Last Saturday, my friends and I hosted a close friend's bridal shower with around 12 guests. We've seen Charcutereats' previous work and decided to pursue them due to what we thought was quality and presentation. What we got in comparison to that and the pictures displayed on their instagram account is nothing short of a bootleg version. See photos for reference even though the owner will deny and leave a comment generated by ChatGPT. 1. Quality: The two main orders were absolutely sub par and cheap. The bagel spread does not feed up to 12 as advertised and feeds more so around 5 people. We got 6 very dry bagels cut in half, one large cut tomato, maybe half an onion, maybe a quarter of a lemon and spread for maybe one and a half bagels? The ingredients were spread so flat to create an illusion that the serving plate was full. The smoked salmon that we paid extra for was a mere few slices for 3-5 individuals versus the photos that show a decent amount for "up to 12pp." The caprese pasta salad had absolutely no flavor, and was brown from the balsamic vinegar yet gave no flavor and was a mere cold pasta with bits of basel.  2. Expectation: As shown on their social media page and website, the orders come on wooden boards and wooden bowls with some decorative items. What we got instead was a hasty delivery of a flimsy and broken plastic bowl for the pasta -- that had to be thrown out upon putting it out --and a flimsy wooden plate for the lightest bagel spread we've seen that was surely not worth more than $50. 3. Communication: Upon inputting the order and the delivery day, there was no communication. We had to reach out via email and confirm the day before and was met with a different drop off/set up time than initially agreed upon when the order was inputted. We 11:45am since the party was at 12pm, and instead got forced into settling for a 10:30am slot after some back and forth. This is unprofessional for any business that is selling a service. Save yourself the hassle and money and go to Costco and get yourself what you need, because the business is apparently falling apart. read more

I decided to purchase my first ever charcuterie board from charcutereats as a gift to my partner and was surprised to see the quality of the board! I loved how there was so much variety within the board and it was carefully packaged and arranged. It was a kitchen where there are multiple businesses sharing a large kitchen and not really a walk in and order type of place. However, it is very easy to find parking in the lot along with ordering online. read more

I loved everything about our experience hiring Charcuterieats for our Easter brunch. I was a little worried since it was our first time using them but, WOW did they deliver!!!!The food was so good and the platters were the highlight of our party. Beautiful food!! All of our guests were impressed. I will definitely use them again and recommend anyone who wants to impress! Thank you !! read more

It was cute but not impressed with the food. Expensive for the amount of meat and cheese you get. Crackers were about $7 extra and they were about the 1/4 size of a sleeve of ritz crackers. The crackers were so small I forgot to bring them. The board was not a board but rather a thin piece of cardboard like material barely wrapped in plastic wrap. It looked like a $30 dollar tray in total including the food and the "tray". read more

Girl's night wasn't complete without these portable individual sized charcuterie boards from Charcutereats. The 3-pack of "lunch boxes" is just what we needed to go along with our wine as we enjoyed a concert. It was quick and easy to order online. You get to customize your order with a choice of cheese, meat, and all of the other side items. Next, pick your delivery date and time. Closer to my delivery date, I received a confirmation email with the window of when the boxes would be delivered. The process went so smoothly. Will definitely order again for a future event! read more

Charcutereats delivered beautiful BABY letter trays for my nieces baby shower over the weekend. The trays were beautiful and got rave reviews. Samantha was easy to work with and delivered the trays right on time as promised. Thanks so much!!! read more

Was very excited to get this delivered for my wife's birthday however, instead of getting my order I get a email the day prior to delivery saying they can't deliver to my address which is not as far as they state in the email. This place completely ruined my wife's birthday plans as this was one of the main parts of the surprise. Because they waited so long to let me know I am not able to get somewhere else to make it! Canceling a order with a very generic email instead of a phone call giving a option to pick up the board which I would of done. It's sad I will not get to write a review on how it looked and quality because their customer service is so amateur they get the entire review. If I could give zero starts I would. Do not order from here if you have anything special planned as Samantha will ruin it with a email. read more

HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Charcutereats. We hired them to produce a grazing table for 60 ppl and they went above and beyond. Their communication was amazing, they asked me what the theme of my event was so that they could tailor the look of the presentation to what I already had going on, and we had more than enough food. It was so beautiful and thoughtfully created that people were posting Instagram stories with it :) Thank you, thank you! read more

Samantha was amazing to work with. She offered several different sizes charcuterie boxes. I was having a larger party so I chose to go with the smaller 4inch boxes. She delivered on time (despite the awful OC traffic and rain)- the boxes were a huge hit. read more

Got this as a present from my husband. It was the most delicious spread ever! The prosciutto did not taste funky, like the ones you get from the grocery. The fruits were fresh and the berries were all sweet. It's like they were curated before getting placed in the box! I have a potluck party coming up and will derinitely be buying here for it! read more

If you're looking for something different to take to your next gathering with friends or family CharcuterEATS is a must! Samantha is amazing with her creations, she's very accommodating and super friendly. She will pretty much add anything you request on your board.

I've had two orders from Samantha at Charcutereats and I can not recommend her boards enough! She did a massive grazing table for a party (pre-COVID!) and I have gotten smaller boards to-go. The presentation is unbelievable and she is such a wonderful person to work with to make any sized order come to life. I love that she can customize the orders so if you have certain preferences or dislikes it can be accommodated. If you're looking for charcuterie, there's no one else I would recommend. Go with Charcutereats! You will NOT be disappointed. read more

Samantha did a wonderful job for us. She led me through the order and put together a fabulous selection. I ordered a board for my son and his lovely bride to celebrate our socially distanced Christmas and their first Christmas as a married couple. They just received it and are over the moon. Absolutely delighted and blowing my phone up with texts and pics. We'll be back! read more
