The food - barbecue buffet- was excellent and the service was amazing. Communication was clear, they helped us plan and gave us valuable advice and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. Thank you!

My son and daughter-in-law decided on a BBQ for their wedding reception. Thompson’s Catering was fantastic! Before the wedding, they were quick to answer all of my questions and were always very thorough in answering. Everything was delivered and set up on time and beautifully at the venue. I wish I remembered the name of man who delivered, he was so pleasant! We had pulled pork, smoked bologna, baked beans, Cole slaw, and macaroni and cheese. Everyone enjoyed the food and there was more than enough for 100 guests. I HIGHLY recommend Thompson’s Catering based on service, price, quality, and quantity.
