I catered by hubby's 40th birthday with Tastebuds and I had everyone asking where the food was from days later. Amazing communication, delivery and, most importantly, the food was AMAZING! The brisket had us all fighting over it! Not only was the quality amazing, but the quantity as well. More than enough food was available for everyone. Could not be more thankful!
TasteBuds Carribean catered our wedding. They provided delicious jamaican food - jerk chicken, jerk pork, and oxtail all cooked to perfection. Their watermelon salad was also a crowd favourite. Our friends and family were all impressed. In addition, they were professional, thoughtful, organized, transparent, and timely which made our wedding day stress free. They took the time to liaise directly with the venue and ensure a smooth service.
I cannot recommend Tastebuds Caribbean BBQ enough! I hired them to cater my wedding, and they absolutely did not disappoint! The jerk chicken had the perfect amount of spice, the brisket was SO moist, and although I didn’t personally get a chance to try the mac and cheese, my husband and guests absolutely loved it. But their watermelon salad?! Next level. 😂 I honestly didn’t really know what to expect, but WOW. To set the picture, the next day I kept getting the usual “Congratulations!”, “How does it feel being a wife now?”, “Everything last night was so lovely!” — and then, without fail, somehow the conversation would turn into, “Oh, and what about that watermelon salad?!” 😂 No joke, I had that conversation with almost every family member. My dad’s girlfriend even told me that he woke up at 3 a.m. and said, “I think I’m gonna go have some more watermelon salad.” 😂 That pretty much sums up how good it was! And let me talk about the portions because WOW. We had a small wedding with 45 people — 35 adults and 10 kids. I ordered dinner for 35 people, and their portions were HUGE. We were able to send leftovers home with all of the cousins and still had plenty left for ourselves. I was genuinely so impressed with the quantity of food, especially for the price. Another important thing I want to mention is how amazing they were throughout the entire process. We communicated entirely through email while getting everything set up, and they were always so quick to respond, incredibly helpful, and happy to answer every question I had. Planning a wedding can be stressful enough, so having a caterer who was easy to communicate with made such a difference. And lastly, they were AWESOME when they delivered the food. They do offer the option to have them serve the buffet, but I was working with a stricter budget and opted to have our guests serve themselves. Even with that, they came in and set up the entire buffet for us, including the few extra sides that we had made ourselves. They made everything so smooth and seamless, which I truly appreciated because I had a million other things going on that day. From the food, to the portions, to the communication, to the delivery and setup, Tastebuds Caribbean BBQ was absolutely fantastic. They made one less thing for us to worry about on our wedding day, and our guests are STILL talking about the food — especially that watermelon salad! 😂 If you’re looking for a caterer for your wedding or any special event, I would 100% recommend Tastebuds Caribbean BBQ. We were so happy with our experience, and I would happily hire them again in a heartbeat! ❤️
I have tried the wings, the thighs and legs and the ribs and can’t wait to work my way through the burgers and Mac and cheese! Got them at bountiful market 3 outta 4 weeks now!!!! Don’t miss out wow is all I can say! No pictures as I ate it all! Wife loves it too, the jerk chicken is a good level of heat and a focus on flavour, the ribs have little fat if any as I did not find any and just a nice dry smoked rib with so much flavour, do yourself a flavour and get some. Call me out if I am wrong!
Unreal! Catered lunch for our coworkers retirement and knocked it put of the park. We had jerk chicken and sides. Delicious and great bang for your buck. Thanks!!!
