Jennifer Sent on 07/14/2023Amazing service all around!
I HIGHLY recommend Cook Shack for your wedding catering! It was a fabulous experience all around. The food was absolutely delicious and our guests have been raving about it for days and weeks after our wedding. Not only was the food wonderful, but the service was unmatched. Austin led us through an incredibly tasting, Tracey was extremely responsive to communicate with, and their entire staff provided great service at the venue. They are so thoughtful and really care about their customers. Cook Shack provided to-go meals for us as the bride and groom to ensure we got to try the food. I cannot recommend Cook Shack enough! Thank you for everything!Cook Shack Catering's reply:

Cook Shack Catering did an excellent job catering our wedding. From hors d'oeuvres to the large portion dinner to the late-night quesadilla bar, our guests were raving about the food. Our personal favorites were the bacon-wrapped scallops and the grilled vegetable skewers! The service was also excellent. The wait staff served our plated dinner efficiently for our 200 guests so no one had to wait long for their food and the bar lines moved quickly with ease. All of the bartenders and servers were kind and courteous, and the whole night ran smoothly. We also love that we were able to have an ice cream sundae bar with the very cute trailer/cart Cook Shack offers. The ice cream was delicious and a big hit with our guests! Tracey was lovely to work with during the planning process and was great with communication and coordination! We highly recommend Cook Shack and were we to get married a second time, we’d call them up again!Cook Shack Catering's reply:
We loved being a part of your special day!! You guys were such a joy to work with!!

Cook Shack is everything we could have asked for in a catering company and more. Throughout the entire process, Tracey was incredibly kind, patient, and communicative in answering our various questions. With the extensive and delicious menu, it was really appreciated that we could do a tasting with another couple to try different items, all of which were so so good! Tracey and the Cook shack team were flexible and helped us figure out great options for our guests with dietary restrictions. Needless to say, the food was incredible and the entire team was so great during our wedding, making sure that we ate and our guests with dietary restrictions got their special meals. Everyone was RAVING about the food, saying it was the best food they’ve had at a wedding! Cook shack even sent us home with neatly packed leftovers and an extremely thoughtful gift! -

My husband and I had a choice of 5 caterers for our wedding, and we are so glad we went with Cook Shack. From the start, our catering tasting was to die for. We went in for the tasting with another couple and we all got to choose several things and try everything as a group. Their food was fantastic and so were the desserts. They sent us home with so much leftover food just for the tasting! Between our tasting and our wedding, Tracey was extremely responsive and professional, and always answered any questions we had. The food and staff were fantastic the day of the wedding. Everyone raved about the food and the dessert (they made a crazy good cheesecake and chocolate mousse). Would highly recommend. -

They were a preferred vendor with our venue, but I am so thankful they were! Their pricing was a couple thousand less than the other options, but their food was AMAZING. They were very easy to work with from the beginning, and, thankfully, we were able to do a tasting with them! The tasting was an interesting experience--we were with 1 other couple, and we got to try each other's food choices. Which worked out well for us, since we ended up changing a couple items after that day! All their food was delicious--our guests kept talking about how much they loved the food! The staff the day of were very professional and made sure my husband and I got to eat (well, at least they made sure we had a chance to eat...our guests, on the other hand, made it very difficult). And they were so nice to put out our desserts for us, so we didn't have to worry about that day of! -

Tracey and the entire Cook Shack team was a pleasure to work with while planning for our postponed wedding reception! After being referred to Cook Shack by several friends, my husband and I took one look at their extensive menu and knew we wanted them to be a part of our event! Friends and family that attended our party are still raving about the asiago chicken, brisket and roasted vegetables and several even showed up at our house the next day for leftovers!! The dessert selections were delicious! Coordinating the dinnerware and linen rentals through Cook Shack made logistics much more seamless. Definitely recommend this caterer for your next event!! -

Evie Sent on 08/23/2021Amazing, professional experience!
We were blown away with Cook Shack from start to finish! Not only were they understanding and flexible with us when we needed to postpone our wedding due to COVID-19, but their attention to detail throughout our reception was amazing. The food is amazing and plentiful, and they make sure you as a couple get to enjoy the food on your big day as well. The staff even packaged up hors d’oeuvres from our cocktail hour for us to take on our transportation with us as we took our wedding party photos after the ceremony! We especially loved that they packaged up two meals (along with a very kind wedding gift) for us to share at home together once the party was over! Anyone in the area getting married should put reaching out to Cook Shack at the top of their to-do list. They are hands down one of our favorite wedding vendors and the reason we have received so many compliments from guests! -

Cook Shack Catering provided the hors d’oeuvres and food for our wedding on April 24th. The service was great!! We have had several guests reach out to us and say that the food was among the best wedding food they’ve ever had! Overall we were very pleased on our day and would happily recommend them. Thanks again Austin, Tracey, and team! 😁Cook Shack Catering's reply:
Glad that you and your guest were please with the food and service. We enjoyed being able to be a part of your wedding!! -

Ultimately we did not have our wedding celebration as a result of Covid, but Cook Shack was flexible, understanding, and empathetic as we tried to navigate getting married in 2020. The food at our tasting was absolutely delicious and they were willing to work with a dietary restriction. Definitely recommend!Cook Shack Catering's reply:
We so hate that Covid railed your plans. If we are able to help with anything in the future let us know. -

Tracy and the Cook Shack staff did an amazing job with my daughter's wedding. The food was unbelievable and plentiful. Our guest talked about how delicious our appetizers and buffet were. They pay such attention to detail and They are super easy to work with. I highly recommend them for any event. The shrimp and grits and fried green tomatoes are the best I have ever had.Cook Shack Catering's reply:
Everything about this event was gorgeous!! Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the day. -

I honestly don't think I can put into words how wonderful Cook Shack Catering truly is! From start to finish, top to bottom... they are the best of the best! The food is absolutely delicious and combined with their service, expertise and professionalism... you can't go wrong! They catered our wedding and now I'm ready to plan another event just so I can work with Cook Shack again and enjoy their food and customer service. I knew from the moment I got engaged that I wanted Cook Shack to cater our wedding because I had enjoyed their food at other events. I am so glad I never wavered and they were one of my "must haves" BOOK THEM NOW!Cook Shack Catering's reply:

Cook Shack is amazing. I would highly recommend for any event. The team went above and beyond to ensure everything was decorated beautifully, presented nicely, and most importantly, tasted AMAZING. Guests are still talking about how delicious the food tasted. -

I cannot tell you how amazing this company is!! The food, the people, just amazing! Cook Shack was great to work with during the Covid-19 pandemic. When everything happened, they gave us lots of options on what we could use our deposit for. My original venue was the complete opposite so I was worried to reach out. They worked with us and ended up letting us use our deposit towards our rehearsal dinner the day before our wedding instead of using them for our actual wedding day as our new venue had food included. To me, this was extremely understanding of the situation in the world and says a lot about the type of people working here!!!!! To top it off, they added some veggies to the meal to make it more complete. Again, I can not say enough good things about cook shack, simply amazing!!! -

Our entire experience with Cook Shack from food selection, taste testing, logistics, and day-of was phenomenal. The entire team was so great to work with, especially during the uncertain times of COVID. They truly make the bride and groom their priority and have excellent service. Our guest even stated they wished they could take to-go plates of food from our wedding because of how delicious it was! We are so grateful Austin, Tracy, and their entire team were part of our special day and would hands down have them be a part of any future catering needs we may have. -

Brandi Sent on 09/01/2020Highly Recommend Cook Shack!!
Cook Shack was the best to work with! Like most couples, we did end up having to postpone our wedding reception because of Covid from April to August and they were more than accommodating. The fact that they were so easy to work with as we changed our date definitely helped alleviate some stress on us during that time!
After our tasting (which was so fun and personal!), we raved about how great everything tasted to our friends and family. It did not disappoint on the wedding day!! SO many guests came up to us told us how great the food was and asked us who our caterer was! We also used their bartenders and servers and they all did a fabulous job!!
We highly recommend Cook Shack! Great communication and awesome food! -

Tess Sent on 02/27/2020Best decision of our wedding!
Don't even bother looking anywhere else- CookShack is the BEST! The number of guests that told us our wedding food was the best they have ever had was insane. Such easy folks to work with and they truly made our wedding day so easy and enjoyable. Would highly recommend the cheese quesadillas as an appetizer, beef brisket and the cornbread as part of your main meal, and adding on the ICE CREAM BAR! Our guests absolutely loved the Howling Cow ice cream CookShack provided. I wish we could married again purely for the food! :) Thank you, CookShack - truly made our wedding perfect!Cook Shack Catering's reply:

James Sent on 02/17/2020Incredible food and Quality Service- Great Team
The Cookshack team was incredible from start to finish, being a LGBT couple, it was important for us to have welcoming vendors and the team at Cookshack couldn't have been more accepting. We tried several caterers, but the sample dinner at Cookshack was leaps and bounds above the other vendors in the Raleigh area. The cookshack team worked with us to add in a few custom items and tweak a recipe for our guests preferences. The broiled pimento cornbread was a crowd-pleaser! The day of the wedding, we had nothing to worry about and were able to enjoy ourselves as well as our guests! -

Rachel Sent on 11/04/2019Amazing Food!!!
We knew we wanted to have Cook Shack cater our wedding before we even tried their food simply based on what we had heard about them from people who previously had them cater an event or from other vendors in the wedding business community! Cook Shack has a well known reputation and they have delicious food! They served so much food for us to try in our consultation which made planning our menu easy for the wedding. For appetizers we had chicken and waffles, pimento cheese on cornbread, and fried green tomatoes. For dinner we did BBQ pork, brisket, and Chicken a la Spring with salads and rolls to start, and for sides we had coleslaw, potatoes, loaded baked beans, and Mac and cheese. Then for dessert we had apple crisp and banana pudding. We had plated salads and everything else buffet style. Everyone loved the food and they sent food with us that night when the wedding ended, along with a gift bag of goodies! They offer a high quality of service, are always professional, were responsive and flexible in the planning process, and definitely showed us how much they valued us as customers! Highly recommend having them cater your next event!!!Cook Shack Catering's reply:
Thank you for allowing us to be apart of you amazing day!!! We are glad that you and your guest were pleased with everything.

Cook Shack catered our wedding earlier this month, and WOW!!! The hors d-oeuvres, food, lemonades, and assorted pies were amazing. They served us with the best ribeye steaks/rosemary chickens we've tasted in our lives, and don't even get me started about the sides. All of our guests were impressed and really enjoyed everything and everyone left full and happy :) (and that's saying a lot because we had 350+ people attend)! More importantly the Cook Shack team was AWESOME - so organized and on top of everything. Austin is the warmest person you'll ever meet and Tracey was such a pleasure to work with! I can't say enough good things- I recommend them to everyone now- you will NOT be disappointed (make sure you get the homemade pita chips and buffalo chicken dip- it's a crowd favorite). THANK YOU COOK SHACKCook Shack Catering's reply:
