Terrible uncourteous service. We had them cater our parents 50th anniversary party today. They…read morearrived almost two hours late with two young boys on their staff. They were required by the venue to set up the tables and chairs and the venue had to do it for us. They came with no table clothes, not enough dining wear and didn't even have napkins. They used folded up industrial paper towels for napkins. They served hors 'doeuvres without plates. Every step of the way they were delayed in service. They had an attitude when asked for things. They didn't clear a single plate from a table. We had to serve cake ourselves. They overlooked our color choices for plates and napkins. And the food quality was mediocre, with stale crackers and bread. If there wasn't an 18% gratuity included in the contract they would have received zero. If we could get a refund we would. Look elsewhere. This company should not be catering formal events.

A Family Affair Catering provided exceptional service for my friend's 75th birthday celebration,…read morewhich I hosted for 105 guests. The food was absolutely delicious, with a wide variety of flavorful options that truly pleased the crowd. The presentation and overall setup were beautiful and added an elegant touch to the event. Chef Darryl was professional, organized, and a pleasure to work with throughout the entire process. The pricing was very reasonable, and he even offered a wonderful tasting prior to signing the contract, which gave us great confidence in our decision. I highly recommend A Family Affair Catering for any special occasion.

To consider this a legitimate "business" is laughable, just like their food. Arrived over an hour…read morelate to an event and instead of being apologetic, had an attitude. Dinner was for 25 + people and there was barely enough food for 12. Not that this mattered, as EVERYTHING was inedible and there were no plates, cutlery or napkins provided. I take that back, the store brought $2.00 (price still on) cornbread and $16.00 cake were the ONLY items edible. The Mac and Cheese was dry and bland. I will give them credit for it being both overcooked and undercooked all in the same batch. I'm still trying to make sense of that! The only adjective that even remotely describes this Mac and Cheese is "disrespectful". Like, seriously, the disrespect was 10/10. The chicken was undercooked and bland. How do you make jerk chicken bland and soggy? I'm actually curious. The "blackened" salmon was overcooked yet not blackened, creating another "make it make sense" moment. I immediately spat out the greens. They were undercooked, not under-seasoned but literally "not seasoned". Wait, I take that back too, if you count the dirt and grit as seasoning. They should be ashamed of themselves for ripping people off. Pictures don't lie. The fact that they were sent pictures and still stood behind their product tells you all you need to know. Please, please, PLEASE do not let these people ruin your event and more importantly your special moments and memories. There are so many other respectable and legitimate Black-owned catering companies i.e. Ohhs and Ahhs, Henry's, Hitching Post.

Usually we have Sardi's, which is perfectly fine, but tonight's choice was most def an upgrade. The salmon patties, rice pilaf, and dinner rolls were all DELISH. I wasn't a fan of the kale but that's not a deal breaker ... I still declare #TwoThumbsUp and would absolutely order the rice, salmon patties and dinner rolls for a future event of my own. The flavor of the rice and salmon; the garlic butter spread on the rolls; the unified shape of the salmon patties; the fluffiness of the rice ... all noteworthy. The salmon may have need a bit more binder because they were a little soggy and broke apart too easily during serving buttt that could have just been a hazard of sitting in the serving pan too long. Again, not a deal breaker, just an observation. Unfortunately, my camera didn't eat first this time but please trust me when I say even her presentation was on point. Not sure how many people my school ordered for but there was enough to serve huge portions to all who were there (and, of course, there was a significant amount of attendees who didn't even RSVP). Will definitely personally promote her for a couple of upcoming events. If YOU book Chef April/Reign's Kitchen please tell her you saw it on Yelp and come back to update us!

There are so many layers to uncover with Chef April. First off, let me discuss the masterpiece…read morebehind this service. Knowing that she's a local Washingtonian instantly made me want to support her even more. Chef April is incredibly kind and genuinely passionate about her craft, and rightfully so. Now, let's dive into her food. We hosted a brunch where Chef April prepared shrimp and grits, potatoes, eggs, and waffles. The waffles were like funnel cake; it was absolutely delicious and savory. We didn't even need syrup; they were perfect on their own. But the shrimp and grits... they were incredible! I can't stress enough how amazing they were. I will definitely be booking her again. Don't just walk, run and book her. I'll gladly recommend her to anyone who asks because I believe in quality and taste, and she delivers on both.

Extremely disappointing experience. We hired this caterer three months ago for my graduation party,…read morewhich my girlfriend worked hard to organize. One week before the event, she canceled, saying she had food poisoning. She sent a long apology email, refunded our money, and offered nothing else. No backup plan, no referrals, no support. Just a cancellation and goodbye. How does food poisoning a full week in advance prevent you from working an event seven days later? It makes no sense. Now we are left scrambling to find another caterer on short notice for something we have been planning for months. Do not hire this caterer. She is unreliable and unprofessional. If anything goes wrong, you will be left to deal with the fallout on your own.

She was very professional, kind, cared about my function worked with me to find the right menu and allowed changes with my menu selections up to almost the event, all with a great sense of humor. The food arrived before time. It was hot, smelled great and the delivery person was polite and did a great job at setting up. The food was exceptional, some of the best macaroni and cheese I've had since I've moved to the DMV area. Everything was seasoned just right. All my guest were asking who did the food, typical I would have some food left over, however this time the pans were bone try. I didn't only have a successful event; I've found my cater for future functions. Thanks for your help, I'm looking forward to doing business in the near future.

I reached out via the request form on the business website and received a phone call within 24 hours of submitting my request. Chef Jennie B was genuinely interested in creating a one of a kind menu for my celebration and provided insightful recommendations to keep my menu cohesive and unique. The business even offers serving-ware purchase options. Truly a quality, one-stop-shop catering experience. Leading up to my housewarming, Chef Jennie B communicated regularly to confirm my menu selections, confirm intended number of guests and dietary restrictions, and schedule a time for delivery. When delivering, Chef Jennie B and her team were communicative, professional, and friendly (it was my first time hosting a large group in my space and I had lots of questions about set-up, reheating, serving, etc). I'd also like to compliment the business's pricing and invoicing process. Pricing was discussed thoroughly and I was never once pressured to make decisions that would compromise my budget. Invoicing and payment were completed seamlessly online via a secured website. My receipt was provided immediately for my record. Most importantly, the food was absolutely amazing! Months later, My guests still ask about the mac and cheese balls, chicken kabobs, and vegan stuffed mushrooms. Overall: This is a local, woman-owned business I will gladly work with for any occasion. I have proudly recommended Chef Jennie B to anyone who asks.
