SMS exceeded our expectations. What stood out the most was how responsive Bob was from start to finish. Bob and his team did everything they said they were going to do, and even showed up early to begin setup. The food was tasty, hot and served with a smile. Our team members LOVED their Thanksgiving lunch! We also liked that they brought their own tables and set everything up perfect. We highly recommend SMS Catering Service. Thanks Bob and Team!

Mr. Freeman and his staff went above and beyond our expectations. They were prompt, courteous and extremely professional. The food was prepared in a timely fashion and they were ready to go at the exact time we requested. Bob stayed in constant contact with me throughout the whole process. I highly recommend and would give 10 stars if allowed. Use them for all your catering needs. You will not be disappointed

We were meant to have our party at this venue. It was absolutely incredible, and went off without a hitch. The food was excellent, and the venue was beautiful. We had wings, fried shrimp oysters, and the fruit tower. It was absolutely beyond anything I had envisioned. Beyond that, Robert and Bob made the planning process easy and enjoyable. They were responsive, flexible, and always professional, and went out of their way to accommodate any and all requests. I cannot recommend Sms Catering enough!

Wonderful dealing with Bob! We needed catering for a party 3 days away and he made it happen! Extremely professional and accommodating. Food was excellent, his son Robert came in and set up and Helen came and stayed until the end. I highly recommend this catering service and will certainly use it again. Thanks so much!

What an amazing meal for our wedding. We chose the Luau theme with roasted pig and it was beyond amazing. Not only that but their follow through and preparation prior to the event with multiple phone calls just. to check for any changes was wonderful. I had to change our date 3 times due to Covid and they worked with me each time. Highly recommend
