I booked this caterer early in the pandemic for my October 2020 wedding. When I signed the contract, I was assured that I could update the menu and number of guests up to 3 weeks prior to the event. Initially, we were going to have 175 people at our wedding; however with the pandemic ongoing and my family unable to attend due to travel restrictions, we needed to drastically cut the guest list to the minimum number of guests per the contract (50), which the company was notified in August of the change. For nearly $2000, which would have covered the cancellation cost of the original contract while still providing food to our guests, I received bacon wrapped jalapeños and Swedish meatballs. Overpriced and poor quality food. Look elsewhere for your catering needs. read more

I was very excited about Mopsie doing the catering for our daughters wedding. Circumstances changed and we needed to cancel the catering service. When I called to set this up I ask about cancellations and was told oh don't worry you can get a FULL refund if needed up to 180 day out from the wedding date. Well we are 237 days out and needed to cancel and they now say they can only give us 1/2 of the deposit. I spoke with Bobby the owner and he was NO help at all. I would never ever recommend them. read more

I would never recommend Mopsies to any couples planning their weddings! During my final walk through, we met with Carson who promised time and time again that her team would be there to set up tables, put out favors etc... well that was far from the truth. I arrived at the venue to find the only people there were two guys dropping off table cloths. We had decided on all cream for the dining tables and black for cocktail tables. They brought black for the dining tables and white for the cocktail tables. They said that they could not switch them out and after my day-of coordinator made them call Carson, the best they could provide was a mix of cream and white. In addition to the wrong colors, they didn't bring the long top table table cloths so my bridal party ended up being squeezed onto shorter tables with once again the wrong color table cloths. Next up was the fact that my mother and I ended up being the ones that had to put out all of the chargers, decorations, favors etc... all because their staff did not show up until the very last minute. I was putting everything out until 4:30 and the ceremony started at 5. We had so much to do that I didn't have any time in the bridal suite with my bridesmaids and simply had to go upstairs, put on my dress and go! I missed out on valuable time and ended up with very few pictures before the ceremony. As we got into the cocktail hour, the bar staff did not put out our signature cocktail and seemed less than pleased that we were doing a champagne toast. I cannot stress how many times I was told "Dont worry! You just tell us what you want and we make sure that it happens!" and the service that we received was simply the opposite of that. Carson set these expectations and then didn't follow through and she didn't even show up on the day to help. Overall, the food was the only good thing about Mopsies. The service was so terrible that I would never recommend Mopsies to any couples. As I said before, the one and only thing about my wedding day that was stressful was Mopsies lack of service and professionalism. I did reach out to Mopsies but they never responded. read more

We used Catering by Mopsie for our wedding this October and it was a great experience. During the entire planning process I received quick responses and was treated like family. Every person raved about the prime rib and how delicious it was. The staff went above and beyond to make our wedding day special and memorable!! read more

Used Mopsie's for my daughter's wedding 2 weeks ago. The day of the wedding the caterer never talked with me before set-up or cleanup. 30-40% of the chicken fried steaks were overcooked or burnt. So called butler service for the bride and groom was non-existent. They were served burnt steaks, no one ever came back around to serve them drinks or pick up their plates after the dinner. I emailed Amy about my concerns. She said the captain of the catering team talked to me and said I complimented them on the food. Which I never spoke with her the entire evening. She did not come and find me either. Amy then proceeded to say that I should be charged for extra plates that they served. Which by my count is what was to be given to other vendors at the wedding free of charge. I asked if we could come to some type of resolution on the lack of service and the quality of food and she did not respond back. I do concede that I chose this particular caterer due to reviews on Yelp but I was not happy with the service and food. You might need to look elsewhere for a caterer. read more

We used Catering by Mopsie for our daughter's wedding in Luling TX. It was one of the best catering experiences we have had. They are easy to deal with, offer great suggestions, and they really shone on the wedding day. Everyone I talked to loved the food. The venue manager was very complimentary about how clean the venue was after everything was torn down. If I ever need to cater a large event again Catering by Mopsie will be at the top of the list. read more

Let me start this review by saying that we used Mopsie's to cater our wedding to feed 250 guests two weeks ago. The event itself went almost without a hitch, so I can recommend them, but with a few warnings to make your experience less stressful: 1) We requested the "butler service", and there is obviously an extra fee for that, but the item appears on the invoice as "Service Fee 18%". If you're like me, seeing "service fee" on an invoice makes me think "useless upcharge". I recommend that the owner change the labeling of that charge to keep customers from having the negative reaction I had AND from having to take time to call and get an explanation. Amy said I was the "first to give that feedback", but I've got to believe that is not the case. 2) I wanted the leftover food in order to feed the myriad family staying in town in the days following the wedding. In one conversation Amy said they give the leftover food to a "shelter", and another email says they throw it out. But apparently they have "buffet captains" that count how many plates are served and they give you "to go" plates for those attendees who did not show. But it's a BUFFET. I recommended to Amy that she pass along to the owner that a less confusing method would be to tell me from the beginning that it will take, say, "70 pounds of brisket to feed your 250 guests a buffet" and let me add/subtract pounds of meat as I see fit. If I order too little then it's on me. But if I order too much, they box that up and give it to me. Seems clear and less confusing, but I spent about 30 minutes on the phone having this explained to me and I still question it as a business model, but oh well. When it was all said and done, we had about 40 no-shows and I came home with about that much food. 3) Mopsie's adds a 3% credit card fee. In today's modern age of technology, this is one of those upcharges I spoke of earlier. And on a $9000 invoice like mine, it was not chump change. 4) Save your money and skip the ice cream bar. For our $1000 we envisioned a nicely presented ice cream bar, kept clean and cold. But what we got was a presentation of 3 tubs of melting Blue Bell on a counter that was covered with ice cream drips and drops and very sloppy looking. Again, the event itself went well, the food was great, and the servers were courteous and helpful. I just would have liked to have had all of the above info ahead of time, so there ya go! read more

I got married at Vista West Ranch and chose Catering by Mopsie. During the planning process our budget for food didn't allow for much more than BBQ. We looked at all the typical and popular BBQ places around town, and I was surprised at how high the prices were. Well Catering by Mopsie was on VWR's preferred vendor list so I decided to reach out to them. From our first contact with Amy we could tell this would be an easy process. I really can't say enough about her responsiveness and how friendly she is. We had the brisket and the chicken with the upgraded sides. The price was right, and we were able to add china for our place setting rather than having paper plates! Other things we added were a s'mores bar and chicken and waffles for the hors d'oeuvre. Everything was a hit. Everyone kept asking where the BBQ was from (I even think a friend who is getting married next year used my wedding as a taste test and is now booking with them) saying that it was some of the best BBQ they have had, which if you are from Austin you know that's saying a lot. I highly recommend Mopsies. I promise you won't regret it! read more

Years later, we still have people ask WHO catered our wedding ! You know when you order anything from Mopsie, it is going to be perfect, and it was ! Mospie served 300 people, and everything was done to perfection !. The food was not only delicious, but beautifully displayed and served. I will order from her time and again ! read more

Catering by Mopsie was amazing for our wedding! Being in the wedding business myself I have attended over a 1000 weddings, and we knew that we had to have them for our own wedding. We got so many compliments on our appetizers, and our bbq entrees. read more

We hired Catering by Mopsie for our wedding in Hutto in October 2017. Amy the catering manager was extremely easy to work with in the months leading up to the wedding - I cannot say enough good things about how calming it was to have her be responsive to our every question throughout the process. The group was great to work with in customizing a menu for what we wanted - breakfast foods for dinner. They also made providing bar services extremely easy, and very affordably priced for alcohol at a wedding. Our guests loved the food (and the bartenders) at the wedding, which was the most important thing! My reasons for not giving 5 stars: they brought the wrong faux china plates from what was established in our contract, and we learned after the wedding that they had left most of our wedding cake uncut and plated, even though cake cutting service was included as an added service benefit in our agreement. Overall, for price and quality would absolutely recommend for any wedding in Austin, just be mindful you'll need your coordinator to work closely with them on service! read more
