"Casserole -- just the name conjures up images of a housewife in the 1950s cooking in the kitchen. While it may be an 'old-school' meal, two local women have put a new spin on the humble casserole while also paying homage to those who invented them." (CBS KEYE)

"They even have a retro polka-dotted dress named for them: the suggested accessories are a vintage apron, kitten heels and a golden pendant."

"The Casserole Queens, as they're called, serve dishes that are as retro as their outfits--meatball pie, corn dog casserole, tuna noodle casserole--which is one reason to love them.."

"The Casserole Queens show us delicious ways to update our one-pot meal..."

"Channeling Betty Crocker in their kitschy retro aprons, Sandy Pollock (Classic Culinary Arts) and partner Crystal Cook bring a hearty new take on the mobile meal to greater Austin, Texas. Slinging one dish-wonders for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert, Casserole Queens accept orders online for delivery the following week..."

"Channeling the 1950s in cute aprons and with delicious casseroles on hand, Sandy Pollock and Crystal Cook are setting the Austin food delivery scene on fire with their unique style and delicious one-dish meals..."

"They won’t make your bed or do your laundry, but the Casserole Queens can bring a motherly touch to your life... If you can't decide what to order, we recommend the chicken pot pie, corn dog casserole and the spicy mac and cheese."

"If you live in Austin, Texas you MUST call the Casserole Queens’. Now, I am not a casserole kinda gal but you cannot resist these two bubbly friends that bake and deliver goodies dressed up in 50’s duds. They were adorable and you could tell that they love their job, their communities and their friendship..."

"Casseroles never really stopped being cool. Austinite Sandy Pollock realized this one Christmas a few years back and, over cocktails with her longtime friend and former co-worker Crystal Cook, decided to start Casserole Queens, a casserole delivery service. Not even three years after the company started and the Casserole Queens have already caught the attention of Bobby Flay, who competed against them in an as- yet-unaired episode of the Food Network’s “Throwdown with Bobby Flay” last year at Speakeasy.."

"The ‘co-queens’, as they’re called, serve comfort food at its best... we love the brie, sausage, and egg casserole."

"Lovingly prepared with fresh ingredients and hand-delivered by the Queens themselves, the Casserole Queens serve up nostalgia on a plate—something we can all use once in a while."

"Our newsroom tasters gave a big thumbs up to the garlicky baked ziti."

The Casserole Queens have five out of five stars on Yelp.

One review: "The Casserole Queens are wonderful people who make wonderful casseroles. My mother is in a wheelchair, and though she is able to work full time and share in the care of my young nephew, she isn’t able to cook easily. This leaves too much for my father to do, and now that I live far away, I haven’t been able to shop for or cook for them. So I searched and found Casserole Queens. That way my father has a casserole in the freezer when he needs it, and I don’t have to worry about him quite as much….."

Another: "Yum! Casserole Queens was sampling a few of their casseroles at the last Yelp event at Molotov Lounge and man, was it good. When I came in, I was fairly full from dinner at home and went for a sampling of their dessert, Peanut Butter Banana Creme Pie. Upon my first bite, I discovered that the dessert had a supreme flavor with a delicate mix of peanut buttery goodness and creamy, sugary topping. I really enjoyed the graham cracker crumbs that were in it and to top it all off, a segment of a frozen banana was at the bottom of my little dish."

"Lunch Lady Doris’ Spicy Mac and Cheese was delicious. Rich cheese sauce with a nice little kick combined wonderfully with fresh broccoli and sun-dried tomatoes—and it was oh-so- saucy. It cooked up to perfection and was well seasoned and tasty."
