We hired this company to cater my daughter's bat mitzvah and the whole experience was so positive. We wanted to do something a little different and unique and more low-key and this was such a fun option. Our guests loved having options other than traditional sit-down and buffet menus and the food was fantastic (people are still talking about their turkey burgers!!). Dawn and Rachel were so great to work with - from the moment I called them, through planning the menu (they are really creative too and helped me shape it to match our event theme), through contracting, working with the venue to ensure we were compliant with their rules and regulations with outside caterers, and even accommodating last-minute changes. They provide pretty much everything too, so we didn't even have to rent/buy plates, napkins, utensils, etc. It was all part of the package. And their pricing is very reasonable. I can't believe how much we got for the amount we paid. Their range of options is also incredible. We didn't even begin to scratch the surface of what else we could have ordered. My only negative comment is that we had so many choices at the event, I didn't get to try everything!!! I can't recommend this company enough. We will definitely be calling them again in a few years when it's my other daughter's turn to become a bat mitzvah. read more

Easy to work with, helpful, friendly, on time, and the food was great!! Would highly recommend!

Hired them for my daughter's 2nd birthday party last August. We got 4 carts in total and everyone loved it. The set up was really cute, food was delicious, all of the staff was very friendly and the company had overall great communication. They ended up being a little late for set up but they called and explained that they would be ready to go by the time the party started - which they were. I would definitely recommend the company! read more

3 stars for great communication,last min reservation was accommodated and the personnel was nice and easy to talk too. I got 2 different carts for 4 hours which is their set up 2.5 hours of serving meaning you go to the cart and they make the taco for you and break down. 1700 us to serve 30 people.I thought it was pricey but was my first time hiring a taco stand so I went with the most expensive one. Churros was hard and just the shell not even the caramel filling for that price. I would not contract them again.sometimes the most expensive ones is not always the best ones. read more

Did a great job for my 40th birthday! They got the carts into my hilly backyard. The food and service were great! Our friends loved it.

Used them for my son's 7th bday and they even had Kosher options! Fantastic. Food was delish. easy to book with them. No issues whatsoever. Everything was delivered as promised! read more

Let's Have A Cart Party - The set up! - Caterers Near Me

Recently planned a last minute party for a celeb client and they were quick to make it possible! 100% recommend them and would love to have them at every party. The hand dipped ice cream with sprinkles is the absolute best ever!!!! We ordered popcorn, churros, hand dipped ice cream, snow cones, cotton candy, corn dogs, and sliders. Kids and kids at heart loved it all! Professional service! Load in and load out was great! Only downer is that the grass burned where the snow cones were so I recommend placing the snow cone station on concrete not grass. read more

I wanted to have something different than the typical stressful birthday dinner at a restaurant. This year I decided to hire Let's Have a Cart Party for my carnival themed backyard BBQ and I'm am more than glad I did! This company has an extensive menu to choose from. There are veggie burgers too! I was very impressed with the staff. They were prompt, friendly, and professional. I thought the carts were just going to be something cute with food that was just ok, believe it or not, I thought the burgers were great and if you know me at all you know I enjoy a good burger. Here is what I ordered: One cart with pretzels and churros One cart with burgers, hot dogs, and veggie burgers One cart with fries and onion rings I will defiantly use this company again! read more

I hired LHACP for my son's vintage carnival themed 5th birthday party. First things first - working with Rachel and Dawn was great! They helped me come up with a perfect menu for the party and answered all of my questions. Communications all throughout the planning process was great as well. I had five carts (popcorn, bbq, fries, margarita, and funnel cakes). The menu consisted of hot dogs, sliders, chicken skewers, chicken nuggets, corn on the cob, fries, onion rings, lemonade, sno cones, margaritas, popcorn and funnel cakes. On the day of the event, they arrived on time and setup promptly. All of my guests were amazed and truly enjoyed all of the food, treats, and drinks. The carts totally complemented my theme. All of the servers were absolutely awesome, professional, and just plain nice... all of them! I am so happy I went with LHACP. I was able to enjoy the party with my son and guests. I got so many rave reviews. I'm thinking of planning another event so I can use them again. read more

Really unimpressed. The carts were dirty and beaten up. The food was mediocre at best...The owner manager so rude and to top it all off... we paid for a TON of food (and I mean a TON of food... hamburgers hot dogs and 80+ churros) that they left the party with... did not leave the leftovers that were paid for. Never have I had a worse catering company. Pretty sure not giving food that was paid for (and written in the contract is illegal in fact.......) find a different company there are so many other amazing caterers this isn't one of them. read more

I've used this company now a few times. I would definitely recommend them for anyone who likes to throw a good party and needs a fun food solution for a birthday or event. They have a wide variety of food and drink carts including desserts as well. We had them at our son's paintball party and it was a huge success. Pizza and hand-dipped ice-cream for the win!! Also, the employees were extremely professional, they worked clean and were very kind. Would definitely hire again!! read more

In all our years of DJing/Karaoke we have never had a Hamburger Cart at one of our parties. Let me tell Let's Have A Cart Pary was the BEST CATERED FOOD we've ever had...The staff was extremely fun and outgoing and did I mention the FOOD was OUTRAGEOUSLY GOOD. As soon as the party was done eating they pulled out a Fesh & Hot Churro Machine...The event was amazing even better with amazing service and FOOD. I hope we do more shows with Let's Have A Cart Party. Tony read more

Firs things first, thank you to the owners and entire team who worked our event at LMU! They were amazing and so great and I think the world of them! We had to make an entire new plan last minute due to recent fires, and relocated our event to campus. We called them at 9a, confirmed the menu at 2p, they were here at 4p cooking, with dinner ready at 5p. It was such a blessing and so amazing! The set up was incredible, the food was delicious, and the students loved it! My favorite was the dipped ice cream and banana cart and the tator tots - fabulous! The entire team and service is fabulous, and I highly recommend! read more

We had an event at our dealership and decided to give Let's Have a Cart Party a try. We have no regrets! Gavin showed up on time and was friendly and cooperative. The food was great. Overall we're very satisfied and would use them again! read more

Hired Lets Have a Cart Party for my sons rockstar 1st birthday party. My party planner set everything up and they were great to work with and flexible when I needed things adjusted due to numbers. Day of party everyone was great except for the waitress who was serving the fresh fruit and veggies. She had the attitude of wanting to ANYWHERE except for serving at my sons 1st birthday party. All in all they were really fantastic and you can check out images here : http://shootsandgiggles.com/events/?p=480 read more

These ladies were wonderful dealing with me trying to make a small backyard birthday party into a special event by having a fry cart with all of my kid's favorite foods (chicken nuggets, tater tots, and french fries) as a special treat. I was nervous to reach out to them because on their website it shows them catering big parties and I didn't think they would be interested in doing something so small, but they were wonderful from start to finish. Despite me not being a big ticket client, they responded to every message quickly and were very patient explaining every step of the process. The cart attendant arrived early on party day and was lovely. Would happily use this service again! read more

This team was professional, friendly and flexible. They were punctual with smiles on their face. Contact check in about when to get the food started to ensure all of our guests were happy. Highly recommend. read more

Loved it was perfect for my sons 5th carnival themed birthday party!! Will love to order again from them read more

Hired them for a party this past weekend and couldnt have been more happy. Originally I figured I would get the novelty of the carts with average food. But it turned out the food was really good especially the fish tacos were a huge hit. The carts added a great novetly to the party. But it additon to those things the staff that came was very professional and really nice and just made the event even better. I would definitely use them again. read more

I used this company for my big Christmas Eve party and all my guests are still raving about the fun evening! They even had a roasted chestnut cart! The food was delicious, the service amazing and the ease made it possible for me to enjoy my own party!! We were so happy we used them again for our New Year's Eve party. We are now planning our Valentines party and Cinco de Mayo. Their menus are scrumptious and every experience is a pleasure!! I recommend this company highly and can't wait for my next party!!! read more

I had the displeasure of working with this company last night. I coordinated the wedding of a family friend, and the bride and bride's father in particular wanted fresh chocolate chip cookies at the reception. They hired this company to provide them. The large, circus-style cart, which is well suited to birthday parties or other casual and fun events, was completely out of place. The servers arrived, looking rather disheveled, and immediately helped themselves to the dinner buffet (without asking), ahead of multiple guests who had not yet been released from their tables. The cookies were mediocre at best. Near the end of the night they packed everything up, including over 100 leftover cookies which had been paid for in advance. At that point they wheeled the cart out through the crowd of guests, because if they had stayed past 10:30 they would have charged for another day of cart rental. And the finishing touch to the only rough spot on this beautiful day, was the head server turning to my assistant after their van was packed and asking where their SUGGESTED GRATUITY was.... Update: About a week after the wedding, I was informed by the bride's mother that she had spoken with the owner. The owner was apparently appalled at the service we received and offered a partial refund and a promise to not hire those servers again. read more

I surprised my husband by having a churro and cotton candy cart at the cocktail hour of our wedding reception. They were a total hit, and everybody said how it was a fun touch. I have some really cute pictures of my grandma eating cotton candy with my little sister. The churros were just the right consistency (I can't stand mushy churros). The only downside is that I paid for 2 hours (2:30-4:30). When we had our grand entrance at 4:00, they packed up and left. Most of the people had migrated to the reception area by then, so I understand them assuming it was over... but I still paid for another half hour, and I wanted to take some pictures posing with the carts. read more

Delicious food, great staff, fun, fun, fun!!! Hired "Let's Have A Cart Party" for my office party.. Best BBQ chicken pizza, tacos, sweet potato fries!! Hand dipped ice cream bars, frozen bananas and ice blended smoothies and coffees... something for everyone, easy and fun for all! Thank you guys. Can't wait until our picnic!! read more

I just loved this vendor! Their list and prices were super simple and clear to understand. We used them for the hotdog cart for my sons baseball theme birthday party and everything was perfect. Timely, efficient and very professional. Will use them again if I get the chance for sure! read more

The combination of food and service were superb. The phone staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The crew on site was very professional and did a wonderful and clean job. The carts really made the carnival theme for our event and the food was fresh and perfect. Truly a hit! We've attended many events with other vendors and Let's Have a Cart Party is definitely ahead of it all on all levels. Thank you for a wonderful experience and we look forward to the next one. Ellie H. Calabasas, Ca. read more

I used Let's Have A Cart Party for my son's first birthday party this past Sunday. The carts were such a hit! I had three carts- a Nacho Supreme cart, Mexican fruit cart, and Cotton Candy cart and everyone loved it! They used high quality fresh ingredients and the servers were very nice as well. Thanks so much!! read more

I live on the east coast but went to bar mitzvah about 15 years ago in LA catered by this business. And I still remember it as being the most wonderfully creative event I've ever been to...and I've been to plenty. The staff was professional, everything was spotlessly clean and gleaming, the food was delicious and prepared to perfection. All these years later and I still no other event I've been to holds a candle to what I experienced all those years ago. Give them a call, you'll be glad you did! read more

I have nothing but great things to say about Let's Have a Cart Party! When our boss decided to throw a margarita cart party with 4 HOUR NOTICE to prep...Let's Have a Cart Party was a life-saver. Rachel in the office was quick, professional and kind. She was super helpful and made the entire process a breeze. The cart attendants were great & served the margaritas quickly and professionally. Our margarita party was a huge success & we will definitely book another event with Let's Have a Cart Party. read more

The team they had serve all the goodies was incredibly professional and kind. The drinks and food were delicious. I had this for a corporate party and every person said they enjoyed it. I haven't ever had that type of response for our corporate holiday events. I highly recommend Let's Have A Cart Party if it's in your budget! read more

We used them for my daughters first birthday , burgers and hot dogs cart. Everything was perfect and they were so friendly! And my veggie friends said it was the best veggie burger they've tasted :) read more

Our original fruit cart for our company picnic cancelled one week before our event. Dawn and her crew stepped up and took great care of us. Their service was on time, professional and really helped make our first annual company picnic a great success. The fruit was fresh and really tasty. Mel, our server, was super friendly and provided great service. I could not have asked for anything more. I would highly recommend this company to anyone - they came through for us big time. Without hesitation I would use this company again. read more

Dawn and Rachel are super amazing! For our party, we turned a movie theater into a catered event. On the day of, we had chicken, fish, steak, and veggie tacos; we had quesadillas and salad and the best salsa too! Amy and her team served our guests with excellence. I would refer this company to anyone looking for easy breezy when it comes to party planning. The execution is flawless and the options are endless. Save yourself time and energy; cart party is the way to go. Your guests will be happy and they take all the drama out of the catering side of things!!! Thank you to Dawn and Rachel and we look forward to working with you again :) read more

I hired Let's Have A Cart Party for my Carnival themed wedding, and I could not have had a better experience!!!! First of all, Rachel and Dawn were so incredible during the planning process, constantly communicating with us, and helping us figure out exactly what we needed to ensure that everything would be perfect! They were so kind and accommodating and absolutely wonderful!!! At the actual event, their carts looked better than I ever could have imagined, and fit my theme so perfectly! In terms of the food, I was so busy that I (very unfortunately) never got a chance to eat, but all of my guests told me that it was the best food that they have ever had at a wedding!!! I received so many texts from friends saying that they are still dreaming of the chicken and waffle cart, and the funnel cakes!!! The light up cotton candy was a smashing success, and I heard rave reviews about the hamburgers, hot dogs, tacos, and sausages! People also really enjoyed making their own Sundaes at the Sundae cart, drinking root beer floats, and snacking on the popcorn and pretzels! The craziest part is that they were able to make it all Kosher for our religious wedding, which is completely mind blowing since there are not usually a lot of options when it comes to that! A huge thanks to Omar, the kitchen manager, who ensured that everything went flawlessly at the event!!! We were just absolutely blown away by this company and I will DEFINITELY be using them again for future events!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! read more

Everything about Let's Have a Cart Party was fabulous!! THEY WERE AMAZING. I hired them cold turkey, found them on the internet and had not a clue about them. But wow, did I get lucky. We had a party for my husband's 75 birthday, on our tennis court at 3 in the afternoon. Most of the guests were in their 70's, so this was no kids party. We thought we had to serve something, so burgers & sausage & hot dogs seemed good afternoon snacks. They showed up promptly, on time. They set up efficiently. The BBQ & burgers were cooking as guests arrived. Well, the food was delicious! The guests ate everything, plates piled up high, with so many compliments about the high quality & tastiness of the food. We went into overages and had no left-overs! That's amazing testimony to how good everything was!!! The corn on the cob was roasted, not served in soggy hot water! The burgers, sausage & hot dogs were grilled as ordered. The French Fries & onion rings were delish! The shakes were a big hit! When their contract time was over, they left as the band kept playing & the party continued. They snuck off unnoticed, as it should have been!!! I can't say enough good things. The servers were pleasant, smiling, accommodated the guests orders. I didn't hear a single guest complain, and 70 years olds are not an easy crowd to please!!! The carts themselves were adorable. Let's Have a Cart Party made our event! THANK YOU Rachel & Dawn !!!! read more

Your servers and carts made a great impression on everyone who attended our celebration. Your servers were very professional, friendly and polite. The hot dogs and ice cream sundaes were a real hit, everyone said everything was delicious. No doubt we will call you again and will highly recommend you to others. read more

I used this company a few years ago...but NEVER again! The owner/manager was extremely rude and not accommodating at all. We ordered food for a certain number of people and expected they would provide it. However, they were very slow cooking things up, they did not bring enough people to man all of the carts, and people had to wait a LONG TIME to get their burgers, etc. When I asked them to just cook up a lot of burgers/hot dogs, the owner refused, saying he didn't want to cook them if he wasn't sure they would be eaten...that he would only cook one when it was ordered by my guest. I was furious! I expect my guests to be served when they're hungry...not have to wait 10 minutes for their hamburger patty to cook. Then, when it was over, he refused to leave the leftover food that I had ordered, and paid for! I have had many parties catered at my house by many companies, and I have NEVER had them refuse to leave the leftover food. Most of the time they ask me "How would you like us to box up the extra food for you?" He said he couldn't leave the food because it was uncooked and his insurance company wouldn't let him leave uncooked foot at a party...so I said "Fine, cook everything!" He refused!!! Keep in mind that I PAID FOR THIS FOOD!!! He would not give me the food that I had bought! I have never had another catering company say this. I asked him for the name of the insurance company so I could talk to them and clarify this, but he would not give it to me. I worked in food service for many years and this is the first and only time I've heard of this. Every other catering company I've ever dealt with has always left the extra food at the house...because we paid for it!!! My suspicion is that he takes the uncooked food back to his kitchen and re-sells it, but, of course, I don't have any way of knowing. I will NOT use this company again. The owners/mangers replied to this review wondering why I posted a negative review several years after my event, and also wanting me to call them to discuss my concerns . We did call them, several times immediately after our party...they did not address our concerns at all...they basically told us to shove it (although they did not use those words). I did not post right after my party because I did not belong to Yelp when it was held (I don't even know if Yelp existed yet) so I couldn't let others know about my experience with this company. But I'm posting now because my kids were recently at an event where this company was serving food, and I was very dissatisfied with their service to the guests. This recent experience demonstrated to me that this company has not changed their ways so I thought I would share my experience and, hopefully, save someone else some aggravation. read more

I co-hosted a father/daughter dance for our local elementary school last week and utilized this firm's services. Their popcorn, snow cone and cotton candy carts were the perfect accompaniment to the evening. I was very pleased with the taste of their products and friendly staff who handled the orders.
