Very professional. Provided compostable silverware and delicious vegetarian options. Sidewalk Salads received the most praise from anyone we've ever catered with. They will be our new go-to for every function!

I am not easy to please! We hired Sidewalk Salads to cater our wedding at the Thalatta Estate in Palmetto Bay on November 4 2017. Their food is DELICIOUS and they did a fantastic varied menu with tons of options for a VERY reasonable price. Aaron and his very professional and friendly staff were nothing short of superb. I never leave reviews for anyone and I certainly never leave a 5 star review but I'm telling you they truly deserve this one. Aaron is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and he made my husband Jake and I feel so calm and confident that everything would be take care of, we never had to worry! All our guests LOVED every single thing on the menu and Aaron really helped us throw the wedding our of dreams. Don't hesitate - you will not find a better company to cater your event!

I've ordered from Sidewalk Salads several times over the past year and I have to say that I have never ever been disappointed! In the past, i've placed lunch delivery orders for events taking place at the agency I work for, but the the most recent order was delivered this past Friday and it was for the holiday party of one of the boards I sit on. I ordered delicious chicken breasts stuffed with goat cheese and chorizo, a salad and rice with sun-dried tomatoes.
Everyone was extremely pleased with all of the dishes. The delivery was timely and efficient! I would not hesitate to order from Aaron again. Sidewalk Salads is my go-to for all of my catering needs!
