  • Rocky Top is by far the best caterer in Raleigh. We recently used them at our wedding and they were all so kind and helpful, especially our AWESOME event director Vicki who was always available to answer my questions and fix any concerns I had. We had a few original ideas for our wedding that aren’t on the Rocky Top menu, including an incredible beef wellington entree and a crispy pork belly and mini waffle appetizer, and the staff was not only accommodating with our requests, but excited to try something different. They absolutely nailed it and exceeded all of our greatest expectations. I still have guests coming to me and raving about how it’s the best food they’ve ever had at a wedding. I would 100% recommend Rocky Top for anyone looking for an amazing caterer!

  • I just want to say thank you personally to Rocky Top. They are beautiful people with such kind hearts. The fact that they came through for people who were struggling to feed their family during Covid 19 is amazing. I work with bridal parties in the beauty industry, but I was in the category of closed businesses for over 2 months. I will definitely recommend this company to brides that I meet or know. The food was great, and any company with that kind of genuine empathy deserves to be blessed. Thank you! ???

  • Vicki at Rocky Top is amazing. To be clear, Rocky Top as whole was an absolutely amazing partner and caterer for our wedding in April so there are many more people that deserve recognition, but it always starts with the customer service and Vicki nails it. The Rocky Top team was detailed, reliable, and flexible with our catering requests as we planned our wedding, and the day-of service was incredible! Servers were bombarded the moment they walked out the door with trays, the chicken and waffles were a HUGE hit!!! With Vicki at the forefront, Rocky Top will continue to be a top-rated caterer in Raleigh. THANK YOU to the whole Rocky Top team for nailing our wedding day and keeping a ton of northerners satisfied and stuffed ! Cheers !
