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!“

“oh my goodness phenomenal food phenomenal staff inside is clean as hell. don't let the location fool you ... this place is a hidden diamond“

“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.“

There were a couple of small delays with setup, but the staff handled it well, and everyone enjoyed the meal. I'd recommend them for their quality and professionalism, just be sure to confirm timing in advance!“

“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. She and the entire staff were so professional, polite and accommodating. On top of that, the food was AMAZING! I would definitely recommend Best Impressions to anyone looking for a wonderful caterer for their special event!“

“I've come to them quite a few times and the customer service is always outstanding.

“had no idea this place existed until my workplace ordered lunch from here. Hands down the most spectacular lunch I have had in a while! Freshly baked bread for the sandwiches, a freshly baked cookie, sandwich sauce (yum), York peppermint patty. dill pickle strip and other condiments, plus a bag of chips. My box contained potato salad (amazing) and I took someone else's fish-eye salad or pasta...never heard of and I am very southern....not sure if it is a southern delicacy or not, but OUT OF THIS WORLD good! By the way, it is a sweetened pasta.....no fish eyes...promise! 50000 stars!!“

“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!!!!!!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“This is a modern salad made to order place. There's a line you go through and either get a pre conducted salad or tell them what you'd like. Having been to a number of places like this I was ready. The ingredients were fresh and the quality was definitely above. In particular the proteins we're cooked better and seemed to be of higher quality. It's not cheap but comparatively worth it IMHO. Oh and get the pita chips. The dining area at this location is a little small and not formal but there's outdoor seating. Recommend.“

“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.“

Happy kitchen, good food, good service.“

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

“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 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*!“

“I had my wedding catered and hosted the reception by FDY in May of 1991 at their original location off Clanton Road. I recently ran into FDY at a Gala and Keith and his entire family were as nice as I remembered from 32 years ago!! Four kids later, we are now in the market of finding a caterer for my son's wedding. I will be reaching out to FDY if they still do weddings or can recommend someone. I am so happy for all their success over the years. It's well deserved! It is so rare to find a company who treats you like family. If I could give 10 stars, I would.“

“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. ❤️“

“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!!!“

“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!“

He was personable, pleasant and the ice cream was delicious as always. Definitely wanted to give him props for great customer service.“

“Kosher Charlotte / HaPina is absolutely delicious! My kids and the whole family love the food and the atmosphere is homey and family-friendly. Their food is fresh, tasty, and varied. The staff is so warm and kind. We also really loved the Shabbat catering which tastes homemade - don’t miss the hummus! Highly recommend.“

“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!“

“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!“

“We were at the boardwalk and decided to stop by to try the food. The ribs were great. I have no complaints. The sides weren’t really my favorite. Not bad but just not as good as the ribs and also my bread was burnt. The tea tasted great though. I think the okra was okay. I am not used to okra fried that way but it was okay. It was extremely hot in the building but I don’t blame them. It was a bit uncomfortable a tad bit. However, it could definitely be outside of their control. Lastly, they seemed so tired and I was a little empathetic for them. Overall, it was decent and I would come back for the ribs for sure.“

“This food is really good! I enjoyed everything, I ordered. I will be ordering again. Thank you, 31 flavors, for such flavorful food and great service!“
