Hannibal's Catering & Events

BEWARE. We will never again order from Hannibal's. They charge for full service catering but treat your event like a door dash order. We are deeply disappointed. Breach of contract & substandard customer service for full service catering. Our executive luncheon was not delivered as agreed upon. Our concerns were first brought to the attention of management in real-time, on the day-of the event, in the hopes of finding a resolution. Our concerns were disregarded. First - We had to open the salad dressing containers ourselves (splashed on our clothing), pour them into the bowls (which also splashed on our clothing), and spilled dressing on our table cloths. We also had to unwrap every meal item, which was very inconvenient. Peeling the plastic wrapping from the many large bowls of salads was very difficult. I do not understand why we were left to do this for our own event. Second - Hors d'oeuvres were intended to be served approximately 1.5 hours after the lunch meal, not only to ensure freshness but to initiate the start of the third part of the event. To our surprise, the lunch meal and the hors d'oeuvres were placed out at the same time, which was not according to the contract agreement signed.Third - We asked for the caterer to return after the event to retrieve their equipment and clean up. They refused. We spoke with management who was dismissive and very adamant about being unable to return to pick up their equipment and clean up - another breach of contract.

Worst catering ever. We had them cater a 92 person dinner for Yolo Sportsman's association. It was supposed to be Tri Tip and chicken. The chicken was as hard as beef jerk and dry as cardboard. The Tri tip was not tri tip we think it was a cheap cut of meat like London broil and it had a freezer taste. They sent a server that certainly was not happy to be there. And to top it off they charged almost $40 a person. Hannibal's food may be great at the restaurant but their catering for us was horrible !!! Never again !!!

My last and current employers have been using Hannibals for the last 2 decades so I have probably tried most everything they offer. Their food is solidly good, but not mouthwatering fantastic. Whenever they say there are leftovers, I usually don't go back. The meats tend to be overcooked. I will say the breakfast buffet is the best with best value vs competitors. However, the service is very good. They drop off whatever you need (Utensils, plates, tongs, condiments etc) and come pick it up promptly. Have not had an issue with time or not getting what we ordered. You can customize a lot and their menus are varied from basic box lunches to full dinners. You can also hire a staff person to serve. They are the best place to order when you just don't have the time to think about all the details. Always try to support the small business so try them out!

Thank you, Hanibal's, for a delicious meal served at a memorial reception lunch in Sacramento today. The Tuscan Chicken was tasty, perfectly stuffed with spinach and topped with the most amazing sauce. The grilled veggies were also cooked perfectly.

I used Hannibal's for 10 years at one of my old jobs for lunch meetings, but I recently hired them for our holiday work party and we were very pleased with the outcome. There were a couple of communication issues when going over the catering contract, but other than that, Event Coordinator Catherine was a breeze to work with!On the menu was Bruschetta, Crab Sushi Rolls, Smoked Salmon, Assorted Mini Focaccia Rounds, Deep Fried Pumpkin Raviolis, Chicken Satay, Empanadas and Petite Sliders. We also had an assortment of holiday desserts!We ordered enough food to feed over 450 employees and everyone loved the food!The caterers arrived 3 hours before the event and setup one of our boardrooms like a forestry winter wonderland. The caterers were great at replenishing the appetizers and communicating when we were running low on items. My only issue is that I wish they would have put signs next to the food so people knew what each item was. Hannibal's made throwing a holiday party easy and we will definitely be hiring them again in the future! Highly recommend!

Horrible set up. Was not professional AT ALL. I will never use them again. Or recommend this company to anyone. I states my concerns. Nothing was done. I paid $2300 for a horrible set up. The items i purchased and set up looked better than this company. Please don't use this company. They toldMe if i spend more money. I would look like the website. Bs

Awesome service and food. Lots of it provided. Very fresh. Sandwiches had lots of meat. Fruit salad was fresh and pasta salad was tasty. We had lots of compliments from guests. Very easy working with the staff to get exactly what we wanted. It's a little pricey but you definitely get what you pay for. I'd use them again.

Hannibal's catered my office's 2021 Holiday Luncheon yesterday! Our menu included:Herb-crusted Prime Rib Roast served with Au Jus and Horseradish CreamHerb-roasted Turkey Breast with Sage GravySeasonal Vegetable LasagnaSweet Potato with Pecan and Brown Sugar GlazeRoasted Garlic Mashed PotatoesGreen Bean and AlmondCranberry Orange RelishFestive Winter Salad (mixed winter greens with sun-dried cranberries, feta cheese, red onion, candied walnuts and citrus champagne vinaigrette)Broccoli, Apple and Almond Salad (sun-dried cranberries, red onions, creamy honey cider dressing)Fresh baked rolls and butterChef's choice holiday desserts (brownies, cream puffs, pies)Two female staff set up the chafing dishes, carved the prime rib and even cleared plates from our table settings in the main room! Everything was great, so much food. Both salads were tasty, sides complemented well. The sweet potato/yam was my favorite. The slice of prime rib I got was huge -- in the photo it was folded so that can be misleading but that's the only way it would fit on the plate!

Thank you to Hannibal's Catering. We hosted a celebration of life over this past weekend and were extremely pleased with the company. From start to finish, the communication with the office, timely arrival of the catering staff, lovely presentation, and of course delicious food, made this event a huge success. Serving hot food to a large crowd is challenging. Hannibal's did not disappoint. Their attention to detail was superb and we are very grateful to have worked with them.

The event they were hired for, was to include tri tip and chicken. The tri tip was beyond nasty. It was overcooked, tasted like cardboard and I don't think it was tri tip! Their chicken was drier than a bone. It was obvious they had most of this food frozen for a while before thawing. It was NOT fresh. I also bake and could tell their cookies they brought for dessert were frozen for such a long period of time they tasted like freezer burn, and had zero taste. This was 100% obvious. I would never consider this place and the event they catered had enough complaints of the food, that it was embarrassing.
