Rutt's Catering is hands down, by far, the best catering experience I have ever had. It was so good, I had to email the owner and here is what I said: ---- Hi Paul, You and your team are the best! The service I received from Rutt's Catering was OUTSTANDING. My colleague and I were so impressed with it ALL: Quality (everyone raved about the food--the best we've served them!), temperature (the food was PIPING hot...so hot that we needed mitts to uncover the food), portion (while it didn't look like enough, it was PLENTY), speed of service and promptness (we arrived 10 minutes earlier than our stated pick up time for the 1st order and the last of the order was being packed...we left exactly at the requested pick up time...but even MORE impressive was the food delivery to Malibu for the 2nd order was ALSO on time...was actually 10 minutes early--this has never happened before!), accuracy and packaging of order (everything was labeled clearly, packaged perfectly and nothing was wrong), and EVERYTHING in between (Paul was easy to work with when placing the order...even had a few changes and it wasn't an issue...they even provide name tents/food labels). Thank you for the best office catering experience. You should teach a class on it! --- Because of this experience, I will be reaching out to order Tuts Egyptian Food catering (affiliated with Rutts) for our next catering order. Thanks!

Adrian showed up on time, had everything he needed to set up, cook and serve. He was polite and friendly while doing a great job serving our guests. He left his cooking/serving area clean when he was finished. The food was delicious and fresh, we have attended other parties with taco caterers but this food was the best! I would definitely hire them again and will also refer Ask4tacos to others.

From start to finish, communication during the booking process was prompt, professional, and incredibly easy. The tacos were delicious! They were fresh, flavorful, and cooked on site. The tacos came with beans, rice, cilantro, onions, and three different types of salsa, all of which were fresh and very tasty. Our guests kept going back for seconds and were raving about the food throughout the party. A special shoutout to Ernesto, our taco man for the event. He was so friendly, super nice, and provided excellent service to all of our guests. He made the experience seamless and enjoyable. If you're looking for catering for a party or event, I highly recommend Ask 4 Tacos. They helped make my daughter's birthday celebration a huge success!

From my very first inquiry, their team was incredibly responsive. They answered all of my questions quickly, made the planning process so easy, and were wonderful to work with every step of the way. The menu options are amazing! They offer such a great variety of delicious food, making it easy to create a menu that was perfect for our guests. Every single item was fresh, beautifully prepared, and absolutely delicious. We received so many compliments throughout the evening, and people are still talking about the food! The presentation was beyond stunning. The entire setup was elegant, thoughtfully designed, and truly elevated the look and feel of the party. It became a focal point that guests couldn't stop admiring. On top of that, everyone on the TMC team was so kind, professional, and genuinely cared about making the event special. At the end of the night, they quietly and efficiently cleaned everything up, allowing me to simply enjoy the celebration without worrying about a thing. If you're looking for a caterer that delivers exceptional food, beautiful presentation, outstanding service, and a stress-free experience, TMC is the one. I would hire them again in a heartbeat!

Our team devoured the seafood paella, the vodka pasta, the paprika chicken, empanadas. Everyone loved the beef and chicken sliders and I had many options for our vegan and vegetarians. As long as I have been hosting our office events the team has never praised a caterer the way they did with you. I gave all who asked the name of your company as they were very impressed. Many asked when you can return with more food. This event was a viewing party for the FIFA World cup semi-finals and as everyone sat and watched the match, I will say your food overshined what was on TV. The delivery gentleman was so nice and kind arrived at 11am and set up the perfect display for us, it was overall a great experience. Thank you so much for a great menu and the best customer service.

Silver Spoons made everything happen, put the numerous gorgeous bouquets that people brought away in the perfect vases, which Scott or his team somehow found on their own without bothering me. They made everything look delicious despite the unbelievable heat, and then, on top of everything else - everything WAS delicious and delightful. The food was fantastic. And Scott Tessler and his team all talked to our guests in such a nice way. It was fun to have them there. We have used Silver Spoons intermittently over the years - for our daughter's wedding in Malibu in 2015, and now again, to introduce her baby to our friends and family. I'm beginning to think we should do this more often - the results from Scott and Silver Spoons are outstanding. After our event was over, exhausted, we came back to our kitchen, and discovered scads of perfectly wrapped leftovers - Steve and I simultaneously went hunting for that incredible mustard - oh, no, did they leave us some? Yes! You left us a significant amount, nicely wrapped up. And you cleaned up the kitchen beautifully! Even mopped! Everything was left in perfect order. I've been enjoying all the leftovers now for a few days. We have already given Silver Spoons' contact information to one guest at the party, who was very impressed with its work. Many of our guests were already familiar with Silver Spoons from their experiences at University Synagogue (now part of Wilshire Boulevard Temple). The food, the presentation, interaction with guests, following of dietary/allergy restrictions - all perfect. We had magnificent vegetables for the vegans, gluten-free dishes of all kinds that were superb, regular dishes that were wonderful - the food was great. And the service is exceptional. Our baby grandson had a grand debut in the Millers' back yard, and Silver Spoons Catering was a big part of that. Silver Spoons did a wonderful job, and we thank them for it.

The booking process was easy, and Alba was always quick to answer all of my questions, which I really appreciated. Our taco man arrived ahead of schedule, was very nice, worked efficiently, and the presentation looked great. He also gave me clear instructions about when he would call for the final round and reminded me to have containers ready for leftovers, which we did. I appreciated how organized and professional that part of the experience was. Unfortunately, there were a couple things this time that really didn't sit well with me. As the host of a party, I'm constantly moving around and making sure everything is running smoothly. As he was getting ready to leave, he asked me about a tip. I had every intention of tipping, but being asked directly felt uncomfortable and a little awkward. Then asked about the final payment. I told him I would send the payment through Zelle, he left--but came back shortly after to ask if I had sent it yet. I was still in the middle of hosting and hadn't had a chance to do it. It put me in an uncomfortable position, and my guests even started noticing and wondering what was going on. He apologized several times and explained it was the owner's policy, and I understand he may have been following instructions, but I ended up having to stop what I was doing during the party to send payment immediately. Afterward I checked the invoice and saw final payment was due the day of the event, which I completely understand. I just would have much preferred payment to be collected upfront upon arrival rather than being stopped during hosting while trying to manage guests. The food this time was also just okay--not as great as our first experience. I appreciate Alba's communication and the taco man effort, but unfortunately this experience felt very different from the first, and I won't be using Yummy Tacos again.

I was really looking forward to trying some authentic American Soul food after our office manager…read moreannounced that we were ordering catering from Grandmas House, and I researched the background behind this place. I wasn't expecting fried chicken, but I have to say this place offered way more healthy options and variety than I was expecting. The highlights of my experience were the fried chicken, corn bread, and the super cheesy mac n cheese. The herbs and the crispiness of the chicken was definitely a league above any thing I've had at fast food places that serve fried chicken. The seasoning was done just right without any of bit of saltiness. I am not sure what kind of cheese was used, but the mac n cheese had a firmness to the cheese that was refreshing (I don't like my mac n cheese too runny), and the flavor profile of the cheese tasted of a high end caliber. Corn bread was just the best darn corn bread I've had, with mild sweetness, strong corn flavor, and even good bits of corn mixed in. Very moist and tender, yet crumbles a bit when you handle it. Mixed greens were crisp and fresh and really balanced out the meal with much needed fiber for me. I felt the mushroom and string beans were pretty good, but nothing earth shattering. The shrimp on skewer sticks I felt were a little dry and plain so I don't recommend this as highly as the other items. Sheperd's pie was made from a ground beef layer along with a top layer of mashed sweet potato. The potato layer was very delicious, but the bottom meat layer could have used a little less salt IMO. Overall I had a very positive experience, and even my kids sampled a little of everything. They echoed my sentiments, except for the sheperd's pie, which my daughter was not a fan of.
