The cheapest way to feed a mixed room well.
A loaded potato bar is the quiet workhorse of office catering. Baked potatoes held hot, a line of toppings from cheese and bacon to chili and broccoli, and every person in the room builds exactly the plate they want. It covers vegetarians, big eaters and the person who only wants butter without a special order.
One of our reviews pairs it with the taco bar for staff meetings, and that is how it often goes out: two stations, one delivery. On its own it carries a casual lunch, a graduation open house or a youth group night at a fraction of the fuss of a full buffet.
A potato bar prices as a lunch buffet, from $13 per person. Give us the headcount and the break room and we bring the right number of pans.
Break rooms, church basements and the back of a classroom.
The potato bar goes where the budget is tight and the crowd is varied. Staff meetings on the clinic floors along East Market and in the offices on South Main. Teacher appreciation lunches at Akron Public Schools buildings from Ellet to Kenmore. Youth nights and fellowship dinners in church basements in Firestone Park, North Hill and Goodyear Heights. Volunteer lunches for the nonprofits downtown.
It travels well, which matters from 647 E Market Street out to Barberton, Tallmadge, Stow and Green. The potatoes hold hot in chafing service, the toppings stay cold, and the whole line sets up on a single six foot table in a break room.
For an open house in May or June it runs beside a taco bar and a grazing table so every age group finds something. For a company all hands it is the lunch nobody skips.
What comes with it.
The potatoes
Baked and held hot in chafing service so the last one out is as good as the first.
The toppings line
Cheese, bacon, sour cream, chives, broccoli, chili and more, staged cold and restocked.
Pairs with a taco bar
The two stations run side by side for a staff meeting or a graduation party, one delivery.
Salad and dessert
A green salad on the line and dessert cups or bars to finish, from the same kitchen.
This place offers ALL of your catering needs. I don't believe there is anything she can't provide for you. I have had SO many meals and attended SO many events. The Taste of the City (Akron) she provided so many great "samples". An outdoor hibachi grill party with all the trimmings, steak, shrimp, chicken, rice, fresh vegetables also one of my favorites. The taco bar and loaded potatoes are great for staff meetings. The seafood is always top quality, the largest shrimp! The desserts made from scratch are amazing. Cakes, cheesecakes, individual desserts, it doesn't end. Give them a try! Best prices around with professional service.
