User2371404 Sent on 10/16/2015Stacy and Chad were great and my guests have raved about the food for weeks. In fact, most said it was the best wedding food they have ever had. We did a pig roast and I can say without a doubt it was the best I have tasted. The sides were really good too. -
User1472796 Sent on 12/14/2013I recently got married in Rockwood, Pa. Being from Pittsburgh, I had a really tough time finding a caterer that would go all the way out to Somerset (and not charge a small fortune to do so). When I came upon Bart's, I was so happy! I had very specific, seasonal items in ind for the menu, including a variety of vegetarian items (since I am a veg.). Stacey and the chef were great in planning and preparing the menu. we had amazing pumpkin soup shooters (which everyone raved about), bruschetta, baked brie, risotto, two different meat entrees, roasted vegetables, and more! Everything was delicious and dinner service was smooth. I wanted rustic, family style meal, and Just Ask Catering really came through.
In addition to very reasonable prices (the 4500 figure is an estimate and included everything- like dishes, flatware, barware, bar tenders, servers, taxes, etc.) and great food, I was really struck by how professional and accommodating Stacey was. As someone who worked in the restaurant business for years, I was really impressed! Stacey was really patient with me and all of my questions. She was especially great in managing last minute details and changes. I could go on and on about all of the ways that she went above and beyond (including setting out all of my cake centerpieces before the wedding!). Before talking with Just Ask, I was so annoyed by how impersonal and disinterested other caterers were! I was really pleasantly surprised by the difference with Just Ask! I would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a friendly, warm caterer that they can rely on for their wedding -
User907361 Sent on 08/21/2012Absolutely fantastic! There are truly no words to describe the artistic, magnificence of his food. His staff are professional and helpful. The salad looked like a waterfall! It had edible orchids in it and everything! Everything was reasonably priced and I had no issues getting a hold of the company or anything. Before we decided on anything, they set up a tasting. This tasting was unlike any others. It wasn't 2-3 bites of an item. It was the whole dish of several dishes! Whatever we couldn't finish, we got to take home!! Bart truly felt like family. I actually enjoyed talking with him on the phone discussing the details of the wedding and everything. Wondeful company & staff! Could not ask for anything better! Highly recommended!!! -

Denise Sent on 10/08/2012The things Bart's did well, they did really well. When they missed the mark, they really missed it.
Some things they did well:
* Worked around our schedules for tastings and other meetings (we were planning from out of town).
* They worked with us to create a custom menu that reflected our guests' dietary needs (we had many vegetarians and they provided us with great options for them).
* Service on our actual wedding day was great. I barely noticed them putting things up and tearing them down.
* Most of the food was DELICIOUS - we are still getting wonderful comments about the pumpkin soup shooters we had during cocktail hour.
Some things they could improve:
* I received a call the Monday before our Saturday wedding to confirm the menu. Thank goodness they called because they had two of the entrees wrong.
* We had on our menu chicken stuffed with cheese. I'm not sure they remembered exactly what we tasted back at our first tasting, but what we got on our wedding day was most definitely not it.
* We had on our invoice a line for "Bar Service." We believed this would cover everything but the alcohol for the bar. At our final tasting, we came to find out that it did not include mixers.
* We also had on our invoice a line for Soda. When we found out about the bar service, we were told that they also no longer offered pop/soda and it was mistakenly listed on our invoice.
Overall, the food was really good. However, make sure that you ask a lot of questions about exactly what is included and what is not and confirm everything on the menu in writing with them. -

Not good. Unprofessional, bad time management, bad communication skills.
Just Ask Catering catered my wedding. Terrible communication throughout the entire process, unprofessional, and showed up late to the venue. I gave a final count to her a week before the wedding of 175 and 159 showed up to the wedding (we purposely gave her a higher count so we knew we would have enough for the guests and leftovers to take home) and they ran out of food, a few guests did not get everything offered and a few guests didn’t get any food at all AND the food was different the day of the wedding than the food we had tried at the tasting and the adjustments we had made to the menu after the tasting. One of her servers broke my husband’s personalized champagne glass while they were picking up plates. Stacey said that she would pay us back for that, I have sent a request over Venmo and PayPal now and have yet to receive a payment. She claimed her “Venmo wasn’t working” it has been a week and a half going back and forth with her about this and she finally agreed to meet to give us a check, hope it goes through… Lastly, my family and I wanted to give her the final payment the day of the wedding, after dinner so we knew everything was up to our standards and we were provided with what she had promised BUT she said she has had problems in the past with clients not paying her the day of…. shocker.. I now know why, because she did not do her job! I am so upset that we gave her the final payment 5 days before the wedding (which was also a compromise, she wanted it 15 days prior to the wedding), we lost so much money on our end because she ran out of food but claimed that never happened. I was extremely disappointed by the way things were handled by them the day of the wedding. It’s very upsetting to think about how much time and effort I put into planning my wedding to make sure everyone had a good experience to only be let down because the trust you had in your caterer to do their job on your big day, did not. I absolutely do not recommend. Stacey is the most unprofessional person I have ever come across. You will be very disappointed if you go with Just Ask Catering for any event. -

I emailed to inquire about catering a rehearsal dinner. They wrote back and asked how many people. When I emailed them back I didn't hear back for over a week and emailed again. They finally emailed saying they would send me the information and never did. One week later of emailing yet again and still haven't heard anything. Very disappointing! I've heard they have poor communication from others who have used them as well.
