My company is considering having our annual picnic at Knoebels this summer. They offer a catering service-typical family BBQ stuff like burgers, dogs, mac and cheese, pulled pork. Has anyone eaten their catered food? I want to make sure everyone leaves with a happy belly.

I know the Hershey park catering service put out food about the same quality as school cafeterias for the company picnics we went to, so I'd expect about the same

I went to a catered event there once and I was pretty disappointed. The quantity of food is pretty limited so each person only gets one plate. They also didn’t have a lot of drinks and by the time I went to get one all they had was unsweetened tea which I’m not a fan of. They also ran out of ice cream before I could get any. Not a great experience. However, I’m biased since I’m very familiar with Hersheypark’s catering and they have a significantly larger menu, and their buffets, drinks and ice cream are all you can eat

It's not terrible but definitely not as good as the food found in the park. I grew up with my dad's work picnic there and we ate it most years. Even if it wasn't enough food, the park has plenty of goodies to supplement it with. I'm looking at you pierogies

I wonder if your event organizer just didn't order enough for everyone, though. Knoebels' site lets you order a specific number of burgers and dogs, so I'm not too worried about having enough for everyone. I'm mostly concerned about the quality of the food- like is their mac and cheese worth it, or is it just from a box?

They have a catering service, too? Starting to think that if Knoebel's ever shut down the economies of Northumberland and Columbia counties would collapse.

It was ok. It reminded me of cafeteria food. Basic burger, vanilla ice cream cup, vegetable, etc. It wasn’t bad, but no one would rave about it.
