If this ain’t the worst food I have ever ate!!! Y’all need to closed down asap. Had take out yesterday and I have never in all my life had some of the most nasty dirty collars. Baked chicken was dry and over cooked.

Her "Security" was horrible. His attitude was poor. Her attitude was poor as well. Very rude people. We will never use this establishment again.

My favorite spot to eat. Omg the sweet potato soufflé is amazing.

I enjoyed the Sunday brunch just moments ago! Saving my peach cobbler for later on tonight. I had the meatloaf which was so juicy and flavorful, best I’ve had! I also had the mac n cheese which was creamy and paired well. Lastly I enjoyed the greens which wasn’t too spicy and I liked that a lot! Got full off only half of my plate and I’ll definitely be eating here again :)

Nice people. Terrible caterers. Poor quality food. Poor service. Extremely unprofessional. Ran out of food even when I purchased 15 extra meals. I didn’t even get a meal at my own event.

Pork chops had no seasoning and very tough, collard greens had to much vinager, yams were bland. Don't waste your money.

I am waiting for photos to come back. They did my wedding reception. It was exceptional! Guests & kids loved the food. On-site service was impeccable. The next event I have it will definitely be done by Ms Mary!!! As soon as I get photo I will post.

I don't write reviews to often but this one I had to do. I hadn't heard of this place until three days ago. After seeing the food, tasting some of it, and hearing how much it cost. I could not believe it! Everything looked dried out like it was cooked days before the event and then reheated. Very bland there was no soul in that food. This was very disappointing to say the least. The total cost for this food was insane $1000, it wasn’t a lot of food and majority of the food was thrown away. I will NEVER recommend or go there to eat EVER!! I would say more but why! We learned our lesson!

Hi1000 for a tray of old fruit, 40 pieces of dry as the Sahara sands chicken cooked in old oil, of which 30 pieces were not even edible and thrown away. I have witnesses. Bang Bang shrimp that had lost its boom, pasta salad that had macaroni as old as the feather in Yankee Doodle's cap, and sweet potatoes that was at best, ok! Seriously embarassed of what we served 20 guest for my wife's bridal shower. We had to reschedule our wedding day due to Covid. The place we had to reschedule wouldn't allow her to cater there so we used the deposit for the shower food. She literally told us that the aboved mention items for 20 would absorb our deposit. Horrific! I was told by more than a few professionals that her tastings were good, but the execution of what you actually pay for was at best mediocre. We had to cancel our wedding plans due to Covid. The venue in which we had to reschedule with would not allow us to use her! THANK GOD!!!! If she couldn't handle preparing fried chicken and sweet potatoes for 20, I would have hated to pay $7000 for her to feed 100. That's the blessing in it all. Our experience with this company was good until we actually tasted the food! I was nauseated. My wife was embarrassed to the pint that her guests were having to comfort her about it. We were happy that they allowed us to use the deposit for her shower, but I was stuck with the cost because she already had our money. I just didn't expect the slop that was prepared for our guest and my wife in such an otherwise lovely event. I wouldn't allow them to cater my imaginary dogs birthday. The food was that bad! If you check my other Yelp comments, you will see that im pretty reasonable and positive. There wasn't anything positive about the execution of this food, including the stale crackers we received with the cheese tray. It was bad

Sad to say...my first experience with Ms. Mary’s will be my LAST. I was so disappointed. The pasta salad was dry with discolored tomatoes...the chicken was unevenly fried with no batter on several pieces...the shrimp were soggy with soggy garnish and the other food was just—ok at best. And...the cost???...didn't even come close to matching what was received, both qualitatively and quantitatively. I love to support my community but this time my community didn’t rise to the occasion. It was a very special day we were celebrating and thankfully, we didn’t allow this to steal our joy. I hope this review is taken seriously and used as a tool to be better. Blessings to you and yours!!!

The food is beyond unsatisfactory! My sister and her fiancé paid $850 for food to be catered for 20 people! The food was horrible and to top it off we had someone else call requesting the same amount of food and she was quoted $350! When asked for an itemized invoice, we did not receive even after requesting several times! I do NOT recommend this restaurant to anyone not even for a quick snack!!

Run! In the opposite direction, away from here unless you have an unyielding need to eat food that is bland, dry and tough! Unless you feel that paying 1000 to feed twenty people is fair. I’m talking about feeding 20 people 40 pieces of dry chicken, of which we threw at least 30 pieces away because the were NOT palatable, a pan of sweet potatoe soufflé which was decent but not good, DRRRRRRY pasta salad in which we had to dump a whole bottle of vinaigrette and some salad seasoning into to resurrect, a tray of shrimp, and some dried out meatballs! At $1000/20=$50/person! For that???? But I’m Ok.You may be saying “Why did you agree to that?” Long story short, due to the pandemic my fiancé and I had to reschedule our wedding and the venue we had to choose for the dates we wanted doesn’t have Ms Mary’s as an approved caterer! You’d think the way the world is set up, vendors would issue refunds for events that can’t take place as planned due to this horrific virus. But I get it, that’s their livelihood. So she offered to let us use the $1000 we had paid as a deposit on another event! Ok cool! I was good with that. At least we were getting something for our money! I emailed the company and asked for an itemization for cost and of course never got one. You know why don’t you? Yep! Can’t justify that for those products.I was good with it and told my bride to be not to worry about. She complied. But when you get calls about how HORRIFIC the food was, not from just one guest but from ALL 20, it makes you wonder what’s going on. Obviously, according to her ratings on Google, I’m not the first one to have the same experience! But I do intend to warn as many people as I feel necessary about what I experienced. I emailed the owner about my disgust with our experience and she called me back visibly upset. We exchanged view points and at the end SHE HUNG UP IN MY FACE!? She was upset that she couldn’t confuse me or talk circles around me. But if it happened to her with some service, she’d be livid as well. Mind you, I emailed, she called. But it’s all good.I’m just telling you that THE TASTING WAS GOOD, but the food we received was horrible. I felt like a timeshare owner who purchased the model that was like the same quality they would be staying in, but when they arrive to check in, they got an old room that made the entire trip miserable!Do yourself a favor and go somewhere else! We were told by others and didn’t listen. I fully regret it. It’s not about the money. If the god was great, and her guest were happy, I’d be smiling. After all, I paid to enhance an experience. This almost shut the bridal shower down! So glad my Babe and her friends are resilient and didn’t allow that to prevent them from enjoying their evening!GO SOMEWHERE ELSE. ANYWHERE ELSE. I’d bet It would be better than this stuff!!!!

Recently had a meal catered by this vender at an event. The food was tolerable at best. The beef was so dry it was difficult to swallow. If you are looking for someone to cater your even, keep looking if you want your guests to have a decent meal...or any meal at all. This cater actually ran out of food before all the guests were served.
