FFTK was a recommended vendor by our venue and we are SO glad we chose them to cater for our wedding. The food was absolutely delicious and fresh! Our favorite was the Cheese Tortellini with Red Bell pepper sauce... yum!! We chose to go with a buffet set up and the team was super quick to get our guests fed quickly and efficiently. During the planning process, Noelle was always quick to respond to emails and super accommodating for our guests dietary needs. Thank you and your team for all you did to ensure our guests were well fed at our wedding! read more

Highly recommend Fresh From the Kitchen! Attentive with the yummy hors d'oeuvres! Melt in your mouth prime rib and chicken. Attentive! Clean and organized. They cater for holidays as well! Their Thanksgiving dinner was fabulous! read more

Cocktail party at private home for 28 guests Servers arrived on time Set up without issue; did a beautiful job arranging the tables and decor Bartender set up without issue and did a great job serving and refilling glasses FOOD WAS DELICIOUS! Many wonderful compliments. Favorites were the Thai Chicken Satay, Short Rib Tacos and corn croquettes. There were no leftovers of the Shrimp & Sausage skewers and shrimp cocktail, so those must have been winners. The blueberry almond cheesecake was heavenly. The servers cleaned up immaculately. I did not find one piece of trash. I appreciate that the trash did not end up in my trashcan. They also loaded the wine glasses into the dishwasher and ran it. That was a lovely, much appreciated touch. Also incredibly thoughtful were the To-Go containers. Not only could my guests take home extra but at the end of the party the food was all neatly stored in my refrigerator. And the best thing they did was to label the containers. So very thoughtful and appreciated. Suggestions in planning were helpful; super responsive and easy to work with. I have no doubt that I will use in the future for more parties. read more

I attended an event that Fresh from the Kitchen catered and their food was outstanding. I am plant based and have other allergies and they accommodated me so well!! I had plenty of protein which is usually a huge issue since so many people think plant based means no protein or very little. They even provided me with a vegan dessert which is also so rare! I was a very delicious and creative meal. The other people around me were also talking about how delicious their food was. I highly recommend them for any event that you are needing a caterer for. read more

I had Fresh from the Kitchen cater a wedding brunch for 60 people. Everything was above and beyond my expectations! The food was absolutely amazing. The bananas foster French toast was out of this world along with the made to order omelet bar and beautiful fruit platter. The mimosa and Bloody Mary bar topped it all off! Do not think twice about hiring Fresh from the Kitchen for your next event! read more

I had FFTK cater my wedding. If it wasn't for the bar portion I would give 5 stars! The food was amazing and the service was amazing! A very sweet staff! The bartender seemed very upset and frantic all night. I was told to provide certain condiments and it was not used. Alot of our guest complained.. not about wait time just about attitude. When I went to get a drink with a friend I noticed she was overwhelmed so I apologized to her and said I would write a review for all the hard work she was doing and she said "I don't need a review. I need money!" and I proceeded to apologize and told her I would make sure everyone would take good care of her. She seemed to be having a bad night. I would have loved if we could have just had a self serve bar where I wouldn't be afraid to ask for a drink. read more

Fresh From the Kitchen Catering was AMAZING for our recent wedding! We booked FFTK about a year in advance for our wedding, and throughout the months leading up to our wedding, Noelle and her team were always available and prompt in responding to any questions that we had. Our wedding was a destination location in Cottonwood, AZ, and FFTK made the trip and was well prepared, prompt with timing, and helped make our wedding night perfect! FFTK had a very cute and romantic dining setup for the tastings at their Phoenix location, and we ended up having a fun date night together while sampling our food selections for our wedding. Our server that evening was so polite, fun to talk with, and VERY knowledgeable of the food preparation/ingredients and the catering services. We truly enjoyed our tasting and recommend going to their location to do a sampling! Noelle helped prepare an amazing meal and experience for everyone the night of our wedding. We had bar service, appetizers during cocktail hour, and plated salads and entrees for our reception. Our plated dinner for 85 guests was PERFECT! The entire FFTK staff was so friendly, prompt, and polite. You could tell they truly were enjoying themselves. The food and service was phenomenal! It was fresh, well prepared, served to our guests perfectly, and everyone was so complimentary of how good everything was! The presentation was also beautiful. Noelle and her team at FFTK are THE BEST! Look no further than FFTK when searching for your catering needs! read more

Amazing! Noelle, her staff, and vendors did a top notch service for our company's holiday party for our employees! Food was delicious, staff was professional, bartender made/suggested amazing drinks, and the décor was lovely read more

The food from Fresh From The Kitchen (FFTK) was spectacular. We attended a tasting and got to sample a number of options before making our choices. To say we were looking forward to dinner would be an understatement because that was a constant topic the whole day. Noelle was great to work with and very professional throughout. We also rented our chairs and tables through FFTK, which made things even easier and was one less vendor we had to go to for the items. read more

Owner Noelle and her team did an excellent job with my mother's birthday party. Noelle was my main communication throughout the process. We opted for the Indian Palace menu as a drop and go. The Fresh From the Kitchen Team member came on time and set up chaffing dishes, décor (which I wasn't expecting) and a framed menu. The food was EXCELLENT. We ordered for 30 and had enough for 40. Entree for vegetarians and meat eaters, rice, Naan bread and a peach cobbler. Everything was good. Fresh from the Kitchen will be my first choice when considering a caterer. read more

We have hired Fresh From The Kitchen twice for office events and Noelle and her staff have been so wonderful to work with! FFTK is very accommodating and the food is absolutely delicious! Staff acts with such poise and are all delightful. FFTK also does a beautiful set up for events. read more

Noelle, thank you so much from the bottom of our hearts and bellies. They say that "food is memories" and to this day, when eating caprese skewers or having bowtie pasta, we're immediately taken back to our wedding day. Your food was such a hit, even the more persnickety eaters had compliments for the samosas and crispy polenta bites. We knew right away when we met you that the food had soul, quality, and authenticity - especially considering all the places you've traveled! My only regret is not being able to take-away that pasta or having more good-eating LOL! Thank you for taking a special day and making it all the more memorable. We can't wait to tell our friends about you! read more

Fresh From the Kitchen never disappoints! We have used FFTK for work events and always have a positive experience with the caliber of their food and their incredible staff. They have the most attentive team who truly take time to ensure a great customer experience. Definitely recommend. read more

WOW! I've never heard so many people raving about wedding food as I did after our reception. I wish I could give them more than 5 stars. The food was AMAZING (We had the Glazed Meatballs/Chicken Wontons/Caprese Skewers for cocktail hour and then FFTK Spring Salad, Mashed Potatoes, Mixed Vegetables, Chicken Picatta, and the Roast Beef Carving Station). I originally wanted plated but we loved the carved meat and went with buffet style. The buffet still had such an elegant feel/display/and service. The staff served the food and made the process go so smoothly. I'm not kidding when I say people couldn't stop talking about how great the food was. We're SO HAPPY with our choice! Thank you x millions to Noelle and her staff!!! read more

Have you ever dealt with a company or person that you just couldn't stop gushing about because they were so accommodating, nice, and helpful? Noelle at Fresh from the Kitchen was - by far - one of those people/companies. Her willingness to help with every detail (i.e. linen choices, chair and table rentals, vendor recommendations, cake delivery, etc) and stay within my specified budget spoke volumes. From planning the menu to signing the contract to delivery and setup and the actual catering, everything went off without a hitch. In fact, Noelle personally delivered my linens and oversaw initial setup - this woman is amazing! Now on to the food: First, allow me to mention that the server was quiet, courteous, helpful, and unobtrusive. She made the waffles at our brunch buffet that consisted of: Belgian waffles (made to order) Farm fresh fluffy scrambled eggs Lox with dill, caper, and red onions Maple turkey sausage links Country skillet red potatoes Fresh fruit skewers All the food was hot (except of course the fruit), fresh and delicious, particularly the *enormous* serving of lox. Although being my wedding day, I hardly ate but a nibble of everything but based on the rate of consumption by my guests, I'm sure of my opinion. The only one negative in this sea of positives is that the red potatoes were undercooked. I loved working with Noelle and Fresh from the Kitchen and highly recommend her; if I ever need a caterer again, she'll be the first person I call! read more

Wow, what can you say one you are so lucky to deal with a wedding vendor who went ABOVE above and beyond!? I simply don't think you need to read paragraphs to understand how fabulous Noelle and her team are. Fresh From the Kitchen was one of the results I found quickly and right away in my search for a wedding caterer. From the wedding forums to poking around Phoenix options, I found them pretty easily with my search parameters of vegetarian. I hesitantly reached out not knowing how versed they would be in these options (yes, this sounds ridiculous, but one might be surprised!) and enthusiastically received a same day reply assuring me they could handle ANY vegetarian/vegan request, and included sampled menus. Simply, I would trust Noelle with any cuisine. You know how there are foods or restaurants where you say "I could make this better at home," and on a night where you don't mind putting in the work, you do? And how there are those dining experiences that you go out of your way for because "I can't make this as good at home, plus I don't want to buy xyz random ingredient, etc.?" Fresh From the Kitchen provides that second option. The absolute wow factor you are looking to be blown away by. My menu was amazing - salad, light and fluffy rice, excellent variety of roasted vegetables, falafels with tzatziki and fresh vegetables, and green chile tamales with cheese and green chili sauce. Our appetizers were fruits, cheese, etc., plus chips, salsa, and guacamole. I am lucky to have had one bite of salsa, thanks to our photographer! Back to the wow factor - this team knows how to layer flavor. All of the food tasted comforting like you made yourself, but with the depth that only a professional can provide. From the zing of the yogurt sauce to the absolute perfect balance of acidity and heat in the green sauce, everything is seasoned to perfection. Oh, and did I mention Noelle was so easy to communicate with, and postponed our event for us!? She is that type of person. From meeting her at the tasting to being lucky enough to have her at our event, every interaction I had was over the top nice. Her entire staff was pleasant and kind. I would use FFTK again in a heartbeat, and frankly, I hope I have a reason to sooner rather than later! Please, reach out and plan the menu of your dreams with these excellent people. read more

I cannot say enough good thing about Fresh From the Kitchen. I had a small COVID friendly wedding and I wanted to create a truly luxurious dining experience for my guests. And let me tell you, THEY DELIVERED. My guests could not stop raving about our food. We had bacon wrapped scallops, arancini, the most delicious homemade bread, succulent olives, such a cozy potato soup, filet mignon, and I am not kidding, the best cake I have ever had in my life. In my life. I told my husband my favorite part of our 1 year anniversary will be eating the frozen top of the cake we saved! It was white cake with raspberry and cream filling. Even though the food was incredible, the most unreal part of the experience was the service. Every server was kind, present, and so so helpful. Wine and drinks were kept flowing and the pacing of the food was perfect. I was overwhelmed by the kindness of Noelle the owner and her entire team. If you are having an event and want 1st class food and service, hire Fresh From the Kitchen. I cannot wait to use them again for my next event! read more

Fresh From The Kitchen - Truly the best cake ever. - Caterers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

Fantastic! Fresh from the Kitchen Catering provided the perfect Thanksgiving feast, and plenty of leftovers. Highly recommend.

We cannot say enough good things about Fresh From the Kitchen. Noelle, the owner, is very kind, knowledgeable, and she listens to what you want. She is very communicative and professional. She is a talented chef and she won us over during the tasting. Get the tomato soup and grilled cheese! We repeat: Get the tomato soup and grilled cheese! We loved it during the tasting and kept looking forward to it on our wedding day. All of the food was delicious but those items were the favorites among all our guests as well. We really appreciated that they were able to serve the bridal party separately so we could eat before we got pulled away again to do pictures. If we could, we would be happy to work with Noelle and her team again for other events. Thank you Fresh From the Kitchen for being such a wonderful addition to our wedding! read more

We were so happy with the food served at our wedding by Fresh from the Kitchen. The food was fresh, as promised, and delicious! We really wanted to serve organic, locally-sourced food at our wedding and found that Fresh from the Kitchen was one of a few caterers here in Arizona that provide this service. We attended a couple of tastings hosted by Fresh from the Kitchen to sample their food and select our wedding menu. Everything we tasted had wonderful flavor and we valued the variety in their menu options. We especially admired the team's flexibility! They traveled from Phoenix to our wedding in Sedona, Arizona and set-up an outdoor kitchen next to our creekside venue. This added to the complexity of our wedding, but everything ran smoothly and you'd never know they set it all up from scratch. We appreciated actually getting to eat the food as we know many brides and grooms don't get the chance to eat at their own weddings. Our Fresh from the Kitchen team brought us plates within minutes of sitting down at our reception and came back several times to see if we needed anything. We really enjoyed working with Noelle Salinas, the owner and head chef of Fresh from the Kitchen. She is a very talented chef and we found her to be incredibly responsive to our needs. We would highly recommend Noelle and Fresh from the Kitchen to anyone looking to hire a professional caterer! read more

We used Fresh From The Kitchen Catering for our office Thanksgiving lunch and the food was absolutely fantastic! Never in my life have I said, "That cream corn is incredible!" This is the side dish to the side dishes people, the lowest rung of the Thanksgiving meal ladder, and it was incredible. Naturally the rest of the meal scaled up accordingly. I have zero complaints whatsoever. The proverbial cherry on top, the presentation was fantastic as well. I don't think a single person would have cared if the presentation was all that good as long as the food tasted fine, but everything was above and beyond expectations. I absolutely cannot recommend these folks enough. Here's hoping everyone else can have as wonderful an experience as our office did =) Happy Holidays to all! read more

So we were super excited to taste some of the food with FFTK, as the reviews on Yelp were great . . . but we were less than impressed. We went to a tasting - where they should be showcasing their best options. It was a small party of maybe 20 in their showroom. The beef - AMAZING. Everything else? Not so much. We had heard from several event coordinators that this place was the best to work with. Some of the apps weren't cooked consistently between mine and my husband's. We just weren't impressed. We also came across them at an open house at a wedding venue where they were serving a couple of things to try - again the beef was amazing, but the pasta sauce was separated and didn't look appetizing. We're glad we didn't pick this place based on reviews alone. read more

Man I love this place , we had a business meeting here and the food was exceptional and the owner was so down to earth. Thank you for the great food !! read more

Fresh From The Kitchen - Amazing food ! - Caterers Near Me - Phoenix, Arizona

We used FFTK as our caterers for our wedding at Bella Rose and we were extremely satisfied with their service. We went for our complementary tasting to pick out the food we wanted and they made it such an easy experience and all of their food was amazing it was so hard to pick. Everyone at the wedding complimented how delicious the food was, even my super picky sister said the food was really really good and went back for seconds. The staff were very polite, outgoing, and exceeded our expectations. I am very pleased we went with them for our wedding, if you use them you will not be dissatisfied!! read more

Fresh From the Kitchen catered a wine tasting event at ASU law school and they were amazing! The Covid-safe charcuterie boards were delicious and jam packed with goodies - an adult Lunchable on steroids! 10/10 recommend. read more

Noelle, the owner was a dream to work with. We wanted specific food; tomato soup and grill cheese shooter, a Smores bar surprise for my Husband. A slider bar for late night snacks. Everyone was raving about how wonderful the food was. She even gave us kid options and made vegan dishes for our friends. I mean she made it easy and the food was delicious! She also made our cake which was AMAZING!!!!! french Vanilla with raspberry filling.  I would use again, and need an excuse to! Missing the dream food already!! read more

Noelle, the owner was wonderful to work with. I recently hired her to cater a large scale corporate event and it all went so smoothly. She was very quick to respond and send over a quote for us. The chocolate mini cakes "Gateaux" were too good. We had so many happy guests. I would hire this catering company again and highly recommend her services. read more

Noelle was very easy to deal with for our wedding and the food was amazing! The guests raved about it, and we loved it too! We did have a few hiccups that weren't major, but something to be aware of: 1) One of our bartenders was a no-show. After reaching out to Noelle, she immediately offered us a refund. 2) The food was delayed by about 20 minutes, and there seemed to be some miscommunication about dessert plates. They said they didn't have them, and then they found them, so our cake cutting wasn't until super late. The staff kept in communication about both of these the whole time. The staff that I dealt with were all very friendly! Overall, none of this had any major impact on our event, and we had I great time! I would definitely recommend considering Fresh From the Kitchen for your events! read more

Noelle is amazing! She is sweet and very helpful. Also the food....OMG the food. Generally, weddings aren't known for good food but ours definitely was. Everyone loved every bite! It was delicious and artfully made. Veggies were cooked but still had a crunch. The pastas were amazing....and the salad....I am hungry writing this review. If you want amazing food at your Arizona wedding AND someone who will help you with rentals and decor you should hire Fresh From the Kitchen. read more

As a wedding photographer I eat a lot of catered dinners. Fresh from the Kitchen is at the top of my referral list for brides. Always predictably delicious! I got the chance to enjoy their SMORES bar last year and look forward to it again :) read more

Attended a party at my family's home and FFTK catered. Food was great! Decor was on point......they even improvised a flower arrangement on the spot! Very professional and friendly. They were great! Sometimes you have to hire out for separate services like flowers and chair/table rentals, but they brought everything with them. It was great! read more

We used Noelle and her team for my daughter's wedding in March. If I could give them a ten, I would - WAY above and beyond, and so very flexible. The food was fabulous - really, really delicious.

We had fresh from the kitchen cater our wedding at Bella Rosa estate. I could not be more happy with their service and their food. Fresh from the kitchen also supplied plenty of small sweets that we had at our dessert table. Everything was fantastic and beautifully displayed. All of our guests raved about the food! I would absolutely recommend fresh from the kitchen for anyone seeking a caterer for their wedding or any other event. They were on time, food was delicious and served very quickly, and all of their service staff were helpful and courteous. Thank you fresh from the kitchen for making our special day absolutely wonderful! read more

We cannot thank Noelle and her team enough for their amazing service and delicious food. Every single wedding guest came up to us and said that the food was the best they have ever had at a wedding. Noelle was extremely helpful during the planning process and responded to every question I had for months with a pleasant and professional attitude. She even crafted a signature cocktail that blew our guests away. There was nothing that Noelle said no we can't do that and made everything work for us. Not only did Fresh From the Kitchen do our entire bar service, cocktail hour, linens, table rentals, appetizers and dinner- they catered the most delicious donuts for our donut wall. Her team was exceptional and went above and beyond to make our wedding perfect. read more

Bride to Be's!!! USE FFTK FOR YOUR ARIZONA WEDDING! I cannot say enough about how incredible this company is with the founder Noelle at the helm. Working with Noelle from day one was impeccable. She helped me every single baby step of the way from tastings to the final day and my wedding wouldn't have been the same without her. She puts so much passion and hard work into her company and it shows. She answered every email and every little question I had super fast (and I had a lot, thank you for putting up with me Noelle ) and made me feel comfortable and taken care of the entire time. Now let's talk about the food. Flawless, delicious, beautiful...my family and friends from NYC and all over the country raved about the prime rib, roast chicken, mashed potatoes, and vegetables, not to mention the price!!! I researched so many wedding caterers in the AZ area and you cannot beat her prices for the high quality food and service provided! Oh and the cake! Best cake I've ever tasted (cinnamon cake and ladies, we never thought that would be our wedding cake flavor and DAMN IT WAS DOPE). Our guests said it was the moistest yummiest cake they've ever had at a wedding. Her servers were impeccable and took care of me and my groom the entire night even putting aside a whole platter of the passed appetizers from cocktail hour so we could enjoy them after pictures. The whole staff went above and beyond. During our buffet dinner, the woman running the show that night served me and my groom and got us drinks throughout all of dinner. And when we ran out to do sunset photos, she took our plates and kept them warm in the kitchen. Also, the bartender and packages Noelle offers are fab. We provided our own alcohol and the bartender she sent was awesome and fast, never a long line! And he provided mixers, water, soda, and a bunch of other drink amenities. Also note that she provided a cake stand, set up our menus and favors on our place settings, pre-poured champagne for our guests right on arrival at reception, offered to provide and arrange all linens and dance floor (at cost of products, but she handled it all) and worked with our budget every step of the way. And so, in closing, FFTK and Noelle accommodated everything we asked for and, as you can see, I cannot say enough. Thank you Noelle for everything! If I did it all over, I would use you time and time again! read more

Look no further than Fresh from the Kitchen for your wedding catering needs. They are amazing! Easy to communicate with from day one all the way up to the event itself. We did a private tasting, which I would recommend to anyone, and were very happy with our experience that day. I'm not kidding that we were blown away the actual day of the wedding. The private tasting was good. We were impressed. This is why we picked them to begin with, but the actual wedding food was SPECTACULAR. These guys know how to deliver. We did a buffet and you would never have guessed it. Would have thought they cooked every one's dish individually. They are so professional and really have it down. We used them for catering and bar tending and couldn't have loved the staff members that were sent for our event more! They really took care of my husband and me that night, always making sure we had a drink in front of us if we wanted one, and making up plates for us while we were finishing up pictures to make sure we actually ate. Countless guests told us it was the best wedding food they'd ever had. Couldn't have been happier with our choice to go with FFTK. My only regret is not being able to eat even more of that glorious food!!! Hopefully I'll attend another event someday that they are catering! read more
