Rx Catering has catered Arkansas events since 2001, and Rx Catering NWA, the Fayetteville kitchen of Rx Catering, caters Fort Smith, AR. One kitchen handling an order from first pan to last tray is the standard every other arrangement gets measured against. Rx Catering NWA cooks, packs, dispatches, and sets up every order on its own.
Combined experience is the sum of the years each member of a crew has spent at the work. At Rx Catering NWA that total is 60+ years of combined catering experience, held by former pharmaceutical representatives and executive chefs. Jay Ramsey owns a company that has catered Arkansas events since 2001, was named the SBA's Young Entrepreneur of the Year in 1996, was listed in AMP Magazine's 2022 "Fifty Over 50," and leads that group today, so a Fort Smith host orders from a kitchen run by someone with a long record, not a first attempt.
A hot entrée is the main dish of a catered meal, served hot. The menu lists Chicken Parmesan, Pot Roast, Chicken Spaghetti, BBQ Pork, Tuscan Grilled Chicken over Pesto Rice, Veggie Lasagna, Meat Lasagna, Bean Enchiladas, Stuffed Portabella Mushrooms, Baked Tilapia, Beef Brisket with party rolls, Pork Tenderloin with bourbon sauce, and Bourbon Chicken over white rice. Every hot entrée comes with plates, napkins, cutlery, and serving utensils. On the menu, "GF" marks the gluten-free hot entrées, and vegetarian entrées are offered too. Rx Catering NWA can source organic ingredients.
After a non-profit event in Fayetteville, Montesa Lorene Anne wrote that "the lasagna was fantastic" and that the "homemade salad dressing was a hit with everyone." The same kitchen sends its food to Fort Smith.
Group catering is food planned and cooked by headcount, from a conference table to a reception hall. Rx Catering NWA's event and party catering takes groups of 10 to 500+ guests. Remus Chua used Rx Catering for a wedding reception in Bentonville and wrote: "Feeding 150+ guests can be a nightmare, but they made it affordable and seamless." The menu also lists a Hamburger Bar, a Taco Salad Bar, and a Cheese & Cracker Tray.
Delivery for Fort Smith catering is the kitchen's food carried to the room where people eat. Rx Catering NWA covers offices, clinics, churches, and homes across Fort Smith, and office lunches arrive in insulated carriers, ready to serve. Bjay Delatorre wrote about a lunch delivered to a Fayetteville office: "Their staff arrived early and set everything up perfectly."
Dessert catering is the sweet end of a catered meal, ordered with the entrées. The Rx Catering NWA list runs from canned sodas and Fruit Trays to Chocolate-covered strawberries, a Gourmet Cookie Tray, and a Dessert Bar Tray. Lissa Upton, after a lunch with the works platter, wrote: "the fruit was so crisp and sweet." Remus Chua's wedding reception review calls out "that Banana Pudding!"
