The service was timely and excellent. The preparation was perfect for a very large group I would strongly recommend them for their communication and their expertise!

We used SporkBytes to cater our wedding and had fantastic food and great service. We loved sharing food from our favorite restaurants with our guests. The catering staff was excellent and ensured that our wedding ran smoothly. Special thanks to our coordinator, Harrison, who was attentive to our menu changes, flawlessly coordinated our rentals, and worked with our day-of coordinator to match our timelines. We are so happy that we used SporkBytes! They exceeded our expectations and made our day truly special.

We have been using Spork to cater a variety of events for the office, and have been genuinely impressed by the “white glove” service and level of professionalism from all staff we’ve encountered. Delivery staff has been punctual, communicative and thorough, and Harrison and the customer-facing team have been extremely helpful in building menus and accommodating all our needs!Being able to support local restaurants is a the cherry on top! We serve a diverse group of people with a variety of dietary needs, and Spork has been able to accommodate a host of dietary preferences to provide a more inclusive experience overall :)Five stars!!

They are the BEST in catering delivery!I have people to feed and they make it so incredibly easy for me being an office manager and event coordinator. Feeding x amount of people with allergies or dietary restrictions is a breeze and multi day, several different times they got it! I've been using them about once a month for a year and consistently prior to Covid19. I never have to worry about whether or not our food will arrive on time or as promised. All the restaurant partners are SO GOOD and I never have any complaints! Absolutely use them over any other food delivery service for anything remotely important and they'll come through! Thanks Angela and thank you Spork Bytes!

Working with SporkBytes was by far the best decision we made for our wedding. We had the pleasure of working closely with Harrison and Amee, who took our vision for the menu and brought it to life. We spent almost 2 years planning our wedding, and in that period, there came about many questions and changes from us, and never once did they raise any issues or approached our requests with reservation. They were always available to meet and check-in, whether through e-mail or Zoom. They always had a positive attitude and a smile on their faces, and that made all the difference. Our menu was quite unique, working and coordinating with 5 different restaurants in Portland. Harrison took the lead, helped us come up with a menu, and offered his professional insight on items to spend more or less on. We ended up going a bit over budget than what we expected (by no one’s fault, just how numbers worked out), but Harrison offered some additional items free of charge to help offset our final number and even honored initial pricing from restaurants if they had increased from previous meetings. We looked forward to every meeting we had with Harrison! We ended up going with a BYOB option for our open bar, and they helped us forecast exactly how much of everything we needed to purchase. Items that we were unable to source, Amee had us covered by the day of the wedding so we didn’t have to scramble and find things with less than 48 hours. Amee was such a joy to work with and I felt relieved knowing Amee would help fill in any gaps. The staff they brought to work our wedding were amazing. They were all kind and respectful. Our 2 bartenders were incredibly friendly. A handful of my guests praised how quickly they served over 130 people in just a few minutes at the start of our cocktail hour, and how lovely they were to talk to. Their staff went above and beyond by staying almost an extra hour to help load our cars with all the leftover alcohol, décor, and miscellaneous items. Two of their staff members saw how overwhelmed we were by all the extra food, and kindly asked us if we wanted to donate it, and that they would take care of it. This wasn’t expected for them to stay behind, but they did it anyway to make sure we still rode the high of our wedding day. Working with SporkBytes was completely stress free, which is almost unheard of when wedding planning. I felt so comfortable and trusted them without any concern. I highly recommend SporkBytes and their entire team. I only wish we could do another wedding just so I could work with them again! Thank you Harrison, Amee, and our SporkBytes Team!

I used Spork Bytes as caterer for my wedding last Summer, and while all of the staff was very friendly my overall experience was a little rough. They offer a lot of options to make the catering more affordable which we really appreciated (free cups, making signs, cheap non-alc beverages, and bringing catering from multiple different food vendors). They also had worked at our venue many times before so they were well-versed in how set up should go and what vendors to use, and all of the servers were friendly and fun to have at the wedding.Unfortunately the communication is where our experience with Spork struggled. I often had to email multiple times to get responses to simple things, always giving about 4+ weeks response waiting time because I wanted to be considerate of how busy the wedding industry is. I had to double email to receive an initial catering guide, then again to get a response to my survey for a personal quote. The main person helping me then moved positions and did not let me know, while I was waiting for responses for pending questions, and then my new point of contact didn’t even know what venue we were using and was cc’ing the wrong venue. I was then moved to work with the HR director for our walk through who was wonderful and much more accommodating to our needs. Many of the items the 2 previous points of contact told me were not doable were a very easy “yes” with the HR director. She did a great job making us feel heard and understanding our questions and concerns, but when we were back to working with one of the original point of contacts, we felt very uneasy as to what to expect on the wedding day since his responses had been so different and attention to detail had been lacking.This original point of contact was asked multiple times for our layout in advance, but did not send the correct one to me until 2 days before my wedding, leaving me to franticly create a seating chart with no help from Spork, literally drawing the layout on excel and placing name tags in order in bags and writing out details which took hours while hosting welcome dinners and rehearsal dinners.The last negative I have is that it’s tradition in my family to eat the wedding leftovers together the next day while opening wedding gifts, so when we were explicitly asked if we wanted our left-overs donated we let them know that we definitely wanted all of the left overs boxed up to take home. We even kept our guest count at 120 knowing that we only had 106 guests at this point. So when I discovered that the Spork staff had taken all of our leftovers home at the end of the night (14 peoples worth) I was very upset with the miscommunication.Again, our entire experience with Spork was not negative, they did have their strengths and we did have all of our food and drinks show up on the day of which we’re thankful for. But I definitely wouldn’t recommend them for a wedding to anyone, maybe they’re just better suited for more casual events.

I cannot say enough good things about Sporkbytes!! What a phenomenal company. We used Sporkbytes to cater our wedding so that we could create a buffet combo from our favorite Portland restaurants and they absolutely delivered. Their ordering process was easy, communication was great, everything was so streamlined and Tim the owner even met us for a venue walkthrough. They are professional, very reasonably priced, fun to work with and the food was DELICIOUS. Multiple guests raved about how good our wedding food was, such a delightful, refreshing surprise from the traditional chicken and fish plates. Staff was so nice and they took care of all clean up. Would use them again in a heartbeat for any large scale events or parties!

Our company loves Sporkbytes. My fellow Executive Assistant and I discovered them driving by one of their delivery vehicles, and are so glad we reached out. Angela and team are always a delight to work with - I love that they take time to provide several catering options within our budget, and we don't have to worry or stress about delivery and setup. They've always been wildly communicative if an issue arises, which is much appreciated. 12 out of 10 stars! We love our partnership with Sporkbytes!

Spork Bites is one of the best catering services in the Portland metros area. They party with a lot of local restaurants. Always have great staff and amazing selections for food that you can pick for your event.

Very easy to work with and accommodating! Have had nothing but stellar experiences with them!

We wanted an unconventional wedding reception that was more small plates and appetizers than a full buffet. The team at Sporkbytes were able to help us plan out flights of hors d'oeuvres throughout the night plus our cake and desserts and all from restaurants that my wife and I love and wanted to share with our guests. The communication between their office with their catering staff were solid and on the day of the reception the food and presentation were executed exactly as we hoped for. Our guests, especially our family members who haven't had a chance to try the restaurants we were ordering from, had only praise to share with us about the quality of the food and the service the staff provided. The team was super attentive to the vibe of our party and were wonderful to our kids.Our night was magical and the food set the tempo for our entire stay. We went from antipasto to Waffle Window. Waffle window to desserts. Desserts to Big's Chicken. And at the end they all came back out together and all our guests were able to find their favorites.Recognitions go out to the bartenders who our thirsty friends enjoyed seeing throughout the night, David the lead who was so thoughtful to our guests including our kids, and the planners Harrison and Tim who were able to interpret our ideas and prep the amazing team we had. Special recognition to the servers whose presence and service made all my guests feel welcomed, the way they got along amongst themselves contributed to the wonderful atmosphere. One server in particular who was able to turn our biggest flight of food into the perfect hors d'oeuvres is a queen! and I thank whoever called her in because she knocked that meal out of the park.10/10 recommend.

Spork Bytes has been an INCREDIBLE partner to work with over the years!!! We used them to cater lunches of 150+ employees and when we pivoted to hybrid work, they came up with a brilliant plan for serving a smaller, more unpredictable headcount. Tim and Harrison are smart and professional individuals with impeccable attention to detail. Would highly recommend for all of your catering needs!

Spork Bytes was great to work with. Everyone was very friendly, professional and quick to respond. The food was on time, very tasty and we produced so much less waste with the reusable containers! I look forward to working with Spork Bytes again soon!
