For our wedding reception, we needed to hire a caterer. This was the first time we had done so, so…read morewe were unsure of the process and where to start. We contacted Blue Ribbon Catering, and they were incredibly helpful. Not to mention, they were patient and kind as we asked a multitude of questions to gain clarity. Everyone was very patient, especially Melissa, with whom we were in constant contact regarding the event. She made everything so easy to understand. Many of our guests had different food allergies, and they were able to accommodate us as best as they could. Everything was wonderful, and people raved about the food. The team was very professional; they showed up on time and had the food ready to go. Prices were also very reasonable, which we really appreciated since we were planning a wedding on a budget. It was definitely worth it. We had Vanessa as our private caterer, and she was incredibly kind to every single guest. She even helped my mom set up an entire dessert table that my mom had prepared separately. Vanessa didn't have to do that, but she was willing to help. Overall, our experience with Blue Ribbon Catering felt very comforting and family-like. We highly recommend them, and if we have another event up north in Ohio, we will absolutely be contacting them again.

What a great experience!!! Highly recommended and we will use Stewart's Smoking Backyard BBQ again…read morefor our party next Fall. Devan was great to work with on the planning side and he executed on his commitments to provide an amazing meal for everyone at my Fall Festival of Colors event. Prompt communications, timely arrival and departure, and exceeded my expectations on every front. He even came prepared with extra "stuff" in case I didn't have what I committed to provide. The pulled pork was so delicious it didn't need any sauce and the smoked half chickens were moist and tasty. The chicken was so good that even the day after when warmed in the oven they were still juicy moist and had amazing flavor. Support family run businesses like Stewart's!!! You won't regret the service, experience, and flavor of the best BBQ I've eaten in years! THANK YOU for providing a memorable meal for my guests. Everyone raved about how delicious everything tasted. APPLAUSE!

Our friends had beef (not brisket, I don't think) and pulled pork, but they also do ribs, pig roasts, etc. There were half a dozen sauces on the side, and while the meat didn't really need them I had to try them all out. There were also a few sides: fresh corn on the cob, superb mac and cheese, and maybe some others (beyond those, I'm not sure which were catered in and which our friends made.) The owner was super friendly and checked in often to make sure everything was fine. When he packed up after a few hours he left the meat and some of the sauces. I would gladly have them again, or use them for parties if I lived in the area.

My aunt wanted me to make a charcuterie board but I knew I had a busy month with work and I knew this party had high expectations so I was hoping to leave to a professional and Lisa was the perfect pick! I showed my aunt her gallery and we both loved her work. This isn't like most commercials, the product you get matches the pictures!!! We got sooooo many compliments on how beautiful the display is! There was not one thing on the tray that wasn't perfectly ripe, and absolutely delicious! Lisa and I had messaged for days narrowing down exactly what we wanted. She was so helpful in picking the correct size for the right number of people. Lisa helped me stay in budget, her rates are truly affordable especially for such a customized and personal experience and her work is art!!! She sent me example photos, measurements, answered any questions I could possibly have and I could not be more grateful for her time, effort and patience!! Picking up the trays went so smoothly, she helped me load them into my car! And the trays are GREAT quality. My aunt took them to reuse them because they are super stylish!!!

When we arrived at the event we were informed by church staff that it had been cancelled the week before. We weren't the only ones. Other people showed up as well.

In addition to suggesting several possible venues (and we loved the venue we used - Putter's on Rt. 18), she met with us ahead of time to discuss the food. We decided to do food stations of various cultures - Mediterranean, French and Asian along with a dessert table. The presentation was gorgeous, and everyone raved about the food. Susan and her staff set it up and left one team member to oversee things and restock as needed, who was very friendly and helpful during the event. We are doing the same event again next month, and Splendid Fare was the obvious choice.

We have worked with Susan and…read moreher team multiple times at our own events, and have experienced her services at probably 50 events over the past 20 years- ranging from private dinner parties in Akron's finest homes, to weddings and anniversaries, to fundraisers. Every menu is thoughtfully planned, beautifully prepared and professionally served. I have watched Susan's staff stick around long after the party to attend to details - whether it's soaking a client's fine napkin to eliminate a wine spot, or making sure a kitchen is spic and span. Her staff is always well trained and friendly, and they will all go to almost any length to assure the success of an event. Her reputation as one of Akron's finest caterers is well deserved, and trust me, you'll be in good hands.

You really can't go wrong with any of the menu choices; meatloaf wrap, veggie wrap, adobo wrap...the best is the buffalo chicken wrap with the really flavorful Mac and cheese. It has a lot of flavor but isn't too salty or spicy. The employees are quick and friendly. If this truck had a permanent brick n mortar location, it would definitely be packed!
