I cannot say enough good things about the vendor. From the food to the presentation, everything was beyond perfect. Ron & his team are absolutely amazing. My guests loved the food so much & are still talking about it 3 months later. We have been told countless times it was the best wedding food they have ever had. Ron was available for all questions and concerns we had, especially during this uncertain time.

His team was professional and courteous the entire event. We are looking for any excuse to have a party just so we can hire them again! If you want an out of this world meal for your wedding or event, do not hesitate to book Clambakes of Connecticut. You won't regret it!

My initial contact with Clambakes of CT was great, but after booking things went downhill. I was told I would be contacted a week before our event to confirm details (an at-home wedding of 20 people) and that never happened so I had to reach out. The actual food and service was extremely disappointing. Food was bland (grilled steak, salmon, and vegetables), one of the staff was not vaccinated, they disposed of grease by dumping it on our driveway/lawn, very poor timing in terms of getting the food cooked and ready to go.

I had to add an extra hour with our photographer because the appetizers and dinner were so delayed. Huge discrepancy with receiving various invoices. Edit: I was contacted multiple times by the owner to take down my review.

Clambakes of CT did an excellent job with our anniversary event. All the dishes were perfect and the 2 employees were flawless. We rescheduled from last year and they were happy to accommodate. We heartily recommend them!

I just got clam bakes to go for my birthday! It was great the owner gave us the instruction on how to cook everything. They included everything from plates, crackers napkins to salad, rolls, the entire clam bake in a can. And watermelon and cookies. I would totally recommend to anyone

We used Clambakes of CT to cater our wedding. From the moment we contacted them with our proposal for our wedding we knew we had the right company. The Cohn family was very professional. They helped us plan the event, and provided full setup the day of our wedding. The food was phenomenal! We continue to receive compliments on our wedding meal weeks after the event. I highly recommend Clambakes of Connecticut for your wedding or large party, especially if you are doing most of the planning yourself.

New owner and business location. Location is perfect for my 50+ guests for a 50th wedding anniversary. We were allowed to decorate which was a big plus.

Attended a wedding catered by Clambakes of CT. It was just okay. Meat was overcooked, no condiments for the raw bar, didn't clean up properly. I would not recommend them.

Food was very good - there simply wasn't enough of it. I made the mistake of telling them a day before that my numbers had dropped - we agreed that since the $$ wouldn't go down, that I would have that number of dinners provided at the end of the evening as leftovers. This did not happen. I got a plate of mashed potatoes - and that was all. I felt cheated - and my guests felt hungry.

Great barbeque place indeed! If you're a barbeque lover, then you'll definitely enjoy lunch here! Their collard greens are delish! The place is small, but very cozy. There is a variety of briskets, barbeque, and chicken! Their sauces are homemade, and so is their breads and cornbread. Definitely good eats and very inexpensive!

Wow I don't even know where to begin all the wonderful things to say about Ron and his staff at clambakes of ct! They catered our wedding this past Friday June 26 2015 at the cabin at wickham park in Manchester, CT. To say the least they definitely went above and beyond!! They were so friendly, professional, and easy to work with! They did even more than what was asked just to make our day even more special. And on top of all of it the food was absolutely phenominal!!! Ron I cannot thank you and your staff enough! We are so happy we chose you and will recommend you whenever we can!:)

Ron and his staff did an amazing job catering our daughter's wedding this past Friday at Wickham Park. Their attention to detail was noticed and appreciated not only by my husband and I but also by all of our guests. We ordered the Standard Texas BBQ menu but let me tell you, there was nothing standard about that menu. The food was delicious and the presentation was beyond my expectations. Ron was very helpful to me throughout the afternoon and evening with last minute details and decisions.

Our daughter and son-in-law knew what they were doing when they chose Clambakes of Connecticut as the caterer for the most important day of their lives. I would recommend this caterer to anyone for any special event. Thank you Ron!
