I attended a wedding yesterday in Lincoln that you catered. Just wanted to say the food was awesome. The beef, chicken and salmon were tender and tasty. Thank you for the great dinner!

Thanks again Tom for the great food, super-fast serving lines, very nice staff who even helped clear guests’ plates, discount on price, use of tubs for beverages, being so easy to work with and punctual!  You helped make it the best Cancer Center Picnic ever (I am told)!

I wanted to send a note of thanks.  From the first moment on the phone you made my job very easy for the planning of the Safety BBQ here at NID. I am very appreciative of your kindness, professionalism and of course how yummy your food was. Everyone at the District talked about how great the food was.  Again, I say thank you!!!

Thank you so much for catering our wedding on 9/5/15. Everyone loved the food and raved about the meatballs.

~Thanks, Peter & Ciera Sewell

“Everyone was delighted and impressed with the BBQ on Sunday. The plentiful food was truly delicious and appreciated. All kept remarking about how well seasoned, tender and melt-in-your-mouth both the tri-tip and chicken were.

Lisa was a true gem; very social, polite, interesting AND a terrific chef!  And what a hoot it was to have Jerrilyn show up!  She and I worked together for years, and she knew many of our guests. She was lively, witty and great fun to see as she assisted Lisa.

All in all, it was a perfect BBQ and we were most grateful we were the recipients of the Nevada City Chamber of Commerce’s silent auction for your generous donation.”

~Thanks so much, Karen and Frank 2015

~Terra and Ian Falconer 2015

“Words cannot express our sincere appreciation for the wonderful job you did for our party last Friday.

Your BBQ was amazing – and yes, your ribs are THE BEST we have ever had. And your corn – so yummy! Everyone loved everything! And your BBQ rig outside the Hall was a great addition to our country celebration.

But it wasn’t only your food that was so wonderful. You were a gracious host for my guests and I sincerely appreciated that. Several people mentioned to me how wonderful “Tom and Jerry” were and how much your presence and personality added to our event.

So thank you for such a wonderful job!”

“Bills Chuckwagon was delicious and easy to deal with. We selected a basic beef and chicken BBQ with salad, potatoes and garlic bread. The owner was flexible with my guest count up until the week before the wedding. Unlike many places that require final head count 30 days before, he allowed me to change mine all the way to a week before. This was really nice so that I didn’t end up paying for people who had cancelled. Being the bride, I quickly shoveled all the food in my mouth, but from what I can remember, it was delicious. Many of our guests have actually mentioned how good they thought the food was. Meat was tender and delicious and potatoes were perfect. I would recommend to anyone looking for a simple BBQ caterer for a reasonable price.”

“Thank you so much for cooking all the amazing food for our wedding! It was everything we could have asked for!”

“Thank you so much for catering our company picnic yesterday.
We have used a lot of caterers throughout our 30 years and I don’t think we have ever had the meal prep and service go so smoothly and taste so good! You showed up right on time, the dinner bell rang at exactly 5:00 and there was plenty of food.  Your assistant Lisa was great as was Tina the bartender. Thank you so much, we really appreciate your company!”
