    Excellent food and service!

    We hired Anthony's for our wedding and couldn't have been happier with our decision. Rob was very detailed with every response during the planning process and made sure we had exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Rob and his staff made sure all the guests were cared for and were served at the highest of standards. The food and service were exceptional and every detail was nothing short of perfect. Would highly recommend Anthony's Catering for any event!

    Delicious food and great staff to work with!

    We used Anthony's catering services for our recent reception and they were amazing! We had a taco station and a chocolate fountain present, the food was incredible. Our guests repeatedly told us how much they enjoyed their dinners. We loved our food and would use them again for sure!

    Fabulous and Tasty

    The food was amazing. Everyone kept talking about how great the food was and how it was set up. They truly enjoyed it and expressed their appreciation of it through the receptions. The shrimp and grits during the cocktail hour was great also. Max Parrish and his team did a great job.

    Max was so easy to work with and create a menu! I was blown away at how good the food tasted! Everyone is still talking about how good it was. I would have the cater any event in the future.

    Exceptional in every way!

    We are so happy that we chose Anthony’s Catering for our daughter’s wedding reception! It was such a joy to work with Rob Vanderbilt from the minute we first spoke with him until after the event when we thanked him profusely for making this special day everything we all hoped it would be. His expert advice and guidance on menu selections, linens, layout and logistics were invaluable. Throughout the planning process, he made us feel as if we were his only clients. If he didn’t pick up the phone when we called, he called us right back. Our guests, young and old, raved about the incredible food, and one who is a gourmet cook herself said it was the best food she ever tasted at a wedding. The attractive food station presentation coordinated perfectly with our colors and décor and special foods were provided and labeled to accommodate guests with dietary restrictions. The food service staff and bartenders were professional and personable. We had such peace of mind knowing that everything was in Rob’s capable hands that we were able to enjoy every moment of the festivities

    Excellent Service

    Anthony's catering provided us with exceptional services and delicious food. Our guest are still raving about the overall experience. Our servers were personable and professional at all times. We couldn't have asked for a better catering company to help us elevate our wedding. We recommend Anthony's Catering in a heartbeat for your next event. Thank you, Kim and the rest of the team at Anthony's Catering for the outstanding services.

    Wonderful Caterer!

    We really liked working with Maxwell at Anthony's Catering. We did two tastings, and each time he was very communicative, offered good feedback, and was receptive to changes throughout the planning process. Any time there was a delay on any communication, he always gave an explanation (or let us know in advance if he'd be out) so we were able to communicate effectively, even largely planning the wedding from a different city. We also loved the fact they let us use our own alcohol instead of forcing us to use their vendor to purchase cocktails. They also worked with us on making sure there were vegan and gluten free options that some of our guests needed.

    When it came to the menu, we were pleased with what we got. We chose entrees of the Chicken Michelle and Bourbon Steak Tenderloin. We got tons of compliments on the beef in particular, from guests. Additionally, the star foods they provided for us were the appetizers - during the tastings we were IN LOVE with the shrimp and grits, mac n cheese, stuffed mushrooms, and baked brie. We were very very sad we didn't get to eat any of our cocktail hour food on the day of. Make sure you get someone to grab that stuff for you so you don't miss out.

    Maxwell was also helpful with last minute changes - we added donuts late in the game and he made sure we had carafes of milk for them.

    We also had a minor hiccup that occurred because some of the booze and mixers we bought didn't make it to the venue on time. They were still able to make it work for us with some of the assorted sodas they brought for dinner until we could get reserves in to deliver to the bartenders.

    If I could change anything about the night, I would have set a plan ahead of time to try not to waste as much food. We had a very large amount of guests (around 179) and at the end of cocktail hour, instead of saving any they just threw out all the leftover appetizers when my family would have gladly taken some home. Even being able to donate it to a shelter would have been a more helpful option. I was unaware of the waste until the following day, which was a bummer. However, that was not something we set a game plan for ahead of time, and so I understand how that confusion may have occurred if they didn't know our preference would have been to save any leftovers or there was no way for them to save it in containers.

    We used Anthony’s for our recent wedding. Rose was so helpful in planning and just brought all the final touches during set up to make everything look so perfect. Our guests could not say enough about the food we selected. The macaroni bar is to die for! You can’t go wrong with yummy food and great service!!!

    We hired Anthonys for our November 2017 wedding in Lake City and they were awsome! We wanted a casual buffet style dinner with a southern comfort food theme. And we did a shrimp and grits station which was a hit! Everyone said how great the food was and even guests who had never had grits before went back for seconds. Max was our point of contact and we just loved how flexible he was with any changes and any ideas we found on Pinterest he did his best to make our vision come true. On the wedding day their staff and servers were efficient and professional and guests commented on how friendly they were. They also took really good care of my husband and I during the reception, bringing us food and keeping our drinks full. Would hire Anthonys again for sure.

    We attended a wedding today an Anthony's was the catering service. Everyone at my table loved the food. The crap dip was great and the all the reception food. The main course was the buffet style and as the staff served us they were all very friendly and provided a nice portion of food. I asked for a couple cards and will definitely keep them in mind for any catering needs. I highly recommend this company. Awesome experience. Thanks

    Anthonys was delicious and my guests loved the food! My family is from up north and Italian and my husbands is from down south so we did a north meets south menu! The most popular items with my guests were the steak diane (you can cut with your fork!) and the corn bread soufflé! They were quick with responding to emails and very professional staff during the wedding. My husband and I received our meal right away which allowed for mingling while others ate. Recommend to anyone!

    Our wedding reception was at the Jacksonville Zoo, which only allows Anthony's Catering to be the bar vendor. Thankfully, Anthony's does not price gouge knowing they are one's only option. Their prices were more than fair and much less than some other companies and venues we had researched. We (mostly my hubs) worked with Kim setting up the bar details prior to our event. And that was an absolute positive experience. I know Kim has been in this industry for 10+ years and she does a fantastic job at it. She worked with us to stay within our price range and get us the most bang for our buck, so to speak. For our event, Marc & Nikki were our bartenders and they were awesome! Very friendly and personable. Our chosen specialty drinks were The Pink Elephant and The Alligator Chomp. I picked The Pink Elephant (vodka and strawberry lemonade) while as my groom picked The Alligator Chomp. And surprisingly, I LOVED The Alligator Chomp! A mix of whiskey and Peach Tea. The pours of alcohol were generous. Super happy with their service and glad they were a part of our special day! We spent approx. $4,00 for 115 guests.

    I used Anthony's for my son's wedding in April and couldn't have been more pleased. The food was phenomenal and we had raves from our guests. Not the typical wedding buffet. The bride was looking to save money and buy her own decorations. Kim and KR convinced her that we could rent items from Unique Events and they would help design the beachy feel she was looking for. They were able to create an event that was within our budget. The bride was nervous about turning over control, but was overjoyed with the results. Kim and KR were easy to work with and personally supervised everything the day of the wedding. It was an outdoor wedding and reception which presented challenges the day of the wedding when it turned out to be very windy. They were quick to respond to these challenges and come up with alternatives. Kim and KR were extremely attentive to the bride and groom and they made sure I was pleased with everything that day. Due to pictures, I missed much of the cocktail hour. Everyone raved about the hors d'oeuvres but I only had a few. Kim returned with a plate of all our selections. The bacon wrapped scallops were to die for. At the end of the evening, I was able to see the bride and groom off and then my guests. The clean up team had everything I was taking packed up and ready to load into my car as soon as I said good night to the last guests. They are true professionals. KR was married the weekend before and had taken a week off. Kim was on top of everything that week and KR was back the day of the wedding and the day before. I love these ladies. If I was going to make a recommendation, I'd say trust them through the entire process. They know what they are doing and will not disappoint you. They are willing to accommodate any requests. My daughter-in-law was NOT a bridezilla which made her easy to work with and it made everyone's life easier. Anthony's Gourmet Catering, Kim and KR took all the stress off of us.

    Anthony's Gourmet Catering is amazing. They catered our wedding and did an outstanding job. We got married in March and people still talk about how good the food was. KR was so wonderful and easy to work with. They made the whole process very simple and took care of everything. They asked me questions I didn't even think of and were prepared for anything I may need.

    I would 100% recommend Anthony's to anyone. Any future catering services I need, I'll definitely be calling Anthony's.

    Wow oh Wow!!! No review I could write could say enough about how phenomenal Anthony's Catering is! From the moment I started talking Rob Vanderbuilt I had nothing but wonderful service. Rob was very quick to put a menu and price together for me and responded quickly when I had any questions. When we went for the food tasting, it was unbelievable! The professionalism they showed us was above and beyond our expectations. The food was to die for. Everything we tasted was unbelievably phenomenal!! We knew we had the best. The food was absolutely perfect during the reception and the waitstaff was wonderful and very professional. We were told by every single guest how awesome the food was and how they wish they knew how they made their seafood gumbo. Rob and waitstaff... Thank you so so much for everything!! Rob you outdid yourself. The food was phenomenal and the service was impeccable!!! Thank you for making our day perfect!!!

    Kim Flowers Stoddard- Wedding Coordinator and KR Craven
    Anthony's Catering

    We met Kim through Anthony's Catering to handle our bar for the reception. Turns out, she also did wedding coordinating as well and we loved her so much we hired her for "day on" coordinating for our daughter's wedding at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens. She did so much more than "day on" in terms of her time, attention and services and met with us in our home at least 3 to 4 times on details…as well as coordinated with all the other vendors as to program, scheduling and deliveries to the venue. She also led us to KR Craven, who was indispensable in not only providing the most gorgeous tropical asymmetrical table arrangements ever for the reception tables but is also her assistant as well…both of them are fabulous and so much so, that when pictures come in, we are getting together over wine and food and viewing them at the house! I cannot emphasize how wonderful Kim and KR are in terms of their professionalism and you will fall in love with them as well! We couldn’t have pulled it off without them!

    Anthony's Catering also did a great job on the bar selections and were reasonably priced and professional....they had many options for open bars, beer and wine, signature drinks, etc..
