Summer ain't summer without BBQ…read more Chef Derrick is an award winning BBQ pit master that knows how to control the heat of the grill to produce succinctly barbecued proteins that have you asking for a second plate. I ordered the burnt ends, collard greens and the unadvertised candied yams. And of course I had to take the banana pudding (that was made from scratch) to go. For the non meat eaters, you can order fried fish as the substitute for your plate. So the next time that your heading south on Route 1 in Northern Virginia, make a pit stop at Dyvine BBQ.

Oliver and the Eat & Smile team did an amazing job helping us think through our wedding day! On top of this, their food was out of this world. You could taste the care that was put into it, and it really felt homemade. From the appetizers at the cocktail hour, to the dinner plates themselves, I was extremely impressed by how delicious the food was. From the care they put in before the wedding, to the wedding itself, I could not have been happier with the Eat & Smile team and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a great caterer.

Oliver was super responsive to our preferences and suggestions and crafted a menu that really matched who we are as people.

Everything was super fresh, locally sourced, and perfectly prepared. All of the staff members were also incredibly kind and professional, from the setup to the dinner service to the cleanup. I would absolutely recommend Eat & Smile to anyone.

Lavender Delight is light, flavorful and yummy! The coconut on top is a nice addition. Everyone who tasted the cupcakes loved them and several asked if she'd make some for future events. :-) Chef J also made my son's birthday cake. I wanted sugar-free, gluten-free for my son as he is on a special diet. My son, husband and I along with party guests loved the cake! It was a Toy Story chocolate cake with raspberry filling. Texture was smooth, icing was certainly like nothing I'd ever tasted and the filling was lightly sweet. The combination of flavors and non-sugar sweetners created a tasty, healthy balance, which to be honest, was slightly addictive. LOL! It was a joy to see my son enjoy the last of his cake the next day!

Review Classic Catering Wedding Services May 24, 2026…read moreBottom Line Up Front: This caterer did not provide all services specified in the contract, was unresponsive when problems arose, and provided ok-not-great food. They employ hard-working staff with minimal English so communication was an issue. We would not recommend them. Background and Contract This was an upscale wedding held at a bucolic rural residence in Waterford VA on Memorial Day Weekend 2026. There were 160 guests. Customer has hosted three previous weddings, including one only eight months prior, and has experienced numerous upscale weddings. The setup was on open property, on grassy farmland. The wedding celebration included a pre-ceremony activity (no/minimal food/drink with a few chairs), a wedding ceremony (chairs in rows under a tent), a post-ceremony cocktail reception (servers offering passed drinks, passed hors d'oeuvres outdoors, open bar, table with light refreshments/dips), dinner (servers, tables/chairs under a tent plus buffet serving table with steam serving equipment), dancing/dessert (dessert bar with servers), after dinner campfire (arranged by the venue) with "s'mores" (marshmallows/chocolate bars/graham crackers) (to be set up by servers). Classic Catering was selected as the catering service because they had experience at the venue, and because online reviews seemed favorable. The written contract included: 1. Servers and bartenders, event supervisor 2. Food including hors d'oeuvres, light refreshments, dinner, dessert 3. Setup of all chairs and tables for dinner, chairs for ceremony, plus bar and cocktail area, dessert area, s'mores station 4. Cleanup/takedown of food, trash, chairs, tables. The contract also included some special touches: 5. Appetizers served to the bride and groom so they would have them immediately after the ceremony (during a special seclusion time) 6. Extra plates during dinner for people who want a second helping of food 7. Passed cocktails and hors d'oeuvres after the ceremony. Servers were instructed to approach guests and circulate so that all guests desiring food/drink could be served without waiting in a line for food/bar/drink. Basic Agreements and Promises by Caterer 1. Customer hired a wedding planner. They provided a timeline and setup specifications to Caterer. Communications to caterer were crystal clear. 2. Customer/coordinator held a walk-through specifically for the caterer a few weeks before the wedding. Caterer did not attend (claiming an emergency), and only called to cancel one hour before the appointment time. 3. Customer/coordinator sent a detailed timetable for the event. There was no question what was supposed to happen when. Dessert was set up at 8:15; the timetable clearly specified 9:00PM 4. It is challenging to provide a hot meal for 160 people eating under a tent in a farm field. This requires food selection and preparation to remain fresh, hot, and appetizing on steam trays, with food being kept hot for a long time. All of this was known and discussed in advance, and caterer was expected to plan accordingly. 5. Customer/wedding coordinator sent several texts, emails, and voice mails providing instructions, including special updates the day before and day of because of rain the day before, but no rain the day of the wedding. As can be seen below, these instructions were either not received, not passed along, or disregarded. For example, the wedding coordinator texted Sandy (sales representative from Classic Catering) at 10AM to say we were going back to the original set up for the cocktail hour and dessert. The onsite catering staff never got that message, had no clue, and this caused delay and rework. 6. Caterer promised to have supervisors on site to instruct staff. On wedding day, the supervisor demonstrated lack of experience and inadequate English. Communication, proactive management, and responsiveness were lacking. Experience on Wedding Day 1. In the days before the ceremony and that day, there was rain in the area. It was evident that the ground would be wet and muddy. Catering staff used a truck that could not drive across the fields, and so they had to unload far from the wedding area. This caused delays and tired workers before the wedding activities even started. 2. Caterer provided inexperienced staff who did not speak English. Basic hospitality skills were lacking. 3. Catering staff contracted to set up chairs and tables for the ceremony and the dinner. This is a major effort that requires many hands, and only the caterer has this number of personnel. Catering staff seemed unaware that they were responsible. The staff had no setup instructions, though these had been provided to the caterer. The staff did not speak English so they were hesitant and unresponsive. The wedding coordinator and her helper wound up moving tables and chairs and performing much/most of the setup, along with the bartender (one of the few catering staff who spoke English). The bartend

The bartender didn't know most of the basic cocktails, including our signature drinks.
