I've had catering from Drapers, Simply Delicious, and Central. They've all been professional, beautiful setups with plenty of food for 50 people. Donelsons was nothing like that. There was no effort put into the presentation, and certainly not enough food for 50 people. They gave me one pastry per person (with fruit, juice, and coffee). Who eats just one pastry for breakfast? I had to supplement breakfast with leftovers from Drapers, who we ordered on the previous day - and who provided a much, much higher quantity of food for the same price. For $8.00 a head, I expect more than one pastry per person. The pastries provided were obviously just Svenhorn and Otis Spunkmyer pastries from Sams Club - I know because I shop there. I could have easily just unpackaged the same pastries and plopped them haphazardly on two trays for like $1 per person. When I expressed this concern to them, they kept exclaiming "But you had leftovers, so clearly it was enough!" - without acknowledging the fact that we supplemented the breakfast with leftovers (which more people ate, because they were higher quality and better tasting items). The lack of food was so shocking to me that I had to call in and request more items for lunch (they were also catering lunch). Which brings me to the lunch provided. I ordered the burger bar for 50 people (upped to 75 due to lack of food provided). I'm not sure if Donelsons has ever actually had one of their hamburgers before, because they are absolutely awful. I had several complaints on the quality of the food provided that day, which is embarrassing for me as someone who is running a conference for professionals. The owner of the business argued with me non-stop for 10 minutes, but eventually agreed to discount the price of the extra hamburgers - but it was a huge hassle, and I do not feel at all that I got what I paid for. Plus one of the Donelsons - Kimberly - attempted to reach out to me on my personal FaceBook page through messenger, which was just plain bizarre and IMO goes to demonstrate the lack of professionalism of the company. Steer clear of Donelsons. Otherwise you'll end up with cheap food and receive 2/3 of the amount of food that you should for your head count. There are so many other caterers in Memphis that deserve your service. read more
