    My daughter was married at The Oaks at Salem recently, and the venue required us to choose a…read morecaterer from their provided list. After meeting with three caterers, we decided to move forward with 39 West. We enjoyed the food we sampled during our tasting, and felt we had made the right choice. Unfortunately, what you don't learn during a tasting is how a caterer actually executes their job on the day of the event. Our wedding count was 100 people, which in the grand scheme of things is not a large event. We discussed our plans multiple times with our contact at 39West. The venue had two bar locations, and it was important to us that both be manned, as we didn't want our wedding guests to have to wait in a long line to get a drink. We agreed to have a bartender work the 2nd bar during the cocktail hour. On the day of the wedding, 39West didn't bother to set up the second bar. When questioned about this by the wedding planner, the woman in charge barked that they simply couldn't do it. We were unaware that this had happened until we showed up at the cocktail hour after bridal photos, and to our dismay saw our guests standing in a line 25-people deep, waiting to get a drink. We had also requested glasses of wine be passed on platters to alleviate the crowds at the bar. This was never done. The bartenders were busy trying to strike up conversations with our guests as they approached the bar. Isn't their job to serve drinks efficiently? I could only think that they were more concerned in trying to get a tip from each guest rather than simply do their job. Our wedding planner provided the caterer a detailed description in writing of what our table settings were to look like. Charger plates were to be wrapped by a napkin which was tri-folded. The charger plates we paid extra for were never used when setting the tables. The water glasses were supposed to be pre-filed and pre-set on the tables (we had to pay extra for this) but were never set on the tables. Instead of the desired visual with our charger plate, and napkin folded around it, our place settings were all random throughout the dining area. Some place settings had knives placed sideways where the plate should have been and they were being used to hold up the napkins which were draped off the table. Others had napkins crumpled in a ball. The tables honestly looked like a 2-year old had set them. The main entree took extremely long to be served, and I believe the issue was simply that they did not bring enough staff for the event. We thought we were getting a professional caterer for the event however it seemed as if they tried to cut costs by utilizing as little hired help as possible. I contacted the owner after the wedding, and let him know how his company had let us down. He did give us some money back, however that doesn't right the wrong that occured, or change our memories of what should have been a beautiful day.

    Greg and his entire team have been wonderful to work with for our company catering needs. We have…read morebeen using them for years and are always very impressed with the quality of their food, professionalism, and punctuality! They are so easy to work with and we look forward to our next event when we can utilize their services again. 10/10 highly recommend!

    This is a blast to the past. Very cool old building interior. Stopped by for a lunch in middle of…read moreweek and found plenty of seating. Sat down and was greeted immediately ordering a water and sweet tea. Loved looking thru menu with so many good choices. We were going out for a big dinner later so this was suppose to be a small lunch. My wife ordered a cup of soup. I ordered a bowl of brunswick soup and a grilled pimento cheese sandwich. I could not finish the soup as the bowl was large and amount of meat in it was abundit. My grilled cheese was wonderful, I love pimento cheese. Unfortunately we could not try any of the soda or ice cream products this trip. The service is great and friendly. Restrooms are restored old school design. Will return to try other menu items and some Soda Shoppe product.

    Enjoyed a really nice dinner here last night with a beyond incredible staff that went above and…read morebeyond to check in on us frequently (server and owner or manager- not sure which) and make sure we had everything we needed and were very happy. I was blown away by how attentive and friendly they were despite being super busy. For the environment, the place felt a bit loud and crowded - which for one was a testament to how well liked it appeared to be (we are visiting from out of state) and how they had to make very creative use of the space as they must cater to so many in a smaller space. It was also clean and quite nostalgic with lots of interesting old time memorabilia - and didn't try to go too cheesy and over the top with the theme though again was a bit too busy and crowded and could have maybe used a more highlighted 'less is more' approach to showcase the ice cream shoppe feel, the old time candy shop ambience, etc. I also loved that there were no tvs to distract from the ppl in front of us, and though time period music would be fun, it might have made it even too much louder. I appreciated very much that they seemed to want ppl to talk and enjoy the company in front of them. The fried pickles app was really good, and the dreamsicle style shake and curly fries - sooo delicious! The ice cream concoctions we didn't try, but saw delivered all around us were huge and fun and looked so good! The BLT was a bit dry and could have used a good mayo or sauce, and my sister's Hawaiian chicken didn't have the Hawaiian bun but it was unique and still not bad. Though with the soda shoppe name I had hoped for more unique or home made soda concoctions or offerings. Overall though- the food was mostly really really good; it seemed cute and beloved and very popular with the town; and there was a clear pride in the place - and very apparent love and appreciation of the customers by the staff which was number one in what I saw and was very impressed by. They just need and deserve a bigger space!
