Service leaves a lot to be desired. But what made me post this is arrogance . Terrible attitudes and worse pricing even in this era of high cost everything

Food was good, they seem to have seasonal(?) specials besides their regular menu. Seating is limited as the name suggests.

Very solid choice for pickup. Tasty, fairly healthy and good prices. Everything made on site with good ingredients.

I used them to cater an event last summer and people are STILL talking about how delicious the food was! And not just one item stood out, everything was fantastic! They were so accommodating and helpful; really enjoyed working with the staff. Also, I used the small event catering option where I picked up the food vs them bringing it and having staff at the event. It was exactly what I needed for the event as it wasn't too big. I highly recommend them!

I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the menu and catering was here. EAT catered an event for us on campus yesterday and it was the best experience! They arrived early, set up was a breeze, and all of the food was delicious! (I tried one of everything) they by far have the best sweet potato pie I’ve ever had. I will definitely recommend EAT for future catering events and plan to frequent the restaurant more!

I prevented covid-20 when I took a bite of the cubano sandwich which was so euphoric it gave me prescient vision. You're welcome.

We hired Eat to cater our wedding this summer, and, as much as we really wanted to like working with them, it was entirely frustrating and we would not recommend them to anyone in the future.The Good: The best part of working with Eat was that they handled the rentals for dishes, utensils, water goblets, and champagne flutes, and we appreciated that we were easily able to upgrade to gold flatware. They would have handled the rentals for linens as well, but they were far more expensive than just buying them ourselves. We also LOVED our bartenders (Scotty & Zhandy), who were hired through Eat. Being able to add on a late night snack was also a fun aspect of working with Eat. We added the build-your-own coney dog bar, and it went over well with our guests.The Bad: Working with Kayla was anything but easy. I overlooked a lot of red flags, writing them off as, "She's probably super busy since 2021 is a hectic wedding year after 2020 being a bust". And I'm sure that Kayla was busy, but when we are spending a large chunk of money for catering, we expect a certain level of professionalism. Kayla was not timely at all and was so disorganized. To give some examples--1) when trying to schedule a tasting, it took almost a month and 2 follow-up emails to her just to hear back about availability, 2) she never told us anything about rental deliveries coming on Friday to drop off and back on Sunday to pick up--a little heads up that we would be asked to sign paperwork at both times and have to help the delivery person find/collect missing dishes would have been nice...how were we suppose to know where the catering team hid the dessert plates??, 3) when we had a phone call to go over the final timeline (which was at her request), she was totally unprepared--she said she had misplaced our papers, which resulted in us having to go over things we had already gone over multiple times, and 4) well after our wedding took place, we still had to ask multiple times and in multiple ways (text, email, phone call) to get a final invoice from her--we just wanted to pay our bill and wash our hands of everything.The Ugly: We've enjoyed the food at Eat for several years now, but we were totally let down on the day of our wedding. The au gratin potatoes were incredible when we went in for our tasting; we were so excited about these potatoes, in fact, we were between the risotto and these potatoes as a starchy side dish and ultimately chose the potatoes. Bad decision...the potatoes were absolutely disgusting at our wedding; no flavor, dry, congealed and not creamy at all (despite being described as creamy in their description). I cannot express how disappointing these potatoes were the day of our wedding. We didn't even take the leftovers with us they were so gross. Additionally, the first platter of salmon that was brought out was raw and slimy--totally unacceptable. My husband brought a fork of the fish back to the kitchen and he said no one could even look him in the eyes. Honestly, the best part of the meal was the salad and bread, if that tells you anything.

Eat Ann Arbor is amazing! I had them cater a 90 person event. The food was fabulous and the guests went back for thirds! They are responsive and punctual. I highly recommend!

We LOVE this place! Appropriately priced, fresh , real food. Several options for noncarnivors, but not vegan.(can be). I try to be a dedicated home cook but when that isn't feasible EAT never disappoints. Best chocolate pudding around.

Pretty good food that uses seasonal ingredients. Floor was sticky the last two times I've been there.

I showed up because I am new to the area and heard so much about this place. I am not a picky eater so I just told the server to give me whatever he would eat if he was on break! He did NOT disappoint! The food was great and cooked fresh!My server's name was Brendan and he was awesome! He asked what my son's name was and as unique as it is, Brendan is the ONLY person that has ever acknowledged it's origin! (Zidane)I was blown away by the amazing customer service, the food was awesome! Thank you so much!
