Dagar's Catering of Austin

Overall Dagar's was great. We chose to go through Dagar's for our food, bar, and table/chair rentals. They are full service and made our life so much easier. I first met with Katherine for an initial consultation. She was very informative and detailed about the services they provide. She was also very familiar with our venue and had done several weddings there already. This put my mind at ease because this meant they had it down and I didn't have do too much in regard to overseeing what went where etc...She walked me through the floor plan and options of where we could put things such as the cake, bar, tables, and buffet line. We went to a tasting, which was great. I loved the experience of it and the opportunity to try various foods they offer. I fell in love with the poblano chicken...however, it didn't taste quite as good at the wedding as it did at the tasting. The white fish, however, was phenomenal!Katherine was flexible and very helpful throughout the process. The only thing she didn't budge on was mixing up the menu for us. However, she did end up allowing us to have an option of two entrees for our guests. She also ended up throwing in champagne flutes for free at the last minute because I had forgotten about that minor details:/ The wait staff and bartender we had were great. They were service oriented and ensured everyone was well served. I also feel that they did a wonderful job at setting up all of the chairs and tables and making my special day look great....thank you Dagar's:)

Everything was AMAZING. The food was delicious and the service was impeccable. All of our guests complimented on how great the food tasted and how much they enjoyed the service of the staff. The staff went above and beyond our expectations. It simply could not have been better. I would and have already recommened you to everyone I know! Thank you so much for helping to make my wedding special.

Our venue offered four catering options, one of which was Dagar's. We ultimately chose Dagar's because they seemed to be the best value. Also, they have an extensive menu from which to choose. Overall, we were very pleased with the service and food on our wedding day. Our guests seemed impressed with the build-your-own pasta station.

The food was delicious! We went for a cheaper option on the chicken but it was fantastic. They also let us customise the menu when it came to choosing different vegetable options and or starch options. I also really enjoyed the tastings that they provided. The had a cocktail hour setting and brought around many different types of appetisers and meals to try so you could get a great view of what they could provide and the presentation was fantastic.

I know that Dagar's sometimes gets mixed reviews...but they were great for us. They let us customize some of our menu and everyone thought the food was delicious! We bought our own alcohol but their servers were great! They keep food aside for the newly married couple to eat later - so thankful!!

Dagar's Catering was wonderful to work with. They were always helpful and very flexable. Their cost was very reasonable. They were recommended by the venue and the venue did not steer us wrong. Dagar's was always very professional and friendly on the telephone and the night of my daughter's wedding was no different. All of the catering staff were so friendly and so helpful. They treated us like we were the most important people they had ever served. They packaged food for my daughter and her husband to take with them and packaged the rest of the food for my husband and myself to take home with us. The guests told us several times that the food was the best they had ever had at a wedding. I would highly recommend Dagar's to anyone if they want their event to go smoothly. I did not have to do anything but sit back and enjoy the evening. Thank you Dagar's for making my daughter's wedding so wonderful!

Dagar's was the recommended Caterer for my venue. We were offered a tasting on a week night 2 months before the wedding. We tasted a variety of food, most of which was on the high end of their menu--things we could not afford. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't taste our specific food items but we received an overall feel for their menu.Our contact at Dagar's was out of the country for the month proceeding our wedding so our emails were returned by someone I was not familiar with. All in all, our guests enjoyed our food. The Caterer prepared plates for us but when we were served it was ice cold. Very disappointing.My father also commented that he went back for 2nds and they had already cleared the buffet. Many guest would have eaten more had the food not been cleared off so quickly.

We loved Dagar's! We dealt with Frank, who does the weddings for our venue. He was wonderful! He was a little slow in responding at times, but he more than made up for it at the wedding. After the ceremony, he was waiting outside for us with water and to congratulate us! It was so thoughtful!The food was wonderful (so I heard... I didn't eat any of it because of nerves). It was beautiful to look at and we heard nothing but compliments from our guests.

Dagar's was recommended to me by my venue, and after deliberating over their menu choices I decided to go with them simply becuase they weren't over the top expensive. They have an open house that you attend to get a taste of their food, BUT it's not even gauranteed that you get to try the food you are actually serving at your wedding, which we didn't. It is also held at their meeting place where they meet potential clients which is very, very small. There was hardly any breathing room in there, and to be honest my favorite thing that we tried was the cake. And that isn't even made by them. Also, when we went for our initial meeting with them we were on time, early actually...and the lady who was there was meeting with someone else and kept us waiting outside (there is nowhere else to wait inside..it's way too personal and we would of been all in the other persons business) and she never even apologized for keeping us waiting or anything. She just eventually opened the door and asked if she could help us. The food at the wedding was ok, it honestly looked a little old like it had been ready for a few hours or more before it was served to us. I wasn't impressed needless to say. They did pack a togo plate for each of us which was nice, because we hardly got to eat at all at the reception. If you are on a budget then i would say that dagars will do, but if you can afford it..go somewhere else.

We were very pleased with Dagar's.They went above and beyond.Our guests were very impressed with the food and service.We had the Italian Buffet.Not only are they very good they are very affordable.I would recommend going to one of their tasting events before you decide on your menu.

Dagar's Catering was awesome! We liked everything about them! Frank was very responsive and professional. We planned our wedding on a short time-line. Initially, our wedding date was not open, but Frank was able to fit us into the date. The food was delicious! We chose the brisket, smoked turkey, and sausage. Everything was so tasty. Everyone commented specifically on the sausage, potatoes, and beans. So good! The service was excellent. At the wedding, they made a plate for my husband, the best man, and myself. They checked with us throughout the night to make sure that we had everything we needed. They got us drinks as well, which was above and beyond what they had to do. It was something that we didn't even know that we needed. We were so busy trying to talk to all the guests, that eating and drinking weren't foremost in our minds, but Frank and his crew made sure that we were taken care of without intruding at all. I can't say enough about how great they were!

Dagars was the preferred vendor at our venue, so we went with them for our fajita buffet. Frank did an awesome job, and was very understanding when things ran behind thanks to an accident that caused traffic issues. I loved that, unlike many caterers, they let you take leftovers home with you since you have already paid for them. I used to be a cook at a high-end hotel in austin, and leftovers from banquets were taken away and given to the hotel staff, even though they were paid for! those leftovers came in handy, since we moved the weekend after the wedding!

Keep in mind, I did not choose Daggar's catering for my final wedding caterer, but they were in the running. They have wonderful open houses, I highly recommend going to one of these before making your decision. In the end it was the cost that kept us from using Dagar's but the do seem to be service oriented. They were very polite whenever I called, but the open house I went to was so crowded, I didn't get to talk to anyone about services for my venue.

Dagar's catering was a nice choice and the food was delicious. The responsiveness from the caterer could have been a little more attentive and prompt. I felt the day of the wedding, the caterer was a little distant and rude. However, the servers were polite and professional. I do think Dagar's was a little too expensive for the service they provided but the food was very good.

WONDERFUL! Food, service, value, they had it all, would recommend them to everyone!

They were very professional and the food was GREAT! They made sure that there was a plate ready for my husband and I the minute we sat down after taking pictures.

My MOH and I went to an open house at Dagars, and I was immediately sold. They provided so much in thier package deals, and were able to mold the menu to the theme I wanted (apples). The woman in charge (oops, I forgot her name) had great ideas to make the meal affordable for me, but delicious! We did family style service so the servers brought out hot portions for each table to serve themselves, and it was actually HOT! Usually when you are served a meal (even in a buffet sometimes) it is always cold. Bleck! But not this meal -- and it was outside and a little windy too. Everyone loved the food (even the picky ones) and it was everything I asked for.
