    Awesome!!!!!

    Being from out of town and not knowing what to expect, I can honestly say I was very impressed. We had dropped off a few decorations and to our surprise, Robin had fixed the room so pretty. The food was delicious and the service was perfect. Friendly and very helpful with all. I would recommend for any event.

    Mulligan's Beach Catering's reply:

    Thank you Marla, it was a pleasure to work with you. I know it was a little warm and fuzzy in the room, but everyone was so understanding and helpful.
    I hope you will stop by and see us again if you are in town. I hope the wedding was a huge success as well! All the best to Allison & Bryan!
    Have a wonderful day,
    Robin Rector

    Food Was A Highlight Of Our Wedding

    Mulligan's was the perfect choice for our wedding, and they were able to cater (no pun intended) to all our needs. We requested a pescatarian taco bar and they delivered! The amazing food was a talking point of our wedding, and months later guests were still raving about the food. I cannot say enough positive things about Mulligan's and Robin.

    Mulligan's Beach Catering's reply:

    Thank you Caroline for the nice review! I hope all is going great!
    I am so glad your guests are still talking about it!
    It was such a pleasure being a small part of your special day!
    I hope you will come by and visit if you are ever back in town!

    Happy Easter,
    Robin Rector

    Best food eva

    I had to plan a long distance wedding. I have never in my life ever hired a caterer, but Robin just helped out so much. She let me decide and gave me directions and suggestions for the best party ever! The food was incredible, they served and cleaned and made us laugh and it was more than we could have imagined! Thank you Robin and gang!

    Amazing caterer and reception spot!

    I can’t say enough wonderful things about Robin and her assistant! They were warm, welcoming, extremely responsive and organized. Though we were coming from out of town, we were treated like family and didn’t have a single worry! The food options were plentiful and it was AMAZING! We still talk about how we miss our wedding food lol and the view of the ocean and Jockeys Ridge at sunset under white lights in the covered patio simply can’t be beat in the OBX! I would recommend them time and time again to anyone! If you’re debating use them, do it!

    Absolutely recommend!!!

    Robin and her team were nothing shy of perfect for our wedding day catering. We met Robin at the wedding expo that OBXWA hosts each year and we immediately knew she was the one for us! She is bubbly, personable and professional. She walked us through the catering menu and helped us pick the combination of foods that aligned with what we had envisioned for our wedding (nothing fancy - pulled pork, chicken and ribs). At one point, I wanted to cross some things off the menu and Robin highly encouraged us not to do it because of how good it was. SHE WAS NOT WRONG!!! Her team set up a beautiful display in the event hone that we got married in. They were phenomenal and the food was AMAZING. Everyone raved about it. As you can tell, I can’t recommend them more!

    Mulligan's Beach Catering's reply:

    Thank you Taylor for your wonderful review!
    Your wedding touched me beyond words! You could feel the love throughout the house all day long!
    I look forward to seeing you in the future the next time you visit the OBX!
    All the best,

    Wedding Food

    Mulligan's did an outstanding job!! They made sure the wedding party got appetizers during picture time (this was a big hit), and they checked on us (bride and groom) multiple times to make sure we had everything we needed throughout the entire process. The food was outstanding and everyone has continued to talk about it! I highly recommend!!

    Very Flexible! Great Food! Great Atmosphere! Great Service!

    We came across Mulligan's as a rehearsal dinner venue after the venue tour as part of the OBX Wedding Expo in January. We met with Robin to discuss our options for planning our rehearsal dinner that very evening. She was very helpful and knowledgeable about all the options Mulligan's offered. We had a very small dinner party (comparatively speaking) and she helped us to creatively reach that minimum. We still had a ton of food leftover but that was to be expected. She worked with us to make sure all the kids had chicken tenders (because we have a few picky eaters in our families). They served calamari "family style" on all the tables. It was DELICIOUS! We had an Italian buffet that everyone raved about that night and the next day. You don't immediately think Italian food when you think of Mulligan's but they NAILED IT! We also had spinach artichoke dip and pimento cheese dip with crackers and bread dippers and that too was a crowd favorite. I cannot tell you how delicious everything was. You would just have to try it for yourselves. Robin was great to work with. Very responsive. They did a nice job adding some decorations to the area which was appreciated because we didn't have any decorations. The two people who helped with dinner service were wonderful. They stayed on top of the drink orders and kept plates cleared. Everything about our rehearsal dinner experience at Mulligan's exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend them!

    Great food - Hassle Free Experience

    We had dealt with one vendor previous to choosing Mulligans. It was a disaster. Couldn't get a timely response. When changes were requested, they wouldn't get done until the second and third request.
    Mulliigans was great. Quick and timely replies. Changes made first time. Correspondence showed us all the information we needed even though we hadn't specifically asked for it. Our menu had a specialty on it that wasn't on Mulligans menu which they had no difficulty in providing.
    Since this was a destination wedding, the timing that was provided to us made it extremely easy to schedule when we needed to get information to Mulligans. This relieved a lot of the stress involved. We had a great experience and the food was fantastic. Would recommend Mulligans to anyone interested in a catered event.

    Mulligan's Beach Catering's reply:

    Thank you Linda for your review! I am so happy that you enjoyed our services from Mulligans Beach Catering!
    All the best,

    Highly Recommend!

    After looking at numerous catering options in the Outer Banks, my now husband and I began to think that having seafood at our wedding was just out of the budget. Finally, we looked into Mulligans Catering and after our taste test we were sold. We found that we could have beef tenderloin, crab cakes, crab dip and more for an affordable price. Before our wedding, Robin was always there to answer any questions we had regarding the catering and helped with every detail including dinnerware. During our reception, the bar service Mulligans provided went above and beyond. They created delicious cocktails and were very receptive to our guests. They consistently came to my husband and myself to make sure we had drinks, appetizers and dinner. I can not recommend Mulligans enough!

    Tasty Taco Truck

    Robin and the staff at Mulligan’s are awesome! We rented their food truck and turned it into a taco truck for our rehearsal dinner with approx. 60 guests – the tacos, street corn and rice were delicious. Our guests absolutely loved the food truck and we all had a great time. Robin was very responsive and thorough throughout the planning process. She even went by our venue a couple days ahead of time to check conditions. I’d highly recommend Robin and her team for any of your catering needs!

    Mulligan's Beach Catering's reply:

    Thank you Deirdre for the kind review! I hope all is going great!
    I am so glad you and your guests enjoyed the food!
    I was wonderful to be a small part of your wedding weekend!
    I hope you will stop by and say hello when you come back and visit the Outer Banks again!
    All the best, Happy Easter!

    Perfect Rehearsal Dinner!!

    Perfect for my rehearsal dinner! From the moment I first connected with Robin she was organized, prompt, friendly and professional. The night of the dinner she came to our beach house and set up a fabulous meal. They were attentive to the guests, serving and busing quickly. We had chosen the OBX Living the Dream Buffet and it was truly a Dream. Amazing beef tenderloin!! Not a single family member was hungry that night!! Thank you Mulligans. I highly recommend Mulligans for an event, rehearsal dinner or wedding!!!

    Mulligan's Beach Catering's reply:

    Thank you Molly! I am so glad everyone enjoyed it!
    All the best to you two! I hope you will come by in the future when you are in town to say hello! ;-)

    Mrs. Evers

    Mulligans did a fabulous job for my son’s wedding. Robin was helpful from the beginning and was always there to answer my questions. The staff was very kind and professional. Many of our guests complimented the food and service. It was a great experience with the Mulligans Crew!

    Mulligan's is the best!

    We are so glad that we chose Mulligan’s as our wedding caterer! The planning process was so easy from the start working with Robin. She went above and beyond with making sure every detail was covered. We had a huge menu to choose from, which they were very flexible with us changing a few times to stay within our budget as well as get exactly what we wanted. We decided to provide all of our own appetizers and dishware, but the Mulligan’s staff still set everything up for us so we did not have to worry about anything the day of. The food was absolutely amazing and we had countless guests comment on how great it was. We also had many guests comment on how friendly all of the staff members were! This is our favorite restaurant to eat at in the Outer Banks, and we made the best choice by having them cater our wedding!

    Mulligan's Wedding service

    Robin was so kind and very helpful. We got so much food for the cost, and it was all delicious! I recommend Mulligan's for any catering! Also Robin is willing a work with a budget so I recommend just talking to her so she can help!

    Mulligan's Beach Catering's reply:

    Thank you Lauren for you kind words in your review! I just loved your tie died theme of your wedding. I wish I could have stayed longer as I am sure you all had so much fun!

    Not only was the food phenomenal, but Robin was so wonderful to work with! She was super responsive and made me feel like she truly cared about our day!

    Best wedding food

    We had Mulligans cater our wedding and it was the best decision we made! We chose Robin and her team over several other caterers because she was so responsive, easy to work with and helped us create a menu that was completely us! Robin was amazing to work with, she even checked in on us the morning of the wedding with words of encouragement, we felt that she truly cared about making our day absolutely perfect. Her and her staff were amazing during set up and provided excellent service to our guests during the wedding. They even served late night snacks out of their food truck, the fish tacos were AMAZING. Our friends and family could not stop raving about how amazing the food was. We stayed a week in the outer banks after our wedding and ate at Mulligans restaurant several times because we couldn’t get enough of their food!

    Mulligan's Beach Catering's reply:

    Thanks so much Jess for the wonderful review! Sorry it took me a little bit to get back with you.

    Booking a vendor without having met them can be a little nerve racking but we are so thankful that we went with Mulligans!! Robin was the nicest and sweetest caterer to work with throughout our tasting, to all our menu changes, ensuring my nut allergy was a priority, making incredible rehearsal dinner, wonderful wedding food, and even running out during our wedding ceremony to purchase more alcohol for us!! (Liquor goes quick at weddings!!) Every single guest commented on how incredible the food was and how sweet the staff was!! Robin and her main man Bryan were amazing hosts and were always willing to do whatever we needed as quick as possible! Don’t hesitate to book them!! They are so worth it and our guests left happy and full!! The leftovers for the week ever went quick due to our family being obsessed with the food (you must get the macaroni and cheese... guests still talk about it to us haha!!) Thank you so much Robin!! You are wonderful!!!

    Hi Becca,

    I know it has been a while since you wrote the review, so my appologys for not responding sooner!
    I have to say I think your wedding was one of my favorites this year! Dan and you were so wonderful to work with leading up to your big day, your friends and family were so nice during the entire event and I loved how you two just glowed all night long! Dancing the night away.... ;-)
    I hope all is well and please come visit me for a hug if you return to the OBX!!!

    We hired Mulligans to cater a dinner at a large house we had rented in Kill Devil Hills and a sit-down dinner at the restaurant for a family reunion of nearly 40 people. This was in July, when just about all the restaurants in the area were reluctant to commit a private room to a dinner, when they are so crowded. Mulligans did provide a private room, and they did a splendid job. The sit-down dinner was served as a buffet, and the food was excellent. Service was accommodating and friendly. The only thing to be aware of is the "private" room is actually a covered deck, open to the outside air. That's very pleasant, but it's also open to a busy street, with the usual noise. The catered dinner was superb. We had guests from all over North America-- as far away as Alaska and British Columbia-- so we elected to have a NC barbecue for them. The pulled pork was among the best I've ever eaten, and I grew up in eastern NC, so I've eaten a lot of that dish. The barbecued chicken was moist, perfectly cooked. And Mulligans provided so much food that we were still eating it for lunches two days later. The staff who arrived with the food were efficient and friendly and got it set up very fast for a hungry crowd. I would certainly use Mulligans again for a party like this one. Ask for Robin. She's terrific.

    Mulligan's Beach Catering's reply:

    Thank you John for the kind words, it was such a pleasure working with you! I hope your travels will bring you back from California to the Outer Banks again in the future!
    All the best, cheers

    Robin handled my caterering needs and requests. She helped me plan with Metro rental and she made sure everything was perfect for our wedding celebration event. Food was excellent, presentation great and staff very helpful. I forgot about a guest that was allergic to garlic and she had an employee bring food specially for that guest. Over and above for sure. I would not hesitate to recommend and would love to hire them for any future events.

    From the beginning Mulligan's was helpful, quick, easy, and professional. I had their food truck for my wedding reception and it was such a hit! They arrived on time, served amazing food that my guests could not stop talking about, and even went above and beyond to bring food around the reception for my guests even though this was not discussed. They quickly realized that my guests weren't all going down to the truck and many of my guests were unable to (wheelchairs, etc.) so they made it a point to make sure everyone was eating and enjoying themselves. I never once had to stop and ask them to change anything or do anything. They packed up all of the food for me and placed it into the fridge, put a bit of food out for the guests to continue to snack on, and mingled professionally with guests when necessary. Every service they provided was fabulous and I was so thrilled with out everything turned out.

    HIGHLY recommend them to anyone interested in a great selection of delicious food, wonderful service, and an easy planning/night of service.

    PS- The crab cakes as an appetizer was the biggest hit with my guests. They will be talking about them forever!
