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!)

It was noticed and it's appreciated! ❤ ~#supportlocalbusiness“

“We used Waiter's Choice for our wedding on October 29, 2022 and cannot say enough good things about our experience! We worked closely with Katie throughout our experience and wedding planning and she was amazing and a true professional. She helped us with multiple tastings to choose just the right food. Choosing what we wanted was difficult because everything was fantastic! After our wedding many of our guests commented on how delicious the food was and how wonderful the staff was. I would highly recommend using Waiter's Choice Catering to anyone looking for amazing food and wonderful customer service!“

“Great service and fantastic sandwiches.“

“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.“

“I've come to them quite a few times and the customer service is always outstanding. I normally get the jerk chicken and oxtail combo which is one of my favorites. however I've never been disappointed with any of the main dishes or sides that I've ordered. food is always delicious great portions and it's always nice to feel like the food that you are getting is authentic“

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

“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!.“

“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!“

“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!!!!!!!“

“if you are looking for a healthier way of eating this should be your choice. Keto, Vegan or just a wel balanced meal. I promise you will not be left feeling hungry or unsatisfied.“

“Me and my friend came here since blue taj is closed from 2:30-5pm and when I say we will DEFINITELY be coming back I mean it!! The food has so much flavor and the service is great! Our food came
out in a timely manner and was super fresh and hot! At the end I asked them if their butter chicken is made with tree nuts like most places and they said no which is a HUGE plus because now my boyfriend can come here and try it too! So excited I found this place! 100/10“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“I’ve had milkshakes from here several times and it’s always amazing! Plus the employees are extremely kind! I cannot remember the last time I had such a good experience with service employees. Jacob (hope I spelled that correctly) was fun and very nice. He made me feel welcome and had an actual conversation with me. He informed about the different flavors too. I know Ben & Jerry’s is kind of pricey but the quality of products and services was worth it.“

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

“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!!!“

“awesome food with flavor“

“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. ❤️“

“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.“

“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.“

“From the moment we walked in, we were greeted. The gentleman at the register was very helpful in explaining the menu options and what suited a group of 4. The family pack was portioned well and more than enough food for the price. They brought out the food and were all very friendly. The ribs and pulled pork were delicious. The potato salad was perfect and the peach cobbler was still hot with great flavor and texture. I just wish they had more drink options. Everything was clean including the bathrooms. Overall a great experience!“

“First time having a private brunch and honestly chose the best person ever.. Everything was top tier and seasoned to perfection me and my girlfriend tore that food up. Highly recommend very fast and the sweetest person ever seem like I’ve known her for years.. Wouldn’t chose no one else for a private chef when I’m in charlotte. Thank you again for everything ❤️❤️“

“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!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“I work for doordash on the side. I went and picked up an order from your location today and the service was amazing! The employees went above and beyond to help me and to make sure I had everything I needed before I left. I would recommend you guys to everyone and anyone!“
