Reviews for eat - catering and carry-out in Ann Arbor, MI
I used them to cater an event last summer and people are STILL talking about how delicious the food was! And not just one item... stood out, everything was fantastic! They were so accommodating and helpful; really enjoyed working with the staff. Also, I usedthe small event catering option where I picked up the food vs them bringing it and having staff at the event. It was exactlywhat I needed for the event as it wasn't too big. I highly recommend them! Read more
I was pleasantly surprised at how amazing the menu and catering was here. EAT catered an event for us on campus yesterday and it... was the best experience! They arrived early, set up was a breeze, and all of the food was delicious! (I tried one of everything)they by far have the best sweet potato pie I?ve ever had. I will definitely recommend EAT for future catering events and plan tofrequent the restaurant more! Read more
We hired Eat to cater our wedding this summer, and, as much as we really wanted to like working with them, it was entirely... frustrating and we would not recommend them to anyone in the future. The Good: The best part of working with Eat was that theyhandled the rentals for dishes, utensils, water goblets, and champagne flutes, and we appreciated that we were easily able toupgrade to gold flatware. They would have handled the rentals for linens as well, but they were far more expensive than justbuying them ourselves. We also LOVED our bartenders (Scotty & Zhandy), who were hired through Eat. Being able to add on a latenight snack was also a fun aspect of working with Eat. We added the build-your-own coney dog bar, and it went over well with ourguests. The Bad: Working with Kayla was anything but easy. I overlooked a lot of red flags, writing them off as, "She'sprobably super busy since 2021 is a hectic wedding year after 2020 being a bust". And I'm sure that Kayla was busy, but when weare spending a large chunk of money for catering, we expect a certain level of professionalism. Kayla was not timely at all andwas so disorganized. To give some examples--1) when trying to schedule a tasting, it took almost a month and 2 follow-up emailsto her just to hear back about availability, 2) she never told us anything about rental deliveries coming on Friday to drop offand back on Sunday to pick up--a little heads up that we would be asked to sign paperwork at both times and have to help thedelivery person find/collect missing dishes would have been nice...how were we suppose to know where the catering team hid thedessert plates??, 3) when we had a phone call to go over the final timeline (which was at her request), she was totallyunprepared--she said she had misplaced our papers, which resulted in us having to go over things we had already gone overmultiple times, and 4) well after our wedding took place, we still had to ask multiple times and in multiple ways ( Read more
We LOVE this place! Appropriately priced, fresh , real food. Several options for noncarnivors, but not vegan.(can be). I try to... be a dedicated home cook but when that isn't feasible EAT never disappoints. Best chocolate pudding around. Read more
I showed up because I am new to the area and heard so much about this place. I am not a picky eater so I just told the server to... give me whatever he would eat if he was on break! He did NOT disappoint! The food was great and cooked fresh! My server's namewas Brendan and he was awesome! He asked what my son's name was and as unique as it is, Brendan is the ONLY person that has everacknowledged it's origin! (Zidane) I was blown away by the amazing customer service, the food was awesome! Thank you so much! Read more
Went there twice in one day. Fries are amazing. Tuna melt twice and the the Cuban
The food was absolutely delicious. For the food alone, I'd give 5 stars, but there were just a few problems (that could easily... be fixed). I'll obviously start with the food. I had the grilled tempeh sandwich and, as I'm pretty newly vegetarian, this wasmy first experience with tempeh -- and it definitely won't be my last. The tempeh is marinated in some sort of soy sauceconcoction, so the asian flavors really came out, especially with the spicy mayo and cucumbers. I could eat this sandwich everyday. My boyfriend had the Korean beef sandwich, which he also loved. I obviously didn't try it, so I can't give too manyspecifics... But he said the beef was tender, the sauce was great, and it looked to be pretty decently sized. The sandwichesdon't come with fried but we got a side of them, and I didn't even think to ask what they're fried in -- which is kind of aconcern because they use lard in their pie crusts and advertise free bacon fat with a "Larder" purchase. I still ate some of thefries (because I'd already eaten a few before I realized I didn't ask about the frying medium) and they are delicious. Supercrispy and handcut. I'd hope with the vegetarian and vegan options they offer that the fries would be, too. Speaking ofvegetarian and vegan, they do have quite a few options, including some on their specials list. I actually had several items tochoose from, and while it was a hard choice, I surely don't regret the tempeh. However, I do wish their pies didn't have lard inthe crust, because the apple pie in the case looked bomb. Now for the negatives. The place seats 8 people, max. Probablycomfortably more like 6 or 7 -- it's absolutely tiny. It has 4 bar stools and one booth, but I'm assuming they do a lot of takeout. When we came in it was empty, but by the time we left there were 3 or 4 people waiting around for orders/take out, so itwas a bit of a shuffle to get out. Other than that, I'd maybe recommend they use different glasses for their water a Read more
Food was good, they seem to have seasonal(?) specials besides their regular menu. Seating is limited as the name suggests.
