VENDOR RANT: Fireside Caterers in Levittown, NY

So to sum it up quickly...

I had my e-party on August 23, 2008. It was very nice and everything came together in the end.

I booked Fireside Caterers in LEVITTOWN back in May. My parents got a package menu and then had added the hamburgers and hotdogs barbeque service. For the hamburgers and hotdogs to be cooked for 4 hours we were paying an extra 600.

However, 3 days before (August 20, 2008) to be exact, the guy from levittown calls me and lets me know that the hamburgers and hotdogs will be PRECOOKED. Obviously, I was not happy and that was not what was discussed or in our contract. So needless to say, I was so upset, because I had 120 people coming to the party and this was a problem. I also want to note that there was a big communication problem from the start, their English is not that great. He basically procedes to tell me that I made the contract under his old boss and that now he has a new boss.

So I canceled them and in the end, 3 days before my party, the Fireside Caterers in NORTHPORT came through and did a phenomenal job. People are still raving about the food including my FH.

**Just so everyone knows, Firesides are all independently owned. And I highly, highly recommend Fireside Caterers in Northport for their excellent service and excellent food.

We get Fireside takeout at least once a week (their BBQ chicken is DELICIOUS!!) and we love it!!!

I know what you mean they completely renovated a few years ago and changed hands quite a few times according to my mom. She stopped going there last year and goes to LaRosa's on Wolcott Rd for everything but I don't know if they do BBQ (hamburger and hot dogs). They make good 6 foot subs and salads though. I am glad the one in Suffolk came through for you.
