Again this year I was upset when I first called Dawson because the date i wanted he was booked. So after giving it a lot of thought I decided to move my date up one week.

Within our budget, great food and wonderful service Will I use them again HELL YES!

We have used Royal Catering for two large events at our church -- our Christmas Banquet in 2025…read moreand our Deacons' Spring Banquet in April 2026. What really stood out was the excellent service from Kaitlin, their Special Events Coordinator. From start to finish, she was incredibly helpful in every way. She always was prompt in communicating, very accommodating to any adjustments I requested, and extremely helpful in talking through setup and serving options for our events. Topping it off, she was there as a Service Ambassador for both events -- she knew exactly what we had planned and was present to see that it happened. Katlin's teammate at both events, Mario, also was fantastic. Both of them worked hard, with courtesy and professionalism. The setup and food presentation was lovely, and the entrees were delicious. The combination of excellent service and delicious food made using Royal Catering a win-win in every way! MaryBeth Berry First McKinney Baptist Church Senior Adult/Pastoral Care Admin Assistant

He was very professional and made me feel very confident that our event would be a success. On the day of, Jonathan arrived early to get everything set up, and provided plenty of serving utensils, platters etc. There was plenty of food for everyone to eat their fill and then some! The brisket and pulled pork sliders were so tasty and were the first thing to go! The caprese salad bites were delicious and the charcuterie items were a huge hit as well! The presentation was great and everyone was very impressed with the quality of the food. Don't hesitate to book Southern Gentlemen Catering for your next event!

Bill took the time to speak with me a few weeks beforehand; he walked me through the process, making excellent suggestions along the way. From the watermelon and feta skewers to the Ritz Carlton sandwiches and the charcuterie board, everything was delicious. Bill's display of all the food was perfect, and Bill was very attentive to all the guests, removing plates, tidying the displays and overall making it a stress free situation for me. It was so easy to enjoy myself and all our guests. I am sorry I did not take any pictures of the food, but the presentation was beautiful.

I can't say enough good things about what Mac is doing over there at Crackbrisket. His brisket is…read moreextremely tender and moist and each bite is to die for.

You will not find better service than what you get here at this place. One of the friendliest people you will ever meet.

For Mother's Day I ordered a small dinner with ham, Mac and cheese, sweet potatoes and greens. The meals include instructions on how to cook/reheat later. There was enough to feed four people comfortably. After I plated it it looked like I had cooked it myself --- I decided then and there that I would never cook big dinners again. Oh! It's easy to order online and schedule pickup. Will order again.

The lobster chunks were perfectly sized. The green and yellow peppers added brightness. It was flavor and well seasoned. I was trying the car brunch concept they were offering. You literally pull up to a back door and they give you food. It's like curbside. So that's the good news. The bad news is the chicken and waffle. The chicken was seasoned and cooked perfectly. THE WAFFLE WAS ROCK HARD. So for this I have to remove a star. Also they forgot my silverware. I can't eat my car brunch with my hands. Luckily I keep plastic forks in my car. I would definitely eat here again. No waffles though. Honorable mention* The candied bacon was tasty. The to go mimosa was GREAT! A good brand of juice and champagne. I will support more events in the future.

This place is maybe my least favorite BBQ. They were set up at a City of Rowlett event across from…read moreour booth. For 2 1/2 hours, the smell of their mesquite wood perfectly cooking their meats wafted across the parking lot, tickling our nostrils, summoning saliva to flood into our mouths. As if that weren't bad enough, we had to stand there, running our booth, as customer after customer walked past us, eating their meats, making sounds of pure gustatory delight as they feasted on Joe's meaty offerings. By the time we got over there, all they had left were hot links. We bought four (2 apiece), and the man running the booth (Joe himself, I assume) had the gall to be kind and friendly to us. Did he warn us that these links were amazing and delicious? No. Did he tell us we would devour these two links apiece in seconds and wish we had ordered four, even six each? No, no he did not. So needless to say, I'm at war with Joe's Backyard BBQ. At least until I can eat there again. I'll be first in line. Sorry to everyone behind me. You'll be left with hot links. Make sure to buy more than 2 each.
