ABOUT US

At Carnell’s Big Soul Catering Co., we believe good food feeds more than just your appetite—it feeds the soul. Based in Ooltewah, Tennessee, we are a mobile catering business dedicated to delivering mouthwatering soul food with warmth, joy, and Southern hospitality.


Founded with a passion for people and flavor, we cater a wide range of events—from weddings and graduations to church functions, baby showers, parties, and school celebrations. Wherever there’s a reason to gather, we’re ready to serve.

Our menu features classic comfort foods like chicken wings, hamburgers, and hotdogs, all prepared fresh and seasoned to perfection. But what truly sets us apart is the love and care we put into every plate. We believe that a good meal brings people together, and we’re proud to play a part in your most meaningful moments.


At Carnell’s, we don’t just serve food—we serve community, connection, and unforgettable flavor.
