HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! My husband and I booked Chef's Catering…read morefor our June 2022 destination wedding, with a total number of 75 wedding guests who attended. The compliments we got for the food and beautiful set-up of the staff was across the board great... hot food, cold salads, plenty of food to go around! We paid for our venders to all jump in line at the Buffett, as the company does not feed venders for free. Unfortunately covid struck a couple of our guests, so the count did go down from 90 to 75, because the guests who got sick did not come. As a compromise, Chef's Catering packed up some food in to-go boxes we provided, so my husband and I were set on meals for two extra days. Between the chicken and beef tips, to the grits and Mac&Cheese, the Waldorf salad and Caesar salad, to the complimentary bread/butter... everything was outstandingly delicious! We did upgrade to paying extra for crystal plating and metal silverware... I highly recommend you do too! We skipped the tasting and found we did not regret it, as the Buffett choices of food we selected were perfection and our guests went back for seconds, and even thirds!!

We hired Chef's Catering for half the week, and Great Smoky Mountain catering for the other half of our week. Chef's Catering was awful.....the food was NOT good, the servers weren't friendly and the food was expensive! The difference between the 2 caterers was night and day! Our entire group commented on this by the end of the week. I would NOT recommend Chef's Catering to anyone and I know our corporation will not use them again in the future. We much prefer Great Smoky Mountain Catering - they were friendly, had better prices and the food was much better quality, presentation and flavor!

The first day he did not show up but instead sent his inexperienced wife & daughter who gave us serving utensils that were laying on the back seat. The food was disgusting. The meat was burnt on the outside and raw on the inside. The pans of food were not full and was not enough to feed everyone. The wife & daughter left to get dessert and did not return that day or the next. So no food for the second day for a family of over 100 people. I would caution everyone to avoid this place at all costs if you value your health & hard earned money.

I received a quote from Bradford's on 2/23/21 for my son's rehearsal dinner this November. The…read moretotal quote was $3129.28, which included an up-charge of $9 per person for "two 4 Oz beef tenderloin medallions". On September 24th I received an email stating that due to recent increases in beef the up-charge would now be $66 PER PERSON-a 633% increase and a total increase of 52% in the cost of the dinner. This was 6 weeks before the wedding and left me no options for finding another caterer. After emailing back and forth they came down to an additional $52.09 per person up-charge for a total cost of $4279.74. They have a little blurb and prices are subject to change and they will try to offer suggestions for meal options in the contract, but I would have never thought they would increase by that much! The option they offered was sirloin, but that was not what we signed up for or wanted. They showed up on time and the servers did a great job. The food tasted good, but the 2-4 Oz medallions looked like the picture I am attaching (the quality is not good because my husband didn't want the flash on to draw attention to the fact I was taking a picture of his tiny serving). That is my husband's actual serving of his ONE medallion that cost us $84. It was cooked to perfection and tasted good, but it was literally 2 bites of beef! Thank goodness we only had 39 people that night...I can't imagine if they had done what they did to me to an actual wedding with over 100 people. I understand COVID has caused increases and would have better understood being charged maybe 10-15% more on the overall cost to make up for that, but this was absurd. I truly could not recommend this company due to this, which is sad because the taste and service was good.

We have been here before and the service, food and beverages were great. However, this time it was as no one really cared about the dining experience except our server. We good hear staff complaining loudly and the bartender did not seem to be happy that particular night. If their unhappiness has resulted in over pouring, I may not have noticed other things. The spinach artichoke dip was room temperature and it was just a huge lump of cheese with spinach sautéed in it. Our dinners arrived and they too were cold. The server was quick to take the food back, but when it came back, it appeared to be microwaved rather than "remade". I could hear other customers around us making the same comments that this restaurant "wasn't like this the last time". Which is sad. I truly hope they are just in a funk and bounce back because it was a fond memory for us the last time.
