OSS' ribs are hands down the most incredible, fall-off-the-bone, flavorful ribs I've ever had. They were the only BBQ spot we needed to try. Our interactions with Matt and his team were top-notch from the get-go. The quality of their service completely aligns with the incredible quality of their meats. Outstanding! We selected the brisket, chicken, ribs, mac & cheese, potato salad, baked beans, Asian salad, and cornbread for a large 100+ person outdoor event. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our friends have been talking about the food ever since. Be prepared to eat copious amounts of savory, tender meats and likely take home leftovers--their portions are generous! Communication was seamless, and Matt helped us select just the right menu. They set up and presented everything in an organized and appetizing fashion, were friendly and engaging while serving, and were quick and efficient with breakdown and cleanup. We are so happy we had the opportunity to work with Oakland Smoke Shack for our picnic. They truly helped make our event a success, and we would absolutely choose them again--gold stars all around!

They even gave them some free samples, to which my nephew said, "If I wasn't getting on a plane tomorrow, I would definitely have ordered something! So good!" The food was absolutely wonderful: rave comments from everyone at the party! They were arranged beautifully. Had many questions about where I had ordered from. Turns out one of our guests already has an order in with them for a family reunion coming up! The menu is extensive and interesting. I had a hard time deciding as it all looked so good. Everyone had their favorite; mine was the watermelon/cucumber/onion/mint salad! I WHOLE-HEARTEDLY RECOMMEND THEM for any function where you want delicious food at a reasonable price and the whole order handled professionally.

After experiencing another paella caterer here in the bay area which left me underwhelmed, I started researching and came across Mestizo Paella. From my first conversation with Angee, I knew I was in good hands. She was friendly, knowledgeable, attentive, and made the booking process so easy. We hired them for my husband's birthday party and WOW, they exceeded every expectation. They arrived on time, were organized and professional, and the food was phenomenal. We ordered tapas, three different paellas, and sangria, and every single dish was a hit with our guests. The garlic shrimp was unforgettable, the croquetas were perfectly crispy and cheesy, and the paellas were packed with flavor and generous portions of seafood and meats. The seafood paella especially had everyone going back for seconds and thirds! Even the sangria tasted authentic and refreshing. What made the experience even better was how warm and friendly Angee, Christian, and Oscar were with all of our guests. People are still talking about the food days later, and many even asked to take leftovers home! Thank you to the entire Mestizo Paella team for making our party such a success. I highly recommend them and will definitely book them again for future events!

Got to have an amazing Kamayan for our friends baby shower!…read more A very kind amazing couple whose Filipino/Hawaiian food is inspired by their parents! Appetizers Chicken Lumpia - Can't have a Filipino party. I could not stop picking at this lumpia. Palabok deviled eggs - I don't really eat Palabok and I don't really eat deviled eggs but again I couldn't stop eating this Main Dish - Just know I was the first one to finish my food from our friend group. Lechon pork Sisig - Amazing! Pickled onions was not something I ever thought of to add to sisig.... BBQ Chicken - Full of flavor just the way I expect Filipino BBQ to be. Dessert - Persimmon Babingka - again i do not eat persimmon but the way this was prepared, I wish they were closer to Los Angeles because I would order all the different Babingkas they make.

We were…read morelooking for an elevated experience and not your typical party tray food in chafing dishes from a restaurant. We did family style and the menu included: 2 Appetizers - Lumpia Shanghai and Palabok Deviled Eggs 1 Salad - Ginger Noodle Salad 2 Sides - Coconut ginger turmeric rice and roasted veggies 2 Mains - Salmon and Lechon Sisig 1 Dessert - Haupia Ube Pie The food was really good, and presentation was beautiful. I debated to get a cake but told myself not to. The Haupia Ube pie alone was perfect. I was supposed to pick up pizzas for the little kids but I didn't have time. I was worried about what my kids would eat, but surprisingly, my picky 5 year old and 3 year old ate the food and Ioved it. I had so many things to worry about, but I did not have to worry about the food. I thought about adding more food, but I didn't and I didn't need to. I didn't have to worry about replenishing the food because their team took care of it. I provided some platters and serving utensils because we have them, and they cleaned it all up. They packed up the left overs in my tupperware, and to-go tupperware for the guests. At the end of the night, my kitchen was clean. It was a huge relief to end the night with a clean kitchen. Also, I was amazed that we only had 1 trash bag at the end of the night, and I attribute it to having a set menu and no party tray food. Everything about the experience was 5 star! The food was great. The team is wonderful. No clean up!! I would totally do this again with them (and I'll order extra to have left overs =)).

My wife and I had well. fed. cater desserts at our January 2015 wedding. Alicia was very easy to…read morecoordinate with, and was able to suggest some ideas based on our input. We decided to go with a cupcake arrangement, and they were a big hit at our wedding! We chose Alicia because we wanted vegan food, and because we needed more guidance as to flavor ideas than we had gotten from other providers we'd contacted. Additionally, Alicia was able to handle drop-off and arranging a display, whereas other dessert options would require pickup. I was really happy to learn that Alicia sources cocoa according to Food Empowerment Project's recommendations to avoid slavery in the chocolate trade. I'm grateful that Alicia was aware of this issue, and that it is important to her as well. I anticipated that this constraint would require some negotiation and explanation, but it was completely painless. (For comparison, other businesses we contacted did not respond to our questions about whether this would be possible.) Working with Alicia was a pleasure, and her cupcakes were a huge hit at our wedding. The wedding was an expression of who we are as a couple, and the values we share. Alicia's cupcakes fit perfectly with our ideals -- delicious food that reflects a commitment to treating humans and animals alike with respect. Granted, that's a lot to read into cupcakes, but we really enjoyed them, as well as working with Alicia! Highly recommended!

We hired Alicia Smiley of well. fed. to create our wedding cakes. I had heard of Alicia's awesome…read morevegan baking skills through word of mouth, and our caterers also recommended her. She ended up baking several cakes for us in two delicious flavors: a triple citrus buttercream cake filled with orange, lemon, and lime curd, and a Brooklyn Blackout cake accented with raspberry coulis and fresh raspberries. Her execution was absolutely beautiful, and even more delectable. Her aquafaba buttercream is rich, fluffy, and not too sweet...the perfect melt-in-your-mouth combination (and I'm not even usually a fan of buttercream). Thanks, Alicia! She offered a very reasonably priced tasting, and payment for the final product was easy (50% upfront, 50% upon delivery). On the morning of the wedding, Alicia came on site to set up the desserts--we provided assorted cake stands, flowers, and succulents that she arranged charmingly. She is very warm, friendly, and a pleasure to interact with. The only minor drawback during our experience was that we ended up with lots of leftover cake (3+ of the 8 small cakes we had ordered). I had a hunch that we should order 6 cakes instead of 8 based on our guest count, and expressed this to her, but ultimately went with her higher estimate since we trusted her expertise. Don't get me wrong--it's a yummy problem to have (and better than not having enough), but still a somewhat costly one for our modest budget. I would still highly recommend working with Alicia, especially if you have a good idea of what flavors you like. You can try out some of her many creations at Very Vegan Sundays at SoMa StrEat Food Park, the Butcher's Son in Berkeley, and other various pop-ups around the Bay area (and drool over them on her Instagram feed).
