“Amazing all the way around. Great service, amazing food, and the atmosphere was exactly what I wanted.As you walk in, it can be a little disorienting with so much going on but as you begin to take it in you see how important the local hero’s are. These guys care about the men and women who serve our country. The staff greeted me warmly and when they discovered it was my first time they spent time walking me through the whole menu and explaining the style of food. A gentleman gave me a coupon for a free sandwich as a gift for my first time.I ordered the pulled pork with a side of Mac and cheese. Amazing. Man did it hit! They have lemonade and sweet tea, but I mixed it half and half and my gosh. The food was literally some of the best I had. I used the mission belle and smokehouse sauce. They offer 6 hot sauces on the table. Lisa was cleaning and serving the table, she helped me so much, was very attentive, and cleaned up the table for us. I was taken back.Lisa then offered me a free dessert as a first time visitor. I’ll truly never forget the service and food and can’t wait to bring my family back.I recommend this place wholeheartedly. I had the best time and it was money well spent. The staff is responsive and well trained and so welcoming. You won’t have a bad time here I promise!Shoutout to Lisa, and the Spanish gentleman (was it Justin?) for truly making my first time special.“
“Just tried Performance Meal Prep and it exceeded our expectations! The food is delicious, healthy, and convenient. There are a variety of options to meet everyone’s needs. Our food for the week was delivered to our house on Sunday night and we purchased a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinners. The packaging was perfect for my son to take lunch to school. I will be making weekly purchases!“
“Crocodile Catering was recommended by a colleague to cater my work's Town Hall meeting for 24 people. It was the BEST catering experience that I've had in my 25+ year career. From Lauren's help with the choosing which food would be best for our event (based on dietary restrictions) to the amazing delivery and set-up by Rachel (she was super sweet and helpful of course!) and the AWESOME look and taste of the food, I couldn't have asked for or expected more! :)I had many people come up to me (including my boss) to tell me how good the wraps were and how they really enjoyed the fruit kabobs, crunchy salad and yummy cookies! I have to say, the vegetarian wraps were a HUGE hit and were gone right away and everyone kept asking me for more. Lesson learned to order about half vegetarian wraps in the future. My only regret is that I didn’t get to try a vegetarian wrap, but I will be going to Crocodile Cafe in the near future to order one!“
“I recently had the opportunity to try Sid's BBQ, and I must say it was a fantastic experience. The brisket with KC BBQ sauce was a standout dish that left me craving more. The food was delicious, and the service was top-notch. I highly recommend giving Sid's BBQ a try for a flavorful and satisfying meal that will surely leave you coming back for more.“
“I’ve known Gill and his family for a very long time. Close family friends. They are truly the same way to everyone. Personable, respectful and overall very nice people. Their food is beyond amazing. LEMON CHICKEN! They have been doing our events for a long time. 100%“
“We discovered Tasty Table back in 2018 when they catered our wedding of 150 guests at our clubhouse ballroom. The food and presentation were fabulous, people are still talking about it. We also used them for a less formal 99th birthday for 50 guests at a retirement community and it too was great. We recently hired them for a St. Patrick's Day party at our home for 75 guests and everyone is still raving about the food. The point is Tasty Table provides fantastic and custom menus for any venue you might have big or small. You can't go wrong with George and his staff I'd give them 10 stars if I could.“
“I used Cedar Creek for a Black History Event I was hosting through my job. The theme of the event was a tea party and Cedar Creek did an amazing job. CJ and Chrysta were great to work with when planning the menu. We decided on three different tea sandwiches. I also rented tea cups/saucers and real plates from them. They provided clothlike napkins, disposable silverware, sugars, cream, hot water for tea. On the day of the event CJ delivered everything on time and even help us set up the tables. When the guests arrived they were impressed by the table settings but when they tasted the food they were blown away. The sandwiches were made on freshly baked bread and the fillings were quality ingredients. You could taste in every bite. The food was the star of the show and I have Cedar Creek to thank for that. I would highly recommend and will be using them again.“
“12th St has been an integral part of our day-to-day operations as our preferred caterer at CYTO|PHL. We proudly offer their delicious food to all of our guests as part of the daily experience. The food is fresh, local and creative. CYTO|PHL has hosted seminars, all hands meetings, non-profits, plenaries, CLE's, company launches and much more. Each event is unique and the team at 12th St is always raising the bar with the seasonal menu offerings, amazing customer service and smiling faces. Whether you are hosting 10 or a 1000 you can be certain you are in the right hands.“
“We use Nanas for our Shabbat catering and our students LOVE the food quality and the creativity of the menu. Nanas is such a pleasure to work with, they are very responsive and accommodating to our ideas and any allergies we have. Cannot recommend them enough!!!“
“A great choice for a Christing Party at my house .While we were all at the mass and the baptism (2hr) They came and set up a complete buffet for 25. My dining room table looked amazing. I walked into my amazing smelling house ( like it smells when I cook all day) and did nothing but eat and talk to my guests. That is priceless. The veal parm was an excellent choice as was the penne with rosa sauce. I got many compliments on the food. Bread was delicious. I will do this again. Maybe my Thanksgiving dinner?? Ha no Don't think I can get away with that one.... but definitely my next eagles party!!.“
“I recently had my wedding hosted at Lia's Catering/ Ballrooms at Boothwyn and it was the best decision we ever made!! Everything went so smoothly! We had our ceremony in their lounge room, and it fit our huge wedding guestlist so well! It was so beautiful in the ceremony room - we did an arch from Bonnie's Wonder Garden! Then we had cocktail hour in the Sapphire room - which was just outside the lounge room, so everybody loved being able to get to each room so fast! Then we had our reception in the Main Ballroom - all in the same building! Perfect for a winter wedding. Everything was so beautiful!! We were so appreciative by how nice, kind, patient the staff all are. We had a planner that took care of all of the details. Coordinating our wishes went so easily! I cannot recommend Lia's enough for hosting a wedding. Absolutely stunning - and for a much better price than overpriced venues in the area!“
“This place is a hidden Gem Reminds me of my days as a boy living in South Philly. There were great corner stores on every corner. Placed a phone order. Go there no excuses. No problem. Everything fresh, delicious and ready. The workers were friendly and helpful. This is a great place. I will be back.“
“Found myself headed to Newtown Square and immediately thought I still need to try A Cut Above! So glad I did. While I went in during the lunch hour and there were quite a few waiting, my hoagie was ready pretty quickly and was really good. I would def go again and I’d order on the app ahead, as I was a little worried the people around me were waiting longer than me.Parking: Parking was ok. Bc of the other businesses, i did park a little further, but I don’t mind a walk.“
“We used sage for our wedding and don’t have a single bad thing to say. Cortney was fantastic to work with. Her communication was top notch and her professionalism was great. Our server, Stephanie, was sweet and attentive making sure we were well taken care of on our special day. We received multiple compliments on everything from the apps through the mains. The catering package includes so much, you and your guests will not go hungry! We definitely recommend using them for your wedding!“

“Jerry’s kitchen did my wife’s and my anniversary dinner where we had 75 guests. They provided Buffet Option #1 for us.Everyone there loved the food and it made the event that much more special for us. The main contact for Jerry’s, Scott, was super easy to work with. Very responsive and amenable to any and all requests that we had. His staff was also very easy to work with. We started our event a little late but it was no problem with them.Reasonable pricing, great customer service and high quality food. We would not hesitate to go with Jerry’s kitchen for a future event again!“
“I have been using Philadelphia Catering professionally for years. They have always been responsive, professional and knowledgeable about how to best serve any event I need to plan. I give them an idea of what I'm looking for and they take it from there. I don't have to stress of worry day of the event because they show up on time and are very kind and easy to work with. The food is great and they helped me box up the leftovers for my guest! Can't speak highly enough.“
“This review has been long overdue. Blitz Catering did a fabulous job for my husbands dads repast at the beginning of this year. I’m so sorry for the delay, but better late than never and I just was reminded because one of my family members just text to ask your name and she really enjoyed the food !! That jogged my memory that I never completed your review. Food was absolutely delicious, beautiful set up, provided serving and clean up! She even brought her speaker and played nice background music!! It was well worth the cost. Owner was super sweet, professional, provided great customer service and made things easier for us since we were setting up from out of state. We gave very short notice and was so appreciative she was able to fit us in!!! Thank you Blitz Soulfood your food and service was top tier !! Would highly recommend!!top not“
“Our stay there was pleasant, although just for one night. We had dinner in the restaurant where I enjoyed the tasty grilled chicken with a slightly overcooked asparagus. Service though was great! The fitness Center was a nice surprise. My only setback and disappointment was the very hard pillows which deprived me of a good night's sleep. I would recommend a total pillow overhaul. Besides that, I would definitely recommend Radnor Hotel to anyone. Thanks for a brief but nice stay!“
“This is a great place to have an event. Great staff and manager. Very reasonably priced. Delicious food.UPDATED 9-16-23Food was great (Anthonys restaurant), bartender was super nice, and got into the party spirit. Other staff not so much. Kind of rude and cold, couldn't believe how my food was thrown on my plate. Great party. Nice location.“
“One of my go to spots for lunch when I am working from home. My typical order is a chicken caesar wrap (Amazing!) with a bag of chips and Diet Coke. Easy, quick, and delicious. I will often times grab a Corropolese Tomato Pie as well. Cintrellas has recently completed a beautiful renovation. Expanding into the storefront next door and offering a wider variety of food and treats. With a full menu of hoagies, cheesesteaks, deli meats, cheeses, desserts, catering trays, frozen Italian meals, and many more, this place is the perfect neighborhood deli. Staff is always extremely friendly every time I am in there. Can't wait to come back and try more that they have to offer!“
“Truly cannot recommend Perfect Setting enough. I worked closely with Sara and she was awesome! It felt like working with a friend. She was SO responsive, and believe me when I say that I was constantly reaching out with questions. She never made me feel like a nuisance and always had an answer for me. On the actual wedding day, she was always right there ready to help with anything. Sara went above and beyond catering duties. She even put my slippers under my chair for me and RAN to get my bouquet so I could have them for the sparkler exit.The tasting was so much fun! It was in a private room with a personalized menu for your food choices. We brought both of our parents and it was a great time. They really wanted to know your thoughts, so don't be afraid to critique!The food was SO GOOD. Even though they had so many options to choose from, I told them of a roast chicken I had at a restaurant I loved and they asked for the restaurant information so they could recreate it!“
“Just wanted to let you know everything was great on Saturday.Your food was amazing, all the guests commented on the variety and tasty entries.Bruce was awesome. He served and cleaned up beautifully!I gave Dotty's a shout out and I hope you get some referrals from our shower.I will certainly use you again for our future catering needs.Cheers,Susanne“
“It's not very often I go to the courthouse cafe but when I do Lorrie behind the counter is the nicest person. She probably doesn't realize how she can make people's day with her attitude considering not many people want to be at court anyway. The food and prices are great as well.“
“I had the chicken cheesesteak hoagie with fried onions and it was delicious. I was gonna save the other half for later, but it was so good. I kept on eating it now I feel guilty because I couldn’t wait to eat it when I got home it was delicious. I highly recommend this place.“
“I ordered a tray of tea sandwiches from Le Petit for a party of 20 and first, I have to say the sandwiches were both beautiful and tasted amazing. What was more impressive to me was the professionalism of this company; the owner is super on top of her game. She made me feel at ease with how to pick up and everything was ready right on time and beautifully set up. I’ll be ordering from Le Petit in the future and recommending them often!“
“Calabash is another one of our frequent favorites! We stop in regularly for their Sunday brunch and BAY-BEE…They NEVER disappoint! The staff are attentive and check in throughout your dining experience to ensure you have everything you need and everyone is always so friendly.The dining and food areas are always clean and well organized. The space is large and decor is simple. This is a great open space for dining during COVID as all the tables are well spaced out allowing parties to social distance. All staff wore gloves and masks today. We loved to see Calabash doing their part in keeping their customers and staff safe.One thing about Calabash, they are always going to offer a variety of options to choose from. Choosing what to eat is the hardest part because literally everything looks so amazing. It’s all about how much space you can save in between plates. From home fries to oxtails, EVERYTHING is amazing and satisfies that Island food craving! Sunday brunch also includes bottomless mimosas and I absolutely LOVEEEE mimosas!The pancakes are fluffy and remind me of funnel cake; thy are made so perfectly every time. THIS PLACE DOES NOT MISS! The fish is always fried to a perfect golden brown and very dish is flavorful and savory.Calabash will continue to be on my list of repeats! Check them out and be sure to make it to next Sunday’s Brunch!“

“If you are looking for a caterer for your event look no further. Smokin’ Sone’s Fresh Grill, LLC is top notch. Thank you for your personal care and service. My guests are still taking about my event and your food. Wow! I am so thankful we selected you for my birthday celebration. Truly your business was a key part of its success.“
“It was great working with DiAntonio's administrative and in-person staff! Their team put together a suggested menu to fit our special event, assisted us with ordering tables, answered any questions we had, and minimized any stress during this process.The in-person staff and the bartender were personable and great to work with during the event. They setup the food with decorations, the food was delicious, and they provided takeout containers so food was not wasted and guests could take home leftovers.“
“I absolutely love The Pure Truth Culinary Services! I’ve purchased items at a local farmers market, order their meal prep services and I’ve ordered event catering. The meals are always fresh and delicious, and the service is always prompt and professional. Pictured below is honey garlic shrimp w/yellow rice and mixed veggies; a dish I recently ordered through their meal prep services.“
“We had a wonderful experience with Drew at Cricket Catering from the tasting to the day of our wedding! Drew and his staff were professional and attentive. Drew accommodated several guests with allergies and dietary preferences. We shared our vision of a Pittsburgh Cookie Table/Italian Pastries and he delivered an unbelievable amount of treats including gluten free treats for our guests! (it was a crowd pleaser).“
“My husband and I worked with Doug to plan our event at the Stotesbury Mansion. We seriously cannot imagine having a better team than Doug and the Feastivities crew! We were so taken care of from beginning to end: Doug made sure we had water when we needed, made us our dinner plates, and even helped us sneak away for a breather mid party.We loved that we were able to fully curate our meals, and our guests loved the food! The final touch of skillet warmed cookies and mini bottles of milk at the end of the night was a huge hit!Every single staff member was so friendly, warm, and helpful, we really couldn’t have asked for more. The bartenders were amazing! The waitstaff was so lovely (even when an auntie pulled one Feastivities staff member onto the dance floor!). Doug set up and packed up all of our decor and truly ensured the night flowed seamlessly.I would so, so highly recommend booking with Feastivities (and especially with Doug, if you can!).“
“We used Plum Catering for my daughter's wedding and they delivered, big- time! The food was amazing and delicious, the presentation wonderful and the servers were so friendly. We enjoyed delicious apps, served creatively. Especially delicious was their salmon, sage ravioli and bacon- wrapped dates-- yummy! And everyone loved their variation on grilled cheese with tomato soup, perfect for a fall event. Highly recommend for special occasion catering that won't break the bank.“
“Honestly unbelievable food. My partner and I are always complaining about the lack of quick food in the grad hospital area. I always passed by this place but just thought it was a catering restaurant- little did we know!!!!!!!!!!!Today we stopped by and got the pasta salad, dill potato salad, veggie sandwich, and maple mustard salmon. Every single dish felt like they used real ingredients to compliment the natural flavors of the whole foods they use.I love vegan food and my partner is more of a carnivore- they have the perfect amount of menu items for us to eat from both categories. I was thrilled that the potato salad was vegan (I get weird about mayo).I really feel like it's so reasonably priced, too, for being such high-quality whole-food ingredients (I sound like my mother but I mean it). We both felt so good about what we ate.We will be coming here a TON from now on. Please keep being this awesome!!!! Thank you!!!!!!“
“My husband and I both work full time and have kids active in sports, activities. We are so glad we found Koren’s Kitchen. We have used her meal delivery service for several weeks now and have loved every meal. Even our kids who are picky eaters really enjoy her food. And honestly because we aren’t buying as much food at the grocery store (opting for her prepared meals instead) we are spending the same or less, and we are throwing away much less food than we used to. I would highly recommend trying Koren’s Kitchen especially if you are a busy family.“
“Hidden Pearl catered my wedding back in Oct 2022. I am late to doing this review but I was just told again by a friend how amazing the food was. Everyone that attended our wedding has raved about how amazing the food was.I had a buffet style, and they made it seamless and easy.From the apps to the main course everyone was feed and happy and to top it off we had left overs!The owners and the staff are amazing and so professional.I wouldn't think twice to have them cater my next event!“
“This Christmas we made the very smart decision to have most of our Christmas feast Catered, by Herb Scott Catering. My only regret is that we didn’t do it sooner.The ordering process was seamless, and they even made some small adjustments by eliminating the use of butter, in the vegetables. The Christmas menu was well thought out, and there was a lot of variety. We chose roasted pork pancetta, brioche crusted salmon and shrimp scampi, as the main event. For our sides, we landed on brussel sprouts/ broccoli, mushroom risotto and green beans. Everything was perfectly prepared, the food was flavorful but not salty and the quality was excellent.In the future, we’ll definitely use Herb Scott Catering for our Christmas dinner, and I think next year I’ll grab a couple of main dishes for Thanksgiving.“
“Beautiful place a bit old fashioned, but I don't mind it. Food was nice, really fresh and wholesome, very filling and flavorful. Service was really outstanding, staff are highly accommodating, doing incredible and invisible job so every customer can feel as a really welcomed guest“
“Highly recommend!!!! My sister and I went for ice cream Friday night. I have several allergies and sensitivities- our server was phenomenal, both of them were. He brought out a list to show me with ‘*’ or highlighted so I could find which ice creams were gluten free and nut free. I appreciated that so much! Very thoughtful customer service. Thank you for creating that list for all the people like me that are a nightmare to serve! lol.Dietary restrictions: They have signs posted about nuts, and a sheet of paper that lists everything I can’t eat! Very thoughtful customer service for individuals with a lot of restrictions.“
“Our wedding was absolutely amazing, and it all started with the venue. My fiance and I visited maybe 4-5 venues, each with their unique offerings, but none with the right balance. We'd been to a wedding at The Waterfall before touring ourselves and it was an absolute blast of an experience; so we're naturally curious about what they had to offer. Our coordinator throughout our entire journey, Abigail, ran the tour and obviously we'd seen the place in person before. What sold us was what we were getting for the cost. We were impressed by the amount of food our guests were receiving, the style and cuisines and were very much sold on the fact that they were training their chefs on Indian and African cuisines. Many other venues did not even have the option for us to bring in our food choices, or a majority of the cost was going towards some part of the package that we didn't care about and could not un-elect. Our guests complimented the food selection most of all, they did not expect such a large array and indeed wished they had more space to carry it all!Another great perk which came along was a newly renovated suite which gave us the space and ability to get what we needed to eat done before the ceremony and before the reception. Lighting options for the ballroom were also very wide and helped us set the right atmosphere for the reception. The option to decide between and outdoor and indoor ceremony up til the day of was also very much appreciated (other venues required notice well in advance which doesnt make any sense given the unpredictability of weather; luckily for us it was a lightly overcast day.)Transacting with the Waterfall was very seamless and they were always willing to work with us be it extra services we requested for an game we played during our wedding day or answering our incessant questions about what could and could not be done; Abigail was patient and extremely helpful with us through it all. We shared numerous emails and phone calls confirming different aspects of the day, because you really can't remember everything in one go and as you get closer the more real it becomes and finer the details need to become.We had a worry when we tasted the Indian food offerings during their annual open house, which was months before our wedding. We were able to relay our concerns and Abigail worked with us and the Head Chef to ensure things went as smooth as possible for our Big Day. The point person/captain they appointed for the day ensured everything went on time, as well and was available at key points through the day.Honestly, as things were getting hectic through the few weeks leading up, for some reason it felt like Abigail and The Waterfall were taking care of what needed to be taken care of, so it felt like that past was actually getting easier. We really appreciate everything they did on their end to ensure such a perfect day for us. We had bot a traditional Indian ceremony and a reception onsite and between the Waterfall staff and our vendors we didn't have to worry about anything.It was also delightful to see some of the Waterfall staff enjoying themselves to the music and even our photobooth; we absolutely loved seeing the pictures our vendors sent us.For any folks getting married soon, get married here! The Waterfall will make your entire experience seamless and memorable!Thank you, Abigail and the Waterfall Staff!“
“We used Jems to cater our small wedding and we’re blown away with the quality of food and service. We ordered the Essentials catering option that came with choice of 4 entrees and 4 sides. Everything was delivered hot and delicious and was a ton of food. Great value! All of our guests raved about the food. Especially the eggplant Parm. Emily was very helpful with the ordering process and the delivery person Melissa was friendly and did a great job setting everything up. Would highly recommend Jems for any party.“
