We hired Hostess with the Mostess for my friend’s daughter’s 1st birthday party. We were initially very excited and optimistic, but that unfortunately did not last long. The woman that came to grille was clearly not experienced at all. She did not know how to properly set up the grille and required assistance from our guests multiple times to readjust the grille while it was hot. She was visibly high and drinking our beers throughout the night and took over 3 hours to grille the food. At one point, she poured lighter fluid on the grille while the food was on it…. my friend’s husband had to assist her with the grilling because she was so distracted and took so long. All of our food was overcooked, some inedible because of the fluid. Overall, out experience with this company was incredibly disappointing and unprofessional. We reached out the the owners multiple times and have been ignored. We will not be using them in the future.

We had a lovely experience with Hostess with the Mostess. They made it super easy to plan a back yard bbq for our family. We did not have to worry about a single detail. They were very accomodating and willing to work with our needs! The food was deliscious, staff was super attentive, and everyone had a great experience!

Recently experienced unbelievably unprofessional service with this company. A grill cook presented late to my nieces party and started even later grilling the food. Once the meat was finally done it was burnt, dry and tasted like lighter fluid. Extremely wasteful. I will never use this company or recommend them as they refused to provide a refund or acknowledge my family’s video evidence of the horrible service. Save yourself the headache and food waste and find another company that has integrity.

I have used a griller from hostess with the mostess for a couple years now. I have never had a problem until this year. The griller shows up late, forgets the lighter fluid and leaves to go retrieve it. She comes back and the grill isn’t fired up until an hour and a half after she was suppose to be cooking. She couldn’t keep the fire going so she thought it was a great idea to spray lighter fluid on the grill that our food is sitting on. Yes I have multiple videos that I have sent the company. In a matter of two hours cooking, all we have is maybe 30 hamburgers for 70 people. My husband had to step in and help at some point. She then puts on corn and hotdogs and burns all the food. It wasn’t even edible and we had to throw all of it away. She then packs it up and leaves. Doesn’t cook the remaining food because apparently it was too much work for her. It was such an embarrassment having this lady grill for my daughter’s first birthday. I will not be having them back because I expressed the issue with the OWNER who sent me a long email of excuses as to why she couldn’t complete a job AND excuses as to why she was smoking on the job. I sent a bunch of footage to back my claims and they don’t care as long as they were paid. Thank you Stephanie for running such a disgraceful business and ruining peoples parties.

While I did not get to use this company due to the services being gifted to me by a family member for my event. I wanted to comment and say how nice and communicative they were. If I ever am in need of these services, I will be sure to call and recommend Hostess With the Mostess.
