Posted on Google Millie's On MainTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The team helped a referral we provided for a film shoot that came to st. petersburg. After talking to our client, they said it was some of the best food on set they had ever had. The film shoot lasted two weeks and the team took care of all of their set up of tables and chairs, provided three meals a day and cleaned up. We would refer them again in a heartbeat!Posted on Google Ray & Cathy TrapaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris & team catered a chef's table dinner at our holmes beach rental for friends and family. From the start, chris was so friendly, helpful and kind. We talked about NYC, food we loved and missed, and our crazy italian families. It's rare to connect with someone providing a service these days and that made all the difference to us. They prepared an amazing meal with appetizers (I loved the edamame dumplings and the shrimp cocktail) short rib that was melt in your mouth, some of the best mashed potatoes I've ever had, and made a lovely berry tiramisu dessert. They even made a special plate for our family dog which was so cute! We had a great time having them for our party and highly recommend Royal Flamingo Catering!Posted on Google Jillian HebelTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Chris and his team did an excellent job catering our event. Everything was handled from the tables, linens, food, set up and take down. Very professional and thoughtful touches. Would highly recommend!Posted on Google Weston TranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Ryan helped me out a lot, had a last minute gathering and they were able to knock out a snacking table quickly! Highly recommend for all your catering needs!Posted on Google Gabriel CaballeroTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I attended an event in Sarasota and the food was unlike any other food at an event I have had before. It was amazing and so professional. Staff were friendly and everything looked so nicely done. Thinking about booking them myself!!!Posted on Google stephanie TrapaniTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was at a friend’s party the other day and Royal Flamingo catered the event. The food was fresh and delicious and the staff were helpful and friendly! I really enjoyed the appetizers that were generously being passed around, as well as the elegantly set up grazing platters too. They also did the bar and did a wonderful job all around. I plan on hiring them for my wedding next year!Posted on Google Andy JohanesonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We used royal flamingo for an office catering delivery and were so impressed. The taco bar was delicious, everyone was asking what restaurant this was from, and had to tell them it was a new caterer in town. they should open one up! Everything came with signage and the delivery person took the time to tell me what everything was, and set it all up in order nicely. We will use them again soonPosted on Google Jennifer ArtigianiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I can’t say enough amazing things about this catering company! From start to finish, they absolutely exceeded every expectation. The food was not only beautifully presented but genuinely some of the best I’ve ever had—every dish was fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care and creativity. What really stood out, though, was their professionalism and attention to detail. They made the entire process effortless, handling everything seamlessly so we could actually relax and enjoy the event. The staff was warm, attentive, and went above and beyond to make sure every guest felt taken care of. If you’re looking for a catering company that delivers incredible food and an exceptional experience, this is the one. I would recommend them without hesitation to anyone planning an event—you won’t be disappointed!Posted on Google Renee HTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve used Royal flamingo twice now at our dealership for a luncheon and for our holiday party. Nothing but great things to say here. Excellent food, professional and friendly staff. Our employees were raving about the luncheon so much we chose them for our holiday party too, they provided rentals we needed and did custom drinks on the bar for our holiday theme I love their appetizers and our luncheon rosemary chicken and beef tenderloin were fantastic! This is our new go to caterer!Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
