12th Street Catering

Our non profit used 12th St Catering for our Annual Celebration, our biggest fundraiser of the year. Ian and his team at 12th St were great partners. Communication before and day of event was excellent. The team was responsive to last minute changes including adding tables and re-arranging set up minutes before our event began. Our guests commented on how good the food was and appreciated the variety of options including vegetarian and gluten free. The event staff were friendly and kept the buffets and bars well stocked.

We hired 12th Street Catering to do a delivered lunch for 100 for memorial
reception at the Fleisher Art Memorial. Jordan was easy to talk to and put together a menu for us very quickly. It was all done
with a very short turnaround. The sandwiches were all delicious and everyone talked about the potato salad which was very different and extremely delicious! we had a lot of comments about the food and a lot of local people asked who the caterer was. I would highly recommend. we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Thank you Jordan and 12th Street Catering.

We used 12th St. Catering for a day long celebration that included a bridal shower (Brunch and Bubbly) for 35 and then a family dinner for 25 people.
There were lots of moving parts to the day long festivities but from the very beginning of the planning stages to the actual packing up of the delectable leftovers, Sarah and company were creative, competent, and caring. The food was absolutely delicious with raves coming from guests of all ages. And to top it off we had delicious leftovers so we could relive the wonderful experience once again.
Major kudos to all involved in 12th St. catering especially Michele and Sarah!

We LOVED our experience with 12th Street!! Ian in particular was incredibly communicative and easy to work with! We had so many last minute changes to our event leading up to it and they accommodated everything! We also had less than an ideal amount of time to set up for our event and their staff was so efficient and quick, leading to us still getting our event started on time even when we had doubts. All the food was amazing and our guests loved it (especially the guac bar and the added ice cream bar at the end of our event)! Can't wait for our next event with them!

12th Street delivered a perfect experience, start to finish. Upon first inquiry, they were very responsive. We were paired with Alexis, who communicated clearly and quickly, ensuring all our needs and wants were met. She had us attend a wedding expo to sample
their new menu. After we selected the courses and drinks (cocktails and mocktails), she hosted us for a custom menu tasting which was phenomenal.
I am vegetarian so she was sure to incorporate many options for me that our guests would still enjoy such as falafel waffles and vegetable skewers at the Mediterranean station. We were having a garden wedding at our home and I asked for edible flowers and they added throughout the menu and drinks. They also coordinated all of our rentals.
When it came to the day of, their team showed up on time and ready. They set up the rentals, prepped the food, assembled the bar, and were ready before the guests arrived.
Throughout the night they switched between courses smoothly, were very friendly and accommodating, and all of our guests were very happy with the food and service.
I highly recommend this team for your event!

Loved the food, the service, the planning and support of 12th Street Catering for my father's 90th birthday party. Appreciate the suggestion to host our party at Location 215. Lexi our sales manager was super helpful and the day-of-event team was pleasant and professional!

12th Street Catering did a fabulous job on our son & daughter in law’s wedding. Tori & Doug are so attentive and responsive to every detail and request. The food was plentiful and well prepared and presented, we had a sit down plated 3 course meal with 3 menu choices. Everything was delicious and beautiful, they have very unique hors d’oeuvres as well. We did passed hors d’oeuvres for the cocktail hour and they kept coming, there was no shortage of food!

We used 12th Street Catering for the first time and were completely blown away by the F/B as well as the amazing team that came to work the event. Sarah was also such a pleasure to work with from start to finish. It was quite admirable seeing how the team worked together and I was so pleased with how everything turned out. Our staff and clients all had a wonderful time.

Taken from a previous review, as an events manager, it's such a relief to work with such a reliable catering team.

We'll certainly be using 12th Street again for future events! Thank you guys!

I’ve worked with 12th Street Catering on multiple events, and they are truly outstanding every time. The food is consistently delicious and beautifully presented, and the team is friendly, professional, and incredibly easy to work with.

I’ve especially enjoyed working with Lexi Winterborne—she’s responsive, thoughtful, and always makes sure everything runs smoothly. She’s a real partner in making our events successful.

As an Events Manager, it’s such a relief to have a caterer I can count on. 12th Street offers the best catered food I’ve had, and their service is just as impressive. I highly recommend them!!!

12th street catering was great to work with to provide hors d'oeuvres for our intimate wedding ceremony/cocktail hour in Philadelphia. We worked with Ian Leff to organize the event who was timely in his responses and very professional from beginning to end. Would highly recommend working with this service and would happily hire them again!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with 12th Street Catering after our original wedding food plan unexpectedly changed just two months before the big day. Despite the tight timeline, Peter and his team stepped in seamlessly and created an unforgettable experience for our 130+ guest wedding.

Peter was incredibly effective, quick on his feet, and impressively organized. He brought everything together in a flash without missing a beat. The food was phenomenal, the service was impeccable, and the entire evening was flawless. We are beyond grateful for their expertise and professionalism—truly, we have zero notes. It was absolutely perfect.

This review is a bit overdue. We had our wedding last October at that Academy of Natural Sciences and 12th St catered.

Our experience with 12th St started off very rocky hence the 4/5. I can’t lie I was so disappointed with the woman we had to work with. The first six months of planning were stressful and frustrating especially because they were the exclusive caterer and we had no choice but to work with them.

All that said, I’m glad we stuck it out. As we got closer to the wedding we were informed that the woman we had been dealing with no longer worked for the company and our event was being taken over by Harry who had been with the company for many years.

HARRY SAVED THE DAY!! Planning went from stressful and frustrating to fun and exciting overnight. He was so easy and enjoyable to work with. The food was amazing and beautifully displayed - all of our guests mentioned how delicious it was. 12th st was very flexible with the menu, allowing us to make small changes even to the recipes. They even decorated the stations to accommodate our theme.
I’m so grateful to Harry and the rest of the team for really turning our experience around. Highly recommend 12th St Catering!

Recently worked with 12th Street for a formal event at the Academy of Natural Sciences, and the experience was great. Ian was a pleasure to work with—responsive, organized, and incredibly accommodating as we finalized our plans. He was flexible throughout the planning process, making thoughtful adjustments to stay within our vision and timeline.

On the day of the event, everything ran smoothly. Food was excellent; on-site staff were professional, attentive, and efficient. They made the evening feel seamless and took care of everything down to the final cleanup.

Was impressed by their service and would absolutely recommend 12th Street Catering for any full-service event. Looking forward to working with them again in the future!

Highly recommend Peter Ebenau and his team at 12th street. They flawlessly executed our event with 140 guests. The feedback from our guests on the food and service was outstanding. Very thoughtful preparation and they delivered on everything!

The team was wonderful and easy to work with and made our party wonderful! The food was great and the people all went the extra mile!
