Yes - a pure and unadulterated 5 star. Â Chef Danyell's food is just so damn good. Â Besides catering, you can go to his kitchen and get all sorts of amazing frozen items to take home and cook when you want. Â I'm a vegetarian and his selection is large, mouth watering, and fabulous. Â I truly have never had a better Eggplant Parmesan. Â Great chef with a personality that is equally wonderful! Â Trying the Vegetarian Shepard's Pie this evening. More...

Georgia Ray's catered our wedding and it was one of the best meals I've ever had! Literally the greatest steak I have ever tasted!
People say you don't eat at your wedding, we ATE at our wedding, and then some because you couldn't not eat Chef Danyell's amazing food! Chef Danyell is a genius in his field, he came up with the most unique dishes with extreme enthusiasm. He navigated through all the dietary restrictions with ease and solved problems before they got to us and accommodated to all our needs. He knows this business so well, can see the vision of what needs to be done and conquers it. His staff was so friendly and fun, they were so easy to work with. Our guests are still talking about how fantastic the food was at our wedding, raving that they have never had such great food at a wedding before.
As a bonus, every time we visited they would always feed us something delicious and sent us home with lunch for the next day! You would be cheating yourself if you didn't try his food. Ask to try to the swizzle sticks!
Thank you so much, Georgia Rays, for the best meal we could have ever asked for! I'm still craving those fig & roquefort purses, truffle mac & cheese and that steak!!

Always the finest and freshest food prepared under close supervision and by Chef Danyell Ray himself . His pastery work is out of this world also.

We chose Georgia Rays Kitchen to cater our wedding as well as two breakfasts, a rehearsal dinner, and snacks for our wedding weekend. We had decided that good food was our top priority for our weekend and we couldn't possibly be happier with our choice. The food was out of this world! Chef Danyell made us everything from carribbean jerk chicken to beef and broccoli stir fry, buttermilk chicken and waffles to white bean dip with truffle oil and the best salsa i've ever tasted! Chef was professional, fun, and easy to work with. He went above and beyond to personalize our experience and make sure we were thrilled with the food. His staff is fantastic as well. Nancy was kind and patient as we went over details via email or phone. The servers and bartenders were professional and friendly. Our guests raved about the food, stating it was the best they've had! Chef made our wedding cake and we got calls from guests the next day asking if we had any leftover they could have! When we got home from our wedding weekend, we decided that we shouldn't even go out to eat because nothing would compare to Chef Danyell's food! Thank you so so much for making our weekend perfect and SCRUMPTIOUS! More...

Our experience with Georgia Ray's Kitchen was excellent! At our wedding, we had the appetizers of Cheeseboard with some crackers, Grape Leaves, Avocado Hummus, Caramelized Onion Balsamic Pastries, Shrimp Dumplings, and Tandoori Chicken Skewers for the cocktail hour.
For the reception dinner, we had Applewood Smoked BBQ Chicken, Provençale Baked Catfish w/lemon butter & parsley breadcrumbs, Israeli Cous-Cous w/grilled carrots, onions & portobello mushrooms
Grilled Corn & Peppers Salad and the dessert was Vanilla Layer Wedding Cake w/French Meringue Buttercream icing - lemon curd & vanilla mousse filling. Every bite we had at our wedding was unbelievably tasty! The only regret was not eating more of that delicious food that day! The staff were extremely nice and checked on us multiple times if we need anything. Chef Danyell even came to the stage and had a little fun with us! We highly recommend Georgia Ray's Kitchen because the food was excellent, the price was affordable and the service was great!

We booked Georgia Ray's for our outdoor wedding event. We were sold on the complimentary tasting by Chef Danyell. We remember LOVING the whipped potatoes and brisket he had prepared for us. Kathleen seemed extremely organized and assured us that they were the right fit for our wedding caterer. Kathleen and Chef were extremely professional and organized at all times, however, I do wish the responsiveness to emails was faster. It would usually take between 4-6 business days for a response to emails.One week leading up to the wedding, Chef Danyell graciously met with us at our venue and we really appreciated his effort to help us plan and feel comfortable on the day of. The night before the wedding, Chef met with us again at our venue to ensure that everything went smoothly with the rental company. Chef graciously got to work with one of his employees and helped us rearrange the tent after some miscommunication with the rental company's placement of the tables had occurred.On the day of, we received many compliments from our friends and family on the quality of food. One of my favorite parts of the night was when Chef came out of the cook's tent to personally serve me my meal on the buffet line. Some room for improvement on the day of would be with the wait staff. We noticed that only one of the two kinds of kegs we had were served. The bartenders might have been misinformed and did not realize that there were two options for beer. Similarly, one of the waitresses at the hors d'oeuvres table told a guest that the pulled pork pockets were a mushroom dish. Of course, these are minor issues and overall I would strongly recommend Chef Danyell for your event. The food was absolutely divine and the service is worth the price! More...

Georgia Ray's catered a bachelorette party that I threw and did an amazing job! They provided appetizers, dinner and dessert for 15 people and easily accommodated a gluten free diet as well as nut allergies. Chef Danyell and his staff were very easy to work with and I would highly recommend them for any function. More...
