Scrape the Plate Catering -- Catering As Unique As You

recommended STP to us because they were amazing! We loved that before our tasting they had us fill out a questionnaire to get to know what our favorite foods were, what foods we wanted to avoid, etc. Their menus are very customizable and we loved that they incorporated foods we love into the menu options vs just giving us a standard menu with a few different options to choose from like the other caterers we met with did. The pricing was another big thing that stuck out to us when weighing our options for caterers. The other caterers we met with were going to be double the price for food that was not nearly as good as what Scott and his team presented to us. The pricing is very reasonable especially for the quality of food they serve! The food at our wedding was absolutely delicious and we received a ton of compliments from our guests on how good everything was. I'm still thinking about it weeks later! Their event staff was great and very professional. If you are looking for a caterer that will not disappoint, I cannot recommend Scrape the Plate enough!

, we decided to not get quotes from anyone else. The food was amazing, and more affordable than we anticipated. Scott helped us customize our menu and came up with fun ideas to help the food represent us better. A few weeks after our tasting, he packed up a to go box for us to try more items. Diane was beyond kind and so easy to work with. All of our guests raved about the food. I cannot recommend Scrape the Plate enough!!

the quality of Scrape's food . It felt more like a made-from-scratch, home-cooked meal, compared to Brancato's which does so many events and offers more of a mass-produced flavor. Neither one charged for the tasting, which is nice. Scrape was easy to work with, leading up the wedding. We had a final meeting about a month before and turned in our guest count. Scape provided all our tableware, silverware and linens. They had a team of people come set up at our venue. The food, as we thought, got rave reviews. Our two entrees were the brisket and Lemoncello Chicken. We ran out of brisket entirely. It was some of the best I've ever had. The chicken is right up there with it. So flavorful! We added on the Gouda Mac and Cheese as a second starch. Great decision! There's nothing better than made-from-scratch mac and cheese. We got to take home a few pans of leftovers but wish there would've been more brisket! We felt really good about Scrape the entire time, and they did not let us down. We would recommend them to anyone in the KC area.

us to make sure we got something to eat during the hectic day and took care of all the small details. The food was amazing and we are still getting people telling us how they are dreaming about the salad and how they loved the food. Highly recommend!

o work with them! They always accommodated our wants and always so professional. But not only are they great to work with, the food is amazing too! We have had multiple people tell us how amazing the food was! One person said, “I’m still dreaming about that Mac and cheese and how I can get some more of it!!”

ide verity of foods and we chose go with BBQ. We did have a couple vegetarians//vegans and they were more than accommodating by either providing alternatives such of Jack Fruit BBQ or using diary alternatives. My husband and I couldn't have asked for better caterers and would use them again for any large event need we had.

t food - all for an affordable price point. The presentation, execution and customer service were all top notch. Everyone at our wedding raved about the food!

nd. Not only was the food amazing, the people we worked with were all phenomenal. We got so many compliments on the food and how it was so unique/tasty for a wedding.

ape the Plate did not disappoint. With the exception of the pork skewers (which came out a bit dry), everything we selected (Moroccan meatballs, cheese board and toast points, hummus and crudité, bruschetta, and quinoa salad) was amazing. Several of our guests told us afterward that they were especially impressed with the food. Scott really worked with us to come up with a variety of dishes that met all of our needs and dietary restrictions while still fitting with our Mediterranean theme. He also worked with us to adjust options in order to fit within our budget. We highly recommend working directly with Scrape the Plate, as we found it cumbersome and unnecessarily complicated communicating through our coordinator as we evaluated options and made decisions. We also found ourselves being asked to make some very quick decisions about dishes, silverware, cake stands, etc. just prior to the event. Such decisions might have been brought to our attention earlier (and given us more time) if we'd been directly in touch with the company ourselves in advance of the event. The staff who worked our reception were all excellent and the decision to add iced tea and water carafes was a good one, especially during a heat wave (though we recommend ensuring you have a plan for serving water after the catering team leaves, as they take all of their setup with them, including water carafes—this may also have been an oversight by our coordinator). Scrape the Plate allowed us to use a cake stand, serving utensils and additional beverage service even for items they weren’t providing, and satisfied with the packaging of leftover food, including our cake. We went through a more affordable provider (Bright Star Events) for linens, but imagine Scrape the Plate provides great service in this area as well.

gave us great menu ideas, and were accommodating when we needed to pick up linens ahead of originally planned. I would recommend Scrape the Plate to anyone.

ich I feel like is so rare for mass catering. They are a must!

ting with Scott where he walked us through several menu options. He asked a lot of questions to see what kind of food we liked and proposed a custom menu for us. Everything was delicious, and our guests raved about the food. I have heard horror stories of the bride and groom not being able to enjoy their meal, but Scrape the Plate pre-plated our food and had it ready for us as soon as we sat down so we didn’t have to go through the line. This was such a thoughtful touch that made a huge difference. They also pre-packaged to go boxes for us and donated any leftovers. Their staff was professional and prompt - they made sure we were doing alright multiple times throughout the night. I highly recommend Scrape the Plate for your wedding or event.

made sure we were taken care of and communicated with us. We loved that Scrape the Plate made sure they were very aware of guest dietary restrictions and food allergies and labeled everything on the buffet for our guests. We also had some picky eaters in our families and we were able to still create a really nice menu for all to enjoy. Everyone raved about the gouda mac n' cheese and Scott's talent with sauces for vegetables, chicken, beef and more were so delicious. The team was sweet and easy to work with and really took care of everything that night behind the scenes. Thank you!

about a thing. Scrape the Plate not only created delicious food for us, they made our guests comfortable and for that I’ll be forever grateful!

uests happen!

's food at 2 other friends' weddings and I knew right away when I got engaged, that I wanted Scrape the Plate to cater my wedding as well. I was SO RIGHT. NO ONE can stop talking about this food! Scott created a custom menu when I told him that I wanted a New Orleans theme - we had passed appetizers of cajun meatballs and shrimp and grits bruschetta, a jambalaya bar, macaroni and cheese, low country boil, coleslaw - it SCREAMED Louisiana! We added on king cakes, which they displayed BEAUTIFULLY, and Scott made shrimp and veggie Po' Boys for a late night snack. I'm STILL craving those Po' Boys and I'm not sure how I'll satisfy the craving now that we've eaten all of the leftovers without heading down to New Orleans! I've been told by SO MANY people that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. That is how I have ALWAYS felt after eating Scrape the Plate's food at all of the weddings I've been to that they catered. They are so good at what they do! Scott and the office & event manager, Diane, are so great to work with! They responded very quickly and offered amazing advice and support. The staff that came on the night of executed everything flawlessly and were SO SO NICE! They did water service the entire evening, followed my seating chart when setting everything up, and had everything looking, smelling, and tasting amazing! They even helped my mom find her keys! Everyone I spoke with or interacted with at Scrape the Plate was truly fantastic and so kind and helpful. I can't say enough good things about them. You will NOT be disappointed! Scott and Diane stuck to my budget, offered great ideas and suggestions, and thought of everything. From our tasting, which was delicious, to the night of, which surpassed our expectations and looked and tasted amazing, I always knew that everything would be PERFECT! You will NOT regret booking Scrape the Plate!

about that part of the evening and actually had a few minutes to sit and enjoy our dinner. Guests all loved the food as well!

professionalism. The food was delicious, hot, and beautifully presented. Your mind is at ease when you hire Scrape The Plate because they are experienced, dependable, and competent.

e VIPs, from our very first contact with them, to our initial tasting, to every contact with them as we worked through COVID-related rescheduling, to our final meeting. They said "yes" to all the random ideas we brought to them for our stations menu and they delivered on the quality. The food was absolutely delicious and we received so many compliments from our guests (do not miss their smoked gouda mac and cheese). The event staff was attentive, professional, and efficient. We could not have asked for a better experience.

begin to count the number of times people came up to comment on the amazing cheese board or how good the passed appetizers were but if I was to guess it was everyone at the wedding! The catering staff who was with us during the evening was attentive, kind, and would make a point to ask if my husband and I had a moment to eat. Thank you so much to the whole Scrape the Plate team! You all are truly wonderful!

we need more excuses for them to cater for us! In addition to our wedding day, we ended up using their Scrape@Home to pick up meals earlier in the week. This was a total blessing to not have to worry about restaurant reservations or cooking that entire week. I would definitely recommend them for any event you have upcoming and we look forward to using them again in the future!

k up to 50% capacity. My husband and I requested a street taco themed menu and were blown away with the food. Guests were talking about the food for weeks. Scott and Diane were so helpful and accommodating to adjust to COVID regulations. I cannot say enough wonderful things about this team!

board, but always excited and eager to help us in any way possible. I want to mention specifically that our guest count went from 250 to 60. Many catering companies have a clause in their contracts that protect them from large guest count changes. Usually it states that a change in greater than 20% of the original guest count to final guest count will result in the client covering the cost of the difference. Scrape the Plate did away with that and told us "do not worry, the world has changed now and so will we." This says so much about who they are. When we had to change LOADS of things, they looked out for us, and made sure contract language or other vendor issues didn't punish us due to a pandemic we couldn't control or predict. I haven't said anything about their food yet, which was delicious. Their staff is TOP-NOTCH and always took care of Henry and I, whatever we needed it showed up next to us in seconds. Our meals were pre-plated which is the only reason we got to eat as much as we did. They also box EVERYTHING up for you at the end of the night for you to take with you... you paid for it so you might as well get your money's worth. We loved eating leftovers for the couple weeks following wedding day. Also regarding food... it's not boring :) so many caterers offer the same stuff over and over and over... they were so creative and helped us have a beautiful summer wedding with slider stations, taco bar, fresh summer salads, etc. It was incredible. I want to lastly mention that the closer we got to wedding day, our chosen venue was not exactly the greatest toward Henry and I. Diane caught wind of the situation and swooped in to handle a few things to put some distance between us to help make our wedding planning experience a good one. She ended up offering to pick up some of our rental items for us to take this extra item of our task list... THAT is the type of person and business you want to hire for your wedding day. They are just awesome and you won't be disappointed food wise or service wise!

every part of the menu. They include everything: china, chargers, napkins, cake service, etc. so you don't have to worry about anything! The serving staff was professional and very conscious of sanitary service. The staff was really helpful during the planning process. Our original wedding date was 3/28/2020. Due to COVID, we had to reschedule and they were super accommodating. They definitely went above and beyond to make our day perfect!

e professionalism and flexibility of Scott and Diane. We had to make a few changes to our menu and logistics due to COVID-19, but they made the adjustments seamless and helped relieve so much of our stress. The catering staff executed our wedding beautifully and the staff members were hard working and friendly. Thank you so much Scrape the Plate!

in person once it was safer. I knew right off the bat that they would cater to our preferences and what was best. When we picked Scrape the Plate to be our caterer, we knew we wanted to provide our guests a meal but weren't sure about what other options we had. The team took the time to describe all the items we could choose from and we ended up doing some small bite desserts through them as well. Guests raved about the food and desserts. The best part about Scrape the Plate, and especially during this time, is how they have adapted their services to COVID-19 to make it safe not only for their employees, but for our guests. We were still able to do buffet style, but it was served by the STP staff with masks and food stayed covered. Scrape the Plate allowed us to do this at no extra cost because they truly wanted everyone to feel at ease. I thank Diane/Scott and team for being so accommodating and thinking through precautions to make it a safe and delicious event for all who were involved. If you're looking for great food at a great price with a fun team - Scrape the Plate is the way to go!

ularly grateful for the last minute contribution of the tasty gravy for our main course. They were able to work with another food vendor who provided our main course incredibly gracefully made the food such a smashing success. We’ve been to several events since our wedding, and we keep hearing about how amazing our food was! The staff was attentive and friendly, and we could not have asked for a better experience.

ding!!!!

E hit and SO beautiful), shrimp and grits, chicken, and desserts. It was all so pretty, the staff was awesome and the food was delicious. Diane is wonderful and works with you throughout your entire process to make sure you get everything you need. They are above and beyond and worth every penny for the best meal you could ask for!

ng to work with from start to finish. Scott was so accommodating about allowing us to taste all the items were interested in and gave great advice on selecting the final menu. Unbeknownst to us, we encountered some issues with our venue the day of the event which set Diane back. She took it upon herself to make sure everything was perfect by reception time, even though it meant a lot of extra work by her and her team to make it happen. We have had many guest since request the name of our caterer. Best food at a reception EVER! Was what was said by many.

nd was able to make some changes to his menu to help with some dietary preference. We then worked with Diane to help coordinate everything! She was incredibly flexible with our schedule and in the end we got everything figured out. During our wedding day they did so much! They helped with everything and more. Everyone was incredibly impressed with the service, quality of food, and attentativness. We literally had no leftovers and our late night snack had everyone raving! Scrape the Plate was amazing to work with and delicious!!

f staff.

sional!

nal. so happy we went with them and I wouldn't want to change a thing!

our wedding, and they just rolled with it. They ended up supplying our bartenders, signature cocktail ingredients, and all the glassware along with the amazing food. This took so much stress off me; having everything under one vendor was a great choice, plus they kept my budget in mind the entire time and helped me stay within it! Everyone loved the food. GET THE MAC N CHEESE!! Seriously, it is heavenly. Also, I had a minor freak out the day before the wedding because there was a speedbump at my venue and Diane had some really calming words to bring me back down and remind me that this day is not about the venue, it is about marrying the best man ever. Thank you Scrape the Plate!

wedding. I definitely recommend Scrape the Plate. They are a great value and delicious food!

, and talented. From the first tasting we knew we had to have Scrape The Plate. He put us together some to go boxes to try and narrow down our options. The hardest choice was choosing because everything Scott cooked was incredibly tasty. In addition, we had some extremely specific dietary restrictions for our guests. They absolutely accommodated for us and we are so thankful. Thank you so much to Scott and his team!

another caterer a little bit more. We asked him if he had the ability to put an STP twist on the menu we liked and he gladly obliged! We communicated with Diane throughout the rest of the process. Diane was always willing to help us with any questions we had. We met multiple times to discuss plates, linens, and other miscellaneous details. STP was very accommodating with various dietary restrictions and our fluctuating head count. Overall, the planning went very smoothly. The reason we took off one star is for the execution. After the reception, my father-in-law was supposed to receive leftovers along with to-go boxes and our leftover cake. Unfortunately, those never made it to us. We contacted Diane the next morning and the leftovers were at their office. A member of the staff came and dropped those off at our apartment, which I appreciated, but the chicken we received wasn’t what we had at our reception. We also didn’t get any of our leftover wedding cake. My husband and I only had one bite (during the cake cutting) of our wedding cake and were really looking forward to having the rest at home. The staff said they had left that at the venue, but when we returned to the venue on Monday it wasn’t there.

the food at our wedding. It took us a while to settle on a menu, but Diane was extremely helpful with helping us find the best option. I would highly recommend Scrape the Plate to anyone looking for a caterer in the Kansas City area. You will not be disappointed. Thank you, Diane and Scott!

always so professional and courteous. They really have everything covered. She even recommended a florist who turned out to be amazing! The set up was perfect and the food was delicious. Amazing!

ersonal touch to everything. After researching other caterers extensively, we felt Scrape the Plate had the best food and offerings for the price and we were really pleased with everything start to finish. The food at the reception was wonderful and the service was outstanding. We would definitely use them again at another event!

comparison. Being a picky eater like I am, we were worried about being able to have something that I would enjoy eating while still having food the guests would enjoy eating. We were able to slightly modify a chicken meal option and the salad option to fit my needs and still have a chicken option our guests would enjoy. They also were very accommodating for guests with specific dietary restrictions, preferences, or allergies. We had multiple people at our wedding who had severe nut allergies, if they were to eat anything that had nuts or were contaminated by nut dust, and Scrape the Plate employees were made aware of that and made sure to label any items that would have even the slightest chance of containing nuts. With Scrape the Plate, planning is really easy because they provide the catering service, bartenders, and will also do a dessert bar or have some larger cake options. We went with a buffet with two main entrees, two sides, a salad, and assorted breads, a dessert bar with 4 mini desserts, and we also had a six-inch cutting cake so we could still do our cake cutting. They were even able to offer us different signature drink options because my husband and I do not drink and were having trouble finding a mix drink we could tolerate. The catering staff was very attentive to us during our reception and asked us multiple times if there was anything they could do for us. We also saw them walking around to different tables throughout dinner and dessert ensuring all of our guests had what they needed. One complaint we had was that the bartenders opened multiple cases of beer that were not actually used that night (we bought alcohol from a place that had a buy back policy but they would not buy back opened cases even if they were full). The bartenders were made aware of this and they also work with this particular alcohol establishment often so they should have known not to open the containers. However, when we called and expressed our concern about not being able to return multiple cases of beer that were full and had been opened for no reason, the owner offered to buy the cases back from us personally and told us that it was not our fault his employees made the mistake of opening the cases. The only other complaint we had was that communication with Scott and Diane was great up until about a month before the wedding. After we gave them our final count, it took them almost two weeks to finally send us our banquet event order (BEO) and final invoice. They then had that our payment was due that same day and it was sent to us around 6PM. We also looked over the BEO and it was not correct. We then had to get it changed, which took more time and when everything was finally updated and we were able to pay the correct amount (which happened to be sent to us on Easter) we also got an e-mail later in the day (again, on Easter which was the Sunday before our Saturday wedding) from the owner asking if we had received the invoice so we could make our payment. We felt it was slightly rude to always expect us to pay the day we received the invoice, especially on a holiday and when it wasn’t our fault they had not sent it to us originally sooner. Other than the communication at the end with the BEO and invoice, we were very happy with Scrape the Plate.
