Hello Low, many thanks for your honest 3-star rating. We would love to hear more about your experience so we can improve in the future.

I have ordered Golden Crust cocktail patties before, and my guest and I enjoyed them. The crust had the right amount of dough and was flaky, with an adequate amount of meat. Recently, I ordered four dozen cocktail patties (two dozen spinach and two dozen chicken) for an event, and because of the quality, I was unable to serve the chicken patties and had to discard them. The dough was extremely thick and plasticky, as if a child was practising making dough and made it wrong. The amount of chicken placed in these thick doughs (it seemed like 8 layers of stiff dough) was no more than a teaspoon (and I am not exaggerating); it was basically eating only a thick blob of dough with flakes of the outer layer. They were not even the usual half-circle shape; they were more squarish with a little peak on one side. However, my main concern was the quality and taste. A waste of my time and money. Grossly disappointed.

Jennifer, we're truly sorry that the chicken cocktail patties you ordered for your event fell so far below the quality you'd enjoyed previously. The excessively thick dough, minimal filling, and unusual shape you described are concerning, especially when you ordered four dozen patties for guests. We understand how frustrating it was to discard part of your order, and we appreciate you explaining these quality issues in such detail.
