Kangaroo Kitchen And Catering

Favorite caterer in GR. Hands down. I’ve used Kangaroo multiple times over the years. So when it was time to choose a caterer for my wedding, I was confident they could knock it out of the park. And they did! The food was amazing, Romen, the owner, made helpful suggestions on the menu and helped craft my “stations” idea. The number one thing guests commented on was the food. They accommodated our guests that were vegetarian and had celiac. Samantha even remembered I didn’t like cilantro and had the chefs leave it out of certain dishes.The staff really went above and beyond. When the rental company showed up over an hour late, they pitched in to set up tables, chairs, linens, and place decorations. You can trust them with your event.

Kangaroo Kitchen was amazing throughout the entire process. They were quick to respond and accommodating to any requests. The food was fantastic, everyone is raved about it. They were even thoughtful enough to bring us a couple of the apps from happy hour and send us home with any leftovers.

First, the good: Kangaroo was awesome in many ways. They were responsive, detail oriented, and helpful during the planning process. The apps at our cocktail hour were delicious and the service was good throughout the night. Our tasting was amazing.The bad: When it came to the actual dinner at our wedding, we were pretty disappointed. The portions were much smaller, the plating less attractive, and the taste was totally average wedding food compared to the awesome tasting. Some things about the dishes had definitely been changed for the worse.Additionally, the vendors working at cocktail hour were NOT well-versed in dietary restrictions and allergies. I am gluten free, and no one I asked on the waitstaff could not tell me which passed apps I could eat, even though my husband and I had intentionally picked out multiple GF options. The staff just kept repeating that things were vegetarian, which clearly wasn't helpful. It seems like all of the staff need better training on dietary restrictions. (During planning, a staff member also tried to remove the cheese on everyone's salads for those people who picked the vegetarian entree, assuming everyone was vegan just because they wanted the option without meat). After hearing many wonderful things about Kangaroo, we were pretty disappointed after the big day. Hopefully it was just a fluke for us.

Ashley and Roman were both phenomenal to work with throughout the Kangaroo Catering process. They made wonderful sample dishes and made us confident in our choices for our dishes. The appetizers were incredible. Their staff was so helpful and professional on the day of the event. The dinner turned out excellent. People had enough food to eat to dance all night! The food turned out lovely and people really enjoyed the meal. The food also came out promptly for a plated meal and the staff seemed very organized. Their communication was thorough and thoughtful. Thank you so much again Kangaroo team!

Kangaroo Kitchen did a FABULOUS job with our wedding at the Cheney Place. Not only was the food delicious, but the staff is very knowledgeable about allergens, which coming from a food beverage background, was very important to me. We received compliments all night long and after the wedding. We had around 175 guests, and with two buffet lines, all guests were fed within 20 minutes which was amazing.Logistically, the team was easy to work with, and all fees were well laid out within the estimate and final bill, and nothing was hidden. I'd highly recommend Kangaroo Kitchen for any event!
