Professional and Helpful

I cannot begin to say enough good things about my experiences with Kelly’s OBX catering in Nags Head NC. My son’s wedding in Nags Head was cancelled in 2020 due to Covid, yet they went ahead and got married in an intimate ceremony in their home town. They along with his brother and wife now have small infants and we did not think having a rehearsal dinner in a restaurant would make sense. Despite my last minute planning Mary Ann from Kelly’s squeezed us in for catering our rehearsal dinner at the Inn where we were all staying in Nags Head. Mary Ann was a pleasure to work with and went out of her way to help us with logistics and planning. The staff that set up the food the night of our dinner were so kind and helpful. The portions of food were generous. Everyone at our rehearsal dinner enjoyed their food. I received so many compliments on the Broiled Seafood, Fried Chicken and side dishes that accompanied the meal. One continuous statement from guests was the “Best Fried Chicken ever! “

Kelly’s catering was absolutely perfect! A company that could deliver and had the type of food I was looking for, for the wedding. And they were flexible when I had to change the venue last minute. My guests and I loved the food! I will definitely cater with you guys again in the near future. 100% recommend

Amazing Wedding Caterer!!!

We had the greatest experience with Kellys as our wedding caterers. The food was absolutely divine, multiple guests told me it was hands down the best food they'd ever been served at a wedding and I completely agreed! The beef shoulder was insanely good.. I am still dreaming of it!! Mary Ann was extremely helpful to us in choosing the perfect menu that fit our needs, giving us advice when we were unsure what would be best. They were always easy to get a hold of when we had questions, and then on the day they made sure that my husband and I were fed and had everything we needed during the reception. Then they cleaned and packed up everything so we could enjoy our leftovers; the place was left so clean it was like they were never there. I give them allll the stars, they were amazing and I highly recommend them!!! PRO TIP: get the sweet potato biscuits; our whole party was fighting over them for breakfast for the next 2 days until they were gone!

Absolutely Amazing

Kellys Outerbanks catering service is impeccable. They were so easy to work with, flexible on timing and the food was spectacular! We had a taco bar with apps and everything came out perfect. They listen to what we wanted and gave us multiple options to choose from when it came to what we wanted to eat, if we wanted service or just delivery, I absolutely recommend them to any of your catering needs and will 100% use them in the future for other events!

Definitely a 10/10!

Kelly’s was always responsive to any calls or emails I had. The food was absolutely delicious! There is not anything that wasn’t outstanding in taste. Guests at the wedding also told me how great the food was. The staff did an excellent job from setting up, to serving to cleaning up and taking down.

In one word, amazing.

I had the shrimp and grits, the tenderloin and the potatoes. They were all delicious. I was so busy talking and dancing I missed the rest but everyone said the apps were fabulous and that the entire menu was amazing. I wish I could do it all again just for the food. I knew when we had our tasting that we had made the right choice. Thank you so much!!

Excellent service, highly recommend

Kelly’s Catering went absolutely above and beyond for us. The food was truly incredible, everyone was raving about it, especially the shrimp and grits which I HIGHLY recommend. All of the staff members were excellent, they never let anyone go without a drink or food. The bartenders made the best drinks and were very hospitable. Tables stayed cleaned and clear; glasses, silverware, plating were all beautiful. Truly couldn’t be more happy with our experience especially in the midst of a tropical storm!

wedding reception caterer

our wedding was May 2023. I am in the service industry and have seen a lot of caterers. Kellys Catering was incredible!! The planning was great, the food was excellent (so good we made sure to order extra for left overs) and the service was above expectations. Kellys was flexible with what we needed and wanted. Will definitely be recommending them to anyone needing catering service near the outer banks!
