CJDoggs/Calvin Jr's - Event Catering Vendor Profile
Best For: Weekend events (Friday evening through Sunday), casual gatherings and celebrations, Nashville-area corporate functions, community events requiring accessible catering
What planners usually like:
- Limited operating hours mean fewer scheduling conflicts if your event falls on Friday-Sunday, making coordination more straightforward
- Located at a fixed Nashville address (3737 Bell Rd), providing clarity on pickup/delivery logistics for your venue
- Direct phone contact allows for personalized menu discussions and customization based on your specific guest count and preferences
- Focusing on quality offerings suggests attention to food preparation standards that reflect well on your event
Things to clarify before booking:
- Confirm whether catering includes on-site service, setup, and staffing, or if it's food-only delivery/pickup arrangement

Common questions
What should I expect when calling CJDoggs/Calvin Jr's for catering?
Call +1 731-478-4050 during their operating hours (Friday 2-7 PM, Saturday 10 AM-7 PM, Sunday 10:30 AM-7 PM) to discuss your event date, guest count, venue location, and specific menu needs. Have your event details ready so they can provide accurate pricing and availability confirmation.
Are there any limitations I should know about their schedule?
Yes—CJDoggs/Calvin Jr's is closed Monday through Thursday, which means they only cater Friday-Sunday events. If your event falls on a weekday, this vendor won't be an option, so plan your event date accordingly or identify backup catering providers.
How do I determine if their pricing fits my event budget?
Contact them directly for a quote since pricing isn't listed online. Provide your guest count, menu preferences, service type (delivery vs. on-site), and venue location. Request itemized pricing to compare against other Nashville catering vendors and ensure transparency.
What should I ask about regarding food quality and menu options?
Inquire about their standard menu offerings, ingredient sourcing, food safety certifications, and whether they accommodate dietary restrictions. Ask for references from previous events or sample menus to evaluate if their quality standards align with your event vision.
When should I book with CJDoggs/Calvin Jr's to secure my date?
Since they operate only 9 hours per week, weekend dates (especially Saturdays) can fill quickly. Contact them at least 2-4 weeks in advance for popular dates, and secure your booking with a contract that outlines the menu, guest count, service details, and cancellation policy.
How do I handle logistics if they're located at 3737 Bell Rd?
Clarify whether they deliver to your venue or if pickup is required. Discuss setup time, equipment needs (tables, serving utensils, warming equipment), staff included, and cleanup responsibility. Confirm your venue's address is within their service radius and ask about any delivery fees.
