DO NOT and I repeat DO NOT hire this company!!!! I hired them for my wedding and they were horrible! I am giving them a 1/5 just for the fact that they showed up that day. They were rude to my guest, mismanaged the food to be served, ran out of supplies, just unprofessional!! We hired their wait staff to serve our guest food and open bar for the night. First, they promised to supply champagne in the beginning of the reception during the toast, when I looked around there was nothing the glasses. They did not have the champagne for the toast. Second, they had no pitchers available to serve my guest water or soft drinks; they actually ran out ice, soft drinks and water before 9:30pm. I hired them for open bar from 5:30-11pm for 120 guest. When my guest requested beverages, they were rude to them and even expressed to my maid of honor to go retrieve water from the vending machine or faucet!!! I was floored!! What kind of business is this?? I later found out that not only were they unprepared with items, but they tried to close the bar, before even 10:30pm. When confronted by the DJ, they were nasty to him, and told him the party is over, but wedding was not over, it actually ended at 11pm! The list goes on! We were saddened to hear the next day that some of our guest did not eat anything that night because the servers were not efficient! As per Eatible Delights Catering, they ran out of food!!! We ordered food for 125 people! Only 100 guest ate that night! The next day we went to pick up our cake and saw 2-trays full of chicken sitting on the counter!! How did you run of food?? Where did the food go?? I was embarrassed that some of my guest left hungry and thirty that night!! When I confronted the David, the owner, he expressed he had to hire an extra wait staff that night, and that I had 160 guests! He expressed that he had done a head count of the guest that night, and he counted 160 people!! This was false, when my husband and I did the head count we had 138 people including those who did not RSVP and children! As per the catering company who prepared the food, there was enough food to feed 140-145 people. David tried to charge us an additional $550 due to the "high demands" but in actuality he deserves nothing due to less than poor service! This has been a traumatic experience for my husband and I. Instead of enjoying and focusing on our honeymoon, we spent two days trying to resolve the wrongdoings of this company! THIS COMPANY ALMOST RUINED OUR WEDDING DAY!! ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT EVENTS IN A PERSON’S LIFE!! I WRITE THIS AS A WARNING SO THAT THIS DOES NOT HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE!! DO NOT HIRE THEM! THEY ARE UNPROFESSIONAL, INCOMPETENT, AND A NIGHTMARE!!

What more can I say!! Eatible, Delights, Catering speaks for itself. Not only are you eating great quality food but you also delight in the food that you eat. From the beginning when I called to the office I was greeted with a warm and welcoming phone call by Davids administrator. After talking with the young lady then David called back to greet me personally himself and invited me to come and do a taste test!! Not only did we sit and taste their delicious food but we also signed the contract right at that moment. David was excellent in helping with his suggestions in feeding a diverse crowd of 40 plus people. Our Christmas Luncheon was held on December 12th 2012 and began at 12:00noon. Not only is David very professional his caterers that came early at 10:00am came professionaly dressed, well mannered and began to decorate and prepare for the event. The beautiful flower arrangements, the China set up and even the warm smiles were so welcoming that we felt right at home within our own office!! As each individual sat and ate their food you heard all the ooohs and ahhhs as we marveled of the tastefulness of everything!!. ( The Salmon and the Beef Brisket was over the top delicious. The caterers came around and waited on us with our beverages and even removed our plates as we were finished!! They also served us the delicious desserts (Key Lime Pie, Chocolate Cake and Peach Cobbler) On a scale of 1-5 I have to rate them a 5+. Eatible Delights Catering will forever be used with our corporation for any of our events.

Eatible Delights Catering made our Family Reunion “Cookout” a true delight. With 40 family members coming to Philly, I needed help. So I reached out to Eatible Delights to help me bring that down home, backyard cookout feeling to life. From the first phone call to the final pickup after the event, this team of professional caterers delivered on all of my expectations. They helped me plan a menu that met the diverse needs of my family. There were options for the 3 vegetarians (Grilled Vegetables – awesome, Heirloom Tomato Salad – yum and the vegetarian BBQ Beans. For the rest of us, the BBQ Chicken and Potato Salad had my folks raving and we gave a 5 star rating to the Beef Brisket that was so flavorful and tender that we only had to use the high quality PLASTIC knives (supplied by Eatible Delights) to eat it with. Not only was the food outstanding, the delivery, setup and cleanup services were excellent. When everyone showed up to the event at the same time, everything was presentation ready. The sunflower bouquet was a nice finishing touch to the buffet setting. At the end of the evening, the staff efficiently broke down the setup and cleared away all of the remaining serving trays/dishes. Thanks to everyone at Eatible Delights Catering for delivering a wonderful experience to my family!

RUN THE OTHER WAY! - I made the huge mistake of trusting the sweet talking David Simms, owner of Eatible Delights for my recent affair. Although they sold us by preparing an amazing "sample" meal at our home, and on their ability to execute on a large high end affair, they proved themselves incapable, incompetent, and even worse, UNETHICAL. After many promises about how the service would be done, the station set ups, and after a very carefully selected menu, David Simms opted to change our menu without my consent. He replaced high end items (which I paid for) with inedible leftovers, took some items out completely, served over 30 minutes late, then served RAW (literally mooing) meat and over cooked fish. The list goes on and on. Save yourself the pain I went through! I was unable to enjoy my own party as they totally killed it for me. Then after admitting to their problems, blaming their issues on staff that didnt show up and the unskilled ones who did, they offered to make good with a refund. That never happened, David Simms simply stopped answering emails and calls. On top of all that, they took my property and said they would return it, but never did. Add it all up, and ask yourself if you should trust David Simms or Eatible Delights.

Our reading group at Univ. of Penn, The Black Cultural Studies Collective, used Eatible Delights for a artist/scholars visit and they were awesome! Really! The food was delicious. We ordered the chicken marsala, salmon and grilled veggies (green beans, red peppers, zuchinni) and everything tasted savory, well seasoned and FRESH! Everyone at the talk said so and was taking food home for later once the event was over. There was MORE than enough food for the amount of people we ordered for. Additionally, they provided a beautiful setup with crisp table cloths, beautiful flower arrangements and a neat and professional set up w. the napkins and utensils! They arranged to come around 5pm, an hour before our event, and they were early and already Setting up by 5pm-- not just arriving at 5, which was perfect! Also, David the owner, and Catina were so easy to work with and thorough. Order and payment were stress free! We are definitely using Eatible Delights every time for our events!!!
