Austin Catering blew all of our expectations of wedding food out of the water - they took our "breakfast for dinner" theme and ran with it, making an unforgettable menu of almond-crusted chicken and waffles and a brisket benedict - our guests RAVED about it. Not to mention they made donut holes for us !!! Can't recommend them enough - they took care of all the staffing and clean up and prep... worth every penny!

K.D. and her team did a fabulous job catering my wedding on 6.19.21. I received so many compliments from friends/family on how good the food was! K.D. was responsive and easy to work with! We did passed heavy appetizers instead of the traditional sit down dinner, and it turned out perfect. Some of the guests favorites were the Mac and cheese, shrimp/grits, brisket quesadillas, stuffed avocado, and sliders.

Austin Catering is awesome! I highly recommend this team. We hired them as our food caterer for our wedding, and everyone loved their dishes. My wife and I received SEVERAL compliments on the food, while some even asked how to make it. Prior to the wedding, you are given several food options to choose from. They even catered to my vegan friends. The food tasting was an enjoyable little experience and K.D., our main point of contact, was very nice, professional, and courteous. During the day of the wedding, the crew was well-mannered and helpful. They made sure the bride and groom got all the food

Austin Catering is a "Yes" vendor. If you have an idea for your venue set up or a type of food you want for dinner or late night snacks, chances are they will say yes and make it happen for you.
Austin Catering catered my wedding at a logistically challenging venue, and could not have done a better job. They were able to quickly and beautifully flip the venue from the ceremony to the dinners space without a hitch.
The food was absolutely incredible and we received tons of compliments from our guests! Our guests even asked us for Austin Catering's phone number so they could get the recipes.

Austin Catering is seriously one of the best in the industry. I work for a venue in Austin, TX (Springdale Station), and they are our number one most recommended catering company. Their food is AMAZING - such a large variety of food options. But, most importantly - their service is outstanding. A lot of times couples/clients don't know the importance of hiring companies with good service because it's usually their first time doing it - good service is important because it sets the tone throughout the event. Things like not slamming the door during toasts, or always being professional around guests

Thank you Austin Catering for lunch this week. We had the privilege of receiving a to go order from Austin Catering this week. With all of the hustle and bustle of getting back to work, having Austin Catering to go was a great resource.
Ordering was fast easy and friendly! The pick up was just as easy. Everyone in the office really enjoyed it.
The Lemon Herb Roasted Chicken Succulent. The Caramelized Onion Mash Potatoes where savory and Field Green Salad with strawberries, candied pecans, & champagne vinaigrette was refreshing!!
We look forward to trying all the other menu items!

We had the pleasure of working with K.D. at Austin Catering and have nothing but great things to say! Throughout the whole planning process, it was clear that K.D. was very knowledgeable and a great resource to go to for advice and suggestions. One thing that really made Austin Catering stand out to us was the way they plate their food. I was very hesitant to do a buffet style food service at my wedding, but seeing their food presentation and how everything was plated on beautiful serving dishes and not standard chaffing dishes was a huge plus! Most importantly though, the food was absolutely INCREDIBLE

I can't say enough good things about this place. My boyfriend and I have frequented their meal delivery/pick up services that they started during the COVID lockdown. Everything has been absolutely delicious. So far we have tried the breakfast strata, custom cheese flight for two, meatloaf, herb crusted beef medallions and the burgers. The desserts are also amazing. This is a great option for anyone looking for delicious food outside the normal door dash delivery fare. We can't wait to try other things on the menu!

For our winter wedding, the smoked salmon and macaroni and cheese were the absolute show stoppers. People were talking about Austin Catering's food for weeks after and some people went back for seconds! I highly recommend them.
We chose Austin Catering because they were affordable and had a great variety to satisfy my foodies and my pickies. At the tasting, I knew I picked correctly. They made boring green beans delicious! Anything they cook will taste great.
K.D. was great to work with. I made a lot of changes throughout the months and I never felt like I couldn't. Even though I had a smaller

Austin Catering has recently completed the second wedding in our family with 3 daughters. It just doesn't get any better than this for food, service and professionalism. The presentation is so well done, the details were well taken care of and the staff was very friendly and attentive. They took care of things I did not even know to think about. We have also used them for a couple of company Christmas parties at our favorite local winery, Bent Oak Winery. They are the only catering company we will use (hopefully for the third wedding) for all of our group events.

Simply amazing. From the initial inquiry and tasting through clean up on our wedding night the Austin Catering crew was phenomenal. KD helped coordinate everything behind the scenes then on the actual day the on-site team (Emily, Mervyn and so many others) made everything perfect. The food was phenomenal plus the team was so kind and friendly that it felt more like they were friends than servers. We received so many compliments on the food and bartenders that we are happy to shout praises from the rooftop for this amazing company. So stop searching and hire them immediately!

We used Austin Catering for our company holiday party last year. I wasn't part of the initial planning but from what I heard and experienced, it was a rocky start. The day of the holiday party, they were late setting up and we were told prior that we wouldn't have to prior linens for the buffet table. However that changed during set up of the event. Now the food was blah. Definitely nothing to write home about. It could have been we just picked the wrong option but it was not hot.The only thing that I enjoyed was the tostadas. Since we did not enjoy our experience, our company was offered

Austin Catering did a wonderful job catering the Wedding Welcome Dinner I hosted on the rooftop of the Austin Central Library. The staff was very professional, the planning was super efficient, and the food was delicious and got accolades. Everything was professionally managed from start to finish including arranging for lighting and linens, and I was able to relax and enjoy all of our guests. I highly recommend and I hope to be able to use them again.

What an amazing experience. Austin catering catered my wedding.
Ill start with saying i didnt have a very large budget and austin catering is one of the highest rated caterers in austin. So although I was sure they were worth the money, I just didnt have a lot to work with.
However, Christy worked with me until we found something in my price range that was perfect! She must have shown be 12 proposals and in the end she felt like family. I had to do everything online as I am stationed out of state and she was so flexible and helpful!
As for the wedding day, AMAZING service! We provided alcohol

Simply AMAZING. Honestly, I wish they had a restaurant I could go to. My wedding food was very important to me and they fully nailed it. Our guests even complimented on how good it all was. KD was exceptional in how she replied to all my concerns and worked with us. They set up our rentals and took care of everything for us. Hire them! You seriously won't regret it. From start to finish, so professional and wonderful at their job. Thank you for everything!

Austin Catering did an awesome job on our NYE bash. They helped with the menu, came to see the space and arrived 2.5 hrs ahead of the start to ensure a smooth start. Everyone was professional and helpful. The food was outstanding, everyone raved about it! In years past I used Royal Fig, who were good but not this good. They handled everything from the glass rental to beautiful flower arrangements. I couldn't be more pleased. I will definitely use them again!

I think it's a general issue for all brides to NOT eat or drink anything during their wedding - but with Austin Catering and the help of our planner Bethany Thomas from En Pointe Weddings (http://www.enpointeweddings.com/) we actually DID get to eat! In fact, Austin Catering assigned us a PERSONAL waiter named Victor (per Bethany's request/suggestion) who brought us waters, drinks, meals - anything we needed! We took 15 minutes post vows to eat and take a moment with each other in our getting ready suite, and the meal was AMAZING. Latin inspired pork, chicken, veggies, salad - so good

We recently had our wedding at the Vista on Seward Hill on 11/4 and went with Austin Catering for our food, linens, and beverages. We got engaged a few months after moving to Portland, OR from Austin and decided that having our wedding in Austin would be the best choice.

We kept in touch via email the entire time and she was so helpful and attentive and answered my billion silly questions! On the day of our wedding, everything was perfect.

Austin Catering is your caterer! They were wonderful in every sense - everything you could dream of for a caterer. When looking at other caterers, they were the most professional, had the best tasting food, and price. They were organized and gave me the sense that I would not need to stress out, if I hired them (interviewed other vendors, which seemed disorganized= more stress for the bride).
I worked closely with Audrey - and let me tell you, she is amazing. I was probably the most indecisive bride she's EVER had- but Audrey was super patient with me and all of the millions of questions

Simply put, the best catering experience I've ever had.
I ambitiously planned a housewarming party timed just three weeks after I relocated to Austin. I reached out to Austin catering and spoke to Audrey, who assuaged my fears and put together an experience that I will remember forever, as will my guests.
Within just a few weeks, she designed a menu for both stationary and passed hors d'oeuvres (high-end comfort food), a full premium bar (with some custom modifications), and then we put together a plan to turn my office into a kitchen so that my guest area could be open and uninterrupted
