I hired Rio Brazos Cuisine from Waco to cater my client appreciation day at the Moon River Ranch…read more We had informed them there were going to be about 42 people the first day and 135 people to serve the second day. They were to provide meals for Friday night dinner, Saturday lunch, and Saturday evening dinner. Here is how it went. Due to weather storms our attendance was reduced significantly, Friday evening we only had 13 in one area and 29 in the other. They did not provide enough food to feed the group and was short with the amount provided. When I spoke to the staff they immediately called the owner and yes they later show up with more food. By then it was too late, most people had left the dining area and went away hungry... Saturday for lunch they were to feed 135 people. due to weather we had a total of 82 people at the event. We provided our own Taco bar and had we not done this we would have ran out of food about half way into service. Our taco bar never ran out of food, however Rio did run out of some of the food during the service. Saturday evening there were only about 75 people to serve, again we planned on 120, they ran out of food half way into service. I did not get to eat nor did my wife due to NO FOOD. So a large number of people did not even get to eat due to once again not enough food. Today when I spoke to the owner "Ms. Jonya Williams, to let her know I was disappointed with the amount of food she provided. She informed me that we did not tell her that there were going to be adult men at the event and that there should have been food left over. I informed her that we paid for 120 people and she did not even provide enough food for the 75. How do you underestimate that much. I have been in food service in the past and had never ran out of food when catering an event. You always over plan so you don't run out of food. I feel for $4,000 plus, yes I said $4,000 plus we were ripped off and while speaking to Ms. Jonya Williams, the owner she never once provided suggestion to make things right. All she would say is was the amount of time she has been in business and that everything was our fault. My suggestion is that if you want a company to feed your people and have everyone actually get to eat I WOULD NOT SUGGEST Rio Brazos Catering from Waco, TX. P.S. her excuse for charging so much is they claim to make everything from scratch. The pasta was store bought, the finger food may have been hand made. I always thought I would get what I paid for. Not in this case I got nothing that I expected for what I paid for. I expected everyone to be fed and not be hungry in the end. Her staff was great and did an awesome job and we were happy with them.

Jonya and her staff were beyond awesome catering the rehearsal dinner for our son and his bride…read more The planning was done through phone calls and emails as we live in Michigan. Jonya was always responsive and put us at ease. The fajita dinner was delicious and professionally served. The staff were exceptionally friendly but unobtrusive. We would definitely recommend Rio Brazos! Lee and Michele Carlson

This review is based solely on the deer processing that ERS offers. I have had several items that…read morethey have prepared over the past few years. From Hot Links (my personal favorite) to link sausage with and without cheese & jalapeños, summer sausage, and snack sticks, it has all been really good. You can bring them a deer quartered or already boned-out. If you want them to "muscle-out" your steaks, make sure you tell them. If you are clear in what you want, they will meet your needs. As any deer hunter knows, you don't just randomly choose who processes your deer meat. Having a taste of what someone else has had made is always the best option. Word of mouth is the second best option. Consider this review your word of mouth - Eddie Ray's does excellent work. I highly recommend them. Bottom line - Excellent deer processing with great tasting results. You can't go wrong with Eddie Ray's. Bon appétit, y'all.
