We are so lucky to have found Black Eyed Susan catering for our wedding! Cynthia and Brad were…read moreattentive and professional from the very first contact, and they are truly masters of their craft. Planning a wedding in the midst of COVID is incredibly stressful. What stood out about Black Eyed Susan is their willingness to accommodate our needs and their attention to detail. They were never pushy or impatient, and the communication was fantastic throughout the entire process. Their team went above and beyond on our wedding day. I was initially worried about the logistics of preparing food onsite, but the process was seamless and the presentation was absolutely beautiful. A few highlights were the ham and sweet potato biscuits, the balsamic glazed short ribs, and the fried green tomatoes. If you're looking for a caterer, I can't recommend BES enough!!

We requested a full vegan menu with 4 courses and passed appetizers during cocktail hour for 30 people. And wow did they deliver! I am having guests ask me for their recipes and some saying they would consider going vegan if all their meals tasted like this. Our main goal was to serve vegan food to meat eaters and have them not miss the meat. My husband and I could not be more pleased with the way the food turned out. It was a complete success. The service is unmatched. Judy took care of everything and helped with the details that I never would've thought of. I've never planned a wedding before, so it was SO helpful to have her ask more questions ahead of time in order to make sure everything went smoothly. I loved her communication, cheerfulness, and genuine love for what she does. Their serving staff was friendly, helpful, and had a sense of urgency when they were asked for anything. They were engaged in what they were doing and they seemed happy to be serving us. There isn't a thing I would change about the way Chef Michael's Catering handled our wedding reception. They truly contributed a large part to the happiest night of our lives and I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to work with them.

Per my daughter, the quiche was better than any she had in France. Kim was easy to work with; saw our vision and was eager to offer things not on her menu via her web page. She even sent plenty of food home with us from the tasting so my family could see what we had chosen. My dad couldn't get out of the sausage gravy and surprisingly he loved the quiche. Please give them a try. You won't be disappointed

We went down the stairs (it is in a basement) and there were maybe 8-10 people at the bar and a lady behind the bar. We sat down at a table and it became obvious were were being ignored.

We got the hint and went back up the stairs to civilization, walked across the street to Father's Pizza and had a great meal. If you are from out of town don't waste your time.

Everyone seemed to enjoy the food that was served and had a lot leftover to enjoy the rest of the week. Definitely recommend a tasting if you are able to, so you have a better idea on what to serve. I think it helped us out a bit and you get to know the people that are in charge the day of. Very helpful and answered all of my questions and quick to respond. Such a great experience and glad we chose them to be a part of our wedding day.

Would've been better if the food had arrived warmer. I know some people like to eat their food at…read moreroom temp, but just not my preference. In my experience, if eggs "over easy" are cooked at too high a temp the whites become leathery. I know some people like that leathery white thing, but just not my preference. And no, the eggs being room temp didn't offset being cooked in too hot oil. The biscuit was doughy (maybe just undercooked) but I was able to eat around the edges of it and the edges were actually tasty. Sure would've liked to have had a whole biscuit tho! I know some people like to eat their biscuits at room temp, but just not my preference. I prefer them hot, I think they taste better. A hot biscuit also helps to melt the butter and at the risk of sounding like a prima donna the cold little bricks of butter I tried and failed to spread on it became a bit of a turnoff. The home fries seemed undercooked but I was able to eat a few. Nothing really special about them, just seemed like a potato chopped up and pushed around in grease. I did like the jam/jelly selection, nicely done. Some may wonder why I didn't complain or send this back. I had an appointment down the road and wouldn't have made that considering the initial order took 12 minutes from payment to plate landing on the table, so a re-do would've been??? no idea how long. Sometimes it's better to just tough it out. It wasn't busy, there was no line to order, about 6-8 patrons total in the restaurant. I was surprised at the wait, but part of that was my order getting crossed with someone else. The other guy who first got my plate shouted over to me that he didn't sneeze on my food, so that was nice.
