Fun, classy, and the moistest mouth-watering BBQ you'll likely sink your canines into 'fer miles around. We stumbled upon Keith's Sierra Smoker by accident - we were up at Grandpa's Cellar in Apple Hill. Had already eaten a disappointingly bland BBQ plate at the Jack Russell Brewery (liked their IPA though!). The guys at Keith's were so nice we ended up chatting with em - then we were offered some tasty samples and were blown away by the tenderness, juiciness and flavor! Apparently they marinate their tri-tip for two days, and it really shows up when it hits your taste buds. Even though we'd just eaten BBQ for lunch, we decided to order a plate to go. $10 got us a container brimming with their apple- and cherry-wood smoked meats, homemade beans (oh yeah) and macaroni salad. I'm not really a fan of mac salad, but their house made version was light and tasty, with nice crunchy pieces of celery. Apparently, they're based in Placerville and they do catering jobs. So, the south may have lost the war, but Keith's Sierra Smoker southern style BBQ has won us over!

We hired Aloha Dining, Chef Kevin, to cater our son's graduation party. Chef Kevin did an amazing…read morejob!! He was swift to set up, cook, clean up and tear down. His set up was lovely and he has several colors to choose from to fit your theme. Chef Kevin was great at interacting with our guests, was friendly and funny. He fit right in with our event.

You will not regret your decision. (Only took one picture of the setup)

Do NOT get married here. The venue is very pretty, but organizationally, they are a complete mess…read more We were trapped into it with lofty promises and a deposit of half the whole cost. There was no communication between staff, poor communication between the management and us as clients, employees were unsure of their own roles and our provided "day of coordinator" had zero idea how to coordinate a wedding and I as the bride had to keep the day moving and tell her what to do next. (Even though we came up with a typical schedule together.) The management didn't know the size of the tables available at this location, and at our rehearsal the day before our wedding, we were told that we had to redo our whole seating chart because the tables were actually smaller than we knew. The food was brought up all the way from Sacramento in a U-haul truck, which was visible to the ceremony site during the ceremony. Half of our guests got sick afterwards. The food menus they gave to us to select catering from did not reflect what was actually available either. The chef took our selections down with a sticky note, and they lost that sticky note. They had to call us to confirm our choices. Choices we had to change AGAIN because the menu changed again. I even had to fight to have a decorated cake, and even then it ended up being extremely minimalist by design. More than once our wedding detail consultation dates had to be changed in favor of weddings that were much larger than our smaller event. They basically left our event planning to the very last minute. 2 months in advance. We spent $500 on liquor and sodas for people who didn't care for our pre-fabricated signature drinks (old fashioned's and French 75's) but the venue provided bartender never even touched those supplies. Instead, he opened up all of our red wine bottles at once, giving no thought for guest demand. We had to throw out half of the untouched wine bottles at the end of the night. Our guests had ZERO idea that there were more drink options. Please save yourselves and get married somewhere else. We are haunted by this experience.

Sue and her team at Sierra Banquet Center are fantastic!…read more We had my dads retirement celebration at Sierra Banquet Center just after the new year and it was such a fun evening! I had a few ideas of how I wanted the night to go and Sue helped to make that possible at her gorgeous log cabin venue. I had quite a few things to set up and Sue allowed us in early to take care of the setup so we weren't rushing and stressed right before the event. The holiday decor was transformed from Christmas trees to classy and elegant whites and golds for my event colors/theme. Everything was beautiful and the tri-tip buffet was delicious!! I would love to have another event at the Sierra Banquet Center! Thank you Sue (and your team) for all that you did to make my dads celebration so memorable!

We used Event Advantage for both catering and DJ services for our wedding at The Heirloom Inn and…read moreit was perfect! The Food: 10/10 It all started with our tasting. Louis was so professional and clearly passionate about the menu. He listened to exactly what we wanted and even accommodated a last-minute addition for a small kids' menu option. On the wedding day, the food was spectacular. Our guests are still raving about the scalloped potatoes--they were a massive hit! Everything was fresh, delicious, and served exactly as planned. The DJ & Atmosphere: Flawless Execution Louis didn't just provide the food; he also handled the DJ services himself. Every cue was perfect. He cut our first dance song exactly where we had planned it, making the moment feel effortless. During the cocktail hour and the downtime before dinner, he played the perfect mix to keep the mood right. He even handled excusing the tables for dinner, keeping the crowd's energy up and the evening moving smoothly. When the dance floor opened, Louis actually mixed the music himself. He didn't just hit play on a playlist; he kept the energy high and the dance floor packed until the very end of the night. Louis is a true professional who wears many hats and wears them all perfectly. He made our day stress-free and absolutely magical. We highly recommend Louis and his staff to anyone looking for top-tier service. Thank you for making our wedding perfect!

We were never confused about the pricing structure or what was provided. They were on time & had everything prepped / on-site so that there was a seamless transition between our ceremony & reception.

We loved the music and the photobooth they provided was a huge hit with our guests. Overall, we highly recommend Event Advantage for any couple looking for a DJ that will make their day truly special.

Let me start off by saying that we hired Crisp Catering for a Holiday party the week before last…read more Joe at Crisp Catering is lovely and is a great with communication! I spoke to him several times over the course of a month or so and he was always very pleasant and patient. I did a walkthrough a couple of days before the party with the catering captain that went very well, but when this person arrived on site for the party on Friday, her conduct when she arrived was concerning. She was very unprofessional and caused unnecessary disruption in the lobby of our building - the rest of her Team were wonderful and did a great job. Another issue was food presentation, it was not at all what we anticipated based off of conversation or website photos. The assortment of desserts we ordered we served on very used cookie baking sheets for example (see photos). Food labels were also not provided so attendees could not easily identify items, including vegetarian and gluten-free options. The service also felt rushed and somewhat disorganized, despite the catering team arriving early for setup and being asked to be setup at a specific time. Overall, the food was just okay, but nothing stood out over the rest - we ordered heavy appetizers like the Cranberry Chili Meatballs, Mini Beef Wellingtons, Honey Garlic Chicken Skewers, Italian Shrimp, Mini Falafel with Spiced Hummus, Turkey Sliders and Tomato Mozzarella Arancini plus a assortment of different desserts as mentioned above. Maybe it was just a bad day, I know that catering companies are very busy especially during the holidays, but I don't think we will be hiring them again unfortunately.

Talk of the block- literally. All of our neighbors are still talking about the food from our party…read moredays later. We had people coming over the morning after asking for seconds. The meatballs were my personal favorite- the sauce is unique and there's just the slightest spice to them at the end- incredible. The bacon Mac and cheese is to die for. The slider bar was a super nice addition and a hit with all of the guests getting to build their own and choosing between thinly sliced tri tip or what should be famous pulled pork (it's SO good). They even provided a donut wall and the donuts. Communication was excellent, pricing reasonable and the food spoke for itself. They were on time for set up and helped us have a successful party. We are proud to support local businesses, and will definitely hire T Bones again!
