This is terrible! The sides are all vinegar. The wraps are all cold and not hot, douse in sauce and cheese, with wilted lettuce I paid for 20 sodas and got soda and juice. Also I ordered for 20 people and this is not for 20 . We received no serving utensils, no plates, no forks. With the high star ratings and reading this, it seems like they are fluffing their reviews.

3 Dimensional Catering did an amazing job for my daughters wedding. It was such a pleasure to have Chef Carl cater the wedding. He is highly professional and super friendly. The food was amazing and the presentation was outstanding.The staff were very friendly, helpful and made sure all the guests were taken care of. The guests are still talking about how delicious the food was. Chef Carl went above and beyond for this special day.I highly recommend 3 Dimensional Catering for weddings or any events that you may need.

I cannot put into words how incredible 3 Dimensional Catering is. We just had a 130 guest wedding on 10/8/22 and I’ve never heard so many people rave about food in my life (we served a plated salad, a buffet of chicken piccata, we had a carving station with prime rib, and we had potatoes and veggies- we also had several trays of appetizers during our cocktail hour). Truly- our guests were so impressed with Chef Carls incredible creations. Not only did I hear about how delicious everything was, but I also heard that the 3D staff was attentive, kind, and very professional throughout our entire cocktail hour and dinner service (especially Ursula, Chef Carl’s team captain).My (now) husband and I’s experience with Chef Carl before our wedding night was also so spectacular that it needs to be mentioned. Our first meeting with Chef Carl showed us how passionate he was about his food and his catering business as a whole. He made us feel like family during our menu tastings (which were also so delicious that we were sold on 3D after our first bites), he sat with us and answered any questions we had and he went above and beyond with his accommodating nature when we asked for another tasting session (my husband and I joke that we want to just continue booking tasting sessions in different disguises so that we can continue eating his incredible food whenever we want).Everything from tastings, to contract signing to the actual wedding night was seamless and perfect. THANK YOU CHEF CARL AND THE ENTIRE 3D STAFF for making our wedding night so special.

I cannot begin to express the nightmare that it was dealing with this catering company and especially with Chef Carl. They get one star from me only because Yelp won't allow me to make it zero. Chef Carl took my first $2600 payment and I never heard from him again. Strap yourself in because this is gonna be a long one. If you'd rather watch a video with my experience with this company follow this link to TikToks I made out of frustration while this whole thing was happening.tiktok.com/@markito908?i…I booked this company on May 4th of 2022 for a wedding on July 11th because our original caterer went out of business. Those were the most stressful two months of my life and it was all mainly due to them.My wife and I booked everything for the wedding ourselves and out of 18 other vendors and this company was literally the only one that gave us issues.Here was what, I can now recall, was the first red flag I should've caught when speaking to Chef Carl. Everytime we had a question about things that would be included with the booking he would respond with what I can only describe as "arrogance." Asking him questions like "can we please make sure we have chicken breast instead of chicken thigh" would usually be followed with a condescending nod and "sure" or "look I've been doing this for 20 years..." or something along those lines. At the time my thought process was, "he's probably heard these questions a million times and that's probably why he's responding like this' '. Turns out that that was his attitude all along.After that, the following two months were just a blur of unanswered texts, emails, questions and wrong invoices followed by the lack of an actual process to actually iron out details regarding the booking. A month away from the wedding our questions were simple " when do we have to give you our final RSVP count? and when do we have to pay you by?" but as he refused to answer back and he just kept sending incorrect quotes and invoices, more and more questions piled up that he just refused to acknowledge. Simple things like "can you please give us the options for our guests that need diabetic entrees?" or "why does the "operation and admin fee" keep going up in each invoice?"A week away from the wedding he still refused to give us any type of reasonable communication so we made the call to cancel the booking and just find a new caterer, and thank goodness we did because it turned out that Chef Carl was scamming us the entire time. The last communication we had with him was after I sent him a long message explaining why we are cancelling our booking. He called me, because he doesn't like to keep things on record, he won't answer emails, he just always calls even though I repeatedly asked to please answer in writing. I knew this so I decided not to answer, so he left a voicemail (which i kept) basically gaslighting me saying things like "I don't know what you are stressing about, your wedding is not for a week, I don't usually do anything until 2 days before". I called him back and just said "we just want our money back" to which I just recieved a "Ok, just tell me where to send the check" and hung up. Then I sent him a text message with the address to which he replied "ok". And that, ladies and gentlemen is the last time I ever heard from Chef Carl.I sent him emails, texts, phone calls, voicemails which he never replied to and he never returned my money. So as I said, we are pretty sure we were getting scammed the entire time. I'm just writing this review now because we ended up having to dispute the charge with our bank and that's how we ended up getting our money back. He never returned it. So now that we have it expect to see this exact review in every possible review platform because everyone in TX should be aware that Chef Carl, in my experience, is not reputable, is not client friendly and most importantly is very

DON'T DO IT. Notice how all the reviews on here are old? That should've been our first red flag. We've had an absolutely horrible experience with this company, so don't let those 'high reviews' fool you. This is an unprofessional company you should stay away from so you don't make the same mistake we made in hiring Chef Carl.Due to our original caterer going out of business, we'd hired this company to cater our wedding two months before the event, with the understanding that they'd be able to accomodate us and handle everything that we needed. We made our first deposit the same day we had the tasting (which was sub-par, but we didn't have a lot of options). All of our communication was thru the owner - Chef Carl.After they got that first payment, responses to our questions were both slow and non-existent. He'd completely ignore our questions, was always 'busy' or somehow on vacations every time we'd try to call for responses. His response when we finally got a hold of him would be 'i'll get it to you tomorrow' which of course--never happened. What we were asking wasn't difficult--an updated invoice, questions on dietary restrictions, final-count due date, normal wedding questions.Finally, after my fiance left a voicemail (because he stopped answering our calls) exactly ONE WEEK before our wedding, we told him we were cancelling and to refund our money due to non-responsiveness. He proceeded to call back the next day to say that "I'll refund you, but I don't know why you're so stressed out. I've been doing this for 20 years and no one's ever stressed out. I go over details 2 days before the event."Did you read that? TWO DAYS before the wedding, is when he was expecting to get our final count, and to sort out all of our miscellaneous questions. I can only assume he's been lying about working in the wedding industry for 20 years because i KNOW that's not normal. We had logistic questions, food questions, multiple details that needed to get figuired out--but he was always MIA. I understand that vendors get busy, especially right now with all the weddings but this is ridiculous. Not to mention the fact, that we're planning a wedding. I have multiple other vendors to deal with and family in town. I'm not going to be spending the last 2 days before my wedding getting my caterer sorted out.And the best part? He never returned our money. We had to go thru a bank dispute and wait 2 months AFTER the wedding for us to get our refund. Don't make the mistake of hiring this fraud.

Chef Carl and his team catered my wedding reception and they were great! ???? From planning and tasting to execution, I was so glad to have 3 Dimensional Catering as my vendor. Chef Carl is flexible and if you accidentally call him while he's out on a delivery, he'll get back to you! The staff wore masks, which I requested and very much appreciated during this time of the pandemic. The food was delicious, our guests loved it! I especially enjoyed my wedding cake! ☺️

We had a fabulous buffet prepared for 50 people for our neighborhood Holiday Party! The food was excellent and some of the best we've ever had at our functions. Desserts were to die for! Everything was set up promptly and the decorations were very festive. The staff did a fantastic job of serving and taking care of everyone. I would highly recommend them and Chef Carl and will definitely be using them again!

3 Dimensional Catering catered a small intimate Valentine's day dinner for my wife and 2 of our friends. The service was exceptional, the food was delectable, and Chef Carl was great company to have around besides making a Flambe Cheesecake that was to die for! Would definitely recommend.

Carl and Tammy were wonderful in catering our wedding celebration. We loved the tasting session and were happy that our guests agreed! Everyone praised the taste and portion size and even guests that were dieting "accidently" finished their entire plate. Can not recommend them enough!

Chef Carl helped make my wife's birthday extra special!!! He worked with me on the perfect menu, taking into account dietary restrictions, budget, and the size and type of the event. He even created an awesome batch Old Fashioned! The food was amazing, all the guests raved about it, we barely had any left overs! Carl was so easy to work with, very communicative, engaged, helpful, reasonable, and made the whole process easy and enjoyable. I highly recommend 3 Dimensional Catering for any event. They even do meal prep, and date nights! And they have a food truck! We will definitely be call Chef Carl soon for another great meal!
