Boyd is kind and welcoming and his food is off the charts. We hired him for our wedding event and the guests have been raving about the food ever since. We got the prime rib station and the potatoes and they were delicious. We had the best wedding day, thanks Boyd and team! read more

Boyd created a special menu for my Kentucky Derby party. Every dish and dessert was derby themed and delicious! The food was delivered on time. And the team is responsive and kind. Over all a great and easy experience. read more

The taco bar was a perfect choice for our wedding! Everything was delicious and the process was very easy. They even offered to cut and serve our wedding cake for us read more

At this point I cannot recommend them for catering. We had a tasting and decided on the menu for our wedding. The food was delicious! We paid a 50% deposit and went on our way. One week later we got a call that they couldn't do our wedding catering. I was not mad, but I sure was surprised. We were told the deposit would be mailed back to us. It has been almost three weeks and we have not received our deposit back. We have called them twice and have not heard back, despite them being open for business. Oh and and my favorite part. When we showed up for the tasting they weren't ready for us. They said there was a no-show for a tasting an hour prior. (One of us must have written the time down wrong, either us or the manager.) But, if we indeed had an earlier appointment, why didn't they call us and ask if we were still coming. Weird. read more

Chef Boyd and his wife Vicki are amazing to work with. We hired them to cater our wedding last month at Wine Time. We had a tasting set up about 3 months ahead of the wedding. We decided to go with the salmon, tri tip, roasted vegetables, potato wedges and strawberry almond salad. All of guests enjoyed the food and many went back for seconds. Chef Boyd and his team set up before the wedding ended and reception began. His team was professional and was nice enough to pack up our left overs. I recommend his team to anyone having a wedding or any large event. read more

Chico Catering Company catered a 'Barn Dance' for about 150 people, for a party the night before our wedding. They did an amazing job! We felt like they listened to our needs and worked with us on our vision of a fun country barbeque. On site, they cooked outside without a true kitchen. Dinner consisted of ribs, barbeque chicken, cornbread, mac & cheese to name a few. For dessert, we wanted a fair theme, with their creativity we came up with funnel cakes, cotton candy, and caramel apples.Their professionalism, presentation, and food was impressive. read more

Chico Catering Company is a true class act. I just got married yesterday and I felt compelled to spread the word for this great company! Boyd and Vicki were so courteous and professional, and were so focused on making our day as seamless and special as possible. We even had WAY more people show up that didn't RSVP, and they took in stride, and went back to their kitchen to bring in MORE food! That right there shows any bride exactly WHY they should hire Chico Catering Company! Their setup was beautiful, and service was friendly. I have been to many catered events in the area and they are second to none! I also heard many guests commenting on how the food and the service was the best they had ever experienced. Thanks so much Boyd, Vicki, and all the Folks at Chico Catering! read more

I went back for a second try. The order was prepared properly this time. The sliders were tasty, but the fries were again over seasoned and impossible to eat. read more

Boyd and his team did an excellent job at our wedding last weekend. I can't tell you how many people told us that it was the "best wedding food they'd ever eaten." The tri-tip was cooked to perfection and the bacon lollipops were a huge hit! He provided two salads and two sides in addition to the two meat options. Plates were cleared in a timely manner and he made sure to set aside some appetizers for the wedding party. The champagne toast was a nice addition as his staff made sure everyone's glass was poured and it just seemed super professional. He was easy to work with. I'd recommend Chico Catering Co to anyone looking for food for their wedding or special event! Cheers, The Hansens read more

I can see how they would be good for a corporate catering event, but for a wedding, not so much. Our wedding coordinator tried to deter us from using CCC but after the warm welcome we received to our tasting, we simply ignored the warning and went with CCC. We should have listened. The food was good, don't get me wrong; no complaints. It was the service that was such a huge disappointment. We purchased expensive wine to be placed on the tables... Didn't get there until halfway through the meal (thanks to all of our other vendors; think photographers and videographers putting wine on tables.) Severely understaffed and the kids that were there didn't seem to know what was happening. Confusion abound despite spending hours discussing the details; it was a mess. I won't waste time going into all of the details. If you're booking a corporate event and good food is your top priority, they'll be fine. If you're booking one of the biggest days of your life, I'd stay far away. read more

I had lunch today at Slammin' Sliders & Gourmet Fries. When I arrived there was one person already there who had already ordered. I stood outside the shack while a lone person cooked. I waited patiently hoping he would take my order. After about 5-7 min a second man showed up and started posting signs for daily specials. After about 4-5 min of him fidgeting he finally asked if I had ordered yet. I said no and was finally able to place my order. I ordered the 3 slider combo with Onion rings and a Lemon-aid. Fried Chicken Slider, Cuban Slider and a BBQ bacon cheeseburger. I took a seat and started the wait. About 10 min later the one customer ahead of me was served. I thought to myself that this can't be a good sign. Fortunately it was only about another 5 min until my meal was ready. I had to return to the window and ask for my drink as they forgot to. So the good news is that all the sandwiches were hot and well made. The fried chicken had the best flavor but would benefit from having the chicken butterflied before frying so that it covered the bun. As it was, it was a thick chunk of meat but only covered maybe half of the small bun. Most my bites only contained gravy. Also, I was not a fan of the type of bread they choose. All three sliders came on a bun that to me was way too heavy. It was almost the density of a bagel. I think a softer bun would show off the flavors better. As for the onion rings, they were made fresh to order and I appreciate that but they were WAY too salty. Cut back on the salt! And I like a lot of salt. The lemon-aid was flavored with Torani syrup and was very good. Over all, I reduced the score because of the salt, the dense bread and the price. My lunch was $14 and I find that to be on the high side. With less salt and a different bread choice they could get to 4 stars. 5 stars would require a change in price structure. It's a shack.. Prices should not be on par with the better sit down restaurants downtown IMO. read more

I was left in a huge bind after my caterer went silent on me, and was left with only two weeks to prepare for my event. Chico stepped in and saved the day! My other caterer had promised an ice cream bar and so the kids were SO excited. I was really worried I was going to have to break the bad news..... Chico said they could gladly arrange that and even go beyond. Not only can they set up a full ice cream bar but they also have a Gourmet Smores Bar with homemade flavored smores and table top burner! A Gourmet Brownie & Milk Bar with 4-5 different kinds of brownies and chocolate and regular milk! Boyd mentioned drinks and I am so glad because I completely spaced on the alcohol. Chico Catering also owns Chico Bar and Beverage Service!! Boyd told me he could bring the bar, which was modeled after a 1940 Dodge pickup ( SO COOL!!). Boyd told me he could create EVERYTHING on the menu my old caterer had offered. I was so pleased with the customer service of this company. My event ended up getting canceled before it happened :( but I'm always looking for another excuse to book with Chico Catering. Would never go with anyone else. read more

Chico Catering Company recently catered our son's wedding. It was a frustrating experience from beginning to end. The company is sorely deficient in its public relations. The owner failed to answer emails for days on end. The attention to details that you expect in a caterer was lacking. He changed the price on napkins at the last minute, we cancelled the napkins, and were billed for them in the final charges anyway. The food was good, but La Familia offers the same quality with a wider variety at a much cheaper price. I'd stay away from this company if you want to feel secure about the catering at your event. read more

Their sample food is really good which is why we booked them in the first place. I would imagine if they actually made it to the wedding they would probably do a good job, but not completely sure... We met them at the Chico Bridal show & then at their house for a tasting & signed a contract with them for the date 30 may 2015. My wife to be and I were promised to have the wonderful wedding experience we hope for. We met with & signed this contract approximately 8 months in advance to assure we would have catering available. Everything was going to plan. That was until late march (2 months out from wedding date) when we received an email from CCC stating they would not be catering our wedding. We were quite shocked at first, but sent an email back stating that they had cashed our check, an agreement had been signed and therefor they were contractually obligated to cater our wedding. The return email to our response was quite hostile in nature, stating as point of fact we had never paid nor had there been a contract signed and that because of this they would not be doing the wedding. It went on to say that because we did not pay, and that there was no contract signed that they had agreed to another event that day and time -meaning a bigger wedding & more money. We showed them copies of our cashed deposit & from there their excuses ranged from not doing small weddings (even though at time of our meeting we told them headcount & agreed to pay an additional fee for a SMALLER wedding), to not enough staff, because of the holiday weekend -which it wasn't. Since canceling on us we reasonably wanted our deposit back. We never & still have not gotten to talk with Vicki or anyone as she never returned any of our phone calls (canceled on us via email) or emails which turned frequent after over a month of not receiving our deposit back. If you're not going to hold up your end of a contract with a customer at least send them back their money!... It took us a long time but we did find a caterer who did a wonderful job on our wedding. At the time this was soooo stressful (like a couple needs more stress while planning a wedding) but in the end it was a blessing in disguise as we cannot recommend these people to anyone & have since heard the same from others. So, we can't say anything as to how they serviced our wedding because they never showed up. The purposefully reneged on our contract and then attempted to blame us for the shortcoming. Good luck to you if you so choose this company, but I would get a back up, since even under contract they do not believe they are under contract. read more

Do not use this caterer. I would have given zero stars if it was an option. Admittedly, this review is long overdue. We used this caterer for our wedding over a year ago and so many things went wrong. We ordered bar service with a specific bar setup - they brought the wrong setup. They brought a barn door for a classy, non-rustic wedding. Fortunately, at the whim, I grabbed spare fabric used for other wedding decor when we left our house that morning and was able to use it to cover the door. The bartender, who apparently was a last-minute replacement, didn't know how to open wine bottles. Our guests had to show him. The tables didn't have any water ready for our guests. Our guests apparently had to ask repeatedly for water. They didn't include a specific appetizer we requested. They brought the wrong potato side. We were really looking forward to some roasted gold yukon potatoes - they brought scalloped potatoes. Totally different. THEY WERE LATE PREPARING THE FOOD. And, we were charged for two additional hours of bar service that never occurred because the reception ended earlier than we anticipated. Of course, we tried contacting the caterer multiple times to work out some sort of reasonable refund for the undelivered/wrong food and extra hours of bar service at a minimum (should have been at least $1,000 refund). We received one email saying the check was sent out. I triple-confirmed our mailing address and never received the check. I again, contacted the vendor letting them know we did not receive the refund. They claim they cancelled the previous check and reissued a new one. I again confirmed our mailing address, which had not changed, and to this day we have still not received a refund. I will never use this caterer again or visit their restaurant in town and I will always recommend my friends and family use someone else. They aren't even reasonably priced. They wowed us with their tasting and then did a horrible job after they got their money. read more

Chico Catering Company provided us cakes for an event for my sorority. This was my second time using their services. I described I wanted elegant, beautiful looking cheesecakes that were cream and incorporated some pink. The owner assured me this was totally possible and suggested the raspberry swirl cheesecake. I should mention communicating with these people is soooo difficult- they take forever to get back to you via email and via phone and I had to call multiple times and leave multiple messages before hearing back from them. Anyways- the day of the event I see that the cheesecakes are yellow- not cream- and the "pink" swirl was more like a pale mauve that you couldn't even notice that much. And the raspberry garnish was merely 2 raspberries on top. And the slices were far from elegant- most of the pieces were literally falling apart on the plates. Don't get me wrong- they tasted amazing, but the presentation was really disappointing, especially considering the amount we paid and the fact that for this event, presentation really mattered. read more
