We were extremely pleased with Darci and the event staff. The food was delicious! Our only complaint was that we thought we have leftovers...but so many people went back for seconds that there weren't any. I would highly recommend Fat Freddy's.

Darcy at Fat Freddy's Catering was a joy to work with. They came as a recommendation from a Christmas party. Fat Freddy's is very customer service oriented and wants to make sure the food for your event is exactly what you want. All the food was cooked to perfection, tasted fabulous, was well proportioned and my guests were pleased as well. We did not have the luxury of a wedding cordinator and when it came to the caterer, there was no need. Everything was well taken care of and worry free.

Be sure to read the brochure and information provided so you will know what you need to do on your end for the caterers. Otherwise they take care of everything. Also if you are able to do a taste testing it is a great experience. You get to try some of the selecftions they offer plus meet some of the staff.
This is the content of a letter I wrote to Fat Freddy's - Phoenix, AZ
We were very impressed and happy with the servers you sent. There are not enough words. I wish I could remember all their names. They did an outstanding job. Everyone enjoyed the food (which was delicious). You staff was so calm, organized and friendly. The tables were set up beautifully. No one was ever in need of anything because one of the servers was right at hand. They even went out of their way to do things I didn't expect. In all the chaos of the past couple of days it was so nice to sit back and just enjoy being and not worry about a thing. It is the best service I have ever seen.I have already referred Fat Freddy's to several people and you can bet you will here from us again. Thanks so very much for everything.

Fat Freddy's was prompt however our event for 200+ was running a little late and the servers stayed right on top of the time frame, they were ahead of the crowd for service and everyone at our event raved about the quality of the food and service. We could not have been happier with the whole experience. We have the dinner annually and everyone agreed we would have Fat Freddy's cater in 2012.

From planning to serving, Fat Freddy's made our day spectacular! Darci was wonderful to work with, she made multiple changes for us and answered every question with a clear and quick response. We attended several tastings with them, leaving each time more impressed.

The food was delicious and plentiful! The presentation was elegant and when it came time to invite guests to eat, the servers were wonderful and friendly. All of my guests were delighted with the meal of apricot mango chicken, beef brisket au jus, mashed potatoes and salad. The brisket and the mashed potatoes were the stars- our guests were raving about them!

The servers were professional in both appearance and conduct and worked quietly and efficiently. After we intially cut the cake, they had it served up in no time and offered the guests all that they liked. The venue itself had some snafus but Fat Freddy's went above their jobs and did extra things to make things run smoothly, I appreciated that they did these things even though it wasn't their job.

Fat Freddy's doesn't just provide delicious food; they are also thoughtful and caring. I loved that the servers whipped up two huge to-go boxes for my husband and I to take for the honeymoon and had them ready without having to ask. It was a surprising and wonderful touch.

I am so happy that we chose Fat Freddy's and I will continue to sing your praises to everyone!

Fat Freddy's did not disappoint! The food and service were simply amazing! We recieved so many compliments from our wedding guests about how much they LOVED the food. We went with a 2 entree Caribbean meal and loved everything about it. No complaints at all. I would recommend Fat Freddy's for any event that needs catering. They were so professional and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Fat Freddy's for being a part of our special day!

Fat Freddy's did a wonderful job with my daughter's wedding on 11/14/09. The staff was courteous and professional and were right on top of everything from the set up,to the cake and to the left overs. I would definitely use Fat Freddy's again for any occasion. I got a ton of compliments on how delicious the food was and how polite the staff was. Darci was wonderful with helping with the bride's choosiness with the salad and accomodated her wonderfully to make her day special. The groom loved the food and said he could make a meal on the garlic mashed potatoes alone. Thank you for making a special day memorable.

The food for our wedding was SO good. We've gotten compliments on the quality of the food. Fat Freddy's was also very easy to work with. My emails were responded to promptly and courteously. We attended a tasting prior to booking them, and the fee for it went towards our total payment. The other thing I really liked is that they didn't charge a cake cutting fee (but I did have to rent cake plates since they weren't included in the china rental). Their prices were very competitive, especially for the quality. I would definitely recommend Fat Freddy's to anyone planning a party.

We did an Herb Roasted Chicken Breast and Beef Brisket with the garlic mashed potatoes. The food was amazing especially the garlic mashed potatoes! Still to this day I get told by our wedding guests how good the food was. Not only was the food amazing but the staff was amazing also. They are so flexible and willing to help where ever the help is needed. The staff are all very hard workers and make it so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your day.

Could not have been more pleased with Fat Freddy's. Great food, great service, and great price. Everyone absolutely loved it. I guess what they say is true, "Never trust a skinny cook!"

Fat Freddy's is the best food you could ever have at a party. We had beef brisket, chicke, mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, rolls, everything at our reception and it all tasted amazing! Fat Freddy's even matched the buffet table decorations to my wedding colors! Renata is so wonderful to work with when planning your menu and the team that works your reception are all amazing! They were so nice to all of the guests and truly made the night like we were in a 5 star restaurant!
