Lula's Catering

Lori has catered two birthday parties for us, and guests raved about the food each time. She asks a lot about our food preferences, dietary restrictions, and the vibe of the event before she puts together her menu.

On the day of the party, she arrives with everything ready to set up, chats while she's prepping, and leaves everything ready for the first guest to dig in. No stress, no mess, and all the compliments!

We can't recommend Lori and Lula's Catering highly enough!

We were in from OOT visiting Cincinnati for a somber occasion. We rented an airbnb in Over-The-Rhine that would sleep our extended family and gained permission from the host to gather a small group post event.

We contacted Lula's two months in advance for our SAT afternoon get together. Lori went above and beyond to work with the various food allergies (NO GARLIC!) and create (and modify several times as people canceled or RSVPd yes at the last moment) a marvelous repast that brought smiles back to the day.

Food: Inventive flavors and textures that mingled for a delightful array to please all taste buds ages 6-72!

Presentation A+. Adapted the display and serving utensils to the limited kitchen island with creativity and aplomb.

Customer Service: A++. Lori was also grieving a loss and never skipped a beat to make sure we were taken care of with a smile.

Timeliness of delivery/set up: Perfectly timed. Efficient and detailed.

Favorite Item on your Menu: Childrens: Mac & Cheese
Adults: Lobster Bisque

Highly Recommend Lula's!
Wish we lived closer.

Lula's catered my Wedding Reception and everything was amazing. The food not only tasted amazing but the presentation was flawless. Guest are still raving about the menu! If you want a professional, reliable and talented caterer, then look no further!!!! Lori & Lula's are amazing.

Lula's Catering went out of the way to make sure of our likes and dislikes before preparing our menu taking into consideration our two different palates. Her Jumbalaya was so tasty but my favorite was a Creole Chicken Broccoli Pasta (are you sensing a theme here?)! She also has the best Tomato Basil Soup, I can't order it anywhere else without being disappointed - nothing compares to it.
Lori comes highly recommended from this picky eater!

Five stars are not enough! I used Lula's Catering for my 70th birthday party, held under a tent in an outdoor venue. Very challenging weather conditions for Lori and her staff, but they handled it all with grace. I received so many compliments on the food! Lori provided options for every possible dietary restriction and labeled each dish in detail. Lori says that Love is Always their first ingredient, and I can vouch for that. Lori works with you to customize the menu, so you will have exactly the food that you and your guests will love!

Lori catered my baby shower and I can't tell you how pleased we were with her food and service. She was such a pleasure to work with and so responsive. She worked with me on creating the perfect menu with all my favorite foods, delivered on time and set it up to make it look beautiful. Not to mention, all my guests were obsessed with the food! They couldn't stop raving about it. I would highly recommend using Lori for any of your events.

Chef Lori is an amazing chef! Her original flare and attention to detail is unsurpassed. She accommodates you're tastes as well as any food allergies/intolerances. Lula's is not your average catering business with minimal choices and no changes to the menu. Chef Lori does a custom menu for each customer. She will do amazing twists on her chicken salads with homemade bread and the love butter that you must try. My favorite is the zucchini asparagus quiche which can be changed to any veggies you would like or even a crustless version. For dessert you must try her brownies with the mixed nuts on top or my favorite the pistachio cream cheese brownie. For a real treat try her famous sweet potato bourbon shortbread bars or her coffee cocoa bread pudding. Lori saved us during quarantine by allowing customers to order once a week from her amazing menu and she will do delivery or pick up. You won't be disappointed in Lula's catering!

Lori catered my wedding and it was absolutely amazing! She made sure even we got to eat which was a herculean task. Our guests raved about our unique and delicious selection. A few gusts even remarked that it was the best wedding food they've ever had. I highly recommend Lori!

Lori was recommended to me by a friend and it's clear why he loves her! Her food is absolutely amazing, fresh, homemade and creative. My guests just loved the food and I actually got to enjoy the party, which I never get to do. What I really appreciated was that all I had to do ahead of time was tell her some of my likes/dislikes and she presented me with a menu that would please everyone. It was so easy! I would definitely use her again and recommend her to anyone.

Lori has been catering our special events and board of trustees meetings for years. I trust her judgment for the menus; all I have to tell her is date, time, and number of attendees. Her cooking is local, fresh, in season, and always delicious. I always have someone ask for her business card after they've tasted one of Lori's meals...she's the best!
