SO...I'm going to start by speaking positive. This young man has the POTENTIAL to have a great…read morebusiness going. I did not know him before, I got his information on yelp. I asked him to help me cater a BBQ for 50+ people. 1.) He provided me with an initial tasting. 2.) He offered to roll the costs of tables, chairs, and chaffing dishes into his fee, which was very convenient for me! He even offered to come the day before to help setup. 3.) I asked for a second tasting to fine tune the menu Items I was having for the BBQ he stated that he would cook the chicken on site the day of... I explained to him that BBQing chicken on the grill takes SKILL and that I prefer the chicken be baked, or parboiled and then placed on the grill. He assured me that wasn't necessary. Here's what I asked for, and what I got: I ASKED FOR: I told him that I did NOT want chicken or any meat in my pasta salad and wanted it to be a veggie pasta salad. I also requested that the HUGE pieces of cheese that he put in the pasta salad either be left out or cut smaller or replaced with a less dry cheese WHAT I GOT A "Veggie Pasta Salad" with chicken and HUGE pieces of cheese...after my vegetarian friends found meat in the pasta. I ASKED FOR: General Tso Wings and Medium Spicy Jerk Wings WHAT I GOT: Wings that looked the exactly the same and were under cooked and had to be put back on the grill and into the oven the next day. (RAW WINGS ON THE GRILL MEANS UNDER COOKED INSIDE AND OVERCOOKED OUTSIDE. I ASKED FOR: Nice hamburgers...I SPECIFICALLY SAID I did not want the cheap thin hamburgers WHAT I GOT: A big pile of cheap thin flying disk hamburgers that were dry. The deviled eggs were completely doused in paprika and were not served to the guests and remained in the fridge until someone asked about them...the same for the fruit salad that looks like it prepared days in advance and not fresh. After the food was setup we were spinning around digging through the dishwasher looking for serving utensils because the caterer that I paid 4 figures to did not bring serving utensils. THE MAIN ISSUE HERE I am a small business owner myself...I called Mr. Chase and asked to meet with him to talk about how the event went. I texted him not less than SIX TIMES and each time he would give me a date and then either not respond or came up with a reason not to meet. I am assuming this is because he is aware that the event did not go to plan. He has avoided speaking with me (see photos) and THAT is the sign of bad business practices. I even had a church that wished to hire him and still never responded. A business like this survives off of word of mouth and referrals. I was hoping that general feedback and a conversation would provide some encouragement and opportunity for growth. This is apparently something that Mr. Chase is not interested in. My suggestion: PROCEED WITH CAUTION!

I'm not on the southern side too much, so it was my first time ever seeing or hearing of this truck. There was a selection of tacos, baskets, sliders and sides. They had some tacos I was not used to seeing, such as smoked brisket tacos, sweet chili shrimp tacos and haddock (fish) tacos. I got a shrimp and haddock one for myself... OMG... they were bursting with the flavor and the aiolis (jalapeno and sweet chili respectively) were delicious with them -- you can see the other ingredients on the menu. It's o random side, yes, but I got the seaweed salad with them and was so delicious. I was quite satisfied from this meal alone, but I later on wanted to get nachos. I got an order of chicken ones, and... all the yes. I loved the chips, sauces and everything else that came with it. I don't know when I'll get to see them again, but when I do... I can't wait to try something new.

I think it may have been slightly colder than it was hot, but the flavor was still wonderful. Salad was fresh, crunchy and a hefty dinner portion. Perfectly layered, very well done salad.

It's in the same Plaza as the Amish market, so there's plenty of parking. I stepped inside and there were a couple of chairs for waiting along the window. Otherwise, it's a small open space and there are desserts on display, I'm in you to read, and very polite staff behind the counter. I decided to get the blackened salmon and shrimp entree with collard greens and mac and cheese. I got their salts at caramel banana pudding for dessert. I decided to use my insulated bag and wait until I got to my friend's house to eat. I love the shrimp and the salmon. They were seasoned well, but not to a point of tasting too salty, which can happen at a lot of soul food restaurants for me. Unfortunately, despite the good flavor, this was the case with the collard greens, whew. Also, there is turkey in there, so don't get it as a vegetarian option! The mac and cheese was good... Not sure where I would put it in my rankings, but I enjoyed it. That banana pudding.... Whoa. It was the perfect dessert, and I would happily get it again. The salted caramel and banana balance surprisingly well. Their top rankings are well deserved, and I am looking forward to trying their wings and other items next time!

I will start with a positive- the servers were very kind! And now I will give my bottom line- DO…read moreNOT USE THIS CATERER! The owner is a complete FRAUD! My experience with the caterer started out very well, the food at the tastings were great, the package that included linens- from another rental company and centerpieces from an established florist sounded great. The presentation of the food at the second tasting was also great. She was flexible with my vision and my requests. Two weeks before my wedding everything changed direction. I still had not seen the centerpieces that I made very clear I needed to approve and see in person before a decision was made- I was promised that the date was coming a few times. THE WEEK OF MY WEDDING- things got horrible. I was sent an email by the owner ( which I would be willing to share with anyone who is thinking of using this caterer) asking me to approve a list of items, the last one being that "Yvening will begin cleaning at 9pm and leave the property at 10pm" While I thought it was odd that she would leave before the wedding was over, I checked with my coordinator who told me that it wasn't uncommon but that she would probably get her rentals the next day or that following Monday as my wedding was on a Saturday. I sent her an email to confirm and to my utter dismay- she responded that she planned on removing linens and centerpiece vases between 9pm-10pm 3 hours before my wedding was over and while guests were still sitting at the tables. My coordinator even offered to remove them herself and take them to the owner the next day and she still refused to leave them. We had to cancel that part of our package and purchase 23 sets of vases and 23 sets of linens the week of my wedding, and all she could do was offer $400 back. On top of that, she sent me a 1 in x 1 in picture of a bouquet that could have been purchased at a grocery store and put in the email "We hope you like it". I had not seen, felt, or smelled a bouquet at this point. I had to get my god mother involved who used to own an event planning business to get this person to agree to let me see the flowers first and she didn't allow us to see them until THE DAY BEFORE MY WEDDING! After this was all taken care of I ALMOST breathed a sigh of relief- it rained the the morning of my wedding, God blessed us with sunshine 25 minutes before the ceremony was supposed to start, things were late, things were wet, but I was the happiest bride in America at that moment... UNTIL I walked into the reception tent and sat down. Throughout the entire process my fiance made only one request: Hot Good Food! The bread was cold- no biggie. I had decided on a two entree smaller portioned dinner rather than one normal sized entree dinner. I chose 9 in lunch sized plates instead of a traditional 10-11 inch plate. At the tasting we chose- herb crusted chicken breast, a sweet potato cake, macaroni and cheese in corning ware dishes and warm kale salad we were so excited( and again at the tasting the food was good- I have 6 witnesses). for our 200 guests to see and taste this food. SO imagine my little bride heart dropping when the server sat down a 4-5 in tea cup plate with chopped chicken on top of glory greens and a cupcake paper holder with a spoonful of dry macaroni and cheese in it and didn't even bother to serve the sweet potato cake! IT WAS HORRIBLE!!!!! She didn't provide the guests menus and it took her over 30 minutes for the 6 servers ( which was supposed to be 12) to bring our the second entree so the guests started to LEAVE because we had open bar and they were all starving and disappointed by the low quality disaster dinner. Some of our guests ended up receiving a second entree, some did not and some went and asked and were told there wasn't any more and one of my bridal party members went back there later and saw the servers making to go containers for themselves. The last thing that I will mention on this review is that we had a beautiful and delicious cake from Fluffy Thoughts. We got it on our own. We got a 3 tier and a sheet cake because our guest number went up closer to our wedding date. I reviewed with her that she would take our tiered cake and the sheet cake to her caterers tent, cut, plate and serve them all. She cut the sheet cake on the dessert buffet table and left it on the table, she never cut our wedding cake and on her way out, I saw her about to leave and asked her if she planned on cutting the cake, she said that she was told not to cut the cake and was seen a few minutes later butchering my cake and when we saw it the next morning it looked just that way, that someone had chopped at it with the wrong type of knife and in a hurry cut the cake. We were promised to go containers and never received even one! I did not eat dinner nor did I have cake at my wedding. Hiring this caterer was detrimental to my reception and the WORST decision WE MADE!! DO NOT FALL VICTIM!

I purchased an Amazon Local deal from this company for 5 delivered meals. Immediately tried to set up delivery. Um, no. First available slot 6 weeks out?? WTH? Tried to set up that date and then no longer available...but did have another available in another 4 weeks. ?!?? Give me a break. Finally took a slot ridiculously far out (we are talking 3 months this has been going on), provided menu choices, etc. Never heard back. Emailed to follow up to confirm my delivery time and was sent a request to provide my meal choices again. WHAAAT? You received them. Played their silly game and sent again. And guess what...no longer available. Needless to say I never got to try the service. In addition to wasting my time, LOTS OF TIME, emailing back and forth, trying to follow up, etc., they decided to cancel me. Told me to contact Amazon Local - and "so kindly" provided the phone number - to get a refund. What a great way to do business...NOT. I would not recommend this company to anyone. A company who is not interested in honoring what customers buy is bad news. If the company didn't want to do meal delivery, DON'T OFFER IT. And don't waste my time! RUN, don't walk to a different company. This one is horrific. and I do have all the supporting emails to back this up, as I am sure they will claim I never paid for the service and don't know who I am, lol.
