We hired Rolling Chef to cater a 90th birthday party for 30 adults and children held in a private home. Planning was easy, Chef's wife is friendly and knowledgable...easy to work. Changing number of servings was handled pleasantly, with no hassles. Good communication all the way through. Chef and wife arrived on time, arranged food on counter...it was ready to be served, well presented. Food was very good. We chose the bacon encrusted and stuffed pork tenderloin w/wine gravy, risotto, green beans/carrot medley and a fabulous peach cobbler. The children had chicken tenders with macaroni and cheese. Portions were generous. Adults and children alike finished off the chicken tenders with rave reviews for the macaroni and cheese! Plenty of food for all, compliments all around. Food was brought in disposable containers, making clean-up a breeze. We were very pleased with all aspects of our service. Leftovers are great too! Excellent value, food was great, we will use Rolling Chef Catering again.

Chef Rick responded to our request for catering services for a special situation. We wanted to provide meals over the course of four nights for a family who had just lost their father. Chef Rick and his wife not only prepared delicious meals for each evening, but personally delivered them. The family was so moved and so thankful. I highly recommend Rolling Chef Catering and will definitely be contacting Chef Rick again in the future.

Chef Rick has delivered 5 meals to my home after we interviewed regarding my tastes and my health needs. portions were sufficient for 2 or 3 meals with a good balance of entre with made from scratch fresh veggie castoroles and wonderful desserts. Chef Rick showed that he listens as I had told him that I find most Texas commerically prepared meals to have too much salt compared to my Alaska/Northwest tastes. great generous meals tom

Chef Rick and his wife were absolutely amazing to us!!! They catered our daughter's first birthday and everyone loved the food. Not once did I stress about the catering because from the beginning they were very communicative. The food was warm and they were on point with delivery. I highly recommend the baked potato platter. It was the hit of the party. I also highly recommend Check Rick's services for any event. I loved how they treated our daughter's first birthday of 40 people like a grand event. Thank you so much, Chef Rick and Brenda!
