Raffel’s began as a small family catering business in Roselawn, Ohio in 1973. Founded by Pat and Emily Raffel, along with Pat’s parents, the business started in a modest shop on Losantiville Road. As word spread and demand grew, Raffel’s moved up the road to Evendale in 1988, opening its first banquet hall alongside the catering business. Continued success soon led to the addition of a second banquet hall, expanding their reach throughout the Tri-State.
More than 50 years later, Raffel’s remains proud to serve Cincinnati with some of the best menus and hospitality in the city. Just like in 1973, sauces are still made from scratch, beef is roasted fresh to order, and the macaroni & cheese is prepared with real milk and cheese—the way it should be. At Raffel’s, we don’t think of it as “catered” food, but as good food, the kind we’re proud to share with our own families and yours.
Our success has always been built on loyal customers who trust us with their most important events. We’re grateful to the many families and businesses who have chosen Raffel’s over the decades, and we look forward to continuing to grow, evolve, and serve our community for generations to come.
