Jimmy Lyn's Events and Catering

GREAT FOOD! Some highlight items we got were bacon wrapped shrimp and the duet plate with chicken and pulled pork - all very good. Also, their scalloped potatoes were delicious, a must have for sure. Our bridal party and guests kept commenting how tasty the food was throughout the night. Jimmy Lyn’s (specifically Moriah) communicated well and eased our minds about how they follow the restrictions of the venue so as not to incur fines or fees of the venue. Their service on the wedding day was seamless. They are also reasonably priced. Highly recommend!! -Erik and Faith

We absolutely LOVED Jimmy Lyn's!! Their food is such good quality. All of our guests said they loved their meals. The team at Jimmy Lyn's, especially Moriah, is so professional and reliable. We would recommend them to anyone without a doubt. They also work with a person who does cakes, Lani Cammer! Our cake was unbelievably good and she was able to do the design we wanted perfectly.

Love Jimmy Lyn's! They are an excellent choice when deciding on wedding food. Their team/service is top notch and the food is always consistently fabulous!

This vendor provided the absolute most Devine food and wonderful staff and service for our daughter’s wedding. I would highly recommend this vendor to anyone planning an important celebration. They are fantastic.❤️

We loved everything about Jimmy Lyn’s! Customer service was always great! Food is absolutely amazing! We had everyone at our wedding telling us how amazing the food was!

Jimmy Lyn’s Catering did an outstanding job on my daughter’s wedding. The food was wonderful and the service was excellent. The pork loin with raspberry sauce was delicious and the scalloped potatoes left you wanting more! We had many guests raving about the high quality of the food. They also offered a kid’s meal for our “little” guests. Although we chose the buffet option, they served the kids at their tables as guest went through the line. This was extremely appreciated by the parents of those “littles”. All correspondence with Jimmy Lyn’s was easy and prompt. I strongly recommend choosing them as your caterer.

First, I want to say that the whole experience started off wonderful with a tasting that was last minute on our part but so well done on their part. Second, the staff at Jimmy Lyn's works hard to help you find just the right menu to fit your tastes and budget. Third, the meal (almond crusted chicken w/chipotle cheese sauce, garlic green beans, scalloped potatoes and a spinach strawberry salad) was amazing. We have had so many of our guests ask us who catered our meal because it was one of the best they have had at a wedding!!

First off I wanna say how helpful and hardworking all the catering staff was for our wedding this past weekend. I cannot tell you how many times our guests came up and said how delicious and yummy the food was. Jimmy Lynn’s did a fantastic job and I highly recommend using them for all your catering needs. You WILL NOT be disappointed. They also picked up all the leftover food into containers for us at the end of the night which was amazing! Thank you guys for everything!!

We hired Jimmy Lyn’s Catering for our wedding and they were amazing! Moriah and Shayla were great every step of the way. They were always willing to answer any questions and help us in any way. The staff on the day of wedding were friendly and professional. The food was amazing as well! Great job to everyone!

Jimmy Lyn’s was one of three tastings we did for our wedding. Jimmy Lyn’s catering was by far the cheapest and worked so well with us to create meals for special diet restrictions we had with guests. We had a plated dinner with a choice of almond crusted chicken or sirloin steak. We got endless compliments on both dishes , along with all the appetizers from all the guests! Would easily recommend them to anyone getting married!!

We had a great experience with Jimmy Lyn's catering for our wedding! They offer so many options and the food was wonderful! Communication leading up to our wedding day was easy and everything was great the day of. Highly recommend!

Jimmy Lyn’s was wonderful for our Rehearsal Dinner. They were so easy to work with and accommodated all our wishes. They arrived promptly, set up everything, cleaned up everything, and even offered to help with anything we needed. We did the buffet style and had sliced brisket, pulled pork, Jimmy’s beans, and scalloped potatoes. The tables were set with strawberry spinach salad, dinner rolls, and glass of water when everyone arrived. The food was delicious! Better than I ever expected! The service even during the meal was great! I can’t say enough good things about Jimmy Lyn’s and the people they sent out!

Great price for great communication, great food, and wonderful service! Jimmy Lyn’s worked with us for our cake, food, and florals and we have no regrets! Everything was stress free and easy and the best food we sampled!

We LOVED Jimmy Lyn's catered BBQ at our wedding. We did tasting with a few catering companies that serve BBQ before our tasting with Jimmy Lyn's. During the tasting, we immediately knew we had to go with them. Our guests are still complimenting the bacon wrapped chicken jalepeno popper appetizer, the brisket carving station,  and the scalloped potatoes! The quality of the food and service was spectacular. The buffet line for 140 moved very quickly and people went up for seconds! Plate portions were big - which we appreciated after attending weddings in the past where we still feel hungry after dinner. Shayla & Team made sure the food was perfect and our guests were happy. They also provided us with a Bride/Groom togo plate - it was yummy! Highly recommend using Jimmy Lyn's for your wedding day!

We had our wedding May 2022. We got jimmy Lynn’s to cater our wedding. We had a great experience at our initial tastings with Moriah and Shayla, but when it came the day of the chicken looked under cooked, pink and rubbery. We got the smoked mozzarella chicken and it did not taste like the first time we tried it. We got the buffet line so it would be easier and quicker to serve our guests. They told us it would be 15-30 minutes but it took about an hour. We had told Jimmy Lynn’s we would have 115 guests and they provided us with only 4 servers. And they were very young servers. There was no sense of urgency and no direction. We had included 15 kids meals in our package and they were not served in the buffet lines to the kids. We had to wake the servers about the kids meals. They served them all late after everyone had gotten their food. The servers had their setup in our guest house and had some spills in the kitchen my Mother in law had to ask the server if she could clean up the mess. The main server that was in charge seemed mad and frustrated. Another thing that was included that we purchased was ice. But once the day came they were asking my mother in law for ice. We told them we had bought it through jimmy Lynn’s and they were supposed to provide it but they told my mother in law they didn’t have any. Once it came to the cake cutting half of the guests tables weren’t even picked up off their tables. We had to ask the servers to clean up please. No urgency to clear the tables. Our server that cut the cake was very slow at cutting it and after it was all done and put away half my guests told me they were not served cake. For the price that we paid we did not get the quality or service. At the end when they were packing up leftovers they were asking my mother In law for aluminum foil? When we had gone to the tasting they told us they would package our leftovers and never told us we needed to provide aluminum foil or Togo boxes. My husband and I felt very stresses on our wedding day when we shouldn’t have had to worry about that stuff. I’m very sad and disappointed

We had jimmy Lynn's catering for our wedding and we couldn't have asked for a better caterer. They were AMAZING Would recommend them 1000X Love them!

So many positive things to say about Jimmy Lyn’s! The food- AMAZING! They have so many options for food items, they could do plated or buffet, offer upgrade packages on china, napkins, etc for such a great price, and the wait staff at the wedding were so kind and professional. There were absolutely no hiccups come wedding day and we had many compliments on our food. They even give you a little “to go” bag for the night of your wedding!! The only reason I can’t give them five stars is … the communication leading up to the wedding wasn’t the greatest. I would sometimes have to email them two or three times to get a response and most of the time the response only answered some of my questions. As a bride, you have so much stress and so many people you have to deal with leading up to your wedding and it’s hard to have to track someone down for some answers. Everyone we did talk to was very kind and professional…but I did want to warn future clients about that small issue I had! Despite that..I would 100% book them again :).

We hired Jimmy Lyn's to be our wedding caterer and it was an absolutely wonderful choice! The team was responsive to all my inquiries and questions before the event. They took the time to set up a tasting with us that was so good we pretty much booked them on the spot! They helped answer questions, set menus, and get all the details ready before the wedding. The day of they showed up on time, ready to serve and set up and the food was absolutely WONDERFUL! All our guests still talk about how good the food was! We would absolutely hire Jimmy Lyn's again! Thanks for making our wedding taste so good!

SO good! My husband joked that he didn't want the typical wedding "rubber chicken" and we definitely didn't get that from Jimmy Lyns. The food was just as good as our tasting and our guests were very pleased. Portions were huge, food was warm, and of course it tasted amazing. The team was great to work with from start to finish and we were super happy. Can't recommend them enough!

The food at our wedding was such a big highlight! We had several appetizers for cocktail hour, had the brisket for the meal and the service was flawless.

We scheduled a tasting with them and had on the calendar for weeks. We showed up that morning and no one was there. Finally someone called after we had been sitting for 10 minutes and said they had “overlooked” the tasting. We had been emailing and confirmed the week before. Do not recommend their services. Very unprofessional.

Jimmy Lyns catering is TOP NOTCH! The food is amazing and the service is spot on! They catered our wedding and everything was perfect. The servers were friendly and helpful in every way! They do not disappoint!

As a planner, every time Jimmy Lyn's is hired as the caterer, I am thrilled!! Not only is the food amazing, but the staff is the best in the biz. They truly care about each guest and go above and beyond to help in anyway they can. They are also so very flexible and able to be ready to go every time. As all weddings go, we have set times for dinner, but sometimes pictures run long or the bride and groom want to have a little extra time in the cocktail hour, and JL's has always been able to accommodate any last minute changes. They are truly a joy to work with!!!

Jimmy Lyn's was a dream to work with, especially during a pandemic. They were very kind and understanding and flexible. The food tasting was enjoyable and all questions were quickly answered leading up to the wedding. They were happy to accommodate. The food was great! The chicken bacon appetizers and the melon appetizers were fabulous. The steak and salmon was good too. The scalloped potatoes were especially good. Thanks Jimmy Lyn's!

Jimmy Lyn’s provided the best food for our wedding! It was so hard to choose what to have because everything we tried at the tasting was delicious! We received so many compliments from our guests also!!

I can't tell you how many guests came up to me after our wedding and told us how delicious our food was! Their food and wait staff were perfect! They even made us bride and groom take home boxes for the next day. They were very easy to work with especially during covid times. I also used them for my engagement dinner and their food was just as good. Highly recommend!

Tasting Review: Let me start off by saying not only was the setting professional, but welcoming as well. We were fortunate enough to have a brisket slider to taste instead of pork by some miraculous mishap. When I tell you that the brisket slider was Certified Grade A awesome, I mean it. We immediately put that on the list. I told my fiancée she could add whatever she wanted, but the Brisket Slider was a MUST. Throughout the tasting, the owner (Cayce) was serving, picking up plates, and sharing her stories. I can not speak for everyone, but I personally do not want to sit down with a vendor and feel like a salesperson is sitting across from me. Cayce is the exact opposite. Completely down to earth and also made us feel at home. I will leave you with the following. Bring your personality, your appetite, and Cayce will take care of the rest. You will leave full, your taste buds will have just won the lotto, and you will be pleased with not only the great conversation, but extremely impressed with the packages she has to offer.

We hired Jimmy Lyns for both my daughter’s wedding and her engagement party. Both times the food was excellent, the service was top notch, and the price was reasonable. Our guests complimented us on the meals. I highly recommend Jimmy Lyns, and I will hire them again when the need arises.

My daughter and I chose Jimmy Lyn’s Event and Catering for her wedding October 3rd, 2020. I had previously heard of Jimmy Lyn’s and how their food was so good. After attending a tasting their was no doubt it was Jimmy Lyn’s for my daughter’s wedding. The hardest part was deciding on the menu for her wedding. All the options were delicious! We decided on the brisket and sausage. The sides were Granma’s green beans, scalloped potatoes (a signature dish), spring mix salad and rolls. At the last minute we decided to have a cocktail hour so added appetizers. The appetizers were served on individual plates to the guests. Everyone loved the food! Guests kept coming up saying the food was exceptional! All night they kept saying how good everything was. And the brisket was the best they have ever had! And it is not just the exceptional food but the owners and staff as well. The owners and the staff are amazing! They worked so hard making sure everything was just right. As I said the hardest part is selecting the menu since all is so good! After that they take over and you have nothing to worry about. If ever need a caterer for your wedding or any event Jimmy Lyn’s is the one. Thank you Jimmy Lyn’s!

We could not have been more pleased with Jimmy Lyn’s Catering. We enjoyed the tasting and appreciated that they accommodated a last-minute guest. They did not pressure us in selecting food for the wedding and even offered some free services. They arrived on time with a professional set-up. The food was outstanding! The steak was tender and flavorful and the scalloped potatoes were the best I have ever eaten. Our guests raved about the food. We even got compliments on the salad! I highly recommend them!

Jimmy Lyn's did a fantastic job with the catering! Cayce is a very sweet and patient lady. She was very interested in making sure things were done how we wanted them. We spoke multiple times as things changed over the summer planning with COVID. We ended up going with plated meals to ensure all guests were put at ease and we as hosts were doing all we could to keep everyone safe. Jimmy Lyn's staff did an awesome job at having the tables set and serving the food timely. We were going to have a couple of charcuterie boards originally, but with COVID Cayce suggested serving it plated. The servings were generous and the presentation was still great! Several guests mentioned how good the appetizers were and we thought so too. The food was yummy! We had chicken nuggets and mac and cheese for the kids and brisket & chicken with scalloped potatoes and grilled vegetables with a side salad for the adults. The food was delicious!! Cayce was there early that day setting up the linens and she was there in the evening working along side her crew through the entire evening. We were very impressed with their professionalism and kindness. They were a wonderful group to work with and we loved their food. You will not be disappointed if you choose Jimmy Lyn's for your next catering event. They think of everything!

If you're looking for a wedding caterer, look no further than Jimmy Lyn's! They catered my wedding in September after we had to postpone due to COVID. When we had to postpone, they were so understanding and worked with us to ensure that we could still work together on our new date. First of all, the food is incredible. Our guests raved about how good the appetizers and entrees were. I'm still thinking about the mac and cheese bar we had! But beyond that, Jimmy, Cayce, and their team are professional and personable. They will work with you to ensure your event is everything you dream of. They are kind, flexible, and easy to work with. We had several last minute changes and Cayce was kind and flexible to help us work through them. I could not recommend Jimmy Lyn's more for superior food and the best service!

Jimmy Lyn's Catering was amazing for our wedding. Not only was the food delicious but they were so wonderful to work with. They really made the whole process easy and fun for us. All of the guest we spoke to at the wedding said how good the food and service was.

Jimmy Lyns catering provided our guests with the most delicious meal. We met Lani at an open house and immediately felt a connection. She was very informative and even reached out to us the next day to follow up. She gave us many options and scheduled a tasting for us. It was amazing. The portions our guest received were a good size and everything was delicious. There were a few hiccups after the wedding but they continued to provide excellent service and got everything taken care of!! Thank you all for the delicious food!!

As I walked around my wedding greeting my guest I heard two things from everyone, How beautiful my new wife is, and how AMAZING the food was! Jimmy Lyn's is the absolute best when it comes to catering in San Antonio. Not only do they have the best food, but they are prompt, professional, and easy to work with. Cayce and her team are the best in the industry. If you are looking for someone to cater your special day or any large event, look no further.

Jimmy Lyn’s catering is amazing! We had their BBQ brisket, scalloped potatoes and green beans served at our wedding and everyone loved their food! I come from a family who always BBQs so their expectations are pretty high and Jimmy Lyn’s did NOT disappoint!

Jimmy Lyn's is bar far the best BBQ I have had! They catered my wedding and all of our guests loved their brisket! They made sure all our guests were taken care of and so helpful when the night was done and helping to clean up! Such sweet people to have at our wedding! Highly recommend Jimmy Lyn's!!

Jimmy Lyn's is the best! Their food is AMAZING. We were getting compliments all night about how it was some of the best wedding food our guests had ever eaten. The entire staff was so easy to work with. They made sure we had everything we needed and always replied promptly to emails whenever we had questions. Not only did they cater our food, we also rented table linens and silverware from them and had them cut our cake. They took care of everything for us. They cleaned up throughout the night, packed up their own rentals, and boxed up all of our leftover food and cake for us. I would highly recommend choosing them!

Such a great caterer!! Cayce was super flexible, super sweet, and SUPER easy to work with. Their food was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! We did the carved pork tenderloin, squash, potatoes au gratin (holy crap sooo good), with a salad. We did fruit/cheese/crackers and the spinach dip for appetizers; we repeatedly were told how amazing (and unlike stereotypical wedding food) everything was. Could not recommend more!!

My wife and I worked with Leilani while planning our short-notice wedding. She is the definition of professionalism. We trusted her suggestions and could not have been happier. She kept the lines of communication open at all times, and bent over backwards to accommodate everything from vegan plates to the maid of honor's severe nut allergy. The wait staff went above and beyond on our big day. They surpassed "courteous" — our guests commented for days afterward on just how friendly and helpful they were. Of course, the food itself was delicious! From the pulled pork to the farro salad vegan plates, satisfaction was high! If you're in search of good people, professional service, and excellent food, Jimmy Lyn's will NOT disappoint.

Jimmy Lyn's catered our wedding on March 9 and it was fantastic! We did a fajita bar with beef, chicken, and veggie options. Not only was the food great, the service is excellent! The staff was there early and stayed until the end of the event to clean everything up. Their team is happy to work with you to create a menu that fits your needs. We honestly had a blast during our initial consultation and tasting with Leilani! Thank you all for making the process such an easy one!

Jimmy Lyn’s was a fantastic choice for our big day! The food was absolutely delicious, the staff was very professional, and we had no problems throughout the entire process. Our guests were raving about the food from cocktail hour until the end of the meal. We are so happy with everything they provided. Thank you, Jimmy Lyn’s!!

I really enjoyed working with everyone at Jimmy Lyn's! Sampling their scrumptious food and desserts was so much fun! We had a heck of time deciding between all of their amazing food options and I appreciate all of the questions they answered for us! We had food stations at the wedding and it was fun to see people move around and interact with each other. Not to mention, the food and dessert table were amazing! The staff was so helpful and made sure my husband and I had everything we needed. Thank y'all so much for taking care of us on our big day!

Everyone that I spoke with that worked for Jimmy Lyn's was so sweet! Cayce, Leilani, and Raquel were quick to respond to any questions I had. We did a tasting of BBQ and fajitas for our wedding but went with the BBQ (which was really the only thing that my husband had an opinion on for our wedding lol). Everything ran smoothly on our day, and I had multiple people come up to me and tell me how good the food was. The wait staff kept the tables clean, and I hardly even noticed they were there. I would definitely recommend Jimmy Lyn's for your big day!

The tasting at their home was professional and we got to taste a lot of different items. Everything was delicious! Wedding day: Pros:lots of comments on great tasting brisket. Service was good, wait staff attentive. Everyone was served quickly. Cons:• placed paper napkins on table when cloth rose fold napkin was already on the table, confusing guests. •Break down was chaotic. Not sure who told them to start when send off was happening, so we had no chance to direct the break down process even though we gave them our written break down process as required by the venue. • We were not told left over food would be used to feed staff after a platter was made for the Bride and Groom. Great food. Friendly staff Communication on the Day Of needs work

I had the pleasure of working with Cayce and Leilani for my wedding on 8/18/18. We booked with them over a year before our date after an amazing tasting and we were not disappointed. We even went with Leilani for her deserts and wedding cake that she did amazingly for us also! We had so many compliments on our menu and the food was perfect temperature. They worked great with our coordinators and served the tables quickly. Most importantly, the communication between them and us was great and I felt confident the entire time of there abilities to help us create a great day! Thank you again!

The food was amazing. I received a lot of complements from my guest about how delicious the food was.

The food was amazing on our wedding day!! The staff were so kind and the chicken and brisket along with the sides were the talk of the night from so many of our guests! The staff made us feel so comfortable and made sure we had extra food for us to take with us to our hotel on our wedding night!! Overall great service , very professional, and would highly recommend for catering!!

A 5-star review for the BEST catering team! Jimmy Lyn’s catered for our wedding a few days ago and they did a phenomenal job. We ended up choosing the Ultimate BBQ plate for our 200 guests and it was a knockout. The brisket was deliciously moist and our guests loved that it was carved right in front of them at the carving station. One of the side dishes we chose was the scalloped potatoes…and omg was it good. So smooth and creamy, like a little party in your mouth with every bite. Not only was the food great but so was the staff. Their whole team was super friendly and easy to work with. Special shout out to Lani for always going above and beyond, always responsive to my messages even if some were late at night :) and just in general for superior customer service. My husband and I felt so taken care of with Jimmy Lyn’s - we highly recommend them for your catering needs!

Cannot say enough great things about this company. From the tasting to the big day, they were SO helpful. I had so many questions and changed things up a few weeks before the wedding and they really helped guide this bride!!! I also ordered our grooms cake (a German chocolate cake) and got so many compliments on it!!! Everyone wanted the recipe! We had compliments on the food, of course. Best BBQ ever! The food really speaks for itself but their service iIMPECCABLE! Thank you JimmyLyn’s!

Jimmy Lyn's catered our wedding last month. They did a really great job. We requested an all vegan menu since my husband and I are vegan and it was very important that we have a plant based meal for our wedding. They were willing to work with us and came up with an amazing dinner and appetizers for our guests to enjoy. Everyone complimented us on how great the food was! All of the staff at Jimmy Lyn's are so kind. Damien was always quick to answer any questions I had. Lani and Cayce were very sweet and on top of everything. It was a great experience. I would recommend them again!

Food was excellent! Everyone complimented on our food and some still mention it now, 2 months later. Passed appetizers were a huge success too (we did prosciutto cantaloupe bites and bacon wrapped dates). The crew at Jimmy Lyn’s are professional and thorough. If you’re looking for good quality food at fair prices, look no further! And go with their mixed green cranberry salad, so good!

We would rate higher if we could!! From our tasting and even after our wedding everyone was incredibly helpful. The food is unbelievable and our guests couldn’t say enough about how great everything was. They were a big part of our wedding and helpful in so many ways. All staff were professional, polite and polished. They have always gone above and beyond and stayed in communication the whole time. We are sad its over just because we gained such incredible friends! You have to go with them because they are just phenomenal!

Amazing food and customer service! Food was one of the most important parts of our wedding, so we wanted to do it right. Jimmy Lyn’s definitely delivered. From beginning to end, they were wonderful. We chose to serve BBQ, and our guests have not stopped raving about it since the wedding a few weeks ago.

Delicious food! Great to work with too!
