A note to say thank you for the wonderful sandwiches and salads. Everything was delicious.

One volunteer told me the only reason she came to the luncheon was to have the spicy cucumber salad!

Just wanted to tell you that as usual, Inside the Box Catering was amazing.

As always, much appreciated. Thank you.

I wanted to give a shoutout to the ITB team for their unparalleled service.

I just had a phone call with the CEO of the Upper Tampa Chamber of Commerce, Debbie Prescott, who remarked on how amazing Inside the Box has been as a catering partner!

I just wanted to follow up on our lunch order today and say THANK YOU!! Everyone was well pleased with their lunches and the names on the labels made it SOOO easy to hand them out.  I will certainly be recommending you and keeping you in mind for future events.

Angela Aborizk - FDOT

Excellent customer service, delicious food, and all for a great cause! We ordered over 80 boxed lunches for staff at an elementary school. I emailed a spreadsheet of everyone's order and they took it from there! All the lunches were delivered with labels of what was inside AND they also labeled each person's name-made it easy for me! The portion sizes were large and the food quality was excellent. I heard a lot of remarks about how delicious everything tasted. I'd highly recommend them for staff lunches or your next event.

What an amazing company that offers items at the highest level of service and quality. I was able to enjoy first-hand the amazing catering experience.

This company sets the standard for how to do things right, and they are very supportive of the local community!

 

The Tampa Bay Post Review

Saw their Thursday Supper take home family meals mentioned on IG. What a deal! Complete meal for a family only $55, even dessert for an extra charge. This week they had mojo pork, black beans & rice, and plantains. Everything was well seasoned and the meat moist and tender. Looking forward to trying another one.

Good food doing good" says it all. We catered our company event and the food was fresh and delicious and the gentleman who delivered it was professional and extremely helpful. We will absolutely be ordering from ITB again.

Kayla Kopeck

Thank you for another delicious lunch. We heard rave reviews on how delicious the sandwiches were, and Mayor Castor and our Senior Leadership Team loved that we supported our friends at Metropolitan Ministries.

Jordan - New York Life

I had the turkey club with the potato chips, and I have to say it was the best meal I have had in a very long time. Those chips were fabulous! The seasoning (whatever you put on them) was a perfect balance! Thank you so much for the wonderful meal!

Leslie - Hillsborough County Property Appraiser

Lunch was a success!! Folks enjoyed the variety of choices, and everyone I spoke with enjoyed their food. I especially got positive comments on the salads. I know your business thrives on word-of-mouth recommendations and you will have many from our staff and guests.
