Amazing and Delicious

Crave did amazing for a seated dinner. All of our guests really enjoyed the food. The Chicken Piccata I decided to have was so delicious! They did our cake as well. We originally were going to go with a funfetti but after trying their carrot cake we had to change our mind. Bar service was also amazing. We had the "Marry Me" Mule and it was a hit with all our guests. They were also super accommodating when we needed to come in on a weekend to do our tasting as we lived out of town and couldn't take time off to come during the week.

The Most Delicious Wedding Food Ever

Food was one of the most important aspects of our wedding for us, and we couldn't have asked for a better vendor to make our culinary dreams come true. So many of our guests have said that our food was the best wedding food they've ever had. Meredith and the team were creative and accommodating and so inspiring when it came to our menu. I would stop your search now and go with Crave Catering for your wedding. It's one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

Amazing Food, Professionalism, and Service

Meredith and the whole team at Crave was wonderful to work with. We received so many compliments from our guests on the deliciousness of the food, the professionalism of the servers, and in particular the astute way they handled our guest's food allergies.

Meredith, Leslie, and the whole team helped create a perfect custom menu for our day. They were incredibly professional, quick to respond, and treated us so well. During the very stressful time of planning, postponing, and replanning a wedding during the pandemic, Crave was always there to help and support us. Absolutely would recommend them to everyone!

Crave is seriously the best. I recently had the pleasure of working with them and absolutely loved them.

Everything was perfectly executed and the food was fab. Can't recommend them enough.

Amazing food, service... All with short notice!

We had originally hired another caterer that was a preferred vendor with our venue. Sadly, they went out of business a few months before our wedding. They very kindly introduced us to Crave, and helped transition our menu over.

Leslie at Crave is nothing short of a rock star! She is an absolute pro, and helped us execute our same vision that we had with our previous caterer. Crave was so flexible, accommodating, and had a total can-do attitude. The service was seamless, and the food delicious.

My husband and I are very much into food. It was such a major decision for us, the one we took the longest to decide upon while wedding planning. Crave absolutely delivered, and we had so many compliments from guests as well.

Delicious food!

Having delicious food was one of our top 3 important things for our wedding, and Crave really delivered. They helped bring to life our goal of giving our guests the ultimate interactive dining experience, with passed appetizers, a chef-attended avocado bar, a chef-attended cookie and ice cream bar, and a staffed s'mores bar. The complimentary signature cocktails included with our bartending package was also a really nice touch. We really enjoyed having Crave as our caterer and highly recommend them!

Great customization for your menu

We used Crave for our wedding catering and could not be happier! They customize your menu to what you want and any restrictions (we needed dairy-free), great communication, and great service. Our guests raved about the food to us, which is what we wanted. They were a tad more expensive than a few others we were looking at but that was worth the experience, service, and product. They were one of the best things from our wedding.

A blessing to have y’all...

Thank you Crave for being so incredible. I could not stop getting messages about how great the food was. Matt and I chose to eat privately and Meredith had a whole spread set up for us to enjoy in private. The food was phenomenal and the service was also unmatched. Meredith made sure matt and I were taken care of as well as my parents, everytime I emptied a drink she had another one coming! She was all over the place making sure things were perfect, and they were. The bartenders were literally so awesome too! Can’t thank them enough for our specialty drink and serving our crazy wedding party! I highly recommend!

Crave Catering

When my husband and I did our tasting we fell in love with the employees at Crave. Every bite was somehow even more tasty than the last- in the catering business that is hard to find. We loved everything Crave was able to do for us at our wedding!!! We STILL have friends and family absolutely RAVING about the wonderful food Crave prepared for our wedding- that doesn't happen! When it comes to 200+ wedding count you don't expect everyone to love the food selection. We had 0 complaints and TONS of positive feedback from people about how tasty the food was- even friends asking for recipes!! Crave was 3 steps ahead of me, preparing food for the kids (which I hadn't even thought about) and welcoming every one of my guests! I heard all night long just how friendly and professional the employees were. We were touched by Crave's kindness and professionalism at our wedding- I had no doubt in my mind we would love it! We had selected roasted brussel sprouts as part of our meal because we love them, we have had people come forward admitting they didn't like brussel sprouts before but now they love them! All thanks to Crave. We even got a to-go bag packed for us to enjoy- talk about starting your honeymoon off right!! We loved everything Crave did for us!!

Ask for Sarah!

AMAZING does not even begin to characterize this catering company. First of all, Sarah was FANTASTIC to work with in every way. She helped us set the menu, walked us through a private tasting with my parents and made us feel confident in our choices every step along the way. We decided to go through Specs for our liquor and although they offer that service as well, they helped in the coordination of ordering, purchasing AND delivery! Sarah was a Bride's dream and we were SO lucky to work with such an amazing vendor. Not to mention - everyone RAVED about the food - when else can you say the food was the highlight of the evening at the wedding?!?! THANK YOU CRAVE!!!

Best wedding food ever!

From our tasting to our wedding day Crave delivered big time. Sarah was amazing to work with, she even helped with out alcohol order. Most importantly, the food was delicious, thoughtfully prepared and presented, and impressed all our guests. We got so many compliments on our food and cocktails!! They even packed us a to-go bag filled with food so we could enjoy it days after our wedding. Highly recommend Crave - you won’t be disappointed.

Best of the best!

I got married this past November and I still have family and friends raving about how great our wedding food was! We worked with Sarah at Crave and she was amazing! Trent and I love pretzels and Sarah worked with us on having an amazing pretzel bar at our cocktail hour. Sarah suggested some fall cocktails that were perfect for our November wedding that also fit our personalities! We chose to do family style and it was a hit! For our main entrees, we selected Chicken Picatta Roulade and Beef Bourguignon with sides of mixed veggies and roasted garlic mashed potatoes. Crave offered a private dinner for Trent and I so we could eat, just us two, before we entered into our reception. It was great to have a minute to ourselves! Late night breakfast tacos, provided by Crave, were a big hit at the sparkler exit! I'm so glad we chose Crave Catering, the service was great and they even packed us up a little to-go back with some leftovers! Thank you Crave and thank you Sarah!

Best Catering Company BY FAR!!!!!

We recently got married at Ma Maison which only uses Crave Catering. I’m not going to lie – we were a little skeptical at first. But after our first tasting we were completely blown away, not only with the food but how professional the whole team was. Shout out to Sarah – you are superwoman! Sarah was extremely helpful with every detail from the beginning to the end. Me being a Type-A, mildly neurotic bride, she responded promptly to every email, phone call, random-ridiculous questions with such thoughtfulness and clarity. She even took us over to Marquee Rentals and setup mock table settings – the table cloths, the champagne flutes, the chairs, and way more, she made it superb! She made my vision come alive. Sarah truly is a saint sent down from the wedding heavens! A five-star review just doesn’t do her justice!

From the specialty cocktails, to the four-passed hors d'oeuvres, to the three-course plated dinner, to the open bar – we were beyond impressed with everything. The food was incredible! Our guests are still raving about how amazing the food tasted. The service was perfect as well. Literally the whole Crave team put on a show!

We are so grateful for the whole team at Crave for making our wedding the wedding of the century. I would love to do it all over again – it was so much fun! We literally can’t stop talking about how exceptional everything was. I would HIGHLY recommend Crave Catering to anyone for any event. Thank you, Sarah and the whole team for making my fairytale wedding a reality – but way better!

If you want incredible food and service - BOOK CRAVE!

I cannot say enough great things about Crave - they were AMAZING! The amount of people who told my husband and I how delicious the food was at the wedding was unreal, I would never have imagined. On top of the incredible food, Crave went above and beyond during every moment of planning. Since I was planning from out of state I had a lot of random questions pop into my head at random times and Sarah responded promptly to every email and question I had with such kindness and clarity - from changing up the menu, to adding small details, to linens and water goblets and more, they helped me with it all. Thank you, Crave, for making our wedding day so memorable not only for us but for providing our guests with a truly exquisite dining and service experience!

Having Crave was 100% the best decision that we made for our September wedding at Hummingbird House. They were immediately accommodating to all our food requests and made us excited to be able to have so many options. We did stations because we wanted a wide variety and spread of food choices. We had 3 amazing, unique stations: Mediterranean, Southern Comfort and Street Tacos. Some of our stand out favorites from our menu were the ahi tuna wonton crisp appetizers, blackened shrimp street tacos, brisket, mac & cheese, and rosemary biscuits. In fact, everything we had was delicious! Jill was incredible to work with and her attention to detail was outstanding. I loved her guide us through linen choices and help us order all the alcohol through Specs.

We were blown away at our tasting with all the incredible food and signature cocktails they created for us. Jill was understanding and responsive to many last-minute changes that we had, ensuring that we got exactly what we wanted. Jill made sure that everything ran smoothly the day of our wedding, and the service from the staff, bartenders and everyone from Crave was exceptional. If you are thinking about booking Crave for your wedding, do not hesitate! It was the best decision we made.

Crave went above and beyond my expectations for any company I have ever dealt with in my life! Our Crave rep, Jill, made the entire process so stress free and easy. Any question we had or were concerned about, she would answer quickly and precisely, leaving us saying "Wait, that's it? Wow, that was easy!".
Everything about this company was amazing and professional.
Food: Crave has a menu of amazing items to choose from, but also can make anything you want! We found amazing dishes online and Crave made anything we threw their way. The guests were raving about the food, wishing they had the chance to eat more! I, the bride, actually had a chance to sit down and eat, and was extremely satisfied with how delicious everything was. Jill brought me and my husband and glass of my favorite wine while we sat and ate. So sweet!
Tents: The tent team figured everything out and made possible what we thought to be impossible! The Sperry tents were stunning and magical.
The crew: Everyone we came in contact with in this process were easy going, kind, and professional. Even as the wedding went a different route, the bartenders improvised and made something unexpected seem planned!
I wish I could give more stars. I am so happy with my decision with Crave. Jill was amazing and extremely responsive to all of our constant changes in decisions. I had the best day and I owe it to this company. My family wants to have another big party just so we can hire this company again! Crave, thanks so much for all of your hard work and professional attitude that took any stress right off of our shoulders. Y'all are the best!

Crave has absolutely amazing food! have been hearing non-stop from our guests that this was hands down the best wedding food that they ever had. We also had a lot of stories of guests hanging out near the kitchen doors during cocktail hour because they couldn’t get enough of the appetizers. We couldn’t have made a better choice with our wedding catering.

We worked with Sarah during our planning process and she was so amazing to work with! She was always ahead of the game, keeping us updated through the whole process. She always made sure we thought of all the details and how best to accommodate all of our guests. She helped us fit in little details into our food to make it more us, while making sure we didn’t break the budget. Overall, Crave was amazing to work with and would highly recommend them to any bride out there!

I didn't outright choose Crave Catering (they're tied to our wedding venue), but I would've chosen Crave anyway! Simply put, the food is absolutely delicious. I was so proud and excited to serve this food to our guests! My fiance and I were treated to great service from our tasting to the last toast of the wedding day. Crave handled our guests' diet specifications seamlessly. It's not exactly cheap, but boy howdy is it worth it. Dine like royalty!

If you ever thought that "wedding food" can't ever be as good as fine restaurant cuisine --you haven't been to an event catered by Crave! Jill McCoy and her master team provided our daughter's wedding with the best of the best and from the cocktail hour to the reception dinner the food was superb. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the food and that is what you want to hear when planning such an event. Even the pre-planning was a breeze --Jill was accessible and always answered any query promptly. Planning our 3/24/2018 event wasn't easy either since our Bride and Groom live in Austin and we live in Connecticut but with Jill there never was any issue including helping my husband who because of a health issue needed to have his food prepped separately --Jill went out of her way to make sure he was well taken care of the entire night! We can't say enough how hiring Crave was one of the best things we did for our Big Day!

Y'all. Our wedding was five months ago, and people are STILL raving about the food at our wedding. Sarah and Crave Catering were amazing to work with and took incredible care planning every detail - from "his and hers" passed appetizers, a delicious two course dinner, and a very romantic couple's dinner for my husband and I right after our ceremony. Even our tasting dinner was well thought out and extra special. Their staff, too, are true professionals and helped make the set up and tear down of our wedding so easy.

Since our wedding, I've also had the pleasure of working with Crave for two corporate events, and their attention to detail, gorgeous presentation and on-point staff was just as evident in those events. I would recommend Crave Catering to anyone!

I am a wedding planner that recently worked with Crave. Everything from the tasting to the wedding day was fantastic. They really know how to make a client feel special with a high level of professionalism. The food was also amazing! Quality from the tasting was exactly what we got on the wedding day. Their team was quick to jump in and help set up the wedding, they served guests with a smile on their face and stepped up to help anywhere they could. Jill was our main POC and she was just great to work with. Very friendly and very professional. I highly recommend Jill and her staff.

My wife and I selected Crave after a few vendor tastings and couldn’t have been happier with our choice. We worked with Jill McCoy and she was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. We had a phenomenal tasting experience and selected the osso bucco with polenta and carrots and the chicken piccata with mash potatoes and Brussels as our main dishes (insanely good and tender) as well as the chopped Italian salad to start. Passed apps were risotto cheese balls and tuna tartare which were both great.

Both the osso bucco and chicken piccata received rave reviews but since my wife and I both had the osso bucco I’ll focus on that. The serving sizes were large which was great as it was open bar and some people even managed to clean their entire plates (I would’ve but I had to still fit in my tux after :)). The osso bucco was the best I’ve had and I ate it in Italy. Anyway, the professionalism and timeliness of Jill and her crew was like clockwork. I was extremely impressed with their service and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for caterers and for any future events ourselves. Fantastic!

We had Crave Catering for the wedding of our daughter at the Laguna Gloria in Austin on July 23 and are very happy. It was easy to work with them, specifically with Jill McCoy, during the planning stages. The execution on the day of the wedding was smooth and efficient. The food was delicious - there were almost no leftovers – the service highly professional. We highly recommend Crave for your big events.

Crave catering catered our wedding at Ma Maison on 2/25/17 and working with them was fantastic. We primarily worked with Sarah, she was easy to communicate with and took all our feedback into creating everything we wanted for the wedding. The appetizers were so tasty and we received so many compliments (we went with jalapeno mac and cheese bites, pork tacos serves in a cute lime wedge and the crowd favorite chicken and waffles with a pipette of syrup). Due to budget restrictions we needed to go with a buffet, and we were originally really bummed because who ever has delicious buffet meals? Even though we loved our tasting we were not planning on the food being a highlight after sitting out at the buffet. THE FOOD WAS INCREDIBLE! All the guests were talking about how great the food was. We had corn bread assortments, poblano mashed potatoes, roasted veggies, salsa verde chicken and beef tenderloin with chimichurri sauce. All highly recommended. To top it off Sarah and my planner surprised us with late night breakfast tacos that hit the spot. I was over the moon excited and cannot thank you enough. Your team of chefs, servers and bartenders were amazing. Thank you!

Crave was wonderful to work with! From the beginning, with test-tasting, all the way through to the wedding day, I would not have changed a thing. Leslie was wonderful to work with, and had some great recommendations regarding the number of glasses needed, the amount of cake balls to have, the amount of liquor to purchase, etc. Everything was very professional, and the guests raved about the food--the day was a huge success!

Crave was AMAZING! They catered my wedding for 130 people with 3 different food stations for people to choose food from. The food is absolutely amazing and the team is so professional and nice. Anytime I talked with them or went to the food tastings they had everything completely ready for me and made amazing suggestions. I highly suggest using them for any catered event!

Working with Leslie made my job as Mother of the Groom so easy with regard to a seated rehearsal dinner for 42. She was great fun to work with and her creative suggestions made for an extremely well received menu. All our guests were very complimentary of the selection, quality, taste and amount of food provided. Their service staff were excellent while being inconspicuous and professional. They made the event go so smoothly and we were able to have a great time! If we ever have a need for a caterer in the Austin/Buda area again, my first phone call will be to Crave! Thanks for your help and support!

Crave was amazing! They gave me a customized delicious menu with professional and wonderful service. The quality of food was on par with a restaraunt and definitely above what people expect with food served at weddings. Planning my menu was so fun and crave worked hard to make sure my menu was perfect for me. They successfully pulled off a vegan menu that all my non vegan guests raved about, from the cocktails and appetizers to the meal. A special thanks to Leslie who was so wonderful and helpful with every aspect. My wedding was seamless and it was in a large part because of crave. Highly recommended!

My husband and I got married in Jan 2015 at Old Glory Ranch. We used Crave Catering for both our rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony. We cannot say enough good things about their food and service. From the very beginning, when we met Leslie LaSorsa at our tasting, we were beyond impressed. Their food at the tasting alone rivaled some of our very favorite restaurants.
For our rehearsal dinner we chose a BBQ meal (brisket, sausage, chicken, green beans, tea corn pudding, etc), which was excellent. For our wedding we had a buffet and passed hors d'oeuvres. We loved the bacon wrapped quail bites and their spinach and artichoke dip was AMAZING. Our favorite item was the beef wellington. It melted in my mouth and was just so delicious.
Everyone at Crave was professional and a pleasure to work with.
I would recommend Crave to others without reservation!

We hired Crave to cater a family party of about 50 and were enormously pleased. We worked mostly with Leslie and Jordan. The food was excellent, and Leslie was very accommodating is making suggestions that would appeal to my dad's taste. There is always the fear that catered food will have a processed aftertaste and unappealing texture, and I am happy to say that this was not the case. Everything tasted wonderfully. The service was also dynamite. We were in a small reception space, and the staff did a great job of clearing the plates without causing a distraction. Overall I could not have asked for better. Thank you Crave!

Crave Catering was the absolute best! The staff was very professional and their food was incredible -- all of our guests commented to us about the delicious blend of flavors. We attended a tasting prior to our event, and they presented us with so many fabulous ideas, were so flexible with the menu (not only with putting it together but also with some specific dietary restrictions), and stayed within our budget. We also arranged our wedding cake through Crave, and it was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! We knew there were going to be several children at our event, and Crave created a children's menu that so many parents thanked us for and that the kids loved! I cannot say enough good things about Crave. They exceeded all of our expectations.

My husband and I did one tasting for our wedding and right then we knew we wanted them to cater our special day. Crave did such an amazing job with all aspects of their service and the food was INCREDIBLE. Our guests complimented us all night long and many said "that was the best wedding food they'd ever had." We couldn't have been happier. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for great service and amazing food for their wedding!!

Working with Meredith Pollard and Crave Catering was a wonderful experience. We planned our wedding from 2000 miles away and from our first phone consultation, Meredith was on point. She designed a menu that perfectly fit our tastes and venue as well as stayed within budget. The Crave team made the whole process smooth and were a pleasure to work with; they were helpful at every step, from choosing a menu to scheduling a tasting, guiding us in our drink selections, and ensuring our day went off without a hitch. The food was AMAZING (I still hear rave reviews from our guests) and the service throughout impeccable. I can't recommend Crave highly enough!

We contracted with Crave Catering for our daughter's April 13, 2014 wedding held at the Vista on Seward Hill. While the catering decisions made me the most nervous during the planning stages, thankfully the decision to go with Crave was one of the best we made. Aimee and Kacie were always available to answer our questions and when we met with Aimee for the walk through a month before the event, I knew we would be in good hands. The food was wonderful and we are still getting compliments. Kacie and her staff were so friendly and professional as they attended to every detail and every guest. We really had no worries and could just have fun. Thank you!

They were amazing! They handled everything for me! They were the first group we hired and Meredith was the one we worked with. She helped us find many other vendors who were great. She gave us suggestions for multiple things, not just food. The food was incredible, we got sooo many compliments and everyone ate almost all of it. I wanted stations with certain food, most that weren't on their menu and they did a great job customizing the food and making exactly what I wanted. Their service the day of was amazing. They had so many servers and they were all very nice and catered to our needs. I would use them to cook my food everyday if I could and will 100% use them for my next party :) I do think they are on the more expensive side in Austin, but it is totally worth it. You 100% get what you pay for and top notch service is worth it! They always made sure my husband and me had everything we needed and got us food and drinks whenever we wanted! Highly recommend them!

Meredith, Kacie, Chef Adam, and everyone at Crave was amazing! Top notch, for sure. I planned my Austin wedding from New Jersey, and I could not have asked for a better experience. My wife and I had an initial conference call with Meredith to discuss our likes and needs for our wedding. Then, she presented us with three sample menus and pricing. We tweaked the menu with a few phone calls and emails before finally settling on our menu. My menu was amazing. I even asked for an appetizer that was not on their menu, and there was never even an eye batted about the request. It was very seasonal and fresh. One of the best things about the food was that it was not heavily or overly sauced.

During the event, the staff was unbelievable. They were right where we needed them, right when we needed them. They were great to ensure our families got to go through the buffet first and invited people to the buffet by tables so that the buffet lines were not excessively long and the whole process was orderly. My guests appreciated that. The staff was so responsive to our guests - even going so far as to share their recipe for Mac-n-cheese fritters with my dad!

Overall, they far exceeded our expectations. I can't wait to get back to Austin and figure out the next event that we can hire them for!

We hired Crave Catering to provide the food, beverage & staffing for a small VIP dinner on Thursday night, Oct. 24, and for a one-day conference on Friday, October 25. I had read reviews online and booked with Crave to ensure we'd have a professional caterer that would put together excellent food, would ensure it was displayed nicely, and to provide full-service staffing for the entirety of the events.

They did an excellent job for us. The food was delicious (we received lots of compliments from attendees) - particularly the bbq brisket, sausage, and corn pudding at the Thursday night dinner, and the chicken, beef, cole slaw and salad on our menu for the lunch on Friday. One attendee commented that this food was so much better than typical hotel conference food.

They also provided a range of mini desserts, which were excellent, and an all-day beverage station with coffee, sodas, water and iced tea -- that they ensured stayed refreshed and clean throughout the whole day.

They were very easy to work with and flexible with any small timing or other changes I made onsite. Lastly, all staff were professional in appearance wearing all black with black aprons and black ties, and were very quick and efficient in terms of bussing and servicing the tables.

I look forward to working with Crave for our next offsite event in the Austin area, and would definitely recommend them for conference and corporate catering needs.

Everything about Crave was amazing!!! The food was absolutely delicious, their professionalism was way beyond our expectations, the night flowed so smoothly that if there were any glitches, I never would've noticed because they ran the show!! They answered any questions I had (which was prob about 5x a day!) and they never seem bothered by it!!! Our wedding wouldn't have been the amazing, magical night without Meredith and Kacie. I really can't say enough good things. Worth. Every. Penny.

I just got married a week ago and we used crave for our catering but they were so much more then a caterer. Meredith was our point of contact and she was as helpful as an actual wedding planner. We live in dallas so it wasn't always convenient for us to go to Austin. They made everything so easy and flawless. The food was to die for and that was very important to us, we are big foodies and we definitely wanted people to leave talking about the food. They can basically do anything you ask for. I would recommend them to anyone for any type of event. They are 100% professional, kind, accommodating and overall EXCELLENT! I wish I could go back and do it all again because they made our day absolutely perfect.

We just used Crave for our daughter's wedding and could not be happier! We met with other catering companies but Crave had the most creative ideas and the very best food. Meredith and Kacie were excellent help to us during all the planning stages, inviting us to open houses to taste their food and get an idea of their service, and were very prompt in getting back to us always. At our private tasting, we loved everything and decided on the spot we had to go with Crave.

Our menu included four delicious passed appetizers, a scrumptious full buffet with two entrees (beef tenderloin and chicken diablo), two vegetables, a special salad and bread, as well as a signature cocktail that was provided throughout the evening. We have had NUMEROUS people tell us it was the BEST food they have ever had at a wedding. I agree 100%, and it was just so wonderful to know we were giving our guests such a GREAT experience! Crave was just truly awesome in every way.

That night, everyone with Crave was professional, friendly and courteous. The servers and bartenders were enthusiastic, as if they were really glad to be there. A special shout out to Kacie, our on-site event manager that evening. We had a crisis to deal with during the day of the wedding (weather related and nothing she had any part in causing), and Kacie went above and beyond to help us solve it. She kept a smile on her face, helped soothe our anxiety and assured us that it was going to be wonderful. And it WAS.

That evening Kacie was the sweetest, most helpful person in the world, keeping everything going smoothly, making sure the bride and groom had everything they needed, and doing the same for the bride's dad and me.
She was perfection in her professionalism and management of our event, and did it all with a wonderful smile.

I can't say enough about everyone at Crave, and I will highly recommend them to friends. Thanks again, Kacie and Meredith!

We worked with Meredith right from the beginning, I have to say she was hands down the shinning star of our wedding!!! She went so above and beyond catering, I always felt like she was genuinely there for us as a couple, she helped us make the event SUPER special and yet she was always aware of the budget and our style!

Beyond her personality and professionalism, the food was AMAZING! I had so many people tell us that it was the best wedding food they had ever had! All the staff was so friendly and super attentive.
We had the best, chicken and brisket, mac n cheese, brussel sprouts, salads, awesome deserts and a root beer float stand! Everything was awesome! Oh and homeade margaritas!
The tables were gorgeous and the entire night was a dream, so thank you Meredith and Crave team for all your wonderful work!!!!
We will hands down recommend you as the best caterer in Austin!

We were married more than a year ago and people still rave to us about the food at our reception! Meredith and the staff at Crave were amazing to work with! She thought of and helped with every detail, and truly helped us craft the evening we wanted in concert with our wedding coordinator. We planned the wedding from out of state and Meredith was amazingly responsive with my off-ours emails and very flexible with our constrained travel dates before the wedding for tastings.

On the day of the wedding, Meredith and her crew were there with a smile. There was plenty of amazing food, and we as the bride and groom were provided with our very own servers! Our glasses were never empty and our stomachs and our guests were more than satisfied. We had a pretty wide variety of food stations and each of them was delicious! I still crave the sliders (no pun intended) and have not found their equal at any restaurant.

Of course, there's always a price tag for every event, and Meredith worked with us to find budget-friendly solutions when our aspirations were bigger than our wallets. I sincerely could not be happier with our Crave experience and the wedding they helped us craft. It was the best day of our lives, and the Crave staff helped it run smoothly.

Meredith,
Your dinner was exceptional. All of our guests commented on the fact that every dish was just delicious. It was far and above the best food I have ever tasted at a wedding. We could not have asked for a more perfect two days, and we were blessed to work with you and all your staff. Thank you for helping make our daughter's wedding such a memorable event. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you again, even though we are not in the Austin area that often, and I will definitely recommend you to anyone I know who might be hosting an event near you. We could tell that all of you love your work and go above and beyond to make an occasion special. The bride and groom really enjoyed the "goodie bag" since they were spending the next day and night at the wedding site.
Thank you & God bless,
Lynn

Our guests have not stopped raving about the food from our June 1 wedding! From our cocktail hour to the plated dinner, everything was artfully presented and executed with expertise. Meredith in particular is amazing. She went above and beyond throughout our entire planning process to make sure every detail was to our liking. Her assistant, Kacie, is also a sweetheart (she even went out of her way to pick up items we left behind at our venue to drop back off at her office!). Meredith was there the night of our wedding and made sure everything was perfect. I specifically remember her coming up to me on multiple occasions just to make sure I ate, had water, etc. I love that they sent us home with a gourmet doggy bag full of just about everything we missed out on being the bride & groom, along with other goodies.

I can go on and on all night, but just know that you are in excellent hands if you decide to book with Crave. We had an unforgettable wedding and can't thank Meredith and her staff enough for an incredible experience from start to finish.

Our overall experience with Crave has been terrific. Let's face it - most wedding food is not very good, regardless of location. From the beginning, we felt we had a friend in Meredith Pollard. She worked to give us creativity in the menu, and was flexible and responsive at every step of the way. Her staff is skilled, and our outcome exceeded expectations - not easy considering that the bride (I'm the MOB) has a background in luxury hospitality settings and food and beverage management! We have received many compliments about the quality of the food as well as the service. Oh, and Meredith worked hard to get us good value on our rentals and managed that process expertly. We could not be more pleased.

CRAVE is amazing and I think every bride should hire them. Before my wedding we meet with a few other companies and nothing compared to Leslie and her amazing team. Our wedding was Nov 10th 2012 and our guests are STILL talking about the Mac and Cheese we had at our wedding. Even my husband mentioned it the other day when we were eating at Lucy's Fried Chicken because he had ordered their mac and cheese and he was like "NOTHING compares to CRAVE."

I have a crazy mom who doesn't catch on to things and they were so patient and explained everything about 100 times. Which as a bride is takes a lot of stress off since Catering for most weddings is the most expensive thing plus important thing at the wedding.

LOVE THE TEAM AT CRAVE!!

I could not have been more happy!!! Their food is delicious, their service is impeccable. I was taken care of throughout my wedding and when we left we had a huge bag of food packed in the car with a variety of everything we had. The guests loved the food and we had two different late night bites that everyone were thrilled with. I could not begin to tell you how amazing they are, if you want to be in great hands and not worry the day of your wedding, call Crave!

Can't say enough about how great Crave Catering is. We worked with Meredith and she was amazing. She did an incredible job working with us to get our menu perfect. She is very professional and well organized which made working with her a great experience. She did just an unbelievable job.

The food at our wedding was absolutely wonderful. One of the first things anyone says to use about our wedding is always about how good the food was. Countless guests have told us it's the best food they have ever had at a wedding. The service we had was also top notch. Everyone one the staff was amazingly kind and attentive to our guests.

Simply put, Crave thoroughly impressed us in every aspect

Crave were a great supplier to work with and I would highly recommend them. Meredith was very helpful in the lead up, giving menu suggestions and allowing flexibility to match our budget. Crave also sourced our entertainment for us, a band which had great feedback from our guests, as well as a photograher. Onsite, our contact Lauren was professional and made us feel at ease that everything was taken care of. The food was delicious and overall service impeccable.

I could not have had a better experience with Crave, Meredith was amazing. They were responsive to every phone call and email and helped us craft our menu based on all our favorites....brisket meatballs and chicken and waffle sliders were a HUGE hit...mashed potato bar...tenderloin....warm chocolate chip cookies and milk....we had so many compliments on our food. The staff at our event were so helpful and accommodating, I did not have one second of worry with them. Huge sign: when I worried we needed to add a beverage service, I was told I didn't need it and didn't need to spend the money, speaks so highly of them. I would recommend them to absolutely everyone and anyone.

Our family is composed of "foodies", including bride and groom so to impress all of us with the quality and selections of food was a feat! . Additionally, none of us live in Austin so it was very helpful that Crave was flexible and worked around our schedules. The service at the wedding was very professional. When one of the guests decided to raid the bar of a bottle, the Crave staff quietly returned the bottle to the bar and didn't embarrass the guest or make a scene. They definitely knew how to handle situations in a discreet way. A wedding postscript: Because the crab cakes were so delicious they were gone before the bridal party got a taste. On the couple's first anniversary Crave personally delivered crab cakes (free!) for them and parents to enjoy. Now that is customer driven service! We would absolutely hire them again!

This review is long overdue (my wife and I got married over a year ago), but my wife and I couldn't have been happier with Leslie, Lauren and the staff at Crave for our wedding catering and day-of coordinating. Having good food at our wedding was important to us - even though it was over a year ago, I can still remember what was on our menu: for appetizers, we had a cheese display, crab cakes (which unfortunately were gone by the time we got through with pictures), and quesadillas. For the meal, we opted for a buffet with beef tenderloin with Diane sauce, salmon with a lemon artichoke sauce, roasted potatoes, asparagus, salad, and assorted breads and rolls. Everything was absolutely amazing - the sauces for the fish and beef were phenomenal. You know it’s good when all the extras we ordered were finished off by people grabbing seconds. We didn't order desert from them, but they accommodated all our needs with presenting and serving the wedding cake. What was absolutely clutch was our day of coordinator that Crave threw in as part of our catering (Lauren). Since my wife and I (and our parents) were pretty 'involved' with all of the other planning of the wedding, we felt the 'day-of' coordinator through Crave would be a good option for us. It definitely was the right decision, and Lauren was great in making sure everything was running smoothly on our wedding day. It all turned out great, and we couldn't have been happier. To cap it all off, on our one-year anniversary, Leslie remembered that we never got to try the crab cakes at our wedding, so she dropped off 2 dozen of them for us to have to celebrate our anniversary. Last week, we enjoyed them with our parents, some champagne, and of course our cake top from the wedding. Having my own service business, I appreciate excellent and attentive customer service. Crave definitely takes pride in what they do, from their food to their day-of coordinating, it was all top-notch. I'd absolutely recommend them to anyone.

I'm pretty sure Crave is the best caterer in Austin! Their food is amazing -- the best of any caterer we tasted. We had so many compliments about how great the food was from wedding guests (no really, we did!) Meredith was fantastic to work with: very responsive and accommodating. She walked through every step of the process with us and presented us with tons of options. The service at the wedding was also fantastic. The waitstaff was extremely attentive to everyone but especially to the bride and groom -- making sure we were fed, had drinks, and even food to-go.

After our very first meeting with Meredith at Crave we were sold!! The confidence she instilled in us was the first thing we loved about her and we knew we did not want to look any further for a caterer for my daughter's wedding!! Thoughout the entire process she was amazing to work with and her knowledge of what she does was so impressive!! Once the wedding day came and the food was served we received more compliments on the food and the Crave staff than almost anything else!! We were so happy that we chose Crave; they were a huge part of an amazing wedding day!! Thank You!! Candice

Crave was the perfect catering company for me and my husband. We initially picked them because we wanted to have organic food served at our wedding, and when we found out they used locally grown food as well we were sold! For the year leading up to our wedding I worked closely with Meredith, from finishing up our menu to picking out all the tables, chairs, fabrics and lighting. Meredith was amazing. She made the whole process very easy and answered all of my questions very promptly, sometimes even when I'd email her after hours. We decided to use Crave's day of coordinator service and we're so thankful we did. Lauren was a breeze to work with and made the wedding day perfect. Our other vendors even commented on how wonderful she was to work with. Knowing that someone else was in charge of handling all the hiccups on the day of the wedding made it possible for me to take in every moment. Best of all, our guests LOVED the food and service. I had people coming up to me at the wedding and the next day telling me how they hadn't had steak that well prepared in years, how much they loved the veggies and how moist the chicken was. I kept laughing at how many people mentioned the beets and potatoes. Not something you usually hear people raving about. If I ever need a caterer again, I know where I'm going! Crave was amazing.

Amazing food! Guests said it was the best wedding food they had ever eaten! Leslie and Meredith were great to work with! I even made a last minute special request, which they accommodated beyond expectations. Love, love, love Crave!

If you haven't chosen a catering service yet I can't say enough POSITIVE things about Crave and Meredith Pollard. She was an absolute God-Send and kept me sane through the whole process. She went ABOVE AND BEYOND her duties and even put together the margarita mix so I wouldn't have to pay the bartending service an additional $50 to flip a switch! Their food was fabulous and EVERYONE at the wedding was raving about it! You should look her up if you need an awesome caterer. She and her staff were wonderful! They kept Kelly and my glass full all night, served us our plates first at our table so we didn't have to go through the line, we had our own waiter who tended to our every need, and they even packed a goody bag of food, champagne, and treats for us that Kelly and I took to the airport for lunch the next day! I simply can not tell you how great they were! :) They thought of everything and exceeded our expectations in EVERY WAY!

We can't praise Crave enough for their great food, professionalism, and friendly service. Our wedding was exactly as we had envisioned, and we owe a great deal of the credit to Meredith and the rest of the staff.

From our first consultation through our wedding day, Meredith was fantastic! Neither my husband or I had much of an idea about how to plan this event, and she was so helpful in making recommendations regarding the menu, linens, and various wedding logistics. At our request, she even suggested the band we ended up using (which was awesome!) We felt so comfortable in her capability and professionalism throughout the entire process. We knew we were in good hands. The day of the wedding, she did a great job of making sure everything went smoothly. She even loaded up our motocycle's saddlebags with a nice array of snacks for our wedding night.

The wait staff and bartenders were also wonderful. They couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating to us and our guests. Last, but not least, the food was wonderful (especially the appetizers!) We couldn't have been more pleased with the quality and service provided by Crave and would highly recommend them.

You want a caterer committed to dazzling your guests on your wedding day: choose Crave! Every member of their team went above and beyond our expectations to suggest a creative menu within our budget, execute it with skill, serve it with imagination, and attend to our guests with genuine care. From our first phone call, Meredith Pollard was not only interested in our business, but interested in US--taking time to understand the flavors, the vibe, the variety we were looking for in our menu and overall event. We immediately knew we were in good hands. She easily met all the requirements of our outdoor venue; made smart suggestions about staging, timing, and presentation; and was flexible with every change that popped up and well-coordinated with every vendor we engaged. This was so helpful since we were planning this wedding from a long distance: all phone calls and emails to Crave were prompt, professional, and pleasant. The tasting was delicious party in itself. And on the wedding day, Crave showed up with an A-team of top-notch chefs, servers, and bartenders, making everything flow smoothly and wowing every guest with the range and quality of unusually good food and drink. Every part of our menu--from the oyster shooter appetizers to the tilapia tacos to the late-evening watermelon mojito popsicles on the dance floor--was a huge hit and an amazing value. Meredith overlooked no detail from start to finish: including personal servings and getaway boxes for the bride and groom. No question: for a 5-star reception, count on Crave!

I cannot not rave enough about Crave Catering. Not only is their serving staff and managing staff amazing but the food is absolutely the best ever for any wedding. I just celebrated my wedding in Horseshoe Bay at Quail Point and every one of my guests LOVED the food and were still talking about it 2 weeks later. The staff are completely dedicated and they are truly the only reason I got anything to eat or drink that whole night. Absolutely the sweetest serving staff. I could not have asked for more either out of Leslie Lasorsa, the Manager of Crave Catering. I had no coordinator, and she is definitely one of the main reasons I didn't loose my mind completely before the wedding. She was supper responsive and had great ideas for organization and tips for me to keep everything straight with vendors and rentals.

In one word Crave Catering was awesome. Very impressed with the quality of the food and the service. I was at first unsure if they would be able to pull of Mexican/TexMex food but the taste just blew me away! The Texas Martinis they made were by far the best I've ever had. They were very nice, helpful, and professional. They were great about listening to a lot of the specifics of what we wanted from our food down to our silverware. Highly recommend them.

Crave is AWESOME!!! We had 3 passed apps, deviled eggs, mini mac n cheese bites, and tomato basil soup shots with mini grilled cheese sandwiches. For dinner, we served family style, braised beef short ribs, pecan crusted chicken, scalloped potatoes and green beans. All of our guests kept telling us that it was the best wedding food they had ever had. Not only was their food phenomenal, but Meredith was out of this world amazing. She was a big part of why we chose to go with Crave as our caterer. She is so efficient and knowledgeable about the special events industry and truly understands what it takes to throw a flawless event. She helped us with our menu choices, bar options and met with me at the venue to discuss the timeline and layout. She even hand drew a color coded floorplan of the venue! She took care of so much that evening, and it allowed Josh and I to be able to enjoy our wedding and not worry about a thing. Crave is a fantastic catering company and highly recommended!

A Rave for Crave!

Let me preface this review by saying I am from New York and I have a career in planning. I try not to be one of ‘those NYers’ but it’s very competitive here so as a culture we have an expectation of excellent service and product. Leslie was put to the challenge for my crazy questions, requests, changes, and everything in between and she delivered it. With champagne. I can’t say enough wonderful things about Leslie and her team, she was truly my Fairy God Mother. Planning from afar was challenge enough but it doesn’t help that I’m detailed and Type A. Leslie provided with me all sorts of visuals and then made recommendations based on her expertise. The wedding turned out to be exactly as I had dreamed and she’s the one who made it happen. The décor was beautiful, everything was done so perfectly and with such care. Her staff was incredibly helpful and friendly to everyone. So you're wondering about the food? It was absolutely fantastic (and New Yorkers can be a tough crowd to please, especially on the subject of food). Everything from the sliders, to the salad, to the tenderloin, to the cheesecake lollipops, to the made-to-order chipwhiches were absolutely superb. Our guests did nothing but rave about it.

Every step of the way Crave Catering was fabulous.
Leslie LaSorsa, a supervisor at Crave, is very knowledgeable and helped me select my linens, glassware and menu and handled every detail for me. She was full of helpful hints about how to have a successful event. All of the waitstaff were nice, clean and gracious. The food met and exceeded my expectations. I recieved compliments from most all of my guest that it was outstanding. Crave Catering is the way to go!

I loved CRAVE! They truly are the best! The best advice I can give is to pay the extra fee for the assistant. Everything went perfect for us and Leslie handled every little detail like a pro. The food was amazing. Our guests still pay us compliments on the food. The biggest decision for your wedding is picking your craterer. These guys do it all, and really allow you to enjoy the experience. As soon as our wedding was over, we were planning our next party that we could do with CRAVE!

Crave Catering is absolutely AWESOME! If you are sitting on the fence--jump down and call them IMMEDIATELY!!!! They are the easiest people to work with I have ever enjoyed working with. We told them what we basically wanted, they gave many helpful suggestions, we tasted the food and was SOLD--hook, line and sinker! EVERYONE we came in contact with at Crave Catering was pleasant, professional and ready to assist in any way. Our event was a reception after our daughters wedding in Hawaii and Crave was exception. The set up was beautiful, the servers were the best ever, and we "wanted" for nothing during our party. We ran out of one alcohol that "everyone" seemed to be drinking, so they went and picked up more after checking with me--"Who does that?" Please do not hesitate if you are in doubt. I am a very thorough person and no job was left undone!
Out event went a smooth a silk........ Hint: Try their "Milk and Cookie Bar" everyone LOVED IT! LOVE CRAVE CATERING AND WILL USE THEM AGAIN!!!!!!

Crave is the best. Shannon helped me through the whole process and when price became a concern, she helped me adjust my menu without cutting back on quality. They even came out to the house where I got married to look at where everything would be. Another friend of mine just got marriend in May and also used them. We are talking about using Crave for upcoming holiday parties.

Leslie at Crave Catering helped us coordinate a luncheon this summer for my mom's small wedding with about 35 people in my home. She was so helpful with ideas and recommendations. The chef prepared us a wonderful tasting in the beginning that was actually a wonderful, meal-sized tasting. The food was delicious. The staff was so kind. Everyone at our event asked me who did the catering and raved about how wonderful it was and how beautiful the presentation was. Thank you, Leslie! I have told many people how great you were and am happy to leave this review to let people know that they can count on having a wonderful event if they employ Crave Catering. Best Wishes!

Choosing Crave as my wedding caterer was one of the best decisions my husband and I made at our wedding. Finding a caterer in Austin was not easy for us because we have several food allergies and dietary restrictions and planned our wedding from out-of-state. We contacted 10-15 caterers in Austin, and most either didn't respond to us or flat out told us that they would not work with us. Crave was the only caterer who went above and beyond to create an amazing menu that met our needs, kept us within our price range, and exceeded all of our expectations. Crave was able to design our dream menu based on a list of our favorite restaurants and favorite foods to cook.

Meredith was also great to work with and provided great insight and advice, was always very responsive on email, and made us feel confident and supported in the days leading up to our wedding.

Our guests loved the food too!

I first have to say I got engaged and immediately left 3 weeks later to move to Germany. In 3 weeks I was able to find Crave from their great reviews and they were flexible to schedule a meeting and taste testing, which if you're planning a wedding that timing is incredible! Meredith was wonderful the entire process. The tasting was set up professionally and we had many menus to choose from. Meredith was always available via email and answered our many questions. The day of the wedding was perfect! I felt we'll taken care of and my husband and I never had to lift a finger. Crave made sure they set aside appetizers and our favorite cocktails and served us in a private area right after the ceremony. It gave us 5 minutes alone to soak in the moment and the delicious food we chose! The whole staff was friendly and truly cared about your wedding. Our guest had nothing but good things to say about the food and service!

I cannot say enough about Crave and the outstanding job they did for my daughter's wedding at Villa Antonio on 10/13/12. From the moment we met them over a year ago, the food sampling was great and Meredith....well Meredith was amazing. Once we signed our contract it was several months before the work started. For the last couple of months before the wedding Meredith went above and beyond to help us plan the wedding...the food, set up, time line, everything. She did not hesistate to help out. The day of the wedding, we had to change things a little due to weather and she was outstanding and it went off perfectly! I had guests coming up to me all night telling me how wonderful the food was and how nice and polite and helpful the staff was. I would recommend Crave to anyone for your event. AWESOME!!!! Our wedding was perfect thanks in large part to Crave!

We are from Maryland, our daughter is in San Antonio, and we planned a wedding for Austin - in July - with three months notice. So as stressful as that seems, Crave stepped up to the plate and kept my nerves calm as issues that could have been enormous turned out to be small. They were professional, the food was excellent - our pregnant, vegetarian daughter loved it!

I was not sure how planning a distance wedding would be, but I would highly recommend Crave for any event.

A pleased mother of the bride!

The food was very good. We received many compliments on it and on the service. The only complaint we received was that when someone set their drink down to go dance, the waiters would pick them up and toss them even if they were full. That was costly and we had to send a guest to the store to buy more beer. Other than that it was fantastic and we would use Crave again.

Even down to helping me with my dress for a last minute emergency bathroom break before the ceremony! They even got red and white stripped ties at their oun expense to make the feel pop! I will definitely use them again for parties and recommend them to all I my bride to be friends!

Catering Dream Team!

Crave Catering and Meredith turned our foodie wedding vision into a reality! Food was our top priority, and Crave delivered big time. With multiple hors d'oeuvres, a plated salad, and three dinner stations, our guests were treated to multiple culinary experiences. Their bar services were also amazing. We got a lot of compliments from our guests!

Meredith's menu expertise and flexibility was outstanding. She accommodated changes seamlessly, ensuring every dish reflected our tastes perfectly. To couples seeking a caterer for their wedding, Crave and Meredith are it! They made our day absolutely perfect. Highly recommend them!

We Craved for Texas BBQ

Crave saved the day and helped us have the texas bbq filled wedding of our dreams!! We were able to utilize Crave as our caterer and have them help us in serving La BBQ meats at our wedding, and had Crave's delicious sides and appetizers which paired greatly with everything. Jill was great at making sure our tasting was set up to finalize our choices and worked greatly with us to make sure everything was ordered in the right portions we needed to feed our guests. Everything was delicious. Thanks again!

Leslie and her team at Crave Catering are AMAZING! My husband and I consider ourselves foodies and we wanted the quality and selection of food at our wedding to reflect that.

Leslie was wonderful to work with. We communicated via e-mail and phone and she happily answered any questions we had. Crave invited us in for tastings until we got our menu just right, which we greatly appreciated. Leslie helped us come up with the perfect combination of passed appetizers (bacon wrapped quail bites.... DELICIOUS!) and an incredible 2-protein plate with short ribs and halibut. We had several important guests and members of our wedding party with diet restrictions and Leslie helped us create a menu that was perfect for all guests!

My husband is a brewer and we wanted to include a beer-tasting table with his selection of craft beers from the two breweries he has worked at. Leslie helped come up with a plan to successfully display and serve the beers in our little tasting glasses/wedding favors.

Service at our wedding was incredible. Our guests told us that it was the best food they'd had at a wedding and we believe they truly meant that!

Thank you, Leslie, and your team at Crave for helping to make our wedding the best night ever! We HIGHLY recommend Crave Catering - you won't have to worry about a thing on your big night!!

So glad we chose Crave for our wedding! Leslie was a pleasure to work with over the several months of our planning process. She was very patient with us throughout several rounds of fine-tuning our contract and really helped us with figuring out tons of details - from linens and other service items, to suggesting how much and what type of alcohol to order, and more. The food was the perfect complement to our overall theme, it tasted amazing, and the service from the waitstaff and bartenders was impeccable. We got several compliments from our wedding guests about both the taste of the food (namely that it was the absolute best food they had ever had at a wedding) and about how great the service staff was. If I ever need catering in the future, Crave will definitely be the first phone call I make!

First and foremost, Crave makes some incredibly delicious food. We heard nothing but praise from our guests. They helped us come up with a menu that represented all of the foods we love most in a diverse enough way that even the few picky guests had plenty to eat, and they came up with the most unique and awesome touches. Breakfast tacos as our guests left were a huge hit!

To team at Crave did a phenomenal job at our wedding! EVERYONE was commenting on how delicious our food was- from the beef medallions with the awesome chimichurri butter to the mini banana cream pies at the dessert tables that I am still dreaming about!

The service was beyond excellent. One thing that really impressed upon me was that they sent a huge take home bag for the bride and groom for after the wedding because they consider that the couple often doesn't eat enough at the wedding.

I also asked Crave to make the chalkboards and they looked perfect! Thank you, Crave, for making such delicious food and providing amazing service on what was the most amazing day of my life!

Crave did such an AMAZING job for our BIG day. When I told Leslie that I was a Bride on a Budget, she made me feel like she took it as a challenge to make it happen and never once told me that my budget was impossible, etc. I cannot tell you how many compliments my guests gave about the food---seriously, nothing but rave reviews! I was a very "hands-off" bride and really did not know what in the world I was doing. Shannon was sooo patient with me, gave me great ideas, and even went with me to pick out my linens!! I basically told her what I had in mind and she and her team took care of EVERY detail on my wedding day. SUCH A RELIEF!!! I would HIGHLY recommend Crave catering to anyone who is looking of helpful, honest and reliable people who really make you feel like your day is truly important to them!!!
