-planning, timing, logistics, service, an eye for detail AND amazing food? These guys have it. They're food is awesome, but without their killer service and efficiency, it would be nothing. Having worked with Krieg and his team multiple times, I can say from experience: they know their stuff, love what they do, and are darn good chefs. Their on our preferred vendor list and we recommend them to any of our clients looking for catering. HIRE THEM! read more

96H Brand was super awesome to work with. They catered our wedding and did an amazing job. Everything was delicious and amazing. Their staff was super professional and friendly. Krieg was also very responsive to all questions over email. Also the bartenders they work with are 100000% awesome. Definitely recommend!! read more

I wasn't surprised to see so many amazing reviews of 96H Brand Catering - they're phenomenal! I've worked with Krieg on two events (one was my wedding and one was a work lunch) and both times the food and service have been on time, friendly, and the food is literally amazing (melt in your mouth prime rib!!) Great pricing, amazing service, fast response times - this is the caterer you don't believe can exist. But they do. Lucky us! read more

My girlfriend and I were glad that we found 96h. Kreig (owner) was nothing but polite and helpful for us, but not only that, all the food we had ordered was delicious! Herb chicken was flavorful and juicy, ribs w/ bbq sauce was tender, the Mac n cheese was the first thing to go, the mushroom Alfredo was delicious! Mashed potato's that's actually mashed with the skin left on, how it should be, delicious! The list goes on, for we had ordered to feed up to 150 people. Can't wait to order from him again and try new foods from him for sure. He delivers with ease and best part he's a local business for us. read more

Unreal how amazing the food is. We booked them for our wedding on Saturday and people keep messaging me asking who the caterer was. Krieg was nothing short of amazing with communication and quickly eased any doubts I had about food quantity. We had so much leftover. His employees were amazing and I could not believe how NICE everyone was. I cannot thank them enough. read more

I had a last minute catering request and 96H came through in a clutch! Excellent, friendly customer service with great communication and response. Guests enjoyed the tri-tip, whiskey chicken and BBQ sauce. They gave us more than enough portions. Will definitely use them again. read more

Used 96H for my wedding in Mill Valley in July 2022. Krieg was very helpful throughout the process, doing a tasting and staffing the event for a much lower price than many other caterers quoted me. My guests were very pleased with the food, and I was super pleased about the service. He also staffed bartending for the event and the team served late night snacks to help keep the party going. No complaints! Definitely recommend! read more

Too long; didn't read 96H is delicious, detail-oriented, professional, and reasonably priced. They catered our wedding, where the bar was high. That bar was not only met, but exceeded. Krieg (aka Tawfick) was responsive and professional throughout the process. Before: Krieg cooked us a sample meal 1 year prior to our event, complete with a whole prime rib for 3 people. We had numerous telephone calls to touch base. Krieg was flexible, and accommodated our many changes. Beyond addressing our concerns, he also foresaw obstacles that we didn't, and worked-in solutions to resolve them. These include meals for our vegan friends, and nuts on the side for those with allergies. Day of: 96H was prompt, and needed no guidance/direction from us, since they worked with the other vendors for their needs. The food was abundant, aesthetically pleasing and most importantly, delicious. I still have family members that rave about the hand-carved herb-roasted prime rib, complete with 3 different horseradish sauces. Bear in mind this is after the crab cakes, charcuterie, stuffed mushrooms, green salad... After: Krieg is STILL emailing us to wish us a happy anniversary. If that's not top-notch service, I'm not sure what is. We're looking for an excuse to throw a party, just so we can have them come cater for us again. Reserve now. read more

96H Brand catered my daughter's first birthday party and the food was delicious! All of our guest had great things to say and even took food home. The customer service was exceptional!

He was very kind and professional and I would definitely choose 96H Brand Catering again! read more

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. (I later learned 96H typically doesn't do gift certificates, so I thought it especially nice that they agreed in this instance.) The owner was so pleasant to work with, the food was delicious (and plentiful), and delivery was timely. I had not known of their existence before this generous gift from my colleagues, but now that I do, I'll definitely keep them in mind the next time I am catering an event! read more

If you are searching for a caterer your search ends here! Kreig and his team know BBQ! Our family reunion was a success and I can't thank Kreig enough. The ribs, tri-tip and mac and cheese were fan favorites! I can't wait to host another event just so 96H can cater read more

We had a party for 250 people at a jobsite in Richmond. Since he was in Pinole and had great Yelp reviews, we decided to use 96h Brand. We were thrilled with the service and fantastic food. Craig went above our expectations with the food, as prompt in his arrival and pricing was competitive. The food was excellent, the chicken went so fast and the pulled pork was so tender. Will definitely use 96H Brand for future parties. Thanks read more

After finding them on Yelp, we decided to hire 96H catering for our gender reveal bbq of 35 people. I can't say enough great things about them! Krieg was so accommodating and awesome to work with from day 1. The food was phenomenal, all our guests kept raving about it! And I was so worried that I didn't order enough, but on the contrary we are on day 3 of leftovers! Will definitely use them for our catered events in the future. Thanks again Krieg! read more

WOWOOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOWOW!!!! 5 stars all around for these guys! We just had our annual summer BBQ for our company. We had 400+ people attend and the catering was flawless. There was something for everyone (even all dietary restrictions included) and a wide variety of options. They were all super nice and handled all of their setup and breakdown with no supervision needed from me except to point them in the right direction. Excellent service Excellent food Excellent flavor Excellent everything! Thank you guys so much and I will be booking you again! read 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! read 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. The food arrived on time, fresh, and hot. Biggest hits were the grilled tri-tip, pulled pork, whiskey chicken, mac and cheese, mashed potatoes, and veggie skewers. 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. Thanks again, 96H, for giving us great food to celebrate a special day! read more

During COVID it's really hard to find someone that provides boxed food that isn't just sandwiches. We love sandwiches too, but we wanted something nicer as a holiday lunch, but we couldn't do it buffet style and 96H came through! I must say the food was excellent all the employees loved it and we did not get a negative comment at all!! We had the Prime rib, roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, veggies and stuffing. We will be a returning customer for sure or as my boss said, "this is great, keep their information for later." :) read more

I really appreciate the quality, selection and customer service of 96H Brand Catering! I've tried almost everything on the menu and loved it! I have been a repeat customer!!! read 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!!!! Don't spend your time searching- this is the only caterer you will ever need. read more
