MOONDOG MAKERS & BAKERS

Something familiar. Something different.

What is Moondog?

Moondog embodies a mindset, a project, a mentality—a good kind of bad attitude. It's a journey forward, a reflection on the past, progress intertwined with roots and branches. It's about having fun, fostering creativity, embracing individuality, celebrating community. It's about hard work, passion, selflessness, confidence, and a hint of hipness—perhaps not for everyone but welcoming and engaging nonetheless. Moondog is as tough as a well-done opossum, the spirit of Sharon and Karen, the essence of Farmer John, the flavor of Parmesan, and a burst of color in our grey matter.

  • Eric Atkins - TKE - Inventory Control Manager

    Moondog Makers and Bakers standout in the food world. Everything they do is top notch and done with extreme care. They have been part of many of our family events and will be for years to come. They never disappoint.

  • Terre & Orma Smith - CanopyNation

    Moondog does so many amazing events for me - from family dinners, holidays, engagement parties, etc. he is so easy to work with and does a great job. I can’t recommend him and his team enough!

  • Amber Davenport - Wedding - 11/18/23 - The Wynnewood - Coldwater, MS

    Working with Joey and the rest of the Moondog crew was nothing short of amazing! Planning a wedding alone can be stressful and hectic, but having Joey in our corner, I knew I wouldn't have to worry about the food. He always communicated and never once made me feel like a bother, even with my million questions. Living well over an hour from them, my husband and I made two trips to taste-test their pizzas and we would (and will) make the drive again in a heartbeat, as it's easily worth the travel time!

    I loved being able to choose 5 unique flavors of pizza, as well as getting both a salad and an appetizer, so there was plenty of variety for everyone there. In addition to the pizza and wings, they made some killer desserts! The raspberry lemon cheesecake squares were fought over by my bridal party because everyone wanted them. The hardest part about the whole process was deciding which food to choose, and which flavors to get once we decided on pizza because they have SO many food options!

    I can't talk about just their food though, because the people behind the great food are also great humans. Many of our guests shared that they just loved being able to hang out and talk to them and I, myself, just enjoy their company.

    My husband and I loved having their food at our wedding, and wish we had other big parties to cater, because we would, without a doubt, hire Moondog again!!

  • Clayton Stanley President - The Alliance - Corinth, MS

    Moondog is so much more than the guy who consistently puts out the most incredible and unique cuisine in a fun and hip way. It’s more than great food, it’s a great experience. Moondog is also one of Corinth’s exciting entrepreneurs - turning his passion into a business. I couldn’t be more proud of Moondog.

  • Nick & Kimberly Dodd

    Moondog Makers and Bakers are an outstanding catering service. Their unique combinations of foods and perfectly paired menu items will have every thing you eat become your new favorite meal. Not to mention that the guys are always friendly, professional, easy to work with and love what they do. I cannot recommend Moondog enough! 5/5 stars every time!

  • Bobby Burns - Chief Administrative Officer/ Purchase Clerk - Alcorn County

    I have had the pleasure of using Moondog on several occasions as well as attending events where they were catering. And let me just say they are FANTASTIC! Chef Joey has the ability to pair the food together for the perfect combination to enhance any event. And let’s not forget the specialty Burgers and Pizza that always sells out on “Tree Street Night”. Both are off the charts good! I would also be remiss not to mention the outstanding rubs that you can also buy for cooking at home. Moondust being my favorite. If you want a great food experience give Moondogs a try! You can thank me later…

  • Cristian Dodd - Pharmacist

    Moondog Makers and Bakers, led by the talented Chef Joey Thompson, delivers an unforgettable culinary adventure. Joey’s menus are full of creativity and are completely customizable depending on the event.

    Beyond the delectable food, Joey has exceptional customer service, attentiveness to detail, and shows genuine care for his guests. Moondog isn't just a culinary journey; it's an immersive experience in inventive flavors, menu diversity, and unparalleled hospitality.

  • Dr. William Dodd - Optometrist | Dodd Eye Clinic

    The Moondog gang is the real deal. The menus he creates are original and I'm always amazed by the flavors he brings together. I've had his food at a private dinner for two, a neighborhood cookout, and catering for 500+. He can do it all.

  • JC Johnson - Sparks Accounting

    As I’ve grown older, food has taken an even more important role in my life. I have taken an interest in cooking and eating great food more now than ever. A couple of years ago, I was introduced to Moondog Makers & Bakers from Corinth, MS. Joey is the head chef and his cooking crew is second to none! My first experience with Joey was a Valentine banquet, and the food and atmosphere blew me away. Joey and I became friends before the end of the night. His attention to detail and seasoning ability is unmatched. My wife and I have been to more special events that Joey and Moondog Makers & Bakers has put on and each meal gets better than the last! I cannot recommend these guys enough. If you’re looking for great food, seasoned perfectly, and cooked to perfection…Moondog Makers & Bakers is the only choice!

  • Dr. Jason Digby - Digby Dental Care

    Moondog catered our office Christmas party, and everything was absolutely amazing! They came to our house, set up their pizza oven, and made the most delicious pizzas ever!! We also had wonderful appetizers, Caesar salad, pasta, and last but definitely not least, white chocolate blueberry bread pudding that was to die for! Our employees and their spouses loved every bit of it!! Thank you Moondog for such a yummy, fun, and most memorable experience!!!

  • Jessica Coulson - Jessica Coulson Photography

    What is Moondog? If you know, you know! And if you don't, you should give them a try if you ever get a chance! Joey and his guys are absolutely amazing! Great cooks and great people.

    My family has known Joey for years. My son worked with him when he was in high school at a restaurant in our hometown. When my son graduated college, we hired Joey and his team to come cater a graduation party. They showed up and showed out! Hiring Moondog was an easy yes and always will be for us anytime we need something catered.

  • Dr. Brent and Shae Crumpton.

    Moondog exceeds all expectations. That is the bottom line when it comes to the quality and service these guys provide. Whether it’s cooking up classic Neapolitan pizza that will make a pizza aficionado cry, or serving up Michelin quality dishes worthy of the top restaurants in the country, Joey and his crew are some of the best in the business. They are also really cool people to just hangout with. We are very lucky to have them catering to our area.

The Story So Far…

A little about myself for those who don’t know me well or those of you that are new here. I grew up in New Albany, MS and moved to Corinth in 2003/2004 (it’s hazy). I met my friend Chris Wright in English Comp 2 at Northeast Mississippi Community College. We quickly became good friends with very common interests and started playing together in a punk rock band. This chance meeting paved my way to Corinth, MS and gave me a fresh perspective on friendships, life, and my own feelings toward my home state.
