| - If I could give NO STARS I would for this review...
I agree with a previous review, they were on-time arriving to the building. This is the 2nd year the management group in our office buiding has used Nibblers to cater a morning holiday breakfast for the building. I have to say, last year, our office was not impressed. We all were joking about the whole undercooked egg fiasco from last year. I was hoping this year would be an improvement.
They were here on-time but when everyone lined up for the well planned out times for each floor in the building to get in line, they had pretty much nothing out for the main course.
There were fruit bowls, pastries, cookies and juice all ready. They were quickly making waffles and the main course of omelettes, well, there were only 3 omelettes out for about 30 people in line and all 3 were visibly under cooked.
No one would pick up the omelettes to eat as you could see that they were runny. Even one of the owners or managers, not sure of his affiliation with Nibblers turned to the cooks nearby and said, "hey guys, make sure the eggs are cooked". Really - this is all you have to prep onsite and you can't even get that right?
Needless to say, the line got longer and longer by the minute. I opted to grab a waffle and some pastries, go eat them and return about 25 minutes later to see if there were any edible omelettes. After I put the waffle on my plate, which there were no serving tools in the pan to remove them so people used their fingers, I found a large tub of butter on the table with a large silver ladle stuck in it to put butter on my plate - again really??? What about butter pads or something more sanitary and user friendly. Needless to say, no one could even use the butter since again, no utensils available to extract it from the tub.
The pastries I did take were average at best. The waffle, although I had no butter, I drowned them in syrup and the flavor of the waffle was awful. Bland and doughy, again undercooked. The syrup has little taste. I threw out the waffle.
I returned to the whittled down line hoing to actually get to finallly eat something. I returned only to find once again runny omelettes sitting in the serving pans. Reluctantly I took one, put it on a white plate, walked back to my office and after seeing all the runny, wet mess appearing on my plate beneath very uncooked eggs, I threw out the plate and lost my appetite.
Thanks Nibblers for what was to be a generous gesture on the part of builiding management turned out to be a HUGE disappointment for the 2nd year in a row. If you can't even get breakfast right, how in the heck do you cater lunch or dinner???
I would never, ever use this company for any catering event, it would be a waste of money and complete embarrassment.
Happy Holidays!!!
