They are good, but expensive. If you have a Costco membership, they have good fruit salads for much, much less. They also have vegetable trays with dip.

I got several trays from Wegman's for my baby shower and they did a really nice job. (I got sandwiches, fruit, veggies and cheese.) The fruit platter was not too expensive and it was good quality. If you have a Wegman's reasonably nearby, you can look online, call to order and pick it up easily the morning of your brunch.

The Magruders on Connecticut Ave in Chevy Chase DC has fruit platters pre-made for about 1/2 the price of whole foods, and no need to queue at Costco. Just call ahead and see if they can make one for you. I have purchased very large fruit platters feeding 15+ people for under $30.

True, but expensive and if you prefer a delivery option you'll have to tack on an additional $12.99 charge.

as long as it's not on a sunday....

i had many compliments on the fruit salad i got from Chick fil a. colors were beautiful combo - everything crip and fresh.

i had a catered party last fall - but had a "kids' table with their nuggets and stouffers mac and cheese.... i put them in different serviving dishes to dress it up and the fruit salad i put on the adults table in a glass bowl. i can't tell you how many adults went for the nuggets and mac and cheese too!

Not sure where you live but we've hosted several brunches for family/friends and have always gotten trays from Bagel City in Rockville. We've always been happy. The fruit trays were extremely fresh!!
