Food was Amazing!
“Karen catered a meal for a wonderful holiday memorial service last night. Her food was amazing! It was well seasoned, flavorful and plentiful. My mom said the sweet potato pie was the best she’s ever had! (High praise). I highly recommend her services for any event. Thanks, Karen!”
– Lauren C.

– Christina O.
WILL BE USING AGAIN
“We used Karen’s to Cater a BIA event at Century Glass and it was the best! Food was early, had everything we requested plus cornbread, sweet tea and plates! It smelled so good, the fried chicken was a hit. Everyone was very happy and we even had people asking to take home plates. WILL BE USING AGAIN!! 100%”
