Great customer service and price

Nicole Boyd

My Fiancé and I visited Dad's Catering Service this past week. Yes the building has no windows, or a sign. Apparently it's a shared facility l. We were greeted by employees from a different company and told that this is a shared commissary. Absolutely understandable, after the pandemic ect. We were given several different options to choose from, and everything was absolutely amazing. I wasn't expecting so many options given to us. I can't thank you enough Mr.Tim. We look forward to our event scheduled next spring.

Amazing food, and service

I used Dad's catering for my wedding of 100 guest and had rib eye steak, chicken picotta, side salad, spring veggies, rolls, tea, lemonade. Also had chicken nuggets and mac and cheese and corn for the kids. Our guest could not say enough about how great the food was. The pricing was extremely reasonable. I would use them for any gatherings that we have. I called the night before and left a frantic message that we had people call and say they were coming the day before our wedding. I got a call the next day saying that it was all covered not to worry.

Exceptional food and services

From the food tasting to our wedding day, the service from Dad's Catering was exceptional. The food was delicious and there were so many options to choose from! Multiple guests at the wedding told me how much they enjoyed their dinner. Both the food service and bartending service at our wedding was quick, friendly, and professional. We highly recommend Dad's Catering.
