Reviews for Fat Freddy's Catering




Great menu, easy to work with. They are creating a kids menu for us also. Feeding 150 people and they are working with our budget. They are doing everything also, not just serving food. Also cutting the cake and serving the drinks. It's indeed a money saver.
GUEST




We were extremely pleased with Darci and the event staff. The food was delicious! Our only complaint was that we thought we have leftovers...but so many people went back for seconds that there weren't any. I would highly recommend Fat Freddy's.
GUEST




Darcy at Fat Freddy's Catering was a joy to work with. They came as a recommendation from a Christmas party. Fat Freddy's is very customer service oriented and wants to make sure the food for your event is exactly what you want. All the food was cooked to perfection, tasted fabulous, was well proportioned and my guests were pleased as well. We did not have the luxury of a wedding cordinator and when it came to the caterer, there was no need. Everything was well taken care of and worry free.

Fat Freddy\'s did an AMAZING job for our wedding! The food was fabulous and everything tasted better than I remembered! Everyone enjoyed the food and they are still telling me how good it was. Fat Freddy\'s is not only delicious but incredibly affordable!

Be sure to read the brochure and information provided so you will know what you need to do on your end for the caterers. Otherwise they take care of everything. Also if you are able to do a taste testing it is a great experience. You get to try some of the selecftions they offer plus meet some of the staff. This is the content of a letter I wrote to Fat Freddy's - Phoenix, AZWe 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.
GUEST




Fat Freddy's was prompt however our event for 200+ was running a little late and the servers stayed right on top of the time frame, they were ahead of the crowd for service and everyone at our event raved about the quality of the food and service. We could not have been happier with the whole experience. We have the dinner annually and everyone agreed we would have Fat Freddy's cater in 2012.

From planning to serving, Fat Freddy's made our day spectacular! Darci was wonderful to work with, she made multiple changes for us and answered every question with a clear and quick response. We attended several tastings with them, leaving each time more impressed.The food was delicious and plentiful! The presentation was elegant and when it came time to invite guests to eat, the servers were wonderful and friendly. All of my guests were delighted with the meal of apricot mango chicken, beef brisket au jus, mashed potatoes and salad. The brisket and the mashed potatoes were the stars- our guests were raving about them! The servers were professional in both appearance and conduct and worked quietly and efficiently. After we intially cut the cake, they had it served up in no time and offered the guests all that they liked. The venue itself had some snafus but Fat Freddy's went above their jobs and did extra things to make things run smoothly, I appreciated that they did these things even though it wasn't their job. Fat Freddy's doesn't just provide delicious food; they are also thoughtful and caring. I loved that the servers whipped up two huge to-go boxes for my husband and I to take for the honeymoon and had them ready without having to ask. It was a surprising and wonderful touch. I am so happy that we chose Fat Freddy's and I will continue to sing your praises to everyone!

Fat Freddy's did not disappoint! The food and service were simply amazing! We recieved so many compliments from our wedding guests about how much they LOVED the food. We went with a 2 entree Caribbean meal and loved everything about it. No complaints at all. I would recommend Fat Freddy's for any event that needs catering. They were so professional and a pleasure to work with. Thank you Fat Freddy's for being a part of our special day!

Fat Freddy's did a wonderful job with my daughter's wedding on 11/14/09. The staff was courteous and professional and were right on top of everything from the set up,to the cake and to the left overs. I would definitely use Fat Freddy's again for any occasion. I got a ton of compliments on how delicious the food was and how polite the staff was. Darci was wonderful with helping with the bride's choosiness with the salad and accomodated her wonderfully to make her day special. The groom loved the food and said he could make a meal on the garlic mashed potatoes alone. Thank you for making a special day memorable.
GUEST




The food for our wedding was SO good. We've gotten compliments on the quality of the food. Fat Freddy's was also very easy to work with. My emails were responded to promptly and courteously. We attended a tasting prior to booking them, and the fee for it went towards our total payment. The other thing I really liked is that they didn't charge a cake cutting fee (but I did have to rent cake plates since they weren't included in the china rental). Their prices were very competitive, especially for the quality. I would definitely recommend Fat Freddy's to anyone planning a party.
GUEST




We did an Herb Roasted Chicken Breast and Beef Brisket with the garlic mashed potatoes. The food was amazing especially the garlic mashed potatoes! Still to this day I get told by our wedding guests how good the food was. Not only was the food amazing but the staff was amazing also. They are so flexible and willing to help where ever the help is needed. The staff are all very hard workers and make it so all you have to do is sit back and enjoy your day.
GUEST




Could not have been more pleased with Fat Freddy's. Great food, great service, and great price. Everyone absolutely loved it. I guess what they say is true, "Never trust a skinny cook!"
GUEST




Great food, nice servers, and awesome help. Fat Freddy's was the way to go for our garden wedding.
GUEST




Fat Freddy's is the best food you could ever have at a party. We had beef brisket, chicke, mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, rolls, everything at our reception and it all tasted amazing! Fat Freddy's even matched the buffet table decorations to my wedding colors! Renata is so wonderful to work with when planning your menu and the team that works your reception are all amazing! They were so nice to all of the guests and truly made the night like we were in a 5 star restaurant!
GUEST




Fat Freddy's catered my daughters wedding and they were phenomenal!! If I ever have another need for a caterer I will definitely use Fat FreddyÂ’s. I will be passing on to all my friends what great food and staff you have working for you. Again, please pass my heartfelt thanks to Dan who was wonderful and for making my life and the wedding reception flow smoothly.
GUEST




Fat Freddy's catered our after wedding open house and it was phenomenal! I was most concerned about how the food would taste, and my husband was most concerned about the presentation. As particular as we both are, we were both blown away! Renata told me we wouldn't need to worry about a thing the night of the event, that Fat Freddy's staff would take care of everything... and she was so right! The food was excellent, and the staff was incredibly professional and attentive. Every one was impressed! I highly recommend Fat Freddy's, and hope to use their catering services again.
GUEST




Fat Freddy's did an awesome job! They completely took care of everything and I didn't have to worry about anything! The food was great and we had many compliments on it. Renata was so great in assisting with whatever I needed and was very flexible. I really appreciate the service and would recommend them to anyone.
GUEST




Fat Freddy's catering was awsome from the beginning. I initially contacted them because of thir great prices- my husband and I attended two different taste testings- all of the food that we tried was amazing, and the staff was always very friendly. During the wedding, the servers were very professional and took great care of my husband and I- not to mention everyone loved the food. Thanks for everything- I highly recommend Fat Freddy's catering!
GUEST




We just got home from our honeymoon and wanted to drop you a note and say "Thanks" for all your help, from the first phone call to the final selections Fat FreddyÂ’s treated us as good friends. The food was superb, we had the full service Hors D'oeuvre and many guests commented on the great food and selection. The crew was prompt and went above and beyond anything we expected and extremely helpful. Fat Freddy's helped make our wedding day great!
GUEST




The Fat Freddy's team was marvelous from start to finish. The food and service was impeccable. I would highly recommend them and plan on using them in the future for other events.Tina
GUEST




Fat Freddy's food was wonderful. Our guests loved the food. We look forward to eating some left overs. =D
GUEST




We could not say enough about the wonderful service we received from Fat Freddies for our wedding in May. The excellent service began from the very beginning when we were first exploring various caterers in the area. Darci of Fat Freddies quickly got us linked up with Renata and from there Renata took care of everything we could have asked for and much more. She assisted us in finding a plan that was within our budget and was always prompt, professional and personal in her correspondence with us. The dinner was amazing! Our guests commented that they went for seconds and thirds! We highly recommend Fat Freddies to anyone seeking catering services. Thanks again to Renata and everyone else at Fat Freddies for making our wedding day a special one.
GUEST




Fat Freddy's provided excellent food and service for our wedding reception. We appreciated their willingness to work with us in creating a menu and staying within our budget.
GUEST




Fat Freddy's is an amazing company to work with. They met the needs of everyone at the wedding party and of myself, being a very picky eater. The food was awesome and is still being talked about 5 months later. They offered as many taste testings as needed and really worked with us to pick out the perfect menu. Thanks for everything!
GUEST




Fat Freddy's was AMAZING!!!! The food was excellent, all the guests were raving about it! The staff was very professional and very helpful. They were able to coordinate with the colors of the wedding. I was shocked by how beautiful the food table was, the presentation was unbelievable. I could not have imagined using anyone else for catering, Fat Freddy's did an excellent job and added a special touch to the reception! THANKS!
GUEST




Everyone at Fat Freddy's was a pleasure to work with leading up to the wedding and during the reception! The crew that served our wedding was outstanding. Even several of our guests told us how pleased they were with the food and the customer service. All of the staff went out of their way to make us feel comfortable, they were friendly and joked around with us and our guests, and they even prepared a "doggy bag" for us to take home after our reception. I would highly recommend Fat Freddy's for any event. Don't even waste your time looking elsewhere, go with Fat Freddy's!!!
GUEST

GUEST




Exceptional! Fat Freddy's is amazing! The food was great, and the service was exceptional! We really appreciated thier recommendations for set up. We highly recommend Fat Freddy's.
GUEST




I highly recommend Fat Freddy's to anyone who is looking for catering service. The catering plans we had arranged for our daughter's wedding, prior to contacting Fat Freddy's, fell through 2 months before the wedding. In a state of panic as a clueless mother-of-the-bride, I began calling random caterers. I am so grateful that I found Fat Freddy's. My contact, Renata, was so kind, calming, accomodating, knowledgable, and professional. She helped me get the plans back on track and went above and beyond what I expected from a caterer in walking me through the reception plans. On the night of my daughter's reception, we were not disappointed. The service was amazing, the food was delicious, the table presentations were beautiful, and we did not have to worry about one thing. Everything was taken care of so we could enjoy our daughter's perfect wedding reception. All of this was accomplished within a very reasonable budget. It was a pleasure to do business with the Fat Freddy's staff. They were an important contributor to my daughter's happy memories of her wedding day.
GUEST




Fat Freddy's was amazing. The service and quality were outstanding!!!
GUEST




I had to fire my caterer (AJ's on Central) three weeks before the wedding, so was on a frantic search to find a replacement. Renata from Fat Freddy's stepped in and quite literally saved the day! She set up a tasting and helped us choose a perfect menu for the theme we had selected. The food was absolutely delicious, and the service was impeccable. My friends and family are still talking about the food! I couldn't believe how smoothly everything went, especially on such short notice. I can't wait until the next opportunity to throw a party so I can hire them again!
GUEST




Fat Freddy's did a fantastic job at our wedding. The flood was great and the quality of it was out of this world! Many of our guest complimented on the how the delicious the food was They're very easy to work with.
GUEST




The food was awesome and is still being talked about it. Even several of our guests told us how pleased they were with the food and the customer service. food was absolutely delicious
GUEST




Fat Freddy's did an awesome job! They completely took care of everything and I didn't have to worry about anything!
GUEST




The food was so good our guest raved about it to us. The only thing that happened, and I didn't realize it until several weeks after the wedding is the mash potatoe we chose were not there for some unknowns reason. But all the other food was DELICIOUS.
GUEST




I highly recommend their service. Out of all our vendors, they shinned. The food was great, the cost was reasonable. We paid for a buffet with attendants. The two young men who showed up were on time, quick and quiet to set up, and highly courteous to our guests.
GUEST




These guys really know what they're doing. They are professional and give a very high quality service. Their food was also great. I had Chicken Rosetta, which is similar to a Chicken a la Vodka pasta. Sooooo good! Their marina chicken was just OK. All of the servers were really on their game and were very attentive! In fact, they were a little too attentive at times. The only reason I gave them a B+ instead of an A is because several of my guests commented that the servers started clearing away unfinished bar drinks preemptively. Now yes, it was an open bar. But still- what a waste! But other than that one small thing- Fat Freddy's was fantastic and I do recommend them!
GUEST




Fat Freddy's and Darci were great. Darci was super patient with my fiance and I throughout the whole process. My fiance (well, husband now :) attended one of the tastings that Fat Freddy's regularly holds ( we highly recommend that you attend one) and loved their food. We had them serve passed appetizers during cocktail hour which our guests very much appreciated.Dinner service was great also- everyone really loved the food and the wait staff was great. I am a vegetarian so they made me my own special plate of delicious mushroom ravioli. We would recommend Fat Freddy's to any of our friends and family!!
GUEST




they were very flexible in working w/me in types of food, cost and timelines.
GUEST




They did an amazing job, were helpful, affordable and great food to top it all off!!

The food was great, delivered on time, the man who delivered was very nice and proffessional. Sometimes the receptionist in the main office came off a bit snippy. However, the food was excellent.
GUEST




For our May 2007 wedding reception, Fat Freddy's delivered. The price was within our budget for our 50 person reception. We had both chicken and a vegetarian dish and they were able to handle a special request for the rice side. They provided china, glassware and flatware. They even gave us a choice of napkin fold (we choose the the bird of paradise). The captain and server arrived on time and stayed until the cake was served (which was at no extra charge). The food was wonderful. My husband and I are usually picky when it comes to food and Fat Freddy did an excellent job. Many of our guests were impressed by the quality and taste.
GUEST




Their food was gross! It was bland and everything tasted the same.
GUEST




All of our wedding guests loved the food. The only bad thing is that the servers threw away the inside of our cake stand, which we were supposed to return to get a refund from the cake vendor, it was partly our fault for not telling them to save it. Fat Freddy's did not offer any compensation for this, which would have only cost them $25, or even $12.50 if they would have offered to pay half and would have been a nice gesture considering we gave them over $2000 for their services. I would still recommend them to people though.
GUEST




The food was awesome. So much so that I asked the considerable leftovers to be boxed up. Sure, he said. But to my dismay it was not done and we had no food to eat the next day. The catering director said that it was not communicated to the "Captain" though I asked one of the wait staff myself. He should have communicated it up the line. Anyway, Fat Freddy's would not reimburse us for the lost meals nor would they return our $400 tip to the Captain. We eventually decided on a compromise of 8 credits toward a future event because that is the number of people I could be sure didn't come to the wedding but were paid for. Now, three months later they will not honor their "deal" with me saying that after further investigation our meal were packed up and they have no more responsibility toward us. Of course, this is directly contrary to what I was told at the time and is a load of bull. Though the product is exceptional, the service and professionalism seem to have been washed down the drain, at least where I'm concerned. Now that so much time has passed, I'm hardly mad at them for pouring the "toasting" champagne even before anyone was seated for dinner; I just want my money or my food that was dearly paid for.
Each time I have used or recommended Fat Freddy's they have gone beyond the mark of excellence and have "wowed". They are hard-working and give beautiful presentation. (P.S. Try the prime rib)
Did a party with these guys at Val Vista Lakes...never worked with em before. GREAT job. Unique food spread and cool people. Pros.
The staff at Fat Freddy's Catering is exceptional! Their food is five star restaurant quality. You can never go wrong with choosing Fat Freddy's Catering for your event!
My associates and I worked a wedding/reception event with Fat Freddy's in March of this year. The servers working the event were very professional and maintained the highest quality of service while keeping the buffet service organized, well stocked and the food hot. Their post-event clean-up was impeccable, leaving no stone unturned. The food selections served were very tasty and hot (very important). In planning your reception or another type of event, I recommend considering Fat Freddy's for your food service needs.
We have done the desserts for many different catering companies around the valley. Being as we are also another catering company, it would seem unusual that we would endorse our competition but these foks are really great. Fat Freddy's Catering is a well run, very frindly, and dependable company. They know the business and create some really wonderful tasting dishes. They have been a pleasure to work with in the past.You have to love their slogan, "Never Trust a Skinny Cook". Bravo!Lady Diana's Cakes and Catering
Fat Freddy's has caterered a couple of events at Virginia's House. They were both professional and personable to guests as well as our staff. Their food and presentation was fabulous. It was wonderful having them on our property and we would welcome them back with open arms.
