    Kim, Lois and team were phenomenal for our wedding catering!! From meeting them and getting a 5 star service treatment for our "tasting" to performing at our venue on wedding day. All of it blew us out of the water!!! They were professional, clean and the staff were all so sweet. They went above and beyond with their service. The food. Let me just stop.... Their food was so good our guest asked to go back for seconds. We received so many compliments the night of the night of the wedding and days after. We will definitely be working with them again in the future! Can not give enough thanks to this team. Ps. As bride and groom, we didn't get a chance to experience the apps due to taking pictures, but Kim provided us with pics and videos after so we felt like we didn't miss a beat. Thank you again Kim.

    I have been meaning to do this for awhile now. We got married on 10/14/23 at Gianelli Vineyards in Jamestown and we used Sierra Smoke & BBQ. We had previously been to a wedding that they had catered for and I told my husband (boyfriend at the time) we need them to cater our wedding when it happens! One of the first calls we made after the engagement was to Kim to make sure we got on her books. Such a sweet and genuine lady. She was easy to contact and be in communication with through the entire process. She made sure our day turned out perfect! We had only compliments throughout the entire night about how wonderful, delicious and prepped all the food was. Many compliments on the presentation as well. To this day we still are getting compliments from our guests saying "That was the best "wedding" food we've had" I can't say I disagree! It was wonderful and their entire staff was great and kind to all of our guests. This company is 10/10. Her husband, Louis, had the big cooking barrel on site and that was also very neat to be up top at the Gianelli House getting ready and to see them cooking throughout the day. You two make an amazing couple and an even better duo for a business. Thank you so much again for catering our wedding. We hope to have you cater our next event somewhere down the line.

    Sierra Smoke BBQ catered my wedding at Camp Sylvester! Kim was so helpful and very kind in all of our communication. It was unseasonably snowy at our April wedding, and even with snow, everything was smooth. The food was delicious, and multiple guests commented on how great everything tasted! The service and staff were also wonderful and professional. I was so grateful we had leftovers that were bagged up and ready to take home. Thank you so much for making such great food!! I would highly recommend Kim and Louis!

    Sierra Smoke BBQ catered our wedding at Camp Sylvester in Pinecrest this October and Kim and Louis were great to work with! Leading up to the wedding, Kim was always available and willing to work with us, providing helpful input and suggestions, and went above and beyond to ensure our guests with dietary restrictions were as equally satisfied as everyone else. The food Sierra Smoke prepared was incredible. From the tri-tip to the red potatoes and vegetables, our guests loved everything, especially our non-California guests who have never had tri-tip before simply fell in love. The buffet was tastefully displayed and they even incorporated edible flowers and eucalyptus, which made it extra special. We didn't get to see the charcuterie board during the cocktail hour, however from what we heard, it was a hit! The staff was wonderful at the wedding and came prepared for anything. There's a reason Sierra Smoke is known as the best caterer in the Sonora area and we highly recommend them for anyone looking for delicious food, a great vendor, attentive service, and a good time. Thank you Sierra Smoke BBQ for providing excellent service and food for our special day!

    We just had a luncheon for our school program and Sierra Smoke was BY FAR thee best caterer I have ever worked with. Louis and Kim are a joy and very friendly. Their food is unbelievable!! The meat Chicken and pulled pork sliders) was very juicy and flavorful and the mac and cheese bar was to die for!!! Not to mention the corn bread, the salad and the homemade beans and coleslaw!!!! Everyone at our luncheon was taken back by the food and how delicious it was! They work so good and thorough (like ninjas) that we didn't even see or hear them clearing plates and cleaning up. They are an amazing team and fantastic caterers!!! I will definitely be using them again!!!!

    See all

    Some of the best food in Tuolumne County and with a few tweaks, could be even better. My husband…read moreand I are originally from the Bay Area and have enjoyed great restaurants all over the world, so we're picky. Compared to other restaurants in the area, including the casinos, I'd give it a 5, but compared to what The Branch is now versus what it could be, I give it a four. To start, we were seated next to a couple with a cranky, noisy toddler. It's a small space to begin with, so there was no place to move to. Not the fault of the restaurant, but it distracted from our experience. The seasonal menu is balanced and not too ambitious or pretentious. To start we both chose the root salad. It featured a nice mix of fresh and pickled vegetables, but my salad had way too many pickled red onions (which I don't care for) that weighed down the greens. The beet swoosh was delicious and I wish there were more beets in the salad. For mains, my husband selected the rendered duck breast and I opted for the short rib shepherd's pie. The duck gets high marks for being tender and flavorful, however it was slightly overcooked and the skin wasn't crispy. I suspect that it had been cooked sous vide in advance and then finished in a skillet prior to serving. Nothing wrong with that, but it was just past medium. My shepherd's pie featured nice fresh carrots and peas, fork-tender short rib and a too-generous blanket of silky, fluffy mashed potatoes. The sauce, unfortunately, seemed under-seasoned and the mashed potato topping wasn't browned (just piped on top). The dessert (dulce de leche cheesecake) was a bit disappointing. The strong spice level of the crust eclipsed the flavor of the filling. A couple bites were enough for me, but my husband finished the piece. One really picky point: the water glasses are mason jars. In my experience, they develop small chips in the rim with constant use. Sure enough, my glass had a tiny ding in the rim that I had to avoid. I would encourage the restaurant to ditch the cute-quaint jars in favor of tumblers. (And, yes, I did mention this to our server to pass along to management.) Service was attentive, friendly and not intrusive. Prices are in line with our expectations of a nice restaurant. We'll go back in few months to check out the new seasonal menu. Definitely worth a trip!

    This place was amazing. I had the smoked and fried pork belly, japenese egg plant tossed In a sweet…read moreand sour sauce over farro to die for.
