The Catering Company — Restaurant in Paducah

Please take your money elsewhere and save yourself the stress and disappointment. We would not recommend The Catering Company based on our experience.

We recently placed an order with The Catering Company for a special event—our grandparents’ 70th anniversary. We were quoted for sandwich sliders, fruit kebabs, and cupcakes. Based on the photos on their website, we expected a vibrant, fresh, and well-presented spread. Unfortunately, what we received was far from that. Upon arrival to pick up the order, we were met with underwhelming service and even more disappointing food. The cupcakes looked extremely sad and melted, as if they had been sitting in the heat for hours. The fruit kebabs and sliders didn’t resemble anything close to what was advertised online. The entire order lacked care and presentation. When we voiced our concerns to the manager, hoping for at least an acknowledgment or solution, his response was: “Well, we aren’t a bakery.” That level of indifference was frustrating and unprofessional. This experience was especially disheartening considering how important the occasion was to our family. Thankfully, we were able to salvage the event by picking up a beautiful sheet cake from Walmart at the last minute—something that shouldn't have been necessary if The Catering Company had delivered as promised. If you’re in need of catering for your event, do not choose...

Jeff catered my wedding this weekend and did an excellent job. He & his crew showed up right on time, had everything out & ready within about 20 minutes, and tore everything down just as quickly as soon as we were done.

The quality of the food was excellent as well. We ordered BBQ with all the fixins, as well as a BBQ nacho option, and all the guests including myself were very satisfied. Jeff didn't skimp on quantity either; everybody ate their fill & we still had leftovers.

I'm happy to leave a 5-star review for...

Do NOT recommend! Hired Jeff & Co for a family function (75 ppl), ordered sliders, fruit skewers & cupcakes. The fruit skewers were the highlight as the sliders were just OK & the cupcakes laughable (served on pizza boxes btw). When I expressed my disappointment I was told "well, we aren't a bakery".😳 But you quoted me prices & show baked goods on your website. What we were served was definitely not worth the money spent....
