They did a great box lunch for 100 people on short notice. Friendly and helpful. Food was good.

We hired LFA Catering LLC for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding, and unfortunately, the experience was extremely disappointing. Rehearsal Dinner The first signs of trouble appeared here. Despite our wedding planner reaching out hours before the event, Jason (the owner) never responded. He was responsible for providing tables and chairs for 40 guests but brought enough for less than a third. While the food was acceptable, it did not match the quality we experienced during our tasting. Wedding Day Our wedding had about 135 guests; per the contract, the catering team was supposed to arrive 3 hours early to assist with setup, food prep, and drinks. Instead, most staff and food arrived late and during the ceremony. Jason was not on-site and could not be reached until well after the event began. The bartenders arrived on time but with no direction and without mixers (also part of the contract), forcing our planner to purchase them out of pocket. Luckily we provided the alcohol so we at least had beer and wine. Because of their late arrival and lack of organization, we had to delay happy hour, dinner, and the reception. When food was finally served, many agreed-upon dishes were missing, including gluten-free options for guests with dietary restrictions. Portions were inconsistent, and they ultimately ran out of food, leaving 20+ guests--including our band and planner--without dinner. Jason did not arrive until after 8 PM (seven hours late) and offered no apology or solution to running out of food. After the Event The team was contracted to handle cleanup, breakdown and trash removal, but this was minimally worked on. Our planner stayed until midnight to clean what she could, after Jason and his staff had left. The next day, my wife, several guests and I spent the whole morning finishing what Jason hadn't done. Afterwards, while my wife and I are trying to enjoy our honeymoon and recover from the disaster he created with our wedding, he harassed my wife about getting all of the items he had left at the venue (we had to take them and store them in our trailer so we didn't get charged by the venue). He didn't have the decency to communicate during the wedding or make efforts to correct his mistakes, but he sure could call and text us non-stop when it was impacting his pocket book. You might wonder if there were warning signs. Honestly, there weren't--until the rehearsal dinner. Leading up to the wedding, Jason was responsive and helpful. He provided a wonderful tasting, he even met us a couple months in advance to walk venue and discuss our needs and coordinate with our wedding planner. He even worked with us to design a menu that accommodated multiple dietary restrictions. He seemed professional and committed. However, on the day of, he was overcommitted and underperformed. The food quality was nowhere near what we had at the tasting. It seemed either Jason didn't prepare the food himself (the head chef onsite was not Jason) or he cannot scale his recipes. Most dishes were bland, poorly cooked, or inedible. Jason may be a fine chef, but he is not a caterer. Something though that really defines who Jason and LFA Catering is, not once, to this day have we received an apology for everything that happened. In fact, during any conversation, with us or anyone else involved, he has only made excuses and tried to defend his actions saying he did the best he could. I'm sorry, but if that's the attitude you plan to have, I could not in good conscious recommend him to anyone for any catering needs. After reading another review where he no called and no showed, I feel lucky we at least received some food and services. I truly feel for those people. I hope whoever has spent the time to read this and their review, learn from our mistakes and stay as far away as possible from this company. read more

LFA knows how to cook, no question there. Visit Jason's truck and you will be happy. I am certain Jason will always prepare delicious food. Just don't ask him to cater an event. He might not show, or call. I'm sure he has successfully catered many events, but the only one that I can comment on is the one we asked him to do for our 100+ person event for family and friends. We had many emails and calls before the event. He did a tasting for us well in advance of the event. We paid the bill in full before the event. LFA no-showed us on the day of the event. We called and left voicemail but could not reach him and did not get a return call until it was way too late. He offered to come 3 hours after the agreed upon time. The event was almost over. Can you imagine the effort to plan for and put on a 100+ event for family and friends and the feeling to get stiffed like that? Can LFA cook great food? Yes. You tell me if you would take a chance on LFA to cater your event. Call Jason and let him tell you why he no-showed us and did not have the courtesy to call us when he knew he was going to be late for an event that we paid in full, in advance. We are still waiting for a refund. read more

We were at a large private event on Saturday 10/18/25. 130 people were expecting dinner and they did not show until the event was over. How do you rate a company that provided nothing. Spend your money somewhere else. The real rating is a NEGATIVE 5 read more

Other event on 10/18 (double booked and double failed apparently). They showed up 3 hours late (mid wedding ceremony) without a clue of what they were doing or many of the things they needed, and ran out of food. They were so late serving dinner that we had very little time with the $$$$ band we had scheduled to play. Later the bar staff panhandled our guests at the bar for tips (which we were providing), took no responsibility for not having the mixers, and then told guests that we were out of alcohol (the items we provided) and found unopened cases while cleaning up (which they didn't do) the next morning. Then was harassed by the owner while on our honeymoon because they left a bar (in addition to dirty glassware and a truck load of full trash bags that they were contracted to remove) and needed the bar back. Never got an apology, but was told "we did our best". If this is their best they will be out of business soon. read more

Great charming business. The owner is personable and the menu has tons of variety. Waynesboro needs more food trucks and this is a great start read more

They were a no show at our outdoor event. Didn't even call to tell us that they weren't coming. Wanted to come later "to make things right" and then arrived 15 minutes before the event ended. By that time everyone was ready to leave. Completely irresponsible company. Zero rating from us.! read more

I ordered the brisket but it wasn't ready so they called me and asked me if I wanted something else. I ordered the barbecue pork but asked if I could get it without a bun and the owner kindly said he'd load me up. I also ordered the potato salad and the green beans and everything was delicious. I'll definitely order from read more

LFA Catering provided my mother's memorial service dinner at the Cunningham United Methodist Church's fellowship hall in Palmyra, VA. The food was delicious and plentiful. The service was top notch. Jason went out of his way to ensure the setup for the buffet and other meal details were understood so the guests would have an enjoyable experience. He was very flexible and prompt supplying quotes based on changing circumstances. I highly recommend LFA Catering for your catering needs! read more
