We recently hired Waiters Choice Catering to cater our son's 1st birthday and it was perfect! Working with the office staff to work through questions, what to order, etc. was seamless. They were very helpful and responsive. When the food was delivered the person dropping and setting up the food was professional and did a great job with set up and explaining each item delivered. The food tasted great and was plenty of leftovers for us to enjoy! Thank you, Waiters Choice for making this party a success!

OMG where do I start? Waiter choice is an amazing company. I order from them all the time for my job. They are always on time, the order is always accurate, the staff is outstanding they are friendly always smiling and the most important part of all they have patients I order for 3 shifts at work over 100 people. I just want to say thank you for your hard work and dedication to your customers! I would most definitely recommend anyone who is reading this and haven't ate there GO! And enjoy a meal!

Waiter's Choice catered my wedding and they did an excellent job. The tasting was delicious and Margie was very responsive and helpful. They have reasonable prices and great food selections. The seasoning was perfect and all left over food was well packaged. I highly recommend them.

My partner and I ordered food for an event through the phone, and everything was perfect! We had two lunches for 15 people each. Both arrived perfectly on time, and everyone loved the food. The fajitas were good and had huge portions for the price. No one was hungry, that's for sure! Customer Service was wonderful, too, and the drivers/caterers were so nice!

We worked with Margie Barnett at Waiter's Choice Catering for our April 2021 wedding rehearsal, bridal party lunch, happy hour, and reception. We wanted southern food that would appeal to a broad audience and they absolutely delivered! We planned our menu with Margie, who had plenty of really good suggestions, and it was even better than we hoped it would be! Margie worked with our event planner (Hospitality Butler Events --- go check them out!) to organize delivery, setup, serving, and cleanup, so we never had to worry about the fine details.

Every single person told us how much they enjoyed the food and a few asked if we had leftovers they could take home with them! We even had a little milkshake bar set up where we served family recipes. Their bar and buffet staff was awesome and exceptionally friendly.

If 6 stars was an option, I'd give them 6 stars. Everything was first class and excellent. From the planning stages through the end of the event. We used them for heavy appetizers and just about every single person asked me who catered the party. The pre-planning was through and Jasmine was very helpful. The ladies who came out to set up the food were professional and made everything perfect. At this point, I doubt I will use anyone else besides Waiter's Choice. They even called me after the event to see how it went!

My wife and I cannot express our gratitude enough to Waiter's Choice for their amazing service during our wedding. Our guest continues to rave about how tasty the food was, and the superb service provided. Katie was amazing to work with, she listened to our request and made the best suggestions. She was always available and made changes when requested always with a mile. Thank you again and we look forward to booking you for future events.

We had the pleasure of working with Katie for two events a few weekends ago and she was amazing! Her and the team were very attentive and professional. They focused on the client's and guest's needs. Not to mention how delicious the food was! If you want delicious, consistent food, and a professional staff for your event, Waiter's Choice is the way to go! Looking forward to working with them again.

Waiter's Choice Catering is BY FAR the best catering company we have ever worked with. They were impeccable with their responses and helping us navigate planning a beautiful party even with government restrictions and guidelines changing by the day! They fulfilled all of our wishes with some delicious food and made our guests feel welcome and safe.

They were beyond professional, perfect in their presentation and went the extra mile to make everything special. We seriously cannot say enough good things about this company and the family that runs it! Thank you, WC!

I used waiters choice for my wedding reception. The reason we picked them to start with because we like it was family business. Then we went for our tasting and met Katie Reeves and the chef and they were very personable and made sure that the food is exactly what we wanted. Then the day of the wedding, it was a backyard reception and the weather was miserable it rained the whole time, Katie and her team did such a phenomenal job.

They didn't complain at all, they walked around smiling they mad sure me and my husband had what we needed, mind you they are running in and out of the rain. They noticed we didn't get to eat and made us plates and put aside for later I mean they really went above and beyond. They really really cared about every little detail to make it perfect for us. Everyone loved the food. I am so so happy with them. I will always use them now for everything I can. I can't thank them enough truly a amazing team.

James and Angela are the best customer oriented, selfless, amazing people. Catering provided after a loss of a family member and we could not have asked for a better set of individuals who truly display the empathy and every other positive adjective in the dictionary. Thank you both so much!

For catering it doesn't get any better. Choices are great and the food is even better. I think they have the best BBQ in CLT. I've used them for work and for personal events. Super helpful and always professional.

I went to a Volunteer Appreciation Dinner for Holy Angels in Belmont Monday night and the food was Amazing. Being Italian bred I am picky about eating it out but their food was delicious and plentiful. Thank you so much you will be hearing from me.

Waiter's Choice is the BEST for executive lunches! I ordered a large tray of sandwiches and sides from this company to provide lunch for about 35 people. The sandwiches were AMAZING.fresh with herbs sprinkled on top. The sides were also super delicious. This is an AFFORDABLE company with GREAT food options and a FANTASTIC staff. Thanks so much Waiter's Choice!

We had an event for about 100 people. Waiter's Choice catered the spread and did a wonderful antipasto with delish prosciutto and cheeses and olives. They also included filo dough cups filled with mini salads, chicken fingers and a spinach artichoke dip. Everything I tasted was incredible. They were prompt, professional and the food was to rave about!

I've used Waiter's Choice for dozens of catering jobs. Mostly corporate lunches at work for 10 to 120 people. I have used their white tablecloth formal setup as well as their express style service. Most recently they catered breakfast 2 days last week and lunch 3 days last week each for 20 people. each delivery was perfectly on time, and exactly what I ordered.

They are always professional and the food is great. in the last week alone, I have eaten their fried chicken, beef brisket, pulled pork, sausage, egg and cheese croissant sandwiches, cookies, brownies and a variety of sides. Keep up the good work, we need more place like Waiter's Choice that understand how to manage good food and fantastic customer service at reasonable prices.
