I was looking for a caterer for a milestone birthday party and spoke to Drew. As soon as I mentioned that I had to be budget conscious, he said that I should be most concerned with the experience of the guests. He was supposed to follow up with some ideas and NEVER DID! I guess understanding that some people have limited budgets did not appeal to him. He does, after all, do mostly big corporate events and may just not want to entertain a less profitable, low key event for 50 or so... I found a very friendly, family owned, flexible catering company. The owner communicates and collaborates with me despite my limited budget.

I contacted Drew to cater a painting party for my daughters upcoming wedding. I ordered sandwiches and salads for the event. Everyone commented on how delicious and fresh everything was. The sandwiches were not skimpy.. they were generous with ingredients and sooo good. Don’t hesitate to use Cricket Catering…. You will be so happy did!!! Thank you Drew ?

Could not recommend Drew and Cricket Cafe Catering enough!! With this being the first event I have hosted on my own, Drew walked through every detail about the event to really understand the vibe I was trying to create. He cared so much about the space, attendees, set-up, and overall flow of the event that it felt like I was talking to a family member the entire time. He is so incredibly passionate about food and it truly showed when we talked through and created a customized menu for my parent's Wedding Anniversary Party and had such a diverse yet beautifully curated selection of food. EVERY SINGLE GUEST could not stop raving about the delicious every single thing was at the event, with some of the older folk saying it was "the best catered food they've ever had". Both Drew and Edgar were so incredibly kind and helpful, even with things that didn't have to do with food! I will forever recommend everyone to Cricket Cafe & Catering and will use them for all of my future events.

I placed an online order to pick up after the Waltham cafe was closed. When I got there two polite employees were waiting with my order. When I got it back to the office, I realized it was not what I thought I had purchased. I called and got the owner. He was very nice and immediately apologized. It was a misunderstanding on both our parts--what I thought I was getting and that the website didn't offer a lot of details. The owner immediately credited me back with part of the order. His approach and the credit are excellent customer service. What we did get was quite tasty. We will definitely be returning.

Without a doubt Cricket Catering was THE BEST decision I made when planning my niece's engagement party. Drew was incredibly professional and easy to work with leading up to the event. We discussed and created an innovative menu which EVERY SINGLE PERSON loved. The day of, they arrived in plenty of time, surveyed our space and made it work. The team was professional, communicative and executed flawlessly. Everyone raved about the food. AND...the kitchen was spotless when they left. I seriously can't say enough good things about Cricket Cafe & Catering. I don't live in the area but would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone for any type of event.
Sadie Palmer
Highly recommend for catering! I received so many compliments on the food.

Wow just wow. Absolutely AMAZING. First cater company selected by my job out of many that the food was a solid 5 stars. The sandwiches are so flavorful and fresh. The cookies are just incredible and soft. Thank you so much for a wonderful lunch, I will definitely be reordering from you guys.

Weston. Food was AMAZING. We had pulled pork sliders, 1/2 order of homemade potato salad,1/2 order of cucumber salad and a brownie. The service was pnenonminal, lady was very friendly and helpful. I had had trouble with the fb page and trying to order for a couple days. They finally helped me with giving out their own # to order from. You have to give a time when you r coming so it can be ready w no waiting. We picked noon they open at 1130. You walk under a tent pay, then they bring it to your vehicle to keep safe distancing. They have clambake and other fish items on saturdays. Sundays is barbecue. They also have a resturant for breakfast and lunch on Main st in Waltham center. During rest of week. The pulled pork sliders were very big , juicy and lots of meat. The salads were both homemade like from your own kitchen. Potato salad had just the right amount of mayo and seasonings. I really loved the cucumber salad. Its surprise ingredient was oranges. Wow such a shock. It didn't over power the rest of salad. It was light and very refreshing. It had lots of colorful ingredients. Like a rainbow of colors and flavors. I was a little disappointed in the brownie too dry for me. But everything else was a 10 plus and looking forward to going again and trying a different sandwich but will def get bigger salads for sure.
They delivered to me today in Quincy as i ordered their specials.The steak tips and bbq chicken was cut with a butter knife.BEST DELIVERED FOOD in my 58 years of life. Thank You!!!

I work within the building and used their website to order breakfast at 10:30 (I go on a 15 min break at 11) so I set the pick up time to 11. I get down there and they DIDN'T have my breakfast pre made. On top of that they said their WiFi for the website was DOWN. I think it should of said something on the website when their tech is down. They offered to have it ready by lunch? First off, I want breakfast not lunch. And I also PRE PAID over $9.00 for a meal that wasn't ready. I am very dissapointed in this company. There is always something going wrong. Do not recommend. Definitely needs some work to improve customer satisfaction.

Everyone has that one memorable meal that every time you think about it, or talk about it, you can taste it. Often, it's a meal you know you will never have again, and, although you have had other meals just like it, it will never be the same as that ONE meal. When you talk about it, you make your audience want it too (rightfully). Well, it seems I am veering away from singling out one meal as being the sole trophy holder of my taste buds, and, leaning towards working on building a small list (if you will), because, Cricket Café has introduced me to the most delicious turkey sandwich I ever had in my life. I know, I know, it's a TURKEY sandwich, you got sandwich meat, bread, mayo, BOOM, lunch is served. Believe me you, I wrapped my head around this too, I even tried recreating it (came close) but, you just can't replicate perfection. Little did I know that when my company ordered lunch for a meeting that one sunny day in June, my lunch game would be changed forever. In fact, ALL of the sandwiches we had were such a hit in that small meeting of 8 that, a few weeks later, we ordered around 100+ lunchboxes (sandwich, chips, cookie) for our annual Hackathon attendees. Then, the unthinkable happened, I found them on GRUBHUB. Folks, looking for your favorite food spots on GrubHub is no different than food shopping when hungry or browsing Amazon when you can't sleep, it's good in theory BUT, in the end, you will have post-indulgence regret (which, we all know isn't really regret). Beautiful regret, on a full, satisfied tummy. I am not saying we have, I am not saying we haven't placed at least one order per week at Cricket Café since .. or a breakfast order (today). Don't judge. Cricket Cafes turkey sandwich to me, is what the moist-maker is to Ross (google it). I have also added a handful of colleagues to my turkey sandwich-loving circle. If you love food, and, supporting small-local businesses, check out Cricket Café. You will not be disappointed. PS: If anyone is curious of my #1 most memorable meal, it is a slice of cheese pizza from Bianchi's on Revere Beach.

Drew has catered 4 events for me over this past year. Each event has ranged from 20-40 people and each required a different level service. Drew understood my needs and was very transparent with each situation. The price and quality of the food are exceptional. The Cricket team continues to impress me! I received many gracious compliments from my guests every time I order from Cricket! Thanks guys!
