My wedding was July 16th, 2016 and I am an OCD bride that wants the best for a good price, I mean who doesn't. Norfolk Catering Company was it for me! Ted and his team gave me everything and more! Ted made me feel like he has known me for years and treated me like I was family. His staff was professional and so sweet. We had cocktail hour and a buffet and everything looked and tasted so good. I will call Ted for any catering needs in the future. Don't pass up this company you will not be disappointed!

We absolutely loved working with Ted and his staff. The food was fresh and delicious, so much so that someone took all of our chicken, our guests loved the food and professionalism of the staff. I personally love Ted because he focused on my wedding as if I was the only client on his calendar. I've recommended him to someone else already. Thank you for helping us create a beautiful wedding day and we will be in soon to enjoy more selections from your menu. Definitely worth every penny! ! Thanks again Ted

I was organizing an event that got rescheduled last minute, so I needed to schedule a caterer the night before the event. They were very reasonable and flexible and even changed the cost to meet our budget. The food was delicious and it was one of the best experiences I've had with a caterer. I would recommend them to anyone. They are very willing to work with you.

I can not give a good enough review of these guys! First, the food was delicious. Great flavors and they even made us a gluten-free chocolate dessert for some of our wedding guests. Their Greek donuts were a big hit at our reception as well! More than just great food, their service was off the charts. Ted and his guys were respectful, professional, but also give a warm almost family-like vibe. They have a take charge attitude and don't let the bride (or the family) worry about anything. They are very prepared and interact well with the guests. They are not intrusive when they are serving or setting out the food. We just loved working with them and can't wait to head to their restaurant soon just to get some more of their good food.

Mr. Papafil planned and prepared a '80th Birthday' party for approximately 80 people in Virginia Beach. The food was professionally prepared and had an excellent presentation. It included heavy Hors d'oeuvres with table of desserts and open bar, The table was beatifully decorated, and all guests appeared to be pleased with the selection of foods.

October came...and my wedding was fast approaching...well...so was Hurricane Matthew. I suddenly had to flip my beautiful outdoor-estate wedding to an indoor-museum wedding...in a different city! Whatever could go wrong with this wedding...did go wrong! On the day of my wedding, 5 hours before my event, my caterer called and had to cancel. With the hurricane came flash flooding, massive power outages, and road blocks (due to flooding). They had absolutely NO WAY to get there. My mother was in tears and my bridesmaids quickly scrambled reaching out to ANYONE they knew who could provide food for 150 people...in a hurricane...unexpectedly. MY bridesmaid Jeana found Norfolk Catering Company. Lucky for me....not lucky for someone else...they had a wedding flat out get cancelled due to this hurricane! (I'm sorry beautiful bride out there that had to cancel!)
Norfolk Catering came to the rescue and showed up 2 hours before my wedding at my venue and got to work. It was truly a miracle! Ted himself even served my new husband and I personally that night. The steak and the salmon was delicious! I loved the appetizers and heriot vers. The chicken was a little dry but I am NOOOOO way complaining. I was blessed and lucky to have had someone step in and I am forever thankful to this wonderful team. MY husband and I were married, and us, and our guests danced the night away with full bellies. Thank you so much to Norfolk Catering for making miracles happen for me and my family!

They drive to endanger our local community

Organizations should employ safe drivers, especially when driving is a part of the business.

Having drivers that tailgate (especially over 50mph), and swerve through traffic, is unacceptable. Organizations should protect the local neighborhood, not employ imbeciles who endanger it with wreckless driving.

Steer clear of this business (pun intended). In the video I captured (from what you can see) the driver tailgates at over 50mph, and then switches multiple lanes.


Full Video of their driving here:
