We recently used Fat Freddy's Catering for my parents' 40th anniversary party, and they were absolutely fantastic. The food was great--everything was fresh, flavorful, and a hit with all of our guests. But what really stood out was the service. Bradford went above and beyond in every way. He helped keep the party running smoothly by picking up plates, keeping things organized, and even making to-go boxes for guests at the end of the night. He was an absolute rock star and made a huge difference in allowing us to relax and enjoy the celebration. Couldn't recommend them more highly! read more

We used Fat Freddy's Catering for a 60th birthday party. The entire experience was very pleasant and hassle-free. The ordering process was clear and efficient and the administrative staff was always available to answer any questions that arose. This company is not short on communication and both the owner, Eric, and manager, Carson, ensured that our experience was wonderful and our expectations were exceeded. The catering menu itself is large (15 pages long) and diverse with many different options including passed appetizers, dinner packages, carving stations, and much more. We opted for the delivery service and ordered about ten Heavy Hor's d'Oeuvres from the À la carte menu items for our party of 45. Delivery was on time and set up was as expected. While I would not recommend the Crab & Cheese Rangoons (overcooked and dry) nor the Bruschetta (Crostini toasts were too hard/crunchy), most of our menu choices were delicious: - Mini Cuban Sandwiches (amazing) - Mini Beef Wellingtons with Creamy Horseradish (amazing) - Thai Peanut Chicken Skewers (excellent) - Flatbread with pulled pork and caramelized onions (excellent) - Marinated Grilled Vegetable Display (excellent) - Firecracker Shrimp Spring Rolls (good, but a bit overcooked/crunchy) [- Tomato bruschetta itself was fresh and flavorful] Overall a great first experience ... This company was very easy to work with and we will use them again for future events. read more

Fat Freddy's catered my sister's wedding last autumn. She rented a huge home in Scottsdale and held the wedding in the backyard, so it was probably less straightforward for them than other situations. The food was really good, but the service, particularly, Rachel, Anthony, and Adrian, was top-notch. They made it as easy as possible on all of us and that was hugely appreciated! read more

We were deciding between Fat Freddy's Catering and another well-known catering service in the Phoenix area for our wedding. The cost between the two was comparable and reasonable. We met with Kandyce, and after the food tasting and experiencing her delightful personality, the choice became obvious. We are so glad we decided to go with Fat Freddy's Catering. All of our guests thought the food was delicious, and the staff was absolutely delightful. Everything went so well that we even increased our tip for the staff before they left. Thank you for helping make our night so much more special.. read more

Fat Freddy's catered my wedding this past weekend, and it was wonderful! We selected the Italian menu, which came with lovely options, and also included a vegan and gluten-free addition for those with dietary restrictions! The presentation of the buffet was absolutely lovely, and they were quick and efficient on clearing plates and refilling water. Plus, my husband and I, and a lot of our guests, couldn't stop raving about how good the food was!! I couldn't be happier with them as my choice for catering. I highly recommend, especially since they offer a wide selection of types of menus! read more

The food was fresh and well prepared. The entire experience was amazing. We will definitely use them again. read more

Woo-hoo... we celebrated our 30th Wedding Anniversary and guess who catered us... Fat Freddy's! Food was excellent! Server and Carver excellent - professional and nice! Overall experience, excellent! These folks offered us an incredible array of eats which included: Herb crusted beef tenderloin; Chicken Marsala; Potato Au Gratin; Baby Carrot and French Bean Bundles; Raspberry Vinaigrette; Fresh tomato and cucumber slices with Kale, Daikon sprouts, pumpkin seeds and goat cheese; Fresh fruit display with assorted crackers. Carver, Catering Staff/Server; Acrylic package of plates, dinnerware, cake forks, napkins. And it was all terrific, with the exception of the Chicken Marsala, which was not bad, but not quite to the level of everything else in the servings. What made it even more terrific is that they were integrated behind the scenes... they're not there, but then they're there! Professional, courteous, invisible and great personalities. They made the event (according to us and our guests), excellent! Considering the costs of catering today, Fat Freddy's was reasonable. Overall, all our expectations were met! We highly recommend them! read more

Even though it's a bit of a drive, this BBQ spot is totally worth it. The brisket was some of the best I've ever had. Their tangy coleslaw balanced the smoky meat perfectly. Staff made the trip feel even more worthwhile with their kind service. I'll happily make the journey again. read more

Fat Freddy's is amazing. We hired them for our 40 guest backyard wedding. They were like ninjas, coming in quietly and setting up, The spread was beautiful, decorated so nicely. We had the prime rib and chicken, and mashed potatoes, carrots, and salad. It was all delicious! We got many compliments on the food. Also, Bradford was awesome. He was helpful in every way you want a caterer to be. We didn't have a cake table. He cleared off the catering tables and made a beautiful display with our cake. We appreciated him so much! My only suggestion is better knives when prime rib is served. Otherwise, I highly recommend Fat Freddys for your event! We will definitely use them again. read more

My daughter was married in October in Mesa. We had about 140 guests. We had two appetizers with Fajitas as the main course. There were many children at the wedding and Kandyce suggested quesadillas for the children which worked beautifully. The food was delicious and the portions generous. They provided fish for the non meat eaters and a special dish for one person with food restrictions. The food was served buffet style. When I asked about providing water Kandyce said that they would set up a water station at no additional charge with glasses which was great. We received many compliments from our guests on the quality of the food. Given the outstanding reviews I was not surprised but still very happy. The pricing was very fair. Several guests commented to us that the staff were extremely helpful and kind. Kandyce was lovely and very easy to work with. I am from out of state but would have no hesitation using Fat Freddy's Catering again if I were to cater another event in the Phoenix area. read more

https://www.facebook.com/FatFreddysCatering There are really no words to describe how pleased we were for our Vow Renewal Celebration on 17 February 2024! However, I will try to express our thoughts in this article. First, the contract was perfect for the small amount of guests (40) we entertained. Then, the presentation and quality of food was absolutely perfect, as well. We chose a BBQ buffet preceded by a wonderful appetizer all staged in a custom that was overwhelming to us and our guests by a single presenter named 'Dan' who, again. was so very pleasant, professional and seemed invisible to our party. What an outstanding event that my wife, Maggie, and I will never forget!!! For sure, our guests will never forget this occasion and all agreed that they will hire the team from Fat Freddy's in the future!! read more

My family and I wanted to do something special for my mother in law's remembrance dinner. And celebrate thanksgiving early. We didn't want to worry about making food. So I thought it would be a good idea to hire a catering company. Being in a different state made it a little bit more challenging since I wasn't familiar with Arizona. I jumped on Google and Yelp. And I'm so glad I came across Fat Freddy catering company. All their reviews were good. First off, Kandyce our coordinator was so helpful. She answered all my questions. She alway got back to me in a timely matter. She was very nice. Second, the attention to detail that they provided us at my Mother in law's Remembrance/ thanksgiving dinner. They showed up on time and the presentation was just what I was expecting. The setup went very smooth and effortlessly, the family was happy with the food and portions of the food. They gave way more than expected. What we picked for our meal. Slow Smoked Beef Brisket Creamy Horseradish & Au Jus Seared Atlantic Salmon Over Crimson Lentil Ragout Individual Layered Yukon Potato Gratin Baby Carrot & French Bean Bundles with Honey Butter Fresh Tomato & Cucumber Slices Kale, Daikon Sprouts & Pumpkin Seeds Tart Raspberry Vinaigrette Crusty Dinner Rolls & Whipped Herb Butter The smoked Brisket was a hit with everyone along with the Salmon. The raspberry vinaigrette was amazing! Everything was so good. They did not disappoint. I would definitely recommend this catering company for all events. I'm so happy I found them! They made our dinner memorable. read more

i must be honest, attended a birthday party celebration that was being catered.. i had low expectations on food, service etc.. but when i got to the party, the service level from JESSICA was outstanding - engaging to all attendees and literally catered to everyone's needs. engaging, personality, JESSICA fit into the party and was dialed in down to the detail. now that you know that FAT FREDDY has outstanding service and will fit into your party/event - lets get to it. we did the BBQ selection for about 40-50 people, i gotta tell you.. i know great bbq having gone to college near LOCKHART, TX (black's bbq and Bryans and i know the salt lick inn in far south west austin) - Fat freddy delivered: the ribs were tender, flavorful and fall off the bone the chicken was among the best i have had and perfectly seasoned. The brisket was well cooked, better seasoned and absolutely swimming in the best juice ever - the brisket did not need BBQ sauce. the mac and cheese was good, the potato salad was acceptable (hey, i dont think after the ribs and brisket i even remember eating the salad) haaaa my next event will not only be catered from this FAT FREDDY - but i will request Jessica by name - well done read more
