Rx Catering has received Arkansas Business "Caterer of the Year," 2009 and 2011, and Arkansas Times "Best Caterer," 2010. Arkansas Business "Best Caterer," 2022 followed, alongside AMP Magazine "Best Business Caterer for Events," 2022. In 2024 Rx Catering placed as a finalist for AY Magazine "Best Caterer" and for Arkansas Times "Best Caterer." Recognition that runs from 2009 to 2024 is a record a tailgate host in Arkansas can read for themselves.

Bjay Delatorre, who had a lunch delivered to a Fayetteville office, wrote: "Special thanks to Jay Ramsey- he clearly runs a top-notch team."
The tailgate page at rxcatering.net names sandwich trays, BBQ Pork, hot buffets, dips and drinks. Beef Brisket with party rolls, the Hamburger Bar and the Cheese & Cracker Tray round out the list. Gluten-free hot entrées are marked "GF" on the menu, and vegetarian entrées are offered.
Rx Catering NWA caters groups of 10 to 500+ guests, so a family tailgate in Bentonville and a company tailgate in Rogers use the same kitchen. Rx Catering NWA can source organic ingredients.
The Fayetteville kitchen also serves corporate and office catering, wedding catering, event and party catering, breakfast, lunch and dinner catering, and desserts, trays and drinks. A tailgate order draws on the same kitchen, the same team and the same standards as a wedding reception or a clinic lunch.
