For over four decades, our family-owned business has been catering parties associated with and celebrating the University of Georgia. We don’t have an exact number, but it’s safe to say we have served tens of thousands of meals for UGA-related and Greek Life events.

With three generations of UGA graduates in our midst, it’s a constant battle to see who can out ‘UGA’ each other to be the most involved in the UGA community. We have a deep appreciation for the university and its community and are excited to have this new space to host more UGA events.
