Made From Scratch

The event was a business breakfast involving several hundred people. Made from Scratch's captain was professional, and their staff kept our buffet line looking good and tables cleared. Pre-planning was easy and fun with Carol. Food is above average, and we received raves from several people about how good it was. Their French toast is particularly good. Cleanup and tear down was quick.

Fair. The food was not as good as we expected based on the samples that we tried at the Open House. They acted as the liaison between us and the Columbus Parks Department and did not follow through on a couple of things that we thought were settled, such as the set up of the building and the fountain on-site not being turned off for our ceremony as we had agreed. We also did not have enough chairs for our guests during the ceremony. We were disappointed overall with their service and product.

I called twice a month before the party to find someone to assist at a party. I never received a follow-up call. I also called to rent a tent (last minute), once again no one returned my phone call. I have used this company before, but would not call again because of lack of service.

They were top notch and very professional in everything they did. Carol Chevington: Top Professional to work with. Had great ideas and the plan she advised us with went as smooth as cake. On Time Helpful and Polite Went beyond in cleaning up afterwords. We used them for a wedding and were impressed then. The year was 1999. We will use them again.

FOOD WAS GOOD, SERVICE WAS VERY GOOD.

I INITIALLY CONTACTED THIS COMPANY ABOUT CATERING A BAT MITZVAH RECEPTION IN MY HOME. I HAD A VERY LIMITED BUDGET, AND AFTER DISCUSSING VARIOUS MENU OPTIONS WITH JANET, SHE SUGGESTED I PURCHASE THE FOOD AND HAVE ONE OF THEIR STAFF ASSIST WITH COOKING AND CLEAN-UP. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED AND WORKED WELL WITH OUR BUDGET. THEIR STAFF PERSON RHONDA SHOWED UP A FEW MINUTES EARLY AND WITH VERY LITTLE DIRECTION FROM ME SHE WENT RIGHT TO WORK. SHE HELPED SET UP OUR BUFFET, AND COOKED BURGERS AND HOT DOGS ON MY GRILL. SHE LATER HELPED SERVE DESSERT, AND THEN CLEANED UP. RHONDA EVEN TOLD ME WHEN IT WAS TIME FOR ME TO TAKE A BREAK AND EAT WITH MY GUESTS. RHONDA WAS VERY EFFICIENT AND SAVED ME FROM HOURS OF PREPARATION AND CLEAN UP. I WOULD HIRE THIS COMPANY AGAIN.

WE HAVE USED THEM BEFORE, AND AGAIN THEY DID AN EXCELLENT JOB.

FANTASTIC JOB. THE CAPTAIN(SERVER) WAS INCREDIBLE. MOST OF THE FOOD WAS REALLY GOOD. A COUPLE OF THE ITEMS I WOULDN'T ORDER AGAIN. OVERALL, IT WAS A GREAT EXPERIENCE - I WOULD USE THEM AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT.

YUMMY! OUR ACCOUNT MANAGER, KATHLEEN, DID A GREAT JOB TALKING A KNOW-NOTHING BRIDE THROUGH THE PLANNING. SINCE WE WERE HAVING OUR CEREMONY AND DINNER IN THE SAME PLACE, SHE HELPED COME UP WITH A GREAT PLAN THAT GOT US AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE FROM ''I DO'' TO THE FIRST DANCE. WE CHOSE THE BUFFET ITALIA OPTION, WITH SOME MODIFICATIONS, AND EVERYONE TOLD US THE FOOD WAS GREAT. WE HAVE ENOUGH OF THE OUTSTANDING CHICKEN PARMESAN LEFTOVERS TO LAST US THE WINTER! THE PLACE SETTINGS WERE BEAUTIFUL, AND THE ARRANGEMENT OF THE PETIT FOURS WITH MY PARENTS' ANTIQUE CAKE TOPPER WAS DARLING. THE STAFF WAS SPEEDY AND WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND, MOVING CHAIRS BETWEEN THE CEREMONY AND DINNER (WITH OUR RECEIVING LINE CLUMSILY PLACED IN THEIR WAY FOR SOME OF THE TABLES; THEY WAITED PATIENTLY). OUR CAPTAIN, JESSICA, THOUGHT OF EVERYTHING I FORGOT, INCLUDING REMINDING FOLKS TO TAKE CENTERPIECES ON THEIR WAY OUT. THIS IS MORE THAN JUST A CATERER.

WE HAD A SLIGHT MISUNDERSTANDING ABOUT TIME OF DELIVERY. THEY WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO MEET OUR EXPECTATIONS. SHANDA DELIVERED THE FOOD PERSONALLY.

THIS IS THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW THAT I HAVE USED THEM FOR THIS. THEY DO A GREAT JOB. THEY ARE WONDERFULLY PROMPT. THEY UNDERSTAND THE PANIC THAT ANY PARTY GIVER IS EXPERIENCING. THE BEST PART IS THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO DO DISHES.

THEY BENT OVER BACKWARDS TO ACCOMMODATE ME AND WERE ABLE TO DO A SPECIAL DESIGN ON THE CAKE FROSTING. THE FOOD WAS WONDERFUL!

A NEIGHBOR HAD REFERRED US TO MADE FROM SCRATCH, BUT WE HAD NO IDEA JUST HOW GOOD THE CATERING EXPERIENCE WOULD BE. JOSH WAS WONDERFUL. ARRIVED EARLY TO SET UP TABLES. AS HE LEFT, GAVE ME HIS CELL PHONE NUMBER 'JUST IN CASE' WE THOUGHT OF ANYTHING WE NEEDED BEFORE HE CAME BACK WITH THE HORS D'OEUVRES. HE CAME BACK PROMPTLY WITH THE FOOD, SOME COLD DISHES, SOME HOT. POINTED OUT THOSE PLATES WITH FISH, THOSE WITH WINE SO THAT WE WOULD KNOW IN CASE OF ALLERGIES, PEOPLE WHO DID NOT WANT ALCOHOL (EVEN THOUGH THE ALCOHOL 'COOKS OFF'. VERY PLEASANT EXPERIENCE. JOSH WAS VERY DOWN-TO-EARTH, YET SHOWED THE UTMOST IN PROFESSIONALISM. WOULD DEFINITELY HIRE MADE FROM SCRATCH TO DO THE WORK AGAIN.

THE FOOD WAS EXCELLENT!! WE HAD AN HORS D''OEUVRE RECEPTION WITH HOT AND COLD HORS D''OEUVRES. THE CAKE LADY REFERRED TO US BY THE CATERER MADE A BEAUTIFUL AND TASTY CAKE (HER NAME WAS CAROL KREIG). THE SERVERS MISSED SERVING PART OF THE GUESTS THE CAKE AFTER IT WAS CUT & DIDN''T CUT ENOUGH PIECES FOR EVERYONE. INSTEAD THEY GAVE US TWO CAKES AS LEFTOVERS. THE CATERER CLEANED UP THE FACILITY AFTER OUR WEDDING AND PACKAGED ALL OF THE LEFTOVERS FOR US. THEY HELPED PLAN THE EVENT AND MADE IT LOOK EASY...NO WORRIES WITH ENOUGH FOOD FOR EVERYONE. THE FOOD WAS MORE LIKE A DINNER THAN HORS D''OEUVRES. OUR WEDDING INVOLVED 100 GUESTS.

WE HAD A RED VELVET CAKE WITH CREAM CHEESE ICING... ABSOLUTELY THE BEST I''VE EVER EATEN! THE DECORATING WAS JUST BREATH-TAKING.

QUALITY WAS OUTSTANDING; A BIT PRICEY BUT WORTH THE EXTRA EXPENSE FOR THE BEST CATERING. AFTER A YEAR BEING MARRIED, PEOPLE WHO WERE AT THE WEDDING STILL COME UP TO ME AND TELL ME WHAT A WONDERFUL DINNER THEY HAD.

DID A GREAT JOB. CLEAN UP WAS VERY GOOD. WE WERE ABLE TO ENJOY THE EVENING AS WE DID NOT NEED TO WORRY ABOUT HOW THEY WERE DOING.

FOOD NOT WELL COOKED AND DID NOT LOOK APPETIZING.

JODIE MY SERVER WAS SO GOOD MY CHILDREN LOVED HER
