My husband and I initially wanted another well-known BBQ Asian fusion restaurant to cater our…read morewedding and were pretty set on it. But after our guest list grew, we had to move locations and our venue was no longer within their catering vicinity. I searched high and low for different vendors that fit the fusion that we wanted, but couldn't find anything that fit just right (or that didn't break the bank). Then I somehow stumbled across Rebel Catering on Google. They had a wide variety of packages for food varying from Asian, to bbq, to Mexican. They didn't have a ton of reviews, and it seemed like they mostly did corporate events, but I gave them a call. I'll be honest, I was a bit apprehensive of how incredibly chill Rahul is at first (because I was already stressed out), but when I told him about our vision, he immediately checked with his chefs and created an incredible menu for us. My mom and mother in law's primary request was copycats of the other restaurant's corn fritters, and he even delivered on that. I'll attach a picture of the menu, but our minds were blown at the quality and freshness of the food. Buffet style brisket is HARD and he and his team crushed it. I even had friends with allergies and he accommodated them without question. The most popular part of the night though was the shaved ice. Part of Rebel Catering is their shaved ice package with alcoholic shaved ice (TABC bartender included). They had custom flavors to match our Asian fusion theme, and even brought their truck in to serve our guests! They also created a custom flavor named after our cat and created a sign with a cute cartoon of him. They also had tons of other drinks including sodas, jelly drinks, boba drinks, and energy drinks. TLDR: HIRE REBEL CATERING. Your guests will love you forever.

Found this gem on yelp, while out in Buda, looking for a place to eat…read more It's located on N Main St., next to several other shops and since we had Charlie, our Aussie tagging along, choosing a food truck with outdoor seating was a good option. It was a hot Texas summer morning, but we were comfortable enough to enjoy our meal under the shaded patio areas. Meat is sold by the pound, and we went with a Texas trio of brisket, pork ribs and jalapeño cheese sausage. The pork ribs were so tender, they slid off the bone and went straight into my mouth. Moist brisket was tasty and well, moist. Glancing over at the sausage and seeing it drip with cheese, made me want it even more. Adding the potato salad as a side was solid. The workers were friendly and even gave us the first taste of the new Carolina BBQ sauce for complementary. I recommend it becoming a staple for future customers.

If you're looking for comfort food that hits all the right notes, look no further than Let me…read morediscuss the King Ranch Chicken from The Daily Spread which I drive from New Braunfels every year at Christmas for. From the moment you take your first bite, it's clear that Stephanie, the owner of The Daily Spread, knows exactly what she's doing. The creamy, cheesy layers of chicken, tortillas, and a rich blend of flavors are perfectly balanced. The homemade ranch sauce adds just the right amount of tang, while the chicken is tender and perfectly seasoned. It's a nostalgic dish for my wife and I, yet elevated in a way that only someone with Stephanie's culinary expertise could pull off. What stands out the most, though, is the care and attention Stephanie pours into every dish. You can taste the love in the food, and it's why I make the drive every year. The King Ranch Chicken isn't just a meal; it's an experience--a comforting, satisfying one that you'll crave long after your plate is empty. If you haven't tried it yet, do yourself a favor and grab a serving next time you're in the area. It's a true testament to Stephanie's passion for cooking and her dedication to creating quality, comforting food.

Due to the holidays I was having a hard time getting response from several other caterers. Stephanie was all over it. Very responsive, and informative...even as she was about to be on vacation. On her return she reached out to finalize the details. Stephanie was there, personally, to make sure our event went off without a hitch. She showed up exactly on time everyday. The food was exactly as ordered and there was a lot of it. Was it good? Day one, all the main dishes were gone and when there were extras I had people taking to-go plates at the end of the day. I think we hit all the challenges, vegetarian, gluten free, I don't like pork so I want other options, I hate mushrooms. Stephanie was there to help. Everyday was a different offering and variety was a key factor. When we come back to Austin, you can bet Daily Spread will be the first call we make.

The guests loved the spread so much. A definite hit. Constant communication from start to finish. From getting the quote (very fair), making last-minute changes, to arrival day of the event was seamless. I needed the crew to arrive at noon, they arrived at 11:45 a.m. Fantastic! Professional, talented, pleasant, and efficient crew. They had us set up in under thirty minutes. I can't thank Urban Cowboy enough for the care they took to ensure our event was successful.

At the end of the day it was most definitely worth having Kevin and his team catering and bartending. Our daughter graduates in 2 years and will definitely call Kevin and his staff again!!!

I submitted a request on Monday, Jon told me that they were booked but could arrange a drop off and asked for a good time to speak on the phone. We spoke on Tuesday, and although he could not offer what he originally mentioned (appetizers, buffet etc), I was thankful and more than happy to accept the grazing table option. He stated that he would send me an estimate Wednesday. I received an estimate on Wednesday at 10:20 pm, which I accepted. This morning (Thursday), Jon replied that he would confirm everything with his chef and send me an invoice later. At 8:20 pm this evening, I got an email saying that Food Addiction would not be able to accommodate my event. I completely understand the last minute nature of my request but this company should've either turned me down immediately, or at least communicated this earlier in the day (phone call would've been nice). All of the other businesses Jon suggested were already closed for the day. In our communications, Jon tells me that I'm the very first person that their company has cancelled on. With only 3 reviews, I find that very hard to believe. I recommend considering an established local company with better business practices and communication for your event and avoiding Food Addiction at all costs.
