Tin Kitchen started as a bold idea on four wheels—a food truck with a serious passion for flavor. Back in 2010, we hit the streets with globally inspired street food and a mission to bring something new to Charlotte’s growing culinary scene. What started as a small operation quickly grew into a local staple, helping spark the city’s food truck movement and earning a loyal following along the way.

Today, Tin Kitchen Catering is a full-service catering company trusted by clients across the Charlotte area for everything from casual lunches to high-profile weddings. While our food truck roots taught us how to move fast and serve people well, our catering operation allows us to connect deeper—to craft menus with intention, plan every detail, and create food experiences that people remember.

We loved The Tin Kitchen!

We hired The Tin Kitchen to cater for our wedding and we could not be any happier!

We had the pleasure of working with Diana from the initial consultation to the end of the wedding day and she was an absolute joy to work with! She was extremely professional, responsive, and helped us with any questions or requests we have. She was also flexible in helping us with anything we inquired about. Even the last minute notice we received about a food allergy! We learned about a food allergy for one of our guests the day before the wedding. We let Diana know even as soon as we heard even though this information was due a week before the wedding. We were not expecting anything to happen since it's past due. To our surprise, Diana was able to accommodate that last food allergy request. The team also helped with some cleaning up and tear down after the dinner was over. That was amazing service and a huge help to us after a long day!

The food from The Tin Kitchen were all delicious! They have a huge menu with different cuisines available to choose from. We opted to build our own and mix and match. For appetizers we got Stuffed Jalapenos with corn elote stuffing, Luau Chicken Skewers, Falafel, and a Meat & Cheese Grazing Board. For entrees, we opted a sit down plated service with 2 entrees for each guest. We got Mediterranean Chicken and Sesame Sweet Chili Shrimp. This also comes with a salad and we got their Signature Caesar Salad. For dessert, we got Sriracha Brownies and Petit Four Station. They were all amazing especially when we were starving after the ceremony and photos session. Oh! The appetizers were passed around and they brought them out for the guests taking the photos. That was a great thing because my husband gets hangry 🤭 Overall, we and other guests loved the taste and quality of the food. The staff also packed an extra portion of each dish for us to bring home! We were full at dinner but somehow got hungry again when we got home. Probably from all of the partying and cleaning up. We devoured the leftovers when we got home and we were so thankful that they did that.

Overall we were very pleased with The Tin Kitchen as our caterer for our wedding. We highly recommend them as a caterer for your next event! They went above and beyond and we really appreciate it! Special shout-out to Emily who was my husband's college friend. She recognized his name and told Diana to ask about him during our initial consultation. Emily and my husband were able to reconnect after so many years. That was a nice surprise! Thank you, The Tin Kitchen! ❤️

Delicious and professional!

The tin kitchen from start to finish was easy to work with and that showed most on our wedding night! Their food was incredible and we received multiple compliments all night about it. I highly recommend the Cuban slider and the bbq pulled pork!

If I could give 6 stars I would!

We used The Tin Kitchen to cater our wedding per our venues recommendation and I am so glad we did. From the beginning, Diana specifically, was so helpful and informative! She gave us so many options and information, and was amazing at communicating in a timely manner and went above and beyond to answer every question we had! Even in the last few weeks leading up to the wedding she was very accommodating and made sure we had everything we needed, whether that was adding bar staff or drinks last minute, to making sure all of the allergies were taken care of! That was just the service- as far as the food goes, our wedding was 3 weeks ago and I am still having people reach out and tell me how delicious everything was! I feel like buffets can be hit or miss but ours was so fresh and flavorful! We did BBQ pulled pork and BBQ Grilled chicken and it was amazing!!!!!

Perfect for Rehearsal/Wedding

Tin Kitchen was recommended by our wedding planner for catering. Our previous caterer fell through just two weeks before the wedding, but Tin Kitchen was able to accomodate our needs quickly. We hired them for both the rehearsal dinner and reception. For rehearsal we had their classic taco bar buffet and for reception we chose the "healthy buffet" with certain substitutions to make it our own. Food was great and the staff was very professional/friendly. Highly recommend them for any catering services.

Everything we were looking for, not fussy, but still formal for a wedding! Perfection!

The Tin Kitchen was exactly what we were looking for. We had an intimate wedding with 60 people in an art gallery at the end of 2019. They were so professional, provided everything that we needed, so timely, so easy to work with! Everyone raved about their food for both dinner and cocktail hour. Can’t recommend them enough!

Helpful and good food!

When my original caterer dropped out last minute, Tin Kitchen stepped up and worked with us quickly. They were very helpful and professional and the food was very good! Many people at the reception said that they enjoyed the food a lot!

DELICIOUS & perfect for us!

"What a fun idea - a food truck @ a wedding!" - what we kept hearing all night! It was so nice to have it all brought in, served, and nothing to clean up! Professional, yummy, & helpful! I tell everyone what a great idea it was that we used them (and not traditional bbq like most rustic farm weddings do).

Reasonably priced, good food

They were great to work with for our wedding! The food tasted great, was reasonably priced considering the others we looked at, and plenty to eat no one went hungry.
They were also flexible, we had a couple of special dietary requests and adjustments that they handled so well.
Staff was responsive and friendly.
Overall very happy, our wedding day was a success in part because of them!

Hire them!!

Diana and Tin Kitchen were amazing for our wedding! They were responsive and willing to work with us within our budget. We did the build your own buffet and all our guests raved about how great the food was - they were right! I would absolutely hire Tin Kitchen again and 10/10 recommend them.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
