I need ideas for catering a party in NW OKC. Nothing fancy. Can anyone share your experiences with restaurants and pricing? Thanks!!

Any paticular food type your interested in?

Nope. We're open to anything. Just nothing fancy, lots of kids involved.

If the group is mainly kids take the easy way out. I would not spend ton of money catering for a group of kids.

Incredible Pizza is the perfect option for a kids group. They offer party rooms by the hour, video games, bowling, go carts, pizza, pasta, salad and dessert buffet with tokens for each guest.

You could also call a pizza place or your favorite dine in restaurant. Almost every restaurant(including fast food) offers some form of catering. You can go to Sam's or Crest and get a great deal on soda, ice, desserts, cups, plates, napkins and trash bags.

Then all you have to do is pick a place and round up enough adults to help supervise.

First off congratulations to you and your husband on finally getting all of the red tape taken care of and getting through the difficult process. I have only heard a small inkling from Kim what all you had to endure to get this done and I admire you both for stepping up a providing a better live for that gorgeous little girl. Now as far as catering no we have not used anyone here but with the group of people that will be there and the mix of kids that will be there why not a giant sub from Subway?

Thanks Dale!!

Yes, I've thought of Subway. That's a good idea I'm trying to steer away from pizza, and so perhaps that's the answer?

Oneforone, we already have a place that the party is going to be at, so Incredible pizza is out.

This isn't just a kids party. There will be more Adults than kids so we want some good food to serve. Not the typical hot dog and pizza fare.

We're Celebrating the Adoption of our foster daughter. Something we've been waiting to do for 2 years now. We are going all out because after all that we've been through, it was all worth it!!!!!

Congratulations... that is something to be proud of and worth celebrating.

Does she or your family have favorite restaurant. Like Outback, Texas Roadhouse, Macroni Grill, On the Border, Primo's, Carino's Chili's, Johnnies or whatever you want. Google your favorite restaurant and I think you will find a extensive catering menu. Some of them include everything you need for a gathering (drinks, plates, utensils).

Jason's Deli or City Bite's has large variety of trays of sandwhiches and snacks that they make in an hour. City Bites has some killer cookie trays.

Two Olives (http://www.twoolivescafe.com/) in Moore has done a very good job for us on several occasions and we believe they are reasonably priced. And really nice people, too.

Another place I have heard good things about is What's Cooking on West Wilshire. Not sure if they have a web site.

I have used What's Cooking for luncheons I have done and have been very pleased with their food and service.

Wow, congratulations on your daughter! Your story brought tears to my eyes..

We have used Ted's Catering in the past and it has always been fabulous.

They bring everything in big Warmer pans and all the 'fixings' such as chips, salsa, tortillas and everything imaginable for perfect fajitas.

It is always very good and pretty reasonable.

Spencer's BBQ!

And congrats!

The word of the day is....WOOOOOOOOOO!

We have used deep fork catering a lot and they always out do themselves

Eli's Custom Catering is wonderful. I often use them for work meetings and they catered my wedding. The food is delicious and very reasonably priced. I would recommend them to anyone. They are very nice, flexible and so easy to work with.

Three places come to mind. Panera, Panda Express and Qudoba. All three have brochures available in their restaurant that explains their various catering plans (trays). If you live in, or near Edmond, you could check out Chipotle on Broadway.

Congratulations on the adoption of your foster daughter!

Fazoli's always did a good job, as well as panera
