Cindy just catered my wife's 50th birthday party. My wife wanted a taco bar. The spread Cindy put…read moreon was absolutely AMAZING! We planned on 50 people and she provided enough food to feed all of the personnel at JBLM. OK, that may be a slight exaggeration but there was sooooooo much food no one went hungry and there was plenty for people to take leftovers home. My wife and I are mexican food connoisseurs and I'm telling you, Cindy's taco bar with all the fixins was some of the best we've ever had. In addition to the amazing food, Cindy's set up and clean up were also amazing. We didn't do anything except enjoy the party! Thank you so very much Cindy!!!

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. That's all there is to say about Cindy's Kitchen Catering…read more ..No, wait, I have more!! Do you have a big event coming up, like a baby or wedding shower, birthday party, retirement party, etc.? Do you not feel like making the food yourself or doing a potluck with your family who can barely make toast? Still want that home-cooked taste, attention to detail and display that To Go doesn't offer? Look no further than Cindy's business! (*edit to add, my family CAN cook... sorry mom) While planning my daughter's 1st birthday party, I had lots on my mind. I realized I did not want to organize and cook all the food while trying to clean AND decorate. Yelp and Cindy's Kitchen reviews to the rescue....! Cost was extremely reasonable. She took my order over the phone, and payment was simple through app/invoice sent to email. Even better, Cindy delivered all the food right on time, set up, and picked up her platters afterward! We ordered the turkey & ham sliders, veggie pizza, mac & cheese, and Italian pasta salad. ALL delicious, plentiful portions (many took home leftovers!) and what a great menu to choose from. When Cindy is rich and famous, I hope she remembers the little people like me who appreciated her talent way back when. :)

The waitress that sat us was a local girl from HI with a beautiful smile and so we already knew we were in good hands. The menu had both breakfast and lunch options, enough items to satisfy every family member's taste. And the portions are huge. Sister 2 ordered three tacos that she said was just ok. She also ordered the blueberry cheesecake pancake that was pretty good. Sister 2 ordered chicken and waffles. That was a high piece of chicken. This was pretty good. I ordered the American omelette that I thought was pretty good. Unfortunately, no rice. Potatoes were well seasoned. I normally don't finish my wheat toast it the jam was really good and so I was able to eat enjoy both slices of toast. Items are reasonably priced. And yes, I would come back in the future.

Food is just as good as when they were in Yelm. They have a few of their yummy desserts but still waiting on the military's approval to make and sell there famous sourdough bread rounds. Service was great and the facility is really nice. It's open to the public. There is plenty of seating, a fireplace, roll up doors for the summer with outdoor seating and even a golf simulator.

This was our second visit to Pellegrino's, and we really enjoyed it both times! It's a tiny little…read moretwo-story restaurant, and we've sat upstairs on both visits. The upstairs is small and intimate, which gives the whole place a cozy, unique feel. Our waiter this time was a young gentleman who was incredibly friendly and did a great job! Three of us ordered Coors Lights in bottles, and he brought them out ice cold with a chilled glass to pour them into. When we ordered a second round, he let us know he had just put some more in the freezer, so it would be a few minutes. That little extra step made a difference...we'd much rather wait a few minutes for an ice-cold beer than have it brought out warm! I ordered the spaghetti with their house-made Bolognese sauce and added a meatball, and WOW. The sauce had the perfect combination of slight sweetness, a little spice from the sausage, and that tangy tomato flavor. So good! And I'm usually not a huge fan of restaurant meatballs because they can be tough or rubbery, but this one was soft, juicy, and packed with flavor. Sean got the lasagna and absolutely loved it! Our friends who invited us out ordered the steak and spaghetti Bolognese, and everyone was happy with their meals. The steak was cooked exactly how it was requested, and the quality of the food for the price was really good. Overall, Pellegrino's is just a great little place. Warm, inviting atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food, and a fun, intimate setting that feels a little different from your typical Italian restaurant. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a place to enjoy a good meal with friends. We'll definitely be back!

Driving from Seattle to Portland, wanted lunch and found this place on yelp one hour into the…read moredrive. It has lovely atmosphere. Staff was super friendly. They served warm rolls with a nice infused olive oil, yum. Ordered the meatball parm sub. Was average in taste. Perhaps grilling the roll would prevent it from getting mushy as it sat. So close to 4 stars. I woukd return and try something else.

City Picnics

City Picnics

Absolutely would not recommend for catering…read more The biggest issue I had with city picnics was that ten of our vegetarian sandwiches had ham in them. Not only that, but when I called staff the next day that our office was open (which was delayed by a weekend and a snow day), they raised their voices at me and explained how I was wrong and how it is impossible for them to have meat in their veggie sandwiches. Well obviously not since that's what we had.. and without a doubt this was the most unprofessional experience I have ever had with any business. If you follow my reviews, you know I am a fair person who has only once ever given a business a one star review. I don't do this lightly because I know that my review can have an impact on a business. But I've been in event planning for several years and have never had a worse experience than with City Picnics. We had a few communication hiccups, but nothing I haven't experienced before - catering is a hectic business and delivery to the Capitol Campus can complicate things even more. Completely understandable and not a big deal. They offered basic sandwiches with chips got a great price, and we were excited about not having to give an arm and a leg to provide lunch for our group. The biggest issue I had was, again, that ten of our vegetarian sandwiches had ham in them and instead of owning up to their mistake and apologizing (or at least lying about being sorry..) they argued with me, raised their voices, talked over me, and were extremely rude. When making sandwiches for upwards of 130 people, mistakes can happen. We're all human. I tried to explain that yes, it did happen, it's a pretty big deal that they should know happened, and that they should look into HOW it happened so that no other groups need to go through what we did with frustrated guests. I'm not sure why they think someone would lie about this for ten sandwiches.. but maybe they didn't hear me since they were pretty busy talking over me. I was looking for an apology and "we apologize" or "we're so sorry that happened" wasn't said one time. Instead they insisted on arguing with me repeatedly for a mistake they say is impossible but clearly happened - there were 100 witnesses at lunch. I wasn't asking for a comp of those sandwiches but after that argue fest and their unprofessional handling of my order I jumped to accept when they offered it for the 10 mislabeled ones. They won't be receiving my support again, and I'll be sure to pass along the message to colleagues who do large events on the capitol campus annually. Save yourself the trouble and spend a few extra dollars per person for professional service elsewhere.

We had City Picnics cater a class reunion picnic for 90 people. We could not be happier with the…read moreservice, food quality and how genuinely nice they were to deal with. They were incredibly efficient - everything was set up and ready to go at 1:00 pm, just as we had requested. We got the whole crowd through the line promptly. The food was excellent. True, it would be hard to screw up burgers, hot dogs and chicken on the grill, but the real test was the potato salad, which was wonderful. Everything was fresh, tasty, and clean. They stuck around and helped us clean up after we ate. The price was more than fair, a great value. The remarkable thing is that this was a crowd of crabby old people who complain about everything. But we had no negative comments about the food or service. Thanks to Holly and her co-worker (whose name I didn't get, unfortunately) for a really nice meal.

First off, parking is fabulous, it's a shared parking with several other businesses. I used to live in NC and as walked in, I felt like I stepped into a Carolina BBQ joint! The decor is very rustic Americana. I loved all the signs! They were playing college football on their large TV's and one TV in the back was playing children cartoons on the TV. We were greeted by a very friendly lady with a beautiful smile. Excellent customer service! We ordered the family pack which comes with Brisket, chicken and pork. 6 jalapeño cornbread muffins and 2 sides we chose tots and smokey mac & cheese. We also ordered a side bowl of brisket chili. For our sauce we chose Flaming hot and Carolina Gold. Oh that Carolina Gold sauce is so delicious Everything was delicious! So juicy and melt in your mouth delicious I highly recommend trying all three meats! The brisket chili was delicious! I poured the brisket chili over my tots and omg! So delicious. The portions are huge! I will be having BBQ all weekend! I will be back! Highly recommend!

We got the beef brisket and two sides meal. And the Mac and cheese with sausage. The meat is SO tasty! The portion is right on the money for the food truck! The baked beans are genuinely tasty Tasty and the Mac and cheese is rich. Might be too rich for some. The sausage included with mine had also phenomenal flavor. With the right amount of saltiness. I'd be curious to see if portions Change at the restaurant, though to be honest, when food is THIS good, it's better to control your portions! Great visit and look Forward to someday stopping by the restaurant.

There's outdoor seating available but me personally, I have to be away from bugs, birds and heat when I'm eating. Ordered coconut shrimp for apps and crab cakes for entree. My son had the cedar plank salmon to try for the first time. All pretty tasty, there were no complaints. I also asked our waitress what she recommended for dessert and salted caramel cake was calling my name. Not too sweet and was perfect to end the meal. I was truly satisfied with everything we ordered and completely full. Our waitress was very friendly and we had a pleasant conversation. She was able to give us info about Olympia since this was our first time in the area. There's also a nice walkway along the marina to view more boats and restaurants.

I gave a 5 star rating a year ago although visited several times since then. I can't figure out what happened. Did the chef (s) move on, or pass away and a crew from a local fast food restaurant was hired as a replacement? I ordered the meal with filet, crab leg, lobster (portion?) with baked potato and Death by Peaches for dessert. I have had crab legs here before. This had been boiled until there was no flavor, and very ittle meat. And that was the selling point for me. The lomaster was fine but the sauce wasn't hollandaise as the bartender said. A watery, mustardy sauce. Not terrible but not very good either. Ordered filet medium, came well done. I took it home hoping to add to chili but too tough to eat. Took the baked potato home to save room for dessert and it was good. The real slap in the face was the dessert. I have ordered Death by peaches over and over and was never disappointed. What arrived was a heavy, dry, dense cake without much flavor, some peaches and a small scoop of ice cream. It needed a lot of ice cream or peaches to get through it. I left most of it. I don't mind splurging and I have without complaint but this was such a a disappointment. Most of the patrons were older and I had to wonder if management feels their expectations are lower? I will close by stating that wait staff and bartenders are top notch. Including Isiah from yesterday. Above and beyond even with a busy crowd. Never a complaint about the service. You are no longer my go to restaurant that I can depend on. Oh, had two drinks that were fine but the wine list is meh.
