This company did the lunches for our annual Salmon Derby and did a great job. I will definitely use again.

Very difficult to get information from Jimmy and takes days to respond to questions and requires 2-4 follow ups. Jimmy expected us to be okay with paying almost $1200 more total for 21 less people than original quoted (went from $27.98 per person at 80 people to $52.98 per person at 59 people) when he would have to buy less food and then said I was telling him how to run his business when I questioned if that was correct.
I understand the cost per person would go up some for less people but for the overall total to go up with less food costs was not rational to me. We mutually agreed to not move forward with booking but found the quote and contract review process to be very unprofessional and disorganized. DO NOT RECOMMEND. There are lots of local venue with professionals running their venue and catering programs in the Tacoma area that are at lest logical and respond timely.

Taste of the Town Catering has surpassed my every expectation today. We hired them for a Thanksgiving party for 70 guests, with only about 2 weeks notice. They gave us a very fair price, they showed up 30 minutes ahead of schedule, they had beautiful, polished stainless warmers, Kelly served the food, she was so professional and so personable, and she even went around to the tables and cleaned up, offered drinks, and chatted with the guests.
She really made our party an amazing event and made everything so easy on us, all we had to do was show up. The food was AMAZING! I had a guest tell me this was hands down the best Thanksgiving meal she has ever had! I put a lot of faith in Taste of the Town Catering, and could not be happier with that decision. They will be our go to caterers from now on, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU Taste of the Town Catering and Kelly!
