Steamers

Book Steamers for your wedding day and you won't be sorry! We had the absolute best experience with Chris and his team from start to finish. They gave an amazing complimentary tasting (complete with Sangria - they sent us home with the leftovers!) and were flexible, kind, and responsive to work with us leading up to our special day. Their customer service is second to none and they are extremely reliable and professional. They send a full team on your wedding day to ensure everything runs more than smoothly. Our guests were raving about the food quality and service. We loved that it was authentic OBX cuisine made from fresh, local ingredients so our guests (all of which who traveled far) could have the true OBX experience! We would book Steamers a million times over. Also sorry this review if so incredibly late :) Thank you from the bottom of our hearts from making our day so perfect! - Marissa & Jeff (10.28.22)

The food was out of this world!!! Got compliments all night about how delicious everything was for our wedding! They really went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing food selection!! Highly suggest if you need any food catering in the outer banks!!

Chris and the entire Steamers team are incredible! Our whole experience from the tasting, to the menu planning, to the actual food, to the service were 10 out of 10. Chris was professional, friendly, and so helpful. He catered our pool party (in lieu of a rehearsal dinner) where we had Steamers pots full of crab legs, shrimp, corn, and the works plus a gourmet BBQ. The presentation and service were excellent and everyone raved about the food. The morning of our pool party, there was a massive water main break outside of his restaurant, but he stayed cool, calm, and collected when he called and assured me that he had Plans B and C ready to go in case Plan A became an issue. Luckily, there was no need and everything went as planned, but I was grateful for his communication and professionalism. On our wedding day, Chris' team was excellent. The food was SO GOOD. I highly recommend his seafood bisque, skirt steak, and BBQ sliders. He also was happy to fulfill this New York girl's request for late night bacon, egg, and cheeses and they were a huge hit with our guests. I highly recommend you look no further than Steamers!!!

Steamers was amazing! Chris and his whole team were so accommodating and helpful in the whole process leading up to the wedding and on the day of. Chris has so much passion for what he is doing and his food tastes astonishingly delicious. He genuinely cares about his clients and he helped us figure out the perfect menu and drinks for the bar package. His staff went out of their way on the day of to make sure that we were fed and taken care of, including bringing us appetizers during one of our short breaks since we missed cocktail hour for pictures. Absolutely was the perfect caterer for our wedding and we would 100% hire them again.

I have never met someone who is simultaneously so talented and so passionate about their job as Chris Braswell. We had set up a tasting but I got my times confused; despite it being a rushed expo weekend, Chris squeezed us in and spent almost an hour with us. He let us bring a party of five to the tasting and we were absolutely stuffed after. Everything was so good we could barely choose what to have on our wedding menu. Chris talked about length about the time and effort he puts into having quality, local, and seasonal ingredients. He pays and treats his staff well; both at the wedding and in the restaurant, you feel like you are getting a Michelin star experience. The contract was handled so well - he is so fair about pricing and upgrades. We added on the raw oyster bar and it was heavenly to have on the deck of Jennette's Pier. At the wedding, he flawlessly accommodated vegetarian and gluten-free diets as well as allergies; he made sure that the bride and groom had a perfectly served plate of all the food so we didn't miss anything. I cannot recommend him enough. Seriously, our wedding guests still talk about the food a year later!

Chris and the Steamers team were absolutely fabulous to work with! We heard from SO many of our guests that they have never had better food at a wedding--and we couldn't agree more! My husband and I didn't even make it around to every table during dinner because we were so distracted by how good the food was! The Steamers team was professional and everyone's orders came out accurately. Steamers also provided our bartenders, and they were so talented! They could make any drink imaginable and engaged with our guests in a fun and professional way--everyone loved them! Finally, Chris and the Steamers team were so flexible and accommodating as we planned our wedding. I had plenty of questions, and each one was answered so quickly and thoroughly. I cannot thank Steamers enough and I would recommend them to ANYONE! Delicious and perfect!

I am the father-of-the-bride, and I can tell you that worry over the meal can consume you. We had a destination wedding with 86 guests staying on the 4x4 for a week. Our rehearsal dinner and the rest of the guests dinner were in two different 4x4 homes. Chris and his staff prepared an amazing meal, served to perfection, and were incredibly friendly and interacted with our guests to make those meals memorable. HIGHLY recommended!

Absolutely amazing! Chris and his team are so friendly and easy to work with and the food is phenomenal . They took care of every culinary aspect of our day- arrived at the house hours before, cooked and served on site, cut and packaged our cake, and cleaned up afterward leaving fresh coffee. They are a top notch team and go above and beyond to make sure everything is perfect- their food, presentation, and service. I cannot say enough wonderful things about them. Highly, highly recommend!

Exceptional experience! The food was excellent and the service was top notch. I used steamers to cater my intimate beach house wedding and was thrilled I did. Highly recommend!

Great food & great service!

My husband and I got married two weekends ago at Jennette's Pier and used Steamer's as our caterer for the wedding. They were absolutely AMAZING! Kyle and I had always wanted a morning wedding with a brunch menu, and right away, Steamer's offered to create this for us, despite the fact that they are typically open for lunch/dinner. They took all of our ideas and created a perfect menu that fit our vision for the special day! Throughout the entire planning process, they continued to help us make adjustments and changes, as needed, and were always super responsive to emails/questions. Their catering manager, Courtney, was FANTASTIC to work with and helped to make Steamer's one of our favorite vendors for our wedding! When the wedding day finally arrived, the food looked and tasted better than I could have imagined! Our guests swear that it was the best breakfast food that they have ever tasted. I will definitely be visiting this Steamer's during every OBX beach trip and would highly recommend them for your next event! :)

I would 100% recommend Steamers to anyone having an event! The food was absolutely delicious and they were really easy to work with! Definitely Order the seafood bisque, everyone is still raving about it! They were great!

Choosing Steamers for our wedding was the best decision we made during planning. Chris was SO great to work with. You can tell he really cares about the food he serves and takes pride in his work. He really worked with us to get the menu we were looking for. We have been married since the summer but people are still talking about how great our food was. The quality of food and quality of service is second to none. To our guests, the food will be the most memorable part of our reception! Could not be happier with Steamers.

Steamers catered our wedding and it was AMAZING!!! The food was delicious and we couldn't have asked for a better wedding dinner. The crab cakes were absolutely divine as well as the ribs and the bruschetta...these were our favorites! Steamers worked with us on budget and we ended up with a lot of extra food!
