We hired Harvest Kitchen for our January 1st wedding. Let's just say if I could give them 10 stars I would. We had over a hundred guests and had a plated service with a Vegan and Non Vegan option. Service and staff was impeccable, impressive, incredible, outstanding, I could keep going but they handled it in a first class way. Going back 5 months when we first did our tasting and then fast forward to wedding day. They never missed a beat and kept us all on track with their timely and absolutely delicious food and service. I would recommend anybody looking for any event that needs outstanding

Harvest Kitchen recently catered my wedding for 100 people at my parent's home. Everyone commented on the food - it was incredible! We had salmon, short rib and vegan Thai curry options, and it blew everyone away. Samantha was great to work with and I can't recommend Harvest Kitchen enough for your catering needs. It was so convenient with their food truck - it easily sat in our driveway, eliminating the need to convert the garage in the kitchen. The entire team of servers were professional. Highly recommend the churros for late night :)
Thank you Harvest Kitchen!
Thank you Harvest Kitchen!

If you haven't tried this food you are missing out. The food was super high quality, delicious and the presentation was awesome. I'm very satisfied with my experience. The owner is great to work with, very professional and knowledgeable. I highly recommend trying them out to anyone who appreciates great food.

Harvest Kitchen catered our wedding in May, and the food and experience was incredible. They put a delicious dinner menu together for us (fish and barbacoa tacos, black beans, spanish rice, and broccolini), and the appetizers were incredible too (ceviche, mojo shrimp, chips and guac). It was exactly what we were hoping for, all of our guests loved the food, and having the food truck at our wedding venue was fun and memorable. Samantha was a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process; she was very responsive and flexible. We recommend Harvest Kitchen to anyone who is looking for a caterer

We booked Harvest Kitchen last minute for our micro wedding (50 people) and I am SO HAPPY we did!! Samantha was such a joy to work with and so sweet! She toured our venue and she was beyond prepared for the day and we had nothing to worry about. The food options were difficult for my husband and me to choose from because everything sounded so delicious and let me tell you they did not disappoint. The food was absolutely delish, fresh and the presentation was stunning! People told us after the wedding how tasty the food was. I am such a picky eater with a lot of food sensitives and Samantha and

Harvest Kitchen Catering was one of the vendors at an event I attended back in February. They offered chicken + waffle cones, savory sundaes, and bbq biscuit sliders as part of their menu offerings.
I really liked the presentation of their food. The chicken was inside a tiny waffle cone, so it was really cute and fun to eat. The savory sundaes had braised beef, winter root mash, crispy brussels, horseradish cream, and pickled red onion. This dish was very flavorful! It's a bummer I didn't get to try the sliders though.

By far the best experience ive had at a venue. Samantha helped us every step of the way. This place is so beautiful you barely need any decorating. Our bartender(Ethan) was as cool as they come. Felt like family. Im gonna try n have every event at this place. The best part was how flexible and accommodating they were to our needs. My Mom fell in love as well as the party as soon as they stepped in the doors. Thanks for making this a birthday to remember.

If you are looking for a wedding caterer, look no further.
Our wedding was on March 14, 2020 and Harvest Kitchen came through with the food! Food was pretty important to us as we've been to so many weddings with typical wedding food and we really wanted the menu to stand out. We tried four different catering companies and knew right away Harvest Kitchen was the one. They use sustainable and local ingrediants and the flavors were amazing!! Their setup also went really well with our decor. Samantha was incredibly helpful through the process. We had a grazing table for cocktail hour and for

Harvest Kitchen catered our wedding at Rimrock Ranch in Pioneertown, CA on 3/16/19 and we loved everything about them! We chose to have 3 appetizers for our cocktail hour: Mini chicken empanadas, fried chicken wrapped in a pancake, and the Farm Fresh board with cheeses, dried fruit, crackers, etc that was not only delicious, but also beautiful. After the appetizers, they provided a salad served family style at the tables, then the food truck opened up for dinner shortly after. Our dinner consisted of 3 different style sliders- chicken, beef/burger, and a beet slider for our vegan guests! We also

We recently used Harvest Kitchen for our 100-guest wedding in Pioneertown. And we couldn't be happier with the experience!
While we wanted a lot of variety on our menu, we had a number of guests who were vegetarian/vegan and we didn't want them to go hungry. Harvest Kitchen worked with us on a menu that catered to our guests needs and made the meat-eaters and vegans both very happy.
David and Samantha both offered creative solutions for how best to utilize the unique space we were in. They also went the extra mile to ensure they were clear on our layout and all of the special

Harvest Kitchen is in the regrettable position of taking over the recently departed "Eat at Recess" food truck slot here at Eastgate Mall. Eat at Recess was UTC's top food truck based on price, quality, and long lines. So how was Harvest Kitchen's first day?
I ordered the beet burger ( Beet patty, pickled vegetables, vegan herbed dressing (Tartar sauce like), lettuce, and gluten free sourdough bread). First and foremost, this sandwich could be compared to a tea sandwich in size. It's slightly longer than half of a plastic fork. The price however at 8.50 is expensive compared

Harvest Kitchen saved me at Lightning In A Bottle this past year. At LIB, food options are relatively limited and meat protein is pretty rare.
I was subsisting on protein bars and "pad Thai" kale/kelp salads but I just wanted something heartier throughout the weekend of music, dancing, drinking, yoga & talks. I finally was able to track down Harvest Kitchen next to the Woogie Stage!
Ordered their Paleo Bowl (sweet potato hash, kale, veggies, salsa and avocado): I paid extra for grilled chicken and bacon but it was worth it! Paleo usually has a bad rep but Harvest Kitchen knocked
