We are so thankful to the team at Groovin Gourmets for doing a wonderful job with our wedding…read morecatering (and venue setup!). Everyone we spoke to (venues, coordinators, etc.) recommended Groovin, and as soon as we reached out we understood why - from the very beginning they were incredibly responsive, and happy to answer our many (many) questions. Kaylyn made the planning process easy, helping us to develop a staffing plan to help with the set-up of our venue (The Workshop by T&D, which was also great). Groovin staff came the day before to set up ceremony chairs and then immediately after the ceremony efficiently moved all the chairs to the other side of the venue for dinner. They helped us coordinate rentals with Party Perfect and had all the right answers (and questions) during our on-site venue walkthrough. As for the food itself, everything was delicious! People always tell you that you won't eat at your own wedding, but the food was so good that we sat and ate our entire plates. Guests raved and two friends told us that they even came up with targeted strategies to chase down their favorite hors d'oeuvre when they came out. We especially recommend the pork belly hors d'oeuvre and the szechuan salmon entree. From start to finish, Groovin' was efficient and professional, and we would highly recommend them for any event.

All of the caterers in the area have delicious food and Groovin' provided nothing less than exceptional, but it was their customer service that sets them head and shoulders above the rest. During our tasting, we enjoyed complimentary champagne upon arrival after we parked in our reserved and personalized parking space out front. The table was set beautifully, and dishes were presented exactly as they would be on Wedding Day. We were impressed from the jump, and our love of Groovin only grew once we tried the delicious foods! Throughout the process, Michelle was responsive to my MANY emails and questions, and on wedding day, all of our guests were impressed with the professionalism, kindness, outstanding service, and DELICIOUS food! My friends continue to rave about the hot honey chicken biscuits!

The ease of the online ordering, the courtesy call after taking too long to pick up our order, the kindness and friendliness of the owners, the BOMB and INCREDIBLE food - all around an unforgettable experience. That brisket in the Southern Reuban and Philly is something special. Perfectly smokey and flavorful. Such a creative balance of ingredients. The homemade chips were really good as well. Also, there aren't many places in the RVA area where you can get smoked wings. Definitely a new addition to my restaurant faves.

I'm going to be honest, as we walked up I said, "this is either going to be awesome because every single review is 5 stars, or these people asked their friends to write the reviews because honestly... who has ever seen a place with a perfect 5.0???" Well we went for lunch, but got a whole experience instead. We were greeted at the door by Scott, one of the amazing owners, who walked us through the menu and gave us a little back story on the fresh made food and their beverage selection. We then met the other owner, Mike, who was just was wonderful as Scott. They are seriously two of the nicest people I've ever met. When I told them I don't like hotdogs, they said I needed to try one of their angus beef hotdogs. So they grilled one up and brought it to us to try. They weren't wrong... it was a darn good dog! Then our food came out and it was fantastic! We had the tots with cheese and brisket, the Havana, and the Cape Town with brisket. Everything was delicious. Another thing they did that was just a step above every other place I've been is that when we told them we would be sharing, they divided the food into thirds so we all had everything on our own plates. Service, food, experience 10/10. I feel like we were treated like family. Maybe better. What more could you possibly want? We were like, "okay now we understand the reviews!" Go check this place out. Bring your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers. Tell your family. I promise you won't regret it. Just go!
