I ordered Carolyn's Creole Kitchen for a going-away work event and she made it SO easy. Communication was great and food was amazing! This is the menu that we created together. I really appreciate that she didn't try to oversell us, she was great at estimating how much we would need and wanted to get us the right amount and stay within budget. - Boudin Sausage Bites - Creole-Seasoned Grilled Chicken Kabobs - Cucumber and Cherry Tomatoes Kabobs, Drizzled with Balsamic Vinaigrette - Vegetarian Quesadillas - Vegetarian Hush Puppies (subbed for cornbread pancakes) There were rave reviews on the Boudin balls, for sure. Delivery was on time and they took care and pride in setting up and communicating with us about the food items. They also gave us an extra little something (in Creole, they say "Lagniappe") of a tub of cookies, which was extremely kind. Carolyn told us when she got there that the hush puppies were not up to her standard so she did not bring them. She switched us to the cornbread pancakes instead. We appreciated that! We will definitely be ordering through her again!

Carolyn is amazing and so is her food! We worked with her for an event to provide 1,000 meals to local non-profits, and everyone was talking about how good the food was and that they felt full and happy after eating. The chicken & sausage gumbo and the screamin' mac & cheese were DELICIOUS, as well as the veggie rice which was so flavorful. Carolyn was able to spread love and light through her delicious food. Next time you need catering, work with Carolyn!

Ms. Carolyn and her wonderful team has catered 2 significant events for my family - my father's home going celebration and my nana's 100th birthday celebration. Her food has hit the spot on both occasions. Ms. Carolyn and her team are awesome to work with, and they do their best to accommodate - Ex. Food allergies. We will be using her services again!

Steak and Maine Lobster kabob, deviled eggs and DELICIOUS salad! Tasted as great as it looks! You better catch her!

If you see a posting for an event GO! shes at RIGGERS LOFT WINERY in Richmond for pop up dinner sales. Chicken gumbo, seafood gumbo, meatloaf make u wanna slap myself cuz I shared! Wings and deviled eggs and mac n cheese and EVERYTHING!!! ORDER, EAT & ITUS....in that order!

Wish I took more pics that day. But here are the deviled eggs!

Carolyn catered for our department's year end celebration at Rigger's Loft in Richmond. She is such a pleasure to work with and was always very responsive to my questions, concerns, and asks for suggestions. We did many iterations to the menu and she was accommodating for our guests with dietary restrictions. She is very familiar with that venue, as she has done many other events there before. Carolyn and her staff arrived to the venue early to prep. Now let's get to the important stuff - the food! We enjoyed the deviled eggs, shrimp mojo shrimp sliders, the roasted vegetables, and most definitely the chicken flings! The chicken flings were by far the most popular item. They arrived fresh and hot with each batch. At the end of the night, she also packed up leftover foods for us. I'd recommend Carolyn if you are looking for a reliable caterer who can deliver on tasty food items. As someone on the planning end, she made my life a lot easier and nothing makes me happier as a planner than when people appreciate and enjoy food choices that were made. Thanks much Carolyn!

Just a couple pictures of my happy team members and the outstanding food!

Havana catered our baby shower. We ordered lechon, plantain crusted chicken, mac n cheese, corn…read moresaute and the mango spinach salad. Everything was delicious. It fed our crowd to satisfaction with plenty of leftovers! They delivered on time. Communication with staff was professional. They provide consistent high quality service and hard to beat prices. Highly recommend!

I used Havana Catering for the first time for my baby shower this past weekend and had a really…read moregreat experience. I had heard of them before because a friend used them for their wedding, and since I plan events for a living, I've worked with a lot of caterers. For my own event though, price mattered a lot, but I still wanted really good food. After reaching out to a bunch of places, I went with Havana because I had tried their food before and their pricing was very reasonable. We ordered full trays of adobo chicken, lechon roasted pork, crispy tofu, paella, sofrito rice, black beans, corn, poblano mac and cheese, and plantains. I did bring in one dish from another restaurant, Jamaican oxtail, just because I know my guests are big foodies. The biggest hits from Havana were definitely the poblano mac and cheese, lechon, and the paella. Honestly, the mac and cheese was the standout. Everyone kept going back for it and I wish I had ordered an extra tray. What really stood out to me though was the delivery experience. The driver called me ahead of time, brought everything in, and set it all up. He opened the trays with gloves, added sauces, arranged everything nicely, and even put out utensils and labels. I've had plenty of catering deliveries before and this was easily one of the best. He was just genuinely kind and went above and beyond, and it made a big difference. Overall, everything went smoothly, the food was great, and I would definitely order from them again.
