Basket of rolls: apparently these are quite famous and I can see why. Light and airy and the garlic butter is to die for. I coding even get a picture of the full basket because everyone dig in too quickly BBQ russet potato fries: good cut of potato, good portion size but a little salty. The ranch was good and I loved the Marion berry bbq sauce. Lobster and shrimp stuffed mushroom: Wouldn't get again, but good portion size and great seafood. Street corn dip: too many chips for the amount of dip but it was warm and cheeses and delicious, was missing a little bit of spice. Coconut curry squash soup: BEST thing on the menu, 3 of us ordered more to go. Absolutely delicious. Caprese chicken radiatore: loved this pasta. For having cream and pesto I was surprised at how light this pasta was. Really good and didn't leave me feeling bloated. Loved our waitress, she was wonderful. Very quaint and italianesque. Things to note: One restroom in the back of restaurant. Street metered parking. Great downtown Salem location.

I really had no idea exactly what I wanted, but after our first call and her suggestions I was very excited about the offerings and kept all Dani's excellent suggestions. Pricing was absolutely reasonable. They arrived on the day of the event promptly, set up everything beautifully on the serving space and were nothing but gracious and courteous the whole time. The guests LOVED the food. Especially the marinated chicken thighs and the potato salad. I even received comments from guests the veggie tray was one of the most beautiful they had ever seen. All the other dishes were delicious as well and there was more than enough to send leftovers home with everyone who wanted some. Busy Bee elevated my event into something even more special by providing such amazing food. I never worried once about any part of catering, as they were the easiest to work with all around. I would absolutely use them again and likely will!

Busy Bee Catering swooped in and saved the day with their "Sides-Giving" offerings fit for royalty! Their fluffy mashed potatoes and gravy were divine. Their chicken apple sausage stuffing was a show stopper, as was the relish tray (as big as a trough for my goats), roasted vegetables and Fall harvest salad topped with sinfully delicious candied pecans. I feel like getting married again so Busy Bee Catering can handle the food. Thank you so much! You'll be seeing me and my hungry tummy again SOON!

Everything was presented so perfectly that it almost seemed too gorgeous to eat... almost! Needless to say, our guests couldn't resist, and every last bite disappeared quickly. This isn't the first time Desirae has provided food for my family, and every single experience has been exceptional. Her food is always fresh, flavorful, and made with so much care and attention to detail. You can truly tell she puts her heart into everything she creates. If you're looking for someone who delivers not only amazing food but also stunning presentation and outstanding quality, I highly recommend giving Desirae's business a try. You will not be disappointed! Thank you, Desirae, for helping make our special day even more memorable.

I ordered Door Dash from Grazing Fields Cheese. I ordered the PNW salad and the chopped salad…read more The PNW was way too skimpy for $16.38. There was only mixed greens, blue cheese, and homemade vinaigrette. I felt the portion size was way to skimpy for the cost. But it was clean with quality ingredients and I could taste them. The chopped salad was also delicious. It was full of salami, cheese, olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, and more. Also with a homemade vinaigrette. The salad are delivered dressed which I like , but dressing on the side option may be appreciated by some. I highly recommend.

Food was really very good, and the staff was so awesome! So when we were in Salem over the weekend and we had tossed JT's around a couple of times we were pulling into a local brew pub and BINGO! There was the big blue truck! Got to see and visit with the owners (and mom, Hi MOM!) which was great. They are always so nice and it was really nice to talk to them again. And we did order some snackage. Got some of the the egg rolls, but not your typical egg rolls and some Korean BBQ tacos (I think). I wasn't hungry but ate mine and my wife's share. Good, good, good!

They were incredibly kind and attentive, the servers and bartender were great, and they not only made a special arrangement of appetizers and a beautiful mini charcuterie board for our sweetheart table so we too could enjoy appetizers while we were doing photos but checked on us throughout the night to make sure we got enough and even boxed up all of the extra food into meals for us to enjoy later! They made it as stress free and enjoyable as possible and the food was absolutely delicious!!! We got the goat cheese bruschetta, stuffed mushrooms, and charcuterie board for cocktail hour, chicken Marsala and tri-tip for entrees, and the s'mores bar for dessert.
