9 Best Caterers in Norfolk

“I really enjoy this restaurant! I've tried the Caribbean, Thai, Steak, and Salmon bowls — all were delicious, with the Salmon bowl being my personal favorite. The Baja Shrimp Wrap is also packed with flavor and definitely worth trying. Portion sizes are generous and satisfying. The only downside is the wait time. If you walk in, be prepared for a long wait to get your food. I've attempted to order by phone, but on a few occasions, I was placed on hold and never got a response — likely due to understaffing. It’s clear they need more help during busy times, especially in this season. That said, the food itself is consistently excellent, and the flavors never disappoint.“

“Chef by Design is absolutely fabulous. Marcy, Emily and the whole team. Everything was PERFECT on our wedding day and darn good food is such an important part of that we wouldn’t have trusted anyone other than Chef by design. We knew about them from being such a staple in the area and then choosing The Neon on House as our reception venue. They were wonderful at pivoting during Covid and changing our wedding to a small backyard setting, even honoring our request to use my moms crystal and china. The menu was inventive like a progressive garden party dinner with many courses that encouraged good conversation and a relaxed vibe. My mom worked closely with them and we will continue to for our big bash/belated reception in March. We even used them at Easter time and for my bachelorette party. They’re true seasoned pros and keep it fresh. Delish food. Never disappoints. I can’t WAIT to see what inventive food displays they come up with for March. Thank you guys soooo much for the perfect day!!!“

“I had my daughter’s bridal shower catered by East Beach Catering for a Sunday Brunch. They did a fantastic job with the food, displays and setup. I was very impressed with the quality of the food and presentation. Not to mention that everything was so delicious. I will definitely be using them again for any future events,“

“My new go-to lunch spot! Food is always fresh and amazing!“

“Her custom cakes are beautiful and taste wonderful. We have ordered several over the years and they always bring gasps from our guests when served.“

“We ordered a sandwich platter and chips for our in-office quarter-end catch-up day. We placed the order this morning, and it was ready for pickup at the new Hilltop location by 12:30 PM. Great service and delicious sandwiches. 3/18/2025 ordered another sandwich platter today for our in-office workday and it was GREAT. Thanks again!!“

“I have ordered from Cj twice. I love the braised collard greens and the Virgin Mimosa top with raspberries! It is so delicious!! It is nice to have a private chef to come to your house and cook for you, without the wait time and annoying long stand in the line . I had an gourment meal at home in a nice quiet place, without the all the holiday nose and chaos.“

“Fried pickes? ✅️ French fries? ✅️ Wing night on Wednesday? ✅️ Burgers? ✅️ Mojos has it all. Very nice outdoor patio, stainless steel CLEAN bar, and currently 7 beers on tap! Happy hour is until 8! Bartenders are attentive and happy to serve. Awesome place! Definitely give it a go.“

“the food was very flavorful and hot when it arrived but the dark chicken was too small. I wish I could include a picture but I don't see that option. I ordered the dark meat jerk BBQ with cabbage and rice“
