We attended the 2023/24 Rocky Top Catering New Year’s Eve Gala at the Raleigh Museum of Natural Sciences and thoroughly enjoyed every minute. The food was delicious, the drinks were fun and abundant and the DJs and overall atmosphere were great! This was our first year attending the event and we are already planning on returning next year. The staff was gracious and did everything they could to ensure everyone had a great time! Yes, some of the lines for food were a bit long but that is to be expected with this type of event and they moved surprisingly quickly. We never had to wait at the bar for a drink. Oh, and the hot dogs at midnight were awesome. We highly recommend the event and Rocky Top Catering! 🥂👏🏼🎉👍🏻

Just FANTASTIC and to quote the business that I gifted this catered meal, "it was Top Notch!" Not living in Raleigh I wanted to send a gift to a particular business for all they do for my business. I called Rocky Top and discussed my needs. They were so helpful, accommodating, offered suggestions, and helped me give a perfect gift for Christmas. They delivered on time and set everything up! I couldn't be more impressed! THANK YOU!

Rocky Top catered the Jingle Ball for 2023, and I'm just here to talk about the shrimp and grits/short ribs. Good Lord, worth the price of admission alone, these two. If you're an atheist, you'll find religion by the time these bowls are empty. No idea how they catered for hundreds of people and kept it all perfectly warm and maintained the texture and flavors, but they did it. Look at that goodness, I didn't get a picture of the shrimp and grits, but I'm not even remotely ashamed to say that we had a half dozen bowls, each!

Their food is amazing. Since we tried their short ribs, we couldn’t wait till our wedding day to have them again. Also, we went to an open house and had some of their food which is when we decided to use them. I believe we ate about five of their chocolate mousse cups because they were so delicious. They were very helpful during the tasting and were able to tweak some of the menu items to make it more specific to our tastes. Also, Rocky top team was lovely to work with. They were very responsive and answer any questions that we had. Only downside, we were bummed we didn’t have as much left over food for us. Would highly recommend

Thank you for the wonderful service and food for our daughters wedding. What make a great company to me is when there is a glitch they completely work to make it right. We know things don't always go exactly as planned. They were awesome and the food was amazing. Their wait staff and bartenders were alway on top of everything. Thanks again for making her day special. I would highly recommend them to anyone for any occasion.

I got married at the Natural Science Museum and Rocky Top did a great job making sure my reception was set up, keeping in touch, answering all of my questions, thinking of all the little details, and the food of course was fantastic. Haylie was the best to work with. Definitely recommend them!
