How quickly can I get a catering quote, and do you accommodate last-minute orders?

We provide custom catering quotes within 24 hours of your inquiry. We offer same-week availability for corporate delivery drop-offs, boxed lunches, and urgent office luncheons across Greater Houston. For weddings and large galas, we recommend booking 1 to 3 months in advance.

What are your most popular signature soul food catering dishes?

Our most-requested event favorites include Tender Beef Oxtails, Bourbon Peach Glazed Salmon, Brown Sugar Bourbon Smoked Baby Back Ribs, Cajun Garlic Butter Steak Bites, Cajun Seafood Pasta, 5-Cheese Baked Macaroni, Braised Collard Greens, and our Signature Mint Lemonade.

Do you provide full-service catering, event planning, decor, and servers in Galveston?

Yes! We provide full-service event production across Galveston Island, Jamaica Beach, and Bolivar Peninsula/Crystal Beach. This includes full event planning, venue coordination, table decor and linens, professional uniformed servers and bussers, as well as turnkey drop-off feasts for beach houses and family reunions.

Can I book a private tasting before my wedding or large gala?

Yes. We offer curated private tastings for weddings and large corporate events. Tasting deposits are fully credited toward your final contract balance upon booking.

What is the difference between Drop-Off Only and Delivery with Setup?

Drop-Off Only arrives hot in insulated transport boxes ready for immediate self-service. Delivery with Setup includes our staff arranging disposable or stainless wire chafers, sternos, water pans, and serving utensils so your buffet line is fully heated and guest-ready upon arrival.

Can we hire just your servers, bussers, or event decor for an event?

Yes. We offer standalone hospitality staffing (uniformed servers, station carvers, bussers) and complete event decor rentals (tablecloths, linens, centerpieces, and backdrop styling) in addition to our culinary catering.

Is Ebony Eyes Soul Food qualified for government and municipal catering contracts?

Yes. We are a certified, fully licensed, and commercial general liability insured caterer with 25+ years of experience meeting municipal, state, and federal procurement standards.

Do you offer dietary accommodations such as pescatarian, vegan, or gluten-free?

Yes. We prepare custom dietary dishes including coastal pescatarian blackened fish, Creole seafood pastas, seasoned plant-based vegan and vegetarian entrees, and gluten-free accommodations.
