The Most Delectable Personal Chefs in Stockton

Food Simply

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Okay, this is my absolute new favorite! Working with Food Simply was an exceptional experience. To begin with Camille is a gem. We worked with her to plan the event and find the right chef. Then the food was so innovative and fresh I loved how the chef styled each dish as if I was having a tasting menu. The quality of the ingredients was evident and the taste was truly delicious. I honestly never really enjoy catering to the point where I would rave about it as if I was at a fine dining restaurant, but this was it! That's the difference with hiring Food Simply! The private chefs at Food Simply have an appreciation for the art of cooking. And then they were incredibly accommodating to our specifications.I think I was downplaying how amazing the experience would be having a private chef at my house versus ordering catering in. To be honest, it felt bougie and perfect! I highly recommend Food Simply for your events. Even it's just dinner for two, it's really an upgrade from any other option!"

Greek Olive Catering & Baking

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"I hired Eleni to develop a custom menu for my intimate wedding reception and was beyond impressed. Eleni's communication was top-notch from the beginning via email/phone as she helped me create a menu to accommodate a variety of dietary restrictions (vegan/vegetarian). Eleni was always on time and she took the necessary precautions due to COVID19. The food was absolutely incredible too! The lamb souvlaki and baklava were some of the highlights of the night! I would highly recommend anyone to hire Eleni for their event and would work with her for future events!"

Porras Solutions - Chef Carlos

★★★★★ 4.8 (42)

"I recently had the pleasure of hiring Chef Carlos from Porras Solutions, and I cannot recommend him enough! From the moment he arrived, Chef Carlos made me feel completely comfortable in my own apartment. His professionalism, warmth, and culinary skills are unparalleled. The dishes he prepared were absolutely divine, showcasing both his creativity and expertise. Not only was the food spectacular, but the entire experience was seamless and enjoyable. Chef Carlos truly went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. If you're looking for an exceptional chef who makes you feel at home while delivering top-notch cuisine, look no further than Chef Carlos. A five-star experience all the way!"

Mix'd N Made By Miah

★★★★★ 4.5 (11)

"They recently catered a birthday party for an 85-year-old and I have to say they did not meet the standards that either I nor the wedding I mean the party planner who I spoke to Expected. What little food they served was OK but I be Larry hiring them to cater event for you. This event had over 100 people they did things like serve appetizers on cake place and just a lot of little things that you know you don't expect."

What's Cookin'

★★★★★ 4.5 (21)

"Eileen and her team were fantastic in catering our whiskey holiday party. They showed up on time even though the storm of the decade was hitting san francisco. we did an hour of passed apps, all of which were delicious and filling before drinking a lot!The cheese and charcuterie platters were fantastic, great selection.And the big finale, the bourbon bread pudding, was the perfect finish to a night of drinking whiskey. Eileen was super easy to work with, and was great communicating menus and working through changes as the event came near.As a former chef myself, I would 100% recommend Eileen for your party needs!"

Give’Em A Taste Catering

★★★★★ 4.7 (13)

"Wow, what can I say...the food is AMAZING. I booked Sullivan for my 30th birthday party and he did not disappoint. The food was very good. Everyone enjoyed themselves. I ordered catfish, prawn garlic pasta, salmon croquettes, string beans and sweet/hot chicken wings. Oh and let me not forget the DELICIOUS and incredible peach cobbler that was scraped clean by the end of the night (everyone tore it UP). If you order from him, you will not be disappointed!! I will definitely ask him cater any other event I have. The only regret I have is not taking any pictures. Thank you so much Sullivan!"

Nutri Gastro

★★★★★ 4.9 (53)

"In a panic after finding out that our go-to restaurant was closed for Thanksgiving (and having to cater food for our family who were coming over), I searched Yelp for catering companies. Although I didn't go with Nutrigastro's services, coordinating an order was such a pleasant and straightforward experience, I am considering Nutrigastro for future gatherings necessitating food for a large group. The customer service was hands down amazing. The staff I corresponded with were extremely friendly and accommodating. I can't say better things about them!"

Sac Valley Gourmet Catering

★★★★★ 5 (38)

"Highly recommend Boris and team! From conception to execution, he was communicative, responsive, and clear with expectations. He worked with our budget and customized a menu to our Spanish theme. The event was held in a family home and they were respectful, professional and friendly. I'd hire them again!"

TLC Catering

★★★★★ 4.5 (43)

"One of my coworkers brought this catering company to our attention when she began working here a year ago replacing Hannibals. Oh SO much better! Here is what I like about them. They have a wonderful variety of foods. Everything I have tried has been quite tasty. Today we had the breakfast buffet for admin day. Prices are reasonable and comparable to others. They show up on time, set up, and pick up. I had to host one of the luncheons and was really impressed with the professionalism. I appreciated that he explained what everything was and most importantly how to snuff out the chafing pans correctly! I think I would have burned myself. We use them regularly at least twice a week every week and never had any problems. Everyone else that has eaten has been very pleased as well. Thanks TLC!"

Chef Stephanie

★★★★★ 4.9 (112)

"Chef Stephanie catered my husband's birthday party yesterday. I ordered several trays of heavy appetizers and a charcuterie board. Everything tasted delicious! There was an ample amount of food. She printed a menu so everyone could see what was available. She is very professional with quick responses to my questions. She delivered the trays herself. I'd definitely use her again!"

Made with Love

★★★★★ 4.8 (22)

"I used Made with Love Catering for my sister and mines birthday party. We wanted a large selection of finger foods and appetizers. Debbie was great in communication and offering ideas on what to prepare. She was extremely thoughtful of our budget so that our spread was cost effective yet still looked and tasted great. Will certainly use her again for my upcoming events."

Eat Drink Be Merry Catering Co

★★★★★ 5 (109)

"I can't thank Nina and her team enough for doing a fantastic job hosting an important marriage party event for my wife and me. The process from start to finish has been super smooth and Nina was able to accommodate all the demands that we had. During the event itself, the clubhouse venue we booked had a lot of issues and Nina and her team was able to resolve them quickly and found solutions to get around them. Our friends and family really enjoyed the food, which all were super delicious. I love that their menus are very versatile and can cater to everyone's taste. We had many our guests asking us about the event and catering and we made sure to forward Eat Drink Be Merry's information to them. If I were to host another large event like this, I would definitely have Nina and her team on top of my list! :)"

Epicurean Chef

★★★★★ 4.9 (40)

"Chef Matt catered our 10 year vow renewal ceremony. Everything was amazing! He was prompt, personable and very professional. My husband and I have also inquired about his other meal services and we were impressed with his knowledge of food allergies and dietary restrictions. We will for sure use his services in the future!"

Vine And Fig Provisions

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Lacy and her team were amazing! The menu was beautiful and the food was delicious! They catered a family dinner, which made our vacation so special. With COVID, they were professional and safely prepared and served our beautiful meal. My 6 year old niece ate food I didn't think she would. My niece would like to give Lacy 9 million stars on Yelp! I can't wait to schedule my next family dinner with Lacy and her team. I can't express enough how amazing this was."

The Wandering Chef

★★★★★ 5 (31)

"We hired Jeremy for a board dinner for our company. I organized the event so I worked with Jeremy on the menu, scheduling and price. Unfortunately, I wasn't in attendance but the following day these are the words I heard, "amazing food", "such a treat", "wonderful food", and "best duck confit I've ever had!" The owner of the winery that hosted the event said he would hire him for events at the winery in the future.If that doesn't say he's amazing, I'm not sure what does."

Elisa's Catering

★★★★★ 4.9 (58)

"Quick Summary: We found Elisa's Catering from our wedding venue's list of preferred caterers and we thoroughly enjoyed working with Juan and his team. He's so friendly, humble, accommodating, very experienced, and his food is great!We were looking for a caterer who could create a family-style Asian-inspired menu and Elisa's Catering was one of the options stood out to us for their sample dishes on their website, customizability, and the reasonable quote. After exchanging emails and a couple phone calls with Juan to confirm our tasting menu, we had a tasting and really enjoyed everything. He has a great eye for presentation, he explained all the dishes well and took all our feedback into account. We loved the pork belly appetizer so much, we turned it into an entreé so we could enjoy more of it! In between our tasting and the wedding day, we got in touch with their preferred event rental company to pick out our linens, dishes, utensils, etc. and Juan handled the rest of the coordination. We were able to adjust the items on our original invoice, like adding a water station, a hot water carafe for our late night DIY instant ramen bar, and having apps served down near the ceremony space instead of the bar area as originally planned to cater to a better guest experience. Juan was gracious and patient through it all. We also really appreciated that he's not out to nickel and dime you and there aren't any hidden charges with him. He's genuinely here to make sure him and his catering team can help make your event the best! On the wedding day, everything seemed to run smoothly and all the team members we spoke to were so friendly. The staff made sure to serve me and my husband first and came back to check if we needed anything. We got so many compliments from our guests raving about the food throughout the day! People especially loved the pork belly and the ahi tuna cone appetizer. At the end of the night, we were given a couple trays of leftovers - a service that not all other caterers provided. We really appreciated this to avoid food waste. Overall, we loved having Elisa's Catering as our food vendor and appreciate them so much!"

Daun Cooks

★★★★★ 4.5 (8)

"I ordered from Daun this week. I got a puppy last week and have been so busy about all I could do was scramble an egg or nuke a hot dog and I saw a post about her on Facebook. So I thought I'd check it out.Portions are generous. Food looks and taste fresh. I would gladly serve to company and I'm going to enjoy having delicious meals that I can quickly toss on a plate and in the microwave and eat before the puppy gets into something else or needs to be taken out again :DThe price for the quality, quantity and delivery was very fair and I will be using her services again for myself, and or for when I have company coming and not up to cooking a full meal but want something better than take-out -- as this truly is better than take-out, even though delivery."

Sharpe Chef Culinary Services

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"Well, Grub hub pump your brake and flip a U. The Sharpe Chef put it down at this event. The Salmon was soft and flaky, the Chicken skewers were tasty and Beef kabobs were juicy. The Greens reminded me of being home eating grandma's greens. Even the potato salad was good. It's rare you find a meal with everything tasting good. My stomach just thanked me and your will too. Pick up your phone and book your event now."

"Sergio and Ricardo are excellent and very professional, I recommend them for all events, whether it be corporate, birthday parties, girl's day outs, and other gatherings. They put A TON of care and love into what they do and it shows through their food. Their grills and bar are set up looking super professional and clean, Sergio and Ricardo are very sweet and amazing people, and overall, it was an amazing experience. Their food is hands down delicious and the team is super cool to work with. The guacamole is made fresh and has many options with a super professional setup.

Warren’s 916 Eats

★★★★★ 4.7 (14)

"We had a small dinner party catered. Chef Warren made a truly delicious meal and his service was excellent. We had our food prepared at our location so we were able to smell it cooking while we mingled and enjoyed his charcuterie tray. Every time I tasted a new dish, plated and set in front of me, I was in sensory heaven. Rich flavors, and everything was cooked beautifully. I didn't expect to be so excited about even the Caesar salad! Warren had a very friendly and professional presence and we would definitely hire him to cater again!"

Chef Vanessa

★★★★★ 4.9 (56)

"My daughter hired Chef Vanessa for my birthday dinner. We had ten guests and two with dietary restrictions. She was able to accommodate all of my guests. She was so easy to work with and a pleasure to have in my kitchen. She is amazing and her dish presentation is wonderful. We had three appetizers, two mains, a veggie and dessert. She shopped, cooked and cleaned up. I was able to enjoy our guests and sit back and enjoy. I highly recommend her for your next get together. Her assistant was great as well."

What's In Sam's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4 (4)

"I am giving Sam a five star rating, for my boyfriend, who does not have the Yelp app. I've tasted her food at his house, and it is exceptionally good! It is very fresh and she offers a variety of dishes that she makes. She even delivers all the way to Escalon where he lives. Please support Sam as she is a hard-working chef who is trying to build her clientele."

Legacy Dominguez Foods

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"What can I say besides delicious food, great customer service, and a grand old time. The chef always has a smile on his face and he knows customer satisfaction comes first. He has a variety of different foods and so far they've all been top shelf quality! Definitely recommend!"

Bonsai Hibachi Catering

★★★★☆ 4.3 (16)

"THANK YOU TO CARLOS AND HIS TEAM! We hired Bonsai Hibachi Catering for my husband's 40th Birthday and our Baby Gender Reveal's Family Dinner! I highly recommend that you book them for your next intimate, at-home party/event. I love the convenience of how they come to your home, set up the entire production: including tables, chairs, plates and the grill - they even breakdown the event, all of which for a fee of $100 (set up/breakdown). While they require a minimum of 15 people, @ a price of $40 per person, you each get garlic fried rice, sautéed vegetables and a salad to start. For proteins, you will get, steak, shrimp and chicken - the huge plus about our booking is that we had left overs for almost 4 days after the event! Can't beat that!!! The food was absolutely delicious, juicy pieces of steak, chicken and shrimp. The fried rice?! So buttery and tasty! Everything was great. Not only do you get good food but you also get entertained by Chef Carlos, who was very personable and friendly. This was such a fun, interactive dinner that was enjoyed by my entire family! Will book again in the near future."
