When you choose Donovan’s Dish, rest assured that nothing is left to chance. The menus have been tested and tested again, the set-up is prompt, service is buttoned-up, and clean-up is thorough — the Signature Service provided by our full time wait staff is nothing less than top notch.
The Ingredients of a Great Catering Company
Fresh Food, Made into Delicious
Dishes, and Served Perfectly.
Dishes, and Served Perfectly.
Of course it’s all about the food. But it’s also about the service.
The smart, clean look of our staff, and their professional approach, are of utmost importance to us. You’ll always recognize the women’s bright red lipstick and hair in a bun, the men’s crisp white shirts and red bow ties.
Our customers have often remarked on the friendliness and professionalism of our servers… and have noticed that today’s server is someone that has served them before!
We believe that a delicious dish is one that is well served.
Let’s peak behind the scenes and

Colin and TJ worked along side each other for over a decade in restaurants and catering.”When TJ and Jill started Donovan’s Dish, I knew I had to be a part of it” says Colin. Born and raised in Raleigh, NC, Colin ran a family restaurant for 8 years. TJ always said, “Colin hustles — non stop. And not only does he work like a beast, he creates an amazing environment of teamwork and fun camaraderie.” Colin now heads up the Donovan’s Dish culinary team continuing on TJ’s passion for memorable events and delicious, beautiful food. |

Originally from Ann Arbor, Michigan, Rhonda came to Apex, North Carolina in 2007. She joined the Donovan’s Dish team in 2016 and it was a match made in heaven. She brings 14 years of customer service experience to the table, and it doesn’t hurt that she brings us yummy baked goods once in a while – our favorite is her rice crispy treat recipe! When she’s not helping out customers in the Markets, she enjoys crafting and spending time with her husband of 23 years and her 2 boys whenever they’re home from NC State and ECU. Rhonda loves the relationships she builds with our regular customers, and always enjoys seeing new faces in the Markets, too! |
