“Catering by Robert was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! From the very beginning, Susan made the planning process seamless and stress-free. I had a vision in my head, and after our design meeting, she and her team executed it perfectly—every detail was thought through with such care and precision. Susan has such a warm and welcoming presence, and her years of experience in the industry truly shine through. She anticipated details I never would have thought of and made sure everything was absolutely flawless.

One of the highlights of working with Catering by Robert was the food. Having the opportunity to attend multiple group tastings allowed us to craft the perfect menu, and it paid off in the best way. Throughout the night, guests kept coming up to us saying, ‘This is the best food at a wedding I’ve ever had!’ Everything was cooked to perfection, beautifully presented, and full of flavor.

Beyond just the food, Susan was incredibly responsive throughout the entire process. She answered every question with patience, support, and enthusiasm, making us feel completely taken care of. I cannot recommend Catering by Robert enough—if you want a team that will bring your vision to life and deliver an unforgettable dining experience, this is the vendor to book. They truly MADE my wedding!“

“It was my first time in today to get lunch to go. The customer service was awesome! I had two people offering to help any way possible. Very personable people. I felt very invited! The food was definitely great as well. I heard good things about the food which was warrented, but the atmosphere stole the show!“

“Had the taco trio; pork beef and brisket. “Shia la Beef” (brisket) was my favorite but all were fantastic! Chips and queso were bland to me but I added pico and ate with my tacos. Ah-mazing nonalcoholic horchata and great friendly staff that took care to avoid my avocado allergy. Wonderful 🤌“

“Puff n Stuff provided the catering, bar, and rentals for our wedding on 3/22/25, and I am absolutely blown away by their service and attention to detail. From start to finish, they made everything seamless and stress-free. I initially worked with Sonya, who was a huge help during the early planning stages. She helped me pull together my ideas and gave great recommendations on what would work best for our venue, the Powel Crosley. Her expertise really made a difference in bringing our vision to life.

Later on, I transitioned to working with Alexa, who was truly amazing! She was incredibly organized and stayed on top of every detail, which gave me peace of mind throughout the entire process. From the tasting to the big day, everything was flawless. The food was absolutely fantastic—my guests couldn’t stop raving about it, saying it was some of the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Puff n Stuff was also very accommodating with our food choices, allowing us to swap in and out dishes that worked best for us and our guests.

On the day of the wedding, the staff was incredibly friendly and professional. They truly went above and beyond to make sure every single guest was taken care of. I can’t thank Puff n Stuff enough for making our wedding day so perfect. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch catering, bar services, and rentals. They exceeded all of our expectations!“

“Planning a family reunion in a City you don't live in then trying to find a cater can be stressful. But, Eve's Catering is amazing. I probably called or texted more than they wanted, but they were patient and courteous. Now the food, the salmon with that sauce, was sooooo good. The family enjoyed everything. They even did a plate just for a family member who couldn't have dairy. If I could take them to all my functions, I would. I'm not one to post reviews, but this one was a must. Thank you, Chef Eric and team, absolutely amazing. Tell the team thanks for helping with the setup, too. Much appreciated. Sorry, I was too busy eating to take pictures.
HHH Family“

“Lauren and the entire Good Food Events + Catering team are awesome! I worked with them recently for a client's wedding at Station House St Pete. The client was SO happy, and I was very impressed with how great their food and service was. I will definitely be working with them in the future to fulfill clients' wedding day dream needs!“

“The food here is just simply amazing. everything is well. seasoned great portions and you won't be disappointed. Their empanadas are literally the best I've ever had. If you're in the mood for some good Spanish food or just a great breakfast, this is this place.“

“I am an event planner and have worked with Tastes of Tampa Bay several times. Their food is always delicious and their presentation is always gorgeous. They always have a positive attitude and are willing to go above and beyond for my clients.“

“Always a great meal, everyone that visits us from out of town we bring here and they love it also. Thank you guys for all that you do.“

“First time here today. Food is delicious! My new spot!“

“Our experience with Gaston’s Culinary Services for my husband’s 75th birthday party was absolutely amazing, exceeding all our expectations!! Our guests raved over the pan seared salmon with mango salsa, bourbon chicken, chive mashed potatoes, and the southern style green beans. The spinach & artichoke dip appetizer was also a big hit. The presentation was beautiful, adding a special touch to the celebration! Kathy was very patient in the planning process. She made it easy and eliminated a lot of stress for me. The other staff: Chef Joi, Danyell and Fabiola were very professional, friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that the party was a big success! Chef Gaston even came to oversee and make sure everything was perfect! We highly recommend Gatson Caterers for any event… they are truly exceptional.“

“Just had lunch here and it was absolutely worth every penny. I had the lamb bowl and it was bigger portion than what I expected! Awesome for those looking for something not to light nor heavy!“

“Cindy did the most wonderful job!! My daughter wanted a very low key wedding, however I wanted it to be perfect! We put all the food in their hands, down to the wedding cake!! I cannot say enough good! She always returned my calls within minutes, when I was going crazy! The food was delicious!! Really better that delish if that is possible!! Very highly recommend!!“

“Details below:

Food - mouth watering!
Price - very competitive!
Customer Service - great!

One of my new favorite food trucks; was looking for lunch and the prices and selection appealed to me. Ordered the Cuban for $7.50 - and it was terrific, great taste, and huge - I like to eat, and had to save half for later! The gentlemen running the truck was also very nice, and while waiting for my food it started pouring — he told me to go wait in the car and he’ll run it out, which is a small thing but highly appreciated, as other places may overlook that small part of the experience.

Will definitely be coming here more often!“

“We chose Port-A-Pit BBQ because we wanted our caterer to provide food that our guests would remember and talk about, and Port-A-Pit did not disappoint! I didn't think it was possible to describe BBQ as gourmet, but they somehow did it! The meats were very succulent and the side dishes were full of flavor. We had been raving about their food since our initial tasting, and we are so pleased with our wedding meal.“

“Chef Gabriel and Jacquelyn were amazing. They both communicated effectively before my event. I held a birthday party for 20 people. My mother was extremely happy with the service that was provided by the both of them. The food was to die for! I've never hired a private chef before, so for this being my first experience I was very please. I will definitely use Chef Gabriel in the future!“

“AMAZING!! Chef Jorge cooked the most wonderful meal for our family last night in celebration of my mother’s birthday. He bought everything fresh the day of, and served us a 7 course dinner. Everything tasted delicious and was exactly to our specifications. It was so nice having the relaxing environment of our home rather than going to a steakhouse. I have small kids so it was wonderful when they got bored to just send them to another room to watch a movie rather than an embarrassing melt down at Ruth Chris etc. also, nice to be able to serve our own wine and not pay inflated restaurant prices! I highly, highly recommend. My parents want him over every week! Thanks Chef Jorge!“

“I booked with this Chef over the past weekend & I couldn’t have been more happier with the services I received!From our initial conversation to the delivery of the food, Chef EB was extremely professional, punctual and super helpful! (She even assisted me with brainstorming a menu) - which was absolutely delicious!Chef also arrived & set up earlier than the scheduled time!I’m so glad I choose EBBY Bites & appreciate the phenomenal service!“

“We had a big Brunch Celebration Party for my son's 35th, husband's 70th and house 100th Birthday and our 42nd wedding Anniversary. All the food from Joan's Catering was absolutely delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented! The two servers and bar tender could not have been more helpful and with it! High top tables and tableclothes came exactly when arranged. It is a rare experience to give praise that everything was Excellent!“

“Excellent customer service, delicious food, and all for a great cause! We ordered over 80 boxed lunches for staff at an elementary school. I emailed a spreadsheet of everyone’s order and they took it from there! All the lunches were delivered with labels of what was inside AND they also labeled each person’s name—made it easy for me! The portion sizes were large and the food quality was excellent. I heard a lot of remarks about how delicious everything tasted. I’d highly recommend them for staff lunches or your next event.“

“them oxtails and meatloaf is the real deal.“

“Drove up from Brandon for lunch here. Very nice place and a huge buffet. Cheaper lunch during the week. I’m a long time Indian buffet eater. There’s not many places for an Indian Buffet left in Tampa.“
