Hazy Barbecue

Hazy Barbecue is a catering company based in Danville, California. They specialize in Texas-style barbecue and American fare with dishes featuring brisket, ribs and salmon to salads. With a central location in the Bay Area, they serve events around San Francisco, from Napa to San Jose. Hazy Barbecue catering team welcomes couples to taste dishes to create a custom menu. On the day of the wedding, your dishes can be picked up, delivered, or served with the full catering package. This service is ideal for large events, and wait staff will be on-site throughout the meal to set up, serve, and clean up. Individually boxed meals available!

“Hazy Barbecue was amazing at our daughter's wedding – the food was delicious, incredibly affordable and generously portioned. My daughter and now son-in-law love BBQ, however, there are not a lot of great options in the SF Bay Area. I personally visited and tasted food from 13 established restaurants and caterers and luckly, Hazy opened up in Danville, our town, just in time. The theme of the wedding was not country or western, we just wanted food that we love and something we knew would satisfy our guests--and Hazy came through. Tami and her team were very easy to work with, before and during the event, always very responsive and gave close attention to small details. As with any caterer, be sure to outline all of your needs, ask questions about everything from staffing, set-up and break-down so that you have your expectations met, like we did. We were their first off-premise catered event, fully staffed, so our 4-star rating on service and clarity of communication is only because they obviously had room for growth since this was their first event after launching the catering side of their business. Our friends and family truly enjoyed the food and raved about the brisket, pulled pork and the side dishes. Highly recommend you consider Hazy for your special event. I'll visit their restaurant every time I am back in town! The food was 5-star!”

“Mark and his team were wonderful from the start. He was always prompt to respond, kind, and quickly provided any updates to the menu/guest count/linen color change/ etc. We felt so comfortable working with Chef Mark right from the start and that was even more confirmed when we were able to finally meet him on our special day. Mark was adaptable to our decision to move where we were hosting dinner with such a supportive response "It is your day, we are serving dinner where you would like to" with no complaint at all. He arrived a few minutes early to make sure he and his team knew the venue layout and quickly got to work! He was personable making many guests laugh and smile (and even gave them sneak peak tastes into dinner and dessert!). Chef Mark also came down while we were eating to make sure that all guests were satisfied and boy were their smiles on everyones faces! We started with an array of appetizers from olive tapenade to turkey meatballs (my fav!) to ceviche. Our dinner was delicious- chicken, salmon, rice, asparagus, salad, and for dessert, chocolate cake and cheesecake (we ate it all!). All of the food was so good that we were getting texts the next day about all the specifics to our menu from our guests. I would HIGHLY recommend booking with Chef Mark if you want comfortable, reliable, and good vibes on your wedding day!”

Communication was so easy - quick responses, easy to understand, and always professional. The Midsummer catering crew during my wedding were also very professional and kind. Leading up to the wedding, I worked a lot with Cleodia. She was very kind, professional, and understanding whenever I had question or had to make changes to the plan. 2 months before my wedding, I had a problem with my venue and Cleodia was a great help. She helped me remain calm during my panic, helped me find possible new venues, and worked with me to create a quick solution to a major problem. I honestly don't think I would have found a new venue without Cleodia's help and I am very grateful. I would 100% recommend MidSummer Kitchen for all your catering needs. If I could rate higher than 5 stars, I would.”
