"We just wanted to express our appreciation for the excellent job your people did during the wedding of our son, Martin to Emily. Rarely have we seen such dedication, attentiveness and friendliness in a catering crew. We could not believe they made it all the way to Dancing Horse Ranch on the Lake Nacimiento Road ready and able to serve the guests with a cheerful demeanor and complete dedication to their service. They were willing and able to take care of the wants and needs of all. One thing that really impressed me was their helpfulness toward the many little kids who were there, two of whom were my grandkids. All of you are to be commended for the quality of the food and the quality of the service. We will most assuredly recommend you to anyone in your service area."

Thanks Jim and Val!!!"

"The Bayou House—catering fit for Royalty!"

As recent royalty of the San Luis Obispo Mardi Gras, we know Cajun/southern cuisine when we taste it, and the Bayou House certainly fills those requirements. The Bayou House has catered our last five King Kake Parties here in SLO, including the Royal party in 1999 when they fed 150 invited guests a Cajun meal of a lifetime! When we want caterers that can provide a distinct and interesting selection of fine food, we call the Bayou House.
-Dead King John & Dead Queen Cindy (King and Queen of 1999 Mardi Gras)


Whether it's a casual bar-be-que or a formal sit down dinner, the food Bayou House serves is so good, you'll want to lick the plate.
- Miriana Dodson (customer at several Bayou House catered events)


Our business is wine and food. We are so impressed by Bayou House Catering's varied and delicious menu. There is something for every palate, plus they provide top notch service from beginning to after the event.
- For the Love Of Wine (Wine Club)


We want to thank The Bayou House for making our Wedding Rehearsal Dinner a great event with both superior service and excellent food! Valerie was invaluable in the planning stages for our event. She helped with great suggestions and quickly became the most pleasant person we dealt with in the wedding industry. She was always accommodating, professional and prompt. She even went out of her way to help us with a crisis with another vendor. Jim and Valerie went above and beyond to make our guests feel at home and very special. We were truly able to relax and enjoy the night knowing that everyone was well taken care of. We had a delectable barbecue for 75 people with a vegetarian alternative. The presentation of the buffet was only outdone by the taste. We continue to get raving comments from our friends and family about how wonderful the food and service was. Thank you again. We will recommend The Bayou House to everyone planning an important event.

Jim, Valerie and their staff planned, prepared and served a wonderful meal for our event. We had over 200 hungry runners attending a dinner banquet and The Bayou House made sure every last one of us was well fed—and then some. From the appetizers, through the main course, and then on to dessert, our guests were served a delicious meal both quickly and courteously by The Bayou House team. When our plans call for catering again in the San Luis Obispo area, I'm calling Jim and Valerie. Thanks Again!
