Eileen is amazing! Her food is delicious! I recently had an an accident that took me off of my feet. Unable to shop, unable to cook and did NOT want to start the whole take-out thing with bad oils and overly salted food. Eileen has been delivering me 4 meals a week (for 2 people), with deliveries twice a week to ensure that the food is fresh. All meals have heating instructions and she is willing to work with allergies, likes, dislikes and preferences. The portions are generous and the food is great. Every night feels like we're eating at a fine dining restaurant. Eileen is super responsive and friendly. Cannot recommend her highly enough!

If you're looking for a five-star chef experience, look no further than Chef Eileen! I found her through a Yelp search, and from start to finish, the process was seamless. Eileen was efficient, kind, and incredibly responsive. We connected through Yelp, and before I knew it, we had moved the conversation to text. She was direct yet flexible, open to different styles of cuisine, and worked with me to create a menu that fit my budget. Within just a few hours, I had a tailored menu that blew me away.Her reviews on Yelp already spoke highly of her skills, and I'm here to add to the chorus of praise! The food she prepared for my annual holiday lunch was nothing short of exceptional--fresh, flavorful, and cooked with so much care and love. My family was spoiled with a feast that left everyone raving! Not only was the meal unforgettable, but there were also plenty of leftovers. Everyone packed up extras for their lunch and dinner, and I personally enjoyed the deliciousness for two more days.Chef Eileen delivered a menu for 12 that exceeded all expectations, and she's local and willing to deliver--an added bonus! I will absolutely be calling her again and encourage you to do the same. Don't hesitate--she's a gem! Everything was so good I forgot to take pics!!!

Eileen was referred to me by a friend to cater my father's memorial reception. Obviously, this was a difficult time for our family. Eileen worked patiently with me with me on a menu that included vegan options for some guests including me! All of the food was delicious and Eileen and her staff were warm and supportive, which was greatly appreciated during this emotional time.

Eileen and her team were fantastic in catering our whiskey holiday party. They showed up on time even though the storm of the decade was hitting san francisco. we did an hour of passed apps, all of which were delicious and filling before drinking a lot!The cheese and charcuterie platters were fantastic, great selection.And the big finale, the bourbon bread pudding, was the perfect finish to a night of drinking whiskey. Eileen was super easy to work with, and was great communicating menus and working through changes as the event came near.As a former chef myself, I would 100% recommend Eileen for your party needs!

"What's Cookin" has provided catering for Meek's Contractor Appreciation Night events at the Meek's lumber store in Vacaville for the past three years. Chef Eileen and her staff have always provided wonderful service and excellent food which is why Meek's continues to use her year after year. Her crew is extremely attentive to every detail and ensures that every Meek's customer attending these events (250 - 300 in count) feels taken care of. That's quite an accomplishment. Chef Eileen has earned this 5-star rating and is highly recommended.

We recently hired What's Cookin' (Eileen Evans) to cater our family birthday party to celebrate a special milestone. She offered a varied menu and the food more than met our expectations. She was very willing to accommodate our needs with respect to time and location and she and her assistant contributed to making our event a resounding success. We will definitely consider her for any future catering needs.

My family has hired What's Cookin' for two Thanksgiving meals, with at least 12 people attending. The service was beyond reproach and the dinners were outstanding. Also Eileen has provided my husband and me with incredible meals during the week,from time to time.Our requests are always accepted. She also is prompt on delivery,and very willing to work with us for us for a smooth no hassle service. She was extremely gracious with my family and guests. I highly recommend What's Cookin' for a wonderful experience.

I cannot believe this lady is in business. How can you call 30 minutes after you are expected to be somewhere to say you are just now on your way but will be stopping at the store still, and then end up being nearly TWO HOURS late... especially to something as important as bridal shower! It was EXTREMELY unprofessional to show up late, the food was mediocre at best, and she was NOT a peach to deal with once she finally arrived. Although I did not let this ruin my time, I felt very bad for the my mother (of the bride) who put so much effort, thought and planning into this bridal shower for me to enjoy. I am very unhappy with her service and I am astounded that she still charged my mom full price... you show up 2 hours late and actually ask to be paid in full! She won't be in business for long if she does this to all of her clients. RIP OFF!! I would have given her zero stars if yelp had allowed.
