I highly recommend their casseroles. Pop in the oven and and dinner is ready! Their desserts are"to die for". Our professional group orders lunch from Catering by George at least once a month. I love the variety from salmon to mexican casserole. Thanks Kim!

I scheduled an office delivery for breakfast, pastries and fruit. It was not good. The pastries were similar to those dry old things you buy at the grocery store and the fruit tray was too small, not enough fruit for the number of servings charged. I do not recommend them.
