In 2020 we were going to use Jimmy for our wedding. COVID came along and we had to change plans. Jimmy worked with us without a deposit and when we had to cancel was very compassionate. We remembered this and were finally able to pay him back when we hired him to catered our daughters first birthday party. Jimmy and his staff did an excellent job and we received great reviews from our guests.

I'm a client at a business that Jimmy caters to. I have severe GI issues and have to follow a physician prescribed diet ("Low FODMAP" diet).I called Jimmy to express my concerns that I wasn't receiving foods that are OK for my diet. Not only did he personally spend time with me on the phone to go over precisely what I could and couldn't eat, but he also expressed empathy for my condition and just seems like a great individual overall. His customer service is the best I've seen from a food allergen standpoint, he is extremely patient and understanding and I highly recommend his business especially if you need to follow specific dietary guidelines. I imagine if you have other special requests like specific ingredients etc he is more than capable of giving you exactly what you need.

We wanted to do something special for the engagement party for our son and his fiancé. So thankful for the creativity, presentation and all around quality of Jimmy Birmingham. Rave reviews for the crispy skin salmon and the beat salad was more than amazing. He and his team arrived right on time and got moving. There was little for us to do and dishes were done when he left. Highly recommend him and we are now planning our next event!

I'm a pastor who changed churches during the pandemic. We wanted to celebrate our ministry safely so we decided to do a boxed lunch picnic. We wanted to support a local black owned company and a friend recommended Jimmy. He was AMAZING! The food and service was great and everyone felt safe!

If you are looking for quality and service...look no further. I highly recommend Chef Jimmy and his team. We had him do Father's Day Brunch and then two back to back birthdays. Fantastic food, great presentation, and warm friendly assistants. You won't be disappointed!

WOW! That was some amazing BBQ! Jimmy catered our high school graduation. The chicken skewers were so tender, juicy and delicious. The ribs were to die for. The tri-tip was amazing! The portions were huge, and we had a lot of teenage boys with big appetites at the party, and we still had some leftovers...lucky me!!! Definitely would recommend them to everyone!

I will never use another caterer! Jimmy is amazing and the food is mouth watering and out of this world! Professional staff and your home or business is completely cleaned up when they are done! If you want your next event to go off without a hitch call Jimmy! You will not be disappointed!

Jimmy is one of the most kind hearted passionate people you will find. His passion for food and health translates u to his food which absolutely delicious! He goes above and beyond and on point with everything he makes. The whole ljcatering staff is so sweet and helpful. So grateful and thankful to them! He catered our teachers appreciation luncheon. We are a small homeschool group with only 10 teachers and they had different dietary needs like gluten free, vegetarian, keto, etc. Jimmy was up for the challenge and blew it out of the park! I will use Ljcatering again :) Everything was labeled and organized and his delivery driver even set everything out! Thank you so much to the whole team!

Jimmy is not only an amazing chef but KNOWS his nutrition. Loved working with him and our conversations. Jimmy, if you read this review thank you so much for making David & my wedding day meal amazing!! I will happily work with you again should I need some catering. Hope all is well during this weird COVID19 time. Your roasted broccoli is one for the ages!

Jim is great! Asked him for Cajun food for our Mardi Gras party and he delivered a great spread of jambalaya, red beans and rice and king cake. All delicious and very reasonably priced. Jimmy was an absolute pleasure to work with. Would use him again and again!!

We had the Luscious Jimmys thanksgiving feast this year and it was outstanding!! The fried turkey was a favorite and the mashed potatoes and gravy were to die for. Jimmy puts his twist of flavor on everything he touches. I highly recommend his meals during the holidays when you don't feel like cooking!

I've been using Jimmy's meal prep service for months now, and it's been a lifesaver! He makes incredibly healthy, tasty meals, which saves me time and is worth the drive from LA. Cant recommend him enough!

I own an Event Management company and recommend Luscious Jimmy's Catering for any social, corporate or non-profit event you may have or be involved with. There is just no comparison to the "heart" Chef Jim puts into cooking his amazing and delicious food! Expect the unexpected. Check him out at www.ljcatering.com

Jimmy and his team catered my in-law's celebration for obtaining their US Citizenship by preparing a BBQ feast. The meat + sides were all exceptionally delicious, the team was very friendly, and the event ran incredibly smooth. We are preparing to use him again for a large baby shower and I can't wait to get his food on my table again. If you find the time during your catering event, talk to Jimmy about his backstory -- it's very interesting!
