Ardyst Z. Sent on 11/06/2022We love Chef Papas!
We found about about Chef Papas catering because my parents frequently visited their storefront for lunch. First off, Callie was so flexible and sweet to work with. We had a special request for an appetizer that was off menu, and it was no problem for them to accommodate it! We LOVED the food at our wedding, and specifically got a ton of compliments for our chicken and waffles at cocktail hour. We’re so happy we went with Chef Papas! We also did a bartending service through them, which was also great.Chef Papa's Catering & Food To Go's reply:
Thank you so much Ardyst it was our pleasure, so happy to hear everyone enjoyed and I'm glad you had a great day for your wedding you looked beautiful! If you ever need us for anything just let us know.
Thank you, Callie & Chef Tom -

THE HYPE IS REAL! Chef Papa already has such an awesome reputation with the local community that I wasn’t sure my review would matter but I felt the need to comment anyway! My husband and I had the pleasure of having Chef Papa and his team cater our wedding in February 2022 and the food was to die for. Everything is so delicious! All of our guests talked about both our passed apps and our dinner for days. Word to the wise - do NOT skip the chicken and waffle app and the alfredo side!Chef Papa's Catering & Food To Go's reply:
Thank you so much Julie it was our pleasure to cater your wedding, so happy to hear everyone enjoyed and best wishes to both in the future! Chef Tom & Callie -

Chef Papa and his daughter served a delicious dinner for our wedding! The prices are very affordable, without having to compromise on the quality of food. The h'dourves especially the chicken and waffles, were a huge hit with our guests! Chef Papa was also very accommodating and professional when we had to postpone and downsize our April 2020 wedding to January 2021. We highly recommend Chef Papa catering for any event! -

Chef Papa and his team did a phenomenal job with our catering. When we went for our tasting, he brought out plenty of different options for us to try. We were able to customize our menu. Everyone at the cocktail and reception raved over the food letting us know how wonderful all the food was. We highly recommend Chef Papa’s catering!! -

Our wedding venue recommended Chef Tom Papa along with some other catering options for us since we didn't live in the same state as our wedding. Not only did Chef Papa respond to our request before anyone else but his first question was "when can you come in for a tasting?"; not money, not details. Chef Papa takes pride in his food and wants to make other people happy with it, and that became obvious to us from the very beginning.
We explained that we live out of town and gave him the date we were planning on coming back to town. He came in to his restaurant that day to personally cook for our tasting even though he had a huge event the night before and another that night. His website has some examples of catering menus he offers, so we mentioned to him beforehand which sounded like what we were looking for. He came prepared with the menu but then we talked about food we like and our guests dietary restrictions, and he started making notes, having ideas, and we developed a menu together. Then he went into the kitchen and started cooking, bringing us out course after course of our ideas and options.
Chef Papa provided china, silverware, napkins, glasses, cake cutting, waiters- everything! We didn't have to bring a thing. The waiters that were there were so personable and friendly that we all knew their names and were laughing with them by the end of the night. My husband and I threw a curveball by switching tables throughout the meal to visit with everyone, but Chef Papa's crew didn't miss a beat! No one had an empty glass or plate the entire meal. They cut our cake beautifully and got the leftovers wrapped and packed for us without having to be asked.
The food was incredible and satisfied everyone's tastes from the meat and potatoes folks to the gluten-free vegetarians. The value and quality of our sit down 4 course meal was far above what we payed for. The service was impeccable yet warm and friendly. Chef Papa treats you like family, and what more could you want on your wedding day! -

When my husband and I did our initial tasting with Chef Papa, we knew we weren't going to need to do any more after that because we had found the best food and the best price in town. We got to try so many different things at our tasting, and each was better than the next. We ended up selecting chicken and waffle skewers, antipasto salad kabobs, and scallop ceviche appetizers, plus a roast beef carving station, pecan-crusted salmon, chicken piccata, penne alfredo, green beans, and herb potatoes for dinner. Everything was DELICIOUS. Chef Papa was a gem to work with, especially since we ended up having to change our venue and our headcount. The staff at Chef Papa is so nice and so professional, and the food is so tasty and budget-friendly. Anyone having a wedding in the Daytona area should use Chef Papa as their caterer. -

User2154054 Sent on 05/29/2015If you have a complicated party - you must use this caterer. Chef Papa and his entire staff went out of their way to accommodate not only multiple food allergies but a diverse vegetarian, vegan, and meat eating wedding guests. Chef papa was very attentive and responsive to requests and questions all while adding in knowledge from his experiences. All of his suggestions and guidance paid off as the food was fantastic!
Oh and!!! You know how every one always says that the bride and groom never get the chance to eat at the reception? Well this was not the case for us! Chef papa's team brought the wedding party snacks from the cocktail hour while we took photos and cold water as the heat was unbearable. Then as we were seated, plates of food were brought out to us right away and to-go boxes were left in our room so we could grab a few bites later on. They truly thought of everything to meet the needs of not only ourselves but our families and wedding party! -
User1292397 Sent on 08/19/2013Chef papa provided the food for my cocktail hour and reception and it was absolutely amazing! Tom Papa worked with me directly to create a well rounded menu that had several options for my guests. We had a wide range of pallets to please, including meat-eaters and vegans and all had happy and full-bellies at the end of dinner. The staff were amazing and made sure that, as the bride, I always had something to eat - which really helped me to stay energized during my pictures and throughout the entire day. I would enthusiastically recommend chef papa to anyone who is looking for a top chef with a kind heart and a great staff!

Courtney Sent on 02/15/2011I absolutely recommend Chef Papa's Catering. Our menu options were fantastic; we had so many delicious choices, my husband couldn't decide. The food on wedding day was amazing; it was exactly what we wanted. We had so many compliments from our guests about the fantastic meal. Chef Papa and Staff went above and beyond to make sure our reception was perfect (and it really was). I can't say enough about the fantastic service and food at Chef Papa's!
