Our take: A good pick if you want to shape the menu rather than choose from a set list, and it travels well beyond Nashville. Settle timing for any live stations in writing.

How the scorecard works

Rating is the live Google star average. Review volume is how many customers have rated the caterer, ranked against the others on this page. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a rating from hundreds of people carries more weight than the same rating from a few dozen. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews.
