"The food, the team, the service! Everything was perfect!! Such a fun way to serve food at our son’s high school graduation party."
June 2026
"Daniel was amazing!! So kind and accommodating. The food was DELICIOUS!! Only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 was that the baked potatoes, which we were all excited for, were not available until more than an hour into the event. It would have been great if they set up earlier to start cooking the potatoes knowing they took so long to prepare. Overall, they were a huge hit and definite asset to our son’s graduation party."
