The Smoking Pot Nailed It!…read more Our family of 13 spent a week in IOP and one of the absolute highlights of the trip--a professional shrimp boil at our rental that completely exceeded every expectation! Our adult sons--who are serious foodies--were eager to try an authentic, professionally prepared shrimp boil, and we found The Smoking Pot. What an incredible experience it turned out to be! The Andrews are absolutely fantastic--so knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about what they do. They definitely know their blue crabs! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The food was amazing, the experience was so much fun, and they made it truly memorable for our entire family. We can't recommend The Smoking Pot enough! If you're in the area, do yourself a favor and book them--you won't be disappointed!

They were warm, engaging, and genuinely invested in making sure our group had an unforgettable evening. Their hospitality made the experience feel personal, not just catered.

They had everything setup and ready prior to the event starting and kept everything in stock in well order throughout the event. All the food was tasty, but the spinach and artichoke mushrooms were especially good. The staff was very polite and helpful, ensuring that any trash was promptly cleared and offering to take anything no longer needed from the attendees. Based on my experience tonight, I would definitely recommend them for their excellence in service.

From the beginning, all of our communication leading up to the dinner was clear and easy to understand. The hardest part was deciding on a menu because she had so many amazing options to choose from! We requested a very specific type of fish for one of the entrées, and Elaina was able to find it fresh and caught the very same day as our dinner. She was incredibly friendly and professional, the food was beautifully presented, and most importantly, everything was absolutely amazing! Our entire group of nine was so impressed, and there was more than enough food to ensure that no one left hungry. Every single menu item we ordered was fresh, delicious, and beautifully prepared. She also took care of clearing and cleaning all of the dishes and the kitchen after preparing and serving the meal, which made the entire experience feel completely effortless for us. We have already agreed that this needs to become an annual tradition, and we cannot wait to enjoy another dinner with Elaina!

He is always creating new dishes and also has a personalized menu for your appetite. Just talking to him you will get the vibe you have to meet him and see what he is to offer in every plate.

Front door. Love the kid sign... cute story...Chef's son named the place . This is a brilliant…read moreidea. Chef Chuck has some big names on his resume but the real seller is when you try his food. You've been warned, you'll crave it. The concept, home cooked meals that you grab and go. I believe he will even warm them up for you if you call about an hour ahead. He's been selling out of a lot of things lately so get there early if you can! The chicken salad is unlike any chicken salad I've ever had before. If I was a chef, maybe I could explain it better but this is not remotely close to what you get in the grocery store where someone plopped a can of chicken, mayo and pickles together. This has levels of flavors and I'm not even sure how to describe it.

Every quarter, our Scout Troop does a Court of Honor where we recognize the accomplishments of the girls from the last few months. Each Court of Honor is set up for a pot-luck dinner where each family brings in something to share. I thought about making mac n cheese myself, which I'm highly capable of doing, but thought, why not support a small business who I know can make some kick-ass mac for the girls. Pickup was easily scheduled and completed. I arrived at the event with a huge tray of gourmet mac n cheese, and I think maybe I brought enough back home for me to have as a side for my next meal. Total winner with the families involved in our event. Excellent flavors and texture in each bite. Would recommend The Good Cooker for meals at home or for catering any event in the future.

It is difficult to put into words my appreciation for Graze Craze, in Mount Pleasant, SC…read more Our son found himself taking over the planning of a weekend trip to SC with 10 good friends. Celebrating their friendship before the first of the group gets married, our son wanted everything to be perfect! Since they were arriving at different times, from all over the country, I decided to call Graze Craze, just hours before their arrival, in a last minute attempt to provide some nibbles for these young men to enjoy after a long travel day. Without hesitation, Keith (who I had never met) made a few suggestions and got to work immediately, it seemed! Just a couple hours later (literally), and unbeknownst to me, he had, not only, prepared a beautiful board, but it was delivered and placed in the refrigerator BEFORE my son arrived! (Okay! His timing was perfect, as the property manager just happened to be there which allowed Keith to have access to the home!) Everything fell into place perfectly yesterday for both my son and me and it all started with a last-minute phone call to Graze Craze! Our son and his buddies have nothing but glowing compliments for Graze Craze. And this NC mama is a new customer of our sister state's Graze Craze! Thanks a million!!!
