Simply amazing food. We ordered a few different dinners and offerings to have over the Christmas weekend and it all reheated well and kept great flavor. Our only issue, we didn't have enough room in our bellies to keep eating! I've already recommended her to my work for any future catering needs.

I had the pleasure of using Cyd’s Catering for an event, and I must say, it was an exceptional experience. The food they provided was not only delicious but also beautifully presented.The owner, in particular, was a delight to work with. Her attention to detail and commitment to making our event special was evident throughout the entire process.I highly recommend Cyd”s Catering for any event, big or small.

This was my first and last experience with Cyd and her team. The food was decent. I didn't feel it was special or above and beyond. I felt it was arranged nicely in platters, but nothing I could not have done myself. Where I'm truly disappointed is here...1. I called for an explanation of an item and the owner answered and directed me to the website. I wanted someone to describe "assorted desserts" I think that's fair and not to be put back to a page that didn't have it listed. This is your food Cyd, you should be the one to take command for telling people what you offer. Second, every item was wrapped and dropped on my table. Your employee DID NOT finish helping unwrap do any setup. I dropped off your cleaned service and dishes and she's said she would bring that to your attention and you would call or do something to make it up to me. No one did. So.... for those that are looking for catering just know that they are okay, but have their quirks and issues. They did not get a 5 star rating because they didn't do that for me. They did the very minimum.***12/6/23 Edit*** Cyd And staff...I really appreciate your response here, but I would've never left a public review if you had listened to your associate when I dropped off the service wear, but you didn't. I am a woman and would always choose local and female-owned, but you didn't treat me right and this could've been avoided had you called me and treated me like it mattered. Woman to woman. I've had my own business and understand what it takes, you could've apologized and taken 5 minutes to call or sent an email, especially since it was my first experience with your business, but you were paid and simply didn't care until you saw my opinion.Best wishes, happy holidays and lessons learned for all.

Unbelievable! Cyd's Catering provided a lovely charcuterie for my family gathering over the Thanksgiving holiday weekend. The quality of the products and attention to detail are above and beyond anything I was expecting. No wonder I always see that they are consistently voted as the number one caterer in Des Moines. I had to travel a few hours away and Cyd's had everything packaged to be kept cool and fresh until my arrival. We will be ordering from Cyd for years to come!

Cyd’s catering played a huge role in creating a memorable experience for my brother and sister in law’s wedding shower. The food was absolutely delicious and it was so helpful to have the friendly serving help. They even helped connect us with vendors for other services on the big day. We will certainly use Cyd’s catering for future events and gatherings. The food is so delicious! Thank you thank you!

Outstanding customer service and really great menu options! The website made online ordering and payment very easy. The follow-up communication from Cyd's team confirmed all the details - a real person called me!The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The delivery team set up the buffet for my family and provided dishes and utensils.Looking forward to enjoying delicious food from Cyd and team again soon!

I used Cyd's for my wedding and it was the most amazing food I've ever had. My guests were all impressed by the brisket, the chicken was tender and the charcuterie board was next level. The staff was professional and extremely helpful. I can't wait to find an excuse to have them cater for me again.

Cyds catered to an event I hosted for the NCAA event. Some of the best food I've ever had in Des Moines but most importantly some of the best service on the catering side I've ever seen/experienced. Highly highly recommend booking Cyds for any future events

I used Cyd's for the first time for a small holiday event for veterans and am so glad I did. They were timely, everything was well packaged, they stayed in communication with me, and it was fast friendly service. Not to mention EVERYONE loved the food and there was plenty of it. So thankful I found this caterer and will use again for future events.
We used Cyd’s Catering for our daughters birthday part. The food and service was amazing!! The food was delivered fresh, set up properly and everyone loved the taste. Cyd’s was the best we’ve used and would highly recommend. I seriously can’t say enough wonderful things about the whole catering experience.

We ordered a few take home meals for Thanksgiving today after our plans changed at the last minute. We received a feast of some of the best food we’ve ever had. I can’t say enough good things. Highly recommended!
