To date , June 10 I have not heard back either with a phone call or email. This is the absolutely the worst experience I have ever had with any catering business. How awful and unprofessional!!!!

Wedding attendees are still raving about the food. The most frequent comments are that "it was absolutely the best wedding food" they have ever had, as well as, "it came hot". The service staff was polite and efficient. The day got away from us, so they adjusted to meet our needs. I never remember what I ate at most weddings. These guests will remember for years. Also, we had several guests with severe allergies and some with gluten issues. All of our needs were met and never questioned. Their menu is designed for GF/DF. But we also needed several plated dinners due to our more extremely allergic guests. We felt that our concerns were heard and taken seriously. Thank you!!! We also used the bar tending staff. They were excellent as well. We had three signature drinks and beer, wine and champagne. There was minimal waiting for drinks, even during the cocktail hour. I highly recommend this company for any event.

Communication was easy, with quick responses and flexibility in accommodating our special requests. They made everything feel effortless on our end, handling every detail with minimal direction and total professionalism. The dinner service was fantastic, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything went exactly as we hoped, following our timeline perfectly. A big thank you to the Upstairs Downstairs team for helping to make our day extra special. We look forward to recommending them to future couples getting married in the Madison area.

What an exciting new food experience, Cambodian fusion. They started out at first as a catering…read morebusiness but the demand got so popular that they now participate in Badger Rock Market events so they can sell lunch from 12-4p every other Sundays, giving us an opportunity to get some of their amazing dishes without having to cater. Their Bahn Ni Ni is their signature dish, a fusion of Cambodian bahn mi sandwich ingredients with honey roasted ham, smoked turkey and salami pressed into a panini. The beef egg rolls, coconut jalapeños crab Rangoon, curry chicken and vegan sushi creations got me craving for them weekly. This last week I got to experience their new fusion, Cambosadilla - a Cambodian chicken Quesadilla. What fusion will be next? I'm waiting to find out/taste more.

Catered an all-ages picnic for 56 but I ordered for 50 heads because a dozen were young kids…read more Ordered brisket, chicken, BBQ sauce, beans, slaw, and mac & cheese. There was plenty left over. The food was delivered 21 minutes away, arriving exactly at the promised time, 100% complete, with some trays still too hot to touch. I included bread & supplies with the order, and the delivery included plenty of serving spoons & tongs, utensils, plates, & napkins. Brisket and sauce were fantastic. The chicken needs work--dry and low flavor. The hamburger buns were very bready and big, too big for many. The sides were fun and interesting new flavors. The slaw was tasty-tangy but very white--challenging those who like their vegetables green. Sorry folks. The beans were super popular. I would get them again, all of those sides. But the chicken...you might go in and taste-test it first. On the front end, it was so easy to arrange for this catering through the website and email. The communication was prompt and accurate. Changes, inquiries, and payment were handled seamlessly. I arranged for this food from long distance, and Beef&Butter really came through. It's a little more expensive than some other Madison options but in the end I was really happy to support this business and the people running it. I wish them great success in the future.

Nice place. Ambience is typical BBQ joint vibe and was clean…read more Had the brisket, jalapeno cheddar sausage, coleslaw and baked beans. The sausage is a rock star - it was fantastic. Sides were pretty good too. However, I have to say the brisket was a bit of a disappointment - it was way overcooked, like it had been smoked at too high of a temperature. It was edible but really dry. Just overcooked or held too long. Had to douse it in sauce to eat it which is a total shame. Would have been a 5 star rating if not for the brisket. I'd come back again, maybe when they were busier.

Primal 'Cue BBQ in Sun Prairie is the real deal…read more I stopped in today and ordered the daily special: a double smoked ham sandwich with mac and cheese on top. I don't throw this around lightly, but that was one of the most delicious sandwiches I have eaten in my life. The smoke was deep, the ham was tender, and the mac and cheese on top was a legitimately inspired move. Absolutely killer combination. Having spent 25 years in the military, I lived all over the country and had some genuinely exceptional barbecue along the way. Places that locals swear by. Regional legends. All of it. Primal 'Cue still stands out as one of my all-time favorite barbecue spots. That says everything. Everything this place puts out is on point. If you are in Sun Prairie or anywhere near it and you have not been to Primal 'Cue, you are missing out. Stop what you are doing and go! NOW!

I definitely recommend coming to try this place if you're near by.

I finally found a number to call . the person answering the call said they would be about 15 min late. they came an hour late. our guests were there and everything was a mess. we could not decorate the tables as Gaylord's was suppling the linens. our guests were helping to set tables, arrange food, etc. the food was dropped off by one person!! he had to rush , bring in food, practically threw it on the table. brought the wrong color of linens and then he rushed off. do not use this company!! they have serious staffing issues and poor communication!! the food was alright . we ordered hamburger sliders but the meat was in odd lumps, not like a burger should look. avoid , avoid!

I was in Madison with a co-worker and he knew I loved to dine out, so he suggested this restaurant…read morefor lunch. The menu was large and there were a lot of great looking items, but I decided I wanted to try the truffle fries. Therefore, my entree had to be a burger. That's just how I roll. I built my own burger with mushrooms and bacon. The burger patty was cooked perfectly, juicy and delicious. The burger to bun ratio was a perfect balance. The true star was the truffle fries. I've had truffle fries before, but none as good as these. The potatoes were fresh cut and topped generously with the truffle oil. Then they were served in an individual sized deep-fryer basket for a cool presentation. It looked like a franchise chain, but I don't think it is, so I like it even more! I hope to make it back to Cranberry Creek soon when I get back to Madison and try more of the menu. Todd S. may have been looking at the Cranberry Creek in Stevens Point, which is closed. The Madison location is still open. I called them just now to make sure.

Stoddard's is the best hands down!! I got married at The Fields Reserve, and initially reach out to…read moremultiple caterers to get an idea. It was clear from there Stoddards was the clear choice! Food was fantastic, all night guest were coming up to me telling me they LOVED the food and where they could get more. Please we're running for seconds and thirds! Staff was amazing, so professional yet like friends. They were easy to work with and transparent about the process and pricing which I soon found out, proved difficult from other companies. Price was beyond fair and reasonable! For the quality and quantity the price could've easily been double. They worked with me to make sure I felt comfortable with the pricing the whole time and never felt pushy. Safe to say I recommend them to everyone and anyone and will use them in the future! They made my big day perfect.

Since this is my first review, I'm feeling the pressure to make it as thorough and honest as…read morepossible. So here goes... When planning my wedding, I was looking for a caterer who shared my food values. I wanted someone who would present my guests with some delicious local food; someone who would be low-key and easy to work with. UFC seemed to be just what I was looking for. But then, I should have known it wouldn't be so easy. First, I had to email approximately 15 times before I was able to set up a meeting with them. Since I live in San Francisco, I had a window of about a week to meet with them. Needless to say, they weren't very interested in accommodating me. Then, the meeting. After the general unhelpfulness of our scheduling exchanges, my expectations were low, but wow! Now, I generally expect that when I meet with a caterer, I'll get to taste some of their food. Not so. I (sort of) understood, since they don't have a kitchen facility, per se. I reminded myself to keep an open mind. Most caterers will lead you through the initial meeting, getting a sense of what you're looking for, your budget, your style. Not this guy. What we got was... well, not much besides a lot of chef peacockery. Now, being from San Francisco, I'm used to food snobs. I am fluent in their language - they are my people. But UFC made me feel like Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman - the scene when she is hysterically pulling wads of cash out of her purse, begging to be waited on in Beverly Hills. Surprise, surprise, they never called me back - another giant red flag - and I didn't pursue them either. I did send an email letting them know how disappointed I was, which (of course) was never replied to. I would caution anyone against working with these folks. Even though their mission and food seem to be top notch, their diva behavior is just too much. I only wish I could give zero stars.
