About This Vendor
Local, organic and personalized for you
Royal Fig Catering is a farm-to-table wedding caterer from Austin, TX. This team prides themselves on their simple, seasonal, and fresh approach that uses ingredients from organic farms throughout central Texas. Royal Fig Catering is an award-winning, family-owned catering team that is ready to go above and beyond to bring you the best food and overall catering experience for your special day. With their delicious, locally inspired recipes and courteous customer service, your wedding day will have the menu it deserves. The owners of Royal Fig Catering, Kristen and Dan, created the company after their wedding. The couple wanted a menu that truly represented the seasonal cuisine Dan loved to cook, but they couldn’t find a caterer who could truly realize that vision. Dan decided to cook all the meals himself and after the wedding festivities started to wind down, the light bulb went off in his head. He knew there must be other couples looking for the same seasonal menus for their events. While Dan worked on creating recipes and looking for kitchen space, Kristen started making connections in the event community. Three months later, their company was officially launched. From their beginnings as a small Westlake storefront, Royal Fig Catering has expanded to a team of over 150 employees that delight in making every couple's big day special with heartwarming food. Royal Fig Catering has a natural way of bringing a touch of rustic elegance to each wedding they serve. Each staff member and the bartender are TABC certified, experienced, and ready to handle anything that is thrown their way to make sure your vision becomes a reality. Royal Fig Catering offers both full catering for more extravagant weddings, and limited catering for smaller, intimate weddings. Other services that they provide include mobile kitchen, servers, bartenders, setup and cleanup, and event rentals. Each dish is crafted from fresh local ingredients to make the most of every flavor. The company provides a customizable seasonal menu that can include a selection of hors d'oeuvres, entrees, and desserts that best fit your vision.

Delicious, Elevated, Exquisit! It was very important for my husband and I to find a caterer that not only serves organic, farm to table ingredients, but also a chef who creates an elevated, refined menu. After going through a list of caterers p...
resented from our venue, Royal Fig gave us every impression that they were exactly what we were looking for, and even better, their story of how they started Royal Fig is truly precious PLUS we learned after we hired our wedding planner that she used Royal Fig for her wedding as well! Harley was our coordinator and the first person that reached out to us after we submitted an inquiry online. She is extremely sweet, responsive and very accommodating throughout the entire process. Before our tasting, we thought we nailed exactly what we wanted for our menu, however, Harley added a few more suggestions for passed appetizers that weren’t on our radar. And I’m so glad she did because we ended up altering the menu after our tasting. THE FOOD IS MORE THAN AMAZING! Every single guest of ours was blown away by the food and presentation. Even after a month of our wedding, we are still hearing how incredible the food was and that most weddings never have delicious food like Royal Fig. To highlight we had: Chicken and Waffles Skewers (My ultimate fav), Drunkin Meatballs, Mini Crab Cakes, Texas Ribeye, Texas Ranch Spiced Chicken served with Fennel Roasted Heirloom Carrots and Creme Fraiche Mashed Potatoes. All mouth watering dishes, even me writing this takes me back! They also offer amazing full services - bartending, waitstaff, the ability to order all rental items we needed, etc - which really made the entire process stress free. Thank you Royal Fig for giving us an extraordinary experience for not only our wedding guest, but for my husband and I as well. Thank you Harley for being such an incredible resource. And for anyone reading this who is questioning catering services to hire, I promise you will not go wrong hiring one of the best caterers for your event!
Hiring Royal Fig to do our catering and bartending for our wedding was absolutely the right choice! Their staff is super communicative, professional, and organized. We didn't have to worry about a single thing with them the day of our wedding. ...
The food is also delicious, you're getting quality food that isn't the standard "wedding food" you would normally expect. Their menu is diverse and gives you a wide variety of options to customize the menu the way you want it. Highly recommend using them!!
We chose Royal Fig Catering based on reading prior reviews of the amazing food and we are so happy we did! From our tasting to actual wedding night, the staff was professional and easy to work with. All the staff on the night of the wedding wer...

had a drink in hand. The service was amazing and the staff was so friendly and warm the entire night. They completed our full service set up and “flipped” the space in our venue from ceremony to reception set up, and it looked beautiful. Thank you for making our night perfect!!
Royal Fig was such a great vendor to work with! I feel like they helped us consolidate multiple wedding day needs including the catering, bartending, reception/ceremony setup/breakdown, Champagne tower, and rentals (tablecloth, table settings, ...
etc). We worked with Morgan Bryant leading up to the wedding and she was a rockstar at answering questions and helping with all the details. The day of staff was amazing and provided great customer service! Multiple guests shared feedback how good the food was. I would highly suggest working with Royal Fig!
Your guests and tastebuds will thank you!! We were so impressed at every step in the process, their local ingredients, scratch-made food, and genuine care for their clients and guests put them head and shoulders above the rest. Food service at ...

Cannot recommend Royal Fig Catering enough! The food was absolutely delicious and the service was incredible (both leading up to wedding day and during wedding day! After reviewing the list of caterers recommended from our venue, Royal Fig stoo...
d out to us the most for their quality and service! Everyone we worked with throughout the process were extremely sweet, responsive, flexible, and very accommodating. We thought we knew exactly what we wanted before our tasting but they recommended to add a few others to our tasting just to confirm. Boy were they right! We made some adjustments to our menu and could not believe how delicious the food was, not just for wedding catering but even restaurant quality! Every single guest of ours was blown away by the food and presentation. Thank you Royal Fig for giving us an extraordinary experience for not only our wedding guests, but for my husband and I as well. I cannot recommend Royal Fig enough and you will NOT be disappointed if you hire this catering company!
Royal Fig was a pleasure to work with during our wedding! Morgan was our amazing coordinator and she worked with us and our planner to make sure everything was perfect from the initial tasting through the late night snack at the end of our rece...
ption. We got married on NYE and wanted to make it a PARTY! From the start their bartenders were outside the venue handing out champagne to guests to have a drink when they sat down for the ceremony. Once we were married they had our favorite drinks ready and waiting for us. They made private special meals for my wife and I and made sure we were fed and had a drink in our hand the entire night. Now for the guests. They could not stop raving about how good the specialty cocktails and food was all night. We had a spicy Texas mule and saucy fig for our cocktails. These were amazing! Since we partied until midnight, we added a coffee bar and guests could add Bailey's, etc. at the bar for a little pick me up. We had brisket grilled cheese sandwiches for our late night snack and they were very well received by our guests. There are not enough great things we can say about Royal Fig. From the tasting experience to dropping off all the alcohol and cleaning up after the wedding, they were easy, fun, and made the night run smoothly! I can't forget to mention again how amazing all the food was!! Guests are still talking about the chicken fingers. Book Royal Fig for your wedding if you want unique and high-quality food and a stress free night!
I don’t know how they did it, but they somehow had everyone’s drinks memorized! We would be walking toward the bar and they were already making our drinks or popping the top off of a Miller Lite for me. I thought maybe it was just mine and Jeff...
’s order that they knew, but I had multiple guests tell me how great the bartenders were and that they had other people’s orders ready to go as they were walking up too. They crushed it!!
Oh my gosh, SO DELICIOUS our guests wiped clean all the food so many people went back for more and more. So perfect for a fall wedding and they accommodated my members with celiac diets and my vegan friend. Super tasty, and very convenient to r...

livered and our guests still talk about how much they loved the food at our wedding. Ashely and Kristen were both so accommodating and easy to work with as well. Could not recommend their catering services more!
We loved working with Royal Fig! Leading up to the wedding, they communicated promptly and answered every question we asked. They allowed us to make changes very close to the wedding day which was so helpful with the current COVID situation. On...
the day, the food was fantastic and impressed our guests! The team even ensured there was a server to ensure that my husband and I had full drink glasses all night! We really loved working with Morgan and her team at Royal Fig and would do it again for any future events!
Their food is the most delicous food we've ever had in our entire lives.
If you want to make your guests happy, please go for royal fig. They will be a star at your wedding. They also did our wedding cake along with catering and bartending and...
were just phenomenal. At least 15 of our guests asked us who was our caterer, their food is that delicious.
Cheyenne was such an easy person to follow up with and very accommodating of our needs and did so much to make our wedding day such a huge success.
Royal fig you are an absolute rockstar caterer.
Royal Fig was fantastic! We seriously received so many unsolicited comments from our friends and family raving about the food at our wedding. Claudia was so pleasant and easy to work with, and the entire team on the day of our wedding was great...
. They were flexible in planning out our menu and determining our setup with the pandemic. We asked for a special app off of the menu, and they gladly accommodated our request. We would definitely recommend Royal Fig!
Royal Fig was one of the recommended caterers from our venue and we are SO glad we decided to work with them! We had to reschedule our wedding from 2020 to 2021 and their team made it so easy and were very understanding. Everyone we worked with...
there was professional and responsive, but Sarah W. really helped to make our wedding day perfect. She answered every question of mine in a timely manner, and was very helpful with guest allergies and last minute changes we wanted to make. The food was AMAZING! We had a buffet and all of our guests appreciated that they were able to try out two different types of meat at the wedding and all of the sides were perfect. We also ordered our small cutting cake through Royal Fig and had cupcakes for the guests, they were a huge hit! They also handled our bartending and their team was great. Thank you Royal Fig team!
I am the mother of the bride . Please note that I have never written a negative review. I value the hard work that small businesses do, especially in a year of a pandemic, shut downs, supply chain issues and staffing issues. So, I will star...
t with the positive. The food at Royal Fig was delicious.
Here was the problem: WE RAN OUT OF FOOD! At the pasta station, from the first table that was served, when people asked for more, or said that it was the only thing they were eating for dietary/preference reasons, they were told that they could not have more, including for the bride. Eventually, all the food ran out other than plain lettuce at our vegetable/salad station. I believe all the tables were served what they wanted during their first pass, other than the pasta. There was just nothing left for anybody who wanted more of anything.
The on-site catering director was Kristen Stacy, who is co-owner of Royal Fig. She realized from the beginning that we had shortages and problem solved by limiting the portions that people were allowed to receive, at least at the pasta station.
Second, I was not told about these shortages, other than by my wedding guests who were laughing that they were told “no more” of the pasta. I would have had a very different opinion of the night and the catering, had I or my wedding planner been brought into the decision making when it was discovered that we had a food shortage.
Third, nobody from Royal Fig, including our contact person, Cheyenne, or Kristen came to me after the event to explain what happened and offer an apology. In fact, it was only when I questioned the amount of food, three days later, that I was told that there was a 20% shortage in the amount of food that was delivered to the event. And, by the way, we had at least 7 people cancel at the last minute. Thus, we should have had plenty of extra food. At that point, with apologies, an offer was made to allow me not to pay for 20% of the food - that portion that not delivered. Quite frankly, had I not come to them, I can only assume no offer would have been made, and that would have been theft -keeping my money for goods not delivered. And to be clear, that offer did not include the tax or service charge or tip on the 20% that was not delivered.
In terms of a final resolution, I asked for my last payment to be refunded due to our embarrassment, extra costs assumed in the 20% that was not delivered and overall lack of professionalism in the delivery of the services we paid for. Kristin came back to me with an offer to double the amount of the refund she had offered. This was not much more than the 20% plus the service/tip/tax on that 20% and did not account adequately for our embarrassment that our guests were not given enough food. She indicated this was fair and would not go higher.
I want to be clear that it was not just the shortage which so frustrated me. It was a total disregard of problem solving with me. I would have ordered pizza that night if that was the only way to have enough food. I would have been understanding had someone called me right after the event to discuss it without waiting for me to reach out first. I would have been pacified had they brought me into the problem solving for the resolution for this debacle, after the fact. None of this happened.
I remain quite embarrassed that this happened. I am making this review sadly. I wish things were different.
Royal Fig was really fun to work with and took my feedback so well. We had a specific menu and vision in mind, RF did such a great job making it a reality. And for real y'all, the food was delicious. We did a guacamole bar at cocktail hour, pas...
sed horderves, taco bar, the best mexican chop salad and churros for dessert! But I have to say my favorite was the cocktails, blood orange margarita and a whiskey smash. I was nervous they would be too sweet - they of course were perfect, but made me feel better by letting us try week of. Highly recommend!
We wanted to make sure that everything at our wedding was memorable, and we can definitely say, Royal Fig was one of the most memorable parts. The food was even better at the wedding than it was at the original tasting. Family and friends have ...
continued to talk about how amazing the food was, and how well the service was. The Royal Fig team performed flawlessly and we can't even fully describe how happy we were with the food and the service. Thank You soo much for helping us create such an amazing memory. You can't go wrong with the braised short ribs, the mashed potatoes, the chicken, and the truffle bacon mac & cheese. We worked with Ashley and Cora and they had every detail covered! The bartending staff was amazing and there was never a line for drinks ensuring that our dance floor was full and focused on having the best time.
Royal Fig Catering was so great to work with. We shopped around town a bit for caterers, but ultimately landed on Royal Fig for their versatile menu and competitive pricing. They were incredibly gracious and flexible with us when we needed to p...
ostpone due to the pandemic - which made the entire process so much less stressful.
We loved the BYO bar packages which offered flexibility on our end when it came to the bar and what we wanted to offer at our wedding. The team there was super responsive and communicative and are pros across the board. The food was delicious (we opted for the elote bar and taco stations) and the onsite team was incredible and took really good care of us and our guests all night. Highly recommend!
Royal Fig was great - I worked with Ashley and Kristen who were both outstanding, responsive, helpful, and patient with me and my billion questions and changes. The service on the wedding day and the bartender were great! I didn't have to worry...
about a thing. Everyone always had a drink in hand. We did the bbq buffet and the guests absolutely loved the meats, Mac and cheese, and potato salad. The brisket sliders were my favorite - SO GOOD. I only knocked one star off because the cornbread was terrible as much as I hate to say it! It was good at our tasting, but on the wedding day it was inedible and our guests agreed. Not sure what happened with that but in the grand scheme of things it wasn't a big deal but just wanted to mention it! I still would book Royal Fig again in a heartbeat! They also picked up the alcohol and assisted with rentals. They really made planning as simple as possible and as a bride that is invaluable! Thank you Royal Fig for everything!
Y'all - every table my husband and I talked to during our reception could not stop talking about the food (specifically the honey sriracha fried chicken - droooool). Royal Fig did an amazing job, everything was delicious and the service was gre...
at. We hired them for family style service and it was the perfect mix between buffet and plated. Huge perk to using them - they will pick up your rentals for you AND your Spec's order which takes a ton off of your plate for your big day. Royal Fig knows what they're doing, and they do it well. Big shout out to Jesse :) Thanks so much!!
Royal Fig was absolutely wonderful and easy to work with for our wedding! All of our guests genuinely commented about how much they loved the dinner, as well as our elote bar for cocktail hour, and appreciated the coffee bar towards the end of ...
the night with our cake! Thank you to both Ashley and then Sarah for all of your effort!

Royal Fig is incredible! We worked with Cheyenne for catering and Tody with the bartending side and both were so helpful and wonderful. Our dinner was delicious with amazing service from the staff. All of our guests raved about how attentive o...
ur bartending staff was all night and our signature drinks we so good that hardly anyone drank any of the beer or wine. Highly recommend working with them!
We were so fortunate to work with Jesse and Royal Fig as our wedding caterer. Jesse was so helpful as we went through numerous changes to our menu, and multiple tastings. He was always quick to respond to any questions we had, and offered sugge...
stions and advice when we needed it. Having Royal Fig available to pick up our alcohol, bring the cake, bring and work the bar and serve as caterer for Cocktail Hour and Reception made our lives so much simpler. We really couldn’t ask for anything more for our wedding day.
Omg, they were Amazing!!!!!! The best food I’ve ever had! But that’s just scratching the surface. We worked with Harley primarily and she was fantastic! She was so knowledgeable and helpful and responsive! She always got back to me so quickly! ...
One of the really awesome things was they picked up our alcohol order from the specs on Brodie, and that was a huge relief that we didn’t have to do that the day of! On the big day, the entire staff was so professional and friendly and helpful. The bar tenders were great! I am so so happy that we went with them! And our guests loved the food! It was so delicious! Food was one of the most important things to us for our wedding and we were not disappointed!
Royal Fig was fantastic! They first came across my radar because a patient of mine had recommended them to me after having a great experience with her own wedding. They also came highly recommended from my coordinators. We received many, many, ...
many compliments from guests about the food, the drinks, and the friendly service. They were also super accommodating when we had requested plexiglass in front of the buffet due to covid concerns. Thank you Royal Fig!!!
We live in Dallas but chose to get married in Austin, so finding the perfect vendors felt difficult at times. On a quick trip down to ATX we decided to do a tasting at Royal Fig and we are SO grateful we did. We immediately knew we had to have ...
them. On the day of, their execution was perfect and the staff was so friendly to all the guests. They paid my husband and I extra special attention and made sure we had everything we needed at every moment. If you're getting married in Austin you HAVE to call Royal Fig!
So happy I chose Royal Fig for our caterer. They worked with us on our forever changing menu, guest count, and specific needs likely over 40-50 times, and somehow day of everything was 100% correct. The food was excellent, the staff was profess...
ional and so friendly, their prices were pretty impossible beat, and they were punctual and on top of it. Absolutely recommend them!
Royal Fig is a step above all caterers. From the beginning they made everything so easy and they excel at everything they do. We worked with Jesse and he was amazing! He is so professional and would always respond promptly to any email we sent....
We are so thankful to have worked with him. The food at our wedding was one of the most important things to us and Royal Fig did not disappoint. Everyone complimented how incredible the food and the service was! Highly recommend booking with Royal Fig!

Good food
We loved working with Royal Fig! Jesse was incredibly easy to work with and very responsive--especially since we were planning this wedding during a pandemic and from afar. Cora worked with us the day of our wedding and was so great. The food w...
as delicious and an absolute hit!! We highly recommend the Shiner Bock Short Ribs & Chicken Pot Pie! 10/10 for service, professionalism and of course the food!
Wow.
That's all I can say. From the first time I reached out to them for a quote down to my actual wedding day, Jesse and Cheyenne were the bomb to work with.
The food? OMG... THE FOOD. You're not going to be disappointed, I have 100000% faith ...
in this team. My guests are literally still talking about how they wish they could just eat the shiner bock short ribs every day for the rest of their life haha It was pricier than other caterers and our bill ended up being around $7800 for 75 people but it was so worth it. I HIGHLY recommend Royal Fig and their crew!
Royal Fig was INCREDIBLE! Not only was the food phenomenal, but working with Jesse & Cora was such a wonderful experience as well! Royal Fig came highly recommended from our wedding planner and venue, and they were by far one of our favorite v...
endors. We received so many compliments on the food that it was the best wedding food that our guests ever had. Something that I thought was a very nice touch was that on the wedding day, my husband and I had a dedicated server who brought us a plated meal and our drink of choice. Additionally, for family photos, the server brought our families out the passed appetizers too as well as our drink of choice! Top-notch service. To all Austin brides out there, look no further! Royal Fig is your go-to!!
My husband and I were married this past weekend, and all I have to say is - WOW!
We used Royal Fig Catering and Bar for our wedding, and what a wonderful experience it was! We had a million and one questions but their team was so helpful, resp...
onsive, and patient and walked us through the entire process (shout-out to Jesse!)
On top of the amazing customer service, the food was INCREDIBLE. We were blown away at our initial tasting and couldn't wait for our guests to experience the meal we had selected. Normally, wedding food tends to be a little disappointing, but the menu at RF was elevated and executed perfectly.
RF team - we cannot thank you enough for everything! Thank you for playing a part in making our day so special and perfect!
-Jennafer and Adam
Royal Fig was absolutely amazing for our wedding! They went above and beyond from the tasting to the decorations on the cake table the day of the wedding. We used them for our cocktail hour appetizers, dinner, cake and late night breakfast taco...
s. One month before our wedding, my baker backed out and Royal Fig was able to seamlessly add our cake into the plan. They were also willing to work with us stay within our budget. The staff was so friendly and especially Cora was so helpful, thorough, prompt, responsive, and thoughtful– She even made sure to bring us champagne and appetizers after our ceremony! This is all not to mention the food! The best wedding food we've ever had! We can’t recommend them enough– Thank you so much Cora and the Royal Fig team!
Royal Fig catered such an incredible meal for our wedding! Although we originally planned and tasted a “stations” meal, we had to switch to a seated dinner due to the pandemic. Regardless, every bite was delicious! Having a great meal was one o...
f our top priorities for our reception, and Royal Fig did not disappoint. We received so many compliments on the meal from our guests! I also loved that RF focused on local, seasonal ingredients, which definitely contributed to the flavor. Jesse was so helpful and kind throughout all of our planning and multiple revisions to the menu. We appreciate him and the entire team at Royal Fig who helped make our wedding amazing! We cannot recommend them enough!
RF is seriously the best!! Working with Jesse was a joy and we could not be more pleased with how everything turned out. I had my caterer cancel on me, and my planner introduced me to RF, and within the day i had a quote. The food and service w...

Absolutely delicious. Royal Fig was easy to work with, willing to help us work within a budget, and easily had the best food of all the places we tried. I could not recommend Royal Fig more highly.

h (to die for), their cheese board (wow), the biscuit bar (not quite as good as Grandma's but VERY fun and quite delicious - guests loved it), and a few other sides. It was amazing.
I NEED MORE STARS!
We planned a quick wedding in about 3 months and we are so glad we found Royal Fig. Claudia was our coordinator and she was the absolute best. They were so accommodating, easy to work with and the food was UNBELIEVABLE. If I ...
had a dollar for every person who came up to me and said... "This food is unreal... Wedding food is never good!"... I could have this wedding all over again. Being such a quick turnaround, we didn't have time to get to Austin for a tasting after we hired them so we put our full trust in Claudia for the menu. She gave us great recommendations and the whole process was just seamless. The set up was flawless and the staff was incredibly professional. I never thought I'd be craving wedding food, but here we are! I cannot say enough good things.
Royal Fig is absolutely amazing!!! Food was one of the top aspects of my husband and I's wedding that we cared most about, which is why we chose Royal Fig! From the quality, beautiful presentation, attention to detail, and service...we have not...
hing but AMAZING things to say! Everything was perfect! The filet mignon was probably the best filet we both have ever had, cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. We worked directly with Jesse, who was outstanding the entire process. Thank you for making our wedding day incredible. We are already looking forward to catering events in the future!
It was a pleasure working with Royal Fig. The staff was very attentive at my wedding. My RF coordinator Jesse was very professional and easy to work with. I had to reschedule my wedding twice due to covid and they worked with us & never made us...
pay any extra fees! The only complaint I have is that our appetizers for Happy Hour were very different from our tasting (very small & less flavor) other than that the reception dinner was delicious and the servers & bartenders did an amazing job. I would recommend Royal Fig for your wedding.... farm to table is the way to go!
The food was so delicious!! So many people loved the food at our wedding, especially the creamy mushroom soup. And OMG, the desserts were out of this world. Everyone keeps raving about the pies and how delicious they were. The catering staff wa...
s incredible!!!! They were so, so sweet and they were even very invested in the wedding. I could see them applauding when we walked into the reception and also shedding some tears during the speeches. I really did not expect them to show such excellent service. They truly helped make our day magical.
Also, we worked with Cheyenne and she was so sweet on our tasting and made excellent choices. She was very flexible with me and my indecisiveness. She took my budget into account to make something work from what I wanted to spend.
Royal Fig was absolutely amazing!!! We had to reschedule our wedding twice due to COVID and sadly lost our original caterer. We reached out to Royal Fig just 5 months before our wedding day and not only were they more than willing to help us, t...
hey also recreated our entire menu from our original caterer without a second thought. And to top it off, I have a gluten allergy so Royal Fig made every single thing on our menu, from the pasta bar down to the garlic bread, gluten free! It was AMAZING. I know gluten free food can get a bad rap, but their food was incredible and you couldn’t even tell it was gluten free. We got so many comments from our guests about how much they loved the food. And then last but definitely not least, the late night queso bar we asked for was SO good and a massive hit!
Claudia was the best - she is the nicest person and was so helpful! She took care of everything and even found me during the reception to bring me a plate from the queso bar - and thank god because I wasn’t paying attention and would’ve missed it! When we originally rescheduled, she reached out to our original caterer to make sure they had all the details, which was really helpful considering I’d forgotten some of the small things that we’d planned on for the first wedding date. The servers were all so personable and helpful, and they coordinated a last minute champagne toast for us to kick off the speeches as well. My husband and I had a sweetheart table and were absolutely starving before dinner after all of our photos, and Royal Fig had already set a plate down at our table for us before we sat down so we could immediately have some of the appetizers we missed from the cocktail hour. We also had our own servers at our sweetheart table, and they were so attentive and friendly!
Royal Fig was so wonderful to work with and so flexible and accommodating. And you can’t beat their amazing food of course! I would highly recommend them - and wish I could have their food every night!
Our guests couldn’t stop talking about the food! We got so many compliments about our appetizers and our BBQ buffet. They were very cautious of COVID while delivering great service! Everything was amazing from the tasting to the wedding night...
. They also provided our cake and the minute I had the lemon lavender at the tasting I couldn’t wait to have it on our wedding day! Every part of the service and food was perfection!
Beware if you sign a contract with Royal Fig Catering! The owner, Kristen, is ruthless, insensitive and lacks compassion. My daughter’s wedding had to be canceled due to the repercussions from the winter snow/ice storm that occurred over Valen...
tine’s Day 2021 in Texas and multiple other states. The private residence for the wedding ceremony and reception lost all power and water less than one week before the wedding, making it impossible to follow through with our wedding plans. Plus, roads and highways were impassable making travel dangerous for friends, family and loved ones to attend the wedding. All of our vendors, except, for Royal Fig Catering, were more than willing to work with us to reschedule the event to a Sunday in the near future. When we contacted the owner, Kristen, to inform her of our many troubles, predicaments, and challenges and to seek a new date for rescheduling the event, she informed us that she had already incurred all of her food costs for our event. She said that rescheduling the wedding to another date made them unavailable for new bookings in which the new clients would be paying full price, which would result in a loss of revenue for her company. We never asked for a refund, only that she have a little compassion and work with us on potential rescheduling dates (we were only offered days, Monday through Thursday, one Friday, and Easter Sunday as potential rescheduling dates along with additional fees required.) We had no control over the fact that the winter storm occurred less than seven days prior to the event. At that point in time, we had already paid the total amount of the catering fee for the event. We lost all of our money! We donated all of the food and beverage to a local family crisis center. The owner is only motivated by money and has no sense of decency, kindness or human compassion. After the previous year we have all experienced, you would think human decency would prevail. We will never use Royal Fig Catering again or ever recommend their services to anyone in the future.
Response from the Vendor on 03/09/2021
Dear Laura, I'm sorry you feel this way. Since your event was a week after the storm and the weather forecast was promising, we agreed to extend your contract to the following day at no charge and even found you another beautiful venue to use. ...
Since you did not accept this offer and insisted in rescheduling to a date we could not accommodate, we suggested another way to recoup your investment by donating the food to charity and writing it off on your taxes, which we happily facilitated for you. We wanted to help you and proposed many ways to do so, but found it very difficult to work with your family and the attorney you ultimately got involved.
We have 150 employees to support, so accusing a small business of not being compassionate because we aren't willing to sacrifice future revenue and the well-being of our staff is far from fair - especially after the year we just had. Compassion needs to go both ways.
Hey there! 👋🏼 Wedding planner here! I just needed to stop by this morning and remind everyone to find you a team to show up on your wedding day the way Royal Fig does! Last night’s wedding had been postponed twice and we ended up losing our o...
riginal caterer. Royal Fig stepped in with an ALL gluten free meal for our clients, a pasta bar, amazing apps, full bar, champagne toast (without even having to check in), and so much more. AND the set up team was all women!!!! It was amazing and the feminist in me was so happy to watch women moving heavy tables and chairs. 💪🏼 Claudia is an amazing captain and handled all of the requests we had before the big day and was on site ready to make it happen on the wedding day! Thank you team for making this planners night so much more flawless!
We used Royal Fig to cater our wedding (and to provide meals for the bridesmaids and groomsmen the day of the wedding) and they were absolutely amazing. Jesse was our point person, and he was incredibly responsive and helpful. I went back and f...
orth a few times between stations and plated, and Jesse gave me honest advice based on his extensive experience. Ultimately, we ended up going with plated after having to postpone our wedding due to Covid. The food itself was insanely delicious and the staff was extremely professional. I highly recommend Royal Fig and Jesse!
We love Royal Fig! We originally hired them to cater our wedding with 100+ people and they were so accommodating when we downsized to just 23 guests due to Covid concerns. The food was delicious and the staff was so friendly and kind. They chec...
ked on my husband and I multiple times throughout our dinner to ensure that we were taken care of. We worked with Cora for our planning process and Claudia was there the day of, both Cora and Claudia were amazing! I definitely recommend Royal Fig, thank you!
Royal Fig is amazing! We had planned a 150-person wedding for May of 2020, and had to postpone and downsize to a 20-person wedding in October 2020. One month before our wedding, our original caterer called and let us know that they were going o...
ut of business due to the pandemic. They referred us to Royal Fig, and we are so grateful they did. Royal Fig went above and beyond making sure we were able to make a consultation and tasting happen with plenty of time to spare before the wedding. Cheyenne was friendly, helpful, thorough, prompt, responsive, and thoughtful - all of the things you’d hope for in a wedding vendor. She provided clear instructions and details about what she needed from us, which made the wedding day go off without a hitch. Royal Fig was great in adapting a spring menu to a fall menu, and made our wedding everything we could hope for. Multiple guests said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had - we even thought the day-of food was somehow even tastier than it had been at the tasting! We can’t recommend them enough- thank you so much Cheyenne and the Royal Fig team!
Absolutely LOVED our experience with Royal Fig as our December 2020 wedding caterer!!! The food was absolutely delicious. We selected the filet and the Cajun red fish for our entrees, the sweet potato salad, and several of the tasty passed apps...
. Everything was a HIT! They were amazing to work with - from the amazing tasting to modifying the guest list last minute, they were awesome. Would absolutely recommend!!!
Royal Fig Catering was an incredible vendor to work with for our wedding day! Everyone on the team was so professional and so focused on amazing service. My guests were thrilled by the attentiveness of Royal Fig's staff and service. The food wa...
s delicious and everything on the table was laid out exactly as we wanted! The team was so flexible with the constant changes with the growing pandemic and kept me in the loop every step of the way. I was overwhelmingly happy with the service and food we received from this amazing vendor, they are a MUST hire for your wedding day!
I knew from the start this would be our cater. And let me tell you they did not disappoint! The food was amazing, starting with cocktail hour all the way to late night snacks. Planning during Covid had its challenges, including having to change...
our family style service. Royal Fig was quick on their toes for figuring out a plan B. We had about half the amount of guest then originally planned and they never made me feel pressured or bad for decreasing the amounts several times. I would have my wedding all over again just to eat our dinner one more time!
I could not believe that we were able to book Royal Fig for our wedding for the same price it would have been to have a BBQ restaurant cater. The food and the service were beyond 5 stars. They catered our wedding on 11/7/2020 and the food was a...
bsolutely delicious. Their menu had a great selection to choose from with good portion sizes and was much better than your "average wedding food". We did buffet service and they had great protocols in place to ensure everyone's safety during COVID. We also did a dessert bar through them and the lemon shortbread cookie and brown butter rice krispie treats are things I still dream about. Ashley was really so responsive and helpful throughout the entire process. When I started having panic moments about how this would work with Covid, she would provide suggestions on how we could do things and what she was seeing at other weddings Ashley made Royal Fig one of the vendors I barely even had to think about and it all ran so smooth. At our venue, they also do the set up and tear down, and their team was amazing throughout the entire day. We got countless compliments on the food from our guests and I am so glad we chose them! You cannot go wrong with Royal Fig!
Royal Fig is amazing! We wanted to have heavy appetizers and not a sit down dinner and Harley helped us execute that vision perfectly. She was communicative from start to finish and always kind and receptive. The day of, everything was taken ca...
re of professionally and beautifully - the displays were TOP NOTCH. We had cupcakes instead of a cake and the table looked incredible and decadent. The waitstaff was friendly and professional and the bartenders kept the drinks flowing. Harley was on site and ran the operation like a pro - we never had to worry about anything! And best of all, the food was DELICIOUS. Everyone raved about it and the stations worked perfectly for the vibe we were going for. The cupcakes were incredible and I was so glad we got to take some home ;) I highly recommend Royal Fig to anyone looking for a professional AND delicious caterer!
WOW. We're a month out from our wedding and everyone is still raving about the food - and my husband has completely disregarding the year rule of eating our cake and couldn't resist sneaking a piece a week after!
Cheyenne was so helpful with ...
our ever changing guest count and really helped us narrow down the best menu/options. I would HIGHLY recommend them.
Picking a caterer was our top priority for our wedding and oh boy did Royal Fig deliver! We worked with Harley and I can't say enough good things about her. She made everything easy and was so responsive and flexible. Always positive, always he...
lpful! Even when we had to postpone due to COVID-19, Royal Fig came through for us. We ended up having to go from family style to plated in order to protect our guest's safety and they made sure all our original selections were included on the plate. Our apps were delicious and our dinner food was hot and soooo tasty! The waiters and bartenders were the most friendly bunch and everything ran like a well-oiled machine. They even helped put together my dream ice cream sundae bar. I love Royal Fig. Thank you for delivering the most unforgettable wedding and doing it SAFELY! Do not think twice - Book them!!!
Royal Fig is amazing! They catered our July 2020 wedding and the food was absolutely delicious. Their menu had a great selection to choose from with good portion sizes and was much better than your "average wedding food". They also did our wed...
ding cake - which was beautiful and tasted so good even though we never did a tasting - and pecan pies.
The service during our reception was flawless. They even put fresh plates out for my husband and I when we had to miss most of dinner to take pictures to work around the rain. Jesse was really great to work with and very responsive through the whole planning process, making Royal Fig one of the easiest vendors we worked with. I also found them to be very reasonably priced as well!
We got countless compliments on the food from our guests and I am so glad we chose them! You cannot go wrong with Royal Fig!
Royal Fig Catering is one of a kind. Phenomenal service, best signature cocktails, and mouth watering food. Every single bite of food is delicious, from the tasting to the food at the venue.(including our wedding cake and cupcakes) We were so l...
ucky we were able to work with Claudia. She was a fabulous coordinator that helped created a one of a kind experience for our guests. Everyone was raving about how good everything tasted. Royal Fig made us and our guests feel safe during the unprecedented pandemic, Claudia and her team were AMAZING. Thank you for your wonderful customer service and incredible farm to table food!
As with many Spring 2020 weddings, our wedding unfortunately had to be postponed. Royal Fig worked with us to seamlessly move our wedding to May 2021. We decided we still wanted to have a legal wedding on our original date. Still wanting to hav...
e some normalcy to our day, we asked Royal Fig if they could make us a wedding cake. They couldn't have been easier to work with and the cake was beautiful and amazing.
We can't wait to have all their yummy food at our 2021 big ceremony and are so proud of all the work their doing for our healthcare workers during these odd times.
Royal Fig Catering was definitely one of our favorite vendors to work with for our wedding last weekend! Our Coordinator, Ashley B., was amazing from start to finish. She made planning a wedding from out of state an absolute breeze, and was qui...
ck to answer all of the questions I sent her way. The food was amazing as well, my guests were raving about the Ropa Vieja Short Rib and the Elote Style Corn. The chips and queso/guacamole/salsa station during our cocktail reception was also a hit. I would recommend Ashley and her team to anyone I know planning an event in Austin!
Loved working w/ Royal fig from beginning to the end for my wedding. I thought they were lovely throughout. They helped us make our choices, and the tasting was great. At the actual wedding, they were so kind and took food to us, and everybody ...
loved the food, it was a great hit. I couldn't ask for better. People were raving about the meatballs, macaroni, and spare rib meat entree option. The barbarcoa nachos too. They had I think 5 plates or so available for gluten free or vegan guests. They're a great choice for some healthy and/or unique options, and well beyond that as well. Cheyenne was who was helping throughout, and she was tremendous. They also made tremendous drinks and were open to us changing their prickly pear margarita into a mango margarita. Huge hit. Everybody loved Royal Fig at my wedding.
We loved Royal Fig; they catered our bridal and groom's suite as we got ready and not only was the food appealing to the eye but it was soo good! They have such a great selection and Jesse their Senior Event Coordinator was so easy to work with...
and responsive. If you have an event coming up or are considering something yummy for your wedding party Royal Fig is the right move.
Royal Fig was the perfect wedding caterer! Working with Harley and her team was so easy and made the whole process very easy. Harley was very accommodating for multiple tasting, menu changes, etc. and was very knowledgeable on quantities. The f...
ood, signature drinks, desserts and servers were all fantastic. Royal Fig has a creative menu that allowed us to serve all our favorite foods at our wedding. We received so many compliments on the food stations, signature drink (prickly pear) and cupcakes. The catering staff and bartenders were very professional and attentive. They were so mindful of bringing my husband and I personal plates of the passed apps, meals, and making sure we had drinks. I couldn’t of asked for a better experience!
I cannot express how amazing Jesse at Royal Fig Catering is. My now-husband and I live in Houston, but our wedding was at the Villa del Lago in Austin. Not only was he extremely patient and helpful with me throughout the menu selection proce...
ss via many emails and calls, but he also helped coordinate my wedding rentals, such as with table settings and furniture, with other vendors. He scheduled food tastings for my husband and I, which reassured us on how delicious the dishes would be served to our wedding guests. Our guests were raving about how good their food was! The high quality and service of Royal Fig was spectacular. Their staff was very professional during the wedding, and the event couldn't have gone any smoother. I highly recommend Jesse at Royal Fig for any catered events!
Claudia from Royal Fig was an absolutely dream to work with! We had passed apps and a buffet dinner - everything my husband and I had was absolutely delicious! The only reason I give them 4/5 instead of 5/5 is because multiple guests who were...
vegetarian did make it a point to tell us the vegetarian meal was not good. But everything else was FANTASTIC!
When it came to planning our wedding, my husband and I knew that food is, by far, one of the most important parts. Everyone talks about the food and the DJ. We really cannot recommend the Royal Fig Team (especially Jesse) any more! Jesse and th...
e team went above and beyond making our wedding day so perfect. The group of servers and bartenders that served at our wedding were so fun, and several guests commented on how accommodating and engaging they were. They even gave us our own personal server for the night, which was so nice!!
My husband and I were just home for the holidays, nearly 2 months after our wedding - and people were STILL talking about the food served! Especially the Roast Sweet Potato salad and Shiner Bock Braised Short Ribs. YUM.
We really cannot thank Jesse and the RF team enough - our wedding day was absolutely perfect and the food and staff played a huge role in that.
If you are looking for top quality catering services, I highly recommend Royal Fig! Not only is their food top quality, but their service is outstanding. They are on our venue’s preferred vendor list and are widely considered as one of the best...
caterers in Austin (rightfully so!). Cheyenne, our catering manager, was superb. Cheyenne acted as the liaison between us and Premiere Events rentals, and we booked everything from napkins to the band stage through her. This process made things extremely easy for us and was one less vendor to worry about in terms of payment, email traffic, etc. We received many compliments from our guests on our passed appetizers (lobster bisque shooters, whiskey glazed meatballs, and apple and Brie crostinis), and my husband and I thought that both the short rib and the Texas ranch spiced chicken were delicious when we got to enjoy our private meal together in the bridal suite before the reception. Royal Fig makes set up easy - literally I didn’t even see them come and go. They also passed our wedding cake. Our venue has a contract with Royal Fig bartending, but we would have used their service regardless. We did signature cocktails through RF, and we received many compliments on these as well. You can definitely find less expensive caterers, but if you value quality food and service and peace of mind, spend a little extra and go with Royal Fig!
Royal Fig did a wonderful job working with us throughout the wedding planning process. It was easy to set up tastings and make changes, and our contact Jesse was responsive and helpful throughout. The food was wonderful on the day of the event,...
and we’ve received a number of unsolicited compliments on it in the time since. We went with family style serving, and there was plenty of every dish available for our guests. Royal Fig was also very professional, going above and beyond to help us on the day of with setup, teardown, and even helping us get a bow tie tied correctly.
Royal Fig was our favorite vendor to work with through the whole process of planning. I had complete trust that they would arrive on wedding day and get to work - they did just that and exceeded expectations. One server made sure that my bride ...
and I were never without beverages and food when needed. They also took great care of our guests (including the vegetarian/vegans) with ease. They had no issues accommodating our request to keep disposable plastics to a minimum. And maybe the most important part ... the quality of food is amazing. I would highly recommend Royal Fig to anyone searching for a quality vendor.
I cannot say enough about Claudia and the rest of the Royal Fig team! During our tasting and through our big day, they were AMAZING. The food was absolutely delicious (MANY guests commented on how it wasn't "typical wedding food" because it was...
so delicious), and they accommodated our specific requests and tweaks. Aside from the food, they are so much more than a catering company. From customer service, to responsiveness and quality, I cannot say enough about Royal Fig. I cannot recommend them highly enough!
I was so incredibly thrilled when we were able to have Royal Fig as our cater. Royal Fig alone is amazing with their food, service, staff and professionalism but Jesse Martin is the absolute best to work with. Jesse takes above and beyond to a ...
whole other level. I have food allergies and Jesse was so easily able to say yes they could accommodate them and RF then made the food delicious; which can be hard when modifying foods. Jesses was always so responsive, kind and receptive to our needs that we consider him family now. Royal Fig is run by amazing owners and staff that they are number one in our book. We will book them over and over again for all our major party needs.
Royal Fig was incredible! Once we scheduled a tasting with them, we knew that our catering was one area we definitely wouldn't have to worry about. Not only was the food fantastic, but all of the coordinators involved in the planning were very ...
patient as we kept changing our quote to reflect changes in guests, diet, etc. Cheyenne was our coordinator and was so helpful in meeting with us and the planner to work out how dinner would happen. All the guests loved the food and commented on the professionalism and politeness of the servers. We highly recommend Royal Fig for any wedding!
I would highly recommend Royal Fig catering for your next event. We were instantly delighted with Ashley and the team and that only escalated throughout the process. Ashley was amazing to work with. Her professionalism, yet kind and approachabl...
e nature got me to enjoy the entire process and feel comfortable. The client services were 100% on point (if not more). At the wedding, the staff continued those same efforts. Lastly, the food. I read reviews about everyone raving about their food and yup those reviews are as accurate as it can be. Every guest we spoke with talked about how this was one of the best foods they had at an event, esp wedding. We went with family-style and the presentation of the food along was just as superb! Oh, we also got our wedding cake from them too and it was perfect. I highly recommend getting a cake testing as well (their almond flavour is mouth-watering) because the baker made it taste incredibly good. I am still thinking about the juicy fried chicken and the almond cake as I write this. Best team!! Thanks Ashley and Royal Fig!!
Royal Fig creates an experience that YOU envision, while helping you plan your perfect event! Victoria is hands down unparalleled in her field, and will make your catering choice easy. You won't have to stress about a thing with her! We didn't ...
have a wedding planner and I was concerned about coordinating everything, but it seemed like I had one with Victoria- she's just the best! And not to mention, of all the weddings i've been to and everyone quietly bickers about the food being subpar. Royal fig uses fresh ingredients and takes time preparing all your dishes so that guests are raving about the food. They also display each and every item in a unique way that goes with your event. I can't say enough about Royal Fig and Victoria, and can't wait to work with them again!
I cannot even say how AMAZING Royal Fig is. We had a pretty non-traditional reception with grazing stations, small bites, action stations, and we did a pig cutting instead of a cake cutting and they totally helped us realize our vision and then...
some. They went above and beyond what I had envisioned. Everything looked amazing, tasted amazing, and the service was impeccable. People kept saying that they will be talking about that food for months, it was so good. They really made the night a smash hit and they were such a delight to work with!
You will not be sorry you went with Royal Fig. They are so experienced and professional at what they do. My contact Claudia was always responsive and helpful throughout the process. My guests commented at length how great the food was. Couldn't...
have asked for a better experience.
Royal Fig was one of the first vendors we chose for our outdoor September wedding reception, based not only on the DELICIOUS food, but on how great of an experience we had with them during our tasting. We knew we would be in good hands, and we ...
were! The whole team at RF was responsive during the wedding planning process, easy to work with, happy to get creative within our budget, and flexible when we wanted to make changes (I can't stress how important that last part was!)
We got so, so many compliments from our guests about the food at our wedding. RF took our vision and brought it to life, and each of the food stations was exquisite.
We contracted Royal Fig Catering for our daughter's wedding in September 2019 in Austin, TX. The food was delicious and we heard this from many many of our guests. Jesse was the catering manager for our event and did a fantastic job. We star...
ted the dinner with a plated salad and then Royal Fig staff served the main dishes and vegetables family style. We were seated at long, connected tables so the family style service was perfect for our dinner. The food was excellent and again, our guests raved about it. I would call on Royal Fig for future event.
Choosing Royal Fig to cater our wedding was one of the best choices we made during the planning process! We worked with Jesse, who's a rockstar, and he made every step of the planning process a breeze. Our food was amazing - even with the incle...
ment weather that Royal Fig had to work through. They also made us a custom cake after I mentioned to Jesse that I missed the passion fruit and guava flavors from time spent in Miami. They made sure we were very well taken care of the day of, and they worked great with our venue and other vendors making the whole day flow seamlessly.
I have always thought wedding food sucked, until I tried Royal Fig's catering. This place is amazing! Our tasting was so delicious, we wanted to go back for a second tasting. Jesse and his team were more than accommodating. They handled my many...
requests and changes with ease- I often emailed and every time Jesse got back to me in a timely matter and was so patient! The chefs had great suggestions for my husband and I for our cake and food. It was a one stop shop- food, deserts, cake, bartenders, serving staff. If you are looking for a caterer who makes food your guests will rave about for days, look no further than Royal Fig. I was so thankful to have my own personal server for my husband and I at the wedding, Jackie, who made sure we got to eat the delicious food we picked out for our big day. My only hope now is that they open a restaurant so we can enjoy their catering again! Thanks Royal Fig!
My husband, myself and all our guests were completely blown away by the professionalism, quality of beverages, and overall level of service from the Royal Fig staff on our wedding day. We hired Royal Fig for bar service during our cocktail hour...
and reception, and it was an amazing choice. Everything was seamless and perfect, and your staff went above and beyond to ensure (even on the HOTTEST day) that everyone was hydrated and happy. Our cocktails were yummy, and we couldn't recommend Royal Fig more! Certainly looking for an opportunity to book them again in the future.
Royal Fig is amazing!! We used them for catering and bartenders / associated barware. They also ordered all of our linens, so that was one less vendor for me to worry about!
First of all, do not be turned off by the initial price. We got prop...
osals from them and 2 other comparable caterers in Austin. Initially, it looked like Royal Fig was much more expensive. But their proposal included WAY more food. Once we cut down to the same amount as the other caterers (and all that we needed), they were less expensive than the other 2!
Their food is AMAZING. Everything is farm-to-table and so fresh! One thing I recommend is that if your venue / timeline allows for it, have a private dinner with your spouse during cocktail hour! It's such a great private moment between you and your now-husband or wife, and it ensures that you get some of the delicious food from Royal Fig!
They were probably the most prompt at responding to emails of all the wedding vendors I had. This is something you really appreciate when you're in stressed wedding planning mode! My initial contact ended up leaving the company to start her own business a few months before my wedding. I was kind of worried about the transition to someone else, but there was no reason to be worried! Kristen, the owner ended up handling everything for us and she made sure everything was perfect!!
I highly, highly recommend Royal Fig if you want some delicious food that has a Texas flair and is very high quality!
The food was amazing. We received so many compliments on how great the food was which is rare for a wedding. The staff was very pleasant to work with. Overall, a great experience. We would highly recommend.
We hired Royal Fig for our recent wedding and were absolutely thrilled. Betsy was extremely professional, helpful, and patient, and the food was outstanding! We received compliments from so many guests on how incredible the food and service wer...
e. If you're considering Royal, do not hesitate - book them now and get the braised short rib entree!
We heard Royal Fig was the best. Now we can unequivocally say that they are!!! The food was outstanding. We did family style and all of the guests loved it! Their cake was delicious and they took care of so many details at the wedding. The...
ir staff was so friendly, professional and helpful. We were so grateful for all they did! Let's not forget about the late night mac and cheese too! That was a big hit! Thank you Royal Fig for making this such a memorable event for us!
The entire Royal Fig team deserves our sincerest thank you for everything throughout the planning process and all they did to make our day spectacular! Jesse and his team were a huge help and made the day so easy, especially with all the last m...
inute changes we had due to weather and location adjustments while remaining completely calm and making us feel that way as well - truly appreciate it! Everything was even more delicious than we remembered from our tasting and the service was top-notch! Everyone left with the highest praise and fully bellies of deliciousness - emphasis on the honey sriracha fried chicken, shrimp and sausage gumbo and margarita cake! We knew we picked the best caterer and they overdelivered - thank you!
We worked with Claudia at Royal Fig, and we could not have asked for a better Catering Coordinator. Claudia was so upbeat and professional to work with. She answered all of our questions (~200 emails) without hesitation and with incredible punc...
tuality. Her expertise and confidence played a vital role to our wedding's success, and we are so thankful she was on our team. On our wedding day, we woke up to a tornado warning, torrential downpour of rain, and Claudia and the Royal Fig team was able to be extremely flexible with our change of venues and timeline. They provided impeccable service, and did it all with a smile.
Due to a family event, Claudia was unable to be there on our wedding day, and her colleague, Victoria, was there instead. Victoria handled the craziness of our day seamlessly and we are so grateful to her as well!
I would like to note that while they were a higher-priced catering team, we would choose them over again in a heartbeat. They are worth every penny, and deliver top-notch service and food. So many of our guests noted that this was some of the best catered food they had ever had! WOW!! We loved the ease of the family style menu, and the roasted chicken and grilled ribeye were perfect!
Thank you Claudia, Victoria, and the entire Royal Fig team for the amazing wedding! We love y'all!
My husband and I had one mission and that was to make sure that we served the best wedding food our guests had ever tasted at a wedding. And WOW Royal Fig did exactly that. They are exceptional! The food was amazing and their service is incredi...
ble. From our coordinator, Jesse, to the day of wait staff, everyone was so friendly and professional. I cannot recommend them enough, you and your guests will be blown away!
Royal Fig is A+. Their food is fantastic and their options are endless, no doubt there is something for every taste/style. We went with the station option and it was perfect, and if you're looking to depart from the usual barbecue dinner I cann...
ot recommend the Chuckwagon Chili station enough. We received endless compliments about this chili, which was no surprise--the minute we tried it during our tasting we knew we had to have it--best chili EVER.
RF is also incredibly helpful with full set up and take down, dealing with your alcohol delivery (if you go through Specs--and why wouldn't you?!), working with you on your menu, the works! They also had a server who focused on us and making sure we had a drink the entire night as well as setting us up a private dinner for us to have a moment. Their service was amazing from beginning to end (and bonus--the tasting was so much fun, they make sure you get the full experience-not just a little bite of everything, but the presentation as well!)
Bottom line--we could not be happier with our choice to use Royal Fig!
Royal Fig catered our wedding on March 2 and boy did they nail it! From the passed appetizers (YUM!) to the specialty cocktails to our family style dinner every single thing was delicious. We received so many compliments on our two cocktails ...
(the French 75 & the Saucy Fig Bourbon) & the food. Our guests commented on how the food was still hot when they were served which is not an easy feat when serving 166 people! The truffle mac n cheese, the roasted chicken, the ribeye, the brussel sprouts & heirloom carrots were BIG hits with all of our friends & family. Thank you to Jesse & team for providing flawless service & working so hard to make our night perfect. We cannot thank y'all enough and will be recommending you to all of our friends & family.
I was very happy with the service and food provided. We did a family style meal. We are big foodies and loved the food! Jesse Martin was great to work with! They were also responsible for setting up all of the chairs and tables at our weddi...
ng. Due to weather, we decided to have our ceremony inside The Addison Grove Barn and Royal Fig did an amazing job flipping the room for the reception. Tables and set up looked beautiful. Would recommend Royal Fig to anyone!
We used Royal Fig for catering for our 150 person wedding in Austin this past month, and could not be more impressed with the job that they did. All of the appetizers and the food that they prepared for dinner were delicious, and we've received...
numerous compliments from friends since the wedding about how impressed they were with the food. The RF team was also amazing to work with leading up to the wedding - they were super accommodating of our indecisiveness on appetizers and our multitude of food allergy-related requests, and they coordinated flawlessly with Spec's and Champagne Supply Company to make sure our bar was perfect. The service day-of was also excellent - we were served drinks and appetizers during photos and were the first to be served at dinner, which allowed us to finish eating quickly and mingle with our guests. The bartenders in particular were so, so friendly and upbeat - we loved the great attitude that they brought to the job. 10/10 would go with them again for catering. Thanks for making our special day that much better, Royal Fig!
Jesse from Royal Fig was wonderful to work with. He was very organized and willing to work with us to pick out the perfect menu, set-up, staffing, etc to work with our budget and to also deliver on our high expectations for the food at our wedd...
ing. My husband and I are big foodies and honestly, Royal Fig did NOT disappoint. Everything packed a delicious and fresh flavor -- from the goat cheese fig flatbread and surf & turf bruschetta to the shrimp & pimento cheese grits and Texas spiced quail. I'm so glad we got to taste test our entire menu prior to the wedding, unfortunately, I wasn't able to eat much on our big day (it's all so overwhelming!). Our guests raved about the food and really enjoyed the unique family-style dining, it was a big hit. Royal Fig also took care of our cake and s'mores bar, which were also tasty. Thank you, Royal Fig team! :)
We did family-style, and it was amazing. Everyone was served hot, delicious food very quickly. We were able to eat, drink, dance, and mingle without missing anything.
Best food at any wedding I’ve ever need to and people are still complementi...
ng the food. Also, Betsy, the coordinator, was incredibly helpful throughout the process- which was super easy. Effectively all we had to do was a tasting, pay, submit changes, and eat at our wedding.
