“Wonderful experience catering smokin beauty for a grad party for ~30 people. Portions were generous, prices were great, service was punctual and professional, and most importantly- food was delicious! Got lots of compliments and had plenty of leftovers“

“10/10! Chef Homero is absolutely amazing. He made our event extra special and the guest were raving about the paella. Would have him back in a heartbeat!“

“Chef Crusco and his team were OUT OF THIS WORLD amazing. This is the second time I’ve used them, and both times they have hit the ball right out of the park. The food was spot on, the servers and bartender he had here were TOP NOTCH. Everyone was professionally dressed, the kitchen ended up cleaner than when he started and most importantly, THE FOOD WAS INCREEEEEDIBLE!!! Call him. I promise, you won’t be disappointed.“

“I have had the absolute pleasure of working with the ever so talented owner of Cinful Sweets. To say the chocolates from this boutique are delicious is an understatement! Every piece of chocolate is an art piece, so pretty you won't want to eat them. This is my go-to for everything chocolate! Highly recommend!“

“Imagine this: a moving company in the heart of Texas, tasked with the impossible. No, not lifting heavy boxes or squeezing grand pianos through narrow doorways—those are just warm-ups. The true challenge? Finding Tex-Mex that could impress a room full of picky, spice-loving Texans. Enter Rebel Catering and the culinary magician, Rahul, who not only accepted this mission but absolutely crushed it.

When Rebel Catering rolled up to our event, it was like the cavalry arriving in a delicious, tortilla-wrapped package. The aroma of sizzling fajitas and fresh salsa hit us like a glorious taco truck of destiny, and we knew we were in for something special.

Rahul and his team brought their A-game. The spread? Oh boy. It wasn’t just Tex-Mex; it was a Tex-Mex extravaganza. Fajitas that could make you cry tears of joy and guacamole so fresh it practically did the Macarena on our tongues. And the boozy snowcones? Let’s just say they turned our team into a group of merry, snowcone-sipping movers who considered quitting their day jobs for a life of flavor and frozen delight.

But wait, there's more! Rebel Catering didn’t just bring the flavor—they brought the friendly vibes and professional service that made us feel like VIPs at a fiesta. Rahul, the man with a plan and a smile that could outshine the Texas sun, made sure every detail was perfect, from start to finish.

To sum it up, if you're looking for food that will make your taste buds do a happy dance and service that makes you feel like part of the family, Rebel Catering is your go-to. Hats off (or should we say sombreros?) to Rahul and his team for turning our event into a Tex-Mex paradise. Five stars aren’t enough. We’re talking five hundred stars, a mariachi band, and a parade.

Thank you, Rebel Catering, for making our event move to a whole new level of deliciousness!

My kids even loved them!“

“Kristin and Claire are such a pleasure to work with. They make sure the wedding runs smooth and the quality of food is top-notch. We look forward to more events with Austin Catering. Highly recommend!“

“We hired La Pera to cater our photoshoot at a studio this month, and could not have imagined a more fabulous, vibrant experience. Beth and her team were on time, quick to set up, and left us with a gorgeous breakfast, then came back and delivered an equally impressive and delicious lunch. I cannot wait for another opportunity to welcome La Pera back onto our set -- what a treat! Truly the best catering I have had here in Austin, heck anywhere. 10/10 would recommend!“

“This could be the best jerk chicken in Texas....that's really good.“

“I want give Cassandra and her team a shout-out for such a fantastic job in catering our son’s rehearsal dinner!! They are a class act. Everything was delicious. People were commenting the next day how wonderful the food was and how your staff made sure we had plenty to eat. Thank you for all you did to make the Bride and Groom feel special! They were impressed with how you made sure they ate by fixing them food first. I would recommend you every time!!!“

“Our (delivered to our home!) passover meal was so delicious. Thanks very much for making it happen - the matzoh ball soup was probably the best I've ever had!“

“I mean.. I can't lie the sandwiches are on the small side. However, they're decently dense and the flavor is amazing.

Have you been disappointed by most of the restaurants downtown? You might finally get a decent meal if you go here.“

“Dolce Bacio Gelato was such a hit at our wedding! Everyone loved it, the gelato was absolutely delicious, super creamy, and the perfect treat for a warm wedding night. They had so many amazing flavors that our guests couldn’t stop going back for more! The setup was beautiful, the service was friendly and professional, and it added such a fun, unique touch to reception. Huge thank you to the Dolce Bacio Gelato team for making our night extra sweet, we can’t recommend them enough!!!“

“Pictures tend more bright and sterile than the real experience. To me this is a warm inviting place, laid back, counter service with table delivery. Reminds me of the small tx town restaurant of last century. Biscuits and gravy is my go to. Sandwiches are great too. Food is well prepared and sweets counter is outstanding.“

“Wonderful experience at the venue.“

“My favorites...Epic Corn Dog, Jalapeño Cheese Bomb, Deep Fried Chesecake, Deep Fried Oreos and the Best Service!!!!“

“Devon and his wife have worked hard to bring flavorful, exotic and just darn good food to everyone. Their food is flavorful, delicious, and ignites your tastebuds. If you haven’t tried their food frankly shame on you. The peri peri chicken will leave you in a food coma. The curry chicken is AMAZING. The first bite will send your tongue into a food-gasm😂😂!! When you bite into this food not only do you taste the love that is poured into these dishes. You get authenticity. Honestly I thank Devon and his wife for this small glimpse into South African culture. They serve you with a smile and they are never in that much of a hurry to shoo you away no matter how busy they are. I almost forgot the samosa’s. A MUST TRY!! Don’t take my word for it. Please do you and your tastebuds a favor TRY THIS FOOD!!!!!! Have family coming in and want to impress them. Call Devon place an order. Once again thank you guys!“

“I had the pleasure of booking Gladwin's kitchen service for my event, and I must say, she did an absolutely outstanding job. The food she served was not only delicious, but it exceeded all expectations. My guests and I thoroughly enjoyed every single dish.“

“Courtney's Catering is an excellent choice. Not only is the food amazing but their customer service is right on point. Planning a big event can be stressful, so working with a vendor that is professional and caring makes a big difference. The staff that came to our event was phenomenal! I met Enriqueta, sweet lady that was very helpful. In addition to the bussers we hired through Courtney's we also hired some from the venue. We were not happy with the venue's bussers for so many reasons. However, Courtney's bussers filled in the gaps without hesitation. I was very impressed with them. They are the full package! The staff and food are winners! Our guests were raving about the food. The cost compared to other venues is a great value. Don't think about it or waste time researching other catering companies. I spent a lot of time researching and hands down, I'm so glad I found them. Thank you Courtney's Catering!“

“Love love love this place! They have the best employees who actually care about the people they are interacting with! And huge bonus that the donuts are delish! Will be a forever customer!“

“We had TBS cater our wedding and it was THE best choice! Tons of compliments on the food all night long. Highly recconmend TBS for your event if you are searching!!“

“I heard about Emily from a family friend and reached out. Emily created a custom catering menu for my husband & I's wedding in a short time that had all the types of foods we love at an AMAZING price. She worked within my budget & helped to provide way more than just the food for the wedding. Emily was flexible with our tasting & was very detailed in her descriptions of everything we ate as well as willing to work with us on what we wanted the same or different for the actual day. She is so creative & an amazing chef.One of our goals was to have good food at our wedding, and our guests are still talking about how amazing the food was. Everyone had at least 2 servings. The food went above and beyond my expectations, and so did Emily & her team. I seriously can't say enough good things about how delicious the food was and how great Emily was to work with. She did so much to help alleviate any stress for me, and I am so appreciative. I have recommended Emily to 4 friends planning their wedding already & will continue to tell anyone in need of a caterer in Austin to BOOK WITH PRIMIZIE CATERING!! I don't know how I got so blessed with my vendors, especially this one.“

“Afuga Coffee offers a variety of beverages from coffee, tea, cocoa, beer, and wine. Additionally, they offer delicious pastries, tasty sandwiches, and fabulous charcuterie boards. The staff is always friendly and accommodating. A great spot for you to stop at before or after heading down to the lake for a stroll.“

“We are so grateful that Colbert Culinary Creations assisted us with preparing our 5 fresh turkeys so that we could serve 125 Thanksgiving themed meals to the underserved in Austin. They were delicious. He was professional. We are grateful. Please support his business.“

“The unagi roll with brie was outstanding! And the taiyaki was nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, with just the perfect subtle sweetness of red beans. An elevated yet affordable take on authentic Japanese flavors. So excited they moved in right next to my workplace! 😁
Fast, friendly service. The maneki neko and Japanese music are a nice touch. I'll certainly be back soon! ご馳走さまでした！“

“Fast, friendly and great selection of drinks! Love the patio area😊“

“The entire Crave team is so lovely to work with! Tiffany was our onsite coordinator for our wedding and made sure every detail was flawless. The food and service were exceptional! Our guests were raving about how good the food was and how attentive the servers were the entire day. If you’re looking for a caterer in Austin, I cannot recommend Crave enough!“

“No high fructose corn syrup and it’s still amazing!? Say it ain’t so haha! Love this line of barbecue sauces that have recently entered my life. Candy jalapeño was my favorite but sweet heat and sugar peach have definitely taken over the top two spots now.“

“We were invited to collaborate with Hank’s Catering for a recent event and were BLOWN AWAY by the tables upon tables of delicious dishes. From a charcuterie display, bagel bar, pastas, proteins to the creamiest Mac and cheese you will ever eat, you cannot pick wrong from their menu. The staff at Hank’s are so kind and their drink selection is out of this world!“

“This restaurant is right next to a waterway giving it charm and fun views. the portions are Texas sized! I've had tons of BBQ and this is the best brisket I've ever had. (2nd cut) don't sleep on the slaw it was delicious! Alex gave us phenomenal service from start to finish.“

“Fibonacci Food catered our daughter's wedding reception in Austin in April. It was the best catered food I have ever had and it was insanely reasonably priced. We had chicken, flank steak, smashed potatoes, broccoli rabe and a Caesar salad along with a dessert spread. My daughter is pescatarian and Ashley brought her a piece of salmon, which I thought was such a sweet gesture. Delilah and Heidi were the perfect servers and took fantastic care of our guest. The food was a HUGE hit...which is not always the case at a wedding reception!“

“Amazing food and character! We had Chef Gil create for our wedding and as expected we (and all of our guests) were blown away! Staff a dream to work with and you will be beyond pleased working with this team and chef! Braised short rib is to die for!“

“We cannot recommend the Etter-Harbin Alumni Center enough! Although it’s known as the UT Alumni Center, it is so much more, a stunning, elegant venue that absolutely wowed us and our guests. We had countless people comment on how beautiful the space was and how incredible the food tasted.

Ashley, from Rosemary’s Catering, was our main point of contact and truly the MVP. Her communication and organization leading up to our big day made the entire process feel seamless. She was responsive, kind, and made sure every detail was taken care of, which was especially helpful since we were planning from outside of Austin.

We chose the Tex-Mex buffet and it was an absolute hit! The food was fresh, delicious, and plentiful. To top it all off, we added Amy’s Ice Cream for dessert, and our guests are still talking about it.

Booking with Etter-Harbin made wedding planning so much easier. Through them, we handled all the food, drinks, and rentals in one place. Once we secured the venue, all we needed was a coordinator, photographer, florist, and DJ and their preferred vendor list helped us find amazing people for each.

This venue is beautiful, well-run, and perfect for anyone wanting a smooth planning process and an unforgettable day.“

“We hired Dagar’s for my daughter’s wedding and impressed with with the Excellent service from the servers, delicious food, and all for a great price. The food was hot, bartenders were friendly and kept the full bar going so everyone was happy! I highly recommend Dagar’s!!! I will definitely use them again for the next wedding or event.“

“Alfred was absolutely spectacular from start to finish! The entire catering experience exceeded expectations. The food was exceptionally fresh, beautifully presented, and tasted amazing. Every dish was clearly made with care and high-quality ingredients. Beyond the food, Alfred’s professionalism and customer service truly stood out. He was punctual, well-prepared, and maintained excellent communication throughout the entire process, making everything smooth and stress-free. He was attentive to every detail and went above and beyond to ensure that everything was perfect for our event. It’s rare to find someone who combines great food with such a high level of service, and Alfred delivered both flawlessly. I highly recommend Alfred’s Catering Service and will definitely be using his services again in the future!“

I want to highly recommend Word of Mouth Catering, I was in a timeline trying to find a caterer for my daughter's wedding after her letting us know she was getting married only with a week's notice. After calling other catering places and getting turned down because of such a small amount of time for them to help. Word of Mouth came through with only 4 days before the event. The food was delicious, the staff was incredible, super friendly, professional and courteous. Oh, did I mention this was on a Sunday evening! Hats off to Word of Mouth, will use them again in a heartbeat!!!👏🏻👏🏻“

“I hired Pappa’s Catering for my wedding and it was perfect! I had one wedding guest say the fajitas were “the best dang fajitas I’ve ever had”. They grilled on-site so everything was fresh and tasted amazing! I had several guests tell me the staff and bartenders were phenomenal and the buffet line didn’t take long at all! If you need fajitas and all the fixings plus great catering staff, look no further and have Pappa’s!“

“We recently used Dream for our wedding and couldn’t have had a better experience. Wedding food doesn’t always have the best reputation, but Dream completely changed that for us. Everything we tried at the tasting was great, and it was somehow even better on the actual day. The staff was professional, friendly, and just easy to work with. I can’t recommend them enough.“
