What makes a great reception and wedding day, food and the bar... Buckboard was a true highlight…read morefor my husband and I, and our guests! The food? Absolutely unforgettable. Every course, from the appetizers to the main courses, was incredible and beautifully presented. Many of our guests reached out about how it was simply such good food. One of our deciding factors was the fact that Buckboard is actually a restaurant here in San Diego, so their food was not just "wedding food" but actually restaurant quality. We fell in love instantly after our tasting. Knowing they are a local San Diego restaurant gave us so much confidence in food quality, and they absolutely delivered. Their service on the day of our wedding was seamless. It felt like everything was handled effortlessly, which allowed us to enjoy the day stress-free. My husband and I planned our wedding on our own and one of the biggest reliefs for us was that Buckboard took care of so many details - from linens, plates, and bar service to the propane for the heaters. Having one point of contact for everything was a great aspect. We truly didn't worry about their services at all day of. Buckboard's familiarity with our venue was another huge plus. They worked in perfect harmony with the venue staff. And as a same-sex couple, we were deeply touched by how welcomed and respected they made us feel throughout the entire process. We wholeheartedly recommend Buckboard Catering for their incredible food, great service, and outstanding communication. They made our wedding day not just special, but unforgettable. Thank you, Buckboard, for everything, you're truly the best!

Our date night was amazing tonight. From the moment we arrived, it felt like we were enjoying an…read moreauthentic Italian meal in someone's backyard. The ambiance was cozy, intimate, and absolutely charming. We started with the Polpette and Prosciutto & Burrata, both delicious! Then came the Simona (Devil) Pizza and the fresh pasta à la Bolognese--everything was full of flavor and beautifully prepared. Of course, we had to finish with the refreshing Lemon Sorbet. No diet for us tonight! Every bite was worth it! The food was authentic and delicious, the ambiance was fantastic, and the service was excellent. If you're looking for a special and unique Italian dining experience, Marcello Pizza Napoli is definitely a place to try! Definitely coming back.

The website says, "Step into a real Italian home to discover the true flavors of Naples."…read more That's just ad copy, right? Right? Oh, no. It's the truth. Except the "Italian home" is actually a family's backyard. Some families install a swimming pool. This family took a different path and installed an authentic Neapolitan pizza restaurant. You have to see this place to believe it. Apparently, it flew under the radar for a few years until an influencer recently discovered it and posted about it. Now, word is getting out--and judging by our visit Sunday, August 23, it's blowing up. The place was packed. Service was definitely slower than you might encounter in Little Italy, but then again, keep reminding yourself: you are sitting in a family's backyard, and Momma is in the kitchen. Our table ordered a variety of pizzas and focaccia, and everything was delicious. The tomato sauce was particularly outstanding. I'll admit I prefer a crispier crust than what I got, but it was still wonderfully chewy and flavorful. And honestly, the setting is half the fun. It feels less like going to a restaurant and more like being invited into someone's very enthusiastic--and very delicious--family project. I'm already looking forward to going back and seeing how this place continues to evolve. MAKE A RESERVATION. But arrive expecting that you may still have to wait for a table. Just relax. Enjoy the environment. Take in the ridiculousness of eating authentic Neapolitan pizza in somebody's backyard. And bring an appetite

I was looking for a caterer for a small {50 guests}wedding. After talking to 9 different…read morecompanies, I chose Flavor Chef. during my first call I could tell the owner was all about making my wedding perfect and serving the food my guests would love. Well he did not disappoint, from the appetizers to the desserts, each course was a hit. I am still getting compliments about the food served. I guess the best part of my experience with Perfect Chef was how easy they were to work with, nothing was too hard or complicated. Their staff were efficient and polite and did it all with a smile. Did I mention their cost was less then the other catering companies. I guess my experience was like the other reviewers....EXCELLENT. I would use them again and definitely recommend them to family and friends.

Amazing experience with Chef Diego, who came early to set up and cater our small dinner party…read more Planning the menu was very easy and Flavor Chef folks were super responsive. We had not anticipated such an amazing experience given it was for a small dinner party (10 ppl) versus a big event like a wedding or retirement party. The appetizers were amazing and dinner was perfect. We will definitely be coming back for any future needs. Everyone in our dinner party loved the food and the experience. Basically, we are all super fans!

Most recently, they came out last Saturday and served our 50 guests with ease. Everything from communication to set up and clean up is easy and smooth. Their email response time is always incredibly fast and they make booking so efficient and quick. They are also very transparent about pricing and very reasonable in their pricing. They also offer discounts and sales often and often give a cash discount when paying too. Our guests always rave about the food and they are the only taco company we know of that offers fish tacos as an option. We also love that they offer more unusual items such as grilled veggies and churros. We highly recommend Taquizas José for your next event.

From the moment we inquired to the day of the party, we received several emails confirming the location, setup area, menu, and guest count. I had zero concerns about their ability to execute the plan, and I especially appreciated their 48-hour final confirmation. Our guests (95 total) raved about the food. We ran out of beef a little earlier than expected, but our people do love to eat and appreciated that the staff didn't skimp on portion sizes. I think my guests took "all you can eat" seriously--LOL. My only suggestion would be to let Taquizas Jose know if your group loves to eat, as you may want to factor that into the amount of meat they bring. We've been feasting on leftover beans, rice, and tortillas this week--thoroughly enjoying it. Safe to say no one left hungry, and we're still enjoying it days later. 10/10 would (and hope to) book again for any event!

Honestly.. I hate to say this.. I was at a lakeside event and thought to myself.. Lemme give these…read moreguys a try and a tri tip sandwich sounded darn good. I ordered that with a side of mac and cheese. $20 later I was given a plate with what looked like a delicious sandwich and Mac and cheese. I went to pick up the sandwich and the bottom bun must have had that meat sitting on it for 10 min.. It was completely soggy and had to use a fork to try and eat the meat which had a substantial amount of fat I should have taken it back. The Mac and cheese my kid lives.. He took one bite and didn't eat any of the rest.. I didnt either. . It was Luke warm.. And very little of any flavor. Comon guys.. If you're gonna have $20 sandwich out there.. Make it memorable. Switch out the bun.. For goodness sakes.. It would have made a big difference. You were not busy.. And even if you were.. Do the right thing.

Please don't let my terrible photos stop you from eating this delicious BBQ…read more Yes, the prices are a little steep (similar to the prices charged by ALL food trucks) but you get a TON of absolutely delicious BBQ. We tried the pulled pork sandwich and the smoked beef sandwich. They were both terrific and you get an absolutely MOUND of meat with both dishes. The BBQ sauce used was a tad sweet but not too sweet. Both proteins were incredibly tender and juicy. We also tried the mac and cheese and beans and, as with the meats, you get a ton of whatever side you order (you get one side per plate). The mac was a little dry but still delicious. The beans were smoky and OUT OF THIS WORLD TERRIFIC. I'm not kidding. These are life-changing beans, if there can be such a thing. Frequently parked outside the Lost Abbey in San Elijo, this is a truck you want to check out. The food was served very quickly after ordering so no long wait like with most food trucks.

Outstanding Food and Exceptional Service!…read more We used Bekker's Catering for our son and daughter-in-law's wedding, and they did a fantastic job from start to finish. The food was delicious and there was plenty of it! We received so many compliments from our guests about how much they enjoyed everything. The Bekker's team was also wonderful. The staff was friendly, professional, attentive, and very accommodating. They were flexible with our requests and made sure everything ran smoothly throughout the evening. Most importantly, the bride and groom were thrilled with their menu choices and with the entire experience. Bekker's helped make their wedding reception exactly what we had hoped for. We were so happy with everything and would definitely recommend Bekker's for a wedding or any special event!

They impressed me with their professional service, especially around the hors-d'oeuvres, which they passed frequently. No need to wave to them from across the room. Their pacing of the different platters was perfect. The food at that event also stood out above anything else I'd ever eaten from a catering firm. Our event was no different in every regard. The staff moved efficiently through the room, serving, then clearing. I couldn't believe we could get out of there with a clean venue as quickly as we did. I particularly appreciated the help we received transporting food and wine to our cars. A job very well done. Special thanks to our coordinator, Kimberly, for facilitating connections with the florist and wine merchant.

WOW!!!! Continental catering was so amazing…read more We used Continental Catering for the welcome dinner for our wedding weekend, and asked them for an Indian "street food". They were SO kind and accommodating, and brought us in for TWO full tastings (with guests!) to perfect the menu. The chefs were so sweet, and also really humble with the less familiar cuisine, actually asking my grandma for her thoughts and taking such detailed notes on what we wanted. Also, we got the most amazing s'mores dessert, which was a huge hit with our guests. We also subcontracted several other things through Continental, like tables, chairs, lighting, and AV. This was honestly extremely convenient, and was so nice to not have to juggle so many vendors. Their communication was incredible, the food was great, and just an 11/10 team. So glad we chose Continental for our event!

He and his coworker, Joe are true gentlemen and quite the BBQ experts. Our guests could not stop raving about the food.

Airgas USA hired this caterer to serve tacos during our award ceremony honoring one of our drivers…read morefor winning driver of the year. I paid $917 for 60 people with serving hours from 11:00 AM to 1:00 PM. We only had 35 people attend the lunch. As the manager I was one of the last people to go out to the parking lot where the caterer setup for my lunch at 12:40. To my surprise the caterers had already packed all the food away and were preparing to leave... When my associate called their office to discuss why they took all the food we paid for and why they left early, she was told, "we put 60 paper plates out and all 60 were used." As a customer and a customer service manager this poor service is unacceptable. The conversation with the caterers office after was even worse. This vendor is no longer allowed to do business with our Airgas. I strongly recomend you find a different caterer.
