Salads – Fresh, customizable, and perfect for all diets.
Grain Bowls – Healthy, hearty, and versatile.
Chicken Dishes – Always a favorite, from grilled to stuffed or sauced.
Pasta – Comforting, affordable, and great for feeding a crowd.
BBQ – Especially popular in Ocala, FL—perfect for casual or outdoor events.
Breakfast Foods – A hit for brunches and early events.
Desserts – No menu is complete without something sweet.
Cheese Boards – Great for grazing tables and cocktail hours.

These options work especially well for buffet-style service, giving guests variety while keeping your event fun and flexible.
The most commonly used menu style is the à la carte menu. This type of menu allows guests to select individual items rather than choosing from preset combinations. Each dish is priced separately, giving clients full control over what they want to serve and how much they spend. À la carte menus are flexible and work well for both small and large events, whether you’re planning a casual gathering or an upscale celebration.
