Urban Cowboy Catering

We used Urban Cowboy services for both our rehearsal dinner and our wedding day option and they do not disappoint. We ended up getting a hot dog bar for a late night snack which was epic- being from Chicago, it was a nice ode to our roots. Chris was easy to work with and was helpful when we needed assistance with changing our menu up due to a decrease in wedding numbers. We went with the corn cups/elote and fried crab sticks as our apps and we got so many words of praise over them!

Highly recommend!!! I will be dreaming about the crab cakes for the rest of my life. The food was amazing, communication out of this world, and packages were unbeatable. I had so many guests come up and say “I usually hate wedding food, but dang this is GOOD”. I could not agree more! On top of that, the owner Chris, went above and beyond throughout the planning process to help ensure my day ran smoothly. His team was stellar and I was beyond impressed from start to finish.

Chris was super responsive and went above and beyond any of our expectations. Everything he makes is delicious and his food was a hit with even some of our toughest guests. From bar service to meal to late night snacks and everything in-between, Chris and his team delivered. We could not be any happier with our choice in caterers.

Chris and his staff were awesome!!! The food was delicious, their staff was timely and super nice, made our wedding day was less stressful having their food truck there. They were also super communicative leading up to the wedding, which was great. Definitely recommend!

I cannot express enough how amazing Chris Trapani and his team were catering my wedding a few weeks ago. First and foremost, his food is OUT OF THIS WORLD! Having to plan during a global pandemic was not easy, and I know he was thrown a lot of curve balls, but we immediately trusted his creative direction and put faith into him creating a wonderful meal. Which he knocked out of the park. He was so easy to work with and he had a lot of patience dealing with an emotional bride and I cannot thank him enough. Our guests have repeatedly told us how wonderful the food was, but how there was not waiting. Chris and his team were quick to refill and never left anyone disappointed. I highly recommend Urban Cowboy Catering and Chris for any of your catering needs. -Tara Hall

Chris and his team were absolutely incredible! We could not have asked for better food for our wedding dinner and cocktail hour and he was fantastic with communication up to the big day as well. He was super accommodating of several allergies and dietary restrictions that were present among our guests and took the time to come up with delicious alternatives for them! From the start he was very helpful in creating our menu through tastings and via email, we even tracked down his food truck a few times in order to get the best idea of what we wanted! EVERYTHING we tasted from his menu was very good, full of flavor, and prepared perfectly, we had the hardest time deciding what to settle on! He was amazing enough to allow us a second tasting so that we could pick the right options. We settled on a family style dinner and although it was a little less involved, his team stayed on point, all of our food was delivered hot and empty dishes were immediately cleared, allowing our guests a little extra elbow room at their tables. We could not have asked for a better caterer and would definitely use Chris and his team again for future events!

I don't know if it's possible to put into words how much I adore Chris and his team. From the second we spoke on the phone to the last bite of food on my plate, working with Chris was an absolute joy. He is the most helpful and knowledgable vendor I've ever had the pleasure to work with. He was an excellent communicator and sorted through my chaotic last few weeks with ease. The appetizers, charcuterie spread and taco bar were absolute hits. Everyone I spoke to was just raving about the food and presentation. I would work with Chris and his team again in a heartbeat. Thank you for everything

Chris and his team were PHENOMENAL! From the very first time we had a phone call, Chris picked up EVERYTHING I was putting down. We didn't want "Basic B" and had a vision of international flavors with a tropical theme throughout. Whoa. Just whoa. Together we came up with a killer menu that I will forever try to recreate. So flavorful, so unique, so sexy. The pineapple habanero agua fresca was a huge hit with tequila. I wouldn't hesitate to hire Urban Cowboy Southern Fusion for your wedding or any special catering needs.

Chris was recommended to us by a friend whom used him for their wedding. They had nothing but wonderful things to say, and after working with Chris, I must agree. We hired Chris and his food truck for our rehearsal dinner at Deep Eddy Vodka Distillery. He was so prompt with his responses and very clear on what he could offer, as well as giving us all necessary details. We chose to serve tacos only, and everyone who partook, talked about how delicious the food was, and how neat it was to have that kind of experience at our rehearsal dinner. Thank you Chris for making the process so easy, and for getting back to me on each and every question I had. Your food was beyond delicious, and I know that if we had not already booked our wedding caterer, you would have been the perfect choice.

The entire planning process was so easy with Urban Cowboy. Chris is very patient with questions and getting it all set in stone! We originally planned for the food truck, but it ended up being a bit colder than expected, so we had some last minute changes which were pulled off excellently. I know many factors go into getting it all pulled off on wedding day, so the experience we had with our food as bride and groom was vastly different than the experience our guests received. They absolutely raved the entire evening, and even beyond, about the food! Our leftovers were perfect, as well. Overall, I would highly recommend.

When we were searching for a food vendor, we wanted something familiar, but with a bit of a flair and definitely full of flavor. Urban Cowboy's food was not only that, but also worked with our budget. From the beginning, Chris was so easy to work with and was on top of all the details. During the tasting, we got to try so many great options, and talked through different combinations of flavors and items to come up with the best menu possible. The catering team also makes sure to pack up to-go food for the bride and groom when the night is over! Would definitely recommend Urban Cowboy for anyone who wants delicious food, amazing service, and is a worry-free catering experience.

Our wedding was 11.18.17 in Seguin, TX. Chris and the team came out and blew everyone away with a Queso Bar, Frito Pie Tacos, Chicken Tinga Tacos and the Spicy Shrimp Tacos. Literally I still have people raving about the food. I was so nervous that the truck would be loud during the ceremony or guests would have to wait in a long line but everything was perfect and the novelty of the truck was a great distraction from the short wait . Chris also coordinated our bartender and we had a complicated bar set up (read: lots of different types of beer) but everything was smooth and Chris made sure the whole day was low-stress for me. From working with us on some menu specifics to our tasting (never been so full in my life) everything was so easy and straightforward. Thanks for Urban Cowboy for a wonderful wedding - we look back with fond memories. PS - sorry it took me 15 months to leave this review. It was THAT good that I still remember every detail.

I don’t even know how to begin- everything Chris and his team provided at our wedding was flawless! Even from the beginning with our back and forth emails Chris was so responsive and professional, and his suggestions were very helpful. My husband and I are so glad we chose Urban Cowboy to cater our wedding, the food was delicious, they were so friendly and just great to work with. You can tell how much they really care! They also provided us with their own great bartenders who did an amazing job serving out the drinks in a speedy and friendly manner. They cut the cake for us really nicely and helped bus the tables. My husband and I Highly recommend Urban Cowboy to cater your wedding or next event! All my guests raved about them, too! :)

We hired Urban Cowboy to cater my daughter's wedding last month (September). I worked with Chris putting it all together and he was very communicative from start to the end. He also gave me a lot of helpful advice and suggestions for other vendors. We had a buffet dinner and appetizers, along with a tomato salad that was to die for! It was the only thing I had time to eat and I'm glad I did. Our guests raved about all of the food and the friendly bartenders he provided too. Their price was very reasonable as well compared to some of the other quotes I received when I started looking at caterers. We are using Chris and his team for our family christmas party this year coming up as well. So glad we found them!

They catered our wedding at a private ranch in Bastrop last month and did an amazing job! Chris helped with my mom every step of the way as she lives there and I am in California. We had some appetizers for cocktail hour that included a mini tomato salad and fried pimento cheese, both were fantastic and my guests loved them For dinner we had tacos from the food truck. We had chicken, mahi mahi and fried avocado. Everyone was raving to us after dinner! We were so happy to see our guests happy. They also helped with the bar, made us signature drinks like a prickly pear mojito and a rum runner. Great folks and beat the prices of some other caterers that were just insane compared to them! Glad we chose urban cowboy

Chris was awesome to work with from day one! I had so many questions, and not only did he responded quickly and thoroughly every time, he also added additional guidance and advice of what he's seen in the past, since he's been doing this for so long. All his tips were priceless. Above that, he invited me and my fiancé to his food truck and made a sample of everything he was thinking of serving at our wedding. It was an unexpected treat and made us so much more excited that he was catering our wedding because we could confidently say the food was delicious. He catered our wedding and provided the bartenders and wait staff. I only heard great reviews from my guests that his bartenders and other staff were also awesome - great bartending skills and with smiling faces. One thing to especially note is that we also had another food truck at our wedding and Chris' Urban Cowboy food truck was way more popular. :)

We hired Urban Cowboy for our March wedding and are so glad we did! We did a tasting in the fall, and booked them right afterwards. Chris has many, many menu options, and we decided to have a taco buffet (fried avocado, chicken tinga, and carnitas) along with sides, hors d'oeuvres, and a tapas table. The staff helped prepare plates as guests went through the line. We also hired bartenders through Urban Cowboy. The food was delicious and perfect for our hill country backyard event. It also LOOKED beautiful! Working with Chris was great. He was very communicative, helpful, and patient the whole time. We talked mostly through email. I didn't get the chance to interact with any of the other staff, but I heard good things about the bartenders. We had a lot of out-of-state and foreign guests and they were wowed by the unique, tasty Texan tacos!

Urban Cowboy was our caterer for my daughter's wedding at pecan springs ranch. As father of the bride, I was looking for someone that was honest, easy to work with, friendly and not a robot. Chris was just that. I enjoyed talking to him, he was there to answer and return all my calls and emails. I can't say the same for some of the other vendors we used that took their time to answer me. I was initially concerned because we are out of state and couldn't attend a tasting, but after reading the reviews online and looking at all the photos we saw of Chris' work, and talking to him, we were sold. We had a great meal of beef tenderloin, fried chicken, freshly grilled asparagus and cheese grits. I don't normally care for grits, but my kids wanted it and it was indeed very good. We also had a cocktail hour, I can't recall the appetizers because I was so occupied but our guests raved about all the food. Chris helped us with the bar and clean up as well, we didn't have to do anything at the end of the night which was nice as it was a very long day. Urban Cowboy is a great choice for a caterer and I'd recommend them to anyone.

For my 2/17/18 Wedding, we hired Urban Cowboy Southern Fusion as our caterer and bar service. Chris was easy to work with, honest and friendly. I was very pleased that he also communicated often and quickly. We had a buffet dinner with blackened chicken alfredo and brisket, both were excellent and well presented. We had a queso station put out for our cocktail hour and they also helped with the bar. All the staff were very friendly and we received a lot of compliments on the food and bar service.

We hired Urban Cowboy to cater our wedding at my family ranch in Austin. I was worried that they would have issues doing a family style (which I wanted REALLY bad) dinner with no kitchen on site for them to use. They set up their own kitchen under a tent and even set up an outdoor sink area! I was amazed, my family was amazed. We were going to opt for a cheaper caterer that I found but were also skeptical about them as I couldn't find too many reviews on them and they were a lot cheaper...that was telling me maybe something was wrong! So, we had a really amazing dinner of beef tenderloin with the BEST horseradish cream sauce I've ever had - it was blended with rosemary and garlic. It was delicious and perfectly cooked. We also had the herb pesto chicken which was juicy and very tasty with these little marinated tomatoes on the side, fresh roasted root vegetables and lemon potatoes. We also had an avocado plated salad that was to die for. My family couldn't stop raving about the salad. I had to email them about the salad dressing because we never had anything like it before. Urban cowboy even came early, did the set up of our tables and chairs and put them up at the end of the night. We had a bartender that was super fun and make great drinks, brought coolers, ice and mixers as well so we didn't have to worry about that as we had enough going on. We had a wonderful day and I am glad to have had Urban Cowboy as a part of it. Many thanks to them!! :)

Highly recommend!! As Mother of the bride, I helped with catering for my daughter's big day on Nov. 4th. We had a small boho rustic wedding of about 120 and decided to go with the food truck. So happy we did!! Chris , the owner, attended to all our needs way before the actual day and continued to support and offer suggestions along the way! I don't know what We would have done without him. The food did not disappoint!! Everyone kept asking me where I found him!! His staff that helped with the truck and happy hour were also very attentive to our guest. The bartenders did an amazing job, and also made sure the bridal party was happy!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank You!!!!!!

We hired Chris and his team to cater our wedding on 10/14. From last year until the week before, they were there to answer every email and phone call (even the night before my wedding when I freaked out) - they always responded within 48 hours at the most which was so nice! We had the most delicious crispy sriracha fried chicken for dinner and BBQ brisket served family style, with grilled asparagus and lemon scented potatoes. Everyone raved about the food and some guests couldn't believe that it was cooked on site! they were so impressed. They passed hors douevres for cocktail hour, panzanella with cornbread and bacon wrapped chicken bites and plated us our own plate after we did out pictures. His team also helped us when we failed to realize the ceremony chairs had to be moved for the reception. Oops! But, they jumped in and helped without question. We later compensated them for the extra work. They also took care of the bar for us and all the rentals of china and linen. Excellent service, friendly staff and for a better price than a few other caterers I contacted. We saved a lot of money using them and am so glad we did! Thanks Urban Cowboy :)

We hired Urban Cowboy to provide catered food and a bar for our wedding in May. While our day was nearly perfect, our experience with Urban Cowboy left much to be desired. Unfortunately, I believe that since a brick and mortar store was in the process of opening right before our wedding, it distracted Chris and his team, resulting in our wedding not getting the attention we had hoped and quite a few issues. First, the good: the food itself was quite tasty! The mac and cheese was heavenly. Additionally, they were always willing to accommodate our requests, and did, for the most part. Now for the bad: TL;DR It was a huge disappointment and we certainly don't feel as though we got our money's worth. I would recommend finding another caterer--many of our issues seemed to stem from a lack of attention or dedication to the catering aspect of their business. Communication: They would only respond to our e-mails on Sundays, and even then, only in part. It often required sending multiple e-mails in order to get our questions answered--and even then, it was clear that communication failed on their end as evidenced by my next point. Bartender issues: In our emails, we discussed how well equipped the bartender would be to serve our event. We were specifically told that the “bartender will bring all supplies for opening wine/beer and a cutting board. They can bring a cocktail shaker as well”. The bartender did not bring any tools whatsoever. Luckily, we had brought wine keys and scoops for ice, but no knife or cutting board. After the truck supplied the bartender with the knife and cutting board (for citrus), these items were not used. It took my father getting behind the bar and cutting limes for people to get their drinks prepared. Furthermore, the bartender was not well trained and struggled to poor even the simplest of drinks (way overpouring, then over correcting and way underpouring). At one point she told my uncle that she couldn't make him a bacardi and coke because she didn't have any rum...there were 5 handles right next to her... Food issues: 1. One of the entrees was supposed to be cherry-ancho glazed short ribs. This is something we were very excited about. The ribs we received were not short ribs. We understand that small substitutions may occasionally be necessary, but the main cut of meat was substituted, which had impacts on both the flavor and price. 2. The other entrée was supposed to be the sriracha chicken, with the sauce on the side. We did not receive the sriracha sauce, but a different sauce altogether. Once again, this substitution completely changed the meal. Service issues: Prior to the wedding, we communicated the timeline to ensure that we were on the same page. Although the wedding ceremony ran about 15 minutes late, the dinner service was much more delayed. Dinner was not ready until after 6:00. Throughout dinner, our mothers had to find the staff to refill the trays of food. We had guests standing in line with 2 of our 5 dishes completely empty with no one on site to refill them. We paid extra for your cake cutting service. The staff was not prepared to provide this service, and once again had to be found in order to fulfill it. In addition, many guests had to cut pieces for themselves, because the three tiered cake was cut from the top-down, with no separation of layers. The last layer was never cut at all, leaving guests to completely help themselves.

From the tasting to the wedding night everything was delicious, plentiful, a great deal and an over all wonderful things experience!! Hire Chris and you will not be disappointed! . . The siracha chicken bites are amazing 😍

Chris does not disappoint, from the moment we began talking via email I knew he was the right choice. He was so easy to work with, extremely responsive to emails, and really worked to fit things into my small budget. MOST IMPORTANTLY the food was the best I have ever had at a wedding!!! This is not just my husband and I's opinion, but the opinion of all the guests that I have spoken to. I really wanted southern food, but I also did not want mom's meatloaf and mashed potatoes. We are young and wanted a trendy touch to our food. Urban Cowboy is perfect for that!!! All of his food has a gourmet twist to a southern staple and all of it was amazing. It was almost impossible to decide what to pick for the wedding. But know that whatever you do will be served hot, fresh, and perfect. Choose Chris with Urban Cowboy and have one less huge thing to worry about!!

The Urban Cowboy Food Truck was amazing. We had them serve our rehearsal dinner and everything was spot. They served appetizers and four tacos which were a hit. The braised short rib were the most popular but the all the food was gone at the end of the evening. Chris was professional and on time and I we can’t fully express how awesome the experience was.

Chris was amazing! The food came out so good for our wedding this past week, on June 24th, 2016. We had a wonderful menu of veggie ceviche & chicken/brie/endive cups, fantastic kale salad, sriracha & honey fried chicken paired with cilantro rice, and beef brisket with beer mac'n cheese, and a few stuffed avocados for my vegan/veggie family members. Chris was great to work with, and easily made the accommodations I requested for my veggie family members. We live in California, and we chose Urban Cowboy without trying it, because the reviews were so good. We were able to visit in March and try the food and we were blown away! I'm so glad we made the decision to go with Chris. We had no issues, and all our guests raved about the food!

The Urban Cowboy food truck was amazing. Chris was so nice and made sure we had everything we needed. His tacos are so delicious and unique. They were such a hit at my Daughters wedding. Thanks again for such an outstanding job!!!! Follow him on Facebook to see his awesome work. His appetizers look wonderful.

Chris and his team recently catered our wedding in Georgetown, Texas. Throughout the planning process, Chris was great to work with. The food was lightyears above other caterers in our price range. We served a variety of appetizers (the ancho-rubbed short rib, Mexican fruit cups and praline bacon are to die for!) and fajitas. The service was friendly and great. So, why not 5 stars? I've gone back and forth since the wedding about whether or not to include this in my review, but...some aspects of the catering were not exactly what was in the contract/discussed. Some of the food wasn't the same quality as we tasted/agreed to (store-bought instead of homemade chips); the waiters didn't wear what I'd asked them to; the food dishes weren't the quality promised; the servers didn't help cut or serve the cake as we'd agreed; etc. These are all little things, but, added up, they take away that last star. Overall, I'd still work with Chris again on another event. I'd just be sure to double and triple check all of the details beforehand!
