Best Food Ever

Sitting down at our reception we took one bite and turned to each other because the food was SO amazing. The staff is very friendly and responsive. They worked closely to our budget and provided the best experience the day of, bringing us pre-made plates and water bottles so we wouldn't miss out at the reception. Highly recommend!! *PS the Pepper Jelly Pork is ah-mazing!

Wonderful!

Bacon and Fig did a wonderful job for my son’s rehearsal dinner. They were quick to respond to my inquiry, helpful and kind. The food was delivered on time, the workers were professional. The food was absolutely delicious! The brisket and the Louisiana Pasta with shrimp were perfect! No regrets on using them for our special night!

Everything about the experience was incredible. From the coordinators to the staff day of and the food was fabulous.

You can’t ask for a better team to help you with your event. From day one they were so helpful to the night of event to everything they told us would happen as far as clean up, service and set up was spot on. They made sure we were taking care of all night long. The communication was also exceptional. You can’t go wrong with everything about this vendor.

Hire them immediately!

I can not say enough amazing things about Bacon & Fig. They were extremely patient with the changes I had to make during my wedding planning. They were helpful and understood my budget and guided me through the menu to stay within what I could spend. There was no upselling at all. Now to the food. Ohhhhhh the food!! It was all insanely good. My guests still talk about how incredible everything was. The steak was moist and delicious, we added chimichurri ( which I suggest) . The bacon wrapped dates and brisket meatball with bbq sauce were living in my head way after our reception. If you are looking for a caterer that goes above and beyond for their clients DO NOT HESITATE. Call them right now!! Like right now!! You will not be disappointed.

Catered Party

Event scheduled at my home. Had to cancel due to emergency and was able to reschedule without penalties. FB is a top notch Catoring Company with excellent service and food. Food was outstanding and girls working went over and beyond to make sure everyone was happy. Setup went smooth, food was hot and presentation was beautifully done. I highly recommend FB and will be using them Again at my next function.

Brunch fit for Royalty

We booked our catering 2.5 years out from our actual wedding. When I say that Ms. Angel has been an actual angel during the process, I mean it. She was able to customize our menu to fit out specific preferences. Replied emails very quickly. Has been super friendly and helpful throughout the process. She even got the menu to fit my wants and my budget. The food was amazing! If you have the opportunity, I would get their shrimp and grits. I will be recommending Bacon and Fig to all of my friends and family for their upcoming events.
