Culinary Art Catering

My job ordered sandwiches for the entire company, my department had a good variety of different sandwiches. I had the grilled pesto chicken sandwich and it was horrible!!! You could smell the pesto but not taste it, the chicken wasn’t cooked in some spots, the chicken was rubbery and the sandwich basically consisted of a ton of bread that drowned out any hopes of tasting anything else. My co-​worker got the «Cali» Turkey Club sandwich and basically threw most of it away. The label said the sandwich had bacon, avocado and other yummy things but very few people actually had those items in their sandwiches. The ones who did, threw the avocado away because it was disgusting. Lastly the roast beef sandwich claimed to come with cheese spread, the ones that had any spread was about the width of a cracker, my coworker said his roast beef sandwich was drier than the Sahara desert! The cookie was okay!!! On a positive note, the Lays potato chips were the best thing in my bag o’ sandwich. I’d be pissed if I would’ve been the one that paid for these sandwiches but sadly my company did and I hope they never do again!!!

Our annual Christmas party was held for the second year at Addison Convention Center.
The Center suggests Culinary Art Catering for a good reason. Culinary Arts does a great job.
The service and quality of their offerings are great. I would suggest them to anyone.

I work for a church and we have used Culinary Art Catering several times. On their part, working with a church can prove difficult at times because our budget is lower, our expectations higher and our guest count changes up until the week of the event. Their staff is very easy to work with (particularly Vivian as she is my primary contact) and the food is delicious! They’ve always delivered fresh, hot food at the time we’ve requested and I thoroughly enjoy receiving the numerous compliments on the food from our guests. Can’t ask for more than that.
Thank you, Culinary Art!

They were late for a corporate event I was hosting. Completely unacceptable.

This company is 5 stars hands down. All of my guests raved about the food and that it was the best wedding food they have ever had. They were so flexible and easy to work with. We had some last minute changes that they acted like was no big deal. All of the food was displayed beautifully. The coordinator Maggie was amazing. She was like a wedding planner to us. We hadn’t met her prior to our wedding but she made us feel very comfortable. She made sure me and my husband were fed and consoled my mom when she was having her emotional panic. I was so impressed by everything they did for us!

Looking at them for my reception — they were very friendly, knew the date, invited me to a tasting (which was delicious), all was good — until out of the blue they told me that as of X month they wouldn’t be able to cater to my venue because they were moving… They knew from day one the date of my event and where it was, and they wait until I’m ready to start talking specifics before they tell me, oh by the way we won’t be able to? Complete waste of my time.
They even had the gall to tell me that if there was «flexibility with my venue» they could still help me out. Sorry, not going to change my already reserved venue so you can be the «chosen» caterer. Asked them if they had anyone else they could recommend in the area, and of course not, they didn’t have a single recommendation…
Horrible way to do business. In the end I’m glad this happened earlier rather than later as they clearly are not a customer centric business…

We did not receive anything close to a good experience with this caterer. They were very pleasant to deal with and offered to deliver everything we wanted and more and we were over the moon thrilled with the proposal and entire plan when the event came closer the plans we discussed were priced much higher than initially discussed so we had to reduce our initial plans. When the proposal had to be reduced, Vivian became very short and abrupt with us and rarely returned calls. We were passed on to different girls for assistance with our event which we found important but clearly they did not and in the end we took our business elsewhere. It’s ironic now that we are getting ready to plan a wedding and they are nowhere on our list. Be careful, with this caterer, money is the most important part of the event — how much and how fast they get it. Vivian has one personality that is very nice and one that you need to be wary of if you decide you might need to cut back a bit, that Vivian was scary and unaccommodating to say the least. If it’s an important event, I would look for someone that will value you regardless of your budget, especially if they assure you they can accommodate you. Found them to be overly concerned with the finances in the end when in the beginning they make you believe they care about you and your event. Be careful and make sure you get EVERYTHING in writing. The Chef may choose to refute this as much as he would like, this happened, he also knows that you might read this and will affect you. We did not work with them, they cancelled in under 7 days of our event so that on it’s own via email was and remains highly unprofessional. You should remember big or small that when you agree to an event then you should see it through so I stick with this opinion100%. Planning a wedding now, you won’t be getting a call from us.

Let me start by saying THANK YOU! to everyone on staff at this small business; they were instrumental in making sure we had the best food and service possible…
My wife and I used them back in April of 2010 for our wedding; we found them in a pinch after our other cater back out at the last minute leaving my wife and myself both completely lost with how to make sure we would be covered for the event. my wife happened to drive by there shop and we gave them a try;
I was working two jobs at the time and they worked with my schedule to get me in for the tastinbg before hand of the menu that they specially hand crafted based on our design with their head chef /​owner! Spectacular service and even better food when we Left the tasting it was like a big weight lifted our my shoulders having them set up for the event.
They were so good at my wedding that everyone was talking about the food even the next time or two i spoke to them in person or on the phone!
they even did my dad’s weddding in 2011 last year as well!
and my friends wedding as well.
Their service and food is epic and I will continue to use the for any events that I hold in Dallas to make sure they go their very best! Thank you again from my whole family and great job!
