Chef Shells just catered my wedding in Port Sanilac on June 24, 2023. The food itself was decent, but nothing to rave about. However, the food and staff were an hour late for dinner and when I had my maid of honor call to see where they were, she had to call 15+ times to get someone to answer. After the staff arrived they quickly set up and started calling tables. When I spoke with their catering staff over the phone, I paid for (and ordered) 160 plates. We had approximately 140 guests, and we ran out of food after the first 100 were served. The staff continued to blame "the bride" (me) saying that was all that [she] ordered. They were supposed to portion out the food for each guest, yet stood around while letting guests serve themselves at the buffet. I paid for 3 servers to be there to serve guests and all they did was replenish the trays at the buffet as they were getting low. The catering was the biggest disappointment of my...
Read moreChef Shell catered the rehersal dinner for my son's wedding. They came and set up at the Best Western as promised and provided all the plates, napkins and utensils. The food was amazing. When you don't live in an area, finding a caterer and making arrangements from out of town for a big event is stressful, but Jeanie was great and walked me thorugh all my choices. (I am celiac and she knew every ingredient in every dish off the top of her head, so I felt very comfortable that I could eat both main dishes, as well as the root vegetables) In the end we had the BBQ Pulled Pork, Honey Glazed Chicken,. Mac & Cheese, Roasted Root Vegetables, Pasta Salad and Garden Salad. There was plenty of food for everyone and lots of leftovers. I made the leftover chicken into chicken salad for the post-wedding brunch and it was so moist. Would use them again if we ever come...
Read moreI have never written a bad review on anything and I really don't know where to start. I was not impressed... They catered my 30th class reunion. We paid $35 per person. I'm guessing we paid for the Port Huron Yacht Club, but I honestly don't know what we paid for. My wife and I arrived 10 minutes after the reunion started. Talked for about 10 minutes then went to grab some food. The cheese tray already looked like the cheese had been out for hours. The veggie tray already looked picked over, but sadly only about 20 people were there at the time. The meatballs were horrible and the pulled pork was dry. I never give bad reviews and I pray this is constructive criticism. I can get a fully catered professionally prepared meal in Clinton Township for far less than what I paid for this disgusting...
