I threw a dinner party for 10 and everyone has been bragging to anyone who will listen about how much fun and great this was. The food was beyond amazing and the experience was more than I could’ve asked. I will do this again!!!! I can’t say thanks enough!“

“The restaurant is truly missed along with the desert pies... the best home cooked restaurant in Charlotte and now Greg Anderson still brings the taste of memories are made of with the catering company... DELICIOUS!!!“

“I used Waiter’s Choice for my May wedding and highly recommend them. The food was delicious - we had lasagna and Tuscan chicken. I definitely recommend doing the tasting since that helped us weed out some appetizer options we were on the fence about since they were honest about which was store bought vs homemade. We had some issues initially since we weren’t told our initial contact left the company, but once we got transferred to Margie everything was smooth sailing - she’s amazing! Day of service was great too. Great company.“

“Food is Amazing. The VA owner is a great guy!“

“Good chicken wings & fries at Club Vibrations last night!“

“I had the pleasure of working with Best Impressions last weekend at the Barrel Room at Triple C Brewing. Lindsay was wonderful to work with from the very beginning and the day of was no exception.

I would definitely recommend Best Impressions to anyone looking for a wonderful caterer for their special event!“

“We are constantly in search of the best Gobi Manchurian, this place has a great dish. Highly recommend. They were very accommodating with kids and spice levels. Everything we had was fresh and flavorful. Obvious everything was made in house. Will go back when in town.“

“Listen up folks!! You need to order food in for your crew, be it a staff meeting, training, or just a treat....this place is AMAZING! I have ordered from them twice now in the past month or so and their meals are impressive to say the least! You get exactly what you oder, its package VERY neatly and courteous of wet versus dry items, super fresh, delivered on time, and very large portions! (Not to mention it's delicious!) If you are looking for something different then what you always get...THIS IS IT! Give them try! Thank you Apple Spice for putting care into every meal! It was noticed and it's appreciated! ❤ ~#supportlocalbusiness“

“If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding STOP. You just found the right one. Stop searching. Delectables By Holly simply put is just perfection! I am not one to ever write reviews because I usually dont believe what people write. But I felt this was incredibly important to say. My step daughter got married on June 2, 2024 and we hired Holly and her team to cater and bartend the event at an historic venue in Rockhill, SC called the Historic Robertson Homestead. An incredibly beautiful venue with a setting that is magical. The reception took place in the most beautiful barn you ever saw. Holly and her team were responsible for providing all the food and bartending for a crowd of about 150 people. Not only was the food incredible but the service and staff were exceptional. From the moment they arrived until the time they left (which happened to be in the pouring rain by nights end) it was an utterly perfect melody of teamwork and professionalism that words alone can't describe. The first thing I did was call Holly and thank her. In a world where no one seems to care anymore or service is just average, Holly and her team set the standards above and beyond. We area forever grateful for all they did to make this such a memorable and heartfelt event. One we will never forget. Did I say the food was delicious? It was DIVINE!!!! So from the bottom of our hearts, to everyone at Delectables By Holly, THANK YOU for being so incredibly amazing!!!!!!!“

“I am a Charlotte area event planner and Taste of Heaven was my caterer for the most recent wedding I produced. They did excellent work! The food was phenomenal especially the soulful eggrolls #yummy I would highly recommend them for any event but especially for a wedding.“

“Of course I had to try it out for support!!! But let’s talk about this salad!!! I used Absolutely no salad dressing. The flavor of the mix lettuce was just amazingly great. I had gotten 2 different meats and shrimp 🥴. I have never been a person on cold shrimp and it was my first time adding shrimp to a salad. I got it to go and thought it was a good idea to try this salad on 77 around 2:30 while driving “that was not a smart thought” !!! I wish I recorded my reaction when all that flavor hit my whole mouth!! 🤦🏽‍♀️ I rushed home to eat!!! AMAZING ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ yes 10!!! And the young lady that fixed it for me was very professional and sweet!!“

“10 STARS The tags don’t express how I feel about Uptown Catering. Mike, Jimmy and Nick and the crew are all SOOO AMAZING!! I love my caterers. The food is amazing and tastes delicious. Seasoned well not bland at all. They send a team to set up decor and the food is delivered hot and ready to go. They are prepared with more food to keep the trays from being empty and the staff is always friendly and helpful. They even walk around the event space and pick up plates and cups. Just top Notch customer service all across the board. The difference with them than other caterers that I’ve used is that they take the time to find out what you really want and need and they make it happen. AND super reasonably priced. I love these guys. I use them for everything! Happy Holidays. Book your holiday party asap.“

“SMS Catering Services is a hidden gem! I had never heard of it nor ever attended an event there until today! It had beautiful outdoor scenery and space as well as a spacious indoor entertaining area and the food was delicious! It is the perfect location for a wedding or any event to accommodate indoor and outdoor festivities!.“

“Passion catered our wedding and it was all delicious! Camille was so flexible with scheduling the tasting and meeting dietary needs of guests! We got many compliments on the food and my husband still talks about the brussel sprout dors d'oeuvre!“

“Today, Beth Moore and her team served delicious and nutritious dinners at Taylor & Alex's wedding at Dairy Barn in Fort Mill. The team's service was exceptional and the food was amazing. Great job and I highly recommend them!“

“Absolutely fantastic food and even better service. Taylor's takeover as GM blasted City Barbecue into the stratosphere. I love service that feels more like a casual meet with a new friend, rather than a clinical transaction; and Emily and Alex go above and beyond in this regard every time. I would do unholy things for a Smokehouse Salad with brisket, hardboiled egg tossed in, smothered in the house Chipotle Ranch and Brushfire sauce. Keep on rocking.“

“Delicious Baked Goods Savory & Sweet❣️ The Employees Who Work There Were Very Helpful & Welcoming❣️ The Wonderful Manager Checked In On Us, To See If Everything Was To Our Liking❣️ This Place Is Top Notch‼️ Just Yummy❣️😋❤️“

“Amazing food! we had her catering service and she did amazing!“

“My wife, two of our friends, and myself entered the store around 9pm ish. It’s the summer in the south and I imagine it had been even busier earlier. Owen provided exemplary customer service. The icecream was cold and delicious. We will be stopping by again soon with these 90+ temps and oppressive humidity! Great location as well. We were able to sit outside on a patio area and chat for an hour it. Great vibe and trees round the area.“

“We hired Dan & Debbie to cater our sons graduation party for 60 people! The food arrived on time, hot and tasted amazing!!! It was a hit and all the brisket, turkey & chicken wing went fast! We ordered enough, but people went back for 2nd & 3rds! Banana pudding was the “excellent” cherry on top! They are our favorite BBQ place in town, especially the Brisket!!!“

“My sweet baby had the opportunity to attend Lil Chef’s cooking class this summer with Chef London!! My baby had a blast each day and she cooked an array of delightful meals. From this camp she gained leadership skills, confidence, cooking skills, customer service skills, and also her willingness to try different foods that she wouldn’t normally eat. While my baby was at Lil Chef’s cooking camp she cooked Tacos and the sides, Soul food, homemade cookies and many other things. Chef London is a wonderful role model for this community and I look forward to sending my baby next year.“

“I had a food truck in Charlotte and chose to be part of the City Kitch community. The atmosphere was fun, kitchen maintained clean, staff working there are friendly, clients friendly. City Kitch was good to me as a client. I miss working out of there.

As a customer, the experience has been great with these local small business as I like to support.

Happy kitchen, good food, good service.“

“So enjoyed our evening with Ernie! A belated Christmas gift for my husband and dad, Ernie created a fabulous meal of white pizza, jalapeño poppers, spatchcock chicken/smoked Gouda/prosciutto, veggies and berry crumble. All on cast iron over the grill. Amazing food and wonderful company. Thank you, Ernie!“

“Garrett has catered excellent dinners for us for many years. I was surprised to see a surge of negative reviews, all posted at the same time from various individuals. You must ask yourself how that could be true while so many of us have appreciated Garrett’s excellent service for many years. Ridiculous!“

“I have known chef Charles for many years, he is an amazing chef and a great human being. I would recommend him to anybody.“

“😍The staff was so professional and friendly; the food was delicious and perfect for the event! I highly recommend this catering service to anyone.“

“I cannot give enough praise to Ms. Elliott, who is truly a sweetheart with such a kind spirit, and her team. The food is amazing and the service is phenomenal. The Eloquent Creations Catering Team are true professionals that put a great deal of care and personal touches into each client. 6 out of 5 stars *smile*!“

“Many thanks to Chef Corey for making our event so special. They know how to move a crowd and the food was delicious. Very professional staff. Thank you. ❤️“

“southern smoke catering did our wedding in August. The food was amazing and the staff was great. our guest was still talking about how great the food was weeks after our wedding. Thank You for the great service“

“😃Mama E's was served very delicious food to our Family Reunion and our Uncle Buck's 99 th Birthday Party. We thank you and your experience chefs..“

“I came to Kosher Charlotte today for lunch, and while the food was absolutely delicious, what truly stayed with me was the atmosphere. Most restaurants want you to eat and leave. Not this place. Here, I felt welcome to stay, to breathe, to connect. It almost felt like I was back in Israel, sitting around a table for Friday night Shabbat dinner—with friends gathering, unhurried, at peace. The people were so kind and genuine. It wasn’t just a meal—it was a moment of calm, of warmth, and of belonging. As a non-Jewish person, I just want to say thank you. Thank you for welcoming me with such open arms and for creating a space that nourishes more than just the body. I can’t wait to come back.“

“We catered food from Tai's kitchen for a get-together. All the food items were delicious and our guests enjoyed them!“

“The food was great, and the service was also great! I will definitely be returning with more people. The atmosphere is also nice and the people are very helpfull and friendly!“

“service, cleanliness, friendliness, food was fresh and delicious..I'm from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and I would recommend it to any and everybody“

“Yesterday my husband and I said I do with a cozy intimate backyard wedding! We wanted to keep it casual with a food truck and when we tasted taco green-go we knew it was the perfect choice! They had a variety of options so everyone had something they would like and everything was fresh and hot! I was concerned of a long line forming when time came to serve food but they went above and beyond with preparation so the wait time was basically non existent. I would highly recommend taco green-go to anyone who wants a delicious variety of food that all your guests will love!“

“This City Barbecue restaurant is so good. It's so hard to decide what to get on the menu because everything looks delicious. I wish we could get every single side. The barbecue sandwich was great and delicious 😋. My kids love it and ate everything. It's also quick when everyone is hungry. It's a good place to stop after soccer at the Matthews sportsplex. We loved the corn pudding and the hush puppies and the cornbread and the green beans with the bacon are so delicious. We're definitely coming back to this City Barbeque.“

“Nana’s Porch grilled burgers, and provided sides at our backyard event last weekend. We had many compliments on both the food and the staff. The burgers were great, as were the sides. The team that came was so nice, very personable and attentive. I will definitely use them again!“
