We have used Nelson's Catering for several years for our BIG Fundraiser for our football boosters. Every year we have been extremely pleased with the planning/prep stage, on time delivery, quality of food, support of the workers and the profits that we are able to make due to cost. I would encourage others to use Nelson's for their catering and fundraising. We are considering using them for a fall meal also. Amazing Job!!!

My company had the best experience with Nelson's! The food was delicious, but the service is what made our experience great. We needed to place an order with short notice, and the whole team made it a breeze! Won't think twice about using their services in the future. Thank you guys so much!
