I'm so grateful to Jim and his team for catering my 160-person wedding. Wolfies catering was the…read moremost "on our team" vendor we had, going above and beyond by supplying a large selection of non-alcoholic drinks, coordinating rentals (and returning them himself when the rental company couldn't pick up in time), cutting and serving our cake, and even stacking/putting chairs from our outdoor ceremony once the food service was finished. On top of all this, the food was absolutely delicious! During the planning process, Jim was kind and accommodating - all in all, a delight to work with. In addition to phone calls and emails, he came out to our venue multiple times to ensure that a plan was in place and that all city requirements were met. The only area which could have been improved was speeding up throughput through the buffet by making it double-sided. However, with the otherwise exceptional service from Jim and his team as well as the fantastic food, they are very deserving of a 5-star rating!

They set us up beautifully, gave us great guidance on the furniture choices and how to best maximize limited space, and worked out the best way to set up/serve the food with minimal use of our kitchen space. I would absolutely recommend them, and we would absolutely use them again. WONDERFUL experience.

He was incredibly helpful with picking the menu and his suggestions and questions helped to think through all of the details. When I was unsure, his suggestions were perfect. I was able to coordinate and plan from across the country and he managed everything locally including selecting the right room at the facility for our event. Little details to big were all handled perfectly and the evening was low stress for me. All of the guests commented on the food and the caterers with high complements. I would use them again and would highly recommend them to anyone. Thank you Bryan, G and Liam!

The food was incredible and the presentation was elegant and lovely. The staff the day off could not have been better. They set up and broke down quickly, they were attentive but not overbearing, and everything was seamless. They made the best of a very difficult day for us - we didn't have to worry about anything with the catering from food to serving and that made it so much easier to manage everything else.

They are unlike any other caterer or venue - they let us customize our menu entirely and this is their normal practice! Plus everything was DELICIOUS! Our coordinator, Catherine, was so helpful and communicative. We called her Catherine the Great! And Chef Kevin is a treasure and real artist with food!

I was recommended to go to Pauli's for lobster rolls. I had previously tried a lobster roll out in…read moreWestborough, and I was genuinely disappointed. This place redeemed whatever it was I had in Framingham. The place is pretty small. I just ordered at the counter, and the person taking my order was super friendly. Wish I got their name for a shout-out. There's not a lot of seating in the establishment; it feels like the place is meant for a very quick meal. FOOD: I got a hot buttered lobster roll and it came with a side of chips. I actually ran into the owner while I was there, and he had explained that their lobster rolls are unique in the sense that they actually toss their lobster meat in a pan with butter. You can really taste it. Buttery lobster heaven. Would definitely come again if I'm back in Boston. I could probably eat ten of those hot buttered lobster rolls in one sitting and have no regrets.

Forklift created a 100% vegan menu for us, and the food was DELICIOUS and so BEAUTIFUL! We were really blown away, and got many compliments from guests. We felt like it really demonstrated that you can have a 100% plant-based menu at an event and have it be crowd-pleasing. Thank you for everything, Forklift! We'd love to work with you again.

Forklift's…read moreprofessional sales and event management team were incredible partners in the development and execution of a spectacular event every step of the way. They were always available to address any question or concern and were so adaptable to every plan change (down to just days before the event). They even functioned as our florist and arranged breathtaking floral displays to enhance the ambience. The catering staff and chef produced and provided great food that were the highlight of the event; I heard from everyone how much they enjoyed it (even had some on-call colleagues who gladly answered our calls because they knew they were going to be fed great food during their shift). Forklift is a top recommendation for any high-caliber catered event you might need.

I'd definitely recommend her if you're planning an event.

Falafel Wrap: First time trying falafel wraps. Falafels are supposedly fried hummus balls, but these didn't look fried or like balls; they were probably just lightly pan-fried and a bit clumpy. The hummus was smooth and creamy, with a noticeable hummus flavor. As a vegetarian option, despite the refreshing carrots, lettuce, and cucumber, it was a bit dry without any sauce.

We got the Backyard BBQ package with hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken and steak tips; all delicious, juicy and tender. They had a wide variety of homemade sauces to choose from, and the sides were a hit -- we chose the smoked corn and black bean salad, potato salad, and green salad. All their staff were friendly and helpful, they left everything spotless and even packed up the leftovers in to-go boxes. The also gifted us with a cute boxed sampler of their BBQ sauces!

When my husband and I first decided to find a personal chef we thought "maybe this will help, we…read morecan't keep eating out, it's killing us." Neither of us really knew what a personal chef service looked like. We love cooking but we didn't/don't have time during the week to cook. We hoped we'd get more vegetables into our diet at a minimum. That not eating out would mean less of the white devils (sugar, salt). I reached out to The Skinny Beet in a frenetic and desperate state last December. Since they've entered our lives the sun is shining, the clouds have parted and Mondays are happy (re: they are miracle workers). We have been a weekly client with The Skinny Beet for almost 3 months now. At the end of 1 month we reached out to them and shared a list of each positive benefit directly or indirectly related to hiring them as personal chefs. I would like to share this list with you (reader of my review): 1. My husband and I spend more time together. 2. We portion control better. 3. We work out more (have time to work out). 4. We feel better: less groggy, less irritable, more energy. 5. The food they make tastes flavorful, wholesome and satisfying. We get to eat our favorite cuisines with less of the sugar/salt and more grain/vegetable variety than what we know how to cook. 6. We waste less. 7. The brain space we wasted thinking about what to eat, what to cook, when to go pick things up, crap-I-forgot-an-ingredient --- Poof! Gone. Which, working full time while part time grad school, any and all brain space I can allocate to my work is priceless for me. From Week One: Flexibility with schedule and menu planning was made easy for us - We come home and our kitchen tools and pans lovingly (and somewhat expensively) acquired over time are clean - There are delicious dishes made with quality ingredients ready for devouring in the fridge. We are so grateful for the difference The Skinny Beet has made in our quality of life. Seriously, I wasn't kidding: Miracle Workers.

Well in just a couple hours we were able to cover SO much ground. From making a delicious salsa and homemade chips, to a steak and a chicken, even farro with caramelized onions. Not only did I learn tons of REALLY helpful skills that I've already been implementing, but I had delicious food that lasted me for a handful of meals THAT I HELPED MAKE! They brought all their own ingredients and left my kitchen completely spotless (possibly cleaner than how they found it) I am so thankful to these two and I look forward to our next lessons.

It was amazing to have 3 different and equally delicious (and gorgeous) pizza options at a station while the rest of the apps were passed around!

Oh Jolie is now my go to caterer! No need to go elsewhere! Also, the app choices were vast and mouth watering! Such a great crew with delicious talents! Thank you so much again! Here's a picture of Joe and me at the party! Lastly, I should mention that not only did they make our night, but they were so easy to work with during the planning part. Rosa was very attentive, friendly and flexible. I knew instantly that I found the right caterers! Thank you Rosa, Joe and Tony!
