I highly recommend this establishment for your catering needs. The owner, Emma, was very accommodating to me as I was trying to set up a lunch reception after my father's funeral on short notice. I am out of town but received excellent recommendations from my local relatives and the funeral home. Emma was able to squeeze me in to her busy Saturday schedule and prepared a beautiful luncheon for our guests this past weekend. The presentation of the food was excellent and the food was yummy as well. read more

We hired Grade-A to cater our daughter's wedding weekend. We had several guests come in from out of town, so we had G-A cater our reception in Cookeville, as well as brunch the following day at our home in Rickman. We first met with Emma and Debbie to schedule the reception. I was feeling somewhat overwhelmed by the task at hand, however, they were both pleasant, professional and very helpful in making suggestions for food and organizing how things should flow in the set up and program. Once we settled on things, it only made sense to have them cater brunch the following day. On the day of the main event, I was there while they were setting up and they seemed to be operating like fine machinery. They were quietly setting up, everyone seemed to know their role and things got done very quickly. The food was absolutely wonderful! Everyone enjoyed the buffet style meals, the dessert station and they also provided staffing for the bar, and she was also awesome! Then, they came out of nowhere to clean-up. They quietly did their thing and you barely noticed their presence while they got things done. The following day, they delivered brunch, along with all of the wrapped up left-overs from the reception. We did not have to worry about packing anything up and getting it to our house, they just brought it all out with brunch and it worked out perfectly for us. Okay, but can we just talk about that hash-brown casserole for a minute? OMG! So good!!!!!!!! Everything was so good. Thank you to Emma and staff at Grade-A for providing such a complete service for us. You had come highly recommended to us from past clients and everything was perfect! read more

First, planning our event was overwhelming for me, but all the staff were so pleasant as I asked questions. Called lots of times fine tuning the event, and the staff was every so warm and friendly. I felt like I knew them personally when I finally delivered the final check. The annual Christmas party had over 60 attendees, and I cannot say enough good things about the food, staff, and service. They did a wonderful job. The reviews from those that attended raved about the food. Comments were the chicken was moist and tender, to fabulous appetizers yummy desserts. I highly recommend them, and I know I would not hesitate using them again. If you want a successful event, these are the people who know how to do it!!! read more

The folks here are wonderful to work with. They were flexible with our company's needs. All the staff was friendly and a pleasure to have as part of our event. The food was so yummy. From the salad, delicious macaroni and cheese, cornbread, BBQ chicken that was tender and of course to die for brownies. I can't say enough about how pleased I was and how thrilled I am to be able to work with them in the future. Christy and her helper were great with our employees and customers. Thank you all. read more

Green beans are terrible, like mush. I prefer not to eat from here. Employee put hands in salad.

I was at a meeting catered by Grade-A recently, and the food was excellent. We had turkey wraps, chicken salad sandwiches, and fruit kabobs, and everything was delicious. The items were high quality, fresh, and tasty. Among the group, there was discussion of previous excellent experiences with this company. They have a strong reputation in the Upper Cumberland area. read more
