Native Catering catered our wedding cocktail hour and reception in early June. We knew we didn't want an ordinary wedding caterer (we wanted grilled meats, locally sourced seasonal veggies) and so found Native Catering while searching through many Bay Area caterers. Since the first interaction with Wyatt over the phone and explaining what we wanted, to our private tasting, to the many, many e-mail exchanges and iterations of our menu, Wyatt was always incredibly patient and transparent throughout the whole process. We were able to keep to our budget which was surprising because the quality of everything was top-notch. Cocktail hour - Wyatt accommodated our wish for a raw oyster bar by providing it himself! He found shuckers, housemade 3 sauces and sourced Miyagi oysters. We also had some of the BLT bites and fig crisps, which I luckily got to try during the day of, and those went so quickly! All the guests were raving about them. Dinner - We had a family style meal starting with a salad with grilled stone fruits (summer fruits + bbq!) with the huli-huli chicken (flavorful and moist), smoked potatoes, and Wyatt created an off-menu charred summer corn salad with cherry tomatoes, farro and a mojo verde salad that all our guests told us was amazing. Service - As I mentioned, Wyatt was patient with us through the entire planning process and basically held our hand through figuring out all the rentals, doing a site walk through at a venue that has only held a few weddings before ours, and walking through the timeline to ensure everything went smoothly. His staff during the day of were all professional and friendly (the bartenders were a huge hit!) and there were little touches that made the event beautiful like the coffee/tea table and the aprons the oyster shuckers wore. We are so glad we went with Native Catering for our wedding - we will definitely be back for any other events we need catered - and highly recommend Wyatt and his team for anyone else's big day! read more

Wyatt was so easy to work with! Through phone or email he was super patient with us. We knew roughly what we wanted: delicious melt in your mouth BBQ for our beachy picnic wedding. And he delivered. From the salad, grilled corn, and homemade pickles to the beans, Mac n cheese, sauces!, tender shredded pork and brisket he cut on the spot was superb. My family couldn't stop talking about it! At the end Wyatt packed up leftovers for us to take and we've been enjoying it since we just got married this past weekend. It was a pleasure to work with him and I highly recommend Native Catering since it was delicious warm up your soul kind of food and such a crowd pleaser. read more

Wyatt and his team were AMAZING! The food was delicious and everything was made from scratch -- the pickles, sauces, etc. It was a perfect party because it felt interactive...we got to watch them carve the pig and people loved it. They fed 150 people no problem! We changed the number of people attending many times and Wyatt was very accommodating until the last minute. I would hire Wyatt and his team for a pig roast any day. read more

We tasked Wyatt and his team with the unenviable job of preparing hot passed apps, three proteins (including a whole 100 pound pig!), and four sides, for over 200 people at a venue with no electricity or running water. Not only was he kind and easy to work with, but he and his staff were incredibly professional. As our guests arrived the air was perfumed with grilling meats, which I loved. They presented a stunning buffet. Dozens of people commented that it was some of the best food they had ever eaten, not just at a wedding, but in general! Every time I've seen my uncle since he brags about getting the cheek of the pig, it was that good. I would HIGHLY recommend Native Catering to anyone looking for top notch food prepared on site by talented chefs. Thanks Wyatt for making our special day even more special! read more

Wyatt and his team at Native Catering were great to work with for our wedding on 5/20. He was professional, responsive, personable, and understanding during our meetings and requests. Wyatt also assured us when some of our guests had dietary restrictions that he would be able to heed the request. His team, while I didn't meet them, really pulled through and made everything turn out amazing! Our guests commented to us that they loved and enjoyed the food they provided during the event -- I noticed most, if not all, of the food has been happily eaten! We're very happy we went with Native Catering for our wedding and couldn't have asked for anything better for ourselves and our guests! I would definitely recommend Wyatt and his team for your next big event! read more

Native Catering provided food for a large (100+ person) cookout on my wedding weekend. Their food ended up stealing the show! Wyatt and his team spent 7 hours smoking a pig on-site and man was this worth it. Multiple people commented that this was the best pig and bbq they had ever had. No detail was forgotten with the Native team. They set up a beautiful display, had outstanding side dishes, and were the life of the party. I can't wait for my next large event because Native Catering will be there. Can't recommend them enough! read more

After a long search for the perfect food for our wedding, we ran into Native Catering SF. My now husband and I knew we wanted something out of the ordinary wedding fare. As soon as I saw the menu and food offerings Native Catering had, I knew I had to inquire. Wyatt was such a pleasure to work with. He was very patient with us and listened to all our needs. He also gave us great recommendations on what was good for each season, serving styles, and just the right amount to feed our guests. We went through a long process with him, making multiple changes on our invoice and he continued to be patient and professional throughout the whole process. We had our tasting quite a long way before the wedding, but as soon as we tasted the food, we knew Native Catering was the one we wanted for our wedding. The wedding day came and we had a lovely family style dinner with 140 guests and a brisket carving station. Along with the AMAZING (best I've ever had) brisket, we had the most tender, juicy huli huli chicken, a beautiful fall salad, house made pickles, and mixed seasonal veggies. Our wedding was on November 3, 2017 and our guests have raved about the food over and over again til this day. The service and staff was also amazing and extremely professional. Mine and my husband's biggest regret was not eating enough. All the anxiety, excitement and things going on during the wedding took its toll on us, but we know for a fact that we will definitely order from Native Catering again whether its for a party or just for a small gathering at home. Thank you Wyatt and team for everything. Our wedding, and most definitely the food, is something we will never forget! read more

Chef Wyatt and team earned a "standing O" for making our celebration of life (35-40 guests) truly special. From pre-planning to set-up to prep and service, Wyatt, his team, and his culinary offerings were nothing short of stellar. Despite his busy schedule, Wyatt was very responsive, very collaborative on the menu selection, and a breeze to work with. Apps included delicious pulled pork sliders, amazing fig crisps with goat cheese (and I don't even like goat cheese), and divine spinach/artichoke-style dips. For the mains, smoked brisket and perfectly grilled salmon coupled with fab baked beans, a genius-level apple cilantro slaw, potato salad, and chopped salad. As a devotee of true Central Texas BBQ, Wyatt's smoked brisket is legit; superb, actually. Everything was freshly prepared and ridiculously good, and much loved by all of our guests. Made for excellent leftovers that evening as well. Cannot recommend Native SF enough. read more

We had an OUT-OF-THIS-WORLD experience working with Native Catering for our company holiday party. They whole roasted a gorgeous Sonoma pig for us in our courtyard for 7 hours and then served it up to our guests along with Ono Mac Salad and slaw. Wyatt and Luis were wonderful to have on site with us for the day and the food was so delicious our guests can't stop talking about it. Our party was for Event Industry colleagues and friends - lots of caterers, cooks and serious eaters and they all loved Native Catering's Finger lickin good food. They were also organized, great clean up and a professional operation. Very low impact on our site because they have it totally dialed. We are already talking about bringing Native Catering back for next year's party! read more

I found Native Catering on Yelp. Based on the positive reviews, I took a chance and hired them for our company picnic. The event was at Rock Wall Wine Co and we had over 60 attendees. Wyatt and his team were amazing and the food was incredible. The presentation and quality of the food was 5 stars. Wyatt listened to what I wanted and put together the menu that was above and beyond my expectations. The ultimate recommendation came from the attendees who raved about the food and the crew. I would highly recommend Native Catering. read more

I am a little late posting this review but I can't say anything but great things about Native Catering's food and service. We recently hired Native Catering for our small wedding in San Francisco. All of the food was so amazing and everyone commented on how delicious it was. The staff was super friendly to our guests and went above and beyond. I can't recommend Native Catering enough! read more

These guys are absolute pros! Some of the best BBQ I've ever had, Wyatt and his team went above and beyond for our Anniversary party. Personable, professional and some darn good food! Can't say enough good things about Native Catering, we will be using them again for future party's! read more

Wyatt is the best! He's personable, flexible, and his food kicks butt. He's known for his delicious BBQ and sliders but don't underestimate everything else he offers. Not to miss: Lamb meatballs Chicken pot pie balls Spring veggie crisps Mini BLTs Watermelon Salad Apple Cilantro Cole Slaw Native is the best! read more

I was a guest at friends wedding. I was expecting the usual over cooked chicken or fish. You know typical wedding fair. Boy was i wrong! You know how they say you eat with your eyes first? Well Natives presentation of food was absolutely beautiful! Chicken pie bites, Mini Mac N' cheese bites. Some of my favorite comfort food presented in a elegant but still incredibly delicious way. Don't get me started on the bbq! Pork cooked to perfection! Still thinking about it. And I cannot forget to mention the hand crafted cocktails! Fresh herbs and fruits infused into the beverages. They local/seasonal fair. I'm going to be planning a birthday celebration for my husbands big 4-0. I absolutely am going to call Native Catering. This is for the person who loves thoughtful, delicious Real food. read more

Wyatt and his team did an outstanding job catering our wedding. We had 130 guests, and the team did such a great job of creating a fun and interactive experience. The food was delicious, and they did a wonderful job of setting up, serving, and breaking down dinner in an extremely smooth and organized fashion. Native catering was such a pleasure to work with - Thank you! read more

Impressed... Haven't done a review in awhile but felt obligated to return the love after the experience I had. My wife and I recently went to a party that these guys catered. I remember eating probably the best sliders of my life. That is really the main reason I am posting this review. The Mac and cheese bites were really good too. As good as the food was, the staff was equally friendly; approachable but professional. Definitely the best part of the party. Thanks guys... Made my night. read more

Native catered a Chamber of Commerce event I attended last night in Half Moon Bay. I was disappointed that we weren't using a local Coastside caterer. Then I tasted the Panko crusted Chicken Pot Pie balls/ bites. Yummers!!! In addition, they have a very cool business card. I'll upload a photo. read more

Working with Wyatt and staff was a breeze. They were easy to communicate and work with, were at the location on time, professional and super helpful during the entire process. My team- The Oculus Hardware Engineering team offsite was at Mavericks Point in Half Moon Bay. In addition to handling the catering and table set- up with decor for me, they even took care of the permit so we could reserve the spot on the beach for 4 hours. The food was top notch, and my team could not stop talking about how good it was- huge hit! They even took professional photos for us, and I can't wait to see how it turned out. Thanks Wyatt for such a successful and great event! read more

Native catered our backyard engagement party, and it was anything but basic. The BBQ that Wyatt and crew prepared is quite possibly the best I've ever had. In addition to catering, I hope Native opens up a restaurant someday -- we'd be there all the time. I'd HIGHLY recommend the beef brisket and the pulled pork -- both were juicy and melt-in-your-mouth good. We kicked things off with the Cast Iron Artichoke Dip - Roasted Garlic/Pepper mix -- hearty portions that kept everyone's hunger at bay while we sipped on our cocktails. The team is masterful at timing things just right, which is super hard to do. The food was always at perfect temp, a drink always in hand, and everyone was having a great time. Native Catering is perfect for all kinds of in-door and out-door events -- I'm already trying to figure out the next time we can have them. They'd be the top choice for our outdoor wedding next June, but unfortunately we're limited to a vendors list. If you're in between a few catering options for your event, just stop it already. Go Native! read more

Wyatt and his staff at Native Catering helped me immensely to host a ~100 person office party. I reserved space at Golden Gate Park and Wyatt pretty much did the rest, from walking the space with me to ordering rental chairs and tables. The Cortland coworking space has a really nice tasting area, and the samples Wyatt provided easily swayed us to put him on the short list of choices! The smoked brisket is freaking amazing and was a huge hit, we actually went back for seconds and thirds and ate everything. The chicken was good but paled in comparison to the whole brisket including burnt tips, lean and fatty bits, you get the picture. The sides provided were excellent and provided enough "organic and hip" to satisfy our executive staffers and foodies. The service was excellent from all of the catering staff and they made me look good as the host. Native will host events from about 30 people and up. Email and phone calls worked well for communication. Tasting available which is reimbursable upon placing deposit for the actual event. Thank you read more

We hired Native Catering SF for our wedding cocktail hour, reception dinner, full bar and late night munchies catering. Most of our wedding guests are "foodies" and the pressure was on to provide a memorable and delicious culinary experience... Native Catering SF pulled it off perfectly!!!! From the first info meeting with Native Catering SF we were pleased with their excitement and creative ideas when walking us through what to expect. They provided a special tasting where we made sure we liked the dishes we picked as well as confirmed the signature drinks they came up with fit our personal style. Leading up to our big day Native Catering SF worked with us to help coordinate with other vendors so we would be sure to have all that we would need and not over spend. They even came to our wedding site (which was our home) to help figure out how to best layout the event. The day of the wedding they used our kitchen and home as the prep area and then were serving in an outdoor setting to 150 guests. We were happy that we could trust this company in our home and on our property to take care of it as we would. As mentioned in the Mississippi Magazine bridal addition: "Following the ceremony, shuttles escorted the guests to the outdoor cocktail hour, complete with the couple's signature drinks, Jakarita and Smoking Barrel along with a full bar of beverages on Native Catering SF's signature burl bar. Hors d'oeuvres included decadent Salmon Croquette, Calvados Marinated Fig Crisp, and Beef Brisket Sliders, as well as a buffet of Grilled Organic Veggies, Cheese, and Fruit Platters. The celebration continued as the guests were welcomed into the large white tent adorned with white string lights overhead and rows of harvest tables. Native Catering SF designed an organic, locally grown, gourmet meal served after the dinner prayer. Guests were served a bright Watermelon Salad, then invited to a buffet of mouthwatering Grilled Flank Steak, Fire Grilled Chicken, and Vegan Ratatouille. As a late night treat, guests were surprised with tasty Carne Asada and Chicken Tacos." All the visions we had were delivered on point. And any hiccups that may have come up along the way were handled seamlessly and without disturbance to the wedding fun. Not only was it lovely to actually enjoy the meal on our wedding day, but to also hear all the compliments later about how much the guests enjoyed the food. We got letters and calls raving about it being organic and so fresh, asking for the signature drink recipes, and thanking us for the tasty late night food. Every couple has different opinions on what is most important at a wedding, but if you, like us, want your "foodie" guests to have a memorable culinary experience you must hire Native Catering SF. read more

WOW! I had an annual client party yesterday and my only regret was not having tons of Wyatt's business cards to hand out. I can't say enough about Native Catering...the experience was a delight from start to finish! Wyatt helped plan a menu to go with our blue grass theme and worked with me to do it on a reasonable budget. Everything was delicious-pork sliders with Wyatt's "secret sauce", mini chicken pie balls, a grilled vegetable platter that was gobbled down by meat-eaters and vegetarians alike, apple cilantro cole slaw, empanadas and scrumptious seasonal fruits. His crew was lovely.....they were prompt, accommodating and left our home absolutely spotless! They were so nice and guests commented about how well they were taken care of. .......I need to calendar for next year to make sure that Wyatt and his team will come back again. read more

Wyatt + Native Catering were great to work with. I contacted them for a holiday party and Wyatt made the process quick and simple. The chicken pot pie balls were a hit and I doubted him with his suggested quantities but in the end was really glad I listened to him! I would definitely use them again. They were very accommodating and helpful. read more

My encounter with Native Catering SF was at the Half Moon Bay Fish and Fleet Festival, where they had a rather unfavorable spot next to the food trucks. I only noticed them because I walked by just as some BBQ leg quarters were being turned on the grill and the sizzle and aroma grabbed my attention. I ordered what was called "Princeton Fish Special" but would have more accurately christened "really yummy fish pozole" - the menu description made it sound like a platter but it came in a piping hot little bowl. As a huge sucker for pozole, I was delighted. Had it been a cold day this would have been a hit - the broth was so flavorful - you could taste the hours of simmering it had undergone. Local squid and rock cod were the perfect addition (though the cod was a tad overcooked), preserved lemons added brightness and complexity, and the iacopi beans added nice texture. It was probably one of the most unique offerings at this event honoring the glory of locally caught fresh seafood, where most other vendors offered some variant of fish tacos and plates. The chef also seemed like someone who was very passionate about the food, which is always nice to see. The barbecue also looked crazy legit but at an event like this I had to go for the seafood. Also major props to them for using wood/bamboo utensils - I'd gladly pay any premium for these. People who think compostable plastics are doing anything to make a dent in our plastic dependency is kidding themselves. read more

I've seen the love that Wyatt puts into preparing his food first-hand. He is appropriately particular about what goes into each item on the menu. When it comes to food, he's quick to point out what's not good, what's good, and why it's good; and you'll find yourself nodding and chewing along in agreement. Native Catering's smoked pork and brisket receive a lot of time and love. Wyatt was very forthwith in explaining how he smokes a pork butt with just the right combinations of wood, heat, and mouth-watering rub. Upon tasting, you could tell he rubbed that butt to perfection. I still remember being at the party when someone told me there would be chicken pot pie bites - I couldn't wrap my head around what that combination of words meant. It was simply too good to be true. But then I bit into a hot, fresh ball of gooey pie and was rewarded with a steaming bit of happiness. I thought for a moment that I was in Valhalla. Love these guys. read more

We had Wyatt cater our wedding at Memorial Park this past October, and it was great. The food was simple, to fit our our wedding and budget, yet gourmet enough for our families and more particular guests. We had the BBQ chicken, brisket, baked beans and salad. People loved it, especially the brisket and baked beans. Having him and his helper there was also perfect, they ended up knowing a bunch of our guests and it added to the casual friendly feeling of our wedding. Also I really appreciate that he put up with the back and forth emails where I kept changing my mind and requesting updated estimates. I never hired a career before and I was pleasantly surprised. read more

Wyatt and his team knocked it out of the park for our wedding. Food really mattered to us on our big day and we were really happy we went with Wyatt and trusted his advice and input. He was also very flexible, taking all of our menu wishes and making it happen. We always wanted an oyster bar for appetizers and he set up an awesome one that was a huge hit. The other standouts were the fig crisps, sausages, squash, pulled pork, potato salad, and really amazing brisket. He also brought his experience and vision to the setup and made it all look very cool and fun. He's a cool person and someone we were happy to have spend time with us at our wedding. We're still getting compliments on the food over a month after our wedding. read more

It was the best brisket I've ever had. They catered a wedding I attended and it was amazing.

For my 40th birthday I wanted to celebrate in style and splurge on having my party food catered. I share my work space with Wyatt and have been eyeing his beautiful smoked meat platters for some time now. I ordered the Brisket, the baked beans and the apple coleslaw salad. It was all fabulous and everyone was raving at how delicious everything tasted. read more

Absolutely amazing! We just had Native Catering out at our reception. They knocked it out of the park. Wyatt and his staff made the whole thing very easy. Both the food and the service were great. If I could give them more than 5 stars I would. read more

Went to an event this past weekend and got to experience Wyatt's BBQ menu - OMG. It was amazing! The beef brisket, the pulled pork, the chicken thighs, the baked beans - everything had it's own special sauce and seasonings that were strong flavors but not too overwhelming. I'm already thinking of what party I can plan so I can have Wyatt cater it! read more

Wyatt catered our harvest party for Attune Wines and they did an amazing job. He was easy to work with and help plan, very professional, great cost, and most importantly amazing food. He went out of his way to make sure all the guests had a great time and enjoyed the cooking and whole pig carving process.He definitely went the extra mile on everything I would highly recommend that anyone wanting to throw a large event or BBQ work with him to make your event super special. read more

Civic Technologies, Inc hired Native and worked with Wyatt. The food was tremendously delicious. The service was impeccable, and the overall our experience was lovely. If you're looking to host a party, Native is your catering company! read more

This is my first review and I'm only here because I want to share my awesome experience with Native Catering. We hired them to provide food and drink for our July wedding and it was a great decision! Customer Service: From the start, Wyatt was very kind and took care to keep us calm and reassured during the hectic process of planning a wedding. We spent quite a bit of time emailing and calling and he made himself available to talk whenever we needed. He consulted with us on just about every meaningful decision and helped us to understand how each of our options would affect budget, timing, and any other concerns that arose. I also really appreciated that he was transparent about costs and did his best to help us find ways to save money. Food: We've all had wedding food that ends up tasting pretty bland. In fact, I would describe most wedding fare I've eaten as "food" or "edible," but I am happy to share that Native provided us with some awesome barbecue! We had pulled pork sliders, veggie sliders, and mac n' cheese bites during our cocktail hour and all three were a big hit. I especially loved the pulled pork (even reheated the day after). For dinner we had tender, rich brisket and flavorful, moist huli huli chicken for entrees. The sauces were great and made the dishes stand out with color and flavor. Our vegetarian guests also had some options with hearty grilled farmers market veggies. I am not a big veggie guy and generally avoid zucchini at all costs, but the veggies (zucchini included) were delicious and I'm sad I didn't put more on my plate when I had the chance. Our dinner was rounded out with some tasty smoked marble potatoes. Drinks: We asked Wyatt to help us create some mezcal and tequila cocktails for our event and both were really great. He worked with us, took our suggestions and put together a spicy paloma with jalapeno as well as a 1/2 mezcal, 1/2 tequila paloma. Feel free to get creative! Event Service: The Native team were friendly, organized, and prepared on the day of our event. I received no complaints from any guests and even my mother was pleased at the way things were taken care of. Cost: Each event is different but we all know nothing in SF is cheap. What my wife and I discovered is that most caterers seem to find out your budget and then submit a proposal that barely fits or exceeds what you are willing to pay. Enter Native Catering, who came in significantly under our target! Even with the savings, nothing about our event felt cheap. Overall, my wife and I were very happy we chose Native Catering to take care of us at our wedding. Wyatt is a great guy and helped make our wedding beautiful, tasty, and well organized. read more

Wyatt is the BEST! This is the second year in a row I have used them to cater our annual company picnic and BBQ. Wyatt and his team are superior. Everything was amazing! Just like last time my co-workers were oooo-ing and ahhh-ing over the mouthwatering tastes Wyatt cooked up. I highly recommend Wyatt if you are looking for a caterer that delivers consistent quality, is pleasant to work with, and will make your event effortless. Formally known as Season Event Catering, if you aren't convinced with this review see link for my review from last year http://www.yelp.com/biz/season-event-company-san-francisco?hrid=BI8LHDLjn8m7lnbjy7hpEw) read more

Wyatt and his team are Amazing !!!!! I have used them over the years for several events and I am always so pleased with every detail. His food is local and seasonal, staff friendly and knowledgable. They even do whole animal BBQ !!! They can take care of all your needs for a perfect event and leave your guests happy and satisfied.. would recommend over and over again ! read more

Chef Wyatt and his catering team did an outstanding job with our wedding. They were able to provide an elegant California inspired bbq dinner to 150 guests flawlessly. Guests all summer have been complimenting on just how GOOD the food was at our reception. After the event they were very careful and thorough with cleanup. I had so much fun putting together the menu and speciality cocktails with wyatt for the wedding, he is so great. The day turned out truly amazing and I could not recommend Wyatt and native catering SF more highly. read more

Native Catering Hosts Another Fantastic Event! Native Catering hosted a BBQ on the beach a few weekends ago. Even though the weather rained on Friday evening and early Saturday Morning, it didn't stop Native Catering from producing a stellar event. His set up was very professional including, table and chairs with linens and wonderful flower arrangements. Combined with the ocean and the sand it was a great setting. Once again Wyatt's Beef Brisket was so tender and Smokey delicious, the Huli Huli Chicken BBQ'ed to perfection and the Gold Rush Smoked Pork ...so yummy! read more

There are many caterers in San Francisco, but very few that are true pros. My experience with Wyatt and his Native Catering team was nothing short of excellent! Their attention to detail and utmost professionalism far exceeded my expectations, which is no easy task. I look forward to working with them much more in the future. read more

Wyatt was a pleasure to work with. From planning the menu, working with our budget, being flexible with any requests, to execution of the event and delivery of quality food, him and his crew managed everything exceptionally. Not to mention how amazing the food quality was, the rustic representation and the barbecue techniques he demonstrated really impressed my clients attending the dinner as well as my colleagues and CEO! I would highly recommend Native Catering for your smallest happy hour to your largest dinner. Simply fantastic and I will be calling again for our next event! Major cudos!! read more
