We used this company for our wedding and Jennine has been super helpful and available from the beginning!! The food was absolutely delicious, warm and there was enough for people to get second servings. On Jennine's suggestions, we hired 2 waitstaff and best decision as we didn't have to worry about anything, they came and installed everything very quickly, and cleaned up very well after. I would recommend A Plus Catering for any event and I would use them again if I ever need a caterer. read more

For the last several years, A Plus Catering has provided manpower for my usually-annual holiday gathering. The team members they've sent are capable, well-organized, and a delight to work with. They have a stable team, which has allowed me to bring back Mr Freddie M year after year. By taking over the "ala minute" cooking (apologies if I got that spelling wrong) and all the clean-up, I've been able to enjoy my party. Hiring A Plus is the best holiday gift I give to myself. I've confidently recommended them to my friends. read more

I am sorry to leave a negative review, but I really have to after the experience I had with A Plus Catering last night at my company's holiday party. After scouring through reviews and prices, A Plus Catering seemed like a great choice. However, what I experienced was hectic, disorganized, lacking in communication and mediocre food. Jennine is really kind, as is the rest of her staff, but that is where the positive experience ends. It was difficult to get a hold of Jennine, particularly in the two weeks leading up to the event. I called time and again just to be sure she would actually show up and only got a call when she said she didn't get my final payment (which she found out she had actually had the whole time). Let's talk about the food... I had ordered appetizers and passed hors d'oeuvres. Since there would be a full bar, I wanted to be sure the appetizers were heavy and everyone would be well fed. I asked Jennine several times if she thought it would be enough food, to which she replied yes each time. I ended up ordering for more people than were in attendance just in case. Last night (the night of event) they arrived late, still ensuring there would be enough time to set up, but were certainly delayed. They also took a very long time to refill their platters once one ran out throughout the course of the party. The passed hors d'oeuvres were Cranberry Chili Meatballs, Chicken Skewers with Peanut Sauce, & Spinach Artichoke Dip with Sliced Bread. There were maybe 6 on each platter, they were tiny (yes, they should be near bite sized, but the chicken skewers had two tiny pieces of chicken on each) and after an hour they were passing around cold food. The taste was fine, but nothing particularly impressive. The appetizer stations were a Cheese "Platter" and a Hummus "Platter." I put platter in quotations because these were also very small and the equivalent to something I could have purchased at a grocery store. Ultimately, there was not nearly enough food and I ended up having to order 10 pizzas to ensure people weren't starving. I definitely learned my own lesson and should have ordered more food (particularly with the amount of alcohol being consumed) like a full dinner buffet. But there were so many issues on the catering side that could have been much better. A colleague of mine this morning actually exclaimed, "there was a caterer there?!" I will not hire A Plus Catering again. read more

I am a wedding coordinator who recently worked with A Plus Catering on a wedding I did. The staff I worked with was great. There was a lot of set up involved and they worked quickly and took my direction with no problems. The bride and groom were thrilled with how everything turned out. I would definitely work with A Plus Catering again in the future. read more

I hired A Plus Catering for wait staff service this past Saturday. It was my private gumbo party for my friends to say goodbye as a going away party. There were about 50 invited guest. Although I wanted to cook for my friends one last time, I did not want to be tied up with managing my food area, and not enjoying my guest. Jennine and her crew at A Plus Catering were AWESOME! They arrived on time, and immediately jumped into action, helping me set up for my party. They were extremely professional! Once the party was in full force, I could relax, enjoy and mingle with my guest, and not worry about the the food area, because they took care of keeping every item filled up, heated and available for guest to keep filling their plates to enjoy. When the party was ending, the A Plus crew helped to clean and clear everything away, making for a smooth end to a beautiful event. Truly 5-star service. Such a pleasure! read more

I had the pleasure of working with A Plus Catering for my wedding. Weddings can be crazy, nerve-wrecking, uber expensive, and a headache. HOWEVER, Janine and A Plus Catering made my event painless, affordable, and added to its elegance! The food was amazing! Their menu offers a variety, so it can be hard to choose what you'd like to have served but I chose a soul food menu. And in my opinion, if you can accomplish Southern soul food for criticizing Grandmothers (who can cook!) and picky kids and 100 other people, you get my vote every time! Everyone loved the food. I still hear about it. (My wedding was 2 years ago). A Plus Catering was timely and the servers were professional and made my guests smile. I rented a hall and the kitchen had to be left in the same manner it was when we came. A Plus Catering cleaned up after themselves and I received my deposit in full. I would recommend this company and I look forward to having another event so I can have those meatballs again! Yummy read more

I stand by the accuracy of every word of my prior negative review of APlus Carering and am aghast at the blatant untruths of Janeen's response. Apparently, it takes a public review for any response to a complaint...if the company felt "in the right " why didn't they accept and reply to registered mail..or, inquiries by the Better Business Bureau? Interesting that APlus Catering makes the same exact sandwiches as Safeway and delivers them in Safeway boxes ..same for their desserts. Just another warning to stay away from APlus Catering. read more

A Plus Catering did a buffet for a reception I put on for my daughter and her husband. The food was great. They were flexible in the menu I wanted and were very professional servers. Thx for a great party. I will recommend them to my friends. read more

A Plus Catering did my wedding reception food yesterday. And they were perfect. Arrived on time, food was awesome. The servers were the best!! I highly recommend a Plus Catering!! read more

Sorry to say I cannot offer any stars at this time. Confirmed a date and waitstaff services needed for a party, paid the invoice and no one showed up at my event. Received a text message almost two hours after the event ended as follows: Sun, May 5, 6:51 PM (21 hours ago) Oh My Goodness. It is totally my fault. I had spoken when we talked to TreVhon and Dalaysha about your event and they agreed to do it but I forgot to remind the one I was going to have come out. We been soo busy and I didn't put this invoice in our roster. Please forgive me. This has never happened. I feel terrible. If you need service again, It will be on us and tomorrow I will refund all of your money. Again. I feel awful. read more

We recently hired A plus Catering to cater our thanksgiving dinner. They did a fantastic job. Jennine arrived on time as she stated over the phone. She knows what she is doing when she gets here. She is nice and polite, easy to communicate with. She called me the days before the event and confirm all the details for the event. The food came out to be great. The turkey is moist and tender, paired with the cranberry sauce which is excellent. The gravy with mashed potato is great and tasty. Everyone in the event are happy with the food being served. Thank you for doing such a great job and helping us to cater the food for our event. Definitely highly recommend. read more

My Experience with A Plus started pretty good but spiraled out of control a week before the wedding. I contacted Jasmine to confirm a couple of details and immediately was sent an email asking to call her. When I did I was in for a bit of a shock, I wasn't on her calendar at all and had already paid in FULL! I had been dealing with her via text and email so I immediately sent her all of the documentation I had an she was going to draft my "contract" I use this term loosely. She wanted me to add servers and I declined, I paid in full for what I had wanted. The party was small with only 75 portions of food ordered and a simple menu, chicken, salmon, vegetable, potato, salad, rolls and the extra $100 to have her cut the cake. She took a full to days to get my invoice, not really a contract sent to me. On the day of set up for vendors was from 4 pm to 530pm. I immediately called her once I was told the food wasn't there and she proceeded to snap at me because I made it very clear that I was not happy about this. She did not shown up until after 6 and the proceeded to text me at 628 to tell me the food was set up and it was before the 630 scheduled dinner time. When my husband and I had went up to get our plates she informed me that she didn't like that I had been short with her. I then reminded her I am the customer and had paid her, and quite frankly the fact she hadn't put me in her calendar was ridiculous. I was then threatened with a defamation suit if I were to put any reviews for her. The food was terrible, the chicken was dry and had little color, the salmon was bland and was not wild salmon, the potatoes and vegetables had little seasoning, and everything was cold, and there wasn't near the 75 portions of everything. Jasmine proceeded to stop guests from taking food several times in a abrupt and rude manner. Ultimately she had to be told to pack her equipment and leave event before everyone had eaten because of her attitude. I was so embarrassed by the quality, quantity and service, especially Jasmine getting in an argument with me in front of my friends and family. For quite a few years I was a chef at a banquet facility and I can tell you that I never did that to any of my guests. All I can say is that if you are paying $19 a person for food, I hope you choose another company because they will attempt to ruin your event. Sub-par food and terrible service is all i can say. read more

Ms Jennine was incredible!! She catered our Annual Navy Khaki Ball. From the first phone call to the end she was extremely kind and worked with me to figure out a menu that will fit our budget. Such a wonderful lady! We enjoyed the food so much, the mac n cheese was incredible, the fried chicken, oh my goodness everything was indeed A Plus!! Thank you for your professionalism, willing to work out different menus to fit our budget, and of course the incredible , amazing southern food!! We are still talking about it!! Thank you!! read more

contrary to all of the negative reviews below, Jennine was great to work with! She was very accommodating for all of our needs and was easy to get a hold of and communicate with. She was able to work within our budget, provide all of the equipment and utensils we needed and offered the type of food we wanted. Our company was having our annual summer party for our employees and families. We were looking for a company to come out to the park that we reserved and offer a afternoon southern BBQ. Jennine's team arrived on time, were fully prepared and very nice! The food was great! We had BBQ, chicken, Tri-tip, Hot Dogs, Corn, Beans, Veggie Skewers, and Potato salad. Everything was prepared fresh and presentation was great. There was so much food that everyone was able to take some home with them! Our company will definitely keep A Plus Catering in mind for our next event! Thank you Jennine and Team! read more

Jennine was very responsive and wonderful to work with. We hired A plus catering for our wedding, and everything was tasty and organized. Our only hiccup was that we were running low on one of the food items. But everything worked itself out. read more

A Plus Catering was a delight to work with. We are a food technology company and it was really important that we showcase our technology while serving the food in a professional and friendly environment. They were very accommodating even on a short notice. We will for sure hire them again! read more

My wife and I hired A Plus Catering, comparing with another caterer . We looked at both menus and A plus catering looked delicious. Jennine was able to accommodate us for a small party. Everyone at the part said the food was delicious. Jennine was friendly and professional. Will use A Plus Catering again. read more

Super happy with A Plus! On time, professional, excellent food, extremely nice people and did a superb job. They are very efficient and very clean. The kitchen was cleaner when they left than when they got here. I would highly recommend them and plan to use them for our Christmas party every year. read more

I have to say a year ago we asked these wonderful people to do a catering for us. The food and drinks were wonderful and very delicious food. They set everything up for us before any of our guest showed up and all the food was hot and drinks were very cold. I did also ask for cutting the cake but we opted out on that and we decided to do it ourselves. Everything was on a timely manner and very professional. We really enjoyed everything they did for us. I would highly recommend them to anyone who needs a catering done. Thank you so much for making our evening wonderful. Mr. and Mrs. Jepsen read more

Great food, nice and wonderful staff, and nice variety of food. We used them for 4 events in a month.

Used this caterer for a company picnic and reviews from our attendees are dismal. We asked them to cook on site but they arrived with everything prepared in foil containers. The serving portions were extremely small and our employees were told they could only have one of the options we selected. Chicken was undercooked, some raw in the middle and appeared to be baked with BBQ sauce dumped over it. The beans came out of a can. The hamburgers were Costco's finest and over peppered. Much of the food was cold or lukewarm. The potato salad was obviously from a tub and held little flavor. We paid $175 for 100 soft drinks and got store brand for the most part -- did not go over well! Our employees left hungry and dissatisfied which was not our goal. Created a downer for the whole event. We will not be using this caterer again and would not recommend them to any other organization. UPDATE: Following my original post I was contacted by the caterer initially concerned that we were displeased and later, when I was asked to edit my review and refused, I was sent a letter threatening legal action if I didn't change my review. I refused as I am legally entitled to my opinion, disagreed with her portrayal that all of the communication issues were due to an interim employee (not true, I spoke to her myself as well), and everything I stated is accurate from my perspective and that of our employees who we surveyed and who were clearly very dissatisfied with the food. My only final word of advise is Buyer Beware. read more

A Plus Catering staff and food was wonderful. I helped plan my sisters wedding earlier this year and I had a good experience. Jenine was very accommodating and somewhat acted as my planner because she gave us a lot of tips. We were on a budget. Some services would have tried to squeeze all the money they can but she told me ways that saved me a lot of money. Good Job and Great Food. The Tri-Tip was to die for. It was well seasoned and very tender. The roasted potatoes was the best. I will use them in the future if we ever need a catering service again. read more

A Plus Catering did a wonderful job for our family event last week. They arrived on time, the food was hot, tasty, and plentiful. The staff was professional and prompt to handle any unexpected events. Thank you so much for making this special time for our family run so smoothly. read more

Working with any caterer can be an overwhelming process, especially when time allocation and budget is tight; and you want everything done right. With "A Plus Catering" I would say to trust the process. Like the line from the movie Shakespeare In Love, "It Will All Work Out In The End" and you and your guest will be extremely happy at the end of the process. Jennine and the staff at "A Plus Catering" are professionals and they will take good care of you and your guest. Her team was extremely courteous and demonstrated a high level of flexibility to meet the needs of my guest. Unlike big party chains, and hotel venues; making the customer happy is Jennine's top priority. So it goes without saying that the food was very good, the serving team was excellent, and if your event calls for a bartender; she got you! And, if there is a problem, call her; she got you! Open communication worked for me. "Peace of Mind" is what you get with "A Plus Catering". Peace of mind that she is there for you and that this is not just a business, but personal to her. I hope this review was helpful for you. read more

Helped cater our business event, food was great, staff was on time and polite. Bartenders served some great drinks and handled our crowd well. Looking forward to using this Catering company again in the future. read more

Do not hire A Plus Catering for your event. The owner is unprofessional, disorganized, and not pleasant to work with. They were the only part of my wedding that didn't go as planned. read more

Regarding the review by Michelle N. on 7/20/2017. I was the person responsible for hiring A-Plus Catering for our event (the 'aunt'). Although we were not satisfied with our experience with them, after explaining what happened we are being refunded a portion of our money. read more

I used A Plus for my wedding ceremony. Jennine was amazing and the food was delicious! They were professional and made my event a success!

My wife and I used this company for our wedding and were extremely satisfied with their work. Their waitstaff was Constantly helpful and just a delight the whole night through, the food was incredible and well managed, etc etc. The only complaint I have was with their very difficult to work with website; a flaw that was more than made up for by their friendly and responsive phone and in person interactions. Absolutely the best catering and food I've seen in their price range read more

Jeanine is responsive, friendly, professional and generous. I ended up going with another caterer who is more familiar with my selected venue but highly recommend Jeanine and am hoping to work with her for future events! read more

A Plus Catering provided food for my corporate event and they were great. Jennine was flexible and accommodating when it came to choosing the menu and always followed up with me right away when I had questions. She showed up right on time, provided absolutely everything I needed, and everyone was really happy with the food. Very seemless service! read more

A Plus Catering did a fantastic job for my New Years Eve/50th Birthday Party. They took care of all rentals and DJ, I didn't have to work with several vendors, a relief as I was traveling and didn't return home until the 30th. Everyone arrived promptly, set up and had the music going before the party began. Great food and service. read more

I used A plus Catering for both Bartending & Catering for my Office's holiday party and If I could them zero stars I would. I had been working with Jennine Grigsby for a couple weeks before our event building a menu and discussing logistics. We had numerous emails back and forth discussing the date of Thursday, December 8th for our event. When it came time to sign the catering contract it was written December 9th, 2016-- I made a huge mistake by not catching that the date was written incorrectly on this contract and signed it before I noticed it was wrong. Of course the night of the event came and it was getting close to 6pm (our start time) with no caterers or bartenders in sight I called Jennine making sure that they would be running on time which was when she told me the contract stated December 9th, not the 8th which was totally my mistake signing a contract with the wrong date. Jennine was nice enough to send 1 of of the 2 bartenders we booked to our event to make sure we weren't completely understaffed. I had to run out to costco and trader joes to try to pick up some last minute pre-made food to make sure people didn't leave the party because there wasn't anything to eat. Jennine showed up at the party half way though it, bringing some desserts from our order which she said she had ready ahead of time. At that point I was playing bartender ( w/ zero cocktail making background) since we were so understaffed with a 200+ person party. In the middle of all of that Jennine hands me a contract to sign that stated we made a mistake with the date of the order, and we don't want the food to be delivered on the date the contract stated. In the middle of trying to fix the disaster that was this party I told her I would not be signing anything and that I was too busy to discuss next steps with her at the moment and that I would call her tomorrow to figure out what to do next. Jennine took that response as us cancelling our food order with no refund. At 10am on Friday December 9th, I called her to let her know if we weren't able to get the order refunded I would like the food to be delivered that evening so we could donate it to our local homeless shelter so the food we purchased wasn't completely wasted. Jennine told me that it was too late to be delivered and that she cancelled the order, wouldn't be refunding and hung up on me. After calling back multiple times and asking for our food be delivered on our contracted date she refused which was obviously a violation of the contract regardless if the date was not the actual date of the party. I told her that if we could get the food delivered no later than Monday December 12th then she wouldn't have to refund the order. Monday the 12th came and went with numerous calls to A plus Catering, either not being answered or hung up on after asking if our food was being delivered. I have never been treated so unprofessionally in my 2+ years working on professional events. I eventually had to get my manager involved who mentioned that our contract was violated after not bring the food on the date we were promised and that she was required to refund the order. Of course thats when Jennine says now they will be able to deliver the food instead of refunding it. We had spent almost 4 thousand dollars on this caterer and bartender that money just went completely down the drain. Yes it was my fault I got the date wrong. But after refusing to bring the food on the proper date, the caterer should have been the one refunding. I am so incredibly disappointed in the absurdly unprofessional service I received from this caterer and I would never want anyone else to use them and get the same experience. I've never had such a nightmare experience with the hundreds of caterers i've worked with before. read more

Thank you A Plus Catering the service was excellent, food was delicious and displayed nicely. We highly recommended them for any event.

A Plus Catering is terrible. The A in A Plus should be a rating of a "D". There was nothing A Plus about them. I hired them for a 2-day meeting to provide breakfast and lunch both days. The caterer was late both days, did not comply to the building's loading and unloading policy. I know this because security was chasing her down. The owner/caterer shows up by herself and our staff had to help set up. The coffee was not brewed, there were no individual water bottles (this was for group of 60 plus), all of the food was not completely prepared. The desserts were store bought (not freshly baked by the caterer or a bakery) and the main courses were not tasty and her overall presentation was horrible. Usually when the caterer is finished setting up you have a beautiful presentation of the food being served. This did not happen at all. I will never use them again or will I recommend them. The picture displayed for their company is MISLEADING! read more
