The Best Caterers in Cincinnati

Coffee Emporium

★★★★★ 4.6 (320) • $$

"I loved my coffee- but the location inside was a little cramped. The service was friendly and the baked goods were also fresh. A very cute place for a treat-yourself coffee!"

The Empanada's Box

★★★★★ 4.9 (93)

"This is the type of place the five stars speak for themselves. We absolutely loved what we got. We got the Jamaica which we both think it might be their best one it was so good lol. Really you should just go & try a few different ones for yourself. They're small so definitely get more than one. Service was great & helpful. Loved all the plants & brightness of the place. 10/10 Recommend"

6 'N The Mornin'

★★★★☆ 3.6 (98) • $$

"On Valentine's Day, I started my birthday off right with breakfast!! Founder, Trey Graham, brings us 6 'N The Mornin' & they're serving up a taste of the South in the heart of the midwest. I love the classic aesthetic & throwback RnB music playing in the background! It creates such a relaxed vibe. I ordered the Florida Coast French Toast with scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, their amazing new Cajun Breakfast Potatoes, and a Peach Mimosa. Everything was delicious & full of flavor, you can tell they really cook with love here. The service was fantastic as well & I wanna give a big shoutout to Gigi! She was so attentive & took such great care of me. Thank you so much for such wonderful experience! I can't wait to go back. Cheers to another year!! 1535 Madison Rd, Cincinnati, OH 45206https://6nthemornin.com/Instagram/TikTok: @biteswithmissb"

Velvet Smoke BBQ - Catering And Carry Out

★★★★☆ 4.1 (50)

"I'm going to make this very simple. EAT HERE. Well, order food from here, sit in your car, turn on your favorite tunes and enjoy. Their BBQ is outstanding. And their sauce comes in 3 levels of heat! This KC girl is so happy she finally found the White Oak location. And it's not easy to find. If you blink, you will miss it. If you look for the Jersey Mikes in the strip mall, you are there! It's next door. I love the burnt ends platter, but today I had a the brisket sandwich. The mount of brisket was generous and left me full and happy. I got the medium sauce. Next time I will go for hot. Yum!"

Green District - Fountain Square

★★★★☆ 4.3 (37)

"Green District is one of my go to lunch spots downtown. I'm always looking for a healthy and fast option and this place fits the bill. You can order using their app and my food is always ready for pickup when I arrive. The service is great and I love their firebird salad. The customization options on the app are great too. Highly recommend for those downtown workers who want quality but quick food!"

Flavors of the Isle

★★★★☆ 4.2 (33) • $$

"This place was just okay for me. I love Caribbean food as I grew up with it and this was just okay. The service is a bit slow and there good be a bit of improvements. I ordered the fried catfish and cornbread and my guy order the jerk chicken with plantains. The catfish came with a sauce which was good. The corn bread was cold and lacked a bit of flavor. When I asked for it to be warmed up and a bit of butter. I received melted butter with the same cold corn bread. My guy said the jerk was okay but the plantains were not ripe and they were hard like a green banana and not sweet. So he did not continue to eat them."

City Barbeque

★★★☆☆ 3.3 (49)

"I had the brisket and my wife hat the pulled pork. It was delicious. We brought home a piece of chocolate cake and it hit the spot. Can't wait to return."

City Barbeque

★★★★☆ 3.9 (28) • $$

"Nice and cool on a hot summer day, music vibing too. The gal that took orders this day was friendly and very helpful. The food was out in just a few minutes. I learned this visit that you can sample other meats. I got a sample of two that I didn't order and they were a couple bites each. I ordered the turkey and sampled the brisket and the bama chicken. The chicken was surprisingly juicy and flavorful.My only suggestion is that they come out and wipe off the tables more often."

Decibel Korean Fried Chicken

★★★★☆ 3.8 (27) • $$

"As usual, I'm always catching up to the trends, but the corn dog (cheese dog) was a hot item for a reason!! This was my first time trying a Korean corn dog, which is basically a jumbo cheese stick, and it was a perfect combo of sweet sauce, crunch breading and cheese. I will make a return visit for these!! The dumplings are worth trying out if you like spicy food, personally I'm a wimp so these were a little too hot for me but still had good flavor."

Mazunte Catering & Mercado

★★★★★ 4.6 (16) • $

"Super cute Mexican Market as well as pick up for Mazunte. This was my first time at this location. I came to pick up some Horchata. I love their Horchata! It's the best! While I was in there I realized you could actually get their tacos and other foods. I also grabbed one Jamaica juice as well as some Gauc and chips. Their Gauc and chips are really good. Probably my fav. I love their chips as well. I didn't really care for the Jamaica drink. It was my first time having it. As always the Horchata, Gauc and Chips were delicious!"

Love Me Tenders

★★★★★ 4.5 (16)

"If you blink, you'll miss it!This location of Love Me Tenders is tucked away and almost invisible from the road, unless you're looking for it. This is unfortunate, because I'm sure many people don't even spot it as they're driving by this busy stretch of road. Not only that, in this particular area, there are approximately a dozen other fast food and standard restaurants in a stretch of about 1/4 mile. On top of all of the other businesses in this small area, you really need to look for it. That said, I gave it a try to see what they had to offer.I was not disappointed but I will say that I need to try it again. Here are some step-by-step details of my experience.I went through the drive-thru for my order. This took an incredibly long time. There was only one car in front of me and after a long wait, it was my turn at the window. Then, my wait was equally as long. I can only attribute this to that your order is made-to-order. That's not a bad thing, but if you're looking for fast or you get frustrated by long waits, this isn't the place for you. I believe you may eat in, but I did not go inside and cannot speak of the interior. In this case, drive-thru does not mean a quick in-and-out experience. The tenders, although very big in terms of portion, I found to be a bit bland and a little dry. They weren't inedible but they just didn't hit the mark for me. Unless I have a horrible experience though, I'm always willing to give a place another try.Would I go back? I do plan on giving Love Me Tenders another run. Whether it's a human or a business, we all have a bad day. The person at the window was very nice and the experience wasn't horrible. I know what to expect but next time, I hope the tenders will impress. It's nice seeing something other than the usual chains we have every 5 minutes from each other. An alternative is a welcomed change and I really want to like Love Me Tenders. And, if it does impress, I fully intend on updating my review. Wish me luck!"

Belmont Catering

★★★★★ 5 (11)

"Best potato salad ever!!! You will love it. These are great people and excellent service."

All In One Occasions

★★★★★ 5 (9)

"Oh. Em. Gee. This place, y'all. THIS PLACE is amazing! My boyfriend, who is from out of town, asked me where a good soul food restaurant was in Cincinnati. Being a white girl raised in Northern Kentucky, I had NO FRICKIN' IDEA where one was, as I had never had "soul food" in my life. I consulted the internet and Emma's kept coming up at 5 stars on every review. So, there we went.We were greeted with a friendly smile as soon as we walked in, and decided to stay and eat rather than get it to go. We were offered a plate of samples of the food and it was all delicious! We loaded up with baked chicken, pork chops, mac and cheese, greens, corn bread...oh my....they even humored me when I asked for white meat chicken (again, white girl lol). By the time we left, we felt like old friends, even snapping photos to go! Awesome little joint and I can't wait to go back!"

The Lumpia Queen

★★★★★ 4.5 (11)

"The place I work at had a very popular food truck forget to add us to the schedule. So the day before our event we were out of a food truck! Lumpia was able to accommodate our large event at a last minute! The food was sooooo good! I got the sampler and would do it 10x over! They were quick, friendly, and very professional!"

1 Smokin Ash Hole

★★★★☆ 4.3 (12)

"Locally owned. Next to a gas station--DO NOTlet that stop you. Staff (owner and wife) are super nice. The place is clean and had fresh flowers on the table. It is right off 75 so easy in and out. It's counter service but places to sit and eat. They had a party of 20 coming in for a bday party. The fried cabbage will be in my dreams! everything is homemade and it shows! They have only been open about 6 weeks but are putting in a late night drive through. I wish I lived closer!!!!!"

Tacos El Gordis

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"I had wanted to grab a quesadilla from another local truck... when I got there and placed an order the wait said 30 minutes, I was way too hungry for that. Frantically I pulled out my phone and found El Gordis right down the road in the parking lot of a BP gas station at the intersection of Tennessee and Reading. I pulled up way too damn hungry, distraught, trying to figure out if I wanted a torta or a burrito or just like 16 different things. I ordered in a panic, and ended up with a steak torta. Payment via cash or cash app, no cards accepted.It was a delicious decision. What I got from the owner was probably one of the best Mexican meals I've had in this city, and that torta was a solid meal in and of itself. Piled HIGH with meat, two different types of cheeses, damn near a whole avocado, fresh jalapenos, home made salsa, lettuce, pico, and a grilled jalapeno and onion on the side for good measure. It was probably one of the most ridiculously large things I've eaten, and at $12 it was worth every single penny. While he was cooking I chatted with the owner, they're open until 9pm every night except Sunday but he's talking about opening until late on the weekends (like 1 am), because he apparently does good business in the evening. He marinates and makes all of his meat (including chorizo), bakes his own bread, dices his own tomatoes, it's all his handy work making this little truck work. And the results are well worth it."

Kuhlmann's Fine Meats & Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"I love this deli. They have the best cuts of meat. The bacon is 1,000 times better than regular store bought bacon. They have a great selection of sides. There's a weekly special that is tough to beat and they always post it on their Facebook page. They also have plenty of other items to purchase like chips, pasta, salsa, condiments, alcohol, frozen dinners, etc. AND the service is amazing. The people that work there are SO nice."

Taste of Jamaica

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (5)

"Best jerk chicken in the Dayton area! We ordered take out and we're very happy with our food. The flavor was there! The cabbage came with the jerk chicken dinner and it was just as good as the chicken. We also tried the beef pattie and it was pretty good. We will definitely return in the near future...perhaps this weekend lol"

A Taste Of Class Catering

★★★★☆ 3.7 (3)

"I used a Taste of Class for my wedding in June 2011 at Alms Park. They are one of Cincinnati Parks caterers that you can choose from.Three main things : Great food. Great price. Organized. We met with a Taste of Class in July of 2010 and set up a hamburger / hot dog menu. It was picnic theme. They accomodated us really well and let us pick and choose what we wanted. We got a bartender, food, and servers for the price of 12 dollars a head. The food at the wedding was really tasty and everyone loved it. The bartenders were nice and good with drinks (they were strong too so everyone was feeling good!) There were only a few problems : ATOC didn't communicate well with the bartenders (I guess they use another company) and they didn't know we had keg beer or drinks that required a lot of sweet and sour. Fortunately, one bartender had the other run out and get what they needed. They handled it well and quickly, I was really impressed. Other thing was they took the buffett off too early. They asked me, and since I didn't know what was going on as I was running around too much, I just told them to take it off when people were done. That meant after the last table got their food. So no one got seconds, which was sad. They did a good job getting our cupcakes out. Some minor issues with not really knowing what to do, but all worked out. I really do suggest using them - they make great food and are really great before hand."

2 Chefs

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"Had a fantastic lunch at my first visit to 2 Chefs. There are several large blackboards with all kinds of choices! Breakfast. Lunch. Dinner. Dessert. There is some funky South American music playing, so I decided to get my Latin on and I ordered grilled pork with beans and chimichurri sauce. The pork was a huge portion, and the chimichurri sauce was tangy, garlicky and really good with the pork and beans. Nice crispy fries and an ice cold sprite completed the meal. I was stuffed, but went for a generous slice of cheesecake. Really good first experience at this great eatery. I'll be back for sure."

Aunty Dinners

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"5+++++ I recently placed a few orders from Aunty Dinners!! Was excited to try some lasagna from a New Yorker! And it was amazing!! I also got some of the BEST fried chicken wings that were so crispy but not greasy at all!! The chicken was served with shrimp fried rice! It was DELICIOUS...came with the nice LARGE shrimp and lots of veg & mushrooms....it was so full of flavor and so delicious!!! I'm a customer for life!"
