Great servie and amazing food

We did a tasting with Lisa and we were sold. Her food is amazing and all the guests raved about it. She was on time, the layout was beautiful and the food was hot. I highly recommend hiring Big Fatty's Catering.

Amazing Food!

The food was amazing! It was all made so well and reminded me of a home cooked meal, which is exactly what we wanted! She even had our plates made for us when it came time for us to eat!
