Garfrerick's Cafe and Catering

Took us 2 hours to get our food tonight. Party of two. That’s it. Very understaffed. The food tasted wonderful but waiting on 2 salads and 2 entrees is ridiculous. No food is THAT good.

Garfrerick's Café catered our October wedding at the Bald Rock Group Lodge up at Cheaha State Park. From the moment we were in contact with their catering director, Rachel Webb, I knew we were going to be receiving excellent service. She is one of the most detail-oriented people I have ever spoken with. I have Celiac, so finding a restaurant that could provide us with a completely gluten-free menu was really important. Rachel and I e-mailed back and forth over the course of eight months to ensure every step of the process would be perfectly planned, and it really was. Despite living in the area for a few years, my fiancé and I had never actually been into the restaurant. We had the pleasure of making reservations twice before our wedding to have a catering sample dinner. Not only were we served delicious food, but we had a great time as the atmosphere was so welcoming. All of the staff were so nice and you can tell how much they care about their restaurant. We were brought gluten-free bread as an appetizer without having to ask, both times we visited. It sounds simple, but I really appreciated that small detail. At our wedding they served meatloaf, pulled pork, sweet potato casserole, garlic mashed potatoes, French green bean salad, gluten-free rolls, cucumber tea sandwiches, pot de crème, and crème brûlée. It was beyond fantastic, and my mouth is still watering just thinking about all of it. Rachel, Jocelyn, and Chef Garfrerick were all in attendance during the catering process and because of them everything went so seamlessly. They worked with a member of my husband's family to coordinate all the setup we had discussed prior. Jocelyn served my husband and I right at our sweetheart table, cut our cake (from another bakery), and even snapped a few candid photos with her phone right before the ceremony that we will cherish forever. Our guests very much enjoyed their meals. The staff helped take down and pack away all the food and we had highly organized leftovers for days. We believe they were an instrumental part in making our special day go as smoothly as it did.
You all have a beautiful restaurant and an amazing staff. We wish you all the best and we can't wait to return just for dinner! Thank you so much for everything! - M + A

Had dinner with large group of 24 friends. Excellent service, food was delicious, and farm-to-table ensured absolute freshness. Superb wine selection, including some very hard to find labels, which was a complete and welcome surprise. Highly recommended.

This is a favorite date night place

My most concise review ever: I've travelled the world and only write reviews when I've experienced something special. Garferick's food and staff are extra special. Perfectly amazing flavor, presentation, and vibe. Do it!

10/10 experience for catering our wedding! From day 1, Rachel was AMAZING at helping us plan the catering for our wedding. the food tasting was amazing and Rachel had answers to every single one of our questions. She was so patient working with us and figuring out the dynamics of a larger backyard wedding. Rachel thought of EVERYTHING and I kept telling her she could truly be a wedding planner! Rachel made the planning seamless and the food at our wedding was a big hit. Everyone LOVED Garfrericks! We are so happy with the way everything worked out. We have absolutely zero complaints with Garfrericks and Rachel. AMAZING EXPERIENCE!

Many in my party ordered shrimp and grits. It was a spicy dish that we all felt lacked sausage. The grits were unidentifiable and had a weird taste. It seemed more like rice than anything. Whatever it was, it made my stomach swell and gave me serious gastrointestinal problems for several days. After such a terrible bout, I swore I'd never return. It also was too pricey for what you get. The waitress was friendly. The atmosphere was fine and the roach we saw crawling up the wall must've thought so too.

Server did a excellent work, but the restaurant did not have 3 main plates like the Salmon, the Ribeye and other. The waitres offer us Flanstake and was served over cook. 2 out of 3 other was less than 5 onz.

Great restaurant! Such a vibrant fresh mix of food for an area that does a lot of fried chains. The caprese, scallops over cream corn, and side of mac and cheese were all perfectly cooked and incredibly tasty. The peach pie was a tasty dessert as well. The service was lovely, very friendly and helpful. I love that they have mocktails. It was a little hard to get to in a small strip behind other stores but it's worth the find. Nice simple wood and industrial feel to the rooms. Overall, one of my new favorite spots when I'm there for work.
