    Large Menu (Great for Dietary Restrictions!)

    EAT Catering was great to work with for our wedding! From the initial planning stages to the big day itself, they were fantastic. We were immediately impressed by their fair pricing, especially considering the high quality of the food and service. They were also incredibly accommodating with dietary restrictions, offering a variety of options that were clearly displayed and easy for our guests to identify. The waitstaff was consistently friendly, professional, and attentive throughout the entire reception, ensuring everyone had a wonderful experience. One of the things we appreciated most was their guidance during the menu selection process. They helped us thoughtfully pair down the number of options we initially chose, offering valuable insights based on our guest count...

    yum yum yum! delicious

    We chose Eat Kitchen and Catering for our wedding day and couldn't have been happier with the services and food they provided. They went above and beyond our expectations. Not only was the food delicious, the staff made sure we (the bride and groom) got to taste every last bit of the food, and approached us with drinks throughout the night. I actually used to cater weddings myself and I spent some extra time towards the end of the night thanking the staff and chatting with them. They told me not many brides go out of their way to do that. Which makes me so sad because the staff was such an important part of our big day. If...

    Great Value and Product, but responsiveness with staff leaves something to be desired

    I will make this clear, if you can get EAT Catering signed for your wedding, I'm sure you'll have a great experience that is reasonably priced and of good quality.

    However, this is not the experience my wife and I had. Our tasting went well, the staff was friendly and the food was fantastic. However, we didn't think twice about not having gotten a physical contract with them. As we continued wedding planning, my wife sent them an email roughly two months before our wedding to confirm details. Sadly, this is when we found out that a spot they normally kept reserved for our venue (As a preferred vendor) was given to another wedding. We were devastated...

    Great catering team!!

    EAT catering was great to work with for our wedding day. We had a lovely tasting in advance & had various selections for our wedding day food. Our cocktail hour foods and dinner was amazing and we heard tons of compliments. Creamy herb chicken, potatoes & green beans are definitely recommended as well as the rosemary and garlic pork loin. Chicken salad crosswinds were also delicious for our cocktail hour.

    Beer and wine was good. The cocktails could’ve been better as we heard they were not great- but overall was worth it to have the good food on our wedding day!

    Sheila is great to work with & we’d recommend them to anyone getting married in the Richmond, Powhatan VA area!

    Best Value, Best Caterer! 100% Recommend!

    My husband, family, friends, and I are still talking about how amazing EAT Catering was at our wedding. From the food to the service, they are 10 out of 10. In addition to passed appetizers, we did a buffet style dinner, mac & cheese bar, and a plated salad to start, and it couldn’t have worked out better. Cocktail hour and dinner went so smoothly, and everyone loved the food. We had a couple people tell us they kept going up for more! The process from the initial tasting, to booking to final decisions to wedding day was so easy. I worked with Sheila mostly, and she was a pleasure to correspond with and always had a smile on...

    Absolutely Amazing!

    We booked EAT Catering for our wedding and loved them! The food is amazing and the team of people are so so sweet and caring. Shelia and her team will make you feel so special and we loved the picnic basket they packed for us to take home after the wedding. Shelia was there to answer any and all questions we had throughout the whole process. We did a Buffett for our catering and the food was hot from the first person being served all the way to the last! The steak and chicken were cooked perfectly and we keep receiving compliments from our guest about how great all of it tasted!

    Sheila is the Best!

    From the initial tasting to the final plate of food served at the wedding, Sheila and her staff at EAT Catering were nothing short of AMAZING! We cannot recommend them enough! They were greatly accommodating to any dietary restriction we had, and the friendliness and professionalism of the serving staff rivals top tier restaurants. If you are considering using EAT Catering for your wedding, DO IT!

    Great Food Great Service

    We hired EAT Catering based off of recommendations from the venue where my daughter was having her wedding. They did not disappoint! We had about 200 guests with passed appetizers, a plated salad and buffet meal of salmon and petit filet with sides of mashed potatoes and mixed veggies - it was exceptional. Everyone talked about how tender and well-seasoned the food was. The mini crab cakes are definitely worth the price and were a big hit! Don't forget the dinner rolls - they were amazing! The staff was very attentive and friendly and went out of their way to make sure everything was taken care of. If your guest count is around the size of ours do the...

    A wonderful wedding dinner

    We used EAT catering for our wedding, and everything was fantastic from start to finish. The tasting was absolutely wonderful, and it was hard to choose which foods we wanted for the wedding because they were all so good!!! We ended up getting the bruschetta, ham and apple butter biscuits, and steak skewers for our cocktail hour, and they were a hit! Everyone loved them. We did the bbq buffet for the main meal, which was absolutely delicious as well. The servers and bartenders were very professional and friendly. They even sent me and my husband home with leftovers that we enjoyed in our hotel that evening. I highly recommend EAT catering!

    Best food ever!

    EAT catering has the best food ever! I have a pretty bad seafood allergy and they were so considerate and accommodating to it. Bartending services were also so great by them!

    EAT Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much, Lauren! We were more than happy to accommodate your allergy and are so glad you enjoyed the food and bartending services. We appreciate your support and kind words!

    Good Food and Easy to Work With

    We hired EAT Catering because we knew that they would be so easy to work with based on our initial inquiry. It was a huge bonus that their food was also amazing. Many people told us how much they loved our appetizers. All of the staff (servers, bartender, and catering manager) was lovely to work with.

    EAT Catering's reply:

    Thank you so much, Emily, for the rave review! We were so honored to be a part of your special day and are happy that everyone enjoyed the food and service. Congratulations!

    BEST caterer in RVA

    EAT catering catered our wedding last month, January 2022, and Sheila and her team were perfect.

    The servers and bartenders were impeccable, and the food was delicious. From the beginning, Sheila made everything so easy for us.

    I love that EAT has SO MANY food options and serving styles, and that you can handle all of your linen and serve ware needs right in one place. We got everything food and drink related from EAT, and it was worth every penny because they made it such a breeze. They provided appetizers for cocktail hour, allowed us to serve dinner at the tables family style (which I have never seen before at a wedding), did a hot chocolate...

    We loved EAT Catering!

    EAT catered our December wedding rehearsal dinner and reception and we are so glad we chose them!! It was a seamless process from the beginning taste test through the last dish cleaned up on our wedding night. Sheila, the catering director, answered many of my questions and made sure all the details were in place. Rachel attended both our rehearsal dinner and wedding reception and did a great job on food and bartending. The servers were prompt and so sweet. Everything went off without a hitch! We chose the barbecue package for our rehearsal and the herb roasted chicken/petite tenderloin for our reception and our guests raved on the food - it was absolutely delicious! Thank you EAT Catering!

    Plant-based options? Yes please!

    With me being vegan, it was a struggle at first trying to find a company that could cater to both mine and my husbands palette (as he loves his meat) - but EAT went above and beyond any expectations we had! They made two of our sides vegan and even took it a step further and provided a fully vegan meal for a few of my guests. One of the guests was in awe as she stated to me that she’s never been to a wedding with a vegan option before! All of the food was talked about for days after the wedding - everyone thought it was incredibly delicious!

    EAT Catering's reply:

    Thank you, Lexie, for this positive review! We were so happy to have been able to prepare food that you, your husband, and all of your guests could eat. Congratulations to you and your husband on a beautiful wedding and marriage!

    Great Experience

    We had a wonderful experience using EAT catering for our daughter’s wedding! The food was delicious! Sheila readily responded to my email questions. The service the day of the wedding was excellent. One of the staff members even assisted with getting my elderly mother in and out of the car. I highly recommend EAT catering for your next event!

    Thank you so much, Catherine! We are so happy to hear that our food was delicious and that the service was excellent. We loved working with you and your daughter and were honored to be a part of her special day. Congratulations to the happy couple!

    Absolutely divine!

    Your guests will be raving about EAT Catering long after your events. Shelia and her team were extremely helpful and we had such a good time at our tasting. During our wedding, the servers made sure my new husband and I got food and drink during our pictures and had a plate full of food ready as we walked into our reception. They made sure our glasses were full and "catered" to our every need. 10/10 would recommend this local catering to any event!!

    Wonderful!

    EAT allowed us to work with the team to create a custom menu that catered to our family traditions, dietary restrictions, and specific foods that were desired but we were unable to find anywhere else. Everything was executed with perfection and everyone raved about all of the delicious food! EAT also provided our bartenders that were personable and friendly with all of our guests. The whole team at EAT was wonderful to work with!

    Great Food!

    EAT Catering catered the food for our wedding and it was absolutely fantastic! Rob is great to work with. He’s super friendly, knowledgeable & organized.

    I can’t say enough great things about the food, it was so incredibly good. We did a taco bar and EAT knocked it out of the park. By far some of the best food I’ve had, and all the guests loved it!

    Rob and the entire EAT Catering team were SO incredibly excellent. Rob took a simple request I had and made it into more than I could EVER imagine. My husband and I wanted brisket and tacos -- Rob created some of the best brisket I've EVER had (and I'm from Texas, y'all so I know good brisket) with delicious homemade barbecue sauces to enjoy as well.

    The taco bar included so many different options (chicken, fish, pork) with toppings (pico, salsa varieties, corn salsa, cheese, sour cream, guac, etc.). And the mac and cheese. Oh. My. Word. I will never, ever, ever eat mac and cheese as good as EAT. Ever.

    The staff was incredibly...

    Eat Catering is an amazing company with fantastic service and an individualized approach to their clients. I can't comment enough on how fortunate I was to find them. The staff was personable and pleasant, going out of their way for my guests and myself at every turn. Their rates were reasonable and they offered linen and china rentals. They are a small company but their food and service could rival any big name I could find. They truly made my wedding!
