Along Came Carol Catering & The Nook

Long overdue review. Had my husband's 65th birthday there a few years ago. When it came my turn, I couldn't think of any place better than the Nook. The entire event, both times, were exactly as we hoped, intimate and private.
I absolutely can not say enough about Carol, her food or her staff. I worked with Carol to come up with a menu that was talked about for weeks after the event. My advise to anyone, listen to her. She knows her way around a kitchen. My only regret is that the night couldn't have lasted longer.

I’m so glad that I saw your facebook post about your Friday night dinner party.Thanks so much for fitting me in at the last minute! Even though I went by myself I had the best time! All the people I met were so nice and welcoming. Not only was the company great, but the food and service were just fabulous! Thank you Carol for a wonderful evening … I will definitely be back!

Carol created the most beautiful bountiful table for my husband's birthday party! Perfect large group appetizer!

Carol's corned beef and cabbage, plus the braised carrots and potatoes, accompanied by her own Irish soda bread, were a treat beyond desription. She is a gifted Chef-par-excellance. Linda G

We had an incredible experience at the Nook, celebrating our son’s wedding reception. The food was superb, the decor charming and the service exceptional. Carol and her lovely team went out of their ways to accommodate us.We can not thank you enough.

Along Came Carol catered our November backyard wedding - we could not have been happier with the delicious food and the wonderful staff! We received compliments from our guests for weeks after. The staff was very professional and easy to work with. We look forward to working with Along Came Carol for our future catering needs!

I am shocked by how unprofessional and rude Carol was to us and to her staff. She made our dinner so horribly uncomfortable for everyone. The food was not good at all so many of us left a lot of food on our plates. She asked us what was wrong and we politely told her we just didn’t enjoy it and she was absolutely livid. She made snarky remarks like we “didn’t understand fine food” and we “couldn’t appreciate” her culinary skills and talent. Like who says that to a guest?! It was all so unbelievable. I didn’t understand the glowing reviews on here until I read through them. Looks like all of those glowing reviews are from her personal friends who know her well. There is no reason to deal with anyone this rude.

Read the negative reviews carefully. I’ve noticed that all the ones that rave about her are from people who acknowledged they know her personally. The food is not great and the service was surly. Disappointed by the lack of authentic reviews.

Delicious food and wonderful staff.They catered my daughter's bridal shower. Food and service was beyond exceptional.

Had a wonderful experience!

The event we attended over the weekend was fabulous! The food was absolutely delicious and the staff was very attentive to the guests. I have been to other parties catered by Carol and she never fails to delite guests with her wonderful creative food. You'll never be disappointed when Carol caters for you. She will ensure that everyone has a fantastic culinary experience.

We recently went to an event catered by Along Came Carol. It was clear there were logistical issues and both the caterer and host were frazzled. The food was mediocre and we felt bad for the host because she was really stressed about this even which was supposed to be happy and celebratory. With graduation and Father’s Day coming up, we suggest you look elsewhere if you want your event to go smoothly. I’ve never seen so many plates left untouched. Sad waste of food.

Had a terrible experience with Along Came Carol. Owner was difficult and rude.

Not only is Carol an absolute sweetheart, but her food is also delicious. I can't get enough of her amazing dishes and her warm, welcoming personality makes the dining experience even better.

most amazing experience with vivacious small business owner. food was immaculate & dining experience was incredibly memorable. thank you carol.
