Catering By Design catered a family reunion for me in Cary. The food was outstanding and I am a very difficult person to please! Michelle set up the entire buffet with disposable chafing dishes and sterno and everything stayed warm and delicious. Our menu was a 5 star Greek salad with strawberries and feta, grilled vegetables, penne with red peppers and basil cream sauce, mashed red skin potatoes and rolled chicken breast stuffed with mushrooms in a cream sauce. I would highly recommend every dish we had. read more

We used catering by design to provide food for a graduation party. We had 45 people attend, and ordered food for 40 people we ordered a combination of appetizers and entrées. We ordered the slider bar, chicken parmesan, fresh fruit, Tuscan breads and spreads, and buffalo chicken dip. Cristina brought the food to our home. We ordered the 'nice set up' which included linens and finer serving dishes, and I would highly recommend this! The food was really good, and super generous portions. We had tons of leftovers. The food was set up in less than 30 minutes, and then the team returned the next morning to pick up all of the dishes. It was super easy and made the event stress-free. I would highly recommend using this caterer for your event. read more

They did an amazing job for our Christmas party. They came out and set up everything for us and were prompt with the service. We tried the chicken breast with bacon and gouda, almondine green beans, red potatoes and the assorted baked cheesecakes. We will definitely be using them again! read more

I hosted a small surprise party for my husband's 40th birthday and hired Catering by Design to cater the event. I knew I didn't want a full meal, so I ordered the hors d'oeuvres buffet. It was SO good. Everyone that ate mentioned how great the food tasted! Amy came over and set up everything for us at the exact time and she did a fantastic job making it look good. I would definitely hire them again for catering big and small! read more

Mendy and her crew have done a phenomenal job on multiple occasions catering for our practice. She put together a menu that the staff are still raving about 6 months later. Everything was punctual, perfect for social distancing, delicious and beautiful. Will definitely use again and again. She has done weddings for people in our practice who will not use anyone else. Thanks Catering by Design. Karen M. read more

I was tasked with planning our company holiday party for around 200 people and catering is often one of the most challenging things to handle. Luckily, I found Catering by Design and now I'm never letting them go! The biggest impression they made was just how easy everything was. From the beginning, they made figuring out the menu so simple. Other caterers were so confusing with their options, prices, tiers, combos, it was so stressful. But with CBD, everything was so organized, the prices were clear and they were so helpful and responsive with any last minute changes we wanted. At the event, setup was a breeze. They arrived early and were ready to go well ahead of time, and were very communicative during the whole event, making sure everyone had a chance to eat and no one left hungry. The food was absolutely fantastic, every single dish was delicious and I received compliments nonstop from our employees and staff. When it was time to pack up, they didn't leave a a single crumb behind! They were so efficient, professional and friendly and simply everything was flawless! I truly could not have asked for a better caterer and I look forward to having them at every single company event moving forward! read more

We purchased an Italian Buffet Tasting Meal for two. Everything was delicious. We will use this company for our upcoming family dinner.

Did a great job catering for a business meeting. Brought disposable everything, came on time, and was quick to respond. Will utilize again for my business meetings of ~20 people. Very reasonable cost as well. read more

We had a small, last minute reception to celebrate the life of our late aunt with family and friends. I gave them less than a 48hr notice and Kelli was able to accommodate our party. Ronnie setup the event and he was such a gentleman,super responsive and helpful. He cleaned up after the event and packaged all the leftover food for us. The food was delicious and the setup was also very nice. I certainly appreciated dealing with them and would definitely recommend to friends and family. read more

The food was amazing and Steven's hospitality was phenomenal. Everyone raved about everything. We are so grateful for Steven bringing the party to us and doing such a great job. He is truly amazing!!! read more

I submitted a request online for a quote. I was having a small party of about 15 people. It took a day for them to get back with me. The emails were not very friendly. They were just to the point questions. After answering all of the questions I was told that it would be $500 minimum because it was a Sunday and they had no other orders that day. I had put the estimated amount that I wanted to spend in my original request. I feel like Kelli could have told me from the beginning that they could not meet my budget. I also find it ridiculous that because they have no other orders there is a $500 minimum. Since they have no orders that day you'd think they would at least want to make some money. I will never ask for their services again and I will not recommend them. I'm sorry I was unable to taste their food because from the other reviews it looks like I missed out. read more

Another successful event in the books thanks to Catering By Design. This is the second party we have had catered and they did not disappoint. The food was outstanding and the service was excellent! Kelli was wonderful to work with. Highly recommend! read more

Greg Lewis, the Executive Chef of Catering by Design provides great catering service as well as monthly wine tasting dinners.

These guys catered our wedding reception and it was fantastic. Not only was the food very good, the serving staff was amazing. People were always telling us we wouldn't be able to eat and everyone would be trying to talk to us the whole time...well, when we arrived at the reception, food was already waiting for us so we didn't have to go serve ourselves. That might have been our coordinator but they did it for us. The staff stopped by to ask us if we needed anything at all a diligent amount of times (it wasn't too much either) and it was just an overall good experience. I recommend them highly. read more

Outstanding food and service. I hired Catering by Design to cater a baby shower. The food was excellent, the price was reasonable. The staff was attentive and a pleasure to work with. From the initial booking of the party to the last minute details, everything was fantastic! read more

Not very Good! Our community used Catering By Design to cater our Super Bowl Party. $15 was charged per person and the food was quite poor. In fact, their is a petition (so far 80 folks) being sent throughout our community to request our HOA to stop using these folks because of the inferior quality. Anyway, Catering - By - Design provided FRU FRU Football appetizers that upset any football fan. Our $15 Dinner was some old crab dip, a plate of cheese, vegetables, dried out biscuits, and some cookies for dessert. What a croc... read more

I have had both business and social events catered by Catering by Design. There food and service is first class. I highly recommend them. In the interest of full disclosure, they have been a long time client of mine...I have found the owner, Greg Lewis to have outstanding integrity. read more

We had a fantastic experience using "Catering by Design" for our daughter's wedding. We highly recommend them.

Well made Italian lunch for a catered office lunch and learn. The Chicken Parmesan and Four cheese baked ziti were not dry, like most catered pasta/chicken dishes. The vegetables were light and salad fresh. Desserts of lemon squares and cannolis went over well. Would have been nice to have a dairy free option, but I'm sure they would modify if asked. Well eaten by staff! read more

I was having a surprise birthday party for my wife at a friends house. I needed everything taken care of at the house so there was no work for my friends to do at their house before, during and after the party. Step 1. We wanted a menu of apps that were heavy enough but not dinner. Mendy supplied us with a long list of possibilities and helped us pick the right ones from a large variety they have on their menu. Step 2. The set up was completed after a visit to the house prior to the party with input from the homeowner. The food looked great on the display and was absolutely outstanding with compliments from ALL the attendees. Step 3 At the end of the evening the house was spotless, the leftovers were neatly wrapped and boxed and the homeowner was required to do nothing! Step 4 Catering by Design provided great input, great food and great service and delivered on 150%. Highly recommend! read more

Had an excellent experience tonight at a business function catered by Catering By Design. Excellent food and professional staff. Highly recommend! read more

What a fantastic experience!!!!!!! Catering By Design's people, food, presentation, professionalism, and service EXCEEDED MY EVERY EXPECTATION. There is no way I could have asked for more from a professional catering service than what was provided for my daughter's wedding. Thank you. Catering By Design is a PROFESSIONAL catering service that actually listens to the client's desires and does whatever it takes to meet those needs. They are wonderful to work with! read more

I recently hired Catering by Design for my husband's 60th birthday party at our home. James was our server and he had the buffet set up, waited on our guest and packed up all leftovers for me and cleaned up all in the amount alotted. My guest all commented on the quality of the food- I had many cooks present- some professional. I would not hestitate to hire them again. read more

We hired Catering by a Design for our wedding rehearsal dinner and our wedding reception. The selection of food was wonderful and the fact that we got to go to a tasting was great. They set up the buffet for the rehearsal dinner so nicely and it was a big hit with our family and friends. The reception food was delivered and set up so beautifully. Everyone commented on how delicious it was. We would certainly and wholeheartedly recommend them and will use them again. read more

I researched 18 (!) caterers before choosing Catering by Design for my son's wedding rehearsal dinner. In a world where business finds customer care and quality to be too costly, Catering by Design showed me that, at least at CBD, customer care and quality is still very much alive! I can only rave about how wonderful everything was! Not only did the CBD Team provide the service that should be expected, they went well above and beyond! I am so appreciative of their professionalism, warm personalities, and their extra efforts in taking such great care of my special night for my son and daughter-in-law! I felt like I was one of the guests that I was hosting! They literally MADE the evening so beautifully memorable!!! The prices were reasonable, the food delicious (with the mac & cheese condiment bar being an especially big hit) and the staff extraordinarily exceptional. I will be enthusiastically recommending Catering by Design to anyone and everyone I can and I will never have to do research for a caterer again as I have found the one that I will always go to for future events I may need to plan. read more

Outstanding!!! I can't say enough great things about Catering by Design. I was looking for a caterer for a Branch Leader's Meeting that we were having in our corporate office here in Raleigh. I booked them for lunch on a Tuesday and Wednesday and I was also having them all out to dinner at my home on Tuesday night. I was so pleased with the first meal we received for lunch on Tuesday. We ordered barbecue and barbecue chicken and fixings with banana pudding for dessert. Everyone loved the entire meal! For the dinner at my house, we had roast beef, rotisserie chicken, salad, mashed potatoes and vegetables and strawberry shortcake for dessert. Again, it was a huge hit with everyone, in fact they were all asking what we were going to be having for lunch on Wednesday as they were going out our front door! I had ordered the Fajita Bar with cheesecake for the lunch on Wednesday. We have these meetings 3 or 4 times a year and they have ALL asked/insisted that we have Catering by Design provide all our future meals. Their prices are so very reasonable and the food is so delicious!!! We will be a regular customer! read more

We began using Catering by Design for our meetings and conferences at work last year. Their prices are comparable to all delivery options but their food is 100% better. Their corporate lunch menu options are varied enough to feed a picky group every day for weeks. We have probably used them for group lunches 100 times and every time has been on time and the same high level of quality. I even ordered from them for a private party that we had recently on a weekend and again we had the same high level of quality and service. Everyone loves their food. I recommend them completely. read more

Greg and his team (Chris & Chris) at 'Catering by Design' were amazing! I had to plan my wedding from another state and Greg was more than willing to meet with me every time I was in town to make sure every question was answered and every detail was covered. They provided everything from the food to the rentals, dinnerware, and linens and every bit of it was perfection. Everything they did was beautiful, the food was DELICIOUS and I couldn't have asked for a better setup. They met all of my expectations and my family and I are more than pleased with their services. read more

I recently had a surprise birthday party for my wife over the weekend with close to 40 people attending. From beginning to end during the whole process from selecting the menu through the entire event, Catering by Design we're terrific! They handled our group with no issues and with complete professionalism. Meghan and Johnnie we're our staff for the evening and they we're exceptional and always with a smile on their face! I highly recommend Catering by Design for your next party, wedding or event. read more

Greg Lewis and his staff catered my daughter's wedding last weekend. It was above and beyond what we dreamed of and the food was superb! From planning six months ago until the event day Greg was an unbelievably easy person to work with, as well as his staff, and they made the catered affair for 240 people look effortless. Not a detail was overlooked and they ran it beautifully. My daughter said it was the best day ever and it really was! Thanks Greg! read more

They were easy to work with, flexible, and experienced. Organizing the event was stress free and we had an opportunity to taste the food before deciding on a menu. We liked that everything was taken care of (plates, napkins, bartending, clean-up, food service) with one vendor. Their service at the event was phenomenal and everyone commented on how kind and tentative the bartenders and service staff were. They went above and beyond to make the event fantastic. read more

Absolutely fabulous experience for our daughter's wedding. Food was fantastic. Servers were amazing & attentive. I could not ask for anything more. We had a southern menu & they nailed it. I highly recommend the white mac & cheese. I could've eaten the whole thing by myself! We live in SC & the staff was wonderful about minor changes to the menu or rentals. Oh yes, they even took care of the rentals too. I didn't have to worry about a thing. read more

Catering by Design catered our daughter's wedding and we couldn't have been happier with them! We had a certain budget we wanted to stay within, and they were able to give us everything we wanted. Because our daughter and future husband were out of town, we had our first tasting without them and actually booked that day. When the couple was in town, Catering by Design was gracious in providing a second tasting for them (and they loved it as much as we did). The food was so delicious at the wedding that there were many guests who went up for seconds (and thirds!), and we got a lot of compliments on both the food and the service. Everyone there is absolutely wonderful to work with - Kelli was fantastic helping us with the planning, and the servers the day of the wedding were professional, attentive and top-notch (plus very nice!). I highly recommend them! read more
