We hired Straight to the Plate for my daughter's graduation celebration. They arrived on time and remained professional and upbeat the entire time they were at our home. They provided both tray passed appetizers and a big beautiful display of appetizers and sliders as well. The team kept all the food fresh and continuously flowing for our entire event. They also had a few interactive dessert stations, which we loved! They were some of the best bites of food we have ever had, our friends are still talking about the food from the graduation party!

I cater lunches for a committee at work. I've used Straight to the Plate for these lunches for the last two semesters (probably 15 lunches or more) and they hit it out of the park every time. The faculty even mention it when they leave. It's not unusual for me to hear "The food was great" and "That was outstanding". For me it was the ease. I used to have to get food and now I just tell Beth how many people and the restrictions I have and leave it to her. It's delivered and set up in a timely manner, the people who bring the food are friendly and pleasant, and the dishes are eco-friendly and disposable! Our events manager has been using them for years and I wish I'd listened when she first mentioned them. Straight to the Plate is definitely the "Easy Button" for catering. If you try them out, you won't regret it.

I just used Straight to the Plate for my event and loved the experience. From the start, their quote was very thorough and easy to understand. The food was delicious and their service was outstanding. I'd definitely use this company again. Pro tip: the meatballs were a total fan-favorite!

We had the pleasure of using Straight to the Plate catering for a house warming party that we held when we moved to Apache Junction. On relatively short notice Beth and her team put together a "Drop Off Service" option that was both delicious and easy for us to use. Our guests enjoyed the selection of appetizers and we enjoyed the ease of serving and clean-up! Our new neighbors gave us kudos for raising the bar on the neighborhood events! Thanks for great service and food you prepared for our friends! Steve & Kris Watson

We used Straight to the Plate Catering for one of our large events and were incredibly impressed! They had incredibly timely communication and were very accommodating to any changes in guest count or food/beverage. They showed up on time to the event and were incredibly professional and friendly. The food was also great and was warm for the entire duration of the event!

This amazing company catered a recent event for GPECC. The food was Amazing. So much that I broke my diet and got a second helping of everything.Dish was Mediterranean. Chicken in curry sauce with rice, accompanied by some carrots which were divine. I don’t usually eat carrots but these I ate 8. The mango in the salad and garbanzo salad was fresh and inviting. I can’t wait to try their other food in a near future.

We had Straight to the Plate cater our work retirement event at an axe throwing venue and they were absolutely amazing. We had a very tight 30 minutes to set up catering for 35 people and Straight to the Plate did a fantastic job setting up delicious food for about 35 people in a very short amount of time. The food was kept warm (or cold) and was a perfect variety for all types of eaters. Thank you all for making Mark's celebration fantastic.

I hired Straight to the Plate for my wedding this past November! I have never been to a wedding where the plates were scraped clean, until mine. When my husband and I were making the rounds at our wedding people were raving about the food. I (the bride) even had seconds. The short rib and apricot meatballs were next level. Food came out so hot and fresh. They made accommodations for gluten free & vegetarian.The staff & management was extremely professional and attentive. I got the buffet & bartending package and pricing was very fair!I would totally recommend them to any new bride or for any upcoming event!

I’m posting this on behalf of my employer Theresa Carmichael, P. C., who recently celebrated 30 years in business. She hired this Straight to the Plate Catering to cater the event. We and our guests are so glad she did. Theresa, and her staff were able to focus on the guests. The food was prepared to perfection. The suggested selections were spot on. The event was a great success and we’re grateful that your crew helped make it so. Thank you. Barb Kyser, Admin Asst at T. Carmichael, P.C. CPA

We recently used Straight to the Plate and loved the food, their presentation was lovely, working with planning details very professional,. Their staff was on time, qualified and courteous! Our contract included wait staff for our event. Thus allowed me to enjoy our guests and relax afterwards because our space was cleaned and restored! Highly recommend Straight to the Plate!
My company used Straight to the Plate for a high-end private dinner for a group of Executives, and I couldn't have been more pleased. Their setup was clean and professional, team was great, presentation was beautiful, and every guest fully enjoyed their 3-course meal and hors d'oeuvres. Appreciate their team's flexibility with the menu, as well as the number of options for each course.

The food was incredible and Beth went above and beyond to ensure our Thanksgiving dinner would be wonderful and she and the Straight from the Plate team did not disappoint- so great!

If I could give STTP Catering a 6 I would. Easy to work with, they helped set up a menu for our family Thanksgiving at the house that was delicious. We went family-style, and there was so.much.food. The food was great, flavorful, hot and cooked perfectly.Don't overlook the cornbread stuffing or the sweet potato casserole as options, most of our guests went back for seconds of those!They set everything up, were exactly on-time, courteous and organized, and everyone really enjoyed it all.LOVED it.

I absolutely love this catering company. I worked here before as a cook and worked one on one with many different chefs. Great food, amazing learning skills and staff is very kind.

Attended an event using this caterer and the team sent was apathetic, which reflected in the food presentation. I suggest putting your money and event into the hands of another company.
