    Delicious and amazing people!

    ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!!!!!!!!! During the early stages of wedding planning, we were working with another caterer who didn’t follow through. Our wedding coordinator at our venue suggested we contact Judee. I remember sitting on my phone in the car and when I called she answered right away. We had a wonderful conversation and I felt comfortable with her and her business. Since that day, Judee was such a sweetheart. She was always available to chat with us, answer questions and gave us everything we could ask for and more including a PIZZA BAR! which is not in their speciality. They made us silicon slices and had bowls of toppings for people to add to their slices. There were so many people raving about it that they forgot to even take pictures of their pizza or the pizza bar itself! Judee had us come in for our tasting and gave us a lot of food to try. She let my husband and I come back a second time without our entourage and let us retry one of our items and again made us an entire plate of yummyness. My husband and I thought we saw “broccoli and cheddar stuffed” chicken on the menu and apparently that wasn’t on there BUT Judee and John made it for us anyways and it was a huge hit at the wedding! Everyone also loved the Smoked BBQ Brisket - which I was worried about at first since our tasting was not during smoked season, but the smoked brisket came out wonderful! and our veggie option- Stuffed Portobello Mushroom. Not only did Judee and her team provide great food, but their positive attitudes and serving skills were beyond expected. Judee and her team made sure to have a plethora of appetizers in the bridal room when we came back from photos/before intros. They followed the seating chart perfectly to serve meals and everything came out in a timely manner. Her team cut all of our cake, plated all of our cookies and provided trays for the cookie table. Prior to the reception, Judee met with me twice I think to review table cloth colors and even got a bunch of pink and blue samples to see at my venue in person. At the end of our reception, Judee and her team cleaned up all of our decor as they were asked too which was not part of the initial plan. I can’t thank Judee enough and I highly recommend her at All the Best Catering and PGH BBQ Company John in Dormont. Judee is a wonderful person and has a big heart. Love her and the team!!! Also.. forgot to mention, the veggies OMG SO GOOD and the potatoes!!!! ALL THE BEST! Thank you!

    Wonderful!

    Judee and her team were honestly amazing. Booked them without much time for an outdoor wedding in a space that no one has used previously. They did everything we asked and more. Extremely satisfied - will use again and definitely recommend!

    Judee was the caterer for our wedding on 12.2.2017. Judee was seriously fabulous. We had a very specific idea in mind for our food wanting a half polish half greek buffet. Judee went above and beyond to accommodate the exact vision we had. We had many many people come up to use that night and in the days after to tell us it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Judee also trayed our cookies for the cookie table and displayed our cake pops from our bakery. On top of all the fabulous catering judee added fairie light to the cookie table to display and fairie lights on the head table that made for a gorgeous extra touch. Throughout the night Judee and her crew kept the buffet moving nicely as we had told her we were hoping to get on the dance floor as soon as possible. I can't say enough about how fabulous Judee's food was and how she went above and beyond with every aspect of the reception. I would recommend Judee to any bride in the area and the value for the quality food she provides is unbeatable.

    Thank you Judee for making the reception of our dreams!

    Judee was extremely helpful leading up to the wedding and she and her team worked with the venue to coordinate all the set up so I didn't have to worry about anything. Most importantly, the food was amazing! My husband and I made it a point to eat our dinner since it was so good, and our guests raved about the food, too. We missed our cocktail hour (which was not the plan), but the All the Best staff still made sure the bridal party got appetizers and drinks before we made our big entrance. Definitely recommend!

    Wedding date: 9/5/15

    We worked closely with Judee and Tracy at All the Best, and I have to say that they were exceptional to work with. They made the stressful business of choosing a caterer, figuring out menus, and coordinating everything day-of very easy and slightly less stressful. Judee was very prompt in her responses by email or phone. Our wedding was held at a venue that did not have a full kitchen, so they had to do extra work getting the food to the venue, keeping it warm until dinner, and serving everyone. I got SO many compliments about the food, and I couldn't have agreed more. It was absolutely fantastic. The work that Judee and Tracy did preparing for my wedding was outstanding. They went the extra mile to make sure everything was set up exactly perfectly (I even gave them diagrams because I'm anal about that.) and it was just beautiful. I had a pickle bar at my wedding (which was a HUGE hit!) and they set it up beautifully. Judee and Tracy coordinated the linen delivery, decor of the hall, and all the little details that somehow get done on your big day... that's Judee and Tracy. And they did an absolutely beautiful job. I cannot recommend All the Best enough. It was an absolute pleasure working with them. They also own the Pittsburgh Barbecue Company next door, which is SO yummy!

    We did used the bbq option (Pittsburgh Bbq Co.) and it was amazing. Everyone raved about the food. We heard it was the best brisket many of our guests had ever had AND we also heard the stuffed portobello was the best vegetarian/vegan wedding option our veggie friends had ever had. We had a diy wedding in South Park and All the Best supplied a great bar tending and wait staff. I would use them again in a second. Highly recommended!!

    All the Best was definitely true to its name! The food both looked and tasted amazing... the cheesy mashed potatoes were out of this world! We had several guests with food allergies and dietary restrictions, and they provided special allergen-free plates for them at no extra cost. Our coordinator for the day, Tracy, was super friendly and helpful, and made sure that the bridal party had plenty to eat since we weren't going through the buffet line. (we actually got a chance to sit down and eat a full meal at our own wedding...it's almost hard to believe!)

    My only complaint is a trivial one...they had told us ahead of time that we should bring our wedding cookies to the catering office the day before the wedding so they could tray them. When we showed up to the reception hall to decorate the day before the wedding, we found out that we were supposed to have brought our cookies straight there. So, a bunch of the cookies never made it to the wedding. No complaints against the food or the service, just some logistics/communication that didn't quite work out.

    All the Best helped to make my wedding reception unforgettable! Six weeks before our wedding, we found out that our original caterer was unable to cater our reception. We had booked our original caterer more than a year before our wedding day and thought we were good to go. Unfortunately, that fell through. But All the Best came to the rescue and calmed my fears. Judee reassured me that our wedding reception would be perfect and it was. The food was absolutely delicious! Our guests are still raving about how good all of the food was...from the cocktail hour to the main course. The food was presented beautifully and everyone was extremely satisfied by the time the dinner hour was over. Cookies were also trayed beautifully and replenished quickly throughout the night. The room looked gorgeous...the linens and table settings looked great. Overall, we had a very satisfying experience with All the Best and I would definitely recommend them!

    The only reason I don't have a 5.0 for responsiveness is because sometimes it takes some nudging to get a response through email or voicemail, but I think that's simply because these guys are so busy doing a fabulous job at the event(s) they're working any given week. We needed a flexible catering team that would allow us to incorporate some Indian dishes. Their chef was nervous, but he executed two Indian dishes wonderfully. They even allowed us to have an extra tasting to make sure he could get those tasting right.

    The day of coordinator, Judee, gets an A+ for sure. She's the person who's in charge of all the servers, but she did so much more than that. She really coordinated the whole reception (made sure everything went on the tables, set up our escort cards, set up other tables, completely laid out the entire cookie table, etc.). Without her, we would have had to come and do it all ourselves.

    All in all, our experience with All the Best was great. They are a classy catering company and they did a wonderful job.

    The food was delicious and we received compliments from everyone we talked to about how much they loved the food. Their service at the reception was great and were very accommodating to the handful of guests that had to eat gluten free.

    Fabulous caterer! Food was great, but service was even better! Tracy, the coordinator, was so flexible & paid attention to every detail. She worked her butt off the days leading up & the day of our wedding & everything was amazing. Tables were decorated beautifully. We had a cocktail hour, family-style dinner, and wine service, and everything went so smoothly. Also got fabulous remarks on the delicious italian meatballs. Highly reccommend. Thanks Tracy & Judee!

    We decided to go with a mix of All The Best Catering and Pittsburgh BBQ (same company). The food was delicious and worth every penny! Judee is definitely best to get ahold of by phone. She does not do very well responding to e-mails, but she was very helpful nonetheless!
    This caterer knows what they're doing and they are very on top of things. The set up all of our tables for us as well as placed all of our favors, plated our cookies and our appetizers, and served the food. Everyone loved the food and it was great!! I am really happy we chose All The Best!

    Denny was great, and very responsive to all of our concerns. Some concerns arose at the reception (no kids meals), but nothing that could not have been remedied. The staff on-sight may not have been the most flexibile, but I would recommend Denny and his chef hands down!

    I had dealt with one lady, Judee, for over a year and the day before the wedding I was told we were going to have someone else in charge the day of our wedding. I was very disappointed. The lady in charge demanded money from my mother in law stating I had 20 more guests that originally stated. (I had several empty chairs at tables and even had a full empty table of 8, so this statement was IMPOSSIBLE). One of the bartenders wouldn't serve me shots when they served them from the time cocktail hour opened. We had grape and other juices to serve to the guests that weren't drinking for toasts. They were M.I.A. and never served. He even told me in these exact words, "Your guests are a bunch of alcoholics." The caterer in charge told my mother in law that there was no more food left to give to us...there were at least 2 containers filled with food in the kitchen stowed away.
    Overall, the food was PHENOMENAL! This was the second time I enjoyed their food. If you do use this company, make sure you have everything straight with them to the fullest prior. I would use this company again but I would specifically ask and deal with Judee and request not to use the few employees that were there the night of my wedding.

    We booked ATB Catering for our wedding. Food was fine, but everything else was a mess. Judee tried to cancel/change two out of our three meetings within an hour of the meeting. They failed to announce that our cake was being put out so we wasted $500 in Oakmont Bakery cake. We specifically asked for any extra food to be given to us - a) we paid for it b) we wanted it for our hotel after-party. They said there was none left. Zero. For a buffet setup, that means they either didn't have enough for our guests, or they threw it away/took it for themselves, even the pierogies that we purchased on our own and had served... which I have seen them do before, knowing people who have worked for them. They also never had us sign a contract - very unprofessional for the wedding industry.

    When we called to express our issues after the wedding, Judee first said they don't work with DJs to announce cake... then she changed her tune and said she told one of the bridesmaids to have it announced - this did not happen. We asked to speak to the owner, Art, and he immediately attacked us, saying he wanted to get rid of us months ago because he knew we would have issues and want money back. We never wanted money, just to tell him how poorly Judee handled our wedding. He replied with "That's not my problem" and was never apologetic at all for any of the issues we had. We asked him to explain any of the issues above, and he was unable to, but still refused to apologize for any of the poorly handled issues.

    I run a business also, and if I handled a customer issue like either of the two of them, I would not only hurt our brand/business, but probably lose my job.

    If I could give a lower score I would. If you are thinking about hiring this vendor for your wedding, PLEASE AVOID. My biggest gripe is against Judee, the manager. However, after just speaking with the manager Art, I have no hope for their business.
    I have a long list of things that went wrong with my experience wit ATB, but not enough space on here. Please see my review on The Knot or Yelp for specifics. I will leave the last portion of the review on here as well. BRIDES, PLEASE BEWARE. Manager and owner are unprofessional and inappropriate.

    My husband and I talked to Art today. After I gave him our list of specific examples of things that went wrong, he told us he never wanted to do our wedding anyway. He said he knew we would just want money back for problems that occurred. I was blown away by this response. I brought up the fact that I have not once asked for money back - all I wanted was an apology. He then blamed my bridesmaid (who used to work for them) for everything that happened because she had "insider knowledge". FYI this insider knowledge is that they let you pay cash for servers, which Judee told me in our first meeting. Also, "linens" apparently. No clue what he was talking about as my package included linens (at one point I had asked Judee to send me info on upgrading linens, which was never done). Note: we got no discount either, so still wondering what this insider knowledge is. We went through my list again and I asked him to give me specific responses to those situations. He said he couldn't offer any explanations. He also said he did not feel like he had to apologize. My husband would be fired from his job if he did this. Clearly this business does not care about its customers. It won't give even an apology when one is due, or even a thank you for reaching out and giving feedback. Please beware. Or if you do go with them, feel free to contact me so I can give you all this alleged "insider knowledge."
