The Tastiest Caterers in Austin

House Park Bar-B-Q

★★★★☆ 4.1 (103) • $$

"House Park BBQ serves up some of the best barbecue in Austin. Great brisket, chicken, pork loin, ribs, and sausage. The brisket is tender and smoked to perfection. They are serving brisket tacos on Fridays now, and they outstanding, especially with the smoked tomatillo salsa. Really recommend trying some Q from the oldest pu in Austin."

Crimson Creek Smokehouse

★★★★★ 4.6 (74)

"Stopped by for a brisket sandwich and a baked potato topped with pulled pork. Both dishes were scrumptious and seasoned to perfection. The place has a cool vibe, resembling a revamped food truck parked next to a vodka distillery that also sells some merch. Generous portions and the friendliest staff you could ask for. Plus, scored some free stickers! Highly recommend!"

Lotz of BBQ

★★★★★ 5 (5)

"This place is amazing, I am so sorry to hear that your trailer was stolen. I know you'll be above this and be back in your feet again in no time."

HurryBack Catering

★★★★★ 4.5 (25)

"I love love love this place, everything we ordered was made with love and we can tell! The owner is amazing! Do not sleep on the grits they are the best I've had!! The shrimp was made to perfection not over cooked and the boudin balls were scrumptious and ever so tender my son fell in love with the wings and catfish paired with the red sauce. My husband was addicted to the catfish with dirty rice. And man that po boy was so soft and flaky #hurrybacknow"

The Wolf House

★★★★★ 4.5 (2)

"At Creative Mornings getting my monthly taco / caffeine / inspiration on and was pleasantly surprised to be introduced to the cute venue that is the wolf house.We sat outdoors for what looks like 150 with some overflow (maybe 50) and it didn't seem crowded at all. It had that intimate feel while also being able to accommodate a crowd of appreciable size.The location is in the heart of the classic Austin east side. Off the major artery (Cesar Chavez) and comal.Parking wasn't bad either which was surprising. The neighborhood was able to absorb all the cars and we only had to park a block away.This would be a great venue for an intimate wedding or a smaller corporate event or slightly larger party."

Bohemian Barbecue

★★★★★ 4.8 (30)

"5 stars to the food.. and the staff. Let me start out by saying that I have used Bohemian BBQ for work events. They have catered birthdays and other personal events. Consistency is key -- and they hold it. I have been to other BBQ joints around town ( not knocking any of them) who have wonderful BBQ-- but go back again and it's awful, then again and it's good. I dunno. Anyway- each time I have had the pleasure to feast on their outstanding food- it has been a solid meal every time. I am from Memphis- which means Pulled pork is life. Right? Thought so. - Their Pulled pork is signature as most places in TX don't offer it. Get it on a bun or even better- ask them to put it on nachos. -slap your momma- So good. To continue- I am loving brisket more and more. Tender- juicy and full of flavor. They will even sell you an entire brisket ready to go. The only item I have not had on their menu is their Mac-n-cheese but that is only because according to everyone in the US "You are a communist "for not liking Mac-n-cheese. Sorry for not being sorry.To sum things up- it's great. Try it. In addition- the staff is top-notch. Lance, the owner, is very kind and community-focused. He always has a smile on his face and is willing to step in and serve his wonderful meats to the masses. *** Update- Since SXSW was canceled this year, Please consider booking Lance and his Team of BBQ ninja's for your next event."

Louie's Craft BBQ

★★★★★ 4.6 (273) • $$

"So this is a food truck and they have a cute little outdoor seating area. They were so nice there and you want to recommend. Also very polite they would tell you thank you and you're welcome for anything which I found very appreciative of them.We got a mix of meats. Also, some sides and it came with pickles, jalapeños, and pickled onions, which were phenomenal. In my opinion that they should sell these pickles by the jar. I will say the ribs were delicious the meat which is fall off of the bone. The brisket was so good and they were very thick slices. I have to say the sausage is OK was a little dry for me but the seasonings and it was good. We also got turkey breast. I didn't try it, but my friends said that it was really nice and smoked flavored. As for the sides, we got the mac & cheese, which was really good tasting cheese, but I do feel the mac & cheese needed a little bit more flavor. This street corn was good and very flavorful. Lastly, they do give you barbecue sauce. It was sweet and tangy, which was really good. I am more of a spicy barbecue person. I don't know if they had any since I didn't ask, but that would be my only consideration having a spicy barbecue sauce.I would definitely go again and try one of their sandwiches and other sides as well so definitely if you're in the area I would go check them out because they are really good barbecue."

NeWorlDeli

★★★★☆ 4.3 (418) • $$

"Good food, yet a bit pricey for the Club. If had seen the price point for this, may have gotten another option but counter menu didn't have prices displayed. With that in mind, it was flavorful and presented well. The soup was also good. A nice environment to eat and hang out while relaxing. Unique place and look forward to other options that are more aligned with price point."

Little Nishi

★★★★★ 4.8 (35)

"Words cannot describe how delicious this meal truly was. Huge shoutout to Joel for the suggestions and for putting together this amazing platter of food! If you're skeptical about eating sushi from a food truck, don't be! Everything was so fresh and flavorful, I'm definitely looking forward to going back for more."

Firo Fire Kissed Pizza

★★★★☆ 4.1 (179) • $$

"If you are looking for a quick easy meal, this place is it! Their fig prosciutto pizza is AMAZING and one of my favorites, but I also love their other pies as well! 10/10 recommend."

Jimmy Vega's Smokehouse

★★★★☆ 4 (145) • $$

"I've been a fan of Jimmy Vegas for a while now but was super glad to see them participate in the Two Step Inn Music Festival in Georgetown. Their entire menu is lovely and at a music festival, obviously they pared it down. I almost got the Brisket Mac and Cheese which looked creamy and delicious with the quality we've come to appreciate from Jimmy Vega's. Instead I selected a Smoked Turkey Leg and I'm so glad I did.We've all been to fairs and festivals offering smoked turkey legs and what you get is generally dry, flavorless, and more bone than meat. NOT THE CASE HERE! This thing was HUGE. I ended up pulling the meat off the bone and using the foil from the leg end to save it for later in the day. The meat was perfectly moist and tender and oh so much flavor. My only regret was not snapping a photo of this meaty perfection but take my word - it was awesome.The only "complaint" I have was that their smoked bacon was not on the festival menu because let me tell you, that stuff is amazing and I'll definitely make a trip to get some from their restaurant soon. Even after a "less than perfect weather" weekend, the staff working the booth was the same high-caliber I've come to know from their restaurant - the cashiers were friendly and inviting and those working behind the counter looked like a well-oiled machine working in very tight spaces."

Mr. Pimento

★★★★★ 4.6 (27)

"First time trying Jamaican food and I for sure will be eating it again very soon. Super cool and friendly environment and the owner legitimately cares anoyt the food and service he is providing and i loved that. Drove from Round Rock and it was worth the drive. EVERYTHING we had was amazing. The jerk chicken was moist and fall off the bone good! Jerk sauces were fire!! But my favorite had to be the green sauce. Plantains go great with the seasoning and spices from the chicken!!! Rice was my favorite tho. Thanks man we'll be back. Thank you for the bday wishes. FROM THE PATRICKS"

Countrymen's Patriotic BBQ

★★★★★ 4.5 (8)

"Omg this place is SOOOO good! Yum!! I love everything that I have tried. The rub I bought and use on everything u cook!"

Texas PO' Boys Food Truck

★★★★★ 4.8 (12)

"Yes, I'm giving a food truck 5 stars here's why:I have seen from other events around New Braunfels that this truck always has the longest lines. They serve unique sandwiches, tacos, burgers, and Texas Po Boys. Well, it is their own twist on the New Orleans favorite, but instead of using French bread, they use buttered grilled Texas toast.Believe me, being from New Orleans, I had my doubts but it works. What really makes a great poboy, even in NOLA is the combination of meat or seafood, great bread, lettuce tomato, pickles and onion optional--and a great sauce like remoulade, mayo, or roast beef gravy. The lettuce must be shredded, and the tomato must be sliced not diced. She (Ronda) the friendly owner with excellent customer care skills has created so many sandwiches to even name them. Go to their FB page. One sandwich I was going to try today was like a Nashville hot chicken on Texas Toast--too hot for me. I selected the regular chicken poboy, which came on perfectly grilled Texas toast, shredded lettuce and tomato, and maybe onion. It had a sriracha mayo they call "angry sauce."The three large whole filet tenders were real chicken battered and seasoned perfectly with Cajun seasoning. The chicken was moist and paired perfectly with that angry mayo. The lettuce and tomato was fresh. They make their own potato chips on the truck, and they went perfectly with that sandwich. I certainly couldn't eat fries with that Monster sandwich for $8. There are other Cajun type trucks in this area, but I want to work my way down this menu, which is ever changing. This owner is talented, humble, loves cooking and meeting new people.Look for this truck in the New Braunfels area."

Maudie's Café

★★★★☆ 3.5 (351) • $$

"This was my first time here and I can describe it as the Telmex place you bring your picky parents to. I prefer other establishments but I can't Faulk this place as they are busy and very courteous to their patrons. Chips and dips, trifecta, were not the best but again it is your parents (out of town) version of what Tex mex would be.Drinks were good and they had something for everyone. It seemed like a mix between a Chuy's and perhaps a Don Pablo's but the locals were lined up with to go orders the whole time we were there.This is a place for families and large parties. I sat at the bar and watched the game while I awaited my relleno which I've had better but I compare a business to itself and I found it to be good.So if you want original Tex mex I'd say this isn't it but if you have a large group who has different ideas of Tex mex then this is your place!"

Smokin' Brew-B-Q

★★★★★ 4.6 (65) • $$

"Smokin' Brew-B-Q is an easy 5 stars. I worked with Nick to cater a work event and he did such an amazing job. He was super responsive, helpful and even accommodated a last minute date change without jeopardizing the integrity of his food. You can tell he's passionate about what he does because it shows in the food.We had trays upon trays of tender, smoked brisket, pulled pork and beer can chicken. The mac & cheese, beans and coleslaw were wonderful sides and we topped it off with some decadent banana pudding. Everyone loved the food and everything was cooked perfectly. Smokin' Brew is very reasonable priced and the BBQ is top notch. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them or use them again in the future."

The Smoking Carrot

★★★★★ 4.9 (7)

"Tasty and fresh. Had the salmon bowl from the bike race in Webberville. Hearty and flavorful. Smoked salmon and pickled veggies (onions, carrots, cauliflower) on a bed of grilled corn and Cous cous can't be beat."

Oye Taquito

★★★★☆ 4.3 (101) • $

"Popped by this food truck while I was in Austin and it definitely hit the spot! The mini tacos were so cute and also super delicious. They may look small but they are packed with flavor and meat so they were pretty filling. The quesadilla was also super delicious with the best cheese pull.If you're looking for a delicious taco/quesadilla spot especially one that open late, you can go wrong with this one. It did take a little longer for us to get our food even though there weren't many people but it was worth the wait!"

The Salty Donut

★★★★☆ 4.4 (444) • $$

"My friend and I had dinner nearby and decided to get our dessert from The Salty Donut afterwards--great idea! We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and was greeted right away. I was pleasantly surprised they still had a good selection of donuts.The Salty Donut offers a fun variety of donuts such as horchata, Texas chocolate sheet cake, gingerbread french toast, and more. They also have a coffee bar. I opted for a mix of donut holes as well as a churro dulce de leche donut. I highly recommend getting a mix of the donut holes to try a variety. The churro dulce de leche donut was also fantastic. It had a creamy filling inside that was not overly sweet.The space is warm and inviting. There's ample seating if you prefer to enjoy your donuts and/or coffee inside!"

Lard Have Mercy

★★★★★ 4.5 (41) • $

"Chris, the owner, is a young man who knows how to run a business. The menu is short and simple. He was open in talking to me about his food truck business and just a friendly guy. He was partially out of chicken to make a full order and sold it to me at a discount off full price. The chicken tenders and fries were great and servings were much larger than I'm expected to getting from food trucks. I expect him to do well in the future.P.S. Drinks are just $1"

The Smokin' Rose Taco Joint

★★★★☆ 4.4 (29)

"Ok y'all, who doesn't love a food truck and bar pairing?!Katie B and I recently went to Latchkey to have yet another nightcap bevvie and we decided it was time to grab some food so whilst at Latchkey, we decided to order a few items. Me being on a "See Food" Diet, decided it couldn't hurt to taste a few items alongside our Electric Jellyfish IPAs.We went with the Mexican corn dogs, chips and queso, and al pastor street tacos. The al pastor was so tender and flavorful! I loved how they actually had grilled pineapple on it. Makes a big difference tbh. The chips and queso was solid and another great rec by Katie B of course.What really stood out to me though was the nostalgia of the Mexican corn dogs and what I had as a child. A simply dish but if done incorrectly can really make you give a sour face. It's super easy to over burn them or make them too dry, but I was smiling like a ten year old at grandma's house. I'll definitely place another order again when I'm back at Latchkey!"

Flavia's Kitchen

★★★★★ 4.8 (123) • $$

"Wow wow wow! I ordered bacon and egg breakfast tacos and was so glad - they were tasty and only $5 for 2! The salsas really added a great flavor - both the verde and roja had a kick but the roja was definitely packing more heat! The breakfast tacos were so good I went back and got the chicken tinga tacos. These were even better! The chicken was so tender and moist and the toppings were fresh. I wish I could eat these everyday. Especially since the food was so affordable. I also tried the chicken tinga burrito and it was just as good and came with rice, beans, and a salad. The ladies working were also super kind! Very helpful and pleasant. Much love to the crew - amazing food and service! Hope this place is open for years and years to come!"

Curry Up Now

★★★★☆ 3.6 (160) • $$

"Food was delish!! Portions are super generous too! The flavor was giving and the spice was on point!! I love Indian food and I love spice but I don't like it to over power my food... this spot got it just right!Service was pretty quick for a lunch time stop in... it took just a minute to take my order but it seemed liked the crew may have been catching up as I walked up...For an Indian "street food" stop I think the price point was a little high but it's expected in Austin these days... I didn't mind the $20 bowl, I took plenty home and the food was really good!"

My Granny's Kitchen

★★★★☆ 4.1 (82)

"Cooped up in an office with non stop meetings from 8:30 to 5, and just a 30 minute break at lunch. But lordy, there's a soul food truck outside today, and in a few minutes I'm back in the next meeting, but now feasting on meatloaf, collard greens and taters. I could be picky and say the meatloaf is a little dense and could use more sauce, and the accompanying square of cornbread is underseasoned. But a dash of salt on the cornbread, and it's a dang happy meal. I'd go back and grab another plate anytime."

MWS Catering LLC

★★★★★ 4.5 (12) • $

"Just stopped by for lunch and I am so glad I did! Rick told me about his pulled pork lunch special so I went for it! The bread it comes on was perfect and not overwhelmingly BIG. I tend to not like when there is TOO much bread to bite through but it was great. Like a perfect sized pocket with delicious pulled pork, bbq sauce and onions so beautifully stuffed inside. I also got a side of sausage because that is by far my favorite piece of meat when it comes to bbq. NONE of it disappointed me and I loved that he was so friendly and told me about some of the other food trailers around him that weren't open at the moment. He truly made me want to come back and try EVERY single one. Which I will...but I am definitely glad I chose him first! Thank you for the delicious lunch and wonderful customer service! Will definitely be bringing my husband by next time!"

Heros Gyros

★★★★☆ 4.3 (56) • $

"Saving grace of late night gyro delivery! Here I am reviewing another gyro because I love them. 2 Step Gyro has both lamb and chicken, tomato, red onion, and sauce. Their sauce is less traditional as it doesn't have the cool flavor of cucumber but a more savory sauce, not a bad thing- as it tastes delicious!"

Bravo Company Barbeque & Catering

★★★★★ 5 (6)

"We were lucky enough to be at an event that these guys catered and I can't possibly say enough good things about their BBQ. I am a critic when it comes to brisket as I have personally attempted the craft of slow smoking brisket and most don't live up to mine. These guys surpassed my brisket skills and then went on to decimate any semblance of skills I have. Chicken was to die for & the jalapeño macaroni was the best macaroni I've ever had. You would probably think that I've said everything good that I could possibly say...well, you are mistaken my friend. They had the best peach cobbler I've ever eaten... two of the best in category winners of my life. These guys are the real deal, and they donate to good causes for vets... Hell yes I'll be getting them to cater my next event!"

Schulze’s Pit Room

★★★★☆ 4.4 (140) • $$

"Food was great. Our experience was a little chaotic. Ordered a drink, no bartender at bar... wanted a drink while waiting in line unable to no bartenders. Tried to get a Diet Coke, line was running clear. Staff changed quickly which was nice to see!! Line for food was a good sign, and moved quickly. I ordered a turkey plate with buttered corn and pinto beans. Very good choice on my part. My husband ordered the 3 meat plate which consisted of brisket, 2 ribs and sausage. He chose the al pastor sausage which was lights out. The baked potato salad is a must try and the green beans could've used a little salt. Overall very pleasant experience."

Central Market

★★★★☆ 4.1 (473) • $$

"I don't live too close to any central market, but I do enjoy shopping here. So when I come, I try to stock up on staples. I think their prices are fair. And they do offer a lot more specialty items, like mushrooms, and cold pressed juices, and a variety of other items. I feel like there are little more plentiful in the organic items, and carry more fruit options. The store is pretty well maintenance and the isles are clean. I saw a few employees out either stocking shelves or talking with customers. They have a fruit stand for the kids right at the door, a small donation is asked in the form of a jar, the honor system. My cashier was friendly, and the young man that bagged my groceries was a Tetris genius. Next time I need some restocking of staples, I will surely come back"

Mix’T Caribbean Blends

★★★★★ 4.8 (37)

"I went to this nice lil food truck, never seen it before so I said why not. WHEN I TELL YOU . every single time. I am in Austin I will stop by. I had the beef and chicken tacos. BASICALLY Chefs kiss. I was more than impressed by the flavors. The food was piping hot and don't get me started on the hospitality. The truck was very clean and the service was extremely fast I was able have conversation with the owner Tati. She was very sweet. Very personable and she from VA like me so now I'm really a fan.If you're in the Austin area get here and order anything and every thing.Shoutout to you Tati, I'll be back."

Guero's Backyard

★★★★☆ 4.2 (21) • $$

"First off, freakin AWESOME taco! I ordered the arrachera, it was delicious, cheesy, goodness. Meat was cooked perfectly, and that sauce, man that was good. Yes, taco did cost $7. In my humble, honest opinion, maybe just a tad bit overpriced. Will that stop me from coming again, HECK no. The concept is literally like in he name, walk up to he house, order from a window, sir in their backyard and wait for your delicious food to be ready. You can tell food is cooked to order. Took just a few minutes, but again, DELISH! I did come on a 99 degree day, but with the shade, it was bearable, (I mean, I'm a Texas boy born and raised, I'm used to the heat). I can totally see the place jam packed in the fall and spring times. Keep up the great work guys. I will definitely return. You must try it out."

The County Line

★★★★☆ 3.5 (624) • $$

"My colleagues and I came here on a Monday evening and I was a bit underwhelmed. The interior was clean and it gave an authentic vibe with great views overlooking the area. We asked our waitress for recommendations and I went with the sausage, brisket, corn on the cob, and a side salad (which was huge and a full sized salad! as a non-Texan). The brisket lacked flavor and the corn on the cob had no seasoning like salt or butter on it at all. We also ordered some wings for the table to share and they were a bit dry. Based on the great reviews we saw on Google, we were a bit underwhelmed by the flavor and didn't find that anything stood out."
