We used Brancatos for the first time recently for an event around 100 people. The staff was amazing, friendly and professional and the food was AMAZING!! Tyler was great to work with when placing my order as well. I would definitely recommend Brancatos for your event needs and plan to use them again myself!! read more

I wish I could give Brancato's 100 stars! Whoever is looking for a caterer, stop looking this second and call them! They are the definition of perfection. I was planning a luncheon for my daughters upcoming wedding and had hired a new, local business and wanted to help them thrive. Less than 2 weeks before the event they emailed cancelling my event, and I'm so glad they did. I was in a panic and the first name that popped in my head was Brancato's. I knew they were a long established KC caterer. I sent them and email and went to bed and woke up worrying about it. First thing in the morning i got a call from Katie, who assured me everything would be just fine. By noon she had helped me with all the selections, had it all emailed over to me, and it was done. She also touched base with me a few times more, letting me know who would be serving at the event and other information to make sure I was informed and at ease. It was so nice to feel confident and have one less thing to think about. The food is a big thing to not worry about. The day of the event I was surprised how early the Brancato's van pulled up. The event was held in a large house overlooking KC and several guests had stayed there the entire weekend. Domonique and Nancy were so stealthy, coming and going so quietly while they set up, but never in the way, never disturbing anyone. Total professionals. The presentation was flawless. They picked up cups and plates left laying around (which I didn't anticipate them helping with), were lighting fast on restocking the dishes with food, helping guests. They were always smiling and pleasant. Katie even stopped by as well and was amazing and helpful. It all ran like the most amazing well oiled machine. Then to top it all off, the food was fantastic. It was the best catered food ever! Everyone raved about it. Several people actually commented they were the best bacon wrapped dates they have ever had. The mini Beef Wellington are one of the best things I've ever tasted. I want to order a giant platter of those just for myself! I'm seriously thinking of how I can have another event and have that food again. Brancato's not only got there early, they stayed late. They took the remaining food and arranged it nicely on dishes available in the house, still making it look polished. Somehow they found on crock pot on the premises to put the spin dip in, and then let me know there were a few more leftovers if needed in the refrigerator in the garage. Then poof, they were gone, quietly and smiling just like they arrived. I did not have to do one thing but pay attention to my guests. To say I'm impressed is an understatement. I got so much more service and such quality of food then I could have imagined. Also, the cost was not any more than the other place I had originally booked. I owe a huge thanks to Katie who was so fantastic, as well as Domonique and Nancy. I've dealt with so many companies both here and at the destination wedding site, and they put Brancato's at the top of the list! read more

Just did a tasting for my wedding and the food was amazing. So flavorful, especially the potato chip crusted Salmon. My wedding will be in July but so far I'm very impressed. They were super safe and very kind. The Vegan option was amazing. The chicken Roulade had so much flavor. And that steak was so good we ate the entire plate. Well worth checking out if you are getting married in the Kansas City area. read more

We have used them several years for our work catering. We have done Italian and it is amazing! It's always a hit and the service is wonderful!! If you need catering, I highly recommend!! read more

We just attended a large event where Brancatos was the selected caterer. The food was beautifully presented and tasted so very delicious. We are vegetarians so opted for the vegetarian plate and we were not disappointed. The Butternut Squash Ravioli was scrumptious-best we've ever had! The guests at our table who ate the meat option raved about it. The beef was perfection and the Boursin-stuffed chicken was the talk of the dinner! The wait staff was efficient and gracious. The desserts were actually vegan and were so wonderful no one even suspected! We think Brancatos did a remarkable job catering the Gala! Thank you! read more

Review only for a First Friday gallery event that Brancato was catering for. The presentation was so aesthetically pleasing. A long tall table draped (such a good idea when children will be at the event, keeps the food little hands free and far more comfortable than leaning over the food) with black table cloth in the middle of the room under a stunning chandelier. Tiered platters featuring chilled grilled vegetables, cheeses, fruit, lump crab cakes, and brushetta (their was more just can't remember). Self service with clear plates and black napkins. It was a well thought out spread and everything looked clean and fresh. By far the most colorful space in the gallery. read more

Brancato's catered a wedding I attended this weekend. The food was yummy! There were two vegetarian pasta options, penne Alfredo and a bow-tie with garlic, olive oil and sun dried tomatoes. Both were tasty and warm. I understand that chicken Parmesan was a big hit, too, but I can't vouch for that. There was also mixed salad, and bread. All tasty. read more

Not to brag, but Brancato's provided the absolute best wedding food that I've ever had for our reception. We went with a KC bbq theme (burnt ends, oven-roasted chicken, cheesy corn bake, mac & cheese and salad) and every item was mouthwatering. I am gluten intolerant and we had a few celiac and dairy/ lactose intolerant guests, but Brancato's was more than willing to make adjustments to accommodate us which we felt was important! Laura Ann was a delight to work with and did a great job keeping us on time. We have received endless comments about how fantastic the food was, and despite the fact that Brancato's is a catering company, I felt like we got to treat our out-of-town guests to "authentic" Kansas City barbecue. Brancato's/ Laura Ann: THANK YOU for adding to the perfection of our wedding day! read more

My employer, being a gracious man catered our lunch today from Brancato's. To say the least, it was not worth the money he spent what so ever. I was amazed that my taco salad had plenty of lettuce, but only a small 2" diameter by 1" deep container of tortilla strips. They should rename the meal ground hamburger salad with peppers. I believe that would be more fitting in my observation. There were other complaints as well from a few employees. One person ordered chicken alfredo, but to his amazement there was only a couple strips of chicken; Interesting to say the least. I think they should rethink how they prepare there food, and maybe base it more on quality. I noticed that most people gave them a 4 or 5 star rating, but from what i have gathered on my own experience they are not worthy of that rating what so ever. read more

Brancato catered my wedding recently, and I thought they did a great job. I don't know how many compliments we got on the food. Guests who said they never enjoyed wedding food went and got seconds, and everything I ate I liked. The package we chose allowed for two main courses for a very reasonable price. We choose the stuffed chicken in a cream sauce and the beef brisket. Our best man said, "I could have guzzled a glass of the cream sauce," which actually sounds pretty gross, but I can appreciate. And the barbeque was great, too! Also, the head caterer (whose name I don't recall b/c my parents were nice enough to meet with him) made sure that we as bride and groom had plates of food waiting for us. They had this priority straight, although the DJ did complain that staff was not served any food. Anyway, all in all I highly recommend. If you want an affordable package that is still better than normal wedding food, go with Brancato. read more

Went to a customer open house catered by Brancato's today. The staff was hard working and friendly. The brisket and the fried chicken were both very delicious. The chicken is actually marinated in a non-dairy brine and the flour is well seasoned. I also like the BBQ sauce they served. Looks like a company that is going beyond slopping food from chaffing dish to paper plates... so bravo. read more

So many people told me that I'd be so frazzled during my wedding day that I'd forget to eat & wouldn't even sit down long enough to enjoy the food at the reception. Brancato's food was SO delicious that I made sure I was able to enjoy it, no matter how hectic the night was :) My husband and I love good food that's wholesome, healthy & of quality. We knew that's exactly what we were getting when we scheduled the tasting. They even made custom flavored cupcakes because we expressed that we'd rather do that than a large cake. There's so much variety that I can't imagine someone it wouldn't appeal to. The food is prepared so deliciously and the presentation is impeccable. Our reception venue as Cellar 222, and Brancato's was very familiar with their closing policy etc. and helped with that process. The staff was so attentive and made sure that everyone had what they needed without anyone ever asking for a thing. The experience couldn't have been better and we can't thank them enough for a wonderful evening truly filled with great service & food! read more

We've used Brancato's for several events and they are always perfect: the staff are friendly and efficient, the food is tasty with plenty of leftovers and the cost is reasonable. Laura was great at creating a menu for us that was elegant, trendy and delectable. I recommend them for any event you can think of. read more

My wife and I had our wedding at the end of May 2021 and we were very fortunate to have Brancato's cater our reception. There is a reason why Brancato's is one of the most sought-after wedding caterers in the KC area and it is because they are the best at what they do. A lot of couples say that they do not get a chance to eat at their wedding, and I know I have been to many weddings with food that was sub-par. Brancato's exceeded all my expectations. Our entrees included burnt ends and chicken pot pie so I was determined to eat on my wedding day! The food was outstanding and the service from the professionals who joined us was incredible. The manager introduced himself to us before dinner started and several times during dinner members of the staff approached us to make sure we had everything we needed. We did not have desserts in our package but we did have hors d'oeuvres before dinner. Everything we tasted was wonderful and many of our guests complimented our choice of food because they felt the same way. I would highly recommend Brancato's to anyone who wants a simply perfect catering experience. read more

We had Brancato's do our wedding of 300 last weekend (December 2017) and they absolutely rocked it. The on site staff was so communicative throughout the night, and we heard absolute rave reviews from all our guests about how delicious the food was. We served BBQ pulled pork, brisket, cheesey corn, and mashed potatoes and it was all well made and to die for. They were also the most affordable option we could find and well worth every penny. read more

The food from Brancato's is amazing! They catered my wedding and everyone raved about the food. The caterers were so friendly and did a great job serving everything. We ordered extra food in case of potential "pop-in" guests so we had some left overs which was nice! We ordered from the Summer Memories menu, we had bbq brisket of beef Oven roasted turkey macaroni salad, so so good! marinated cucumber salad It was delicious guys! Thank you!! read more

I found Brancato's at the Overland Park Convention center for the KC Bridal Spectacular Show in February 2017. Their display was amazing and definitely a must see piece in the whole show. Their food was delicious and they left an impression on me. Now it's almost September 2017 and we are ready to book our caterer for our June 2018 wedding and I immediately knew I wanted to talk to Brancato's again. We set up a tasting with the sales rep named Emily. Due to certain events we actually had to move the time of our tasting 3 times. I felt so bad that I had moved the time so much but Emily was fantastic and answered all of my questions very fast through email. I had a few changes I wanted to do on the menu and they accommodated our request without hesitation. My fiancé and I arrived for the tasting and we were given a HUGE spread of all of the food we picked out to taste (5-7 options). They give you a full meal that's for sure. It was DELICIOUS! Emily let us eat in private and then she came in towards the end of our meal and we talked over more details about what we want. She had a detailed quote of everything we wanted for us ready. They even packaged up the leftovers of the remaining food and let us take it home! The pricing is extremely reasonable for all the food you get! Plus the staff and the display they do for your food. This was a big plus for me because I want our meal to stand out with a beautiful display. Emily said we can send her pictures of displays we find on Pinterest or on their Instagram that fits our theme (outdoor rustic) and they will make it happen! We are blown away with Brancato's and we can't wait to continue to work with them for our wedding in June! Thank you Brancato's for making this experience great! Update: 6/18/18 We could not be happier with how our event went with Brancato's Catering! Emily's communication with us throughout the week of our event helped put our mind at ease knowing everything was going to go smoothly! Our guests loved the food and we only heard wonderful things about it! The display was spectacular and our wishes were granted! We would love to work with Brancatos again in the future! We highly recommend the BBQ Buffet! We were pleased we were able to modify the menu a bit! read more

We could not have been more happy with Brancatos! First of all, the food was simply amazing and the staff could not have done a better job! I honestly thought they might be out of our budget, but I was way wrong! For a wedding of 300 and a large venue, they beat the prices of everyone else we looked at in Kansas City! Most of all, Laura Hamilton, made our experience perfect! Laura completely took the stress off of us, worked so hard to make our day exactly what we wanted, and kept us informed, every step of the way! I would recommend Brancatos to anyone looking to do a small or large event, and I would highly recommend Laura to anyone who wants their wedding day to be perfect! She is simply amazing! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts! - Zach and Erik Dillon-Wray read more

Brancato's catered my daughter's wedding reception and did an absolutely fabulous job! We worked with Michelle on the planning and she was at the event to make sure everything was perfect. The food was delicious and the presentation was wonderful!! Michelle even made plates of food for the bride and groom and took them to a quiet corner so they could sit down for a minute and enjoy the food. Amazing. We are 100% pleased with our Brancato's experience!! read more

Look no further, hire this company. Michelle and her crew were outstanding. The buffet ran smoothly. The food was fabulous and the buffet was beautifully decorated. It was the best catered food I've ever had! The plates were cleared quickly. They even helped me decorate! read more

We have used Brancato's for multiple work functions and all reviews received back from our associates is top notch. I don't have to worry about the small things such as , is there enough food for everyone, will it arrive on time and hot. Great menu options, the food and service is excellent! I know we will continue using Brancato's in the future. The only fault, I can see if any is the multple people I have worked with but then again, turnover is inevitable regardless of the company and type of business. Each person that I have worked with has been professional, courtesy and very much willing to help negotiate pricing and work with delivering to the two locations we have. read more

My fiancé and I went there, because we heard their the best. I made an appointment, but when we showed up no one had any clue we were coming. It took 20 minutes to get a hold of the gentleman we were already scheduled to see. The gentleman showed up to ignore us half the time and kept texting on his phone. He got upset when we didn't know what we wanted for food. We didn't know their menu and needed some information, but was denied or interrupted every time we asked a question. We finally agreed to some food so we could just leave. When the estimate was sent to us it was out of the range previously disclosed. All we wanted was some guidance or help. We are very simple and instead we got ignored and almost put down. Unless your rich and uppity I would not use their services. I am sure millionaires get good service from them, but the average joe will not. One of the few places that made us want to elope and not do a wedding at all. read more

I have been to numerous events catered by Brancato's and the food is always phenomenal! They also have really professional staff.

Both the event rental and the caterer departments let us down tremendously on the day of our wedding. We had the ceremony and the reception at the same venue, so fortunately I walked into the reception hall before getting ready and saw that they had delivered the wrong chairs in time for them to correct the mistake--except that they did not have enough of the chair I had ordered and I had to decide on new chairs without even seeing them. Our wedding was in a medieval church and they delivered black plastic and chrome chairs that looked like they belonged on a spaceship. While I was getting ready, a contact from the company came into my bridal chamber while I was taking pictures and asked me about putting black tablecloths on all of the tables, which were already set up. We did not order any tablecloths! The only linens we ordered were napkins-which were not black! In spite of the fact that we had already paid the company to wash the dishes and close after the reception, they decided that they would leave the 100 dirty dishes and silverware in the kitchen for our friends and family to deal with. When I personally talked to them about it they said that they were "specifically told not to wash our dishes" and that they would not be cleaning them. The kitchen was equipped with a commercial dishwasher and I had already told the company months in advance that they could take our dishes with them and we would get them from them later that week if it was a problem--but we definitely paid for the closing service and china handling fee which included washing our dishes! This was all way more stress than my family and I needed on my big day when I just wanted to be a bride. I would not recommend this company to anyone! read more

I went through 3 different associates because the first two quit, which should have been a red flag. My third associate appeared new and somewhat clueless, having to constantly ask other associates questions but I still had sympathy at this point. My problem was that I upgraded 220-ish red wine glasses, white wine glasses, and champagne flutes for over an extra grand to be set up at each guests seat and Brancato's and I agreed that the Brancato's staff would provide wine service. Well, long story short, the glasses were set out on all of the tables and NEVER USED. They sat on all the guests tables all night and the agreed upon wine service was never delivered. Instead, they used the non-upgraded wine glasses at the bar. The upgraded glasses and flutes sat on the tables all night, empty. I felt ridiculous when I found out that all the tables were cluttered all night with empty, non-used upgraded glassware, and I felt like an idiot that I paid for glassware that was never used. Brancato's literally never answered my phone calls or emails about it so I clearly was never refunded. Oh and once you sign the dotted line they're basically unreachable. You're on the back burner and they're on to the next. And lastly, the food is so much better at the tasting than it is on your wedding day. We had a steak that was covered in an awesome mushroom bechamel sauce at the tasting; on the wedding day it was a tiny, poor excuse for a steak with the smallest drizzle of sauce. The veggie meal was a seriously amazing buttery heaping bowl of butternut squash ravioli at the tasting, but on the wedding day it was three, THREE, tiny pieces of dry ravioli, lacking any sauce whatsoever. I spent around $14,000 on their catering service for around 220 people and let me tell you, I would gladly have given that to any other caterer in KC. Oh and I almost forgot, they bussed mine and my husbands meals before we even sat down! Our associate was completely and blatantly rude to my bridesmaid when she asked if they could bring us two new plates. There are plenty of other caterers in KC that fulfill their promises, don't rip off their customers, are reachable, and aren't rude. I also forgot to add that they "ran out of the vegetarian meal" (mind you it was a seated head count) and they told my vegetarian cousin that she either got the steak dish or nothing at all. How they had extra steak and not the much cheaper veggie alternative I'll never understand, but telling a vegetarian she either eats steak or nothing is tasteless and unacceptable. Lastly, the multiple times I visited for tastings or meetings with Brancato's I had to wait 20+ minutes to meet with my associate, and one time she even scheduled two meetings at the same time, visiting back & forth, frazzled, and had to be reminded of what we've already been through each time she would come back to me from the simultaneous meeting. Let's be honest, everyone tells you "the food was amazing!!", "you looked beautiful!", "your ceremony was perfect!" because guests are cordial beings by nature, however, now that it's been awhile since my wedding I've asked my closest friends their honest opinions, and they've all acknowledged the food "was okay", "I mean, it wasn't horrible" and my best friend is getting married and she's not even considering Brancato's as her caterer if that tells you anything. read more

Fully plated dinner for wedding reception: Food tasted amazing. Great staff. Professional and organized.

We had a birthday party at our home for wife. We had 50+ guest and everyone of them raved about the food. The tent guys were on time for setup and take down. We had several table and chairs that were delivered along with linens. Miranda was the person we dealt with through the entire process. She was there when the caterer arrived and noted that they didn't have the correct linen for one of the tables. Miranda step up and got this taken care of right away. Great job to the entire team at Brancato's! We will use again and have recommended them to several friends. read more
