I have had two experience in the past with this catering company. First one was back in 2019, they…read morewere hire by my apartment complex to prepare a Mother's Brunch for residents and their mother's. Second one was for my wedding. I decided to go with them expecting the same experience but this was not the case at the end. My husband, fiancé at the time, and I went to the testing, Jennifer took care of us and we expressed our menu was going to be pork-free and it was reflected in our options, chicken and steak. About a month before the wedding they changed the contact person as Jennifer left the company. This cause a great deal of stress in me due to the fact that when I spoke with Maria she seemed that she did not have a clue if what I was talking about, regarding all the menu and specifics, I had already discuss with Jennifer and changed completely the quote adding a good $800 extra to quote. Come wedding day, first, I had nice matching silverware and the team decided to put the metal silverware next to the silver wear. Here the common sense was not used. This clashed with the decor. I remember mentioning to put the silverware next to the food so if people wanted to use those instead of the ones in the table they had the choice. Secondly, the caesar salad had bacon on it and it was pre-made. Once again, I was very explicit about not wanting pork in the menu. Half of my family ended not been able to eat the salad and I found this so annoying as I paid almost $2,400 for the services. Third, the head server approach me at some point of the wedding to ask me about the services and I told her how I was feeling and told her 'not great'. To this day NOBODY from this company has reached out to me for feedback. Needless to say they won't have my business nor recommendation in the future. Lastly, keep in mind it has been almost a full year of my wedding and I still feel strongly about it all.

Just wanting to give a major kudos to Affordable Catering for a phenomenal job they did in catering…read moreour rehearsal dinner. They catered our son and daughter-in-law's rehearsal dinner 1 week after Hurricane Ian. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Their staff members, Ice (lead server) and Dunia (2nd server) were absolutely awesome! They showed up on time coming to Venice, Fl from Tampa during very heavy "Ian" recovery traffic. Not only did they impress us with arriving with ample time to set up before guests arrived, they were very personable, happy, enjoyable and extremely efficient in serving and clean up. The food by Affordable Catering was absolutely amazing. The 62+ guests we had were thrilled with the food and service. Everything tasted so delicious, in particular, the Maui Chicken was a HUGE success. We received nothing but raves about the food. Thank you "Affordable Catering" for making our first experience an excellent experience. Marie Bentancourt, my sales associate, was also key in making our event a success as well. She worked very hard at satisfying my needs. She was very conscious of my concerns and had perfect suggestions to satisfy my specific needs. Thank you once again Affordable Catering. If anyone is looking for the perfect company to cater their party, you will not be disappointed with this company.

From the artwork (old signs and decor made from license plates), to the staff (friendly,friendly,friendly) to the food. I had the brisket sloppy Joe, dirty baked beans and a sweet tea.

If you are on a road trip, like us, don't be worried about taking an extra 15 minutes off of I75 to hit this place. And don't forget to squeeze the bbq udders for some extra sauce. :-)

The first time was for my daughters first holy communion party and it was amazing and we recommended them to many people and brought them a lot of business! The second time it was mediocre...we ordered a thanksgiving complete meal with desserts and sides we ordered this for 11 people and received enough for about 4 people even though we paid for 11 people. We were offered a free meal Pack for the shortage in food. The third and last time was this past Christmas where we ordered a complete Christmas dinner with sides and desserts for 11 people again. We used the free meal offer from the past poor experience figuring the first time was amazing and the thanksgiving problems must of been a one off. Our Christmas food was scheduled to be delivered on the 24th. After no contact on the 24th we finally reached them around 7pm at night and they said they would drop it off at 1pm on the 25th as I told them that was the time we were planning on eating. At 1:30 on the 25th they text me saying that everything except the turkey and ham just blew up in their kitchen and that they won't be delivering anything! Keep in mind we ordered salad, cheese plate, pies that don't involve an oven or stove! When questioned about the above items that shouldn't of been involved in this blow up they just stated again that they only have turkey and ham. After many more messages begging for at least the turkey and ham to be delivered a small tray of meat was delivered around 5pm!!! The tray was probably enough to feed about 4-6 people not the 11 we paid for! They offered to refund my money and give me a $200 credit towards another purchase with them. I have asked multiple times via messenger and requested the money back through Zelle multiple times to only have my messages ignored and no money refunded! So technically they still owe me $59 in cash and a four person meal along with $200 worth of other meals! I love to support local businesses! So sad that this one in not on the up and up anymore! Steer clear of this one and move on to the next!
