Tommy and his team were the BEST! Our wedding food was phenomenal and so was the service

I tried some items from the food truck at Olympic Village during the Made In Tahoe Festival. Service was friendly and the menu seemed the most interesting and desirable to me of the food truck options available. I got a Thai Veggie Curry and a Thai Chicken Curry and shared them with another person. Both were excellent, quite tasty, and well prepared. The veggies were so fresh and delicious and still had some crunch to them. The rice was equally delicious and what I appreciated most was the curry was light and the dish wasn't swimming in a soupy mess... it was all nicely coated Everything is sustainable, organic and containers recyclable. All good stuff. The portions were quite adequate and at $14 per meal I thought it was worth it. The only criticism I have is they seemed to be a bit overwhelmed, although not terribly busy. However, regardless I highly recommend their food. read more

Tommy and EATS catered our wedding in September and people are still commenting on how good the food was! Tommy was so kind and professional throughout the entire process. The chimichurri bowl was so fresh and flavorful, the lamb was super tasty and the cookies were soft but not too soft. Highly recommend! read more

Tommy catered a dinner party for us this summer and it was fantastic! He was accommodating with food preferences/allergies and extremely easy to work with. Thank you for taking care of us! read more

EATS Cooking Company - Caterers Near Me - Truckee, California

AMAZING experience with EATS. We hired eats to cater our yoga retreat in Truckee. Chef Tommy put together a fantastic vegan and vegetarian menu for us and dropped off beautifully prepared dinners and brunches each evening. We felt incredibly spoiled and each dinner was better than the last (paella, jackfruit bbq, kebabs, enchiladas, elote, yogurt parfaits, chia pudding, quiche, breakfast hash, etc.). It was my first time trying jackfruit bbq, and the vegans in the group assured me it was the best they'd ever had (and I'd likely be disappointed by other jackfruit bbq). The food was beautiful too - I wish we had more photos but we always dove right in! Thank you, chef Tommy, for keeping us so well-fed and nourished!!! read more

I had the privilege of working with Tommy and his amazing staff for a wedding this past weekend and it was truly an amazing experience. The staff was on top of it, the food was great and Tommy even reached out to me after the event to make sure everyone was happy. Can't wait to work with EATS in the future. - Reverie Picnics + Events read more

Tommy at Eats Cooking Company is the best. Attitude, food, and general kickassery. Hire him!

Hands down, EATS is some of the healthiest and most flavorful food I've ever eaten! The problem is, being a food truck and private caterer, you're never sure where you're going to find him. During Summer 2022, supposedly he'll only be operating at Truckee Thursdays. 5 stars for the most amazing food 3 stars for a lack of availability read more

Chef Tommy prepared the most amazing meal for our wedding night! Tommy was so easy to work with an accommodating on customizing the meal to satisfy everyone in our small group! The food was absolutely delicious! We ended up having about a 5 course meal in a family-style fashion which worked for us and Tommy made it all happen!! Some highlights included a buddha-bowl-style salad, a creamy coconut potato bisque, cedar plank salmon, chimichuri beef roast, roasted veggies, and quite possibly the best potatoes I've very had in my life. I would highly recommend using EATS for any catering/event needs! Tommy helped make our wedding that much more special!! read more

Food truck is set up just outside Ace Hardware in Tahoe City. Amazing, unique, fresh food with fast and friendly service! My husband went yesterday when he was nearby and brought the family and some friends back again today. We got the Niman Ranch pork shoulder with the coconut rice and Jamaican black beans and it was incredible. Highly recommend stopping by when you're in Tahoe City! They have some picnic benches set up out front so you can sit and enjoy. read more

So this review of eats is for their food truck. I love their food truck. Did I say love? Maybe love isn't strong enough. I'm enamored with it. I look forward to the days that is open with all my heart. Their Buddha Bowls are why I leave the house during a pandemic. Honestly, their food is always amazing. I have not been disappointed once. And I have to say, I hate beets. Like I really hate beets. But I like the beets that they put on their stuff. I don't know why. But I do. There is something about the tasty combinations of different types of foods all put together that creates this delicious party in your mouth. And it's something I truly look forward to. I am not looking forward to when the eats truck will leave Dave's parking lot and no longer be available for me to indulge in. read more

If there were ten stars, I'd give Chef Tommy a hundred more! Chef Tommy catered our Tahoe summer Friday evening wedding and our Saturday brunch. His team on that Friday were so delightful and quietly competent. There to help rapidly without question but never ever imposing. And all of them with such sweet demeanors. And the FOOD was incredible! Tommy and I (the Mrs.) worked to create a phenomenal menu, a gluten-free and mostly vegetarian "high-end picnic" was my ideal for this sweet outdoor summer affair for 60 guests. He came with his vegan beet burgers, seared salmon, a blend of salads and such delectable toppings for the burgers. The presentation was gorgeous as well, all on beautiful platters. He really knew what to do without me having a worry in the world. He showed up with his food truck and like a ninja, set up the food during the ceremony so that it would all be served fresh directly after. The staff swooped in and cleared the tables while everyone was gathered around the cake table (that EATS had set up beautifully) and then the staff was by our side after the first piece to cut and hand out swiftly. Chef Tommy arrived on time for our early brunch the next morning (25-30 guests). By himself, he made gluten free pancakes, egg scramble, an enormous fruit platter, smoothies ... his food WAS the party! Some of our guests went up and had specialty omelets made. He is a total delight to be around, either with his staff or on his own. My husband and I are still raving about his food and we HIGHLY recommend him for any of your events, small or large. Tommy was so attentive and so effortlessly competent. He's a real delight to be around and just makes the experience SUPER delicious! read more

We hired EATS for a birthday party in Tahoe and they were fantastic. The food truck exceeded expectations and all the guests LOVED it. And this was a group of people with high standards from the Bay Area and NYC. The bowls were beautifully presented, healthy and delicious. They were easy to work with and we would love to hire them again for future events. read more

Working with Tommy at EATS was the absolute highlight of my socially distant yoga retreat. His food is incredible, fresh and thought out so beautifully, and he is such a pleasure to work with. He made sure to make our food extra special for the group and to really cater to everything we needed. Everyone on my retreat was so impressed with the food and wanted more! I will absolutely be using Tommy again in the future, thank you so much for such a wonderful experience! read more

Food truck. Downtown Truckee. Healthiest food in town (in addition to The Station). Reasonable prices. Little Truckee Creamery truck parked right next door. What's not to love? read more

I hired Tommy to cater my wedding this summer and have had such a wonderful experience so far I wanted to leave an early review. I will also leave one after the wedding. From the moment I contacted Tommy, he was kind, professional, and extremely easy to work with. As a stressed our bride planning my wedding from far away, I had a lot of questions that Tommy patiently answered and even took the time to always call me to go over any questions or concerns I had. He has been accommodating to any special requests I've had, offered to help with things I needed, and he never once tried to nickel and dime me. He cares deeply about the food he serves, working with vendors who care about the food they provide and ethical practices they follow, all while keeping his prices competitive with others (even lower than some). It is extremely clear he cares about his clients and providing them with the best service possible. If you are a bride searching for a caterer in the Lake Tahoe area, do yourself a favor and contact EATS- you will be happy you did! I have also heard nothing but good things about EATS from the other vendors I'm working with! I'm really looking forward to having EATS as a part of our wedding day. read more

Talk about amazing. Chef Tommy and his assistant Kippy were professional, friendly and the food wow wow wow. They were so accommodating to one of our guest with food allergies and they went above and beyond. The food was so good we could not stop talking about it the next day. I actually look forward to hiring him in the near future in Tahoe area as well. read more

Accidentally found this place while walking through Truckee. It was amazing - service was quick, very healthy and delicious food at reasonable prices, totally eco friendly, and the workers were nice. 10/10 would eat here again. read more

Tommy was so great to work with. From the first interaction, he was very accommodating and worked with me to prepare a menu that fit our budget for my sister's 40th birthday party in Tahoe. The food was fresh, the paella was delicious, and even the bread and salted butter were amazing! I highly recommend chef Tommy! read more

Tommy met every expectation we could have had for dinner tonight! He came and cooked for 6 of us at our house in Tahoe Donner. The food was amazing!!! I have never eaten so much! His personality melts in to the party and moves around you cooking, cleaning, and serving you delicious food while explaining the food to you. He is passionate, warm, and easy to have around. I highly recommend him for an intimate gathering or a larger group. read more

EATS Cooking Company - Seafood Paella! Yum!! - Caterers Near Me - Truckee, California

A large group of us rented a house in Tahoe and hired Tommy to make us breakfast and dinner while we were there. Tommy was really responsive and helpful with all of the coordinating and menu planning. He made many suggestions and we were able to finalize everything very quickly. He showed up on time and prepped/cooked/cleaned and everything was amazing! He was also generous enough to pick up other random things that we needed during our stay unrelated to the meals while he was already out saving us several trips to the store. I highly recommend Tommy and look forward to working with him again on our next trip! read more

We hired Tommy for a bachelorette party dinner. Tommy was so personable and professional and the food was beautiful and delicious! Definitely a highlight of the weekend. We are looking for another excuse to get to Truckee so we can have Tommy cook for us again. Highly recommended! read more

We had a pre-wedding Labor Day party at Sand Harbor for 100, and after I interviewed several caterers I knew that Tommy could do the job right. He was so easy to work with, communicated exceptionally well, and created a healthy, organic menu that was fresh and savory. Salmon on a cedar plank and lemon-thyme chicken on the grill, baby kale salad with strawberries, avocado and pickled onion, a watermelon salad with cheese, charred peppers and micro greens, wonderful passed appetizers, and everything gluten-free. Wow! His staff was excellent, and all the details were covered. Whether you are considering a casual BBQ for 20 or a seated wedding dinner for 150, I would trust Tommy to deliver what you want and how you want it. . . and pleasantly and graciously with your guests all very happy in the end! read more

The Buddha bowl is absolutely incredible, healthy, and fresh! They have a food truck in Truckee, CA, and I drive half hour just to get their delicious food!! I've lived in Tahoe for a year and this place is hands down some of the best food I've tried. They're super fast so it's great for when you're in a hurry. Not many other places offer fast healthy options. You are truly eating the rainbow when you eat here. Friendly staff and affordable prices too. Keep up the good work guys!!! read more

We hired Tommy for a private chef dinner for twelve people for our daughter's wedding at Crystal Cove in Lake Tahoe last weekend. Wow! The food was amazing and Tommy and his assistant were so helpful and accommodating. The food was so special and wonderful and he listened to all our desires when we planned the food. It was a very special dinner and Tommy made it all come together perfectly. His prices are reasonable and he's happy to work with whatever your budget may be. We highly recommend him and would love to have another of his great meals! He's the best! read more

Chef Tommy is AMAZING!! He has cooked for our group many times. His food is delicious and healthy. There is always great variety in every meal, making sure all diets are included. Every meal with EATS make you feel full and happy. EATS is definitely my number one. FOUR STARS ALL THE WAY read more

Tommy was everything that I was looking for in a caterer for our June wedding at a private meadow. He was easygoing without creating any concern that he wasn't on the ball. He was super easy to talk to, and I was comfortable telling him what I did and didn't want, asking for changes, and giving him feedback. He was enthusiastic about doing all veggie, was creative with the menu, and the execution was killer. He worked with me to find options that fit my budget (e.g., buffet style instead of plated main courses). Instead of doing a tasting of specific items, we found his food truck at a couple of local events to sample his style. His staff on the day-of was attentive, friendly and personable. I didn't feel like we were compromising anything on going with EATS. I'd recommend him and certainly use him again if I ever had the need. Thanks Tommy! read more

Tommy and his team are incredible at what they do. We arranged a backcountry hut trip for 15 people, and Tommy did the rest. He made some of the best and unique food I have ever had from a caterer, much less 3 miles out in the woods! I can't wait for another change to hire them, totally turn key and great way to impress guests. read more

Visited EATS yesterday at Truckee Thursdays. It was great, we shared the pork shoulder bowl, delicious! The pork was so flavorful and tender, and the pairing with coconut rice a cucumber was an excellent combo. Cant wait to try more from the chef, thanks Tommy for your yummy food! read more

Chef Tommy and the EATS crew is ALL TIME!!! I would highly recommend EATS for private parties, events, and even for a family dinner. Tommy's positive and high energy creates a warm and inviting vibe - he mingles and interacts with guests, making you feel right at home while he cooks and shares stories and chit chats. You just want to be around him watching his culinary skills and getting to know him. Tommy's food is out of this world!!! It is delicious and comforting - and always healthy and nutritious, made with organic and fresh ingredients. It's the kind of food that you can't wait to get home for when Tommy is in the kitchen. EATS has catered a number of our companies' small events, and all of his meals are crowd pleasers. Ask for the cioppino, his homemade soups, and the fondue dessert! EATS is 100% the way to go. read more

Chef Tommy with Eats was amazing! He cooked for our group of 25 friends and family while we were on our Lake Tahoe vacation. Our group's ages ranged from 75-4 years old and everyone was happy with his food! I was able to give requests and he followed all of them. The food was delicious, the display was nice, the price was reasonable, plus his personality was a great and kind addition to our group (he cooked in our vacation home). I would definitely recommend Eats and I only hope that you do not book him when we want to book him again! read more

Tommy is super sweet and his food is delicious. Everyone who works here are always a pleasure to be around. Had the Pork Bowl and the meats was SO GOOD! read more

Tommy and his crew created a phenomenal dinner for our wedding. The food was delicious and there were a variety of choices for both carnivores and vegans (try the Buddha Bowl). The presentation was outstanding - his dishes could be in a food museum! Everyone raved about how good the food was. Towards the end of the evening we had popcorn and roasted shishito peppers - they were a hit! On top of that, the food was on schedule which is vital for an event with a tight timeline. From a friendly crew to amazing food, you can't go wrong! Tommy was easy to work with throughout our wedding planning process. Thank you EATS for making our celebration a deliciously good time. read more

We are whole food plant-based (vegan) eaters and so very grateful to have found Eats Food Truck while visiting Tahoe City. Whenever we travel, we bring our own food and stay in hotels with microwaves and fridges as we can't count on finding restaurants offering healthy vegan food (with the emphasis on healthy, meaning no processed fake meat burgers). We hate not being able to try new food and support local restaurants when we travel - though "support" is a two-way street. Well EATS supported our health and we were able to support EATS. We ordered the Thai Vegetable Curry and Buddha Bowl. Both were fresh and super delish with a great flavor mix. We were on bikes so took our food to the waterfront to enjoy. I highly recommend trying the healthy tasty vegan offerings - your body and tastebuds will thank you! Having EATS in TC encourages us to plan a return visit sooner rather than later and bring less of our own cooked food as we can find sustenance at EATS! read more

Tommy was incredible. Not only was he very professional but he made the most fabulous meal. I highly recommend him for your next dinner gathering or party. The seafood paella was delectable and the chimichuri steak was delicious!! He left the kitchen cleaner than the way he found it. Overall fantastic experience! read more

Tommy and his crew provided the complete package and came through big time. He was timely, provided a cost conscience menu, and executed the meal perfectly. His passion for his work shined through and he made our wedding dinner a great memory. Thanks again! read more
