Root Cellar is a great company! Vanessa and Megan were great to work with and so professional! Despite a very busy wedding season, they always communicated well and responded in a timely manner. The food was very good and they offered unique options for plated meals. Everyone raved about the honey butter chicken biscuits and brie tarts as appetizers at our wedding. My only issue the whole night was that I had ordered grilled chicken for one of our entrees but we received bone-in chicken instead. However, the team was very responsive to this error, providing a compensatory refund for the issue and modifying their ordering process to ensure future errors like this do not occur. I appreciated their receptiveness to feedback and their willingness to improve. Rest assured that all the feedback they have received has just made them even more of a fantastic catering company that will surely provide a wonderful and enjoyable meal for your event!
Root Cellar catered our wedding in October 2021, and overall the tasting session was sublime and the communication over what we wanted was great leading up to the day-of the wedding, but unfortunately we will have to nick them a star both because my husband’s tier of cake (he’s celiac, so was gluten free) was served to everyone first and because the entrees were not nearly as stellar as the tasting (hors d’oeuvres and desserts were still great though). The latter was likely our venue’s fault due to travel time and lack of a great kitchen, but I figured I would mention it here so that others can consider distance in their catering options (our wedding was in Blanco, TX). They were still great to work with, but in hindsight I’d spend less money and do a buffet from a caterer closer to the venue.
Root Cellars catered our wedding recently. I was so excited for the dinner catering, but it ended up being a pretty big disappointment. The staff was AMAZING and the coordinator was easy to work with throughout the planning process, but the main food dishes were just not good at all. I don't like leaving negative reviews and was hesitant to leave a review in the first place. The food was SO, SO cold. I was absolutely shocked due to the price charged. The shrimp and polenta dish lacked any flavor and there were chunks of polenta that tasted uncooked/hard. I'm a pescatarian, so I didn't try the dijon chicken, but had a lot of feedback about the lack of flavor as well. The mashed potato and asparagus side dishes had great flavor, but again were so cold. I just expected a little more.
We had a great experience with Root Cellar for our wedding on 2/24/22. We were immediately drawn to them after our initial tasting because the food was so incredible! Our choices were passed appetizers: mac \\u0026 cheese topped with bacon, pulled pork taco, veggies \\u0026 hummus. Entrees: rosemary orange chicken (so good) \\u0026 braised short ribs. Late night snack: chicken \\u0026 waffles.\\n\\nThe team was very responsive and great at communicating from start to finish. The staff the day of our wedding was incredible! Everyone was so friendly - from bar tenders to the food runners. We ended up having very unfortunate weather on our wedding day and our dinner was in a winter tent at the venue but it was really cold. My dinner was still very hot when it was brought to me, so that was great! I did not get to try any appetizers or the late night snack but we received quite a few compliments on them.\\n\\nAmazing experience overall and I'd highly recommend Root Cellar for your catering needs! We also used them for our 2021 Thanksgiving dinner.
Root Cellar was nothing short of awesome! Vanessa and Megan were so helpful every step of the way. From tastings, to changing proposals and the wedding day everything ran so smoothly. Everyone loved the action stations at the wedding and people couldn't get enough of the sliders and mac n cheese. Highly recommend using them!
Root Cellar recently helped our work team celebrate Premiere Event's 21st Anniversary. From start to finish, working with Vanessa and her team was a great experience. Our guests enjoyed every item served. The hors d'oeuvre menu was creative, portions were just right and there was plenty for all. Thanks, Root Cellar, for a great event.
Awesome dinner last night! I had the salmon and my husband had the Bourbon Pecan Chicken and they both were great! The waitress was excellent and didn’t rush us. Be sure to make a reservation!
I cannot recommend Root Cellar enough - from the first point of contact with Vanessa to the amazing tasting with Megan to our absolutely perfect wedding day, Root Cellar was a dream to work with!Let me start by saying - finding the perfect caterer was one of the most daunting tasks in our wedding planning journey. We got quotes from so many caterer's, it made our heads spin, but we finally narrowed our selection down to three. The first caterer we tried had us running for the hills, but the next day we had our tasting with Root Cellar.When we sat down with Megan (owner and lead chef), we immediately felt at ease. Before bringing any food in, she sat and talked to us about our wedding wants & needs. Then she brought out salads and told us while we ate our salads, she would be in the kitchen finishing cooking our entrees. Yes - everything is cooked fresh and this is how it will be at your event! They prepared everything on-site at our wedding to assure the quality and freshness of the food. This was huge to us and we just felt so relieved. Not to mention, during our tasting Megan told us her recipes for her creations and we immediately understood why everything tasted SO good. Everything was cooked with love and care - this is not your frozen, toss-it-in-the-oven and serve type of food. It is upscale, quality food with a hint of comfort. Needless to say, we cancelled our tasting with the third caterer.So while Megan is the magician behind the cuisine, then there is Vanessa. Vanessa is kind of like your own personal catering coordinator guardian angel. I can't even count how many times I changed my mind or asked her to revise our catering proposal. (I wanted to see options for buffet vs. family style vs. plated dinners, with bar service and without, X amount of appetizers and china, etc.) and without hesitation Vanessa was there to help answer all of my questions with such grace. You don't find this level of service with just anyone - the Root Cellar team is like a breath of fresh air!Now for wedding day! We decided to do a plated dinner for our reception with hand passed appetizers during cocktail hour. Our appetizers were: chicken & waffle bites, mini crab cakes and fresh tomato bruschetta . For the entree: rosemary focaccia bread, berry bleu salad, spinach artichoke whole roasted chicken & creamy pesto pasta. Our wedding was two months ago, and we still have guests telling us how good the food was. The best feeling was sitting down with my new husband and just watching the Root Cellar team come out and serve our guests. It honestly felt like we had a small army working for us, making sure the dining experience was perfect - which it was. If you want great food, a positive planning experience and a high level of professionalism, Root Cellar is the way to go. If you are on the fence, believe me: book a tasting! You will not regret it.
They catered to my cousin's wedding and did a great job. They made perfect slow cooked chicken - recommended.
