As one who orders a lot of box lunches catering for my place of work, I must say that these folks…read moreare extremely easy to work with. I emailed what I wanted and when and where to deliver it. I received an answer almost instantly with a few clarifying questions, paid for my order and waited for the day of the luncheon. They arrived about 10-15 minutes prior to the time requested which worked out great. Everyone at the company is super friendly and helpful, driver included. The box lunches were great. We had opted for a sandwich and 2 sides. Each lunch also contained a fruitcup or applesauce, a pickle spear, chips, a cookie or brownie, as well as condiments, a mint and cutlery with napkin. That should fill up the even the hungriest of our employees. I for one appreciate reliability in a caterer since there is nothing worse than a room full of hungry people and no food. So thank you for reliable and impecable service.

We've used Chef Jeff's services for a number of work events and I couldn't be more impressed both…read morewith the quality and value of the food as well as his responsiveness and professionalism. We've had some amazing breakfasts with mini frittatas, sausage stuffed mushrooms, fruit and coffee cake. Everything is clearly freshly made and delicious. The cost is similar to what we were paying for bagels and spreads and this is so much better! We've also had him cater some receptions/socials with assorted small bites, and everything has been amazing! The carrot soufflé filled phyllo cups at our most recent event were absolutely delicious. Set up has always been on time, and Chef Jeff handles everything including clean up at the end. He has been very flexible in working with us to stay within our budget and to meet the needs of our events. He is extremely easy to work with and clearly has a lot of enthusiasm for food and wants customers to enjoy it. In looking over his website he also does home delivery of prepared meals at a very reasonable price. Cold dishes are ready to serve and hot dishes come with cooking/heating instructions. Definitely check out his website if you are planning even a fairly small event!

I called Jeff, and he prepared several dinners for my friends who had just come home from a long hospital stay.

Jeff took time away from his busy schedule to work in a small job for a very special need. Thank you again, Chef Jeff!!

Wow wow wow! I stumbled up on this place while visiting 8th Day Saturday afternoon. They were just…read moresetting up right outside of 8th Day. I quickly walked over becaose I could smell goodness but they said they were starting serving until 5. At this time it was like 3:30. While we had no intention on staying long we made the decision to just stay and wait until 5 so we could try it. Let me say, that was the best decision EVER!!! We ordered Jerk Chicken and veggie baked beans and Mac and cheese. It was so so so so good. The Jerk Chicken, I have never ever had better jerk chicken. It was tender, flavorful and just amazing. The bonus was the owners were extremely nice and gracious and so appreciative. We were sitting inside the bar and they brought the food to us and even brought some extra sauce. They don't have a food truck or building and do most advertising via Instagram so follow them and find out where they will be around the city. You won't regret it!

Super disappointed to leave a one star review but my experience with Graze Craze has been horrible…read more I received a gift card for my birthday and I went in person this week to place an order. When I walked in, I heard someone say from that back that they'd be with me in a little while. It wasn't long before a young man came out to speak with me. It was about 90 minutes before closing and he immediately told me I should not expect service right before closing. I apologized, said I thought they closed at 6pm, he said they did, then said he'd go to the back to see if they'd be willing to talk to me. Someone was in the back washing dishes, but never came to the front. The same employee came back out, sighed, and said he'd take my order. I told him I had never been in, I just heard about it from the gift card, and was curious what I could order and what was included with the menu items (inside, it's just a counter and a table off to the side with trays/boxes with names, but not prices or a list of what comes in them). He told me I should read the TV, which looked to be off at the time. He turned it back on while huffing and puffing, then said "LOOK!" at the menu, which was just names of the boxes with prices, not sizes or again what's included/what I can choose from. I remained calm, despite feeling uncomfortable, and again asked if I could see a list of what's included or what I can choose from, and if I can pick something up same day or order for a future pickup (I was honestly hoping for a grab & go cooler like other similar places but no problem, I can order something for another time). I still have no idea what items are available, as the employee was just getting more and more mad at me with each question, which he refused to answer. I told him I was feeling uncomfortable, which he just said, "okay!" so I said I didn't feel like I was wanted there as a customer, and I left. I've tried calling the store to rectify the situation and maybe speak with a different employee or member of management. Either the phone just rings and rings or the same employee I spoke with in-person answers. I really wanted to use my gift card but I'd rather throw it away than go through that experience again. I'm very discouraged at this point, but glad I can get great products and service at The Bountiful Board instead.

I experienced Brad Gates catering at the Yelp Mixology 101, and have to give props where due. Let…read moreme start by saying it was sweltering outside, despite the fans, and this guy was working his magic in a little corner with minimal accessories on hand. That being said, what was delivered to us was nothing short of delectable! The presentation and flavor of all that went into it was very impressive. The salad with fresh turkey, soft cheese and berries was quite the surprise and a wonderful combination. The fish cakes were delicately breaded and oh so moist, literally a party for our tummies. I can only imagine what else he could bring if you let him loose in an actual kitchen. Find out at City Market or book him for your special occasion!

This husband and wife duo truly are professionals at what they do and I can assure you they treat even the most naive of brides (present company) with respect and a supportive approach. Before contracting with Brad Gates Catering, my fiance and i spoke to several local caterers both preferred and not preferred by our venue, the Indianapolis Art Center. Brad Gates Catering is a preferred vendor for the IAC and came highly recommended by the staff at IAC. From the first email, to pricing, to the contract and payment options, BGC has provided an easy, stress-less and smooth process. Meggin was very responsive and proactive when working with us and our fixed budget. We didn't want to cut quality while cutting cost, and Meggin understood that and was able to put together a menu that not only meets our budgetary needs, but also our tastes. She is on the ball with all the nuances behind planning and executing a wedding reception dinner so she's been a huge help and resource when it comes to managing and making decisions around things like kids menu, buffet set-up and the like. Meggin was able to make adjustments to our proposed menu and has been wonderful with fielding all my endless questions as I navigate through the wedding planning process. I feel confident that our event will go smoothly and that the food will be a huge hit with our guests!

I found A Smudge Sweeter on Instagram, and after admiring all of their beautiful, custom desserts, I sent a message. The owner responded quickly and was able to make 50 cake pops for our party with only a week's notice. Not only did she make cake pops, but they were intricate, incredibly-themed cake pops that brought a lot of fun to our event. The party was right before Thanksgiving, so the cake pops had fun toppers that looked like turkeys, footballs, autumn leaves, etc. They were also delicious, which is sometimes hard to do when they're that beautiful too. You can now order dessert tasting platters from this business, which is definitely the next thing I want to try! Perfect to try out all of their offerings before making a decision on an upcoming gift.... or a fun thing to bring over to a friend's house for a fun night!

They also offer great coffee drinks, which is especially appreciated during long event days or extended work sessions. Professional, attentive, and consistently high quality.

This restaurant is located in the City Market. It is part of the Indianapolis Black Chamber of…read moreCommerce's SOUL of the City program, in conjunction with Bank of America. The program provides space for 4 first time Black business owners. The restaurant is not well marked, but is located in the back corner of the Market. Being that it is located in City Market, there is a lot of metered parking within a reasonable walking distance and there are a few commercial garages available as well. They are not open everyday, or at least they were closed on Monday when I went to visit. The woman working there was very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The restaurant has a compact menu. You will find it on the chalkboard on the counter. I went with the catfish platter. It took about 15 to 20 minutes for them to prepare my food, but it was made fresh. You can sit in the Market's indoor dining area that is located on the upper (and now lower) levels or at one of the tables in the outdoor courtyard. It was a nice day, so I decided to eat outside. The catfish and fries were decent. I cant give them the title of best that I have had, but it was good. It came with some hot sauce. If I have one suggestion, it would be to up their hot sauce game. I got two packets of a watery generic hot sauce. I would have like a more name brand sauce. It would have set the catfish off a bit more. I love supporting local and I will be back to check out some of their other savory dishes soon.

Our waiter was extremely helpful in selecting our drinks and mains. We ran into a few snags with our mains but they were quick to address the issue and offered us complimentary drinks and a dish. Which was not necessary as we understand some situations out of their control but it was much appreciated. The Garden Benedict was good. Bread was toasted just right with a good amount of avocado. Topped with a generous amount of smoked salmon, followed by hollandaise sauce which had a bit of acidity to it which helped cut through some of the dish' richness. As well as a perfectly poached egg on top. The salmon itself lacked a bit more moisture but good dish overall. The chilaquiles were flavorful and generous. The chips were crisp and topped with salsa verde which was tangy and vibrant. Blackened chicken, black beans, Mexican crema, sprinkled queso fresco and perfectly cooked eggs finished the dish. I didn't get to try the Shroomin' Sammie but it looked tasty. Drinks we tried were the Mimosa with Lush Love cold pressed juice. Perfect recommendation as it was refreshing and flavorful. As well as the detox dream. It may look off putting due to the use of activated charcoal but tasted amazing! It had a subtle heat so be warned. I absolutely recommend and would visit again.
