    What amazing people to work with! Hometown Chef was amazing from the point we reached out through the end of our reception. First off, they were incredibly helpful, understanding, and responsive to us, especially with us trying to plan a wedding in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic. The tasting was amazing - it was so fun to talk with Tiffany and Julio and the food was incredible. On the day of the wedding, Hometown Chef delivered with awesome food again, bartenders, cake cutting, and they even helped us last minute with pouring champagne for the toasts. My only regret is that they don't have a restaurant for my wife and I to go to so we can eat their carbonara pasta again!

    Highly Recommend Home Town Catering

    From initial tasting to the wedding day celebration, HTC (Tiffany, Donna, MaryAnn) have been terrific. Always professional and willing to help. The buffet table was beautiful with the hammered metal lids on the chafing dishes, the galvanized metal tub for the salad (balsamic dressing is outstanding), along with the extra touches of greenery and natural twig balls. Our guests commented on how they really enjoyed the dinner. Captain (Aaron) and his crew (Anthony, Kelsey and Raiza) were terrific. Very helpful, very professional, very attentive and everything was executed according to plan. The wedding cake was somewhat involved so kudos for the cake cutting too. I highly recommend Home Town Catering.

    Sally, your review means the world to us!! Thank you for being such a pleasure to work with and we are so happy to have been a part of Emma's big day! All our best, Tiffany

    So excited to have HC at my wedding!

    I ended up booking Hometown Chef prior to having my tasting due to COVID, and all of the spring weddings getting postponed to the fall. I was definitely a little nervous about this, but I was in contact with Donna for weeks (who is amazing at responding and answering all of my MANY questions) and ultimately trusted them being a preferred vendor of my venue. I just had my tasting this past weekend with Tiffany and Chef Julio. My fiance and I wanted to include some sort of Korean fusion dishes, and chef was able to do so with our hors d'oeuvres. All of the food had great flavor, and chef asked us for our critiques and took notes to he could make adjustments for our wedding. Chef and Tiffany really wanted to cater us and what we wanted for our special day. Overall, I highly recommend The Hometown Chef and can't wait to have them at our wedding!

    OMG the food was good!!

    The Hometown Chef was great. One of our priorities was selecting the best food vendor. We have been to many quinceaneras and weddings where the food was dry or overcooked so we were trying to find a caterer that would ensure that our food was still juicy and warm. They knocked it outta the park! Their food was everything and more. I loved the food and even got to take a to-go plate for the day after the wedding....OMG. The next morning I microwaved the leftovers and it was still so juicy and so good. Thank you sooooo much Hometown Chef!

    The Hometown Chef Catering's reply:

    Crystal and Benny!!! We just love ya'll and telling the world about our amazing food makes our day! Thank you for letting us be a part of your day! Wishing you a lifetime of love and laughter! Tiffany and staff

    Fantastic chef and caterer. Highly recommend!

    We recently used The Hometown Chef for our wedding on 10/13/19 and I cannot explain how pleased I was with the experience of working with these guys. From the initial consult, which they organized as a courtesy to us super last minute, to putting together the menu and all the changes we had, to executing perfectly the day of, the head chef Julio, Tiffany, Donna, all the staff and everyone we worked with was absolutely wonderful. We had a unique component to our wedding (I'm of Ukrainian background) where we brought in our own appetizers and requested The Hometown Chef to plate all of them and serve (for 20 tables as well as the sweetheart table for us). Not a single issue was experienced throughout our evening and on top of that, all our guests were supremely satisfied with the quality/taste of the food. It was immediately evident when we first met the head chef Julio for the tasting that he knows what he is doing and is clearly gifted at his craft. The taste of the food was a massive factor for us and he delivered in spades. Once again, super highly recommend these guys. They were professional, flexible, Affordable (!), courteous and trustworthy. Thank you so much for what you did for us on our wedding day. It will not soon be forgotten.

    Eugene, your wedding was one for the record books! Thanks for choosing us to be your catering team. We loved working with you and serving your family and friends. Many wishes for a lifetime of love!

    100% recommend. Amazing!!

    If you want people coming up to you during your wedding to tell you how much they loved the food, look no further. You have found the right caterer! The Hometown Chef catered our evening wedding on April 22, 2019. We had served appetizers and buffet. This catering service knocked it out of the park. All the food was moist and fresh, which was even more impressive because it was a buffet. I strongly recommend the blackened Tilapia with Cajun Butter Sauce! If you go with this catering team, not only will you have amazing food and beautiful presentation but great service. For example, when we were taking bridal photos during the guests cocktail hour some of the Hometown staff came over to pass out horderves to the bridal party without anyone asking. Even before the big day Donna and Terrie were amazing to work with. Email communication was quick and efficient. They also made organizing our menus easy and stress-free. They worked with our budget and found creative ways to make things work with no sacrifice to quality. I have nothing but good words to say about this service; friendly, helpful, supportive, just wonderful. If you are considering going with them I say do it! As a bride, I truly valued not having to worry about the food and it felt great when so many people told me how much they loved it. Thank you The Hometown Chef for making my big day so delicious!!

    Great company, great people, great food!

    Hometown Chef was amazing! The staff was so attentive, yet not in anyone's way, or being disruptive in any way. They constantly checked on the Groom and I throughout the night to make sure we got to eat, and had 2nds if we wanted, and even came and found me to experience the smores bar before it was cleaned up. I thought that was very sweet. The planning process was extremely easy with them, and I didn't even give them a whole lot to go on. They just built my dream menu pretty much for me, and even accommodated my gluten allergy with class and ease! Nobody even realized the entire wedding was gluten free! Since this was a big concern of mine about the food for the big day, I think they deserve 10 freakin stars for pulling it off so expertly! I will say, people are STILL talking about the mashed potato martini bar! Not only was it fun, but those potatoes were AMAZING!!! Thank you, again, Tiffany and Julio! You guys rock! And your staff is out of this world!

    Serendipity!

    Tiffany, Chef Julio, and The Hometown Chef team came to our rescue and we couldn’t have been happier! It was definitely serendipitous and I am a firm believer in “meant to be” ...obviously! After things did not work out with our initial caterer, I began to panic because our wedding was only 2 months away. However, my sister is in the industry, and she and her colleagues highly recommended The Hometown Chef. So, we emailed Tiffany and she was extremely prompt in responding to our inquiry and setting up a meet and greet. Tiffany even offered to meet us near our home, which was so thoughtful as their office is quite far from us. She is energetic, personable, and we instantly felt a connection that not only brought us a huge sense of relief but it was then that we knew we wanted The Hometown Chef to cater our wedding. We chose the Tex-Mex menu and the tasting was truly spectacular from the presentation to the intimate conversation we were able to have with Chef Julio and Tiffany. It was by far one of the best meals I’ve ever had and the personal attention from Chef Julio and Tiffany was even better! The enchiladas, chicken fajitas, refried beans, and spanish rice were to die for!! Moreover, it was Chef Julio and Tiffany’s professionalism that left us completely at ease on our big day and we couldn’t possibly recommend anyone higher! Do yourselves a favor and save some time by choosing The Hometown Chef for your event!

    We hit a GRANDSLAM when we chose The Hometown Chef Catering Co. to cater our wedding!!!
    Planning a wedding can be stressful- fortunately the staff at Hometown Chef took any and all the stress out of catering! I loved how easy it was to get along with them, and how friendly they were throughout our whole planning process! I immediately loved that this was a husband and wife team- and not only was their love for each other apparent (and so stinkin’ cute!) but their love for food, and what they do was always present!
    We received SO many compliments from our guests on how good everything was! Everything was cooked perfectly, and served hot!
    When I walked into our first tasting and requested mini hotdogs, (and other ballpark food items to go along with our Houston Astros themed cocktail hour), Tiffany didn’t look at me like I was crazy.. instead her face LIT UP with excitement with the idea! I was sold. Her energy was infectious!!
    I can 100% say that Chef Julio, Tiffany & the entire staff at Hometown Chef brought my vision to life and then some!!!!! The service was incredible, and their attention to each and every detail made this detail oriented bride’s heart go pitter patter!!!
    The communication with Hometown Chef was the BEST! They were incredibly responsive to my numerous questions & emails! (Thanks for putting up with me, y’all)
    Hiring The Hometown Chef Catering Co. was by far, the best decision! We will be forever grateful for all that they did for us on our big day!

    They were AMAZING !!! From our first phone conversation, to our private tasting, to the amazing wait staff, our decision to hire The Hometown Chef Catering Co was definitely the right one. Planning a wedding is so stressful, but Tiffany and her staff took the stress right out of the catering. Everyone at the wedding talked about how nice and professional the wait staff was, and how good the food tasted. We would absolutely hire them again if we had it to do over again. We would like to personally thank all of them for doing such an amazing job and making our wedding perfect.

    100% recommend Hometown Chef! My mom and I went to their tasting and were immediately blown away by not only their food but their passion for the business. Even though we had a small wedding of ~50 people, they helped us create a custom menu and Tiffany was super responsive to my numerous questions and emails. I didn't have a planner at all for my wedding, but Tiffany called the week before going over every detail from setup to the food. The crew that arrived on the day of were great and everything went perfect. Obviously food was delicious -- our guests loved the chimichurri shrimp and mac & cheese! Thanks again!!

    Hometown Chef Catering was amazing! The food was great and the service was even better! Tiffany and her staff went above and beyond for our wedding. From the initial contact, we always felt completely taken care of. They even had appetizers in the bridal suite for my husband and myself after the ceremony. All my husband wanted was the cowboy meatballs! Tiffany made sure he had his fill. I was never worried about the catering. Absolutely amazing!!!

    I used The Hometown Chef for an event of about 50+ people over the weekend, and I couldn't be happier with them!! The food was amazing and we received numerous compliments on the taste, presentation and creativity of the items served (you HAVE to try their Cowboy Meatball)!!
    They were on-time, professional and seamless in their prep and execution.
    HIGHLY recommended!

    Check them out and chat with them and you will be sold on using Hometown Chef. They are down to earth, yet their service and food are professional, delicious and worth the money. They are very easy to work with and have great ideas when asked for them.

    The Hometown chef was first class and most certainly 5 star! I got so many compliments on how incredible our wedding food was. They met every request of mine and made everything over-the-top and elegant! They were very attentive throughout the whole process and made certain everything was perfect!

    From the first time speaking with Jen, she provided us with amazing ideas and great service. The food was amazing and they went above and beyond since the venue was new for them. They set up venue meeting and connected with them so that our day went smoothly. The food was amazing and we were able to customize what we wanted on our menu! Would recommend to anyone!

    The Hometown Chef Catering Co. really went above and beyond for our catering needs. From the moment I first spoke to them to the day of our wedding, I was happy with our decision to go with this company. Our alcohol caterer didn't even say anything to me, but Tiffany walked right up to talk to me, say hello, and make sure I didn't have anything on my dress. She also made sure we were taken care of in line and got us food. She checked on us throughout the night (and not in an annoying way). The food was great and the price was excellent. I highly recommend them and will use them again for any caterer events. I also loved that the costs were told to me upfront. I didn't get a surprise "management fee" like at other places.
