About Kalmes Restaurant & Catering

Kalmes Restaurant & Catering in Bellevue, IA is a cozy spot that offers good food and a welcoming atmosphere. The place may look like a gas station, but inside, there is a bar area, dining room, and even a banquet room for parties. The service is excellent, even when it gets busy with events like snowmobilers' fundraisers. It is considered a hidden gem by many, with a wide selection on the menu. The Windy Whopper is awesome, being a handmade burger rather than a frozen patty, and the steak sandwich is noted as one of the best around. The salad bar is a favorite among customers, and the prices are fair for the quality of food. They also host events like birthday parties, with helpful staff and child-friendly setups. The Thanksgiving buffet is a hit, offering delicious home-cooked meals at great prices. While some recent experiences have had issues, like slow service and cold food, most customers have had positive visits. Kalmes is a must-visit spot if passing through the town.

Kalmes does a phenomenal job with catering! We had them cater both our rehearsal dinner and wedding dinner and it went amazing! Jimmy makes everything so simple during the planning process. There is a reason why so many people use their company for catering such big events! The food was amazing and their staff did an excellent job!

Had Kalmes for our wedding day and we had so many compliments on our food and how great the servers were! Highly recommend them for any event!
