CATERING REVIEW!!!
Ordered catering for a baptism party. We looked all over in the area for catering on a Sunday, disappointed to only find many places closed or unreasonably priced. We drove to Nicks, met with 2 managers (I believe) and they helped put together a spread for 30 people.
We ordered a tray of chicken fingers, that appeared to be hand cut and hand breaded. They were cooked perfectly and Nick's Place provided enough condiments for a years worth of chicken fingers. They were intended for children, but were so delicious they ended up on the adult plates too.
We also ordered a tray of meatballs (that had melted cheese, probably mozzarella), that came with 6" rolls to make 1/2 subs if we pleased. Included were 2 containers of grated cheese. I am not sure if the meatballs were homemade, but they sure tasted it. There was a green leafy ingredient within, either basil or oregano, which suggested that they were indeed homemade. If they were frozen, they were the best frozen meatballs I ever had. They really tasted like a homemade crock-pot meatball.
In addition, we ordered a tray of chicken, broccoli, ziti (or penne, I forget) with a garlic oil that was delicious. It could have used a little more broccoli for aesthetics, but it was loaded with garlic and delicious. It also had huge chunks of delicious marinated chicken.
Lastly, we ordered a tray of sausages, peppers and onions that also came with finger rolls. The sausages where cut the long way/diagonal, yielding nice big pieces/slices of sausage. The peppers and onions appeared to be fresh and hand cut. All of the components were grilled and returned to a tray where they continued to marinate in a flavorful sauce/oil.
Not to forget, but I can't remember if we ordered garlic bread, or if it came with it....but it consisted of sub rolls, cut in half, that were buttered, spread with garlic and seasoned. It doesn't sound fancy, but it was delicious with the meatballs.
When the order was delivered, the driver carried all the food inside and helped place the items where we requested.
Everyone absolutely loved the food, and a couple guests said they would be contacting Nick's Place to set up future catering events.
FYI, what I described in this review, was MORE than enough food for our party. We were sending guests home with to-go containers. If I could do it over again, I would have asked Nick's Place to provide styrofoam containers in the event of leftovers.
Do not turn a blind eye to Nick's Place for catering because it's a sub/pizza shop. They did an amazing job catering our event! read more
