  Amazing food!

  Selma is great and easy to work with. We chose to do a brunch menu, and it was delicious! It was still hot by the time I sat down to eat too! The serving staff was all wonderful and friendly. We couldn’t have asked for better service.

  The best in town!

  We used Selma's to cater for our Rehearsal Dinner. I was blown away by the presentation. I had numerous guest comment on how good the food was, and how "pretty" everything looked. If you're considering a caterer in the Lexington area, look no further!

  I cannot say enough good things about Selma and her catering crew. The food was outstanding and beautifully presented. Her staff was kind and courteous. She worked very closely with me to get everything just right. I highly recommend Selma for any catered events.

  If you live in the Lexington area, we would recommend this caterer for any event. The food was awesome, the presentation professional and beautiful. We had so many compliments on the food the quality and the service was outstanding. This is a catering service that you don't want to miss out on for your special event of any kind.

  I just LOVE Selma!!! She did an absolutley wonderful job during the entire process & day of our wedding. She is very flexible & open to new ideas but also did a great job of helping to keep us on track with our budget & helped us prepare a menu that was full of variety. I was very concerned about staying on budget and she respected that fact & worked very hard to get me the most bang for my buck (which I found to be a rare quality after meeting with four other caterers).
  
  Her service staff & bartenders were so very friendly and professional they really made the day even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend at least putting her on your list to meet with but be warned once you meet with her you won't want to meet with anyone else! :)

  Selma was amazing to work with. Not only was her food delicious, the presentation was beautiful. She knows weddings and is very perceptive of the bride's personal ideas. She took care of so many details so that I didn't have to think about it. Her staff was very kind and hard working.

  Selma and her staff were fantastic!! She was accommodating for all of our request and helped us execute everything we wanted perfectly. Everyone was raving over our food at the end and was going up for seconds and thirds when it was all over!

  The food from Selma's was fantastic! All of my guests loved it, I was complimented on my food choices repeatedly. We had two stations one with grilled chicken and masted potato bar and one with tacos and Hispanic items. They staff managed that wonderfully and repeated refilled the items that went empty. They kept a low profile and didn't interfere with the event. Selma was very nice on the first time I dealt with her, I didn't talk to her again after that but the woman I worked with, Lindsay, was great! She was so helpful and answered my questions within the day. She offered me multiple options for all the things I needed and was always ready if I wanted to add more. She really made the experience for me. My last comment is that I gave them a head count of about 10 people more than expected and we had basically no food left because so many people got seconds and thirds so I'd say the consensus was the food was awesome!

  My parents, spouse and I chose Selma's Catering for three different events during our wedding weekend in May 2014, including our wedding reception. Meeting Selma was like meeting a new friend. At our first meeting with her we hit it off immediately. She has a great personality, is lots of fun to work with while maintaining her professionalism. We had meetings with other caterers to discuss our ideas but did not have the same sense of confidence in them as we felt with Selma, nor the same type of rapport. She worked diligently with us throughout the planning process, changing menu items to suit our wishes and offering samples to taste with each change. She took great pride in making sure the flavor combinations were sophisticated and compatible with each of our menus. She was always easy to contact by telephone or email or let us know ahead of time if she was going to be unavailble for any length of time. We had several meetings with her and some of her staff at Selma's Kitchen site. We also arranged meetings at our home, where the events were to occur, in which she brought her head chef so that they could be familiar with the location. Selma made sure that every detail of the menu including how the food was displayed and labeled was reviewed and she followed through with almost all of those discussions and decisions. Asparagus was one item on our dinner menu and Selma used home-grown organic asapargus for this, which she picked herself! She even volunteered one of her staff to make a trip to the liquor store during our reception to purchase more spirits for the very popular bourbon bar. Her staff, although many of them young, all came with broad smiles on their faces and willing to please. Selma herself will remain one of my most favorite vendors whom I met during my planning process, always jolly and going the extra mile. Knowing the evening of a wedding flies by for the bride and groom she sent us a CD of professional photographs of our food.

  Food was good but needed to be served hotter. Good selection and friendly service.
