I decided to order Christmas Eve dinner from them as I had everyone home for the holidays this year and it was 20 people. First of all it was very easy to order on-line from their holiday menu. The order was ready to pick up during the window it was supposed to be, but they forgot one item and my husband had to go back for it. I ordered the boneless sliced ham as I thought that would be an easy choice for all ages. It turned out that I had to spend a half-hour of my time trimming the ham. It was so fatty that I couldn't possibly serve it to my guests in the state it arrived! Very disappointing to say the least. The bakery items were the best, with dinner rolls, cookies and banana bread for Christmas breakfast all being big hits. Everyone also enjoyed the breakfast frittata.

It was so classy, and the food was delicious. They handled every detail from servers to silverware and saved me not only money but stress! I would recommend them for any event! Professional.

Busy Bee Catering swooped in and saved the day with their "Sides-Giving" offerings fit for royalty! Their fluffy mashed potatoes and gravy were divine. Their chicken apple sausage stuffing was a show stopper, as was the relish tray (as big as a trough for my goats), roasted vegetables and Fall harvest salad topped with sinfully delicious candied pecans. I feel like getting married again so Busy Bee Catering can handle the food. Thank you so much! You'll be seeing me and my hungry tummy again SOON!

You will not be tasting what you want at your event, first red flag. I did not want anything even similar to bbq but apparently that was all I was allowed to taste because they had made some that day. Were we tasting part of another clients order on their dime? Probably. Complimented the bbq sauce, was told it's STORE BAUGHT and they just add to it. She was extremely rude, talking down to myself, my Fiance, and our 2 friends that joined (clearly was not okay even though I said I would have friends joining) my Fiance asked how they ensure the chicken (we wanted a chicken option) was not dry and she told us "sometimes chicken is just dry". Told us our guests that drank alcohol would all be carded and watched very closely like children. I wanted to have my own table decor to match everything else, hard no from her. This was the worst experience EVER. I could do a better job for a fraction of the cost. Even if you are on a hard budget do yourself a favor and just do the food yourself, you'll do a better job.

I loved the beef sliders and all the lovely little potsticker-type meat filled pastries, as well as chicken skewers and dipping sauces. They also served your typical hummus and bread, veggies and dips and plenty of fresh fruit. Our VIP bracelets meant complimentary cocktails and the staff was fast and friendly in serving them. I am unsure of their pricing but if it's comparable to other highly recommended catering companies, I would definitely give them a chance to provide their services for your next party.

I hired this caterer about a month in advance for a baby shower for approximately 20 guests, with a…read morefood order totaling over $1,200. They were scheduled to arrive at 3:00 PM on Saturday. By 3:20, no one had arrived and I still hadn't heard anything. Around 3:25, I began trying to contact someone. After finally reaching someone after 3:30, I was told the kitchen had been extremely busy that day. At that point, I began to suspect the food might not be coming. At 3:49 PM -- just minutes before guests were arriving for a two-hour event -- I received a call letting me know the food had not even been made yet. I was told it might be ready "in a couple hours," and they suggested I order food elsewhere instead. We were left scrambling at the absolute last minute. We ended up ordering pizzas and salad from a local restaurant while family members rushed to the grocery store to put together charcuterie boards in the kitchen as guests arrived. It was stressful, embarrassing, and honestly hard to believe. I have worked in hospitality, events, fundraising, and vendor management since 2008 -- from hotels to nonprofit development work -- and I regularly hire caterers, bartenders, and vendors for professional events. In all those years, I have never experienced a caterer simply not show up and fail to communicate beforehand that they would not be delivering. To their credit, the contact person did apologize afterward and explained they were understaffed and going through staffing challenges. She also stated they would refund the order and help reimburse the replacement food costs. However, nearly a week later, I still have not received the full refund or reimbursement. I understand that difficult days happen in the service industry. What was most disappointing here was the complete lack of communication before the event and the position it put us in as hosts. Unfortunately, based on this experience, I would not feel comfortable relying on this company again for an event.

We had several dietary restrictions and allergies to consider for ourselves and our guests and Crave made it effortless and exciting to come up with alternatives. And the food was FANTASTIC! When choosing our menu, Crave gave us so many options, that choosing our menu became more exciting than stressful (unlike other catering companies we viewed prior to finding Crave). The food was incredible and everyone was able to dance on the dance floor without feeling weighed down by the meal (very important)! It was beyond our expectations and luckily we were sent home with leftovers so we got to enjoy it for a few more days. All of our guests continue to talk about how incredible the food was which is quite the compliment to Crave! I would HIGHLY recommend choosing Crave for your event or wedding. I promise, you won't regret it!

Wow, everything was done to perfection - from Kerry Davis' communication with me, her follow up, her on site team providing excellent service day of the event, and the food.

I communicated that to Kerry, and the food was prepared such that my sister, at the end of the night, simply said, "this was the only meal I had that I didn't have to ask any questions"!
