EJ's Custom Catering is truly a blessing. I first discovered them in 2021 during one of the hardest times in my life--my dad had just had a stroke, and I wasn't able to cook for Thanksgiving or Christmas. EJ's stepped in with incredible food that made the holidays feel comforting again. Since then, they've become my go-to whenever life gets overwhelming or when friends are recovering from surgery or illness. Every single time, they deliver with care, consistency, and delicious meals that feel homemade and full of love. They never disappoint. I've already placed my order for Thanksgiving this year, and I'm genuinely excited--because I know it'll be amazing. If you're looking for a catering company that goes above and beyond, especially when you need it most, EJ's is it. read more

We ordered food to pickup from EJ's. Their email instructions gave this lockup instructions: Pickup instructions Follow the Cones and Arrows, there will be someone to check in with as you enter the parking lot to your right, give them your name that the order is under and proceed to wrap around the building to the tent and Semi-truck where our team will load your order into your car. No signs, cones or people as indicated. Went inside promptly instructed to go out to my car and txt them I was here then come back to pick up the order. The employees we rude. read more

We cannot thank EJ's Custom Catering enough for the excellent food and exceptional & thoughtful service. It was like having new friends there to help us celebrate our 50th wedding anniversary THANK YOU SO MUCH Earl & Nancy R. read more

Delicious food, wonderful friendly purveyors. Easy, hearty, "homemade" meals. Give them a try, you'll be pleased.

We hired Ej's for our 40th anniversary dinner. The server was professional and kind, the meal superb, and they even cleaned up all of the dishes! I am hiring them again for another event next month! Thank you for a job well done!! Five stars!!! read more

We've purchased multiple meals from them since a few years ago. We found them offering meals at a local pickup market. Since then, we've enjoyed every meal. The holiday specials they do are awesome. Today they offered Mother's Day specials, of which we chose the prime rib dinner. The coolest thing is that they'll modify to a keto friendly option when available. The meal came with a green salad, which was a great mix of greens, mixed vegetables, and stuffed mushrooms. This was the best meal we've had from them. We highly recommend folliwing their Facebook page for specials as well. read more

Best Thanksgiving Meal Ever!!!! This amazing business gives so much to our community! Last September, my son was in a serious car accident that resulted in him being in and out of the hospital and not eating solid foods for months. Our name was selected by EJs to receive a full thanksgiving meal. It was not just a meal to us. it exceeded all my expectations. I do believe there is magic involved for everything to taste so fresh and homemade. From The deliciously moist turkey and gravy to the fresh crisp vegetables all topped off with THE Best PUMPKIN CHEESECAKE we've ever tasted. It was the first real food my son could eat and it was such a special time for our family to sit down and really enjoy being together. Thank you EJ,s for the best Thanksgiving to date, and memories we will treasure forever! read more

My family absolutely loves this place. We order from here almost once a week! No where else can you get an excellent hot and ready meal for 6 people in Black Diamond under $50. Mon-Fri (including holidays) you can order online through their site or after 3pm day of on their Facebook posts. So don't fret if you forgot to order ahead. They also carry smaller meals with 3-4 servings. They even have gluten free and keto meal options available. The steak n shrimp, chicken pot pie and Parmesan potatoes are some of my favorite entrees and sides! My teens can't stop eating the Mac n cheese, even if it somehow made it to a 3rd day in a row! They can't get enough. Sometimes I have to buy a pan of just Mac n Cheese for them the next day. Heck, EJs makes salad and veggies taste great too! Their cheesy creamy keto vegetables are phenomenal. I really want to try the stroganoff so I'm going to order that next. On your next busy night, do yourself (and your sanity) a favor and order from EJs instead of cooking. It's truly a meal the whole family will love. read more

Fantastic food-simply a thing to behold. My family and I got a few half order's (the only full size was the wings that are pictured). The aroma of food and the various flavors melding with one another was just spot on. Still hot even though the staff were busy and running around trying to fulfill their customers orders. All and all it was a wonderful meal and we have plenty of leftovers which is always a plus. I highly recommend this place as many have commented prior. In a time where we don't know what tomorrow will bring, this place brings you a little comfort food for the soul. read more

This was our first experience and it was disappointing. For background info (my husband is a chef & aware of food handling, food safety, etc.) we love to support local small businesses which is why I placed an order. We got the meatball subs, homemade jojos and pasta salad. The bread was burnt on the ends (like charred black) inside was still soggy from the melted butter or oil. Didn't matter where you bit, it tasted like natural gas. Like the propane from grill. The homemade jojos were so gross. They were soggy, tasted rancid, most definitely cooked day prior (big no no with potatoes) and I took one bite and they went straight to the trash. Pasta salad was the only semi-decent thing & he almost forgot to give it to me when I picked up. We will not be a repeat customer. read more

It has never failed us when getting EJ's Catering that the food is phenomenal. The meat is never dry, the sides have great flavor and the customer service rocks to the point that they make us feel like family. No matter if it's your first time or 20th, you feel the love. Thanks again for the great food and awesome hard work you put in. It has not gone unnoticed. We appreciate you ! read more

EJ's Custom Catering - This is the coleslaw. I didn't get a chance to get a picture of the rest because everyone dove in too quickly lol - Caterers Near Me - Black Diamond, Washington

We had EJ's cater our daughter's wedding and I can't express enough how impressed we were. The food was terrific, stayed warm and they promptly served all 250 guests. I heard compliments all night long of how impressed our guests were with dinner. EJ's staff was professional, attentive to our guests and worked so hard al night. Our entire experience was perfect and I can't recommend them enough. We had bistro steak with gorgonzola cream sauce and chimichurri sauce, champagne chicken, mushroom risotto. roasted veges and an amazing salad. All the food was fresh and served hot, perfectly prepared and enjoyed by all. read more

Listen. If you live in the MV/Black Diamond area and you're NOT ordering from EJ's... you're doing life all wrong. I wish I could give 10 stars. The service is always impeccable. The menu is always diverse and creative. The food... THE FOOD IS PERFECTION. Better than any restaurant in the area. We've decided that we'll start ordering on Sunday night, pick up on Monday, and then our family of 3 can eat on it all week. But I've used them to cater parties and you can't find a better deal. Anywhere. 10/10. Highly recommend. read more

EJ's Custom Catering - This mushroom risotto is TO DIE for. - Caterers Near Me - Black Diamond, Washington

The more I think about the food that was delivered to my son and daughter-in-laws otherwise PERFECT wedding the more disappointed I get. It was inedible!! The chicken was not the chicken ordered, the shrimp was so over cooked that it was mush, the steak was leather, the potatoes were not as ordered, and the risotto was burnt. Your servers were the only redeeming quality but what you served was awful. None of us let it ruin the otherwise perfectly planned day, but as a caterer you should be ashamed of yourselves. In my opinion you are NOT!! You should not charge for the very subpar meal delivered!! read more

Ejs caters our Annual Christmas party. Their food is always delicious. they are always on time.

We ordered their steak Gorgonzola. Omg it was so good as well as the sides. And so much food for the price!! Def will order again!!!! Tina and Steve read more

Ordered the turkey breast dinner for tonight and some mashed potatoes to take to thanksgiving tomorrow. $60 and again the value and quality can't be beat. Service right to my door and a warm dinner to eat. They are such nice people and the food is good. I also want to note that sometimes there is too much salt and butter in catering food but that is not the case here, the green beans were tasty and not covered in butter. read more

The first time we had a steak with mushroom risotto ...yummo. then ended the night with peach turnovers. Even garnished with a beautiful edible flower. My daughter loves that it was"fancy" lol read more

THE BEST! We love Ej's. The food is seriously fantastic! Not only do we send Ej's to anyone who is sick, just had a baby, needs a good cooked meal, we use them birthdays and holidays. Order, you won't regret it! read more

I highly recommend EJ's Custom Catering for your corporate events, weddings and any occasions. My favorite is the bbq pulled pork, beef brisket and mac n cheese. The family meals are delicious. The portion sizes are huge! I will definitely order from them again! read more

These guys serve home cooked meals you can pick up in Black Diamond or they will deliver to your home in the Maple Valley,Black Diamond or Covington area.The food is reasonably priced and will serve four people with plenty left over.We have eaten all there different offerings and they are all great. read more

I am impressed! This week; 12-17-19 We ordered the chicken fried chicken, potatoes, carrots, and dinner rolls. It was, 20 minutes early, and delicious! We ate too much! Then on 12-18-19, we had the steak, potatoes, shaved Brussels, (with tons of bacon) and bread. This time they were, on time ( you pick a delivery window) the steaks were tender, full of flavor. The potatoes were awesome, and the Brussels are so good, I'm a fan now! Again it was delicious and, again we ate to much! Now for the same amount of money, as 4 chips and sandwiches, at the local sub shop. ($46 after tax) I can have these meals. Right after Christmas, I'll be ordering every week. read more

We had EJ's for my daughter's high school graduation party. I called a few weeks early and they were already booked, but Michelle was able to squeeze us in. My daughter and I both have celiac and my daughter wanted everything gluten-free. Michelle again came through for us! We got the pulled pork and mac 'n cheese with all the fixin's. The only thing she couldn't have were the rolls. Everything was AMAZING and Michelle made it so easy!! We will definitely use EJ's again! read more

After reading the reviews, we went all in with EJ's for our Christmas Dinner to the tune of over $500. Following are the results, which were unanimous with our family: 1. Prime Rib - Bland preparation and over 1-1/2 lbs. of fat on an 8 pound rib roast. How do you ruin prime rib?? 2. Ham - overpowering fruity sauce that we washed off before anyone would eat it. 3. Stuffing - Very dry and under seasoned. Had potential, but fell short. Too salty to even put on potatoes or stuffing. 4. Gravy - A total salt bomb. Got two sides and threw them both away. 5. Cheesy Potatoes - Whole Yukon Golds for a start, more tasteless, cream dressing than cheese. Should have been prepped more like au gratin potatoes. Threw 3/4 of the pan away. 6. Roasted Veggies - Tasteless and in large pieces, to spite. 3/4 to trash. 7. Green Beans - Nothing to talk about. No special seasoning. Chickens wouldn't even eat them. 8. Mac and Cheese - Clunky, dry and tasteless. Was it cheese powder? More than 1/2 thrown away. 9. Fruit Crisp - Sour canned cherry pie filling. Pfft. The mashed potatoes had flavor but were dry and not at all creamy. We are a family that has traveled extensively and have used caterers in the past, all with good outcomes. Hopefully, we were just the last order and, thus, drew the short straw. read more

We hired EJ's based on a recommendation for our wedding and we are SO glad that we did! We mainly worked with Michelle during the planning process and she was so easy to work with and really listened to what we wanted. Communication was great and any changes we wanted to make there were no questions asked and were accommodated. We did a buffet style of different pastas, salads, and sides. Every one of our guests that we have spoken to has ranted and raved about how it was some of the best food they have ever had at a wedding. We also had passed hors d'oeuvres during our cocktail hour that were delicious! The staff they brought in were super friendly and interacted with our guests which made it a great atmosphere during the cocktail hour and while dinner was being served. We had a bigger wedding of 200+ and during dinner being served the staff made sure nothing was ever empty which kept the line moving. Our venue did not have a kitchen on site but you would have never known EJ's had to prepare it before arrival because of how fresh everything was! Once dinner was over they were quick to clean up and were discreet while doing so since dinner had also been served where the reception was taking place. Overall, the experience was beyond our expectations and EJ's really was able to give us peace of mind when it came to our big day. Which if you have ever planned a wedding is HUGE. Definitely recommend them to anyone and everyone! read more

My daughter's physical therapist recommended EJ's as a great option to have for a home cooked meal that you can have delivered... I've been working a lot of OT right now and cupboards were getting a little bare so I decided let's try it out..I had to make a quick call first since my daughter has a peanut allergy and first phone interaction was excellent. We decided on the jambalaya and the online ordering process couldn't be easier...Delivery was spot on (I chose the 4:45 time slot).. Delivery interaction was also excellent, the gentleman who was delivering was very friendly and made sure that I would be okay with the trays since they were hot... My family converged immediately to the kitchen where before we even opened our trays up there were lots of oohs and aahs of how amazing the food smelled.. And our food was delicious! Everyone loved the flavors on the jambalaya (very flavorful).... And my daughter who is not generally a fan of Caesar salad loved it! She had 3 servings.. Oops maybe I wasn't supposed to share that... Loved the nice finishing touch of the flower which we put in her hair..And so happy that we have leftovers! All in all we very much enjoyed our meal and I will definitely be ordering again... read more

I'm ecstatic to find that they serve vegan or vegetarian dinner options! My first time trying out their service. I ordered quinoa stuffed peppers, rolls, caesar salad, and corn. I didn't have to rush home to cook dinner, etc. Food was delivered before I arrived home, and the family had the food set up at the table, for a change. It looks like the dinner could last us 3 to 5 days. Everything tasted great, and I can't wait to try their other dishes! read more

We are in isolation because of my health. A dear friend ordered us a EJ's dinner~ It was a wonderful meal~ THANK YOU for offering really good food.. EJ's is highly recommended! read more

Wow! So I kept seeing this EJ's Custom Catering on Facebook and was intrigued, but assumed this was for large parties at venues, so I never inquired further. Wow! What a mistake... I guess they send out a menu with maybe 3 options every week to choose from. You can order for 3-4 people and it goes up from there. And tons of add ons from mac & cheese to cranberry salad and I don't know what else. Tons! So we decided to order chicken, pasta and salad for 3-4 adults. A-maz-ing!!!! Chicken with pesto, tomatoes, mozzarella and balsamic. Don't worry, there's plenty! Pasta with marinara and cheese on top. Caesar with dinner rolls. Did I say Wow? Oh, and don't forget the little cupcakes that you can order. Not sure the company they come from (don't think EJ's makes them in house) but they are soooo good and EJ'S is smart to partner with whoever the heck they are! Just all around great experience. Delivered hot and fresh to my front door. Way better than typical take out from the restaurant down the street. Homemade goodness and it shows!!!! read more

Tonight we tried their home delivery service for family dinner. We got the large portion and fed 4 with a whole meal left over. Amazing awareness of food allergies. The meatloaf was delicious!!! Roasted potatoes (dairy free) were wonderful. And the home delivery- AWESOME!! Can't wait to try more meals. read more

We used EJs for our wedding and couldn't have been happier! They were a breeze to work with and I loved having a simple yet amazing meal for our guests.We had a Mexican themed dinner and it was great because no matter what food sensitivities, everyone was able to eat something! You guys rock! read more

We ordered from EJ's Custom Catering last week. Not only did the dinner show up hot and ready to eat (delivered), but it was delicious!!! I can't wait to see what the menu is for next week so I can plan to order another meal for my family! Online ordering is clear and easy to manage. Delivery is included and arrived 10 min early :) read more

I would recommend EJ's Catering to everyone! The food was excellent!

Amazing food! We have used them for catering at home and at our kids school events. We are now using them for dinner deliveries. I can't say enough about these guys! read more

Eric catered an even that I attended recently and I was amazed at the quality of the food and the presentation. Eric was very personable and made the event have the ease of a sit down dinner with family. Every guest was amazed at the variety of dishes that were served as well as the taste of each dish. It was nice to know that everything was made fresh and most of the ingredients were acquired from local markets. Way to support your community Eric! I would recommend Ej's catering for any event. read more

EJ catered a birthday party for our extended family last week that was VERY reasonably priced and absolutely delicious. Each dish tasted like homemade, but even better--with a chef's seasonings and artistry. The portions are large, and we enjoyed leftover salads and yummy pulled pork the following day. I would absolutely recommend EJ for a large event or for a family event at home, rather than a restaurant. The cost will be far less, the food far better, and you'll have a much greater ability to visit with your family. read more
