Paradox Catering & Consulting

I happened to be attending a charity fundraiserRaising money for the humane society. With River Rat Rounders All in for Animals Poker Tournament. Paradox setup a pretty nice snack table for all charity participants while the food & the buffet was being prepped. What they had to offer that day on the buffet was great outside of their chicken. I really fell in love with the Beef Brisket the Chefs with Paradox prepared. The green beans tasted pretty good as it was the only vegetable I cared for they had to offer. Their brisket was killer I went back for 2nd's and 3rd's before going back to the snack bar for their dessert offering of cookies and brownies. Their bar setup was great and their bartenders on staff were professional and courteous. I tipped them very well for their service. If I had a Charity wedding Christmas party or other function. I would hire Paradox to be my caterer for that special event. I will also recommend Paradox to my friends.Make sure t like them on FB & tell a friend.https://www.facebook.com/ParadoxCatering/Check them out on the web athttps://www.paradoxcuisine.com

Without a doubt, best catering company in Memphis! Jimmy and Jessica created the most delicious, one-of-a-kind menus for our wedding. When COVID hit, we decided to pivot from self serve stations to a full seated dinner and it could not have been more perfect. 6 months later, guests still talk about the food. The team was so easy to work with, transparent with pricing, and flexible. 10/10 recommend Paradox for any catering needs!

We had a very negative experience with Paradox for my wedding. I have celiac disease, and I have significant symptoms within hours of consuming gluten. Jimmy and Jessica assured me that the food - only exception being the sweet potato rolls - would be gluten free (GF). At first I thought I had developed gastroenteritis - at and after my wedding reception and continuing for the days afterwards. I felt better on my honeymoon - but return of symptoms when I continued to eat the leftovers. I realized my symptoms were always triggered when I ate the Paradox food. I emailed Jessica to ask what the band of pasta was - she said it was some sort of GF brand from Kroger. I was suspicious. I looked at all the brands at Kroger and nothing matched the pasta leftovers. I bought an EZ Gluten Test Kit and tested the pasta and shrimp & grits - which caused me symptoms - and both resulted "high positive" for gluten. I emailed Paradox to notify them of their mistake. When Jimmy finally responded, he requested a sample of the pasta - which I dropped off the very next morning. He claimed couldn't tell what kind of pasta it was from looking at it - said he talked to the Kitchen - and ultimately, he claimed that he couldn't figure out one way or another what pasta was served. Jimmy offered to refund 50% food cost (in total about 1/8 the total cost) for the mistake. I have serious reservations about this company, and I would advise anyone who has any serious food allergy to avoid this caterer.

We used Paradox for our wedding reception bar at the Shelby Farm's FedEx Event Center in July 2023. Paradox was able to recommend a great selection of local beers, wines and spirits and for a very reasonable price. Good experience overall!

Food was awesome and service was first class!!I highly recommend Paradox catering!!!

Served the wrong food at our wedding. Almost managed to spoil our wedding by making my wife sick. Chef had no clue what was served. Was very unapologetic and arrogant about the whole thing later.Highly recommend against using paradox catering.The food they served wasn't very good either.

I was blown away by Paradox Catering. While preparing for this event they were always readily available for all questions and changes that I had (and there were a lot). On the day of the event, the staff were extremely professional and again adapted to every change I threw at them at the last minute. They kept offering assistance with event details that had nothing to do with the catering, they were just absolutely wonderful!! The food was picture perfect, almost to pretty to eat, and absolutely delicious. Then with the plated lunch already in full swing we had to literally squeeze in 10 guests over capacity. They took this on with ease, "don't worry, we got it" were 5 of the best words I have ever heard. I have been in events for a long time and they are at the top of my amazing caterers list. Needless to say I would highly recommend Paradox Catering to everyone.
