Jedd YlaganThe best service we’ve experienced and such amazing tasting food! This company will lever up your wedding food or for really any occasion! They even made stuff that wasn’t really a part of the menu online, so the options are really great :)
Tracy LamoureuxUsed for a company work party. All the dishes had their own flavor. Best EVER! Friendly and on time. Outstanding.
Andy PattonHighly recommend Good Buds for wedding, really great food. Jeremy and Johnny will take care of you !
Michelle ConanWe had Good Buds cater my parent’s 40th anniversary party, a private dinner for 10 in their home. The food was incredible, 7 courses of amazing, unique dishes. Everyone had a different favourite course! The catering team was on time, friendly and engaging. We loved having them explain every dish. They brought in everything they needed to cook and serve, and our kitchen was cleaner when they left than it was before they got there! It was such a great experience I would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique, intimate experience!
Joanne BernierJeremy and Jonathan are so friendly and know their stuff! Their food is delicious and you won’t be disappointed.
Allison FaithHad a great experience at their recent tasting. The food was great!
Eli MastervickGreat company to work with. We use them for all our company functions. Jonathan is very easy to work with. And very accommodating to any needs.
Mae SantosThe taquitos and West Indian patties we ordered came in 12’s, frozen and ready to cook. Easy to order and they offer drop off. They were so delicious! Served them at a party and everyone loved them. Would order again.
KellyWow what a wonderful experience dealing with this group! They came to my home for a private dinner party and took care of everything (plates, cutlery, cleanup, cocktails) !! Food and drinks were absolutely amazing and all the staff were so pleasant. I really enjoyed having them cater our dinner of 8. Would definitely use again!!! Thank you!!!
