Best food ever

The food was AMAZING!!! Every guest was raving about the food. We have mini chicken and waffles and but deviled eggs for cocktail hour. We have honey brined chicken, beef short ribs, white cheddar Mac and cheese, and crispy potatoes!! They also made our pie for our pie cutting and mini pies!! The staff was so friendly and helpful! They made everything perfect!! They even packed us Togo boxes with leftovers for me and my husband to enjoy after the wedding! We heated them up on our honeymoon and they were still just as good!

A MUST for your wedding!

We hired Rocky Top catering for our wedding and could not sing higher praises! Responses from guests included "the best salmon I've ever had" and "incredible short rib that was smoked to perfection". We're not used to wedding food being just this good! Throughout the process they were remarkably responsive, helpful with any and all modification requests up until even the last week, and were incredibly attentive throughout the entire wedding day.

Highly Recommend

So happy we chose Rocky Top for our wedding caterer! Kevin was amazing to work with throughout the process and incredibly responsive to all our questions and changes! The food was amazing and we had several people during and after the wedding say it was the best tuna steak they have ever had! Loved our dessert selection as well via them! Definitely recommend a selection of mini desserts over a cake.
