“ I chose Cater by Shawnee based on all the other wonderful reviews and I'm so glad that I did. Shawnee and her team responded to my inquiry immediately. They were able to communicate and available to answer any questions by phone and email. Everyone was positive and any questions that I had, were addressed right away. Also, Shawnee seemed flexible enough to tweak the menu, had I chosen to ask her to (Which I did not, as all her suggested menu items sounded great!) I had a small office party that clients and friends were invited to. Everyone raved about the food and I received nothing but compliments for putting it together. I would definitely hire Shawnee for another event. The food was excellent! Her team is pleasant and accommodating. I highly recommend Catering by Shawnee! Thank YOU, SHAWNEE!! "

“In July 2025, I hosted a dinner party that turned into an unforgettable evening—thanks to Shawnee’s Soul Food Catering. From start to finish, every dish was infused with love, flavor, and that signature Southern comfort that warms the heart. The spread was not only beautifully presented, but each bite was a reminder of home-cooked excellence. The fried chicken was perfectly seasoned and crispy, the mac and cheese was creamy and decadent, and the collard greens had just the right balance of savory and spice. Don’t even get me started on the peach cobbler—it disappeared within minutes! Guests are still raving about how satisfied and full they felt. Shawnee and her team were professional, punctual, and made the entire catering experience seamless. Her passion for soul food and feeding people well truly shined through every dish. If you’re looking for authentic soul food that delivers on taste, warmth, and presentation—look no further. Shawnee’s Soul Food is a gem, and I can’t wait to have them cater my next event! “

This was the second time I used Shawnee as my caterer and once again they did not disappoint!! The food was amazing as always as well as the presentation, BUT where they REALLY IMPRESSED ME was....THEY ARRIVED early and helped us set up the banquet room!! The food and service is impeccable, BUT their genuine caring about making your event be the best it can be is incredible!! 5 STARS TO THE WHOLE STAFF!!!
