Kaitlyn Sent on 07/06/2022Tasty food and amazing caterer!
Empire Eats was AMAZING! They were so helpful during the entire wedding process, especially with multiple date changes! They were very responsive and worked so hard to make our day run smoothly. On our wedding day, cocktails and dinner ran so smoothly and they made sure our guests (and us!) were all taken care of. Through EE we were also able to rent dinnerware, linens and extra tables which was super helpful and easy. Kristina and Maria were our main contacts and they were so incredible. -

Empire Eats is the best caterer in the triangle. As a former employee, I found that other wedding caterers didn't come close to the quality of Empire Eats selections and ultimately went with Empire despite eating a lot of their food during my employment. Kimberly and her staff always do a fantastic job! Kimberly even helped bustle the bride's dress at cocktail hour!!
Everyone at our wedding kept commenting on how great the food was. Multiple people asked about the caterer since they were looking for a caterers. -

These folks went above and beyond and were the epitome of professionalism and class. The food was wonderful and all of the details having to do with the food (and drink) were taken care of and we did not have one worry about it at all! We would not change one thing! -

Thank you so much Empire Eats for the amazing food and service!! One of our friends literally came up to us during the reception and said "Where is the chef?!? I need to go find them and shake their hand!!!" We chose the Pit BBQ for food everyone was absolutely thrilled. Not to mention, they did an awesome job serving people at the bar (there was never a crazy long line and we definitely had some drinkers at our wedding!).
People always say you forget to eat during your wedding day, but we definitely didn't because Empire Eats served us our plates directly and the food was too dang good to not devour. We cannot thank you enough! -

Empire Eats was an amazing choice for our buffet dinner at our wedding. We had so many great options to choose from for food - Sitti, Gravy, The Pit, The Raleigh Times, etc. We went with offerings from The Pit. Everyone was raving about the pulled pork and macaroni and cheese! Kimberly was the BEST to work with. She was quick to answer questions and is so sweet and friendly. They offered multiple tastings we were able to go to before our wedding to help ease our decision on food. My only regret is not having time or room left to go back for a second plate! -

If you’re looking for wedding catering in Raleigh, I cannot recommend Empire Eats Catering highly enough.
From start to finish, their team was absolutely incredible—professional, responsive, and genuinely invested in making our day perfect. The execution on the wedding day itself was seamless, and their staff brought such a calm, capable energy that made everything feel easy.
And the food… wow. We went with a pulled pork slider bar and mac & cheese, and it was an absolute hit. The pork was perfectly tender and flavorful, the sliders were fun and crowd-pleasing, and the mac & cheese was rich, creamy, and delicious.
If you want catering that delivers both amazing food and an exceptional experience, Empire Eats is it. They truly elevated our wedding day. -

Nicole Sent on 05/15/2025Good food, poor communication
Empire Eats fulfilled their obligation in providing good food to our guests, and the day-of serving staff was great, but if we were to do it over again we would hope to find someone more communicative and professional, especially for the price range this company charges. We first met with EE 10 months before our wedding. We informed them then that our venue did not have a kitchen and required food to be prepared off-site. They said multiple times that their only requirement was a covered area for serving, which we had, so we developed a menu we were excited about and went ahead and booked.
Everything seemed great until 3 weeks before the wedding when we sent them our venue layout, and they seemed shocked to see no kitchen. They simply responded that this would be a "big problem" and did not offer any attempt at a solution; we found this very unprofessional, making this the client's problem. There was no resolution until we got our venue coordinator involved to explain how other caterers work there. Our coordinator also told us then that she had previously set up 3 meetings with EE where they would have discussed the layout, but they had cancelled on her last-minute all 3 times. We ended up having to make several changes to the menu. The food they were able to provide turned out well, but had we known up front that we couldn't have our original choices and that they were going to put us through this stress right before the wedding, we would have gone with one of the numerous other caterers we talked to that do not have the same restrictions.
