Paine's - Hollister

Excellent food and service. They are very accommodating for large groups.

5 service from booking to service on the day for a 35 person memorial luncheon after a funeral.Kimber was so patient and accommodating when we changed our minds, the date, and the buffet menu multiple times!For appetizers we chose from their catering menu:Deep fried panko crusted Calamari so good! What a hit everyone loved even the kids! And the hand breaded artichoke hearts were especially tasty. For entee we chose Menu 2 Classic Country BBQ:We selected the roasted chicken dry rubbed tri-tip combo. Sides were corn on cob, slow cooked chili beans with an impressive mixed vegetables salad coffee tea provided as well. Plenty of warm bread and butter as well.Table set ups done beautifully and the food was worth waiting for.(We got there early)Highly recommended for parties, luncheons dinners for large parties! Parking: They have a 10-15 car lot in back of the restaurant also plenty of street parking as well. Kid-friendliness: Kids run freely in banquet room. We had a memorial luncheon so it was private but they are very accommodating. Wheelchair accessibility: Yes wheel chair access is a must for us my brother in law is in a wheelchair and felt at ease getting in and out. Disabled parking is in back right by accessible door to banquet room. Sort of tricky to find but it’s in back of restaurant thru the alley way.

It's just a classic, traditional restaurant, and the food is great.

Vegetarian options: They offered gluten-free accommodations.

The food was absolutely outstanding, from the mouthwatering appetizers to the delectable main courses. The culinary expertise truly shone through in every dish.But what truly sets Paine's apart is their exceptional staff. The service was impeccable, and the staff members were incredibly attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. They went above and beyond to make our dining experience memorable.Overall, I can't recommend Paine's restaurant enough. It's a true gem in Hollister, and it's the combination of incredible food and a fantastic team that makes it deserving of a solid 5-star rating.
