Thank you so much for the fantastic presentation, delicious food and wonderful service for our summer bbq/carnival event at American Express. Once again you were nothing short of fabulous!!! I have received nothing but great comments and kudos on the food. Thanks again for all of the hard work each of you put into this event. This is why I recommend you to EVERYONE I know.
We hired Fat Freddy's to cater our wedding 4/8/17. After reading literally 100's of reviews on catering companies I decided to contact Fat Freddy's and spoke with Kandyce. We did the taste testing and knew they were the ones.,We selected the Prime Rib carving station and chicken Marsala (the best chicken Marsala I have ever had) with Au gratin potatoes, grilled vegetables. For the vegetarians/vegans there was grilled eggplant (I was told by one of my vegan guests that the grilled eggplant was the best he had ever had, it was prepared to perfection), for the children attending the wedding, we did a kids buffet with chicken strips and macaroni and cheese and fruit salad. The quality of the food was outstanding and the quantity was incredible,. We had tons of leftovers and after our wedding reception was over a lot of our guests went back to our house and later in the night everyone was hungry and mac & cheese was what they all ate and every single adult said it was the best mac & cheese they had ever had. I have heard over and over again from my guests that the food was the best catered food they had ever had. If I ever need catering in the future I will always contact Fat Freddy's and will always recommend them to anyone needing catering. The professionalism every employee displayed during my wedding was on point and I am forever grateful. Thank you Fat Freddy's for making our wedding reception perfect!
Thank you so much for making my job so easy working with you. I hope I didn’t cause too many problems along the way. This was a wonderful experience and from all the feedback, and my personal experience noshing through the food, everything was raved over. The Po Boys were mentioned over and over. We will definitely be using you over and over. Great job by everyone; you all should be proud!
The food was very good and the pricing was good.
We have had full service and drop off service and all of it has been excellent. I just happened on Fat Freddy’s about 2 1/2 years ago. They have made my job so much easier in terms of catering. All I have to do is send an e-mail letting them know when, where and how many guests – they do the rest. Everyone is extremely easy to work with. I have had numerous compliments about the food quality and appearance. I appreciate everything about Fat Freddy’s!!
Our Christmas celebration consisted of 2 departments. On behalf of both departments, I would like to extend our sincere thanks and appreciation to your staff for your excellent service today. The food was just delicious; the quality was superb. The driver was right on time and did a great job! We all realize that it is quite a journey out this far so our choices are limited. We were very fortunate to find you on the web. We have your information and will keep it handy for our next event.
I highly recommend Fat Freddy’s for your next event! They catered an after wedding picnic in a park for us for around 75 guests. They arranged for linen rentals and took my centerpieces ahead of time to set it all up. The food was wonderful and they even worked with us to provide a meal for one guest with special dietary needs. Fantastic service in planning, execution and service. Thanks for making the day easy and fun!
We had a casual reception at our home. We had Slow Smoked Beef Brisket with Au Gratin Potatoes & Broccollini. All of my guest loved and raved on how tasty the food was. One person who normally hates au gratin potatoes actually came back multiple times for more. I would definitely have them cater my future events. And the staff was excellent. They set up w/o any supervision and placed everything so nicely. And the house was clean when they were done.
Thank you for making our Celebration Dinner such a wonderful, class-act event. The food was out of the ordinary and I heard rave reviews from our guests. Your staff was professional as a whole and most accomodating. You have the highest recommendation from us.
I just wanted to send a quick thank you for all your help filling our difficult order. Fred really came through for us when other companies ran and hid. Awesome job! I will recommend you to our other job offices and keep you in mind for our future events. Thanks again!
Our College wanted to host a Thanksgiving meal for our students. I contacted Fat Freddy’s without really knowing too much about them. However, not only did they give me the BEST price compared to other caterers in our area, they delivered on time, the delivery folks were professional and fast, and the FOOD WAS AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!! We were completely blown away by how good it was and all our students loved it! You definitely have our business in the future! THANK YOU for contributing to a worry free event!
Our Grand Opening was a great success. The food was excellent and service was AMAZING. We didn’t have to worry about it one bit. The staff was very courteous and quick; they made the night run smoothly. We will definitely remember Fat Freddy’s for future events. Thank you so much!
The event was a huge success! I’m so glad we chose you! The service was timely and professional, and the food was excellent, especially your mashed potatoes! Everyone asked who we got the food from, and everyone knows about Fat Freddy’s so hopefully you’ll be getting more business from us soon enough! Thanks again!
We had an unfortunate situation where we had to find a caterer last minute, and Fat Freddy's came through! They were very accommodating, had a great menu, and were very professional. Plus their prices were very competitive! They're everything you could want in a wedding caterer. A+!
We wanted to say thank you so much for all your assistance in ensuring our function ran as smooth as it did. Your guidance was gratefully received and the professionalism of everyone at Fat Freddy’s Catering was second to none. The quality of all materials supplied was superb and all the guests were highly impressed with how the evening went. I will certainly be recommending you to anyone requiring your expertise and, of course contacting you again should the occasion arise.
The staff was friendly & very professional, the buffet table was beautifully decorated to match the theme of our reception, but most important - the food was great. All of the guests commented on how good the ribs and mac & cheese were. I would highly recommend these guys to cater any of your events.
We want to thank Fat Freddy’s for two wonderful meals. The food was very tasty and just the way that I requested it, plus some. You guys went above and beyond. I received many compliments with both services. We will be using you for more events/ meetings to come.
Absolutely hands down BEST caterer in town! The brisket, chicken marsala and their creamy potatoes is still the talk of our wedding last weekend in DC Ranch. The staff were so attentive and so professional in every way. We couldn't have asked for a more splendid evening to be topped off with such a great tasting dinner!! Compared to other caterers in town we also found them to be one of the most affordable - and to win with taste and affordability is a 10 star review in our book!
We recently hired the services of Fat Freddy’s for our wedding and we were more than impressed. We actually cannot say enough good things about them. The food was excellent, but more importantly the service was outstanding. The staff worked so hard to make everything perfect, and they actually showed that they cared. We even had guests comment afterwards about how excellent the food and service was. If you are planning an event, call Fat Freddy’s. Don’t waste your time looking anywhere else, this company is outstanding!
I cannot say enough about Fat Freddy's. They did amazing job for my son & his brides special day, helping arrange the rentals and guiding us along the way. Did I mention the food? It was delicious! All of the guests enjoyed it and were very complimentary. I have to give a shout out to our servers, Heidi and Shea, who helped us out so much at the event.
Well done! Thank you so much!
Please allow this time for me to say how much I appreciated all the work you all did to make our special day so wonderful. The crowd raved over the Jerk/Chick (very tender/juicy), the salad dressing was wonderful (tangy and just the right zing), The fruit salad was so beautiful, and then the item that everyone just crooned over was your Bread Pudding drenched with the rum sauce – it was like heaven!!!
I am never disappointed with FFC; I've used them for this event 3 years in a row and the compliments never stop when they're on-site! Food is delicious and the service is excellent! I recommend them to everyone who asks!!
Fat Freddy’s was perfect! I am so glad we found them. They were super easy to work with, polite, informative, you name it and they were it. The food was delicious both at the tasting and at the wedding. A number of people raved about our food. The servers were very professional and quick. The quality of food and service was fantastic.
Last night was great!! The food was excellent and your staff was wonderful. I am VERY pleased and will definitely use your company again.
Thank you all for your work on our wedding on March 3rd. The food was excellent and I did not expect that beautiful presentation. The staff was so helpful and courteous; everybody has been raving about it. Thank you all so much for making our day beautiful!
Worked with us on the menu – very helpful – would definitely use in the future.
Thank you for the EXCELLENT service and food that you provided for our wedding! We were so impressed by the catering staff and the amount of caring and respect that they had for us and our guests. We highly recommend Fat Freddy’s for your next event!
We had our staff holiday luncheon celebration today (12/15/17) and the food and staff were very professional and friendly. Could not have asked for better service. Definitely a Five Star establishment. I received many compliments on how good the food was.
I wanted to Thank you and your team for providing us with an excellent meal and service yesterday!!! The delivery driver was very kind and helpful. We have had several compliments on the food; everyone enjoyed the burgers and hot dogs. Thank you for all your help and patience with us as we planned our event! We will definitely be passing your company’s name around the office and will keep your company in mind for any other upcoming events!
We ordered 5 Varieties of sandwiches and were not disappointed by any of them. The pasta salad was very tasty. I would recommend Fat Freddy's to anyone and would order from them for our next event. Great service. Prompt delivery. Fresh tasty food.
Wow!! When Fred told me his job was to make my job easier and better, he was not joking. The service and the food were all superb. Your professionalism and thoughtfulness is very much appreciated by everyone here. I hope we will work together in the future. Thank you all very very much.
I hired Fat Freddy's based on online reviews since I am in another state. The reviews were right, they were wonderful! My on site colleagues were very impressed with the food and the professionalism of the staff. If I ever need a caterer in the Phoenix area again I am definitely using Fat Freddy's.
Great to work with as well as very helpful in educating me in the best way to handle things in an area I was unfamiliar!! We will be back!
I have used Fat Freddy’s Catering 5 or 6 times in the past several years. Most recently they catered our company Christmas party on 12/10/2017. We had them prepare heavy hors d'oeuvres for about 50 people. Our employees raved about the food!
Fat Freddy’s menu is varied and creative. Their prices are fair. Darci works hard to accommodate every request and work within your budget. Their staff arrives early to set up and stays late to clean up. At the end of the night, your guests are asking the servers for a business card, your venue is spotless and the leftover food (if there is any) is packaged and moved to the refrigerator. Their slogan may be, “Never trust a skinny cook”, but you CAN trust Fat Freddy’s to deliver every menu item as promised, on time and artfully displayed.
I have worked with Fat Freddy's Catering for well over a decade. If you have not used their services, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?! Fat Freddy's Catering is by far the BEST catering business in the state of Arizona. I stand by that. They treat you like a member of the family. I have been in the business of Meeting and Event Management for almost 20 years. I have never worked with a caterer who provides me with such amazing menu options, always keeps my budget in mind, and provides onsite service that is by far the best in the business. They offer food options to fit every function, every theme and every palate. Never have I had a bad food review when Fat Freddy's catered an event. Kudos to the entire Freddy's team for your amazing service and passion. It truly shows.
I used Fat Freddy's for my wedding. Wedding Coordinator Kandyce was professional and went above and beyond her duties, helping me find affordable linens and offering decoration ideas. The day of the event, the servers stepped up and assisted in set up and clean up, which wasn't even part of their catering duties.
Please pass on our congratulations to a job that was extremely well done by your entire staff! Robin and I along with Mike and Janna and their families raved about the food and were very pleased with all aspects of the presentation and service. Your captain was very responsible. He anticipated every single need of the evening and all of the staff went out of their way to be helpful and assist us in any way that they could. All services were delivered in a manner that was timely and professional.
Fat Freddy's catered our company Christmas party. 200 guests
The food was amazing and the service was top notch. Would use them again in a heart beat.
We fully enjoyed our wedding meal catered by Fat Freddy's. The buffet area was set up beautifully matching our theme, and on time for dinner. The food was delicious and memorable. We would definitely recommend Fat Freddy's for any event.
Thank you for the wonderful job your staff did. The food was amazing and I was even told it was the best wedding food they have ever had! Your staff was very nice and I’m glad you served us on our big day.
Just a quick note to thank your for the expert service at my daughter’s wedding. I couldn’t have been more pleased and impressed. The food was wonderful. I kept hearing, This food is so good, This is the best food ever and Joyce, you planned the perfect wedding. I was taking all the credit when in reality, it belonged to Fat Freddy’s Catering. You are truly the very best.
Thank you so much. The food was fantastic. Everyone thought it was delicious and wonderful. We were very happy with the Caribbean menu. It was a perfect theme after our beach wedding/honeymoon in the Virgin Islands. Thank you again. You guys were great. We will highly recommend you to anyone needing catering! You did an outstanding job… BRAVO!!!
Fat Freddy's carered our daughters wedding this paat weekend and EVERYTHING was amazing! From the food to the service. They also cleaned up the tables agyer everyone was done eating. That wasnt even part of our contract. Such polite people. Will definately recommend them.
Thank you to all of the crew @ Fat Freddys!
I was very pleased and would refer them to friends & clients.
Just wanted to thank you and your team for a wonderful lunch. I just happened to stumble upon your website when doing a search for caterers and I’m glad I did. I heard from my group that the lunch was thoroughly enjoyed. In fact, so much so, that the next member in this group’s whose turn it is to buy/cater lunch for the next meeting said he was going to use you guys as well! Good job and thanks for making us look good.
We were very impressed and happy with the servers you sent. There are not enough words. I wish I could remember all their names. They did an outstanding job. Everyone enjoyed the food (which was delicious). You staff was so calm, organized and friendly. The tables were set up beautifully. No one was ever in need of anything because one of the servers was right at hand. They even went out of their way to do things I didn't expect. In all the chaos of the past couple of days it was so nice to sit back and just enjoy being and not worry about a thing. It is the best service I have ever seen.I have already referred Fat Freddy's to several people and you can bet you will here from us again. Thanks so very much for everything.
Fat Freddy’s really came to the rescue for us. We planned an outside event and got poured on! However, Fat Freddy’s had a great attitude the whole time and made the necessary changes to move our party of 80 inside at a private residence and still have a fantastic time. The food was delicious, the service was excellent, and the employees were a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend their services for these reasons.
I wanted to let you know that everything went great this weekend. The food was awesome everyone that came out to work was very helpful. We will definitely be in touch for future events. Thanks again.
