Ball’N Biscuit Catering

We could not possibly have been happier with Maria. Nearly 6 months after our wedding and people are STILL raving about how good the food was. More than that– we came to Maria with a rough idea about wanting a culinary trip around the world. She delivered on our concept with empanadas, Thai salad, and so much more. She was wonderful to work with. I’ve recommended her to everyone I know!!!

I had Ball ‘N Biscuit cater my wedding on May 24, 2015, and IT WAS AWESOME! The whole experience of working with Maria was fantastic. For our tasting at her house, (which by the way I loved because it felt so warm and inviting) she had asked us what we were looking for and what we were into, and then when we arrived, she made EXACTLY what we said. The food was delicious and I could tell was made with love! We also asked her to make a Filipino dish for us (chicken adobo) which she had never made before, but having tasted her food, I had no doubt Maria would deliver. She allowed us a second tasting for that, and just as I had suspected, it was delicious and just like my mama made it (but don’t tell her that!). On the day of our wedding, her head chef Martha and head server Jeannie were fantastic as well as all of the servers who helped us that night. Everyone gave the food rave reviews. The only thing I’m really bummed about is that my nerves that night made it difficult for me to stuff my face the way I really wanted to!
All in all, Maria and everyone at Ball ‘N Biscuit are the best, and if you’re looking for amazing food to make your event special, look no further! :)

I can’t say enough amazing things about This company. We had a large wedding at Turner hall and Maria was able to provide me with amazing food, displayed beautifully, and all within my budget without compromising the quality and freshness of the food. Her staff was very friendly and professional. Maria had great suggestions and her catering experience allowed everything on my wedding day to go smoothly without any issues at all. They were also very accommodating to special requests or needs as well. If you are doing any event or wedding– you are going to want to go with ball n biscuit!

I had a four month engagement and needed to find a caterer in Milwaukee that could accommadate my requests for decent food and my husband’s requests for Russian food. There is no russian catering in Milwaukee minus one place on 76^th and silverspring that basically requires a package w the hall which several Russians had commented the food wasn’t that great anyways. Maria and Daniel were the only caterer in Milwaukee that would take our requests and in our tasting attempted to make some home made Russian food for my future mother in laws approval. We also had requests for multiple food courses family style spread out through hours of our wedding which is a rather unique wedding request. We ended up combining Maria’s veggie empanadas with Daniel’s guinness braised short ribs which were a total hit with our crowd. Also had charcuterie and pickled veggies for initial courses to strike a chord with the vodka bottle service. Sad to hear of Daniel’s passing and I’m not sure where ball and biscuit is headed next but I would recommend them for wedding catering.

They made the worst food for our wedding!!! Roasted vegetables– no seasoning and soggy mess. They were steamed and horrendously prepaid.
Risotto– taste like play doh super over cooked
Beef braise– again NO SEASONING!!!
The chicken was so over cooked it was dry as chalk!
It was absolutely embarrassing to serve that food to my friends and family.
The sent me a small check after I wrote them a complaint letter. But they should have given me a full refund for ruining my wedding day with there terrible food. The tasting at there house was awesome and when it came time for our wedding they failed in the worst way. This was over a year ago and I’m still furious! Please don’t use this catering company because it’s almost impossible to sue a catering company and win.
It’s some of the worst food I ever ate in my life! They have no business being in the food industry… I wouldn’t serve there food to prisoners!

The food is AMAZING and the price is unbeatable. Maria & Daniel basically operate out of their own kitchen/​a co-​op in Riverwest, so they have no overhead and are able to provide great service at a great price.
They excel not only in vegan/​vegetarian and gluten-​free menu options, but Daniel is a master of meat. The pork tenderloin we had at our tasting and again at our wedding was the best I’ve had in my life, and many of our guests said the same. You have to pay for your tasting, but the money you put down is considered paid toward your overall cost should you choose to go with them. If you try them, you will understand that this is a worthy investment as the food is too good to say no to.
I was a little concerned leading up to the wedding because I was afraid they seemed a little disorganized or out of sorts (hence the 4 stars for responsiveness), but I could tell that once «wedding season» begins, they are completely in their element. Everything went off without a hitch, and they are so committed to providing excellent service.
Literally about a week before the wedding I told Maria «I want a late-​night taco bar.» She says «We can make that happen,» and it did, and it was amazing. We were able to feed close to 150 people for about $ 6,000 — that included passed appetizers, family-​style service, cake-​cutting, a «coffee bar» with dessert and a late-​night taco bar.
The team of servers is hand-​picked from local service staff throughout Milwaukee since they don’t actually employ all of them year-​round, so you’re getting the best of the best in the local service industry.
Ball ‘n Biscuit is a great local company, and I can’t wait to recommend them to anyone I can and hopefully to book them for any other smaller events I may need catering service for in the future.

Ball ‘n Biscuit catered a recent wedding, and it was great! It was nice that the couple was able to support such a wonderful local business, and that we the guests were treated to such a nice meal.
We had a vegetarian Mexican buffet, which was a very nice change from standard wedding food. My only complaint was the rice was way too hot. I’m kind of a wuss when it comes to spicy food, but everyone at my table commented how uncomfortably hot it was, so it definitely wasn’t just me. But other than that, we had soy chorizo with grilled veggies tacos and potato & black bean empanadas, along with some great sides.

I can’t say enough wonderful things about Ball & Biscuit! We first met with Dan and Maria last year about catering our wedding — we love Mexican food and were having a difficult time finding someone who wasn’t the cookie-​cutter caterer and was into Mexican. The bottom line:
–the food was incredible. Seriously on par with the best Mexican restaurants I’ve been to (um, a ton). Not only did we get a great selection of fresh veggies, tortillas, two salsas, guacamole, etc., but the meat was top-​notch. Tender, juicy steak. Yum, drool, etc. And oh yes, a very vegan-​friendly meal! (Though as you could probably tell, I am not a vegan myself)
–Dan and Maria are truly great vendors. We were in touch for well over a year and they were always responsive and considerate of our budget. We found the cost to be very reasonable — especially given the quality of the food and service! — and their recommendations also reasonable and worth taking. And when we had to fit in a last-​minute pie pick up, they picked up the errand without issue.
Awesome food and professional etiquette. We’ve already had requests from some of our guests to inquire about the catering since it was so above and beyond. You won’t regret hiring Ball & Biscuit!

Dear Ball’N Bisquit Catering,
I met you at the WMSE Chili Cook-​off today. Both folks at your booth were very nice. You introduced me to your friend «The Devil’s Taint». My eyes watered, my rosacea flared up and my roommates brow sweated profusely. Hours later, it provided great discomfort to both of our asses.
I like your sense of humor almost as much as I liked your chili. Well done!
Your new friend,
Kip

Maria and Daniel did such an excellent job catering my wedding a couple of weeks ago that I felt obligated to spread the word about their fantastic business. Ball’N Biscuit Catering is wonderful, well priced, and professional. They will work with you to create whatever kind of menu you can dream of and will present it in a well thought out way. Everything was done beautifully and I am still receiving compliments from my guests about how good the food was. They worked within my tight budget and gave us everything we could have hoped for. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a well priced and creative catering option for any type of special function. I would use them again in a second!
