Thumbtack customerAug 2026

The barbecue was absolutely delicious! The chicken was tender, juicy, and full of flavor, the cornbread was perfectly sweet and moist, and the ribs were amazing—fall-off-the-bone tender with incredible seasoning. Everything was cooked beautifully, and we enjoyed every bite!

If you’re looking for a caterer who treats your event like it’s their own, look no further than Rooted En Flavor. We hired them for my daughter Bryanna’s baby shower and they exceeded every expectation from start to finish. The process began well before the event — the planning conversations and menu design were collaborative, thoughtful, and clearly driven by people who take real pride in what they do. They listened, made recommendations, and helped us build a menu that felt personal to the occasion rather than generic. On the day of the shower, the onsite execution was seamless. The team’s attention to detail was evident in everything — from the presentation of the food to the way they engaged with our guests to make sure everyone was taken care of. That kind of service-minded presence during an event is rare and it made a real difference in how the day felt. And the food? Outstanding. Every dish landed the way it was promised — fresh, flavorful, and well-timed throughout the event. Rooted En Flavor didn’t just cater our shower — they helped make it memorable. We will absolutely be using them again and would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for a team that brings both culinary excellence and genuine hospitality to the table.

Rooted en Flavor was a great company to work with. The owner was responsive and professional. She worked with us to create a diverse menu of foods for my grandmother’s 95th birthday. Overall, the food was flavorful and well liked.

The food for my party was elevated in every way! Not only were all the dishes delicious, but the presentation and service were outstanding. Dessert was especially a highlight! I appreciated the communication ahead of time to discuss the likes and preferences of the guest of honor. Every effort was made to customize a menu that met the needs of my specific occasion. Numerous guests left my house asking for a referral for the catering. I highly recommend Rooted En Flavor!

Could not be happier or more impressed with the food and service provided by Cheryl. The food was absolutely amazing. Cheryl was very responsive throughout the process and created the perfect menu for our dinner. Each course was delicious and the filet with the blueberry sauce was one of the best steaks I have ever had.

Sheryl was a phenomenal chef with a warm and endearing personality. Her demeanor enhanced our evening! Would recommend her to anyone!

Janelle J.Dec 2024

Cheryl is amazing! I came down with a bad cold over the holidays and couldn’t cook. Cheryl and her team prepared a wonderful thanksgiving dinner for me and my family. I’m not a turkey person but Cheryl’s deep fried turkey is a must try! I would certainly recommend.

India W.Nov 2024

The food was delicious! The service was personal but a little slow. The cleaning was terrible! I had to clean and hire a professional cleaning service to return my kitchen to a clean state. I wanted to have a stress free experience but the aftermath was stressful.

Nancy A.Nov 2024

Chef Cheryl jumped into planning our daughter’s wedding dinner to include matching the plates with wedding colors. She was able to plan and execute this dinner with less than 14 days notice. Our guests still rave about how special the appetizers and dinner were

Brian D.Oct 2024

Rooted en Flavor did an amazing job for my wife's birthday party. In the days leading up to it, Cheryl was extremely responsive and accommodating as we agreed upon the menu and made a substitution. At the party, Cheryl showed the utmost professionalism and brought out a series of amazing and delicious food items, one after another. The food quality was top-notch, and Cheryl was the perfect server in making my guests feel special. I would definitely use Rooted en Flavor again. Highest recommendation!

MJ M.Sep 2024

Rooted En Flavor is an excellent choice for your catering needs. Went above and beyond by promptly responding to several additional document requests from event venue. I would hire this caterer again and highly recommend!

Lanita W.Sep 2024

Wonderful experience with Rooted En Flavor. I used Thumbtack for the first time Ever and this caterer was very responsive from the first inquiry. She sounded professional. Her web page was sharp. So I took a chance on a company where I had no referral nor personal experience. I gave her my vision and sent pictures of the venue. My budget was shaky in the beginning but I was able to shore it up. She was willing to work with my change in budget amounts. Phenomenal flavor and she provided an on-site server. She matched my vision EXACTLY. spot on! I highly recommend Rooted En Flavor. My event was a reception for a favorite Penn State MBA Professor/Advisor. Alumni spanning 20 years met in DC for this event.
