Flavia with Austin Catering was such a joy. She was open to all my crazy ideas, and she was excited to make them happen. She thinks of the little things -- for example, we had tiramisu from an outside vendor for dessert. She asked if we wanted them to bring extra cocoa powder to make the slices look more appealing. Who does that? Not to mention she's just really sweet and cheerful. Everything went wonderfully the day of, and many, many people raved about the food! They accomodated an Argentinian-theme wedding for us, and even worked to refine small tweaks we made with a follow-up tasting. We also did adorable, late-night Chicago hot dogs that were also a hit! Their prices were very reasonable, too. To be completely honest, they did forget one very small thing (a drink garnish) and a bigger thing (fries we meant to serve with hot dogs), but honestly, that was far from our biggest concern, and they owned up to the mistake and refunded us. Overall, highly recommend! read more

My experience with Austin Catering showed a level of disorganization that I did not expect from a company in this industry. Communication was inconsistent, and several interactions happened with extremely short notice, making it difficult to understand what was going on or what the actual plan was. At one point, access to their system changed suddenly without any explanation. No message, no clarification, nothing. It created confusion and made the whole interaction feel unreliable. Overall, the process felt chaotic and poorly managed. Clear communication and basic structure were missing, and the experience left me with serious doubts about how the company operates. read more

From the first food tasting to our wedding day, every step was seamless while working with Giselle and her team at Austin Catering. I am very strict about food being served hot, and they absolutely delivered -- everything came out DELICIOUS. Our guests kept telling us it was some of the best wedding food they've ever had! Even our vendors highly recommend them and stated at previous wedding they were going back for seconds. Austin Catering was accommodating with food restrictions and allergies. The servers on the day of were kind, professional, and worked efficiently to keep everything running smoothly. Highly recommend Austin Catering for anyone looking for exceptional service and truly delicious food! read more

Giselle & her team are truly incredible. The communication and patience they had with us during our wedding planning was unmatched. I honestly expected to have mediocre food. I've never been to a wedding with normal catering and thought "wow that was great food". I kid you not, every single guest and vendor we spoke to RAVED about how good our food was. It was so much better than we expected and even better than our tastings! I'll be craving that meal for years to come. I couldn't recommend these guys enough! read more

My wife and I used Austin Catering for our wedding last year and would highly recommend them! They were very accommodating during the decision making process and everything we chose turned out delicious. We even got enthusiastic praise from some of our younger, quieter relatives on how much the food slapped. 100% would go with Austin Catering again! Thank you to Gabrielle and team! read more

Ok Austin catering hasn't catered for our wedding yet, but this is based off of our experience at the tasting. Will update later after the wedding! The food is phenomenal. We literally couldn't get enough of the mushroom gnocchi (I could literally eat it every day and not get tired of it. The steak was rather dry, but the salmon and chicken were delicious so we will likely go with those options. KD seems very knowledgeable and gave us a ton of different options to pick from. The signature cocktails are more affordable than any caterer in town. And they give you or donate any unused food that was kept at a food safe temperature at the end of the event! read more

The BEST. Austin Catering just catered our wedding this last weekend. They could not have been any better. The food was delicious and my friends are still talking about it. The service was even better, so professional and efficient. They were easy to work with, did everything they said they were going to do, arranged everything they said they would arrange and just generally made our event as easy for us as possible. But mostly, the food was delicious. How they can serve that many people in a place without a kitchen (and in the rain) and the food was perfectly cooked, warm or hot or cold just like it was supposed to be and fresh. I can't thank them enough. read more

Austin Catering was wonderful to work with. We went on several tastings around the Austin area and Austin Catering was by FAR our favorite! Their food was delicious as well as unique, which is challenging when cooking for such large parties. We have received countless compliments post-wedding about how great our food was! Our point-person was Flavia, who was a fantastic communicator. She was prompt with her responses and always happy to make as many tweaks to the menu as we needed. Austin catering took care of everything- not only the food, but also the bartending, rentals, linens, clean up and even the cake cutting! Their staff was professional and a well-oiled machine. They seem to have a consistent staff that all know each other and have worked there long-term (rather than the higher-turn-over companies). They have a great reputation all around Austin (with other caterers and event planners) and they definitely lived up to their name. read more

Hands down the best experience and food!!!! KD is absolutely incredible to work with and created pure magic for our wedding. I was blown away by the tasting, ate every last bite on my plate at the wedding, and got rave reviews from family and friends who all said it was the best food they'd ever had at a wedding. KD was honestly a rock through the planning process and made me feel assured the whole way through. We did passed appetizers, a buffet, dessert bar, and late night snack. The 10pm french fries were welcomed life savers and so delicious! My other favorites included the smoked pork tenderloin with orange-serrano reduction, chipotle caesar salad, fried avocado, and ceviche shooters. I also am gluten free and the entire meal was 100% GF, which made people (especially my celiac flower girl) SOOOO HAPPY! I could go on all day. Go with Austin Catering... you won't regret it!!! read more

We used Austin Catering for our wedding back in October and we were so pleased with how all the setup food came out! They provided a lot for our wedding: staff to serve food as well as setup the ceremony and reception spaces, all the linens and plate settings that we used, as well as delicious food! Everything was immaculate. We got their crostini bar as well as some passed polenta bites for our cocktail hour. We got the roast beef, mushroom gnocchi, roasted vegetables and mixed salad for our main course. Everything was fantastic, especially the mushroom gnocchi (I have had multiple people bring it up to me after the fact). We had some alterations to dishes to cater to our specific guests and desires, and the team at Austin Catering handled it all with ease. If you're looking for a full service caterer, you can't go wrong with Austin Catering. read more

We hired Austin Catering for our 3/26/22 wedding and they were amazing!! They were able to tweak menu items to make them GF and worked with us and our planner to customize dishes. We did family style for our 50 person wedding and everyone told us this was the best food they had at a wedding!! They also provided our chasers, juices, and bartenders! read more

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 for sangria and I thought we would need to cut the fruit, or help out. NOPE they did it ALL! Can't say enough about them read more

We originally worked with Lisa Thompson and, after postponing our wedding due to COVID-19, worked with K.D. Tucker. Both were true joys to work with! Lisa helped arrange our original menu and tasting prior to booking, and she made this process SO easy, which was especially impressive because we could not be on-site (destination wedding) and we had a lot of different guest preferences and dietary restrictions to consider. Instead of a generic menu with options to choose from, we told Lisa what we needed to consider, and she crafted us the perfect menu - and was also so gracious when we kept adding and taking away items in trying to balance food and budget. The transition for postponing the wedding and to working with K.D. was seamless, and K.D. was so ready and professional with reminding us of deadlines, answering all of our questions (some even a bit miscellaneous) leading up to the day-of, and dealing with last-minute issues without us even having to think about them. Throughout the whole process, both Lisa and K.D. were incredibly responsive and attentive to our needs and wants. We had tastings at several catering companies and decided that Austin Catering really came through in quality, taste, appearance, and price for wedding food. During our reception, Austin Catering staff continually made sure we always had the food and drink we wanted in hand and even set aside portions of appetizers for us at dinner in case we missed them! Even a couple weeks after our wedding, our guests were still raving that the food was some of the best wedding food they've had! You cannot go wrong with hiring Austin Catering for your wedding! read more

We tried one of the specials of the week- Spanish Tapas Trio and it was delicious. Excellent price for the quality of food. It made for an easy pick up and Friday night dinner at home with a bottle of wine and a loaf of their fresh focaccia. Yum!! read more

We had a Passover Seder catered by Austin catering and it was wonderful. I mean every dish was very well done and the brisket was exceptional. I cannot say enough about the quality and service we received and can't recommend enough. Thank you Austin catering for evening our evening a huge success!!!! read more

Exceeded expectations at our son's rehearsal dinner. The presentation and delicious taste was off the charts. Favorites were the shrimp and grits, tenderloin with yummy mashed potatoes and scallops but everybody would say that they loved everything!!! Kristin and her team are food connoisseurs - you are in incredible hands with them catering your event. read more

Dedicated, Passionate & Outstanding When a business Loves & is passionate for what they do you know everything will be outstanding read more

We used Austin Catering for my daughters wedding. I can't say enough about Kristin and her staff. They went above and beyond our expectations. We got more compliments on the food and the bar staff. They are worth checking out. I would not hesitate to use them again. read more

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! read more

I ordered the sweet potato casseroles for Thanksgiving and due to changing circumstances, just had opportunity to taste test one of them...and was disappointed....they have little taste....I feel if you add some butter, a little sugar or spenda, nutmeg, cinnamon and allspice, it will really perk the taste up for the good....very bland as given to me...even with more glazing and pecans would have helped...texture is good but taste needs help....the pumpkin pie, according to those eating it, was very good....good service and on time for pickup of the items.... read more

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! Our friends and family raved about the food and drinks - specifically the smoke salmon. I am still amazed that they were able to keep the food tasting so delicious when feeding around 200 people. The whole evening truly couldn't have been better and Austin Catering played a major role in making it so special. I only hope to one day plan another event in Austin so that we can use Austin Catering again! read more

We had a wonderful experience with Austin Catering. Our wedding was at Umlauf and Austin Catering is a preferred vendor. I have to say I was really, really impressed with how good the food was at our wedding. It was probably my favorite food of any wedding I've been to (okay maybe I'm biased, but we got a couple compliments to that effect.) Day-of food was even better than I remembered it when we visited for a tasting. Kristin was great and easy to work with, responded to our questions quickly. We had some anxiety about the peculiarities of our venue but Austin Catering really made everything run incredibly smooth. Day-off staff was top notch in every respect (particularly Mervin, who was above and beyond.) The bartender helped our friend re-tie her high heels. Absolutely exceeded expectations, we couldn't have been happier. read more

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! read more

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. read more

Hired Austin-Catering for a retirement party with Austin Party Cruises and both did a fantastic job at a decent price. The food was fantastic and we didn't have to worry about anything. They took care of setting up, serving and clean up without any supervision or direction. Perfect execution. And the food was FANTASTIC. read more

Impressive, Flattering and Fulfilling... June 3, 2011 we had the opportunity of a lifetime to share our wedding with a little over 100 friends and family at Natures Point nestled above Lake Travis in Lago Vista,TX. As with any wedding the Bride and Groom have so many choices to make but a very important issue with us was our catering. We interviewed three catering companies for our event and eventually did tastings with two of them. Hands down we were delighted when tasted and picked Austin Catering. If you have the opportunity or need a caterer, you must look no further than Austin Catering. We gave them our ideas and our budget and they provided us a menu and ideas that delivered right in our sweet spot! We were pretty fickle about our menu as we both enjoy cooking and tasting all different types of cuisine. Austin Catering was able to provide us with menu options that not only pleased our palate but also fulfilled our desire to have food choices that represented us. We have since the wedding talked to guests that were impressed enough to mention how much they enjoyed the food. We chose to go with a menu that included very normal protein, vegetable, starch items but Austin Catering delivered those with a twist of there very own that was both unique and savory. They even "catered" to our request (pun intended) to have a specialty menu item that included figs and Gorgonzola cheese. Somehow they delivered on the request with perfection by doing a roasted fig and cheese pizza type creation that was delicious. There were simply too many menu options for us to discuss here in one post but I will say that the menu pulled together by Susan H. and the staff at Austin Catering was simply "Impressive, Flattering and Fulfilling." We sincerely thank you for helping make our wedding memorable! Bryan & Christy W. read more

Austin Catering provided two meals for us - a 100 person TexMex wedding reception in Round Rock and a brunch in my Austin city backyard. From start to finish, they were professional and easy to work with. Food was great, service extraordinary. Happily recommend Austin Catering. read more

We have used Austin Catering multiple times. Each time - a fantastic job. Kristen catered my wedding, my 40th surprise birthday party and has now begun cooking for my wifes law firm and their special events. read more

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! read more

Austin catering co. The response time to get a proposal is extremely long. We ended up going with someone else that contacted us faster, even when we call them days after. read more

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 I had. I changed my mind so many times, but she always updated the proposal and immediately sent it my way. Everyone at my wedding raved about the food and kept saying how delicious it was - now who doesn't want to hear that feedback? Austin Catering is the way to go - trust me, you won't regret it! read more

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 by her team. The team included bartender Ada, server Javi (sp?) and Dee, who was a cooking machine. Their patience (I was a bit frantic when they showed up!), friendliness, professionalism and care of me and my guests was exceptional. And when they left, it was like they were never there. They left my home SPOTLESS. Everyone raved about the food and the service, and I immediately reached out to inquire about booking them for another party at my home. You cannot go wrong with Austin Catering. read more

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! I heard that a few folks didn't feel full, but we opted for Family Style meals - so that could have been a problem at just one table. I didn't get to see much else after that, but I've heard nothing but great things about them from the guests. Even my big italian family LOVED the meal, and they can be wary of anything outside of pasta. They were great - they helped set up, tear down, mix drinks, you name it! They even booked us in for a fast tasting on Dec 22 - which is a REALLY busy time of year. They picked up linens, bussed tables, and helped clean red wine spills. We even had a young guest (2 years old) who got really sick during the dinner, and the parents had to take him home fast - and Austin Catering boxed up three meals "to go" for them! They provided vendor meals at a discounted rate, and were generally awesome. read more

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! read more

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 a credit to use within the next year. I'm currently planning a small event for 30 people at the office and reached out to Austin Catering (K.D.). I only wanted to spend the amount of the credit and have the food as a drop off service. After two weeks of emailing back and forth, the proposal that was sent totaled to more than the credit and I was told that they were no longer available on that date. I emailed them 8 days ago and requested that the credit be refunded to us by check and that we will not be using Austin Catering in the future. I have not received a response since. read more

I used Austin Catering this past December for my company holiday party. I have refrained from writing a terrible review until now because of what was promised to me for the poor service I received back in December. To make this review short and sweet I will just say a few things... The caterers upon their arrival were scrambling to put out what was necessary and asked me questions like "where should this go?" They were given a specific PDF printed map of where the tables and food were to be located. I was busy setting up decorations and did not have time to give orders to them. Any time I tried to communicate with the staff they acted as if I was inconveniencing them. They had told us that they would bring linens for the tables, but upon arrival they had nothing. The food was extremely cold, not a single burner was placed under the food trays to keep the food hot. I requested that we please have allergens listed on all of the food items and of course not a single allergen was listed. Dessert was not clearly distinguished from heavy appetizers and this led the guests to be very confused when making plates. The staffing fees are crazy high and they have even more hidden fees in what they like to call the "operations fee." After the party I told them exactly how I felt and the feedback was received well. The owner of Austin Catering, K.D., personally called me and apologized. She even offered a $500.00 credit that she said we could use at any point this year. When we told them this month about a small game night we were going to have they last minute bailed and told us the date was now no longer available and they had the audacity to ask US to change the date of our event. NOT WORTH YOUR TIME. DO NOT BELIEVE THIS 5 STAR RATING! read more

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. Having to plan a wedding from halfway across the country was overwhelming, but K.D. made everything so easy! 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. The food was amazing, the drinks kept coming, the staff was helpful and friendly and right on top of everything making sure our day went as smoothly as possible. I would absolutely recommend Austin Catering to anyone and everyone! read more

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. read more

We had 100 guests at our daughter's wedding at Star Hill Ranch. K.D., and Austin Catering served the best food we have EVER had at a wedding. Great service as well - our guests were very impressed! read more

Austin Catering may have been our very favorite wedding vendor! We met with pretty much all of the better-known caterers in town and were immediately impressed by the responsiveness, detail orientation, creativity, and ability to nail our vision when designing our menu that Austin Catering showed. Their pricing is on par with other caterers in town - neither the most nor the least expensive - but the quality of their food and their service is the very best. In fact, you could argue that they're a bargain because their pricing includes full reception coordination, right down to meeting to choose linens/rental items, setting up decor, and making sure that everything is sent home with the right people at the end of the night. We ended up saving a ton of money by bypassing a full day-of coordinator because of this. And, our Austin Catering planner Susan was phenomenal. She was ridiculously speedy in replying to any questions we threw her way - big and small - and was always thoughtful and thorough in her responses. Heck, she even seemed to take pleasure in saving us a few dollars here and there on rental items and the like! She has so much expertise, knowledge, and unflappability that we knew we were in excellent hands throughout the planning process and the wedding day. She shared her opinion when we asked, which was such a blessing because we trusted her implicitly and appreciated her perspective as a seasoned professional. On our actual day, the entire Austin Catering team was so friendly, warm, and capable - they helped set the tone of relaxed elegance that we had hoped we could create. And, the food: in a word, phenomenal! We had multiple tables of guests commenting that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Even a local chef who attended could not believe how delicious and beautifully presented the meal was! We cannot say enough good things about Austin Catering. Heck, we're trying to come up with another event - an anniversary dinner? a birthday party? - to have an excuse to work with Susan and her team again. Loved them! read more
