We planned on 50 people and she provided enough food to feed all of the personnel at JBLM. OK, that may be a slight exaggeration but there was sooooooo much food no one went hungry and there was plenty for people to take leftovers home. My wife and I are mexican food connoisseurs and I'm telling you, Cindy's taco bar with all the fixins was some of the best we've ever had. In addition to the amazing food, Cindy's set up and clean up were also amazing. We didn't do anything except enjoy the party! Thank you so very much Cindy!!!

Fabulous, fabulous, fabulous. That's all there is to say about Cindy's Kitchen Catering…read more ..No, wait, I have more!! Do you have a big event coming up, like a baby or wedding shower, birthday party, retirement party, etc.? Do you not feel like making the food yourself or doing a potluck with your family who can barely make toast? Still want that home-cooked taste, attention to detail and display that To Go doesn't offer? Look no further than Cindy's business! (*edit to add, my family CAN cook... sorry mom) While planning my daughter's 1st birthday party, I had lots on my mind. I realized I did not want to organize and cook all the food while trying to clean AND decorate. Yelp and Cindy's Kitchen reviews to the rescue....! Cost was extremely reasonable. She took my order over the phone, and payment was simple through app/invoice sent to email. Even better, Cindy delivered all the food right on time, set up, and picked up her platters afterward! We ordered the turkey & ham sliders, veggie pizza, mac & cheese, and Italian pasta salad. ALL delicious, plentiful portions (many took home leftovers!) and what a great menu to choose from. When Cindy is rich and famous, I hope she remembers the little people like me who appreciated her talent way back when. :)

Very disappointing and do not recommend for your wedding. We paid for a tasting and discussed…read moreoptions with Chris in person. For their package where you pick 3 meats we suggested picking 2 and having a vegetarian option instead for the third. He said no this isnt necessarily, pick the three meats and he will throw a couple portabella mushrooms on the grill for the few vegetarians. He said to include them in the final count and email him before the event with the number of vegetarians and to let the vegetarians know to request them from the servers, as if they put them out on the buffet everyone will eat them. We did this and he responded to the email with the final invoice which we paid before the event. Day of the wedding we find out at the end of the meal our vegetarians asked about the mushrooms and they were told it wasn't on the invoice and we never paid for it. Absolutely embarrassing and extremely unprofessional. Now our guests think we didn't do anything for them and it was our mistake. We did pay for them and was told they'd have mushrooms instead. Reached out to voice my disappointment vs going to a review and his response was my cordinator should have noticed it wasn't on the invoice (i told her this is how he wanted it done and that's why they weren't there) and he also mentioned the food that was there turned out good as if that was supposed to fix everything. They are too busy opening up their new restaurant and don't care about you. Don't trust them for your big event!

The waitress that sat us was a local girl from HI with a beautiful smile and so we already knew we were in good hands. The menu had both breakfast and lunch options, enough items to satisfy every family member's taste. And the portions are huge. Sister 2 ordered three tacos that she said was just ok. She also ordered the blueberry cheesecake pancake that was pretty good. Sister 2 ordered chicken and waffles. That was a high piece of chicken. This was pretty good. I ordered the American omelette that I thought was pretty good. Unfortunately, no rice. Potatoes were well seasoned. I normally don't finish my wheat toast it the jam was really good and so I was able to eat enjoy both slices of toast. Items are reasonably priced. And yes, I would come back in the future.

Shelly and the team at Masonry exceeded every expectation we had for our wedding catering. When…read moreplanning the wedding, we were very stressed by the cost of everything. Shelly offered to call me and talk things through, offering creative ways for us to be able to save on spending; paying in cash to reduce card fees, reducing staff by using disposable plates, moving to one protein, etc. We didn't end up needing to do most of these things, but regardless, she indicated she was on our team and would do whatever she could to help us. She was beyond patient with me and kind the whole way through as I went back and forth on what to do. I had endless questions for weeks before booking. On wedding day, everything went off without a hitch. Her team showed up in professional attire, were kind, respectful, and prompt. They were so sweet and kept telling us how beautiful everything was and how grateful they were to be there. The food was SO GOOD. So good in fact we put the leftover scalloped potatoes, prime rib, and artichoke chicken straight in the freezer on wedding night and are just about to run out. It is still just as good now reheated in the oven! And the desserts went QUICK. If I could change anything, I would have ordered extra. We have too many sweet lovers in the family!

This was our second visit to Pellegrino's, and we really enjoyed it both times! It's a tiny little…read moretwo-story restaurant, and we've sat upstairs on both visits. The upstairs is small and intimate, which gives the whole place a cozy, unique feel. Our waiter this time was a young gentleman who was incredibly friendly and did a great job! Three of us ordered Coors Lights in bottles, and he brought them out ice cold with a chilled glass to pour them into. When we ordered a second round, he let us know he had just put some more in the freezer, so it would be a few minutes. That little extra step made a difference...we'd much rather wait a few minutes for an ice-cold beer than have it brought out warm! I ordered the spaghetti with their house-made Bolognese sauce and added a meatball, and WOW. The sauce had the perfect combination of slight sweetness, a little spice from the sausage, and that tangy tomato flavor. So good! And I'm usually not a huge fan of restaurant meatballs because they can be tough or rubbery, but this one was soft, juicy, and packed with flavor. Sean got the lasagna and absolutely loved it! Our friends who invited us out ordered the steak and spaghetti Bolognese, and everyone was happy with their meals. The steak was cooked exactly how it was requested, and the quality of the food for the price was really good. Overall, Pellegrino's is just a great little place. Warm, inviting atmosphere, friendly service, delicious food, and a fun, intimate setting that feels a little different from your typical Italian restaurant. Definitely worth checking out if you're looking for a place to enjoy a good meal with friends. We'll definitely be back!

We came in with a party of 11 for my niece's birthday and unfortunately had a very disappointing…read moreexperience from start to finish. Right away there was confusion at check-in--they called for a party of 9 with no name, and the host was rude when we responded using the first name instead of the last. After being seated, it took about 10 minutes just to get drinks, and then another 30 minutes before our server took our food order. During that time, we weren't asked about appetizers or offered any drink refills. About an hour later, the server came back and told us the kitchen was backed up and they were "just now making our food," which honestly felt like our order may have been forgotten. At that point, all of our drinks were empty and I had to ask for refills. While we were still waiting, another server came to the table asking how one of our steaks was cooked, which added to the confusion. Our food finally arrived after about an hour and a half. Unfortunately, the issues didn't stop there: My spaghetti and meatballs was incorrect, but I kept it since I didn't want to wait again with a toddler. My sister's husband's meal was never even put in--the server admitted this. My sister's fish and chips came out cold. No one checked back to see how the food was. Drinks were left empty again with no refills offered. We were never asked about dessert. Plates were never cleared, even after I stacked empties at the end of the table to help. Every time we needed something, we had to flag someone down. To make matters worse, the checks came out incorrect with items swapped between them. I've worked as a server/bartender for four years, and my niece is also a server, so we completely understand how busy and stressful things can get. But this experience missed the mark on multiple levels. Even when things go wrong, basic service--like keeping drinks filled and checking on guests--should still be happening. This was easily the worst restaurant experience I've had. It was especially disappointing because we're an easy group and typically tip very well. Unfortunately, we will not be returning.

Absolutely would not recommend for catering…read more The biggest issue I had with city picnics was that ten of our vegetarian sandwiches had ham in them. Not only that, but when I called staff the next day that our office was open (which was delayed by a weekend and a snow day), they raised their voices at me and explained how I was wrong and how it is impossible for them to have meat in their veggie sandwiches. Well obviously not since that's what we had.. and without a doubt this was the most unprofessional experience I have ever had with any business. If you follow my reviews, you know I am a fair person who has only once ever given a business a one star review. I don't do this lightly because I know that my review can have an impact on a business. But I've been in event planning for several years and have never had a worse experience than with City Picnics. We had a few communication hiccups, but nothing I haven't experienced before - catering is a hectic business and delivery to the Capitol Campus can complicate things even more. Completely understandable and not a big deal. They offered basic sandwiches with chips got a great price, and we were excited about not having to give an arm and a leg to provide lunch for our group. The biggest issue I had was, again, that ten of our vegetarian sandwiches had ham in them and instead of owning up to their mistake and apologizing (or at least lying about being sorry..) they argued with me, raised their voices, talked over me, and were extremely rude. When making sandwiches for upwards of 130 people, mistakes can happen. We're all human. I tried to explain that yes, it did happen, it's a pretty big deal that they should know happened, and that they should look into HOW it happened so that no other groups need to go through what we did with frustrated guests. I'm not sure why they think someone would lie about this for ten sandwiches.. but maybe they didn't hear me since they were pretty busy talking over me. I was looking for an apology and "we apologize" or "we're so sorry that happened" wasn't said one time. Instead they insisted on arguing with me repeatedly for a mistake they say is impossible but clearly happened - there were 100 witnesses at lunch. I wasn't asking for a comp of those sandwiches but after that argue fest and their unprofessional handling of my order I jumped to accept when they offered it for the 10 mislabeled ones. They won't be receiving my support again, and I'll be sure to pass along the message to colleagues who do large events on the capitol campus annually. Save yourself the trouble and spend a few extra dollars per person for professional service elsewhere.

They were incredibly efficient - everything was set up and ready to go at 1:00 pm, just as we had requested. We got the whole crowd through the line promptly. The food was excellent. True, it would be hard to screw up burgers, hot dogs and chicken on the grill, but the real test was the potato salad, which was wonderful. Everything was fresh, tasty, and clean. They stuck around and helped us clean up after we ate. The price was more than fair, a great value. The remarkable thing is that this was a crowd of crabby old people who complain about everything. But we had no negative comments about the food or service. Thanks to Holly and her co-worker (whose name I didn't get, unfortunately) for a really nice meal.
