Long story short… go to a Rocky Top tasting, ask for Carol, book Rocky Top! People absolutely loved the food & let’s be honest… great food at a wedding is important. Guests complimented us on everything from the short ribs to the asparagus… I even loved the balsamic salad dressing. This is what Rocky Top does; provide delicious food from the main course all the way down to the butter for the bread.

Rocky Top catered BBQ our wedding. They were flexible and patient with our ever-changing plans, and were accommodating for our specific needs. I felt like they really listened to us and what we wanted, and they delivered exactly that on the day of! Everything was clean and COVID-safe. Many of our guests complimented the food. The shrimp & grits shooters, mini chicken & waffles, and brisket sliders were BOMB.

We cannot say enough wonderful things about how EXCELLENT Rocky Top and especially, Jeff Besselman, are. We chose Rocky Top before we even finalized our venue because we knew Rocky Top had top-notch food and an equally excellent reputation, but they KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK for our wedding. Our entire experience from moment one was outstanding. Jeff spent a significant amount of time getting to know us in our consult to make sure that our catering selections matched both our personalities as well as the type of experience we wanted to give our guests. He was always available by phone or email and was super patient with our multiple menu revisions. Our guests kept coming up to us during the reception to tell us how amazing the food was and how delicious the cocktails were. They are STILL talking about it two weeks later! The servers who personally attended to us during the reception were always there to make sure we had something to eat, and a drink in our hand. Rocky Top and Jeff went above and beyond to make sure our day was incredible and they far exceeded our expectations. We would give them TEN stars if we could!!

Rocky Top Catering catered the rehearsal dinner for my son and daughter-in-law. We went with selections from the Southland BBQ menu. We had the Southern Fried Chicken, BBQ Pulled Pork and Texas Brisket. Everyone raved about the food and it was all so beautifully presented. Carol Sasseen made the entire process so easy. The staff on site were polite, friendly and professional. I could not be more pleased. Rocky Top Catering knocked out of the park. Thank you!!!!

As a part of the event industry, I have experienced their food hundreds of times and it's always a delight. From quick bites passed on trays, to full, multi-course meals, they are professional and will have guests talking about the food long after the event has passed.
