Thomas Catering

First of all I want to say that the food is very good. Very well prepared. Melissa was great in the order placement process.
The service is the reason for the rating.
I contracted Thomas Catering for a Memorial service and was assured that it would arrive on time and be set up by their personnel. Well they arrived 15 minutes late, my guests were already arriving for a noon event. Because I was on the phone with the driver who was lost and every time I would call for a follow-​up was told I am two miles away and told this for 15 minutes, i was not able to greet my guests. Then to make matters worse, I had to ask a few of my guests to help her off load the car because it was to heavy for her. I pay a caterer so that I would not have to do this. Then she also gets upset because I did not have carts for her. She had a bad attitude. Also, if you are going to have a person answer the phone at your office, at least have someone who can speak English and know what orders are for that particular day.
I realize that this is the busy season, but if you do not have qualified staff, don’t overbook! Most caterers have two people delivering. You do not interrupt an event and ask guests to help set up.

We use Thomas Catering for our office meetings and member appreciation events. They are friendly, professional, and the food is delicious! The chicken marsala is so moist and the bread is to die for. The guests at the events give nothing but compliments to «whoever you got that food from» :) They have even driven out to do an event for our Chino office! Top notch service and delicious food!

Their chicken dishes are dry!!! Very nasty and their brownies for dessert are chalky tasting.
They cater at my work and I’m not sure why we go with them. And they seem to run out of food … Poor planning Thomas

I received a few recommendations for Thomas Catering and decided to use them to cater a large family gathering. Melissa was very pleasant to work with during the planning phase but I was unfortunately very disappointed by the food and the presentation. To begin with, they used styrofoam plates even though I was specifically told that they would use heavy duty plastic. The potatoes and chicken marsala were mushy and overloaded with salt. The tri tip was dry and overcooked. The green bean almandine not only was void of any actual almonds, but it was surely from a can. The green salad was just chopped iceberg (no tomatoes, cucumbers, etc) that probably came from a bag and the dressings were set on the table in the large plastic storage containers used to transport them. It all reminded me of bad cafeteria food, which is not what one expects when hiring a caterer. Needless to say, the best thing they have going for them is the friendly service but I would never recommend them based on the food.

Wonderful to work with! The communication in advance was excellent. The food delicious what was supposed to be hot was hot and what was supposed to be cold was cold! Set up, Service and clean up were amazing!
I would recommend them for your event

My company has used this caterer for several events in SW Riverside County and could not be happier with the food and service. We feed many senior citizens and Thomas Catering delivers fresh, healthy and hot food. They are reliable and we plan on using them again.
