    Yummy in the extreme.

    I have nothing but good things to say about Devil's Food. From our initial tasting, we were smitten. Every single bite was delicious; our guests could not stop raving about the meal. Everyone we worked with was professional, kind, and accommodating, and no detail was left behind. Devil's Food even left us each a boxed meal at the end of the night, recognizing that couples often don't have time to eat a full dinner (which thankfully was not the case for us - I got to enjoy two dinners!!)

    Excellent Wedding Caterer

    Huge thanks to Dan and the incredible Devil's Food team! They catered our November 2022 wedding, and did a splendid job with it. From my first inquiry through to the big day, Dan worked with us to bring some unique ideas to life and to make sure it went off seamlessly. They were respectful of our budget and helped design a fantastic menu to suit. The food was delicious, and so many of our guests made a special point to say so! I would highly recommend Devil's Food for your next event.

    Excellent food and service!

    Food & drinks were one of our top priorities. It was very important to us that the food is tasteful, memorable, and satisfying to our 180+ guests. We asked for an asian fusion menu and they delivered above our expectations. We got to work with Dan who is very professional, patient, responsive, and accommodating. Dan gave the best recommendations and put together an excellent menu for us. The staff were kind and friendly which really add to our perfect day. We felt very well taken care of. We received so many compliments on the food, drinks, and service which make it all worth it! I highly recommend Devil's Food Catering for any event!

    Delicious Food and Excellent Service

    Fantastic! Dan helped us to put a menu together for our daughter's wedding. The food was delicious, service was impeccable, and Dan personally oversaw all. We couldn't be more pleased with our choice in a caterer.

    The best wedding food you'll ever have

    Food & wine were our #1 priority for our wedding experience (haha). Truly, though. Most wedding food is unmemorable at best, and we wanted something that would satisfy and delight our friends and family. We got that and much more with Devil's Food Catering!

    First of all, Emily is a dream. She is equal parts professional and fun. She was always so responsive over the many months of planning, and any question we had, she was able to offer options for. She gave us sound advice about numbers to keep wasted food and money down. And our tasting experience, which my parents joined us at, was SO much fun.

    Our guests are still talking about our food, that it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding.The fried chicken with hot honey is a MUST. We are so incredibly glad that we hired Devil's Food for our wedding, and I could not recommend them enough for any of your catering needs!

    Unique Flavors and Top Notch Service

    Wedding planner here and Devils food catering is my favorite caterer to work with! Anytime I have a client that tells me they want amazing service and unique and incredible food/menu... I bring them to DFC. NEVER disappointed when working with them. They always go above and beyond for my clients. I have had a number of clients who wants to have unique signature cocktails for their wedding. DFC arranged for a cocktail tasting so the couples could come in to try cocktails and select their signature drinks. They work so well with fusion menus and on a number of occasions have used inspiration from my client's cultures to create unique and amazing menus. Their service on wedding days is always top notch. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for catering for their wedding or event.

    Exceeded all Expectations!

    Our experience with James at Devil's Food exceeded every expectation. He is the most wonderful person to work with & the team was awesome on the day of our wedding and went above and beyond. The food was innovation, unique & absolutely INCREDIBLE. Service was amazing - nothing short of perfection. Our guests continue to rave about the quality of the food and service. We look forward to working with Devil's Food for other events!

    Beyond incredible

    Our catering experience with Devil's Food exceeded my expectations enormously! From the start of our planning process with Dan through the wedding and after, we have been so well taken care of. Dan dropped off a tasting menu at our house so we could sample before going with them, and then talked with us multiple times about making our vision come true. We had some odd requests (squeezy bottle cocktails as an homage to the bar where we first met), and Devil's made everything happen seamlessly. I cannot express enough how beyond delicious their food is! Our guests could not stop talking about not only how incredible the food was, but also about the impeccable service. Every team member was so professional, personable, and one of the bartenders even remembered all the guests' names! By far, they were the best wedding catering I've ever experienced and multiple guests said the same. Pro tip: put the fried chicken on your menu--you won't regret it!!

    Fantastic food and people!

    Devil's Food catered our wedding for 220 ish people on 8/7/21, and they were fantastic through the entire planning process. Dan was our senior event planner, and he was responsive and detail oriented, while still being a laid-back and calming presence. We changed our plan many times for Covid reasons, and Dan took it all in stride.

    Everyone who worked the event was so kind - several of our servers went out of their way to say congratulations to us. We had an insane amount of dietary restrictions and allergies, and they nailed every one of them and handled them all with grace.

    Most importantly, the food and cocktails were amazing, and people have been complimenting us since on how good our food was. Their menu options were extensive, and they were incredibly flexible and wanted to make our food and drink vision come to life. I would recommend Devil's Food without hesitation to anyone looking for the most delicious and stress-free catering experience!

    High Quality Catering

    Devil's Food catered our wedding in August 2019. Having excellent food was at the top of my list of wedding priorities, and Devil's Food was recommended by my wedding coordinator as being the best in the biz. We went on a few other tastings and Devil's Food was definitely a cut above the rest. We worked with James (who now owns the company) and he is truly one of the kindest and most professional wedding vendors we worked with. Our marriage is a fusion of American and Indian cultures, so it was important to us that our wedding food also reflected that. James came up with such a creative menu that showcased Indian flavors and spices while still being familiar and accessible to all of our guests. In the months leading up to the wedding, James was kind enough to invite us in for additional tastings to make sure that we liked the dishes he came up with. The food on our wedding day was somehow more delicious than we even remembered it from our tastings...and that's after being cooked for 150 people!! Our guests are still raving about the zatar crusted lamb chops! We also did our bar service thru Devil's Food and are so happy we did. Our signature cocktails were so delicious, they served wine tableside during dinner for even more personalized service, and James went out of his way to order certain whiskeys that I knew our guests would enjoy. I cannot say enough good things about our experience working with Devil's Food. They made this aspect of wedding planning so easy and enjoyable. If you want high quality catering that is customized to your needs, innovative and delicious, Devil's Food is the way to go.

    Every guest said it was the best wedding food ever!!!

    We had an amazing experience with Devil's Food Catering. From the start James really listened to what we wanted and came up with a very personalized menu for us. The tasting was fantastic, and the food at the wedding was amazing!! So many of our guests told us it was some of the best food they had ever had. They were easy to work with, professional, fairly priced, and delicious!!!

    Incredible food and easy planning!

    We worked with James and he was incredible. He was so easy to work with and made the planning process seamless. We loved being able to personalize our menu and feel like he was great in terms of working with our budget. Devil's Food was the best value for our budget and the food was unforgettable. (Try the polenta, our guests couldn't stop talking about it!).

    I highly recommend them if you don't want to worry about service or quality the day of your wedding.

    Thank you again for everything!
    xoxo

    Delicious, fun, and easy to work with

    Devil’s Food is simply the best, specifically Dan! He was so knowledgeable and knew the answers to all of our questions (and concerns). Their presentation (including the tasting) is so professional and on point, and it really illustrates their best-in-class service. All of the food was delicious and so many of our guests commented on how good it was. They also have so many interesting and unique options, and they were able to seamlessly pull off “family-style” dining, which is not an easy feat. Dan was so responsive and pleasant to work with, and he want out of his way to accommodate any requests we had. He even stayed late on the day of the wedding to be there for our arrival! Highly recommend - they are definitely the best!

    Our venue provided a short list of approved caterers from which to choose. We set appointments to do two tastings. When we had the tasting at Devil's Food we were blown away by how fabulous each menu item was. Not only that, but the tasting appointment itself was ideal- we were set up in a private dining room at their offices, served wine, and presented with some of the options we'd previously discussed - from appetizers to a light dessert. We were left to enjoy and discuss our impressions amongst ourselves as the meal progressed. My husband and I, (FOB & MOB) as well as the bride and groom LOVED it all! Fast forward to the wedding last Saturday: everything was perfect- delicious food and drinks, impeccable service, and amazing clean up after the reception. I have heard from so many friends that this was the best wedding food they have ever eaten, and maybe the best meal anywhere, ever! Lots of compliments on the appetizers, especially the Pakoras, and on the beef entree. (Our guests were amazed that the beef was perfectly prepared and served for about 170). And so many have mentioned the incredible service. All I can say is that it was everything we'd hoped for and dreamed of. Devil's Food is the best choice for any catering occasion! I want another party just to enjoy their food and service!

    We loved working with Devil's Food Catering for our wedding! Our initial tasting was fun, delicious and beautiful! Dan took the time to create a menu full of everything we wanted. All of the guests loved the food! Dan was easy to work with and extremely diligent and hard working. The staff did an amazing job setting up and cleaning up the event. I could not be more pleased with Devil's Food Catering!

    We worked specifically with Dan and he was awesome! He did a great job with walking us through the potential menu to explaining how everything would work logistically. Dan was also there on the day of the wedding and it was very comforting knowing he was in charge. Not to mention the food was phenomenal (pics attached). There was a good selection of different appetizers we could go with that were seasonally relevant and guest were able to choose between salmon, steak, and vegetarian for dinner. Hands down would recommend for any event, and especially a wedding!

    Devil's Food was wonderful. We chose them off the 'preferred caterers' list at our venue (Lewis & Clark) and are so glad we did. They put together a gourmet Taco Bar menu for us, and we both agreed that it was the best wedding food we have ever had! It had something for everyone, from our paleo guests to gluten free vegans to kids to folks who like to eat a lot of food. We bought our own alcohol and paid DF a corkage fee to serve it for us. Their staff was easy to work with leading up to the event, and their servers and bar tenders were so thoughtful and friendly. They were the biggest expense of our wedding, but very much worth it for excellent food and great service. Highly recommended!

    Devil's Food was on point and nailed every detail, even with the tricky venue. All the guests at our wedding, still to this day, can't stop complimenting the food. Their menu is top notch, with local flavors and seasonal options. Dan was amazing. Super easy to work with, extremely knowledgable, and provides great suggestions. During the wedding the team was always smiling, working hard, and very professional despite it being 80+ degrees and having to work with a big space. Thank you Devil's Food for such an awesome experience!!

    As a wedding planner, planning my own wedding was quiet the task. When it came time for my husband and I to select our caterer, we knew we had to have Devil’s Food. I have had the pleasure of working with Devil’s Food for many years now on behalf of my clients. I have always recommended them as they have exceptional food, amazing service and help make a wedding run smooth. When it came time for my own wedding, my expectations were exceeded. In working with James he designed a wonderful menu that featured local purveyors, he made recommendations as to where we could think outside of the box and in the end, made the food for our wedding a memorable piece.

    I knew they would do a wonderful job, but what I did not realize is how they handled everything with such grace and ease. We had a pretty large wedding but this did not stop them from making sure each guest felt like a VIP guest. After our wedding we heard from numerous people raving about the food, drinks and service. Devil’s Food helped make it all possible and I can’t recommend them enough!

    What more can I say - DFC was amazing. The food was fantastic, the staff were overwhelmingly helpful and kind. Our guests were blown away by their mac-n-cheese bar (who doesn't love mac topped with bacon, pesto, and caramelized onions??) James, the manager, was so accommodating and full of great ideas. DFC catered both our rehearsal and our wedding day and we highly recommend them to EVERYONE!

    James from Devil's Food is great to work with! During our tasting he really stood out to us because not only was the food we sampled AMAZING but he was not pushy and seemed to genuinely care about our wedding day. We were looking for food that was "regular people friendly," by this we mean food our family could recognize, but still delicious! Devil's food was just that! People raved about the food---including all the main courses and even the brussel sprouts! Who raves about brussel sprouts?! If you have the ones from Devil's Food you will! Throughout the whole process James was wonderful to work with---he was through and responded quickly. He was also incredibly helpful at getting our design of the room to the art museum, where the wedding was held. I know I made this a bit harder for him by not wanting the tables set up beforehand and out during the ceremony, but he didn't make me feel about it and and was very accommodating and flexible---i really appreciated this. I would highly recommend working with Devil's Food for your wedding if you want solid delicious food!!!!
