Cant say enough about how great it was to work with Dan and Tall Guy and a Grill!! Just had them cater my 180 person wedding at South Shore Pavilion and the food and service were both outstanding. We sat down with Dan a few months before our date to come up with the menu and then went in a few weeks later for the tasting. We absolutely relished the food tasting because the food was awesome (cant beat homemade pasta noodles) and we knew we would hardly have a chance to eat it on our actual wedding day. I spent the next 4 months talking the food up to all my guests, trying to prepare them for how good it was going to be. They were not disappointed come wedding day!! I had more than one guest come up to me the night of the wedding, and several in the days after, to tell me how great the food was. Even had one guest tell me the Beef Braciole was as good as her Italian grandmothers (which I think is the highest Italian food compliment there is). Beyond how great the food tasted was how easy and accommodating working with Tall Guy was. They were like a build-your-own wedding service. I ended up having them provide appetizers, full buffet service, all dishes, linens and cutlery and some glassware. I chose to do the bar and late night food on my own. Every random request I sent was greeted with a smile and a "no problem"- including when I realized about 2 weeks before that I hadnt ordered enough linens and forgot to order coffee. And as a bonus- we actually got to eat on our wedding day. Dan personally came up to both my husband and I a few times throughout the night to make sure we had a chance to eat appetizers, the entree and cake. My recommendation: Read the reviews, taste the food, let out a tiny squeal of joy when you see their reasonable prices, and then just enjoy your day because you wont have to spend a minute worrying about the food or the service!

We had Tall Guy and a Grill cater our wedding at our home of about 100 people a couple weeks ago. Dan and his crew were unbelievable to work with throughout the planning process, as well as on the day of. Planning and orchestrating a wedding at our home was not easy. Dan was there to help us every step of the way. He helped us find rentals, his staff set up all the tables and chairs the day of, as well as set out all of our centerpieces and a full bar! My bridesmaids raved about how friendly and attentive Dan was. He and his staff really made the day run smoothly. Now on to the food...the food was AMAZING! We first spoke with Dan last winter when we booked him for the wedding. We gave him some ideas as to the casual feel of our wedding, and how we wanted our food to be locally sourced and he created a perfect menu using local grass-fed beef, local Wisconsin cheeses, and Rushing Waters smoked salmon. After the tasting and meeting Dan face to face, we knew we had definitely made the right decision! The food was delicious, and so many guests stopped me on the day of to let me know how much they loved the food. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out and would highly recommend Tall Guy and a Grill to anyone looking for amazing catering and service.

It has been a pleasure to see this small, local business thrive. Ive used their services several times, from a volunteer appreciation in a park shelter to a tailgate party at Miller Park to a last-minute cocktail reception during a non-profit gala. Each time Ive worked with them, theyve been extremely responsive in creating a menu that is within my budget and meets my needs 100%. Theyve added a wonderful element to my neighborhood by moving in to a storefront on 72nd and North in Wauwatosa this year. Ive enjoyed their take-out brunch on Sunday mornings a number of times, and even brought it to a Packer party a few weeks ago. I find the food to be fresh and delicious - you can tell that they are using high-quality ingredients and dont make things too far ahead. I love supporting local, and Im happy to do it with the great product this catering company provides. Ive ordered part of my thanksgiving dinner from them as well - looking forward to making my cooking day a little bit easier!

Dan of Tall Guy and a Grill catered our wedding. The food was impressive, Dan was able to 100% re-create on a large scale the delicious menu we sampled during taste testing. He also was able to accommodate our special diet guests with really great dinner options. Most guests traveled from out of state for our Wisconsin wedding, and Dan helped us showcase local food for our guests with a Milwaukee/German inspired menu. Working with Dan was super easy, he responded to e-mails in a timely manner, was clear with what he needed from us, had great staff who were very polite and friendly for our event, and made lots of food; all of our guests were able to have seconds if they wanted. I absolutely recommend Tall Guy and a Grill.

Tall Guy and a Grill did a great job for us for an event for 40 we had at the Ruby Tap! I believe Tall Guy does all Ruby Taps catering in Wauwatosa. Their chicken tenders, empanadas, and pulled chicken were a huge hit, and the veggie and antipasto platters were great as well! Might have done something different than the grass fed sliders in hindsight, seems like all the cheese they were stuffed with must have oozed out on the grill. Everyone really enjoyed the lunch - they kept complimenting the people at Ruby Tap, who kept saying it was Tall Guy and a Grill!

Negligible. I bet there is prison food better than what was served at our church this Sunday. The breakfast potatoes were a sickly ash-grey and tasted like topsoil. The egg bake (if that was what it was) tasted like it was made LAST year and was rubbery, dry, and bland. There also was some type of baked (?) apple-something that looked unbelievably unappetizing (who knows how it tasted, I wisely avoided it). If I was the owner of this racket serving this slop, Id be appalled. I wouldnt even feed this to a starving dog. Truly disgusting. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

You are one of those rare catering companies that is so good, you will grow exponentially by word of mouth alone. Thank you for great food, flexibility and saving our mistake when we left 22 place settings of silverware back in Michigan. I believe you are one of the best "newer" (is that a word?) catering companies on the market in Milwaukee today. My daughter made an exceptional choice in hiring you for her wedding. I recommend people book you quickly as you will be the catering company you have to book over a year in advance. Truly. Again, thanks!

Dear Chef Tall guy, Sorry for the delay in writing this review. You recently catered our daughter Kailas wedding. The food was perfect and the service was outstanding. It was so refreshing to see you "the owner" working on the hot summer day, making sure my daughters special day was perfect. I love to ccok and many of our guest ask me where did I find you. I would recommend you to anyone that needs catering sevice and please dont hesitate to use us as a reference for your future endeavers. Thank you again Rocco and Shelly Vento
