I ordered a variety of dishes for a family birthday gathering and everyone is still raving about the food weeks later. The standouts were the shrimp and grits, tomato pie, and key lime pie. Everything was fresh, flavorful and just delicious!

Their food is simply amazing. I have been ordering the family meals since the lockdown and they make it so easy. I love that I order the day before and then I don't have to cook. Pull up and they bring the food to my car. Last night I had the cheese raviolis in cream sauce. They were perfect. I could have drank the sauce. You won't be disappointed if you order.

From the starters to the desserts - Chicken salad, broccoli salad, the twice stuffed potatoes to the chocolate molten bundt cakes.the food is divine, the portions are generous and the customer service was beyond my wildest expectations. This will be my new go to for any party/gathering, special occasions or honestly, any old Wednesday night! YUM!

We used UFA to cater our wedding, and we literally could not be happier. April and her staff made us feel welcome for our tasting, and the food tasted exactly the same at our reception (a big worry of ours). Both my wife and I are from Texas, so finding a brisket we approved of was phenomenal. We love the food so much we will likely host a random event for our friends just to have UFA cater. If you don't contact them, my commiserations to your tongue.
