Pop Up Chefs did an immaculate job! From meeting Chef Whitney to the actual event the process was smooth like butter! Pop Up Chefs offered a free tasting prior to the event, and Chef Whitney carried her self with such integrity! She respected our home and had enough food not only for myself and my wife but for my parents as well to try. The day of the event I was not even there to greet Chef Whitney and her team for them to set up but when I arrived all the food was there laid out beautifully and the server was one of a kind. She was so pleasant to be around and whenever you needed her she seem to appear out of thin air. If you are thinking of a catering company to take care of you, these guys are punctual, move with integrity, and have incredible food! 5/5 Stars!!!! (AND NO THIS ISN’T a PAID REVIEW 😂😂😂)

I LOVE Whitney & her team! She responded very quickly after the research in finding a chef last minute to cater my 60th Birthday party! What a delightful experience! I was a little nervous about getting the food out all at once. Meaning we had steaks for 20 people. Her and her staff did excellent! Food was done properly and on time! Everyone said that the food and steaks were delicious!!! I would definitely contact her again!!!

Unbelievable, wonderful service from Chef Whitney, Josh, and crew! Everyone at my wedding RAVED about the food! I had no experience hiring a caterer and was nervous to commit but they put together a tasting and truly blew us away. It was a wonderful experience working with Chef Whitney. She is attentive and met every dietary request we had… she managed to figure out details of the buffet set up and rolled with the changes and made a beautiful presentation of the food. Home made food from a talented chef! I am blown away and highly recommend these guys to any and everyone!

I had a 10 party guest and Joshua and Axel were awesome. Arrived on time, set up quick, food was delicious, and they both were so friendly and polite. I was not disappointed at all. Before the party Joshua communicated with me all the way through to make sure I was satisfied with the menu and my options. I would definitely recommend Pop Up Chef to anyone wanting to cater a small to large event. Thank you so much guys.

We hired pop up chefs for our NYE event . Whitney was par excellence with her organization . Loved her enthusiasm and timely responses. She went above and beyond in helping us with purchases and , planning , which gave me peace of mind to focus on other details. Axiel was a pleasure and received plenty of compliments from all our guests , who started inquiring about him already. He circled around and made sure to meet the needs of everyone. His service and attitude was simply superb. We will sure be using their services for any future events. We wish them the best and continued success !
