Kevin was an amazing Caterer for our wedding! He was such a joy to work with and we appreciated how open the lines of communication were. Even with set menus, he offered flexibility and input. We loved working with and getting to know Kevin. We also appreciated the tasting so that we could try the food, especially considering that we anticipated that we might not get to try everything the day of the wedding. After that Tasting, we knew anything that Kevin provided was going to be delicious! Our guests were raving about the food. It could not have been more perfect. Thank you so much, Kevin! And thank you to your team!
I had a hard time deciding how many stars to give Moore's. Most of their food is excellent, but the one issue I'm addressing here is a substantial negative.
I cooked for Moore's and their method for grilling steak is a health risk. The meat is good quality but they use cheap portable residential grade grills, and to get a good sear on the meat they spray large amounts of vegetable oil directly onto the burners, causing flames and black soot to engulf the steaks. Not only does this give the meat a diesel-like flavor, it also coats it with carcinogenic chemicals.
When vegetable oils are burned, they can produce a variety of harmful compounds, including carbon-based particles (soot), polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), and other toxic substances. Soot itself is a mixture of fine particulate matter, primarily composed of carbon, and can contain traces of heavy metals and organic compounds depending on the burning conditions.
Inhaling or ingesting soot can pose serious health risks. If consumed, it could irritate or damage the digestive tract, and the associated chemicals (like PAHs) are known to be carcinogenic and toxic in high enough doses. Additionally, soot particles are not meant for human consumption and could lead to inflammation or other adverse reactions in the body.
Grilled tenderloin steaks are served at almost every event Moore's caters. I'm posting this in the hope that Kevin will have to stop using this technique. Most of his food is very good, and I enjoyed working with his crew.
If they cooked steak properly I would give Moore's 5 stars. On one hand, I don't want to hurt their business, but I felt the need to warn people about eating meat coated in toxic soot.
Kevin saved our wedding!!! I was frantically searching for a last minute caterer less than 20 days before the wedding day, while living 3 hours away and dealing with serious family emergencies. I was sending emails out to different caterers hoping someone would get back to me and be available. Moore Fine Foods was in my top three but honestly wasn’t going to be our first choice in the beginning. I ended up emailing the wrong caterer's menu to Kevin and he called me saying he doesn’t know what these specific packages and food choices were but he’d send me his menus or he could try to work with those food choices. I was immediately embarrassed but we eventually got it worked out with one of his menus. We eventually became phone buds with all the last minute details people usually would work out at tastings, in person meetings, over months of planning but we had less than 3 weeks so there was a lot to happen in that short time. Kevin is such a cool guy, he made us feel extremely comfortable and had no worries about food after booking with him. On top of the booking experience and Kevin being great, everyone was RAVING about the food. We are a family full of foodies and restaurant owners so for everyone to actually be enjoying the food was such a testament to how good it really is. We got our own take out boxes to bring home with us and it was hilarious to see my new husband standing in the fridge eating cold steak and potatoes talking about how delicious it still is the next day out of the fridge. They supplied everything we needed (even though I already had everything purchased for our previous dinner option), I’m not sure if we used all the plates, utensils and such that they brought but I do appreciate it coming with the package and I know we definitely used the water glasses and not our water bottles thankfully for mother earth haha. The price was extraordinary for what we got, plenty of delicious food for everyone!! If you were thinking about using Moore Fine Foods at your next event, do it!! I am so happy Kevin saved the day and forever thankful!!!
Kevin and the staff at Moore Fine Food are wonderful. I could not be more thrilled with our experience for our wedding day.
From my first conversation with Kevin Moore I knew he was the one I wanted to caterer our wedding. He showed such care and passion for what he does. To top it off the food was nothing short of AMAZING!
He worked with us on our likes and dislikes making the menu ours. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious spread. 10/10 would recommend.
Thank you Kevin & Staff
I recently had the pleasure of working with Moore Fine Foods for an event with approximately 150 guests, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. From start to finish, Kevin Moore demonstrated an exceptional level of care, professionalism, and passion for what he does.
The food was nothing short of amazing! Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious spread, especially the shrimp and grits, which were an absolute hit. It was clear that every dish was prepared with the utmost attention to detail and a commitment to excellence.
What also set Kevin apart was his consideration for our younger(under age 10 ) and vegan guests. He ensured that they were well taken care of with special options that were just as delightful as the rest of the menu. He even reached out after the event to ensure everything was to our satisfaction.
Kevin's sense of humor and warm personality added a wonderful touch to the experience.
I highly recommend Moore Fine Foods for any event.
Thank you, Kevin!

Venue: LightnerGuest count: 172Hands down, the BEST caterer in the area.Kevin is truly in a league of his own.First, the entire food planning process was seamless. My husband and I both work in a very bust industry and Kevin worked with us to schedule calls at times that were convenient. He even allowed me to call him during lunch, weekends, and evenings.From the first phone call with Kevin I knew we had made a fantastic choice. He spoke to me for around 30 minutes asking my fiance and I’s likes and dislikes in food, and then proposed a menu.The fact that we had made the best choice was further solidified during our tasting. Kevin graciously allowed us both to bring our parents and then proceeded to wow us with a 8 course meal. We got to try every appetizer, all our meat options, all our sides, and our desserts. He was warm, and kind and you can tell he really cares about good food.The night of the wedding went off without a hitch. My guests raved that this was not typical wedding/banquet food but rather food that was clearly made by someone(and their team) who was passionate about providing excellent, delicious food.10/10
MFF provided the catering and bar service at our daughter’s wedding for 100+ people. The food and service were outstanding. In fact, we had many attendees come up to us and rave about the food. We would strongly recommend for any event where the quality of food is important to you!
Kevin & his staff go over and beyond for their clients & guests! From their service to their cuisine, I highly recommend them to cater your next event! They are a wonderful group to work with!
Moore Fine Foods team did such an amazing job on my daughter’s wedding. The food was raved about, selection, and best staff attending to every detail. Top notch quality and presentation delivered with excellence!

First of all, Kevin was very attentive and knowledgeable when my husband and I met with him re the menu and and ambiance we were going for my 70th birthday party. The ahi tuna filets, sushi & camerones were amazingly fresh and the Beef Filet-wiches were delicious; but our surprisingly favorite was the Banh Mi Burritos --n they were spinach (green) wraps with an amazing filling of Hanoi slaw, pickled ginger, & mango chunks -- sooo delicious! All the guests (70+) enjoyed everything and kept asking who did the catering! The linen, china, service -- everything was excellent. I would definitely use them again! Thank you, Chef Kevin!
They catered our wedding on 11/10/23 and they were amazing! Everyone told us that it was the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. Kevin was awesome to work with and such a fun guy! Thank you so much!!!!
Kevin at Moore Fine Foods was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I would work with him again in a heartbeat. I spent the first 6 months of the wedding planning process overseas, but Kevin was very responsive and helpful during the process. I will add to be cautious with your guest count when starting the contract process. Kevin was helpful in warning us about over estimating so we brought the initial number down, I just didn't bring it down far enough just because we were so early on in the process. Despite my guest count over-estimation, Kevin offered up awesome suggestions to add into our menu. Specifically, our addition of the Sushi and Ahi Tuna appetizer was a crowd favorite that I have heard about since the wedding! The food is amazing, and the staff is great. 10/10 and 5 stars for Moore Fine Foods!
