Food was very good and our guests enjoyed it. However, the wait for food orders was 35 to 45 minutes. Thankfully we also had an ice cream truck that guests could visit and have their ice cream while they waited for their lunch order.

the lamb meat was excellent. I would have liked a little more vegetables, but overall it was excellent. I would eat there again and would try other options.

We hired Dave's S&T for a corporate employee appreciation event, and it was a smashing success from start to finish. Great communication in advance, very reasonable fixed price menu, impressive streamlined efficiency that prevented a line/wait for food, great customer service with our employees, tons of options on the menu, and fresh, flavorful food that *almost* everyone went absolutely crazy about (I mean, you can't please everyone. But it was as close to a resounding consensus as we've ever had). We'll book them again!

- You choose the budget (within our parameters) and we'll find proposals that match that budget. Every proposal we send you will be for your submitted budget.
