We used Pappas Catering for our wedding (specifically Pappasito's) and would definitely recommend their services! Communication was great and everything was extremely organized. Lots of guests complimented the food and service - we had chips & queso for cocktail hour and chicken & steak fajitas for dinner. My only cons - I was told that not everyone was served chips & queso at the HH and not everyone/every table was served cake after dinner. So maybe something to make a point of discussing when making preparations. Pappas Catering does include cake cutting & serving in their catering. 9/10 would recommend.

I hired Pappa's Catering for my wedding and it was perfect! I had one wedding guest say the fajitas were "the best dang fajitas I've ever had". They grilled on-site so everything was fresh and tasted amazing! I had several guests tell me the staff and bartenders were phenomenal and the buffet line didn't take long at all! If you need fajitas and all the fixings plus great catering staff, look no further and have Pappa's!

We chose to have Pappas Catering for my wife's birthday party here at the house. From the beginning, Julianna did everything she could to make the day special - even adjusting the published menu to accommodate our special requests. When the cook team showed up, the team was professional and took every opportunity to ensure that the party flowed well, everything was decorated for the event, guests never had to lift a finger as everything served, removed from the tables when finished, cleaned up, and left the house exactly as when they had arrived.
In fact, I received many comments from the guests that Pappas Catering had exceeded their expectations also. Although cost was higher than having it at the restaurant, the service paid for itself in dividends. Thank you, Pappas Catering, for exceeding all our expectations and helping to make the event great!

Our company can't thank you and your staff for another wonderful company Christmas Party. We especially would like to thank Megan for pulling out all the stops and making sure we had exactly what we wanted. The staff was as always friendly and professional. The only quiet we had was when we were served our delicious menu. We couldn't get enough. The venue was a sparkling reflection of the Christmas holiday; with all of the twinkling lights and the beautiful decorated Christmas Tree. This is why our company keeps coming back.

Megan and Juliet with Pappas Catering were absolutely fabulous! We had a lot of last minute changes and they definitely pulled through in a clutch! We have used them for several events and the service (as well as the food) is always A-1! From the moment they arrived at the venue, they showed care with getting our event set up and ensuring our guests were comfortable with the setup. They cooked the food on site and many of the attendees remarked that the veggies were fresh and the steak fajitas were like butter! We will definitely continue to use them in the future!
