We really…read moreappreciated everything the whole staff did to help keep things running smoothly at every step, from early planning advice to helping us pack up after the event. Forklift created a 100% vegan menu for us, and the food was DELICIOUS and so BEAUTIFUL! We were really blown away, and got many compliments from guests. We felt like it really demonstrated that you can have a 100% plant-based menu at an event and have it be crowd-pleasing. Thank you for everything, Forklift! We'd love to work with you again.

My team contracted Forklift Catering for a high-profile Harvard event early this year. Forklift's…read moreprofessional sales and event management team were incredible partners in the development and execution of a spectacular event every step of the way. They were always available to address any question or concern and were so adaptable to every plan change (down to just days before the event). They even functioned as our florist and arranged breathtaking floral displays to enhance the ambience. The catering staff and chef produced and provided great food that were the highlight of the event; I heard from everyone how much they enjoyed it (even had some on-call colleagues who gladly answered our calls because they knew they were going to be fed great food during their shift). Forklift is a top recommendation for any high-caliber catered event you might need.

The dinner catering for a salon. It was very generous and of good quality…read more Tuscan Vegetable Platter: It included various fillings such as red and green bell peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, and mushrooms, but my favorite was the tomato confit--intensely tangy, refreshing and very appetizing. The mozzarella cheese balls were rich and creamy, slightly chewy, and I couldn't stop eating them. However, the hummus was excessively salty. Charcuterie Platter: The salami and capicola were rich in fat but incredibly salty. The pepper ham was tender and had a strong smoky flavor with a slightly spicy aftertaste. I personally preferred the latter. Hot Brie Rasp Almond Fillo: This was my first time trying it. Because it had been out for too long, the crust was a bit dry and hard, but the filling still had a rich, sweet berry flavor. Hot Spring Roll Vegetable with Sauce: A colleague who likes spring rolls said it was pretty good, but it looked too dry and hard, so I didn't try it.

I've been to several catered events from here, and almost always the food is fantastic. Good vegan…read moreoptions and well labelled. Yesterday I attended an event with boxed lunches. There was one vegan/gluten free option, which was a veggie hummus wrap. The wrap was decent and came with a small vegan/gf dessert too, however inside the box they also included a packet of mayonnaise which was not vegan. Not sure if it was a mistake or intentional, but either way I don't think it should have been in there.

They set us up beautifully, gave us great guidance on the furniture choices and how to best maximize limited space, and worked out the best way to set up/serve the food with minimal use of our kitchen space. I would absolutely recommend them, and we would absolutely use them again. WONDERFUL experience.

Falafel Wrap: First time trying falafel wraps. Falafels are supposedly fried hummus balls, but these didn't look fried or like balls; they were probably just lightly pan-fried and a bit clumpy. The hummus was smooth and creamy, with a noticeable hummus flavor. As a vegetarian option, despite the refreshing carrots, lettuce, and cucumber, it was a bit dry without any sauce.

This place is a loosing crap shoot every time I go…read more I bought 2 platters Tuesday evening from Poncho. 1 brisket, 1 St. Louis ribs. Brisket was fatty and chewy... but eatable. Ribs were like old and dry and no meat... and just horrible. Uneatable. I should have taken pictures... Sides on both were mash and green beans. Mash was fine... difficult to mess those up. But beans were weirdly dried up... several as hard as a stick. Center cut corn bread was good. I've found its disappointing 90% of the time. Sad, because its close and I love BBQ.

Do not hesitate to call this caterer! They are delightful and my guests were impressed as well. Thank you Mike and Joan so very much! Bernadette Antonellis Sanders

Joan called me back right away as she had a cancellation on the date we wanted. That was pure luck and the rest is history. Joan, her family and staff at Franklin Caterers were awesome to deal with. She made great suggestions for renting the tent and tables, took care of all the menu details as well as linens, and provided the perfect advice for setting up the bar and provided a bartender. Everyone was superbly professional, on-time, very communicative and we were able to enjoy the party with our guests which was our goal. We look forward to working with them again in the future.

I worked with Logan, who was the most patient person on the planet as I changed the menu 3 times! Each time he was helpful and quickly sent out a new invoice. He worked within my budget and made great suggestions for food to fit our brunch theme. On the day of the event, the food arrive promptly and was setup very quickly. The delivery man (who's name unfortunately slips me) was super friends and helpful. The food itself was hot and delicious. There was no left overs, the guest loved it and many asked where we got it from. Clean up was easy as everything is disposable. Would definitely use them again for my next event and I recommend you do as well!

I am a pescatarian and was worried that the only thing available for me would be pasta and (hopefully) wine. What a surprise I had in store! There were plenty of veggie items that were as filling as any meat dish...without being carb heavy. I also want to mention that the chef and assistant were top marks! They were very knowledgeable about their offerings and additional services and their business in general. They also knew equally as much about their food ingredients; nutritional value, etc. That really impressed me and made me look forward to our upcoming Cinco De Maya event even more!
