Top 24 Caterers in Santa Barbara

Think of this as a "Caterer Of The Month" contest. Except here, a jury didn't get to choose who gets what. This time, we allowed all the 135,884 people living in Santa Barbara to be jurors by picking up various signals they created, including reviews, online & offline sentiment metrics, citations, Google search result rankings, links between websites, brand mentions, social media activity, and more.


Essentially, this competition celebrates the passion for cooking & creating delicious and visually appealing dishes that bring joy to people. We discovered and reviewed all 87 caterers in Santa Barbara, then shortlisted 24 (social event/corporate/wedding catering companies, food trucks/drop-off/full-service caterers, live cooking caterers, chefs on hire, etc.). Finally, we ranked them based on taste, quality of food, client feedback, and affordability.
