I was contacted by someone from Johnny Burke Catering who was professional and apologetic about my experience. She resolved the issue quickly, I'm very appreciative and impressed. read more

Danielle from Johnny Burke Catering was awesome to work with...right from our 1st email exchange! Johnny Burke was highly recommended to us. Danielle was quick to provide menu suggestions, was super responsive and had great follow-up, we could not have asked for more. While we did not move forward with Johnny Burke Catering (our group decided on something totally different), I would 100% go back to them when we are looking for catering for future events. Thank you for a wonderful experience! read more

For a very special time in our life and necessary proper thank you dinner, Mr Burkes catering services exceeded all expectations. I had visited Johnny's takeaway for my wife's birthday last year and everything that I got was delicious and affordable. This made me want to try the catering option for a family meal. We got a custom menu of delicious Italian style food. I'm not kidding when I say this, everything on the menu was good. The garlic knots were amazing and surprising for me as this was one of my favorites and I'm not usually a huge fan. Focaccia bread with pesto was also a big crowd favorite. The price was affordable and the portions were generous. I actually have been eating leftover veggie lasagna, which was also a huge favorite for several meals after the fact. Really a great value and highly recommend it to anyone who needs a special meal or even just something that's a change of pace. Better value than take out from a restaurant, and I would say after several experiences, better quality. read more

They catered my daughter's wedding on a boat and the food was really bad. All of the steaks for the most part were undercooked most plates went back with only half of the steak eaten if that. Fish was really dry and chicken had no flavor. They bride and groom were told that they could create their own menu but he didn't provide the sides or sauces that they requested. Just a few examples. The fish was supposed to have rice pilaf and a white wine and orange zest pomegrante demi and there was no sauce and it was served with plain dry white rice. If he couldn't provide these things or prepare them on a boat we should have been notified in advance. We had a contact spelling out the menu. The wedding cake was dry. However the brownies and cookies were pretty good. There was not salt and pepper for the tables. I was quite upset after the dinner. Would hate to see someone else go thru this on such a special day. read more

I hired the team at Johnny Burke's catering to host a bridal shower for my god-daughter. The food and team were amazing. The food was delicious, the presentation beautiful and the staff was incredible. In the middle of the event, which was outdoors, it began to rain and they quickly moved all the food under the tent and brought all the gifts inside so they would not get damaged. Then they helped move the balance of the food inside and set up the deserts and once again helped moved all the gifts (we had over 40 guests) into the living room. They work so quickly and efficiently and were so helpful and friendly. I am so grateful to Chef Susan and her team for all they did to make this event so special. Joan Gallagher read more

Johnny and his staff couldn't be nicer and more accommodating. He catered 2 parties at my home quite a while ago and friends are still asking me for Johnny's name and phone no. to call for their party. His food is outstanding. read more

I contacted this business to help with catering for a small event I was hosting this weekend. I was given a link to order but after I placed the order, my order was cancelled a few hours later. I was notified by email. I called and was not able to get through to anyone. I placed another order online only to be cancelled again. I called, left messages - again no response. I placed the order a third time online and again it went through, only to receive email notification that I was cancelled a third time the following morning! I messaged the business again and was finally told they can't fulfill my order because they received too many orders already. My order has only 4 items! My event is in 3 days and I am beyond disappointed and annoyed with them. read more

Johnny ALWAYS does a great job. He is a dream to work with...always accommodating, prompt, cordial and most importantly delivers HIGH quality food. We have been working with Johnny the past few years delivering fabulous corporate catered lunches and cocktail parties, and we are lucky to have him as a trusted partner! read more

WOW---talk about customized care! We had a 90th bday party for my mom and JBC suggested we make a menu of all her favorite foods--prepared the way she likes them! And some required out of the box thinking to acquire! I could not have been happier. The staff was both omnipresent and invisible during the event itself. And the food was absolutely delicious. read more

Johnny's is our go-to caterer for lunch meetings. Great food. The leftovers get quickly devoured by hungry sales people and engineers as soon as we bring it into the kitchen. They easily handle the vegetarian and gluten-free eaters on our team without making it boring for the rest of us. read more

Delicious, fresh, fast, and easy. What more do you need from a takeaway food establishment? Johnny and his team do a great job preparing ready to go meals you can stack up on for the week, as well as daily specials that tickle your fancy. My favorites are Wednesday wings and the Friday fried chicken for daily specials. For ready to go options, I'm a big fan of the soba noodles with shrimp and the Mac and cheese . Truth be told I like all of it. Single dudes like me will save time, given it takes 15 min to heat most ready to go options, and money. as there are no leftover ingredients one typically tosses when cooking for one. Check them out. read more

Having never planned a small catered dinner party (14 people), I was not sure what to expect. What I was sure of was that I wanted excellent food and excellent service. Johnny Burke did not disappoint. Everything was expertly prepared and delicious from the appetizers to the desserts and everything in between - all made from scratch. In addition, Johnny was incredibly cordial, helpful, and interactive with my guests without being intrusive. Everyone found him both skilled and delightful, answering any questions they had. He exceeded my expectations tenfold and I would not hesitate for a second to call upon him again. I highly recommend Johnny Burke's Catering without reservation. read more

We hired Johnny and his team for our wedding reception. They are the epitome of professional, while still being down to earth and so much fun :) We had to change our reception venue, like many people, due to COVID. We ended up having a smaller reception in my parents' backyard and Johnny was there every step of the way. He created a custom menu for us, based on our heritage and love of travel. After speaking with some other caterers (with the typical chicken/beef/fish options), I was surprised to find that I was actually super excited about our menu this time!! A lot of people told us that we would be stressed/overwhelmed on our wedding day and that the whole day would become a blur, but that didn't happen for us at all. We felt present and cared for during the entire day, and much of that was due to Johnny and his staff. He checked in on us every so often during the night, making sure that we were happy and seeing if we needed anything. Plus, the food was delicious!! Thank you so much Johnny, we wouldn't have chosen anyone else. In fact, we had such a great experience that Johnny is going to be catering my sister's wedding in a few months as well! read more

Everything item I have tried from takeout case has been delicious! I ordered turkey gravy and cranberry sauce for Thanksgiving and they were outstanding! Someone items are. A little pricey. read more

We hired Johnny Burke for our boat micro wedding. The boat did not have a kitchen, but somehow Johnny and his team delivered a dream meal that was out of this world. From individual cheese & cracker plates for guests to grab and go as they pleased, chips and guac served in individual cups, flatbreads and lobster rolls passed around... to a fresh summer salad that was larger than most salads that are served at any wedding I've been to... to tender steak that you could cut with a butter knife that melted in your mouth, served with mashed potatoes and asparagus. Johnny and I developed the custom menu to correlate with my husband and I'd favorite foods. The sky was the limit and he was willing to do anything. 10 stars for Johnny Burke Catering! read more

Couldn't be happier to have chosen Johnny Burke Catering for two recent events! We had an absolutely wonderful team for both events.  Every member of the team was very personable and provided excellent service.  Not only were they seasoned professionals, but they clearly really enjoy what they are doing. Our guests had such an amazing time and raved about the food and service! read more

Jonny Burke Catering was not only quick to respond, but the tasting was fantastic. Unfortunately, with COVID the event needed to be rescheduled. I called to request changes, and was pleasantly surprised at how graciously my dilemma was handled. Fast forward to when the event was able to occur.....the food exceeded expectations, the level of professionalism was unmatched, and realizing I did not have to worry about a thing was honestly priceless!! If you want fantastic quality food AND a company that is willing to work for you, call them. read more

Johnny organized an amazing raw bar for my rehearsal dinner on the beach down in Scituate, MA. The seafood was so fresh and beautifully displayed - everyone loved it!! Johnny was a pleasure to work with. He is very dependable and will do everything in his power to make your event memorable. read more

Great place to grab a quick bite on the go. They have freshly prepared items in the case that can be easily reheated for later and a nice selection of items (hot sandwiches, etc) to be prepared while you wait. Great staff, very friendly and always happy to answer questions. Nice West Roxbury addition. read more

We get Johnny's Takeaway at least once a week. Each meal has been delicious. We took advantage of the Thanksgiving menu and it was so good that I'd be fine with never cooking Thanksgiving again! Some favorites include: fried chicken, mac & cheese, butternut squash soup, turkey burgers Past favorites: salmon with cauliflower couscous (I didn't tell my husband it was cauliflower and he ate it all!), farro arugula salad, chicken enchiladas I love that you can order online and set your pick up time so you are guaranteed to get what you want. A word to the wise, order early on Fridays so they don't run out of fried chicken. read more

I'm so happy that we were recommended to work with Johnny and his team for our small wedding, which was held aboard the Valiant in Boston Harbor. Johnny was so friendly, quick to respond, helpful and flexible throughout our planning process, and was able to come up with a great plan in a *very* short amount of time! He helped us make a plan that worked with our budget and was adaptable and easy-going around a few last-minute changes. He accommodated our guests with dietary restrictions, too. The food was AMAZING, every bite, and the servers on his team were so kind and helpful. They made our wedding dinner absolutely perfect and memorable. Thank you, Johnny & team! read more

If there were 10 stars, Johnny would receive them from me!! We hosted a family birthday party for about 45 people and could not have been happier. The food was not only creative and delicious, but beautifully presented...from the appetizers to the dinner to the dessert! Johnny and his team's pacing of the evening was perfection. The staff was friendly, more than accommodating, and attended to every guest from children to senior citizens. I have been getting rave reviews about him from my guests. I can not say enough good things about Johnny Burke Catering. I recommend him without any reservation at all and hope to use him again!! read more

The best!!!! We often go here and pick up a fridge-full of food for dinners and lunches which makes our work week SO much easier. Everything is delicious and healthy- a far cry from most quick meal options. read more

Delicious, fresh food and a kind and generous owner who gives back to the community, especially local schools.

Johnny created an amazing menu for my husband's birthday party! The food was delicious, creative and beautifully presented! My guests were all extremely complementary of the food and wanted his contact. Will definitely work with him again and refer to friends. read more
