My husband and I initially wanted another well-known BBQ Asian fusion restaurant to cater our…read morewedding and were pretty set on it. But after our guest list grew, we had to move locations and our venue was no longer within their catering vicinity. I searched high and low for different vendors that fit the fusion that we wanted, but couldn't find anything that fit just right (or that didn't break the bank). Then I somehow stumbled across Rebel Catering on Google. They had a wide variety of packages for food varying from Asian, to bbq, to Mexican. They didn't have a ton of reviews, and it seemed like they mostly did corporate events, but I gave them a call. I'll be honest, I was a bit apprehensive of how incredibly chill Rahul is at first (because I was already stressed out), but when I told him about our vision, he immediately checked with his chefs and created an incredible menu for us. My mom and mother in law's primary request was copycats of the other restaurant's corn fritters, and he even delivered on that. I'll attach a picture of the menu, but our minds were blown at the quality and freshness of the food. Buffet style brisket is HARD and he and his team crushed it. I even had friends with allergies and he accommodated them without question. The most popular part of the night though was the shaved ice. Part of Rebel Catering is their shaved ice package with alcoholic shaved ice (TABC bartender included). They had custom flavors to match our Asian fusion theme, and even brought their truck in to serve our guests! They also created a custom flavor named after our cat and created a sign with a cute cartoon of him. They also had tons of other drinks including sodas, jelly drinks, boba drinks, and energy drinks. TLDR: HIRE REBEL CATERING. Your guests will love you forever.

The guests loved the spread so much. A definite hit. Constant communication from start to finish. From getting the quote (very fair), making last-minute changes, to arrival day of the event was seamless. I needed the crew to arrive at noon, they arrived at 11:45 a.m. Fantastic! Professional, talented, pleasant, and efficient crew. They had us set up in under thirty minutes. I can't thank Urban Cowboy enough for the care they took to ensure our event was successful.

Two days before the wedding, we reviewed expectations and timeline details, and a designated point of contact was provided for the day of the event. Unfortunately, the catering service did not align with what was discussed. The buffet opened late, and the bride and groom and guests were served significantly behind schedule, which disrupted the reception timeline. We also experienced resistance to having the flatware and glasses on guest tables as planned, and I had to step away from my guests to manage trash removal all while needing to vacate the venue by 10 PM. On a positive note, the food itself was tasty and many guests enjoyed it. I share this feedback to help future clients know that clear execution of timelines and agreed-upon service is critical, especially for milestone events.

I have worked in hospitality and event planning industry in Austin for many years, and finding a good caterer has always proven extremely difficult. Leading up to the event, Brandi was extremely communicative and flexible with my needs. There was a long period of time where things kept getting delayed on my end due to my organization's policies, but Brandi remained so patient, kind, respectful and accommodating throughout the whole process. On the day of the event, her and her team arrived on time and set up a stunning buffet complete with layered linens and touches of greenery. For the price I paid I was expecting just a standard black tablecloth and chafers on a table, so I was very impressed with the presentation. It made it very clear to me that this is a business that takes pride in their work. On top of this already great experience, the food was fresh and delicious. I am not exaggerating when I say every single thing was seasoned to perfection! I went around to each table and asked everyone how they liked everything, and they all commented on how flavorful the food was. Even our staff with dietary restrictions that received alternative proteins were impressed. I had only paid for the basic-level buffet service, so I was't expecting them to do anything beyond serving the food- but I was yet again pleasantly surprised when I looked up and saw Brandi and her team walking around to each table bussing plates. This was not expected of them at all and I was so amazed with the level of service throughout the entire event. I will absolutely be hiring them for more events in the future, and I recommend you do too!

The food was dry and cold and the reply I received was that my staff had no complaints? Did they try the food?

Let's focus at the matter at hand and the food was subpar and that's putting it mildly. Do not book them for any special occasion, you'll be disappointed.

Bartender was kind however the hutto hippo marg was not good in my opinion - I asked for don julio silver however my marg was definitely served with an unknown brown tequilla. We went to the patio - waitress was attentive but not too knowledgeable about the menu. We just ordered some apps and more drinks which is why we came. The queso flameado is fired up table side- seemed it didn't get fired up enough as it was hard to pull apart however flavor was on point . Not a fan of the salsa which came out before the food- very tomato forward.

I submitted a request on Monday, Jon told me that they were booked but could arrange a drop off and asked for a good time to speak on the phone. We spoke on Tuesday, and although he could not offer what he originally mentioned (appetizers, buffet etc), I was thankful and more than happy to accept the grazing table option. He stated that he would send me an estimate Wednesday. I received an estimate on Wednesday at 10:20 pm, which I accepted. This morning (Thursday), Jon replied that he would confirm everything with his chef and send me an invoice later. At 8:20 pm this evening, I got an email saying that Food Addiction would not be able to accommodate my event. I completely understand the last minute nature of my request but this company should've either turned me down immediately, or at least communicated this earlier in the day (phone call would've been nice). All of the other businesses Jon suggested were already closed for the day. In our communications, Jon tells me that I'm the very first person that their company has cancelled on. With only 3 reviews, I find that very hard to believe. I recommend considering an established local company with better business practices and communication for your event and avoiding Food Addiction at all costs.
