    I have had two experience in the past with this catering company. First one was back in 2019, they…read morewere hire by my apartment complex to prepare a Mother's Brunch for residents and their mother's. Second one was for my wedding. I decided to go with them expecting the same experience but this was not the case at the end. My husband, fiancé at the time, and I went to the testing, Jennifer took care of us and we expressed our menu was going to be pork-free and it was reflected in our options, chicken and steak. About a month before the wedding they changed the contact person as Jennifer left the company. This cause a great deal of stress in me due to the fact that when I spoke with Maria she seemed that she did not have a clue if what I was talking about, regarding all the menu and specifics, I had already discuss with Jennifer and changed completely the quote adding a good $800 extra to quote. Come wedding day, first, I had nice matching silverware and the team decided to put the metal silverware next to the silver wear. Here the common sense was not used. This clashed with the decor. I remember mentioning to put the silverware next to the food so if people wanted to use those instead of the ones in the table they had the choice. Secondly, the caesar salad had bacon on it and it was pre-made. Once again, I was very explicit about not wanting pork in the menu. Half of my family ended not been able to eat the salad and I found this so annoying as I paid almost $2,400 for the services. Third, the head server approach me at some point of the wedding to ask me about the services and I told her how I was feeling and told her 'not great'. To this day NOBODY from this company has reached out to me for feedback. Needless to say they won't have my business nor recommendation in the future. Lastly, keep in mind it has been almost a full year of my wedding and I still feel strongly about it all.

    Just wanting to give a major kudos to Affordable Catering for a phenomenal job they did in catering…read moreour rehearsal dinner. They catered our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner 1 week after Hurricane Ian. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Their staff members, Ice (lead server) and Dunia (2nd server) were absolutely awesome! They showed up on time coming to Venice, Fl from Tampa during very heavy "Ian" recovery traffic. Not only did they impress us with arriving with ample time to set up before guests arrived, they were very personable, happy, enjoyable and extremely efficient in serving and clean up. The food by Affordable Catering was absolutely amazing. The 62+ guests we had were thrilled with the food and service. Everything tasted so delicious, in particular, the Maui Chicken was a HUGE success. We received nothing but raves about the food. Thank you "Affordable Catering" for making our first experience an excellent experience. Marie Bentancourt, my sales associate, was also key in making our event a success as well. She worked very hard at satisfying my needs. She was very conscious of my concerns and had perfect suggestions to satisfy my specific needs. Thank you once again Affordable Catering. If anyone is looking for the perfect company to cater their party, you will not be disappointed with this company.

    An Amazing Foodie destination. Stopped in to find they had a pancake themed breakfast! Made from…read morescratch blueberry compote was the perfect compliment to the pancakes. Of course they offered eggs, bacon and sausage as well. The hidden star though is their amazing single serving quiche. Top it off with a cup of Kawa coffee and your morning is set. The food is only surpassed by the great attention and care from the staff. On today's adventure they were sponsoring a "pop up" for Rumbles - a local baker that specializes in rum balls!! Awesome folks with Great food in a cafe that happens to be also be a catering company. All around win. Foodie Ninja Approved.

    We debated for the longest time if we should give 2 or 3 stars overall since we LOVED our wedding,…read morebut unfortunately A Fresh Connection dropped the ball when it came to their execution of our event. From day one we were upfront about what we wanted for our wedding reception. We had a micro, destination wedding with what ended up being less than 20 people total. We made it very clear from the beginning about my onion allergy and about the food we required for our menu. We were told things could be made from scratch without onion. It had also been noted all over our invoice. My allergy was the primary topic of conversation throughout the entirety of our communication with A Fresh Connection. Yet, the day of our reception they asked who exactly had the allergy... Key elements were missing from the salad and a special side was left off my plate. We had to ask someone to get Chef Lisa for us so we could ask why. Nothing had been disclosed to us before our wedding reception. She proceeded to tell us there were trace amounts of onion in the side. I had to ask her to bring it over anyway. I took a chance in eating just a little bit so I could enjoy the menu we had established. I didn't understand how such a mistake could be made when we were so direct about my allergy and told things could be made from scratch. For example, the mini spanakopita appetizer had been made without onion, so why wouldn't the same be applied to the rest of the meal? We found out the onion element applied to one missing ingredient from the salad. The other missing elements had simply been forgotten. Even worse, entrees were served cold, which should have never happened. Our bartender Matt also did not serve the non-alcoholic beverages for our guests who could not have alcohol. At the end of the night, Matt made his way around the room and very abruptly started tossing things in the trash. My husband actually had to say something to him to try and get him to stop. Two important, religious related boxes went missing. Both were important, but one in particular had been customized to house our religious item, so we've been looking for it ever since. Matt also bickered with my husband how none of the chairs had to be folded and put on top of the tables. Yet, that's what the venue coordinator had told my husband during the walk through. We ended up having to do it ourselves because Matt just left without telling us. All of the staff belonging to A Fresh Connection left without a word or even telling us where the leftovers were. Our experience was extremely bittersweet.

    Not sure what's up with Gerard leaving a bad review for a closed brick and mortar location…read more They're still open for catering and Saturday morning market when it's open. Love the bbq here! The best ribs I've ever had. I even got a slab for the 4th of July and all my friends loved them as well. The brick and mortar was never in a bad location not was anyone rude that worked there and it certainly wasn't a dive. The owner worked very hard to remodel the restaurant and made it very nice and a perfect atmosphere for food, music, trivia etc. Unfortunately covid forced the brick and mortar to close but I still stall their bbq. Don't overlook the smoked salmon either! It sells quickly cause it's sooooo good. I love that you have your choice of pita bread and not the basic garlic toast you get everywhere. Trust me, be a stalker too! It's the one time it's socially acceptable!

    Why 4 stars? Because the sides were better than the meat, overall…read more --- --- --- I've had MNM on my radar for a while now, but I just don't get to St. Pete as much as I used to. But now, having a one-year old, it's actually kind of nice to have something to do like drive to St. Pete for a meal because it's something to shake up the normal routine. And if I've learned anything about one-year old's, they do not like the same old, same old. MNM has the vibes of an old school bar that hasn't been renovated in decades. It's dark and smells of cheap beer. It was kind of charming in a way, because it's been so long since we've been to a place like that. My wife and I both ordered a two-meat + two-sides plate so that we could share a bunch of things. I'll rate each of those: Brisket: 3.5 stars. Ribs: 1.5 stars. Tendons all throughout every bite made them almost impossible to eat. Pulled Pork: 3.5 stars. Pulled Chicken: 5-stars. Easily the best meat we ordered, and normally I'm not really a fan of ordering chicken at a BBQ restaurant. Baked Beans: 4.5-stars. Definitely not just your standard baked beans. Potato Salad: 4-stars. Ditto to above. Twice Baked Potato: 5-stars. Possibly the most delicious overall item. My wife certainly thought so. Bacon Mac-n-Cheese: 5-stars. Also, a must-have. And we really liked the option of choosing garlic pita for our bread. That was definitely a unique touch. Overall, we enjoyed our experience. I'm glad to see the culinary scene of St. Pete expand a bit north of downtown.
