Mel's Country Cafe catered two weddings in our family now, mine (8.22.21) and my daughter's (May 2019) and both times they did a wonderful job.

There pricing is very reasonable, a great place to consider for you wedding our next event!! -

Best Wedding Dinner I’ve ever had!
Mel’s has gone above and beyond our expectations for catering our wedding. It was homestyle food done elegant! We first had our tasting at the restaurant where we had multiple choices brought out to us. Everything was absolutely delicious, but we landed on the Chicken Fried Steak, Baked Chicken, Mashed Potatoes, green beans and macaroni and cheese!
On our wedding day, everything was plated beautifully, stayed super warm and fresh and was so delicious! We received an innumerable amount of compliments of the food and were left fighting for the leftovers to take home at the end of the evening! Hats off to you Mel’s, the best choice we could have made for our wedding meal! -

Great Food for a Good Wedding
OMG!!!!! The food was incredible! We went to the tastings, fell in love with the food and booked them immediately. Mel and his staff were great and very flexible as this pandemic rocked my plans. Our count went from 275 to a final count of 130 on the final count day. Since we had already paid for most of the catering we received a refund of the difference without us even asking. With all that is happening, right now we must be appreciative of vendors who not only do a great job but also deliver spectacular customer service. -

Wonderful!
HIGHLY RECOMMENd!! I can’t say enough great things about Mel’s! This vendor was selected for us through an all-inclusive package with our venue and I couldn’t be more thankful! Jeff was awesome to work with- very responsive, personable and professional. He brought me and my husband and my mom in for a food tasting prior to the wedding and ALL of the food was fantastic. For our wedding, their staff was great. The food was delicious- we have received several compliments on the dinner! We are so thankful that we got the chance to work with Mel’s! We will definitely be going to eat there in the future! -

Great Food for a Great Price
Mel's has such a variety of food to choose from, which made it easy to find exactly what we wanted! We were able to choose multiple dishes to schedule a tasting. Everything was delicious, but we found our favorite. The price was awesome, great value! When it came to our Big Day, everything was wonderful! I would highly recommend them to anyone, especially if you're on a budget. -

Amazing food
I’ve grew up eating Mel’s and didn’t even know they had catering until I found them on my venues proffered list! I already knew the food was amazing so I was excited for them to cater our wedding! Jeff is awesome and he helped us so much, I changed my menu a few times cause I got indicisive so he was very patient with me. I would definitely recommend Mel’s, you will get so many compliments on the food! -

So delicious!
I've eaten at Mel's for my whole life and never knew they provided catering for events. When someone recommended them for my wedding I was shocked, but was even more shocked when we went to the tasting. Their catering menu is slightly different and SO good! We booked right away...we didn't taste with anyone else! They absolutely nailed our wedding. The dinner service went so smoothly and it didn't take too long for everyone to get their food. The fajitas were out of this world! They even had to go boxes ready and packed up for the groom and I because they know how hard it is to snag time to eat at your own wedding. Thank you so much, Mel's!! -

Mel's was so good. We had a large wedding, and wanted something that could easily feed a lot of people. We got the chicken fried steak, and our guests are still ranting and raving over how good it was. I strongly recommend! -

I grew up in Tomball, and if you have ever lived there or around the area, you know what Mel’s is. I was blown away to find out they catered weddings, I had no idea! We didn’t hesitate to book them. We had two entrees, country fried steak and chicken marsala with mash potatoes with gravy and greens beans. The food was great as always and everyone was excited for some Mel’s soul food! Mike took care of everything for booking and was quick with any communication. -

You absolutely can't go wrong with Mel's. The food, service, and price are all excellent. They have served at a number of weddings and functions that I have attended and have never disappointed. An extremely versatile catering menu has so much to offer. Tammy always makes sure that the service and presentation are great. As a fellow vendor I always recommend them to by brides. -

I have been to several weddings that had Mel's as their caterer -- so I fought hard to get them for my daughter's wedding. I am so glad I was able to have them - the food was delicious and the servers did an awesome job! They are so flexible and work with you regarding your payments... I was so thankful for that! Jeff and Tammy were so great! I would highly recommend them! -

We had Mel's Country Café cater for the wedding and we could not of been happier with the southern home cooked food Jeff cooked. The tasting session was a perfect opportunity to taste the entrée for our wedding day. Our guests and I were very happy with the food with some venturing back for second helpings! -

Best food ever!! We eat there all the time so it really wasn't a huge decision on catering. We did look around a bit and ended up back at Mel's. I didn't have a lot of time to devote to the planning but Tammy was on point. The food was great, the service was great, and everyone loved the non-traditional. We had chicken fried steak (or chicken), green beans, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese (for the kids) and salad for 200 people. Later in the evening my dad went to give them a tip and they had cleaned up and gone. It was like they had never been there in the first place. If you want GOOD food and GREAT service you can't go wrong, call chef Jeff! -

We used Mel's catering for our wedding. I was a little apprehensive at first since it isn't your typical wedding catering but I was so wrong. The food is absolutely amazing which is all that matters. We served cajun chicken, brisket, etouffee, loaded mashed potatoes and green beans. Everyone raved about how good the food was-which isn't common at weddings. We had some guests who were vegan so Mel's did some vegan plates that our guests loved. I have no complaints and would definitely recommend them to anyone! -

We did fajitas at my wedding. They threw in chips and salsa at no extra cost. They provided plenty of staff to help serve us. They were very responsive and were flexible when we changed the number of guests a few times at last minute. Great company to work with! -

We were more than pleased with the service provided by the staff at Mel's and Jeff the owner. We were nervous like any couple on their wedding day but Mel's definitely helped take care of that! Not only was the food there exactly on time and ready to be served, it was also AMAZING! Everyone had a great comment about our dinner...."The mash potatoes were delicious and the gravy,Wow!"....."Never have had a tastier chicken breast!".....everyone loved it, even my grandma! Thanks Jeff and Mel's we will be reccommending you! -

We are so glad that we had Mel's cater for our wedding reception! The prices were great, and the food was delicious. We had feta and spinach stuffed chicken breasts with seasoned vegetables and roasted new potatoes. Our "taste testing" experience before booking them was delightful as well. The owner, Jeff, was great and let us come in to taste test multiple times because we couldn't quite make up our minds. The only reason I scored them with a 4/5 in the professionalism category is because my wedding planner didn't have a chance to give the servers our final check for the evening, so she brought it to the restaurant personally three days later while we were still on our honeymoon. When she arrived, the employee helping her could not find record of our catering order at all for some reason! My wedding planner waited for 30 minutes before the employee said she would need to come back the next day when Jeff would be in, as he would know about our order details. Of course, the next day Jeff DID have our order information and apologized profusely for the confusion. That whole thing was a bit odd and unprofessional. HOWEVER! That could have been specific to that particular employee not being very informed or new or something? As I said, we were VERY pleased with Mel's Country Diner and would absolutely use them again and again for any future events with catering needs. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. -

Large portions
We did a tasting with Mel's cafe and the owner is really nice. He made the food fresh for us and they weren't just small samples they were huge portions. The food tasted great also! The only hiccup was mix up on scheduling the tasting, He thought we were coming the following weekend when we booked for that weekend, but he fixed it and helped us out anyway! It was a nice accommodation. -

Mel's Country Café catered my wedding and the food was warm and delicious as always! The weather wasn't the best and they were a little late, but still arrived in plenty of time. My guests complimented the food and were all very pleased with what they were served. They are EXTREMELY budget friendly. I had 175 people and was only charged $8.25 per person, and no one else can beat that price for the quality!! We love Mel's Country Café and there catered food tastes exactly like it does in the restaurant! -
