The only reason for the 4 star review is because of the poor planning at their pop up event. The food was fantastic! Just like when they had their restaurant open downtown for about the first 9 months. The poor planning for the pop up event I went to, led to them running out of food and struggling to fill orders that they had already taken. I have a solution, open a restaurant location back up that's not in the downtown area and get back to making that top notch BBQ everyday like you used to! read more

We just got married! Steins Catering was nothing short of amazing! Our meal was delicious (our guests raved) and their communication up to the event was outstanding. They hire hard-working, professional staff. They are all passionate about their craft and they are consummate professionals. Obviously, I could not recommend them more highly! read more

I'm so happy to have a good tri-tip sandwich this side of the grade! At first glance, the prices seem a bit high but for the quality and quantity of food you get it really is worth it. Tri-tip was so flavorful and tender, most slices were perfect temperature, a few a little over. The nachos are HUGE! Definitely could feed 2+ people. The salsa could use a little work but that will not deter us from coming back. It is an order at the counter and find your seat joint so very casual. It's a great addition to our downtown for sure! read more

Look no further than Brian and Nancy! We ordered their menu for 8 and I couldn't believe the amazing value and quality - the perfect local food for a weekend visiting Paso. They were also an absolute delight to work with and could not have been more helpful, friendly and accommodating. Will definitely be back! read more

We just had a wedding catered by Steins and a lunch the following day in a vineyard. Everything was wonderful and Nancy gives you such confidence that everything will go off well , especially after having to postpone the wedding from last year. I highly recommend using Steins for a wedding. read more

What a lovely family-owned business. The Stein's catered my best friend's wedding and it was awesome! I absolutely loved 'Nancy's Salad'. It was so yummy with a raspberry vinaigrette, caramelized nuts and feta. Omg so good!! Everyone was raving about the salmon too. Their family was so lovely. I eat mostly plant based and they went out of their way to help accommodate me at the brunch after the wedding by making me my own cheeseless pizza. They were so kind and accommodating and it was lovely chatting with them. I honestly want to eat that salad everyday. So good! read more

We had Stein's cater our June 2018 wedding in Paso Robles and it was amazing. We did a simple menu of tri-tip, apricot glazed chicken, salad, grilled veggies and mixed potatoes. People could not stop commenting on how good the food was! They were great to work with and got creative for us - they came up with a delicious bacon wrapped date, stuffed with an almond spiced with one of their signature spiced. So good! Thanks you Nancy & Brian! read more

The Stein's catered my wedding a couple weeks ago and were honestly the best thing that could have happened to me. They love what they do!! Genuinely care for their customers and go above and beyond. After having to fire my coordinator 10 days prior to the wedding, Nancy stepped in and became the guru I needed. She ran the day plus made the most amazing food. She even entertained my kids so I could dance the night away. Amazing company!!! I'll forever recommend them for any event! Thank you so much. Also, her "best of the best" list has amazing options for florist, linen, photographers and much more. I used her florist and can't put into words how amazing they were too. Absolutely stunning. MY DAY WAS PERFECT!! Thank you read more

Visiting family in Paso Robles. This place was suggested to us because it was new. Talk about out of control portions! This place is delicious, huge portions and they have Dr Pepper on tap. What else could you want??? I shared a four meat platter with my wife. We couldn't finish it. My son got the barbecue nachos with carna Asada. He couldn't finish it. My other son got the mac & cheese with fries. He couldn't finish it. My daughter got the chicken strips with Fries. She could finish. Guess what I had that night? Everybody is leftovers! Bravo to Stones barbecue! read more

Nancy was nice to begin with and we were excited about the possibility of using Stein's as we had their food at a friends wedding a couple of years back. However, once I told her that their price quote was out of our budget, the nice conversation we had going through email seemed to change. I informed her that we would be going with a taco man catering company and she was quick to inform me that a taco "truck" would not be able to handle our wedding and she was interested in trying to do a mexican buffet (which is what the taco man company will be doing). I informed her of the price quote that we received from the catering company and that is when she turned rude and insulting. I have attached her email response so you can see who you are considering working with. Please note that my venue is definitely not the most expensive in the area and like all brides and grooms, my fiancé and I have taken into full account the amount of traveling, time and gas that will be spent to attend. To suggest otherwise was completely disrespectful. Her snarky comments were uncalled for. We did end up going with a bbq catering company for our rehearsal dinner and do to the negative ending with this company, we gladly went with a competitor. read more

Nancy & Brian were so kind and wonderful to work with. They catered a 250+ person event for a bunch of our volunteers in the back of a church parking lot and all of the food (truly, every bite) was delicious! They brought everything needed for dinner and set it up beautifully. Nancy even brought themed napkins for the cutlery that matched our 'tailgate' theme. We are so grateful for Stein's BBQ & Catering! read more

Do not look anywhere else for professional delicious catering! Stein's provided buffet set up, beautifully done meats, sides & clean up. No mess, no fuss. Just enjoyment. read more

I ordered Stein's Friday night pick up dinner. An order of chicken Parmesan, meat balls, ravioli and sides was served to my family. The meal was delicious and plentiful. My two grandsons enjoyed dinner so much they started humming during dinner. read more

Good food comes from the heart. Stein's will put their heart and soul into your event and exceed all expectations. We hired Stein's to cater our wedding in May 2016 (sorry this is so overdue). We were looking for a more laid back, farm to table experience. They wowed us from the very beginning with an amazing complimentary tasting. They invited us and my husband's parents to a beautiful winery where they wined and dined us. The level of professionalism was apparent from the very beginning. Brian and Nancy Stein are for certain two of the nicest people I have ever met. Something about being around them just makes you feel at home and well cared for. They made it a very easy choice when choosing our caterer. Nancy was my wedding fairy godmother. I cannot thank her enough for her kindness. She also offers wedding coordinating services. She has so much experience and holds your hand through every step. She was my caterer, but helped me with almost every element! We kept in very close contact throughout the year and she treated me like a daughter of her own. I have so many emails back and forth with her. She wants nothing but the best for her clients and puts her whole heart into everything. She truly brought light to what can sometimes be a very daunting experience. The day of, everything was amazing. When we first arrived to the reception, I could see and smell the delicious tri-tip Brian was cooking outside. Our menu included tri-tip, ale basted chicken, roasted garlic mashed potatoes, grilled asparagus, a bread display and berry salad. We also had some vegan/vegetarian options for people who asked, such as eggplant parmesan and grilled portobellos. We had bacon wrapped dates, kielbasa, tomato/mozzarella skewers and bruschetta being passed at cocktail hour. I had one guest tell me she probably ate 20 bacon covered dates because they were so delicious. Everything was exceptional. Our guests were going back for seconds and thirds at the buffet! They told us it was the best wedding food they ever had, and we would have to agree. Stein's also provided us water service which was a nice touch. We had many compliments on the beautiful beverage display with iced tea, lemonade and water. They also cleared the tables after dinner service and cleaned all the plates/utensils. Nancy came up to us at dinner service and made sure we were taken care of before anyone. Brides and grooms not eating at their wedding is something that will never happen in Nancy's care! She plated our salads and piled our plates with a bit of everything. She even packs you a to go portion and any leftovers you have. This is rare, no other caterer we spoke with will do this. We had leftovers all week long, which was amazing after being so tired! Two of our guests unfortunately had to leave before dinner, but they even packed them a to go dinner. Just one of the many examples of how Stein's goes above and beyond. For all that they include and the quality of food you get... they are very reasonably priced. Something very appreciated during the wedding planning process. Stein's holds a high reputation among all other vendors. When another vendor found out who our caterer was, they would all say what a joy they were to work for. If you are looking for a caterer for your event, you should consider yourself lucky to have Stein's. It was one of the best choices we made and they will always hold a special place in our hearts. read more

Our daughter wanted to get married in Paso Robles. Stein BBQ and Catering had been highly recommended so we met with them and tried some of their preparations. We were very impressed with Nancy and Brian and contracted with them to cater our daughters wedding. Words cannot adequately express how great the Steins were to work with. They responded and had solutions to every thing we wanted. The dinner they prepared for 150 people greatly exceeded our expectations. The quality, flavor and presentation was beyond compare. We could not recommend Nancy & Brian Stein enough. Don't look any where else for your Paso Robles area catering needs. Frank & Liz Pitts read more

What an honor, joy, and privilege it was to have Stein's cater our wedding!! Nancy and her family are the kindest, most wonderful, down-to-earth people, and took such wonderful care of us throughout the entire planning process. We are a COVID couple, and had to completely move our entire wedding from May 2020 to May 2021 with little lead time. Stein's was PHENOMENAL throughout the entire process, constantly reassuring us that they were on our team and would be with us through thick and thin. Our guests RAVED about the food and service, and we feel so lucky to have had the opportunity to work with them. They even accommodated some very particular dietary restrictions with ease, patience, and grace. Cannot recommend this company enough!! read more

Birthday 4 Bay! Super chill, great food (the potato salad was off a little for us)‍ But the pastrami was oh so good!! Thx for the xtra pickles!! And the cookies were yummy too! read more

Bomb. Diggity. Get some! We had the tri-tip, pulled pork and pastrami sandwiches. All three were huge and delicious. This place would be difficult to improve upon. read more

Great addition to downtown Paso Robles. Nice menu choices and very reasonably priced with great portions. The nachos with pulled pork was amazing and enough to feed all four of us - hoping they add a half size in the future. Also had an awesome pastrami sandwich that was tasty and tender. The bbq beans and slaw were very flavorful. Brian and his staff were professional and courteous. Will be coming back soon. read more

California BBQ at its best. You get a massive serving for the price, the atmosphere is great, and Kris (the Owner) is awesome!

Best PASTRAMI sandwich ever!!!! It's ruined any and all other pastrami sandwiches for me! I sampled other stuff from other people's plates and it was ALL delicious. I will definite be back again!!! #BESTPASTRAMI #STEINSBBQ read more

Stein's was recommended to us after we had trouble booking certain companies that we originally wanted. Well it turns out I'm very happy our first choices were not available for our wedding weekend, because Steins did an amazing job!!!! Brian and Nancy are nice as can be and better yet they have amazing food and service!!!! I'd highly recommend them to anybody! read more

Nancy and Brian Stein absolutely are the BEST!!! Firstly they are just wonderful people and we are so lucky to have gotten to meet them! In terms of catering we could not of find anyone better, the food was to DIE for! Nancy helped me with all the details of our wedding to make sure that no little detail was forgotten. She went above and beyond the roll of a caterer in a wedding, helping with decoration and coordination wherever she could. We could not of been happier with the Stein's and would recommend them to EVERYONE!!! read more

Nancy and Brian Stein and crew were amazing. I know 5 star rating seems impossible but they do not disappoint. We met at their office and sampled their delicious food and stopped looking. Their prices are fair and well worth the money. Nancy was amazing and made it all come together. We will not use any other caterer if we need one again. Stop looking around and make Stiens your caterer too. They set up fast and made everything perfect. Take Nancy's advice on everything she knows her profession and Brian's knows how to create delicious food. Thanks again Nancy and Brian! read more

Stein's catered my son's wedding in September 2016. Nancy, Brian and all their staff were so attentive, courteous and made all the guests feel special, especially the bride and groom! Not only was the food the best I have ever experienced at a wedding, but it is up there with some of the best Restaurants in our area! They are the very best at what they do, I am still getting compliments on the wedding food and the kindness of all their staff. I would recommend their catering service for any function you may have. You won't find a better catering company anywhere! Thank you Nancy and Brian Stein for making my son's wedding so special for our whole family and guests! read more

We used Steins for our wedding at Santa Margarita Ranch and cannot say enough good things about them! First of all, they are a lovely couple who truly want your big day to be as perfect as possible. This was clear when my now husband and I first met them during our food tasting. They were so fun and easy going, we knew we had to hire them ... not to mention they were serving the best BBQ either of us had ever eaten! Nancy and Brian helped us personalize our menu and when my husband wasn't feeling well on the day of our wedding, Nancy even went to get him medicine! Their staff was wonderful from beginning to end and the whole setup was absolutely beautiful. Now our wedding is nearly 2 months behind us and we still have guests seeking us out to compliment their wonderful food. We were so lucky to have them and would highly recommend you do the same! read more

Brian and Nancy Stein, along with their staff, are FANTASTIC!! We hired them to cater our wedding and we can't stop talking about how wonderful they were. From our first point of contact, Nancy was communicative, enthusiastic, and helpful. We were able to settle on a menu that met our budget and food needs (stuffed mushrooms and bbq kielbasa appetizers, tri-tip, bbq chicken, salad, smoked gouda mac and cheese, baked beans, roasted veggies, and garlic bread- yes, ALL that food at a VERY reasonable price). We STILL have people talking about how good the food was (especially the mac and cheese). Think about it...when was the last time you went to a wedding and RAVED about the food?! We had a lot of out of town guests and wanted to provide a meal representative of the Central Coast, and Stein's went above and beyond! Not only did they provide amazing food, but they were so helpful throughout the day! Relaxed, prepared, flexible, and friendly. I can't believe how lucky we were to be able to work with them. If I ever host another big party in the area again, I will call Stein's to cater without hesitation. read more

Stein's Catering... what a blessing! Chef Brian and Nancy were amazing. Chef Brian's food is some of the best I've ever had in my life. My wife and I were married a few weeks ago and I still have family and friends telling us how great the food was. Nancy provided us with guidance and suggested other wonderful vendors. Nancy was such a huge help and I do not believe we would have had as nice of a wedding as we did without her. She is awesome! Nancy and Chef Brian are the dream team for a wedding. Thank you both for everything you did for us. We really appreciate it. With love, Eric and Estefania. read more

Very nice casual BBQ place! Not too greasy and fatty:-) You can also go healthy with Ahi Tuna salad if you don't feel like meat.

If you are looking for the BEST FOOD AND CATERING service for your wedding, STOP - This is your caterer. Nancy and Brian go above and beyond to create mouth watering food for you and your guests. Not only did they figure out a menu that was tailored to our tastes (including a mac and cheese bar with 3 types including a bacon and lobster mac and cheese) but Nancy also went way out of her way to make sure I had everything I needed before the day of the wedding. I am a DIY kind of person and didn't listen to anyone that told me I should get a wedding coordinator so it was especially nice having the guidance from Nancy prior to the wedding. They had exceptional staff that made myself and our guests feel spoiled and everyone was so friendly and helpful. They packed up tons of leftovers (that were even better the next day) and stayed for quite some time bussing tables and helping clean and pack our rentals from SLO party rentals so we didn't have to do it in the morning. They took care of our property manager, bartender and DJ as well. Also the pricing was excellent - for my menu it was $40/person which was buffet style including appetizers and dinner with a water and non-alcoholic drink station. I think every person at our wedding came up to us and commented on the food. For those of you wondering what was commented on the most from our guests: strawberry lemonade, santa maria trip-tip, all the mac and cheese, and the vegetables. read more

I recently had a small business event catered by Stein's and the catering was fantastic! I ordered the Famous Red Oak Santa Maria Style BBQ and a cookie/brownie platter. The tri-tip seasoning really stood out to me and it was cooked to perfection! It's the best tri-tip I've ever tasted. The food was a big hit and I plan on using their catering services again in the future. read more

When the caterer we used in the past was not available, Stein's came to the rescue! Not only were they easy and fabulous to work with before and during the event, but the food was fabulous. The staff was so wonderful and they made it easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend them for any kind of event you might be having. They were very professional and really made our event successful! read more

Just went to Stein's for the first time. My first impression was that it was a little pricey. However, once the food came out, the portions justified the price. The sandwiches were huge! My tri-tip sandwich was great. The meat was moist and cooked to perfection. And the bread totally made the sandwich. The Mac and cheese was amazing. I will definitely go back read more

Nancy and Brian were truly committed to making our day are as perfect as possible. Nancy was prompt, responsive, and extremely helpful throughout the entire planning process. We used their catering service for our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding reception and our guest are still raving about the food! They worked extremely well with all of vendors so our Wedding Day went as smoothly and as stress free as possible. I would highly recommend for any future event. read more

If you're looking for a caterer STOP - - Nancy and Brian live up to all they tell you during the interview process. Their passion for what they are able to do made the day's catering exceed expectations. Flawless presentation, timing, excellent SERVICE, the best appetizers, salads and tri-tip. Nancy's ideas, after listening to our daughter's ideas, allowed the reception to be our reception. Stein's encouraged our accessorizing the event and built upon and around what we could do. It's been a few weeks and our guests are still raving about the event at Greengate Ranch. The two companies worked together extremely well. Salads served at the table, buffet style service, gluten free options, food always replenished and fresh, dishes cleared from guests very inconspicuously. service so professional - especially their uniforms. Outstanding group Even at the end of the night Nancy and Brian's exuberance and excitement for being part of our day was very apparent. They love what they do and that's the biggest part of what makes them and their group the best for Central Coast. They know how to get it done. Thank you Stein's, Greg G. read more
