I called Kendra on a Friday to cater a business luncheon for five on the following Monday. I gave…read moreher very little direction - that there were two vegetarians in the group, and that was it. She prepared a BEAUTIFUL meal of lemon pepper chicken (for the meat eaters) and veggie pasta salad for the vegetarians. The meal came in four courses: salad (she brought three dressings), entrée, dessert (cookies individually wrapped for each person), and fruit after our meal. She arrived 45 minutes before I did (I was flying in from Baltimore) to set up, and the table scape was beautiful. She brought her own linens, real ceramic dishes, glass glasses, etc. And on top of that, she served us throughout the meal. Basically, Kendra brought the four star dining experience of a restaurant to us (and on very short notice, I reiterate). She is capable of doing both small parties and larger functions such as weddings (up to 500 people). If you need catering in the Charlotte area, I highly highly highly recommend Kendra. You cannot go wrong.

Kraving Catering provided my daughter with a beautiful and delicious array of gluten-free…read moreappetizers and desserts for her wedding reception, along with lovely wedding reception table decorations. My daughter (the future bride) planned her wedding reception with Chef Kendra of Kraving Catering. She often raved about Chef Kendra's help throughout the process: "She is wonderful to work with! Chef Kendra is such a big help! She gets right back to me! She has wonderful ideas!" I met Chef Kendra prior to the actual wedding. She and her crew were personable, prompt and professional. My daughter was thrilled with the delicious desserts, as were our guests. When Chef Kendra found out how our wedding cake baker bowed out at the last minute, she baked the bride and groom a special gluten-free wedding cake for them! (as a wedding gift to them) It was a wonderful relief to know we didn't have to think about tablecloths and table decorations; Kraving Catering provided them and they were lovely. They were a joy to work with; we highly recommend them and would definitely use them again.

I will absolutely hire him again for any other occasions that come up, it wasn't just the food, it was the service, the professionalism and his prices were very reasonable.

After a quick call I relaxed and realized I wouldn't even have to lift a finger. We had personalized menus with the listing for the evenings fare. We celebrated with champagne as we prepared for the food to be laid out. Raspberry almond salad topped with bacon that I couldn't get enough of. Garlic whipped potatoes which were just the right consistency to accompany the main course Creamy chicken Marsala that I had to get two helpings of because I couldn't get enough & I don't even like mushrooms.

AMAZING!!! We…read morecannot say enough GRATE things about this company. We did our wedding in Cleveland, NC and were beyond happy with the service Grate povided. We had the pleasure of working with Sarah and she was beyond what we could have expected. She shows a true passion for the customer service she provides. Whether it be quickly replying to our countless questions or going into in depth detail about all of the food options we were selecting. She was a ginormous part of why we ended up choosing this caterer. Another awesome thing about this company is that they are reasonably priced, and are willing to work with you on the price. For our budget, we were picking options on the cheaper end and they weren't pushy about the more expensive options at all. If anything, they were looking for ways to help us do things a little cheaper which we really appreciated. As for the food, we heard only awesome reviews from our guests! The late night grilled cheese bar was the best decision we could have made, extremely affordable and absolutely delicious! All in all, would highly recommend there services for any event!

They told me my options, how much it would be and answered any questions. They were also able to take a last minute final number change. As far as on the day of the event, the server who came showed up early and called me to locate us. He was very friendly and unloaded everything for us. He also had a positive attitude when we had to move the food to a different spot. He set everything up beautifully. The food was delicious!! We had plenty of food and chips for everyone as well as a wide variety of salsas and toppings. Each food also had a little menu card saying what it was, and if it was gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free etc. they put the food in trays with warmers so it stayed hot for the entire event.
