My team worked with Forklift on catering a large client appreciation event this spring. 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.

Above and Beyond were WONDERFUL. Emily was our event planner and she was so great - helpful,…read morethoughtful, fantastic at communicating, offering AMAZING guidance throughout, particularly for us, who had never worked with a caterer before. 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.

College tea breaks…read more Grilled Lemon Chicken Sandwich: Surprising. The chicken breast wasn't dry, and the tomatoes were fresh and juicy; but not very lemony. An acceptable white meal. 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.

Let me start by saying we have been going to BR for over 20 years…read more This by far is the worst barbecue we have had, ever. BR is typically either good or just ok. We had stuck with them through much inconsistency. Today was the end for us. My wife ordered a duo and trio both of which came with brisket. A Father's Day treat for me. The brisket was grey, rubbery and inedible. Called the store to notify them of our experience and was told that they would simply give us new brisket. I told them that I did not want the same food and would prefer a credit. They told me that to provide a credit back to the credit card would be difficult and would simply give me a food credit for order. Would have expected one or both platters to be fully refunded. Especially after paying $60 for 2 platters plus 10% tip for pickup. Disappointing!!! We will not be ordering from there again!

Joan made this process so incredibly easy, she was so friendly and has such great attention to details. Mike was actually at the event along with his employees. He was incredible!

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

For my husband's 70th birthday, we wanted to do a tented event in our back yard but we were afraid…read morethat we wouldn't find a caterer since the date we wanted was on Mother's Day weekend and we started looking only 2 months ahead. 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!

From delicious buffet breakfasts for 1,000 to bountiful lunches or intimate cocktail fare - they always get it right and never seem to run out of food. An amazing feat. Particularly love their quiches, French toast, cinnamon rolls, grilled veggies and huge trays of lasagna. The staff is also gracious every time and loves to get into the spirit of a party with us. For a recent Ugly Sweater holiday event, Stacy suggested cookies decorated as ugly sweaters (fantastic!) and her staff all wore ugly sweaters while serving (thank you, Logan, and crew). Made it so fun for everyone. Cannot recommend Sensational enough for an event - large or small. You won't be disappointed!
