We had an amazing dinner with Chef Dawn. She prepared meals for 6 children and 8 adults at our house in the Outer Banks. It was a relaxing and delicious experience for all of us. It felt like such a treat not to have to worry about cooking ourselves. The food was beyond expectations!read more

Dawn, Kathy and Jenna catered our Grandma's 80th birthday dinner while we stayed in OBX. Wowza! I'll let the pictures speak for how good the food looked and trust me, it tasted even better. 10/10 would recommend for any type of catering.read more

Outstanding chef and team! Dawn catered a birthday dinner party for 10 during our stay in the OBX. Everything was outstanding. Dawn helped us plan a custom menu based on our preferences. Everything was fresh and seasonal. The crab cakes were voted best we had all week. The surf and turf was delicious, with the beef tenderloin grilled to perfection. The birthday girl was still talking about the dinner the next day.
Dawn and her team handled everything from set up to clean up, leaving our kitchen in sparkling condition. We would definitely hire Dawn and her team again.read more

Simply a remarkable experience. We had Dawn cater a meal for us two years ago. I never sat down to write a review and when a friend told me they were headed to the outer banks I had to look up Dawn's again. The service was great, the food was unique and delicious, and Dawn was super attentive herself to the experience. If we head back to the outer banks, we will definitely be using her catering service again.read more

We worked with Dawn's Kitchen Catering for personal chef service for our family vacation. The entire team was great, and having all our meals prepared for the family ensured that nobody was working overtime during their vacation going to the grocery, prepping, serving and cleaning. We will certainly be working with Dawn and her staff again in the future for our family trips. Thanks so much for making this such a successful trip for all of us!read more

We planned our wedding at the Mark Twain House (5/25/18) from our home in Connecticut. I was very hesitant and found it somewhat nerve-racking to book a caterer without ever having a tasting. I reached out to about 5 different caterers before deciding to go with Dawn. Dawn was extremely fast responding to my emails and she was able to make me feel at ease with booking her for our wedding. I emailed Dawn with MANY questions and she was able to help with not only our food questions, but also some questions we had about the Mark Twain House. She was very flexible (we had a few last minute changes) and accommodating. Dawn’s team showed up and I honestly didn’t even know they were there. Extremely professional team she has. Wedding food in my opinion is never spectacular, but Dawn’s Kitchen was on another level. Everything was delicious and all of our guests commented on the food! The next day we all wished we had more!
We also booked Dawn for our post-wedding breakfast, which she left with us the night of the wedding. The next morning we just needed to heat a few things up. Breakfast was also delicious and everyone was raving about the french toast!
Dawn and her team are top notch, we can’t thank them enough for their service!read more

We used Dawn's Catering for our wedding in Nags Head and service was amazing! The staff immediately jumped in and helped put it decorations when we were scrambling after the rain. They made my husband and I our own plates to ensure we ate dinner and the food of course was amazing. Thank you Dawn, Sonny & staff!read more

Dawn gave us extra special service on our wedding day. The food was delicious and they did a spectacular job setting up the tables and decorations around the pool with little guidance from me. She kept the flow of our reception going and made sure we were on track with our timeline. I just wish I'd had more time when they arrived to ensure I gave full instructions beforehand since I forgot to tell them we also had red wine to serve! Bride Brain!read more

We were fortunate enough to be invited to a 'Pop Up Dinner' catered by Dawn's Kitchen and it was absolutely fantastic. It consisted of 7 courses with paired wines. Dawn & Sonny were very gracious and informative. The setting was in a beautiful, oceanfront house on a perfect evening! The presentation was fabulous and the fare was amazing!!! I personally enjoyed every single course and had a tough time finishing only because of how full I was... but I wasn't going to miss a bite :) We hope to do it again!read more
