    Sarah was amazing to work with and Grate catering saved the day for our wedding. Our previous caterer dropped out last minute but it was meant to be with Sarah swooping in and saving the day! We had amazing food for our wedding and delicious dessert! I would absolutely recommend them to other couples and anyone wanting a tasty treat!

    Phenomenal food and service. I cannot rave enough about Chef Shawn and Sarah for the wonderful product provided at my husband's 40th birthday party. From the planning, setup, during the event, and cleanup - communication was excellent and everything was PERFECT. Please consider them if you need an event catered. Their menu is astounding. And support local business and families." Amanda C., Mooresville, NC

    AMAZING! Sarah and Sean were great to work with. My husband and I were planning from out of state and they were flexible when planning our tasting and offered great suggestions to make an amazing experience for our guests! Many of our guests were hospitality professionals, including high standard hotel chefs, and we received many, many compliments on the food. HIGHLY RECOMMEND Grate Catering, Co.

    Look no further for a catering company because Grate Catering will exceed your expectations. The food is absolutely amazing and the presentation is beautiful. We had a 60th birthday party and did appetizers and a main entree. I received so many positive comments about the food and a week later people are still talking about how good the food was. Shawn and Sarah worked so hard to make it a perfect party!

    If you're on the fence or considering another caterer, I'll make it easy on you by saying you do not have to look any further. I honestly could not say enough positive things about this company. We had the honor of having Grate Catering cater our wedding and it was absolutely phenomenal! I have had so many people rave on and on about the food! This team is wonderful starting with Shaun and all the way down to the kind servers who gave me such sweet advice right before heading to the ceremony. They provided a fabulous tasting beforehand, that honestly felt like date night, and we had so much food that we had leftovers to share with family. They were extremely accommodating with my last minute questions and changes, and did everything possible to make my day hassle free and just a dream. I am so pleased and so thankful! I look forward to hiring them in the future!!

    I have used GRATE numerous times and we love them!! They catered our sons wedding reception, a bridal shower and the last three of our office open house galas.
    The food is outstanding and the presentation amazes me every time. Shawn and Sarah are so great to work with! They are professional, creative and work so hard to make your event special and perfect.
    I would not use anyone else!!!!

    My biggest regret about my wedding day was not eating enough of my DELICIOUS wedding food. Sarah made everything fun and easy on me and Sean makes food that leaves me craving it for weeks after I have had it. Just the best out there!

    Best catering company in Cabarrus County by far. Shawn McFalls is the best chef in town and it reflects in every bite!

    I went to a tasting last night for my best friend wedding and OMG was totally blown away. The food is fantastic, the owners are awesome and very reasonable! 5

    Wow. I was blown away by Grate. Me and my husband really wanted tacos for our wedding, and they have the most amazing package. Sarah was prompt in responding to emails and questions, and she made sure everything was perfect. I was so glad to meet her when she served us our food. The serving table was beautiful, which is not usually the case with many catering companies. And Oh My Goodness. The food was incredible. Our guests could not stop raving about how yummy it was and how it was such a great idea to do Mexican. Grate even provided plates and other plastic ware, ice for the bar, and a bartender. It was truly a one stop shop. I cannot recommend Grate enough. I wish I lived closer because I would have them cater EVERYTHING. Thanks for making my day seamless and perfect and delicious

    The MOST amazing experience for our wedding day! Sarah is an absolute pleasure to work with and will customize to any type of taste you're feeling. My husband is allergic to shellfish and they took it very seriously which was super comforting! The food was everything we could ever ask for and our guests are STILL talking about it two weeks later! I highly recommend for any event!!

    We contacted several caterers for our wedding, and knew we wanted to work with GRATE from the beginning, even before we had a tasting. Sarah was an absolute dream to work with. She was extremely flexible and patient in helping us nail down a menu, made great suggestions, handled all of our rentals, and worked her magic with making sure we stayed in our budget. We met her and Shawn at our tasting, and were immediately blown away by their professionalism, enthusiasm, friendly demeanor, excellent customer service, and absolutely phenomenal food! Our guests are STILL talking about how delicious the food was, and how elegantly it was presented. We could not have asked for a better catering experience, and GRATE truly helped make our day special and memorable. You will be in the best of hands with GRATE!

    Sarah and the rest of the Grate crew did such an incredible job at our October wedding! The preparation meeting/tasting was so enjoyable and the food options were all TREMENDOUSLY tasty! Our guests were so impressed with the food, we cannot thank the Grate crew enough for a fantastic job well done!

    I had a Wedding in Concord in May and went with Grate Catering and THANK GOODNESS I did!!! I'm still getting compliments from wedding guests about the food and professionalism!

    I worked with Sarah throughout the planning process and she made sure to answer my 1,000,000 questions and was a pleasure to work with. An extra bonus was the fact that they have mixed matched antique dinnerware that you can rent! It was great for me as I did not have to get another vendor involved for rentals!

    I would recommend Grate Catering to ALL brides! Thank you so much for making my wedding day amazing Grate Catering Team! I truly appreciate all the hard work and dedication to quality in your food and presentation!

    They were nothing short of perfection!! Every guest at our wedding complemented the food, and I cant stop eating the leftovers! The Grate chicken and roasted vegetables are my new favorite food of all time. Thank you guys for being so helpful and making the process so simple! You work hard and it definitely shows, I’ll forever recommend you to any and all!

    There are not enough words to describe how awesome Shawn and Sarah were for my better half’s surprise 40th birthday party! Always great about responding. Food phenomenal. Service unbelievable. I can’t wait for another excuse to use them!!

    Grate Catering catered a training that we had in North Carolina. We are a St. Louis company that provides training for the low income housing industry. It completely put my mind at ease having them do our event!!

    I hope that we come back to the area so that I can have them cater for us again!! Thank you again!

    I've had wonderful opportunities to work with Grate Catering, and each time far exceded my expectations! From razor-sharp planning and implementation to delicious, innovative food, Grate provides a wonderful experience for the client and their guests. I highly recommend them!

    We held an Appreciation Breakfast for the Kannapolis Firefighters. From the very beginning Shawn from Grate Catering Co made us feel at ease and told us to tell him what we wanted and he would take care of the rest. Not only did he provide the firefighters with a delicious breakfast and a spectacular presentation but was willing to accommodate us with the wee early morning hours that we needed. This caterer and his staff are outstanding in every aspect. I would never use anyone else!

  • *****

    Highly recommended! Incredible to work with, more than enough food for our budget and the best noodle salad cups! Catered our company holiday party with RAVE reviews from all.

    Great food and cool presentation with excellent service. Shawn and staff did a great job on catering our event back in January. Highly recommended!

    Fantastic job catering events at our venues The Farm at Brusharbor & The Farmstead. Fresh, delicious food with great flavor and gorgeous presentation! Looking forward to working with them again soon.

    I cannot say enough good things about Grate Catering. From the first contact to the last, it was easy and a pleasure. The food - OMG the food was AMAZING! Best pot roast I have ever put in my mouth! I was super impressed with the interaction Sarah and Shawn had with the guests. I paid for buffet style so I did not expect no rounding of tables - that was such a nice gesture and made the guests feel important.
    I HIGHLY recommend Grate for your catering needs. Thanks Sarah and Shawn for helping me pull off a FABULOUS 80th surprise birthday party for my dad!

  • *****

    Grate was absolutely wonderful! They catered for our wedding and I have heard guest after guest talk about how good the food was. I asked for a hard dish from home, Feijoada, and Shawn nailed it! It smelled deliciously, and it tasted like home! Not to mention how kind Sarah and Shawn were, how quickly they responded our questions and how flexible they were. I would absolutely recommend!
    THANK YOU for a wonderful evening!! <3 Team Knox

    I had the pleasure of eating 3 lunches and a dinner catered by Grate at a weeklong workshop. The lasagna rolls, balsamic chicken, brisket, chicken fajita, and accompanying sides and desserts were top notch!

    Grate Catering provided the food for my daughter's wedding and they did a fantastic job. The communication was excellent. I highly recommend the meatballs and the pork sliders and the fruit was perfectly sweet. I can't say enough about the wait staff. They were courteous and professional. Should I need a catering service again Grate will be the first one I call.

    Grate Catering Company just catered our company's holiday party for 65. The food was spectacular, the service extremely professional, and the food display was perfect. They were extremely easy to work with and far exceeded our expectations.
