| - I originally reviewed this business on March 22, 2012. Years later, Tim (the owner) decided to message me stating that "he didn't know who I was but that he had contacted the client of the event and that everyone was pleased with Dad's Catering Service." This is a complete lie. I mean really, if he didn't know who I was then how on earth did he manage to contact the client?!? Tim then went on to dispute my review and have it removed on the grounds that I hadn't actually been tortured by his miserable, lousy business. He also went back and deleted one of the messages in our conversation, apparently forgetting that I still have an email record of the whole ordeal. Sigh. I always forget how compulsive liars don't even remember the difference between truth and fabrication.
Dad's Catering Service is nothing more than a glorified dog food buffet table. The staff was completely ignorant and unhelpful for those of us with food intolerances. The staff had no idea how to open a wine bottle. I had to show them how to work a wine key and poor my own glass of wine into a plastic cup because they had apparently forgotten the glasses. Excellent. I love drinking red wine out of a plastic cup at a wedding. I will now add some photos to show the event of which I speak.
The hors d'oeuvres didn't come out either. When this was mentioned, a couple plates of some strange looking substance landed on a table. It didn't look like anything that was described, was certainly not anywhere enough to go around, and was accompanied by no type of table service as advertised. I wish that I had taken photos of the dog food buffet, but then again I don't because they would immediately be flagged as inappropriate content for the uncanny resemblance to vomit.
Everything was super slow. The piles of food were mushy and cold. I honestly don't remember anyone eating any of it. I only remember that we had been sitting for so long that we had become starved and shortly thereafter passed the point of caring about hunger all together.
Some people might say the price is right, but I say you get what you pay for. I would have rather been served dog food... at least then I would have known what it was. I certainly wouldn't recommend this company for special events where you hope people will enjoy their experience.
I find it even more bizarre that the only positive review I see here was left by a person who clearly states that they work for the company in their post. This is a clear violation of Yelp terms. If Tim has so much free time to try and get rid of legit reviews, maybe he should also report that one. Better yet, perhaps he could teach his staff about customer service.
