Rode's Catering

I had an amazing experience working with Rodes catering. I had them do my sons first birthday party. I was planning this event from out of state and It was easy to speak with them and they worked with me and made this experience so memorable. The food not only looks and smells great but it tasted wonderful! I will definitely plan future events with them. 10/10

Bravo Rode's Catering! Ordered BBQ for an outdoor engagement party. Food was plentiful, fresh and delicious. Drop off delivery was on time by a courteous helpful staff member. Alyssa at Rode's was quick to respond to our calls and emails during planning. Can't wait to use Rode's again.

Ordered food for a small family gathering. Everything was outstanding! I thought I'd have plenty of leftovers but it was not the case! The fried chicken in particular was a HUGE hit! I highly recommend and will be ordering again!

Attended a event here in the barn. The food was amazing! Mac and Cheese, string beans, baked chicken, barbecue pork, and the most delicious, moist cornbread. Shelly was awesome! Loved the experience! Recommend you give it a try!

We recently held our wedding there and everything was perfect! The food was delicious, drinks were flowing, and they catered to every ask with a smile. The place inside and out was absolutely beautiful. We highly recommend Rodes Barn & Catering.

My fiance told me someone mentioned Rodes Barn for a location to have our possible reception there. There communication is zilch, after emailing at least 3 times and calling no one contacted me with any type of information. Whoever is in charge of their website and checking emails need to do a better job.

Tried to buy case's of ribs and chicken, said they would call me the next morning with prices but never did, I tried calling again got answering machine and never got a call back.

Once we stopped playing phone tag, Rode's was very accommodating. After reviewing their website, I gave them my planned menu and rather than just accepting it, they discussed options to keep the variety i wanted without over-extending the menu or the price. We finalized the menu and the count, and again, they reassured me there would be enough food instead of trying to increase the cost.

I chose delivery only; they were punctual and quickly set it up. The guests raved about the food! As I was promised, there was plenty! Should i ever need catering services again, I will definitely contact them.

I've been trying for at least 2 months to get everything squared away for my wedding which is this October. I was told that they could cater my wedding and that they would be getting an estimate and emailing it to me. I waited a week and heard nothing. Called again and was promised an update and yet again heard nothing. I've called, emailed and my mother inlaw has done the same with little to no response.

Finally my mother inlaw visited the place itself and found out that I wasn't even in their system! I gave them the benefit of the doubt because I know they are short staffed like everyone else but this is inexcusable, I'm very upset about this. If you as a caterer are that overwhelmed please don't promise things that you can't do. Luckily I was able to find another caterer on such a short notice and will be proceeding with them.

Rodes provided the food for a bridal shower I hosted at Independent Spirts Distillery and they did and awesome job. They provided delivery and set up which was a huge help. Allysa was more very accommodating with changes I wanted to make and the food was delicious and lots of it. I highly recommend them and will absolutely use them in the future.

Critical:Responsiveness They were quick to give quote but never returned calls or emails to confirm booking. Had to choose another caterer. Very dissatisfied

I celebrated my PhD last night in this excellent restaurant. Well we had a tremendous evening and the place was evidently one of the reasons for this happy celebration. The team contributed in a lovely style, the cooking was tasty and my guests were very pleased. We shall surely visit again for more celebrations. thanks very much.

Rode's has been around for as long as I can remember and they recently catered my Leap Year Sweet Sixteen birthday party. It was fantastic! The food was phenomenal as well as the presentation, the servers professional and efficient, and Emily the bartender was great. We had a whole roasted pig and the servers said guests went up for seconds and thirds!

Everyone commented how good the food was! Alyssa was extremely helpful with the planning details and offering suggestions. A family run business keeping the tradition of excellent food and service!

My wedding was PERFECT AND AMAZING, and that was a direct result from the care, concern and attention to every little detail put forth by Alyssa, Kaila and all of the Rodes' staff. First, let me address the communication. It wasn't perfect in the beginning, because Alyssa was literally in the process of having a baby. Since I am NO Bridezilla (or self-absorbed moron with delusions of grandeur) I understood this.

And in short order, the communication was flowing; things got done, and done right.and the result was a perfect wedding. The food was OUT OF THIS WORLD. Now, let me also say many of my guests work in NYC and eat in the finest restaurants. They know good food. This was GOOD FOOD. Every little detail was taken care of and I cannot thank this crew enough for their time and attention to detail. Rodes was also an amazing value.

For what we paid, and what we received? NO better value anywhere. Period. I would STRONGLY suggest Rodes Barn for weddings. The place was so beautiful. And we will absolutely go back for dinner.

Best! Wedding! EVER! Rodes knocked it out of the park. Thank you for the best night. We loved everything so much, especially the food!

I just cannot say enough good things about Alyssa and her staff. They catered our wedding for 200 people a few weeks ago in Brigantine NJ and the food and service were phenomenal! In the past weeks so many friends and family have told us how great the food was and how much they enjoyed it! I filled up early on all of the delicious appetizers but still got to taste the amazing short ribs, mac and cheese, & roast pork.

If we ever throw another large party we will definitely be calling Rode's Catering, their food was great, service was outstanding, and their prices are very reasonable for the quality of service.

We had our wedding at Rode's barn and used Rode's catering. We had a few different food options, the brisket and a chicken and people still talk about how delicious our food was! They were super accommodating for our two guests that needed vegan options and were amazing to work with! We visit Rode's restaurant still because of our amazing experience!

Poor customer service! I wouldn't even say the food was okay. Just blah. Not to mention they also never returned a deposit on a cancelled event. Due to unfortunate life events such as cancer not even that warrants a refund with these people apparently! They have yet to rectify the situation and are not even answering emails or phone calls. Disgraceful way to handle a terrible situation!

Have a heart we are human and sometimes really crappy things happen that warrant you to void out a black and white contract! Rather than make an already terrible circumstance even more frustrating and heartbreaking for a young cancer patient how about you do them and yourselves a favor and make this right. A full refund is the least you can do to make this right for all! Get on the ball and ask Alyssa and the rest of your event staff why this is even still an ongoing issue? #fullrefund

Rode's was great! I wanted to have a pig roast and researched a few different places, both pick-up and on-site roasting. The on-site roasters were between $17 and $25 per person, minimum 50 people. The party I was planning was for around 30 people, so this was both too big a pig and too much money for me. Rode's, on the other hand, allowed for any size pig, a set $175 roasting fee plus the cost of the pig (~$3.40 per pound at the time I bought it), and were responsive through email and on the phone.

They gave me the recommendation for the size of the pig, too. I ordered the pig a week in advance, set a pickup time for the day of the event, and picked it up at their shop down in Swedesboro. It was a delicious pig, very well received by all the guests, and we had some leftovers for ourselves. If I do this type of event again, I'd definitely do it with Rode's.

We booked Rode's for our Employee Appreciation luncheon for our staff in office. From the start, I knew we made a good decision. I was the go between with Rode's (Alyssa) and the higher ups in our corporate office. Alyssa not only worked with me with building our menu but was patient while we waited for corporate to approve everything. It made my job of booking everything that much easier.

At the last minute (seriously, the day before) we had some employees share that they are vegetarian and GF, I shot Alyssa and e-mail and she was more than accommodating with me to supply us with 2 meals for them so they could enjoy our luncheon as well. Day of was perfect. Their driver got a little lost but was professional by calling us and giving us the heads up.

They supplied us with everything. The food was delicious and there was SO MUCH. Our employees were able to take home leftovers to enjoy later. I would recommend using them for anything and will definitely keep them in mind for our holidays parties and even for personal parties of my own. Events are simple and delicious when you book with them.

Rode's did a fantastic job at my son's wedding! They helped them out from the start. Thanks for a wonderful meal which helped make a Super day!

The first time that I tasted food from this place was at a kids parry about 10 years ago where they had been hired to cater. There's a lot of crappy BBQ places out there stealing money, but this business isn't one of them. Their smoked chicken is off the friggin hook, even without the sauce if you choose to have it on the side. Everything that they make is pretty good.

I stopped in their small lunch cafe that's open during the week recently for lunch and had a pretty solid meal. The special for the day was buy one side, get another for free. Win/win. Mac and cheese was great. I don't get here often, but I am a fan.
