We have not used Best Mobil Chef. The important thing to know is that they respond. So many caterers do NOT respond. Their menu is awesome and I hope we will be able to use the i the future. read more

They catered a Celebration of Life on short notice. We were from out of town and had never done anything like that before and Chef Shawna was a huge help. Way more people than we anticipated ended up wanting to come and they were able to take care of everything and food was fantastic! read more

Shawna was great! Our meal was excellent. She was on time, responsive, flexible and cleaned everything up. We had a wonderful experience!

We hired best mobile chef for drop off service for our Micro wedding ( 34 of us total). Let me start by saying, Shawna was absolutely amazing, professional, organized, and above all- she was in time ( ahead of schedule) and made us an amazing dinner of chicken Chardonnay, truffled mashed potatoes, green beans with bacon, salad, and bread for all our guests. Oh! And best of all, she also made us a to die for lemon raspberry 3 tier wedding cake. If I had to do this all again I would hire Best mobile chef every time! Amazing Shawna- I can't thank you enough for making out wedding food so good and stress free!! read more

We had a wonderful Holiday Party last night and very happy/full bellies thanks to Chef Shawna! Everything was delicious - we went with charcuterie boards & heavy apps for 30-35 people, and everyone went back for thirds and fourths!!! Drop off service was great, and she even sent toothpicks, little serving spoons for the crab cakes, and very thorough instructions on how to plate everything!!! We'll absolutely be working with her again for our in-home events!! read more

We used Shawna for a dinner party, and she was awesome! She worked with me to pick the perfect menu for my guests, was on time to drop off the food, and made the most delicious meal!! My guests were raving about the food all night. Her risotto is out of this world! We'd definitely use her services again! read more

We hired Best Mobile Chef for our wedding reception. Everything was perfect, and many of our guests wanted more. The beef tri tip was very tender and juicy. We loved the appetizers, and the mini desserts did not last long. Shawna and her team were beyond amazing and so easy to work with. You can not go wrong with Best Mobile Chef for your next event. read more

Chef Shawna was amazing! My girlfriends and I rented out a beach house for my 40th birthday and we wanted to stay in and have a special dinner our first night in town. I looked around for other chefs and Shawna was prompt with her quote and her pricing was very reasonable. We came up with a menu to best meet my needs. Upon arrival, chef Shawna wouldn't let us lift a finger! Her and her awesome assistant mother lugged all of their things to the second floor kitchen. As they prepared, my newly vegan daughter [insert eye roll] called to request a vegan plate last minute (more like last second). I told chef Shawna to not worry about her meal. Next thing I knew, they quietly left to the store to get ingredients to make my daughter a vegan dinner and dessert. Talk about going ABOVE AND BEYOND! The food was exceptional! We had Beef tenderloin crostini, Blue cheese dates wrapped in bacon, Salad with sliced pear, walnuts and feta finished with champagne vinaigrette, panko pesto salmon, Fennel potato gratin, String beans with caramelized shallots and cheesecake with caramel sauce. It was all to die for! Chef Shawna took very good care of us. Her hospitality and service cannot be beat! Hope to do this again next visit to San Diego! read more

Chef Shawna was so great! We had her cater a business dinner for 14, and everything was fabulous! Started with veggie ceviche and pears with honey, goat cheese and walnuts. Next, I had the Salmon with pesto and panko crust, green beans, and scalloped potatoes which were all so perfectly cooked and delicious, and our guests all raved about the steaks! A heavenly creme brulée finished the meal. I was seated having dessert and talking with people, and when I got up for a minute and walked into the kitchen, she was gone without a trace and no evidence of ever having been there- the kitchen was immaculate! She brings all of her own tools, was so pleasant with a huge smile the entire time. 5 stars and highly recommended for your next dinner party. read more

Wow, wow,wow. Shawna just catered my husband's birthday cocktail party. This is one day after and I have received emails from most guests raving about the food. I do not have one thing remotely negative to say. Food was remarkable, the service so friendly, my kitchen looks like it did before she walked in the door, just.........WOW read more

Shawna is wonderful! Very responsive, accommodating, and the food is delicious. I am excited to have her cater our wedding and in the meantime I'll recommend her to everyone. read more

Chef Shawna is truly a gem. We were lucky to find her to cook for a small, weekend-long event in Rancho Santa Fe just weeks before her move to Austin TX. She worked with us ahead of time to create the perfect menus with the highlight being an 8-course tasting menu for the reception dinner. Course after course came out beautifully plated and brilliantly executed. The guests were delighted meal after meal with her delicious food and are still talking about it weeks later. She was personable, professional, and charming as she interacted with the guests over the three days. It was truly a perfect weekend and we owe a large portion of that to her. Austin, you are lucky to have her! read more

Best Mobile Chef catered a small wedding reception for my wife and me. She was right on time with the food & everything was hot. The food was delicious and looked great. It was quite a bit more food than we expected, so you don't need to worry about running short. I highly recommend chef Shawna! read more

Shawna, totally made our celebration complete, serving 2 gourmet dinners in the same number of days. Arriving on time, quality meat and ingredients to make a special evening a gourmet experience! Each night had a different decor theme. Very friendly and accommodating! She delivered exactly what was requested in a fashion we all so enjoyed. As my family parted, we all agreed, our next get away will have to be in Shawna's " service area" ! Thank you so much for an unforgettable memory, you are a "Gourmet Jewel" Candace read more

I helped as an assistant for a wedding and she is remarkable! I love her personality and the way she cooks! She made delicious chicken Marsala, parm mash potatoes, and assorted cooked veggies and it was so beautiful! She also made a beautiful wedding cake! read more

Best Mobile Chef - Her beautiful cake! - Personal Chefs Near Me - granger, Texas

An amazing woman owned business! From beginning to end, chef Shawna was amazing. She was easy to work with, responded quickly every time, worked with the food restrictions in our party, and pampered all 17 of us. Her prices are very reasonable and everyone in our party loved all the dishes! read more

She is awesome! Responded to unexpected requests on the fly (unexpected vegans, picky kids), and was so gracious and accommodating. I will definitely use Best Mobile Chef again- perhaps for a dinner. read more

Shawna was wonderful and treated our group of 11 to a nice steak dinner and the best chocolate cake I have ever had! They left the place spotless for us. If only I could have her over every weekend!!! Thank you Shawna! read more

Shawna is amazing all around! She was so kind and accommodating with menu preferences and with scheduling. Her food was delicious and the service was amazing. It was a huge delight to have her cooking in my home. She was efficient with cooking/cleanup and so warm and friendly throughout! read more

Chef Shawna and her assistant, Marilyn, were absolutely outstanding. Chef Shawna responded to my request within minutes and provided me with an amazing dinner menu that accommodated my meat eating and vegetarian friends. The food was so good, my guest could not stop talking about it for days. Shawna handled everything from appetizers, to main course, side dishes and dessert and cleaned up everything spotlessly. I could not have asked for a more professional, kind hearted, accommodating and talented chef as Shawna. I had a chance to watch her work in the kitchen and she is fun, passionate and thoughtful. Her cooking was some of the best I've had and her personality sealed the deal. I would definitely hire her again in a heart beat. Thank you for making my birthday so very special. read more

I'm not sure where to even start. We expected the food to be good, BUT every single dish has been outstanding. We hired Chef Shawna to make dinners for our family for a few weeks after having a new baby. While our kids aren't picky eaters, they're still kids! They ate every single meal and often asked for seconds. We are definitely incorporating her services in our regular dinners from now on. read more

I reached out to Shawna for the personal chef services as my husband and I both work full time, we have an infant, it's COVID time and we wanted some elevated meals that were really convenient. Things were a bit disorganized from the beginning - she had me confused with someone else, I would get a response to my email via text and vice versa, and then someone else was emailing and texting me as well. It was a toss up whether we got one or two sides. But the most frustrating part was that I had to remind her several times of our restrictions and preferences: we would get menus filled with things we didn't eat or something would show up and I'd have to pick out a vegetable I specifically asked not to have. We did get a menu every week, things were delivered on time if not early, Destiny was very nice and responses were quick so that was all appreciated. The food itself was...okay. Some items/meals were good, I was exposed to some new stuff I enjoyed, and the portions were HUGE. While I gave positive feedback as well, when asked for more flavor and spices overall (we got broccoli that was plain and maybe lightly steamed) or told her repeatedly the chicken was tough and overcooked, I got a defensive tone back. The worst was when we got extremely dry, inedible cornbread - I looked at the receipt and there was a PACKET OF CORNBREAD MIX on there! When I told her we would prefer that didn't happen again she asked if I meant the cornbread or using a mix! Should I have to ask that a personal "chef" not use a mix....for anything?? We did think that the price was quite low when we first signed on, but you get what you pay for. And that might be totally fine for some folks, but if what you're offering is home cooking/food assembly, then please advertise as such. We were looking for a true personal chef and premium service. I see that there are a lot of great reviews for catering. We tried it out for several weeks because she told me it took time to get the food profile down. She asked me questions so I continued to give feedback and make requests. But apparently my expectations (that food made by a "chef" be better than my own cooking) were too high and she told me I should continue my search elsewhere. Will do. read more

Chef shawna did a wonderful birthday surprise dinner for my wife and family. The food and experience was excellent! I highly recommend!

Shawna and Paulette are great! The fillet mignon it was out of this world. They were very professional and did a wonderful presentation and decorated the table they took very good care of us. Please don't hesitate to call these ladies the quality of food was wonderful and so were they. Thank you Shawna And Paulette for the wonderful evening's read more

Shawna was friendly, courteous, and prompt. The food was delicious! We had chicken Chardonnay, cheesy mashed potatoes, vegetables, salad, and rolls for 60 people. Everything was cooked well and not only enjoyed by the adults, but by the kids as well. She also made a chocolate cake which was delicious. Her pricing was good. I would definitely recommend her! read more

Shawna came to our beach house rental and prepared a fabulous birthday meal. One of the best meals we've ever had. Thanks Shawna!!

We reached out to Shawna last minute as our originally planned catering company canceled due to the pandemic. Shawna was super friendly, attentive and came up with a dinner that would accommodate the many dietary restrictions we had in our family. The food was delivered promptly on the desired day and Shawna organized the food for us - putting in oven, frig, freezer for us to enjoy later in the evening. The food was DELICIOUS! We were so happy that the portions were very generous as we had left overs the next couple days. Best Mobile Chef should definitely be the first pick anytime! read more

Shawna was absolutely incredible. We hired her for an entire week for our company retreat. She came in to cook for us for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had several people with dietary restrictions and she was so accommodating to everyone's needs. Also - she was so kind and a joy to have around our condo! I would 100% recommend her and hire her again :) read more

Our adult kids surprised us with a wonderful family dinner prepared by Chef Shawna. From appetizers to our 3 course plus dessert meal it was a perfect evening. Chef Shawna is professional and each dish amazing. We all agreed it was such a treat we will make a new Christmas tradition and treat ourselves every year with Chef Shawna's delightful creations. read more

Chef Shawna catered our wedding buffet for 62 people on May 6th 2017. She went out of her way to make our day special. Food- We had an idea of what we wanted, fancy picnic food, and she really ran with it. Fried Chicken, Tri Tip, Cedar Plank Smoked Salmon and Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms, a mixed greens salad with raspberries and vinegarette, Squash Trio and appetizers that my groom and I missed of course! Every person who ate the salmon asked about it, there's a strong chance it was the best salmon we'd ever had. I don't eat chicken, however getting anyone's attention after dinner was served was almost impossible if they had it, I'm pretty sure I saw grown men fighting over drumsticks and thighs. I cannot overstate the amount of compliments I heard about her fried chicken and smoked salmon. We had 62 people and everyone had enough to eat themselves halfway to a food coma without there being an excess left over. I think that was one of the more impressive things, working out the quantities so well. Service- Shawna communicated with me and answered all my questions leading up to the big day, as well as making some last minute tweaks to the menu to make everything flow better. She showed up on time and dinner was served when we'd asked with no interruptions from her or her (well dressed and mannered) staff. This was a huge help as I had to answer questions and wrangle other people throughout the day who had apparently forgotten our weeks of preparation. I ordered items from VG's bakery for our dessert bar then realized that no one would be able to set it out between the buffet and the time I wanted it open. Shawna stepped in and set up the table beautifully, all I had done was place the boxes and serving bowls/ canisters/ trays in the kitchen! If we lived closer we would absolutely use her services more often, personal chef, small parties, large events, I would even take classes from her if she offered. She is friendly, soft spoken and polite, yet professional, that is a hard combination to find. read more

We hired The Best Mobile Chef after a neighbor recommended them from a party she had recently attended catered by Chef Shawna. Since I do not live in the area I spoke to her over the phone & through messages and was able to arrange everything we needed. It was for a memorial for my Aunt who recently passed away and was an excellent chef herself. Shawna agreed to help recreate all the dishes my Aunt used to make for her annual holiday party. The menu we agreed on was for 11 entree dishes (appetizer size) & 6 dessert items (mini size). She was very easy to work with in pulling it all together during the planning and on the day. She had serving dishes but easily transferred things into dishes my Aunt used to help make the presentation more personal. All the dishes were delicious & we got lots of compliments! Her helpers were very professional and stayed on top of everything & they left the kitchen spotless. I highly recommend her & her staff! read more

I hired Chef Shawna to cook for our 31 person, week-long company retreat. From day 1 she was great to work with and responsive in handling my changes and requests. She came up with a detailed menu for each day and then we went through it together to make sure there were options for our gluten free, dairy free, and vegetarian eaters. She was very flexible with accommodating everyone and made sure there were not just options, but good options for each preference. The actual food was great! She was able to make delicious, substantial meals for 31 people and it all seemed easy! (I'm sure it wasn't, but you'd never know). Her prices were also very reasonable. I got bids from a few different caterers in the area and she was the most reasonable! More than anything, we just loved having Shawna around. We are a 100% remote company and our bi-annual retreats are important times for us to connect with each other. We were wary of having an outside person around all day every day, but Shawna did the perfect job of doing her own thing, but also interacting with us during meal times. She's an upbeat person who is very easy to work with and be around. I'd highly recommend hiring Shawna for your event, she's awesome! read more

This was an experience we wont forget Paulette and Shawna were amazing chefs. They cooked some amazing dishes for us two nights in a row !.There was 8of us at dinner..we all had a pleasant experience .I would honestly think of having them back for another special occasion.They were so nice and friendly while they cooked in our kitchen ,left everything spotless after dinner..Thank u Shawna and Paulette! read more

Chef Shawna and her assistant catered the rehearsal dinner for my son and his fiance's wedding near Temecula last weekend, and I have to say that she exceeded my expectations. She was very easy to work with and very helpful with deciding on what to serve. They were friendly and courteous, and on-time. The food itself was amazing! We chose the Beef Tri Tip, Chicken Marsala, Loaded Mashed Potatoes, and a delicious salad with dark greens, pecans, and champagne vinaigrette dressing. She even made vegetable lasagna for our vegetarians. She made sure that there was plenty to go around. Everything was delicious! The Beef trip tip was very tender and the flavor was superb! I also loved the Chicken Marsala. The chicken was cooked perfectly and the flavor was wonderful. We had many compliments from our guests and she took a lot of the stress out of hosting the rehearsal dinner. I would highly recommend her! read more
