I contacted Ida's to provide desserts for my mother's memorial service. Not that it matters, but…read moreI'm planning this from the West Coast, so I'm not familiar with caterers in Toledo. I contacted them because of good reviews and an appealing website. I told them right at the beginning that it was for 40 people and I wanted desserts only. They sent me a price sheet (listing multiple items sold by the dozen). I called with a few more logistic questions and the rep told me "we don't sell just a (a = one in my world) dozen of anything," so when I sent in my order I ordered two dozen of multiple items. She never said I could only order ONE item for that small of a group. I got an email back saying "Thank you so much for your time, but I don't think that we will be able to accommodate this." More than a week has gone by since initial contact and now I'm back to square one to find a caterer in Toledo who can provide excellent desserts. Their food might be great - I can't attest to that. But word-of-mouth is a caterer's livelihood, and I simply cannot sit back and not make others aware of poor customer service.

We had the chicken and pork tenderloin along with some mashed potatoes and veggies. We also got to try 4 different types of roles. The chicken was too salty on the first bite, but as you ate more it definitely mellowed out and was great. The pork on the other hand was fantastic from the first bite! In the end we decided to go with them for our event and I can definitely recommend them based on the quality of the food we were served.

For our wedding reception, we needed to hire a caterer. This was the first time we had done so, so…read morewe were unsure of the process and where to start. We contacted Blue Ribbon Catering, and they were incredibly helpful. Not to mention, they were patient and kind as we asked a multitude of questions to gain clarity. Everyone was very patient, especially Melissa, with whom we were in constant contact regarding the event. She made everything so easy to understand. Many of our guests had different food allergies, and they were able to accommodate us as best as they could. Everything was wonderful, and people raved about the food. The team was very professional; they showed up on time and had the food ready to go. Prices were also very reasonable, which we really appreciated since we were planning a wedding on a budget. It was definitely worth it. We had Vanessa as our private caterer, and she was incredibly kind to every single guest. She even helped my mom set up an entire dessert table that my mom had prepared separately. Vanessa didn't have to do that, but she was willing to help. Overall, our experience with Blue Ribbon Catering felt very comforting and family-like. We highly recommend them, and if we have another event up north in Ohio, we will absolutely be contacting them again.

After a long wait, I finally received a response on October 29 apologizing for the delay and confirming my date was available. They asked me to schedule a call through their portal to discuss details, which I did for November 4. Unfortunately, they did not show up for the call. They eventually connected with me later that day, and I sent inspiration photos to help with planning. After that, I heard nothing until January 16, 2026, when Katie messaged me asking if I had seen her proposal. She apologized for the lack of follow-up and said she would resend it if needed. I informed her that I had not received the proposal in my spam or portal, and she promised to resend it the next day. However, by January 17, I still had not received anything. I followed up again on March 1, 2026, hoping for some progress. Despite the ongoing communication issues, I was drawn to their work because of the beautiful photos and event space they showcased on Instagram. I really wanted to use their services. On March 2, I finally received a response from Stephen, who explained Katie was attending a conference but assured me I would get the proposal within a few days, no later than the end of that week. Now, 20 days later, I have received no proposal and no further follow-up. I am left with no choice but to look elsewhere. If I could give zero stars, I would. I cannot comment on their food or event space because I was never able to utilize their services. I want to support local small businesses, but this experience has been incredibly disappointing and frustrating.

I originally stopped in thinking this might be more of a coffee shop so I could grab a snack and coffee while pumping gas--kill two birds with one stone. From the outside--and even inside--it's aesthetically appealing and looks like a great spot. But the experience didn't quite match that first impression. The food itself didn't hit the mark in the taste factor--nothing terrible, just not memorable or worth the price in my opinion. That said, I'm open to trying other menu items because maybe I just didn't order the right thing. Customer service was pretty average--nothing to complain about, but nothing that stood out either. Overall, it didn't hit the mark this time, but I'd consider giving it another shot.

" more cowbell" But they were out of so much on a Sunday at 6 PM First of all, checked my gift card before I came into the store and had a $25 balance. When I get inside, it is packed, and guy working the register can't seem to get it to work so I just decided to pay. I ordered ribs, they're out! I ordered chicken... Out of that too. I ended up getting a sandwich. I would've never ordered Pryor, but I am glad I did. You can tell they were out of a lot of meats, because the baked beans I got were pretty much a bunch of beans, floating and barbecue sauce and not even very many beans at all The mac & cheese was decent, but nothing to write home about. I had to add a decent amount of salt and pepper. But waiting in line for 20 minutes for quick order food just to find out almost all of it was gone is a bit ridiculous It's pretty unorganized and chaotic The condiment station look like it has been ransacked, so I ended up for going any pickles or onions due to fear of some weird foodborne illness The whole experience is just a bit lacking. I can pay less money and go down the street and be waited on and have a cleaner atmosphere.

After reading the website of Extra Virgin Services, they described their use of extra virgin olive oil and items made from scratch. However, when I wanted to order a salad I asked about the homemade dressings. ( Of course with extra virgin olive oil as claimed) . I was told they come from Gordon's food service!!! only tzatziki sauce and chipotle mayo are homemade. Well, perhaps the corned beef hash with hollandaise sauce would be best to order. Very light amount of corned beef. The waitress was pleasant, however, she was wearing shorts which I didn't find professional. Soon 3 more waitresses arrived for duty, all wearing shorts ( one of them too short ) and my waitress proceeded to talk with them to the point that she didn't hear the cook say order up! That order was sitting there at least 2 minutes. I watched two waitresses get food to eat. One chose to eat her bagel and cheese right at the counter in front of the door !! The other got a pancake and took it behind the coffee bar. With the amount of legs & eggs establishments around the Toledo area , I was shocked to see one in P'burg! Yet, with all the unprofessionalism I witnessed at Extra Virgin Lamplighter Cafe, and for starters not even serving the very item the restaurant is named for is deceiving customers. So , if YOU are looking for a helping of non homemade salad dressings - WITHOUT extra virgin olive oil, followed by a side of skin and a splash of unprofessionalism, belly up to a table here.
