JC Cooks Catering & Chef Services

I catered a dinner for 2 to our Airbnb in Fredericksburg. I proposed that night so it was definitely a special night for us. Joyce was on-time, came prepared, and not to mention the food was great!!We had focaccia with olive oil, grilled peach salad, a charcuterie board, sausage empanadas, paella with lobster, sausage, chicken, mussels and shrimp, and to cap it off creme brulee . The charcuterie board was average but everything else was exceptional!She even drive an hour to Fredericksburg to deliver and helped prep the table while I proposed. With covid going on we didn't want to sit down and a restaurant and most were only take out anyway. She came through to create the romantic dinner I had hoped for. Although it was pricey, that is expected when cooking for 2 and delivering an hour away. Not to mention there was lots of food. More than 2 meals each person which makes it a much better deal.I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking to cater a large group or for a special night for a few friends.

We used JC Cooks as out caterer for a corporate event. Joyce was really easy to work with and help me navigate what choices to make on the menu. Food was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend her!

I did not go with JC Cooks for my event, because I had already made a tentative commitment with a prior chef. I was looking for a 'Plan B' in case the first one fell thru. The food selections provided by JC Cooks looked delicious, and her responsiveness to my questions was extremely quick. I would not hesitate to give her a try on my next event.

My wife and I chose JC Cooks based upon the good reviews online. First let me say that this review will be biased by her 2 1/3 hours late arrival to our event. The late arrival caused chaos and confusion with us all and the scramble to get everyone served and requiring us to do our own setup while waiting for her arrival. While most of our guests enjoyed the food my personal thoughts are that none of the items were exceptional and some were not hot enough. We also had agreed upon ice cream to accompany the cobbler for dessert and she chose not to bring any in fear that it would melt. Luckily I had bought some to have on hand. I wish her well and believe she can do an adequate job but cannot recommend her based upon our experiences.

Joyce catered our Church Christmas party . She was very friendly ,happy, & obviously loves what she does! Made us all a wonderful 3 course meal. Would definitely recommend her to anyone.

While the menu is diverse, the quality control is lacking and the chef is usually under the influence of more than a glass of wine.

Excellent all around service. Felt very comfortable with Joyce in my home! Great food and Great service.

Excellent communication,clear quote, and performed services exactly as hired.Presentation was excellent, great food and timing as specified.Would recommend and hire again.
