My husband, family, friends, and I are still talking about how amazing EAT Catering was at our wedding. From the food to the service, they are 10 out of 10. In addition to passed appetizers, we did a buffet style dinner, mac & cheese bar, and a plated salad to start, and it couldn't have worked out better. Cocktail hour and dinner went so smoothly, and everyone loved the food. We had a couple people tell us they kept going up for more! The process from the initial tasting, to booking to final decisions to wedding day was so easy. I worked with Sheila mostly, and she was a pleasure to correspond with and always had a smile on her face while at the wedding. All the servers and bartenders were attentive and professional. My husband and I also liked that we could provide our own alcohol and EAT Catering had a mixer package, so we didn't have to worry about all the little ingredients. I gave the recipes for our 3 signature drinks and let them know what liquor we got, and they took care of the rest. The drinks were all so good too! We had a guest count of about 90 and there was plenty of food for everyone plus leftovers, which were enjoyed as after wedding late night snacks and for a couple meals the next few days! We learned pretty quickly that catering costs can get quite high, EAT Catering has very reasonable prices and many different options to fit most budgets and when you take into account the quality of the food, service and experience, it's one of the best values out there. After the wedding, my husband said, "can we have EAT Catering cater every single event from now on?" 100% recommend!

We booked EAT Catering for our wedding and loved them! The food is amazing and the team of people are so so sweet and caring. Shelia and her team will make you feel so special and we loved the picnic basket they packed for us to take home after the wedding. Shelia was there to answer any and all questions we had throughout the whole process. We did a Buffett for our catering and the food was hot from the first person being served all the way to the last! The steak and chicken were cooked perfectly and we keep receiving compliments from our guest about how great all of it tasted!

EAT was recommended by our wedding venue, Fairview farm! They were excellent to work with and the food was delicious. Together, we picked such a fun menu and everything came together so nicely! Our guests loved the hot chocolate and coffee bar they put together, the soft pretzels as a late night snack, and of course the bar! EAT rolled our silverware with rosemary, cinnamon, and jute and it was such a perfect touch to our Christmas theme. Everyone on the EAT team was professional and easy to work with.

OK this place is amazing. This is the first time I've eaten here. Idk why I haven't eaten here before but I'll def be back.
So they have soups, salads, sandwiches, sides, drinks. Basic stuff but the taste is ANYTHING BUT BASIC OR ORDINARY.
I got the Brunswick stew which you can get in various sizes like a cup, pint or gallon and you can get it hot or cold. I got a pint of BRUNSWICK STEW and I ordered it hot. Came out lukewarm which is disappointing but the taste of this stew was so magnificent that I really didn't care all that much about the temperature. Would have been that much better hot though. Just saying....
I got a croissant and it was flaky and tasted super fresh. It had a flaky buttery rub or glaze of some sort on top which made it tasted buttery, flaky and delicious. It was so good I could eat it everyday and honestly when I was eating it, I didn't want it to end. I should've taken smaller bites and savored it more. Well.....there's always next time. I'll def be back for more.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - John P.Tappahannock, VA87Sep 5, 2022
Rachel and Trey catered an event for us. The chicken and pulled pork BBQs were tremendous. The sumptuous array of side dishes were equally as tasty. Communications leading to the event were timely. Rachel worked with us to provide gluten free and vegan options. She and Trey were professional and friendly when serving our guests. We could not be happier with our catering choice!

I had overlooked this little place for many months, but after trying their lunch sandwich, I will revisit often! Had a club sandwich which is big enough for two, and an Italian sub - both were delicious! With many choices of breads, cheeses and add-ons, customize any sandwich the way you like. I especially liked the sweet peppers on the Italian sub. Gave it a nice flavor twist.

EAT catered almost all meals for our wedding weekend at Lake Anna and it was above our expectations. The food was AMAZING, with great portions provided. The deliveries were very timely and the staff was so nice and eager to help set up. We would definitely use them again and recommend to friends and family.

Sheila and her team at EAT did an outstanding job for our Christmas event. She worked with me closely to plan a complete menu and her crew prepared and presented the food perfectly. I highly recommend using this great group to take care of your meal needs for meetings and events.

This is BY FAR the best box lunch I've ever gotten at work!
The portions of the sides are more than generous, too, which is good because the sides are delicious!
I got the chicken pesto sandwich that came with potato salad, fruit salad, and a lime bar for dessert. There were condiments and a mint in the bag.
Everything was VERY high quality, and there was a really nice attention to detail.
I will absolutely order from EAT again.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0
