Chef Jimmy Dean and his staff were fabulous start to finish. They were welcoming kind and accommodating to any needs prior to event and the Fay of the food was superb and the hospitality his staff provided was spectacular. I used chef jimmy dean for a Friendsgiving / birthday feast and one of the best presents I ever gave myself especially during a pandemic where we haven’t seen our friends in 9 plus months ! I strongly recommend chef jimmy dean for any party event dinner or catering needs you will not be disappointed I promise.

I hired Chef Jimmy for my Wedding, it was a very small and private event just family and our closest friends. I couldn't be happier, Chef Jimmy made my night. The food was excellent, all of our guest were so impressed on how wonderful and fresh the food was. The service that the waiters brought was a 5 star. they were friendly, helpful and very attentive. I would definitely recommend and will hire again Chef Jimmy and his waiting staff.

We hired Chef Jimmy Dean to cater our wedding reception. Communication with Jimmy was extremely easy as he was accessible and planned a great menu from the start base on our conversation. Jimmy and his team arrived at the scheduled time and had everything set up and ready to go for us when we arrived. The display of food was truly beautiful and just like we’d discussed. Our guest kept raving about how good the food was and wanted to know where it came from. I would highly recommend Jimmy and his team to anyone looking for quality catering and I certainly plan on using him again in the future.

I would highly recommend Jimmy and his crew for any event! We hired him for our son’s first birthday- not only was he super responsive and helpful in planning the menu, but he helped me with getting tables, chairs, benches and tents. As for the food, he helped me pick items that were suitable for kids and adults so everyone was happy. Everything was fresh and cooked to perfection. Every single one of our guests complimented the food and unbelievable service by Jimmy and his guys. I would give him 10 stars if I could!
