wonderful caterer with awesome staff and delicious food

This one star has zero reflect on the quality of food, rather to bring awareness of the quality of humans you have delivering it.
My husband and I are driving on South Bound 37 currently and The catering truck pulled out front of us, swirving into our lane clearly not looking where they were going. The fact that we were able to avoid a collision was astonishing. When we honked and looked at who was driving they were cracking up laughing as the passenger was shoveling food into his mouth.
Just thought you should know who is representing you.

Tyler Haaksma is AMAZING!!! Applause catered our wedding this past weekend and I have nothing but amazing things to say about he company, especially Tyler Haaksma's customer service. Originally Slows BBQ was set to cater our wedding, but when they closed I was tossed into a tizzy. I messaged all of the vendors my venue worked with and Tyler/Applause responded very fast, which was a continuing trend for all of our communication. Tyler and the chef made a custom menu to mimic almost exactly+more my original menu with Slows and the food was AMAZING!!!! I will definitely use applause again if I ever need catering.

My husband and I loved working with Applause. Their attention to detail was phenomenal, and everything turned out perfectly. The staff was so accommodating to our guests with allergies and dietary preferences as well, everyone raved about how good the food was! I highly recommend working with Applause!

We had Applause Catering for my daughter and son in laws wedding this past Saturday. They were fantastic to work with and the food was amazing!! We had the sesame soy salmon, korean grilled steak, maple carrots, white cheddar mashed potatoes,roasted cauliflower, salad & rolls. All our guests kept telling us how much they enjoyed the dinner!Stephanie was our event coordinator and Tyler was the day of coordinator and both were fantastic. We highly recommend them!!

Stephanie worked with us to do several reschedules due to covid. We had our party last weekend and the service and the food were wonderful! I highly recommend Applause for any event, the staff is courteous and helpful. I had a great experience working with them!

Their catering drivers are horrible! Very dangerous driving on the road.

DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY if you have an event in the future where you're unsure what will happen with COVID-19. Absolutely shady business practices, and a horrible lack of communication when it came to reschedules/cancellation even though they did absolutely no work. Look elsewhere!

Applause Catering + Events is truly wonderful when it comes to excellent catering service and quality. I've had the pleasure of working with Applause for multiple events, and they are always timely, organized, and friendly with guests. The Applause team takes guest service to a whole new level, and will do all that they can to provide the best experience possible. I highly recommend them for any of your event catering needs!

Fantastic and friendly service, and the food always delicious! Have use them many times and never disappoints. Always our first choice when needed for parties. Their BBQ Boys service it’s great for picnics or outings too!

They have great food here and the staff is friendly. While they have a huge selection and most items tast great, they do have a few hit or miss for my taste buds. The chicken dishes tend to be dry than their other meats. My favorite things here are the dessert and breakfast options. I highly recommend breakfast catering. Location can be easy to miss as it is on the beltline and in an industrial section.

As the year is coming to an end I would like to comment on what a great job Applause did for my daughter and son in law's wedding in July. Tyler and his staff went above and beyond to make sure everything went smoothly. We had many compliments from our guests on the food and staff. I would definitely recommend them and 5 stars.
