Kangaroo Kitchen catered our March wedding and the entire process was seamless from start to finish! When we booked our venue, I was excited to see Kangaroo on their catering list and knew we wanted to book them since they have a fantastic reputation and are very reasonably priced compared to other caterers in the area. They definitely lived up to their reputation and exceeded expectations! From our tasting to the day of our wedding, Ashley and Roman were both fantastic to work with, professional, and extremely organized. Their staff is amazing as well and I got so many compliments from my guests on the service and the quality of the food. Our lead server the day of, Michelle, and Chef Josh were fantastic during dinner service and made sure everything was running smoothly. They also do a great job accommodating allergies and dietary restrictions. Thank you!

Ordered lunch catering for a high-end corporate event at my office and everything was truly perfect, from the service of the catering staff to the food itself and all the correspondence along the way. Thank you, Chef Roman, Ashley, and the rest of the crew for the "oh wow" experience you created for my guests!

We had Kangaroo Kitchen cater our wedding in December. Ashley was incredibly responsive and great to work with, and the food was amazing! The entire process from tasting to the event was very smooth and stress-free. The charcuterie board was a huge hit at the cocktail hour and we heard many compliments from guests about the appetizers and entrees. We highly recommend Kangaroo Kitchen!

Amazing service and great food.

This is by far the best catering service we have ever had! We booked them for our wedding this summer. They were so easy and accommodating to work with. Their food choices were great and their prices were even better. The day of our wedding people nonstop had nothing but praise for how the service was and the quality and quantity of food. We have already recommended them to other friends getting married and hope to enjoy their food again sometime soon. If only they did take-out!

Kangaroo Kitchen catered my daughter's wedding! The food was amazing! The staff was efficient and friendly and worked well together. Hats off to the chef! From the passed apps to an amazing salad and the beef brisket! So so good! Thank you!

Favorite caterer in GR. Hands down. I’ve used Kangaroo multiple times over the years. So when it was time to choose a caterer for my wedding, I was confident they could knock it out of the park. And they did! The food was amazing, Romen, the owner, made helpful suggestions on the menu and helped craft my “stations” idea. The number one thing guests commented on was the food. They accommodated our guests that were vegetarian and had celiac. Samantha even remembered I didn’t like cilantro and had the chefs leave it out of certain dishes.The staff really went above and beyond. When the rental company showed up over an hour late, they pitched in to set up tables, chairs, linens, and place decorations. You can trust them with your event.

Chef Roman and his team did an incredible job catering our wedding. Due to my inflexible work schedule, we were unable to do a tasting. We ordered what we thought looked best on the menu, and every single item was amazing. I'd never had wedding food that was particularly exciting, but Kangaroo Kitchen manages to make even high volumes of food flavorful and memorable. The staff that worked our wedding were very kind and attentive. I'd highly recommend this team!

Kangaroo Kitchen was amazing throughout the entire process. They were quick to respond and accommodating to any requests. The food was fantastic, everyone is raved about it. They were even thoughtful enough to bring us a couple of the apps from happy hour and send us home with any leftovers.

First, the good: Kangaroo was awesome in many ways. They were responsive, detail oriented, and helpful during the planning process. The apps at our cocktail hour were delicious and the service was good throughout the night. Our tasting was amazing.The bad: When it came to the actual dinner at our wedding, we were pretty disappointed. The portions were much smaller, the plating less attractive, and the taste was totally average wedding food compared to the awesome tasting. Some things about the dishes had definitely been changed for the worse.Additionally, the vendors working at cocktail hour were NOT well-versed in dietary restrictions and allergies. I am gluten free, and no one I asked on the waitstaff could not tell me which passed apps I could eat, even though my husband and I had intentionally picked out multiple GF options. The staff just kept repeating that things were vegetarian, which clearly wasn't helpful. It seems like all of the staff need better training on dietary restrictions. (During planning, a staff member also tried to remove the cheese on everyone's salads for those people who picked the vegetarian entree, assuming everyone was vegan just because they wanted the option without meat). After hearing many wonderful things about Kangaroo, we were pretty disappointed after the big day. Hopefully it was just a fluke for us.

Ashley and Roman were both phenomenal to work with throughout the Kangaroo Catering process. They made wonderful sample dishes and made us confident in our choices for our dishes. The appetizers were incredible. Their staff was so helpful and professional on the day of the event. The dinner turned out excellent. People had enough food to eat to dance all night! The food turned out lovely and people really enjoyed the meal. The food also came out promptly for a plated meal and the staff seemed very organized. Their communication was thorough and thoughtful. Thank you so much again Kangaroo team!

Kangaroo Kitchen did a FABULOUS job with our wedding at the Cheney Place. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff is very knowledgeable about allergens, which coming from a food & beverage background, was very important to me. We received compliments all night long and after the wedding. We had around 175 guests, and with two buffet lines, all guests were fed within 20 minutes which was amazing.Logistically, the team was easy to work with, and all fees were well laid out within the estimate and final bill, and nothing was hidden. I'd highly recommend Kangaroo Kitchen for any event!

WOW!!! If you want amazing food and staff these are the people for you! They were so accommodating, their communication was impeccable, and their food is delicious! We had salmon and chicken that was not dry. A unique salad compared to just a garden salad that you typically see at weddings. My husband and I cannot get over their service. They checked in on us multiple times throughout the evening making sure everything was great and made sure our special accommodations for those with allergies was met. One thing that stood out to me was they created a small plate with all of our appetizers and brought it to my husband and I to make sure we got one of each of our appetizers. So often I hear brides and/or grooms say “I didn’t even get any of our appetizers.” HIGHLY recommend!

I cannot recommend kangaroo kitchen enough!! From the first email to our wedding day 2 years later, Ashley and Chef Roman made it clear how much they care about what they do. The food was PHENOMENAL and days later I am still getting messages about how amazing it was. I can’t thank this team enough for how special they made our big day.
