Common Questions About Our Catering Services
What's the minimum guest count for crawfish boil catering?
We typically work with a minimum of 20 guests to make the event worthwhile and keep pricing reasonable. For smaller groups, we can discuss alternatives or connect you with our catering services in Dallas, which may offer different minimums for other menu types.
How far from Mockingbird Ln. will you travel to cater?
We’re happy to serve the full Dallas-Fort Worth area. Events on Mockingbird Ln. itself or nearby in Highland Park, East Dallas, or near SMU are easiest for us to schedule, but we regularly cater across the metroplex. Travel fees may apply for venues significantly outside central Dallas.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions or allergies?
Absolutely. Let us know about shellfish allergies, vegetarian guests, or other dietary needs when you book. We work with you to create alternative menu items or modify the boil setup. Transparency upfront means no surprises on event day.
How much advance notice do you need to book?
For most events, we recommend booking 2–3 weeks in advance to ensure crawfish availability and your preferred date. During peak crawfish season (late winter through spring), booking earlier is wise. For urgent requests, call us directly we often accommodate shorter timelines if capacity allows.
