I recently had the privilege of working with Brittney Stockdale, the manager of Phil's Catering, for a client's wedding, and I can't praise her and her team enough. From the very beginning, Brittney's dedication to making the event perfect was evident. She was incredibly responsive, always available, and paid close attention to every detail, whether through countless emails, texts, or phone calls. Her attentive and helpful approach made the planning process smooth and stress-free.

The entire Phil's Catering staff was an absolute delight to work with. Their friendliness, willingness to assist, and overall professionalism were truly outstanding.

And, of course, the food provided by Phil's Catering was exceptional. It not only met but exceeded our expectations, leaving a lasting impression on all the guests.

I genuinely can't express enough how remarkable the experience was working with Brittney and her team at Phil's Catering. I would choose to collaborate with them a million times over, and I wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone in need of exceptional catering for their special events. Thank you, Brittney, for making the wedding an unforgettable success!

The options we chose were chicken in a lemon basil sauce and the tri tip!
We had mashed potatoes and bread as well! It was very lovely, and everyone enjoyed the food! Great communicators, flexible with what we wanted, and made great food! Such a great decision to choose them!

Phil’s Catering did an AMAZING job at our wedding!

Brittney from Phil’s is a wonderful person and very great to communicate with. There were some questionable reviews of Phil’s that I had to ask her about and she very graciously explained what happened and what she’d been doing to improve the business. That spoke volumes to us and made us really trust her. We ALSO LOVED their food! My husband and I went to a food tasting at their restaurant in Atascadero and we LOVED EVERYTHING they served us! We were so excited to hire them immediately and we could not stop raving about how amazing our food was going to be at our wedding!

Fast forward to the wedding, EVERYONE RAVED ABOUT THE FOOD AS WELL! It’s been a couple months since our wedding and every guest that has spoken to me since has talked about how delicious the food was. They specifically called out their appetizers - we did their braised meatballs, arancini risotto cakes, and goat cheese crostini. My friends legit said they were fighting other guests at the entrance of the wine room (where the appetizers were coming out) to grab as many arancini balls they could. And everyone loved the pasta bar!

One other great thing Phil’s did was execute on our vision for a late night ramen bar! They were the only vendor we spoke to that was very excited about the idea and had a great solution and way to get it going! And during our late night ramen bar, we had a power outage. Even with that outage, they delivered and the guests loved the ramen!

There were a couple of mistakes that I think future couples should take note of to avoid these things from happening. First, we thought we were very clear about what services we needed from them months prior to the wedding. However, a week before our wedding, Phil took a look at our details/timeline and decided to add additional staff to the invoice. This was a sudden cost since we already budgeted based on what was given to us when we signed the contract. Since we signed, the number of staff and hours hadn’t changed until the last minute which left us stuck paying money we didn’t anticipate. Another issue was we had two Gluten Free guests that we ordered special meals for but Phil’s completely forgot to bring those meals for them. But I do think that Brittney handled both of these well and again speaks to how much she cares for her clients!

Overall I really recommend Phil’s Catering to any couple getting married in the Paso Robles area! They do a great job! I give a lot of credit to Brittney and her team. Their food is truly exceptional. Thank you Phil’s Catering!!! We loved you and so did all of our guests!

Even after several months we still have guests commenting on how good the food was at our wedding. For dinner we chose tri tip, salmon, and polenta for the main courses with roasted garlic whipped potatoes and salad as the sides. We also did bruschetta, meatballs, and shrimp cocktail cups as passed appetizers for our cocktail hour. All of the food tasted just as good on the wedding day as it did at the tasting. They were very considerate of my husband and I and made our plates for us to make sure we ate. They even left some of the passed appetizers for us to make sure we got to eat those. We also used them for bartending services and our guests commented on how efficient the bar service was and how good the drinks were. I would highly recommend Phil’s Ctaering for anyone looking for a caterer on the central coast!

Prompt, kind, and hardworking - it was such a pleasure to work with Phil's Catering team! And of course, their food was incredible!

First off, the food is delicious. We had the chicken and tri tip with a bunch of sides like potato salad and rolls. SO YUMMY. Secondly, they’re SO friendly!! We worked with Mary and she was a doll. So kind and happy. I will always recommend Phil’s for catering!

Highly recommend Phil’s catering! They are on it! The food is delicious and the staff is kind. They know how to cater a wedding!

We had a great experience with Phil’s Catering as our wedding reception caterer. They were professional, organized, and fun to work with. The staff was courteous and enjoyable. The caterer will play a big role in the experience of your guests and the overall success of your wedding “event”, and you definitely want things to go smoothly. Patty (the manager from Phil’s) was amazing. She had a good relationship with our wedding coordinator. She did a site visit the day before and answered all of our questions and completely put us at ease. The food was better than expected and we received numerous complements from guests. We did a family style dinner. We had poached salmon with dill sauce, vegetables with a bechamel sauce, polenta, and salad. It really was amazing. We went a bit heavy on the comfort (two creamy sauces!) but they were not overwhelming and the salmon was perfect. The staff was very helpful with cleanup and with organizing the rentals after dinner. Every aspect of the experience was great, and I highly recommend working with them.

My husband and I hired Phil’s Catering for our wedding this past June and it was one of the best decisions we made. Phil’s is incredibly professional and the food is amazing. All of our guests raved about how good the food was and many people went back for seconds! Also, Phil’s is extremely professional and organized, which allowed my husband and I to truly enjoy and soak in our entire reception. I could not recommend Phil’s enough! You will not be disappointed because the service, food, and professionalism are unmatched.

We were the Day-of Coordinators for a a wedding and we worked closely with Phil's Catering. I cannot express how impressed I am with them overall! They had a recent sudden tragedy where one of the owners passed away. Despite that, they were still operating at 100% and doing an AMAZING job too! We communicated with them frequently to help out our bride and they were always extremely quick to reply back, beyond flexible and helpful with coming up with suggestions when hiccups occurred, and the day-of they knocked it out of the park. They arrived early, set up extremely quickly, and were professional. Their staff was friendly and helpful at every turn and their food was to die for! The guests at the wedding seems to feel the same way and were also impressed with their staff. From a vendors point of view, they are all around an amazing company to work with. I would highly recommend them for any weddings we do in the future!
