Still waiting for food to arrive.
Sam P.

I originally reviewed this business on March 22, 2012. Years later, Tim (the owner) decided to message me stating that "he didn't know who I was but that he had contacted the client of the event and that everyone was pleased with Dad's Catering Service." This is a complete lie. I mean really, if he didn't know who I was then how on earth did he manage to contact the client?!? Tim then went on to dispute my review and have it removed on the grounds that I hadn't actually been tortured by his miserable, lousy business. He also went back and deleted one of the messages in our conversation, apparently forgetting that I still have an email record of the whole ordeal. Sigh. I always forget how compulsive liars don't even remember the difference between truth and fabrication. Dad's Catering Service is nothing more than a glorified dog food buffet table. The staff was completely ignorant and unhelpful for those of us with food intolerances. The staff had no idea how to open a wine bottle. I had to show them how to work a wine key and poor my own glass of wine into a plastic cup because they had apparently forgotten the glasses. Excellent. I love drinking red wine out of a plastic cup at a wedding. I will now add some photos to show the event of which I speak. The hors d'oeuvres didn't come out either. When this was mentioned, a couple plates of some strange looking substance landed on a table. It didn't look like anything that was described, was certainly not anywhere enough to go around, and was accompanied by no type of table service as advertised. I wish that I had taken photos of the dog food buffet, but then again I don't because they would immediately be flagged as inappropriate content for the uncanny resemblance to vomit. Everything was super slow. The piles of food were mushy and cold. I honestly don't remember anyone eating any of it. I only remember that we had been sitting for so long that we had become starved and shortly thereafter passed the point of caring about hunger all together. Some people might say the price is right, but I say you get what you pay for. I would have rather been served dog food... at least then I would have known what it was. I certainly wouldn't recommend this company for special events where you hope people will enjoy their experience. I find it even more bizarre that the only positive review I see here was left by a person who clearly states that they work for the company in their post. This is a clear violation of Yelp terms. If Tim has so much free time to try and get rid of legit reviews, maybe he should also report that one. Better yet, perhaps he could teach his staff about customer service.

Fried chicken (VERY DRY)

Do Not, I repeat DO NOT!!! Give this company the time of the day. I flew from out of state to go over their catering menu and their place was a dump. The outside looks abandoned and their vans on the pictures are very outdated. The vehicles they have now have peeled off stickers with terrible paint jobs. The inside of the building looked like a warehouse, a lot of their dishes and buffet warmers were scattered everywhere. I tried not to mind it and give them the benefit of the doubt. I met Tim (Owner) who was a very nice person & was welcoming. When I sat down with family & waited for the food to get there the space had an musty smell. The food finally arrived & the look matched the taste of the food which was VERY BLAND!! We also tried the Veggie Lasangna and it was terrible, it needed some type of seasoning. The fried chicken he served us was dry like no other. The bread & Spinach dip option was also bland. The bread he served us seemed like he bought the bread from the dollar store and was also bland. The rolls he used were store bought and was super disappointing, if I wanted store bought rolls what's the point of a catering company. When I asked to try the Garlic bread he mentioned he didn't have it ready but next time would be an option. (I TRAVELLED FROM OUT OF STATE, HELLO?!?!) When I asked to try the salad he said "Well it's just salad you know? Greens, onions, croutons etc". I was in shock he said that specially knowing I was traveling from out of state. We didn't come to hear about the menu that's what a phone is for, we came to try food and he waisted our time. He was not involved in any of the process & made me feel like I was just another number to him while he typed away on his computer. DO NOT COME TO THIS PLACE!! I would not recommend trying them or giving them any business. The food was gross with no flavor, he was unprepared & didn't follow through with everything we were expecting to taste. Please avoid this place by all means necessary. His other "5 star" reviewers were not great & felt it was very misleading. If you don't believe me you'll know soon enough if..... you try them.

See all

The food was great--everything was fresh, flavorful, and a hit with all of our guests. But what really stood out was the service. Bradford went above and beyond in every way. He helped keep the party running smoothly by picking up plates, keeping things organized, and even making to-go boxes for guests at the end of the night. He was an absolute rock star and made a huge difference in allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration. Couldn't recommend them more highly!

The ordering process was clear and efficient and the administrative staff was always available to answer any questions that arose. This company is not short on communication and both the owner, Eric, and manager, Carson, ensured that our experience was wonderful and our expectations were exceeded. The catering menu itself is large (15 pages long) and diverse with many different options including passed appetizers, dinner packages, carving stations, and much more. We opted for the delivery service and ordered about ten Heavy Hor's d'Oeuvres from the À la carte menu items for our party of 45. Delivery was on time and set up was as expected. While I would not recommend the Crab & Cheese Rangoons (overcooked and dry) nor the Bruschetta (Crostini toasts were too hard/crunchy), most of our menu choices were delicious: - Mini Cuban Sandwiches (amazing) - Mini Beef Wellingtons with Creamy Horseradish (amazing) - Thai Peanut Chicken Skewers (excellent) - Flatbread with pulled pork and caramelized onions (excellent) - Marinated Grilled Vegetable Display (excellent) - Firecracker Shrimp Spring Rolls (good, but a bit overcooked/crunchy) [- Tomato bruschetta itself was fresh and flavorful] Overall a great first experience ... This company was very easy to work with and we will use them again for future events.

I decided to look online to see who could make a charcuterie board for me. And lucky for me XOXO Charcuterie came up in my search. I went to the website and saw the most adorable charcuterie boats...single portions!! OMG! That was perfect. People came in, grabbed a "boat", a drink and found a seat and settled down to listen to our speaker. But, back to the "boats". It was super easy to order them online. A quick text to check the date with Masha and after she gave me the go ahead, I just ordered them on her website. The best part? They delivered them at precisely the time she said they would! And, not only were they charming to look at, but they were delicious. Everyone loved them. They looked exactly like they looked on the website. I would highly recommend using XOXO CHARCUTERIE and I'm looking forward to contacting XOXO for our next event.

So instead of preparing this year's charcuterie board myself, I splurged and had XOXO create a masterpiece instead... and it was a hit! The ordering on the website was easy enough and after some texting back and forth, I had clear direction on the pick-up time too. It was ready upon arrival and it was beautiful and extremely tasty. The board and all of the ingredients were high quality. Our guests were pleased and so was I! I ate leftovers for days after the holiday too as there was plenty of meats, cheeses, honey, fresh fruit, dry fruit, nuts and more... The board was indeed a masterpiece and it came with great little serving utensils as well. I highly recommend XOXO and look forward to using them again in the future!

My wife and I love to cook and have prepared some outstanding meals at home over our 40 years together. We have extensively traveled and lived throughout the world and as such developed pallets for superb cuisine from all over. As we grew older we gleaned the best of what we enjoy and developed them into our own cooking skills. My wife being Korean born refined her cooking skills in the eastern cuisine like Korean, Japanese, Thailand, and others while I have refined my skills with French and Italian. Prescott is a beautiful place to live but its culinary basis is built on sawdust. We usually cook for ourselves if we want a top notch meal. Now the past several years I have been confined to a wheelchair and transport is very limited. We used to spend winters in Hawaii where we could get great quality meals and seafood whether we prepared them or went out. So our 40th! I wanted to do something special for my wife since I have not been living up to my end of our culinary relationship being confined to a wheelchair. Thus I started seeking out a Chef that would come to our home with his staff and prepare a custom made meal for us. I selected Chef Thomas and Copper State Kitchen. I started by a rather lengthy discussion via phone and followed up with sending Chef Thomas some of our favorite recipes, sufficient for him to develop a five-course meal for us. Chef Thomas is very professional and easy to work with. We refined the meal over the next two days we agreed on the following proposed menu; I supplied the wines. Amuse-Bouche * Fig Jam, Blue Cheese, Red Wine Poached Pear & Arugula Crostini Starter * Prime Rib Poke with sesame crunch and microgreens and pipkuala aioli (based on my deconstruction of the infamous Tiki Bar in Waikiki dish) Pasta Course * Lobster Tagliatelle in a Champagne Cream Sauce Main Course * Beef Wellington with foie gras and red wine demi-glace Dessert * Crème Brûlée (torched table-side) Wine Pairings * Santa Margarita Prosecco DOCG * Domaine Salmon Sancerre Sauvignon Blanc * Tenuta de Sesta Brunello di Montalcino 1996 * Chateau Rieussec 1st Grand Cru Classe 1863 Sauternes 2004 Every course was perfect and very enjoyable. And they cleaned the kitchen meeting my wife's expectations. I highly recommend Copper State Kitchen for your personal culinary experience to celebrate your special occasions.
