My wife and Natalie worked the menu together discussing likes and dislikes and tweaking some of the dishes. Natalie arrived right when planned, quickly got setup and went straight to preparing the hors d'oeuvre and buffet dinner for 20 people. The ingredients were high quality and everyone thought the food was delicious. Natalie worked very hard the whole 5 hours she was here and left the kitchen clean.

We heard of Chef Alex through our neighborhood group and decided to have him come to our home for our 2 year wedding anniversary dinner due to not wanting to be inside public spaces. He handled everything, from helping plan the menu to getting the groceries and even cleaning up after he was done. He was great company on top of explaining each part of the meal and what was in it, just like the 5 star places would. That's not even the best part... The magic that happened...ohhh... We stuck the fork full of food in our mouth and it was AMAZING, like eyes rolling into the back of your head best food ever amazing. I think I time warped to the seaside for the scallops and was sitting on a ranch for the steaks... AND THERE WAS ENOUGH FOR LEFT OVERS! I promise you he will be back to cook for us again and I will also tell everyone I can about this experience and his dedication to what he does. I feel like I have the ace in my pocket with this guy. If you're on the fence, get off and just book him. Now.

I had to organize a corporate reception at a private home and I could not have chosen a better business to work with. I did diligent research and talked to multiple business owners about my event, received various quotes and I. The whole picking process Gourmet Gals were a front runner. I was very happy that they were able to offer catering services as well as bartending services. I did not have to deal with 2 different companies. I was impressed with their professionalism, quick response time, thorough follow up, and putting together a menu that was exactly what I asked for. Sherri was a pleasure to work with and she responded super quickly to all requests, including a slight budget change. The food was delicious. Exec. Chef Mark prepared food on site and it was the most fresh, tasty beautifully presented. Passed Hors d'oeuvre Chicken Diablos had a little kick to them, as the bacon wrapped chicken had some pickled jalapeños. Parmesan Stuffed Mushrooms were particularly tasty for me, with flavors singing and dancing together. Beef on sliders was very high grade, and had even two slices per each slider. Grilled veggies were a hit, and Feta and Garlic dip was very popular as well. Petite sweets and berries with fresh whipped cream topped the party. We had 4 people on site from Gourmet Gals: Mark the chef who did an amazing job, Rebecca the manager to make sure everything goes smoothly, Vivian who passed around food and made sure food was presented and replenished, and our bartender who made sure everybody had a drink in their hands. Thank you Gourmet Gals for your professionalism and for going extra mile to have a successful event!

Sherri worked with us for several months leading up to the event and did her best to tailor the dinner to our needs. Her team showed up early and then disappeared into the background. Our guests seemed to love the food and when the event was over, we found that she had made two additional plates of food just for us, and then placed all of the leftovers in a nice neat container for guests to enjoy the next day. I would highly recommend them. Thanks Sherri and team.

We had multiple meetings and interactions with Morgan and Ruby. We were impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. We did a formal sit down dinner with cocktail hour prior. We also hired them to cook our late night food. Of all the vendors we hired we were not worried about Vestals delivering everything they promised. Sadly the night of the wedding was a completely different story. The service was extremely slow and chaotic. My guests were left wondering if they would ever get dinner and it made our wedding time line run way behind. The tables were not bused and the bartenders had to start grabbing glasses off tables since Vestals was not doing it. Waters were not refilled and it was an overall scene we never ever expected. Lastly they didn't cut the grooms cake and left it sitting on the cake table. I give them 2 stars because the food was good but honestly the service was less than 1 star. I warn other Austin brides that they will promise everything but deliver a different experience.

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.

I was tasked to plan a bachelorette weekend trip in Austin with 5 girls. The cooking class came up…read moreon Groupon, and thought it would be a fun idea to add this to our itinerary. Since we were going to be in Austin a specific weekend, we didn't have much of a choice on what class to take. The only class available was Thai Vegetarians. All the girls ended up liking the food. We made Hot and Sour Soup, Bean Thread Salad w/ tofu and mushroom, Pad Prik King w/ tofu and red curry paste, and Pad Sea Ew w/ tofu and eggs. I thought they tasted as good as the dishes with meat. There were a total of 11 people in the class. Jam was feeling under the weather, but you wouldn't have known it. We all stood around an island while Jam explained the dish and the ingredients while guiding us on what to do next. The island was split up in three burners so there were 3-4 people making a serving of each dish. It was interactive and we all were able to contribute. She gave us a hard copy of the recipes at the beginning of class, and you can chose to follow them/take notes. There were a lot of leftovers and some brought them to go. It was a little warm inside. They needed to crank up the temperature just a wee bit. They also ran out of Thai tea. We ordered 5 but they only had enough to make 1. I do agree with the other reviewers about the cost of the class. I wouldn't have paid the full price for this type of class and am glad we purchased a Groupon. Overall, we had a great time. We left there full and more knowledgeable about Thai cooking.
