Penguin's
Located in Auburn, California, Penguin's opened in July of 2000 with just one employee, and now Chef Adam commands over 20 employees with the capacity to support a 1,000 person event. The expansion was needed to support the 60% growth that Penguin's has been experiencing year after year, which is credited to our ability to consistently produce homemade-quality food accompanied with excellent service.

Penguin's Catering is AWESOME! They didn't just meet my expectations - they exceeded them. The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful and the service was excellent. Penguin's is reliable, professional and reasonably priced. I would refer them to anyone needing their event catered.

The owner Mary was most gracious in helping us pick out a luncheon menu for a celebration of life for after my friend's husbands funeral. She brought out some samples for us to try and they were delicious! Highly recommend Penguin's Catering!

All I can say is "yum"! Well that's not all. Had them cater an open house at my home today. 50+ people. I had 7 different appetizers so it wasn't cheap. But! It was soooo worth it. Everyone remarked at how delicious the food was and it was very well displayed with beautiful flowers. They brought ice and tubs for drinks too. It was a great experience and I would hire them again in a second.

My business has had several lunches provided by Penguins. Lots of variety, yummy and great customer service. Can't wait for our next event. No wonder they've earned Best of the Best so many years in a row. I love their uniforms too!

I LOVE Penguins catering!!!!! I host many events and Mary does anything and everything she can to help me make them special. Her food is to DIE for!!!! Seriously I'm such a foody and I can't get enough. Her staff come dressed in very professional tuxedo type outfits which is a nice look to any event. If you have an upcoming party or event Penguins is the only place to go!

Flower center pieces and food were good, but service was a train wreck. The food was over an hour late. Coffee was ready on time, but no cups. Took almost an hour to get them. Ran out of water and iced tea.
Our guests came from all over the US. I hired Penguins so I could relax and let the professionals take care of my treasured guests. Sadly this was not the case. I was extremely let down by Penguins catering.
If having food and beverages ready when you want or need, I highly recommend you look elsewhere.

Ruined our wedding reception. We had family and friends travel from FAR to attend our special day. Mary, the owner, showed up an hour late for set up, and did not apologize but instead made excuses and gave attitude to my mother in law. The food was not great. Not to mention, she ate candy from our candy buffet! What professional does that :( the catering experience was terrible, and I felt so bad for my mother in law for having to spend her money and time dealing with an unprofessional, sub-par catering company. I'm not sorry to give this review.

Penguin's is amazing! Mary made the entire experience a pleasant one from the moment I walked into her "kitchen." She worked with me and helped me put together just the right menu for my wedding - both budget-friendly and tasty! My guests were raving about the food. Thank you so much, Mary, for doing such an amazing job!

OMG! Talk about falling into a pot of jam! I'm so glad I found Mary and Adam! All I can say is "Wow wow wow!" You made me look SO SMART AND CLASSY for hiring you to do the hors d'oeuvres :-D haha! The bacon wrapped date stuffed apricots were the headliner, I'm telling you. Everyone was loving everything you made. Thank you SO MUCH!

Penguin's catered my son's outdoor wedding on a record hot day in June - 108! Their food and service was amazing, despite the heat. They even helped set out the final table decor when we were running out of time. We could not be more pleased.

Good catering outfit, very organized and friendly. They have a nice Hors D' Ouvres menu, for those couples on a budget.
