Busy Bee Catering swooped in and saved the day with their "Sides-Giving" offerings fit for royalty! Their fluffy mashed potatoes and gravy were divine. Their chicken apple sausage stuffing was a show stopper, as was the relish tray (as big as a trough for my goats), roasted vegetables and Fall harvest salad topped with sinfully delicious candied pecans. I feel like getting married again so Busy Bee Catering can handle the food. Thank you so much! You'll be seeing me and my hungry tummy again SOON!

They were amazing to work with and so calm and wise to keep this MOTG relaxed to enjoy the events. The quotes were more reasonable than others and food/flavor/freshness/presentation not compromised. I had wanted our son to go with the PDX caterer and Jan & Dani were definitely the best choice. You can't go wrong with them. We also used them at Alpine Events for our rehersal dinner with 52 people and the dinner was fabulous and the event space so lovely and personal for our gathering. Jan & Dani even decorated with the runners/candles/banner and flowers that we dropped off while at the rehersal. I can't say enough about them! Janey

This is a cute little shop that delivers a creative spin on s'mores…read more On a recent visit, I got the Cookie S'Morester, which consists of chocolate chip mallow, crushed Oreos, and mini M&Ms sandwiched between gluten-free graham crackers. Also tried the Marsh's Classic which comes with a vanilla bean mallow. Both s'mores were absolutely delicious! What really stood out was the service. The person who served me was a super nice guy who took the time to explain the different types of s'mores they sell. He also introduced me, an out-of-state visitor, to the marionberry. He offered me a sample of marionberry preserves on a small spoon and explained how this Oregon specialty was developed by Oregon State and doesn't travel particularly well. Someone give this dude a raise! Anyway, I highly recommend this place if you're looking for creative takes on a familiar treat. These definitely aren't your ordinary campfire s'mores.

They mentioned that the pop-up store will close briefly later this summer as they move in to a permanent restaurant space nearby.

We tried this restaurant last night for my husband's birthday weekend in Portland! Everything we ordered was delicious: falafel appetizer, shawarma chicken rice bowl, and jareesh. Since this was our first visit, they gave us an eggplant appetizer to try and we loved it too!! I topped off our meal with the Queen's tea. Yummy!! Since this was my husband's birthday they sent a piece of cheesecake home with us (we were too full to eat it immediately after dinner.) We ate it later that night and it was delicious.

Our table was ready right when I got there for dinner and we were able to be seated quite quickly. Fair warning, parking in this area can be dicey and a lot of the street parking signs have specific hours/towing instructions. Foodwise, I knew I wanted to get the cold mezza platter which came with hummus, baba gannouj, stuffed grape leaves, tabbouli, fattoush & eggplant fatta served with pita bread. Meant for 2 people and we definitely shared a couple bites as a table. Friends got the eggplant fatta and 2 orders of the jareesh (cruhsed oats with spices). The jareesh was definitely a large portion and could be shared between 2 people. I liked all the bites in the mezza platter and would totally get it again; honestly, I was side-eyeing folks as they took bites of it since it meant less for me LOL JK...or am I just kidding? Prices are fair for the quality and this place really feels like a cozy, mom and pop shop. We had to grab a cheesecake to finish and it was delicious!! Highly recommend this cute little spot so come by and try it out~

The Portland Catering Company did just a phenomenal job at our wedding. The food was fantastic and…read morewe got tons of compliments about it. They were also extremely flexible, which I think really sets them apart (and also being the most reasonable catering company we talked to and we talked to at least 5 or 6). They let us bring our own alcohol and served it for us and provided all the ice and necessary glassware. The staff helped a ton with the set up and tear down of the chairs and tables as well. Julie from PCC was incredible. She was very responsive and flexible during the planning phase. She came to our venue walkthrough about a month prior so we could figure out logistics, the set up, and all our questions. During the day of the staff was amazing and the bar and the buffet ran very smoothly. I can't stress enough how incredible Julie and the whole staff was and I would highly recommend them to anyone.

I hired this caterer about a month in advance for a baby shower for approximately 20 guests, with a…read morefood order totaling over $1,200. They were scheduled to arrive at 3:00 PM on Saturday. By 3:20, no one had arrived and I still hadn't heard anything. Around 3:25, I began trying to contact someone. After finally reaching someone after 3:30, I was told the kitchen had been extremely busy that day. At that point, I began to suspect the food might not be coming. At 3:49 PM -- just minutes before guests were arriving for a two-hour event -- I received a call letting me know the food had not even been made yet. I was told it might be ready "in a couple hours," and they suggested I order food elsewhere instead. We were left scrambling at the absolute last minute. We ended up ordering pizzas and salad from a local restaurant while family members rushed to the grocery store to put together charcuterie boards in the kitchen as guests arrived. It was stressful, embarrassing, and honestly hard to believe. I have worked in hospitality, events, fundraising, and vendor management since 2008 -- from hotels to nonprofit development work -- and I regularly hire caterers, bartenders, and vendors for professional events. In all those years, I have never experienced a caterer simply not show up and fail to communicate beforehand that they would not be delivering. To their credit, the contact person did apologize afterward and explained they were understaffed and going through staffing challenges. She also stated they would refund the order and help reimburse the replacement food costs. However, nearly a week later, I still have not received the full refund or reimbursement. I understand that difficult days happen in the service industry. What was most disappointing here was the complete lack of communication before the event and the position it put us in as hosts. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable relying on this company again for an event.

I had multiple guest come up to me during the wedding and tell me, unsolicited, how good the food was. It was above and beyond many of our guests expectations of what kind of food they would be served at a wedding. My now husband wanted to order excess food on purpose just so he'd have more leftovers, I cannot emphasize how yummy everything was! The day of staff of servers and bartenders were all fantastic as well. While taking pictures during our cocktail hour and away from our guests, all of the servers made sure to bring us the hors d'oeuvres and cocktail each which was super appreciated!

Everything from…read morethe planning, to the flexibility on the menu, to the presentation and aesthetic - they completely nailed our vision. We didn't want to do a traditional sit-down or buffet dinner and worked with Reedville to do more of a food station, heavy hors d'oeuvres set-up for our cocktail party reception. Every single item they made was seriously delicious, not just 'good' - NW salmon cakes, goat cheese tartlets, teriyaki meatballs for passed apps, and the charcuterie presentation was beautiful. Sweet chili shrimp skewers, thai peanut chicken, asparagus risotto, arugula salad, plus two custom items we asked for: pork belly bao buns and fried chicken sliders. Everything was out of this world. When we asked to do pork belly bao buns, they didn't bat an eye or even ask any questions - and then absolutely nailed it. The amount of food was perfect. They also tended bar for us with 2 signatures and a full bar and everyone was happy and drunk the whole evening :) The team was super friendly and professional, and Jessica's responsiveness was lightning fast. We would work with them all over again and highly recommend to anyone.
