The food was presented beautifully & tasted amazing. They went above & beyond to help make our events successful! Will definitely be using them again.“

“We hosted a team event with Chef Chinchilla and I could not recommend it more! We had a great time competing for the best tacos, and everything we needed was perfectly prepared. Chef Chinchilla made everyone feel comfortable and confident in the kitchen, regardless of experience. And the chocolate chip cookies were AMAZING. Highly recommend Chef Chinchilla for any team or group event!“

Our chef Nick was OUT OF THIS WORLD with all his jokes and games, he even GAVE US EXTRA GARLIC BUTTER. In conclusion this was a 10/10 experience 10/10 service and I haven’t talked about the food yet!!!!!! A must if you are in the area.“

“We recently ordered catered treats for my daughter’s bridal shower, including tea sandwiches, scones, coconut cakes, and fruit tarts, and everything was absolutely wonderful. The tea sandwiches were fresh, beautifully prepared, and offered a lovely variety of flavors. The scones were perfectly sized, tender, and incredibly delicious. The coconut cakes truly stood out—moist, rich, and topped with the most delightful frosting. The fruit tarts were ideal bite-sized treats, with a perfect balance of fresh fruit and creamy filling. The presentation was just as impressive as the taste, and everything exceeded our expectations. We would gladly order again for any special occasion.“

“Kannappa Catering offers exceptional value. The quality of the food and service far exceeds their reasonable pricing. For our nonprofit's fundraiser, they provided a delicious and abundant spread that impressed all our donors. They were also wonderful to work with, understanding our constraints and offering helpful solutions. Their contribution helped make our event profitable and memorable. We are deeply grateful.“

“As a couple with high expectations when it comes to food, catering was one of the most important parts of our wedding. We did three tastings with 24 Carrots because we wanted everything to be perfect, and admittedly, we left some of those tastings feeling a little uncertain. However, on the wedding day, they completely exceeded our expectations!!! Every dish was beautifully prepared, flavorful, and served perfectly. We received so many compliments from our guests about the food, and it ended up being one of the highlights of the entire celebration. We're so glad we trusted the process—24 Carrots truly delivered when it mattered most.“

“Great service, fantastic food, friendly atmosphere! Loved everything about the place. Can't wait to come back.“

“😀The Wanted Taco did an amazing job at my husband's birthday party. Everyone loved the food! Nate and Joe were wonderful to work with. They were very personable and professional at the same time. I will definitely use them again.“

“Just had my wedding here and had simply amazing time! Barbi, Emily and the entire staff made it truly a seamless experience that allowed us and our guest to enjoy our wedding! They are definitely an elite catering service as they handle every little detail (and some unexpected ones) with top-notch care and attention! Definitely loved this venue as a convenient outdoor space in the Costa Mesa area, not too far from South Coast and Westminster/Fountain Valley which made things really easy for our friends and family to navigate. There's also a beautiful vineyard nearby for photos

Notes:
-Wedding was 230 people outdoors on the grass/garden area
-Did not have a ceremony there, though the gazebo is great for photos
-Allows for outside catering, we used the venue's appetizers which were great (the grilled cheese shooters were a huge hit!)

Overall, if you are looking to do something beyond a standard indoor restaurant, this garden is great as a blank canvas space to have your wedding with truly elite service and execution :D“

“The food here is such high quality and is such a unique experience.“

“The best lunch & awesome staff…shout out to Brody!“

“Country Garden Caterers were a great addition to our wedding day! The planning process for our event was smooth thanks to Diana Perkins! She was a rockstar in helping us plan our menu, was very flexible and understanding, and always answered our questions through phone or email with a quick turn around. We ordered the BBQ brisket, Chicken Marsala, and Poached Salmon as our main entrees and they were all amazing! I would highly recommend all three options. Our guests still comment how wonderful the food was.“

“We’re employees in the cards department who work at the hospital and stop by this coffee shop almost every day. Just wanted to share how great your barista Stephanie (Stephy) is. She’s consistently engaging and welcoming, and she has a natural way of making both customers and coworkers feel comfortable. She really sets a positive tone here, and you can tell she genuinely cares. The coffee is great, and she’s a big reason this place feels like such a bright spot in the day.“

“We’re frequent patrons of Postino Wine Cafe on South Broadway, San Antonio, TX. Love the ambiance, food, wine & service. Last night we experienced them at their finest! Ray & Mark went above and beyond in making our daughter-in-laws 50th birthday celebration special. The 50th balloons, cake accessories, & gift card were unexpected & appreciated. This is a place to go for a special celebration! Chef Joseph prepared a variety of delicious boards & more. They truly give top notch attention to detail & service. Highly recommend!“

“Love this coffee shop! Friendly staff and amazing baked goods. They have an excellent coffee menu too.“

“It would be great if it could be delivered to your door“

“We came from North Carolina to Huntington Beach to celebrate our daughters wedding in November. What a wonderful job they did with the food and bar. Top Notch! A+++. Highly recommend Love at First Bite for your catering needs“

“Nomada is best catering in south OC. Their food is delicious, service is excellent, and their set up/ presentation is chic. My guests all complimented how great the food was at our party. And the whole nomada team is so kind and helpful. I cannot wait to book them again!“

“I have been both food and batter from FreshMe since years and there is no better option than them. Their batter is amazing and the Idlis are so soft and fluffy that I have never had luck getting the same quality from any other batter. It checks all the three boxes - fresh, tasty and healthy“

“Amazing food. Delicious spring rolls. Baked goods.“

“The best in Santa Ana . Deliciosas carnitas el sabor es unico“

“I had the pleasure of hiring Delanya's for a private event on July 12, 2025. They have the best Brisket in Orange County. I do not say this lightly as I have had some of the best BBQ in the country. I am a Master Pastry Chef and work for the Food Network, word of mouth is what keeps great small businesses thriving and although I almost never leave reviews this is definitely a must!“

“Excellent food and service. Chinese seafood here is excellent“

“Thank you for preparing the “fantastic” food for our family and friends Christmas celebration on Saturday 12/14. Everyone enjoyed the brisket, pull pork ribs and side dishes. We will definitely keep your number on speed dial for our future parties.“

“I hired Chris and his team for my son's first birthday party and had such a great experience. Chris arrived on time and was super professional, and he and his partner set up quickly and got started right away. The food was amazing, and we received so many compliments from our guests. They were also very generous with the amount of food, which we really appreciated. Everything went so smoothly, and overall it was the best experience we could have hoped for. I will definitely be hiring them again!“

“I've been consistently impressed with the quality of their offerings, including their salads, rolls, sandwiches, pastas, and burritos, but they offer much more. Each item I've tried has been exceptional.
For businesses seeking a truly outstanding daily breakfast and lunch solution, I highly recommend reaching out to them. They offer convenient on-site presentations to introduce their delicious cuisine to your employees, and the employees have the opportunity to purchase.“

“Excellent service and presentation from the servers to the owners acting as MC. Very organized. I'm impressed. I would recommend to do your event here.“

“Ordered a grazing box for Christmas and it was perfect!! Everyone loved it. It looked beautiful and tasted good. It came with 4 different kinds of fresh cheeses, plenty of crackers and a delicious hummus, veggies and fresh fruits.Picking it up was interesting they work out of a community huge kitchen so it's a bunch of shops, you call them when you arrive and they bring it to your car. Service was quick, ordering online was easy, everything was yummy and beautifully arranged and I'll definitely order again“

“It was well, well worth the price of admission and more. My friend and I had a great experience and I personally vouch for the vermicelli noodles made with the house special. I took a risk trying a new dish and was handsomely rewarded. A really nice place and I was impressed with the whole experience. Everything was sharp and fresh. The noodles were cold and crisp and the sauce was really nice. Just a very good experience.“

“Had the brisket, Mac, and cornbreads. Love the chopped brisket. A little too fatty for my taste, but provided good flavor to the meat. BBQ sauce was very good - not too salty or sweet. Mac was good, with a little peppery kick to it. Both cornbreads were very good - the blueberry would be my choice over the honey. Overall, will definitely come back to try Lou’s other meats.“

“The eggrolls here is one of the best eggrolls I had eaten. I had been a customer for over 20 years and each time I ordered I had not been disappointed. The eggrolls are crunchy and delicious to eat when they are hot.
The service most of the time is great. The owner is friendly. They mostly speak Vietnamese but the helper speaks Spanish.“

“Dirty birds are light fresh and wholesome tacos we get them from time to time from food winners and the last up to 3 times longer than most the other products that food when he gives us“

“I can't express enough how awesome Chef Lou and the entire staff was!! The occasion was my wife's surprise birthday party. Chef Lou created a wonderful menu. The whole team arrived promptly and delivered an absolutely awesome experience.
The food was both delicious and had a beautiful presentation. All of the staff was super friendly and accommodating. Everyone at the party was so pleased with this team. Then at the end, they quietly cleaned up and left the house as if they were never there. I feel very fortunate to have found Saltwater Catering for this party.

I am already trying to figure out the next time we would be able to use them again!“

“In this place, food is prepared for very good airlines, by the way, well, no. Because it is my workplace but very good attention in English and Spanish. These photos are some of the many platiyos that are prepared for the airlines in this place“

“Tim and his team executed wedding day and it was an absolute dream!! Tim has been very communicative from the start ensuring everything on the contract was going to be fulfilled on wedding day.
The food was delicious and mouthwatering, the food came out hot and fresh - guests could not stop raving about the food. Even my vendors said the vendor meals were delicious! As a bride, of course it was difficult to eat all courses - it makes me wish I was a guest to my own wedding so I could eat everything LOL
During the food tasting I told him we wanted our walnut prawns with more sauce and he put lots of that delicious mayo sauce. The lobster garlic noodles was my favorite dish!
Tim also provided rentals for us - stage, dance floor, chairs. The stage, dance floor, and chairs made the entire ballroom look so dreamy, romantic, and whimsical. I even changed my mind last minute for the chair colors and he was super accommodating
Tim wholeheartedly deserves 5 stars! The caterer is the most important vendor for a wedding and Tim ensured he delivered nothing but the best for my guests. If you're looking for a banquet style meal for your wedding - 1 10000/10 recommend Tim. Thank you Top Catering for making my wedding an unforgettable night.“

“Beautiful setting around the fountain in the civic center.“

“Really good sandwiches and beer. Mixed experiences with select staff. A couple awkward - not so welcoming interactions with 2 male staff on two separate days. Did not feel welcomed. Other than those two guys, the rest of the staff are very friendly, prompt, and welcoming.“

“Great waters and friendly staff :)“

“Came here after seeing this place on my social feed. Quiet little unassuming place with friendly staff and quick service. I got a pastrami sandwich and it was great. The sandwich came out in less than 5 minutes. I’ll have to come back to try some other menu items for sure“

“Food was great... Needs to be eating within a good time frame for best taste. It's easy and convenient so you don't have to worry about making lunch or dinner. You get to choose from a variety of plates to satisfy your taste buds and your waste line. Its delivered fresh and well packaged. Worth a try!!!“

“Great food awesome people who care! Some of the best service home cooking I’ve ever experienced! You’ll never be disappointed, it’s like eating at moms house and feeling like home! Love Kinnon catering“

“We had the pleasure of tinting the windows at their location. Such a pleasure working with Carol, amazing business owner and you can tell she cares about her craft as well as her clients. She even hooked us up with a grilled cheese, tuna melt, banana pudding and banana bread! It tasted amazing! Highly recommend if you're looking for a high quality catering company 🙌🏾“
