“Did a small trial with deli Double and loved the food, value and service. They catered a meeting and everyone loved the food. Starting with the delicious assortment of nut breads, donuts and baked treats followed by super fresh fruits. The variety of generously filled sandwiches were a big hit including the requested gluten free bread on a few and a few veggie only sandwiches. Gourmet chicken salad sandwich on croissant was amazing. The coffee stayed hot all day and still tasted good. The variety tray of bars/cookies was delicious and that baby field green salad with honey balsamic dressing was a highlight for sure! Thank you David and Leesa, I look forward to using Deli Double again!“

“-Vinai MN- My friend and I wanted to try Chef Yia's restaurant due to being homesick and wanting hmong food. We were met with such great service and sat where we could see the work area. Chef Yia was so kind and started us off with a complimentary appetizer, rice Curry balls. We ordered and the food came so fast. As soon as I took a bite, my eyes started to get teary because it tasted like food from home. I started fanning myself to not cry which Chef Yia saw and asked if the food was too spicy. We then started to explain that we were not from MN and were feeling a bit homesick and how the food reminded us of home. Chef Yia then said, here let's do this. He returned with a pot of beef soup that consisted of mushrooms, bamboo shoots, beef and green onion and white rice and shared that this dish was one of those dishes that we would eat at gathering and events. We we so shocked and so at loss with his kindness and compassion. We both took a bite and immediately lighted up. It tasted like my mom's cooking 💓. As we were nearing the end of our meal, Chef Yia told us not to stuff ourselves too full and surprised us with a complimentary dessert which further awed us. We were so lost at words for Chef Yia's kindness, generosity and comfort. We chose the Lava Cake and it was soooo good! I normally don't like sweets but we devoured this 😋. 1000/10 would recommend.“

“Everything was amazing! There was really something for everyone, and I only heard glowing reviews. Also, Stephen was so nice and cool and easy to work with! The whole experience was really positive for us. We feel like we for sure made the right choice.“

“Affordable Best Catering was truly the best! Wade and Ilene were amazing to work with. They did my mom’s funeral and we had no idea how many people would come. Ilene said, ‘Don’t worry, there will be enough food.” And there was! People raved about the Swedish meatballs and potatoes etc. Highly recommend them! Great to work with from beginning to end!“

“For the second year-in-a-row we've had Chef Jeff Catering at our annual Gala + Award Show. This year is was held in April at Union Depot in downtown St. Paul. We have to share that the spread of food and service was exceptional. The food was good quality. The catering staff was knowledgable about the venue location inside and out and made everything easy for us along the way.“

“As a wedding planner, it's hard to know what to write about first for Fork & Flair: their delicious food or their great service. They are both wonderful! Working with Devyn is such a pleasure and my clients all appreciate her responsiveness and her explanations. On the day of the event, the staff is on point and attentive to guests needs. And the food is amazing! The smashed potato bar is a personal favorite. You can't go wrong with Fork & Flair! - Keyed Up Events“

“Phenomenal food and a wonderful chef! We had Caribbean Kitchen cater an evening fundraiser at the Windward Fest in Wayzata last month. I was thrilled by the delicious and soulful food, including favorites like conch fritters and little key lime pie tarts. The beans and rice and the jambalaya was amazing too. I saw people going back for thirds! The chef/owner is the sweetest, kindest, most helpful guy in the world too! Highly recommend!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“La Belle Crêpe catered at my daughter’s sweet 16 birthday party. Everything was perfect, the event went smoothly and all items on the menu were so delicious. Merci Emmanuel.“

“I recently attended the NAWBO Gala at the Metropolitan Ballroom and Clubroom, and I was genuinely impressed by the entire experience. The space was elegant, beautifully designed, and the chandeliers added a stunning touch that made the evening feel special. Everything was well put together and comfortable, creating a great atmosphere for networking and celebration. As a wedding planner in the Twin Cities, I can easily see this venue being perfect for weddings or stylish events in the future. The Metropolitan Ballroom and Clubroom is a beautiful, versatile space that truly stands out.“

“Thanks for your yummy food today in honor of my birthday. It was delicious nutritious and very fun! Thank you Imani for your skills - made my day!!!!“

“Our experience using Classic Catering for our wedding had some ups and downs but was overall fine.

The food: We had a buffet dinner for our reception, and many of our guests went out of their way to compliment the food.

Day-of service: The staff we interacted with were super friendly, and our day-of coordinator said the catering lead and our late-night staff person were excellent to work with. Unfortunately, there was no water on the head table during dinner, despite us having to pay extra for water & carafes and our wedding party asking for refills several times. My sister wound up having to go refill the carafes herself a couple times during dinner. This wouldn’t have bothered us if it weren’t a service we had to pay extra for on top of the rest of the meal.

The planning process: Our point of contact during the planning process was quick to respond, but communication wasn’t always proactive and was often a bit confusing, requiring me to follow up more than I would have expected to clarify things. They could avoid a LOT of confusion by making the information on their website more clear. For example, the majority of the veggie sides are described as sauteed with butter – but when I asked about dairy-free options for guests with allergies, I was told they don’t actually use butter, but a butter substitute. Because of the dairy and egg allergies in our group, I was assured that all items on the buffet line would have placecards with allergen info, but day-of, that allergen info was missing from some cards. Thankfully, nothing bad happened -- but it could have, if the folks with allergies didn't go out of their way to clarify, which they shouldn't have had to do.

Nothing that was the end of the world, but given the price point of any wedding caterer being so high, I would have expected less stress surrounding our work with them.“

“the food and bakery items are all so delicious!!“

“My daughter and I are acai bowl connoisseurs and have had acai bowls all over this country. We both agree that this is far and away the best we've ever had. It is the most delicious acai and the most generous amount. I always get the same thing. Classic bowl with extra peanut butter, cocoa nibs and coconut flakes added to the granola and banana. At home I add my own blueberries and strawberries. I try to limit myself to 2 or 3 a week but the cravings are powerful.“

“Alex is very dependable and professional. She loves to cook and it shows (tastes amazing) in the value and ingredients of her meals.“

“The doughnuts were exceptional! I ordered the french crueller and black eye cake doughnuts. I will be back! I also tried their iced mocha, it was more of a coffee than sugary drink which I am used to our americanized sugary coffee drinks which a lot of people might appreciate less sugar. It was great!“

“We had Kafe 421 do one of the dishes at our 15-year Anniversary Gala + Award Show event. This year they made Phyllo Pizza. With Sundried tomatoes, artichoke hearts, feta and mozzerella. Was very tasty. We recommend them for your catering needs!“

“Muy bueno la comida recomendado“

“We’ve used Mr Pig for the last few years for many birthday parties and it is always a crowd pleaser. Our guests love the hog roasts and augratin potatoes as their favorites 🙂. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for a hog roast/catering service for their parties!! Most importantly, it comes highly approved by our favorite birthday boy 🐶 who gets to see his BFF’s each summer for his very own birthday plate 😁 🐶.“

“We had Twin Cities Catering handle a 35 person family event and they were phenomenal. They delivered and set up all of the food. We did their appetizers menu where we had chicken kabobs, charcuterie, and a mozzarella antipasto platter. Everyone enjoyed the food and it was very well presented. Their price is beyond competitive and moving forward we will be using Twin Cities Catering for any event. Thank you.“

“Ben & Jerry’s is always a treat for ice cream lovers, and this location delivers on the brand’s reputation for bold flavors and creamy textures. The variety is impressive—whether you’re a fan of classics like Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough or adventurous picks like Cherry Garcia, there’s something for everyone. The ice cream is rich, indulgent, and consistently fresh, making every scoop worth savoring.
The shop has a fun, colorful vibe that matches the brand’s playful personality. Staff are generally friendly and quick to serve, even during busy hours. There are options for cones, cups, and pints to-go, which is great for those who want to stock up at home.
Why not five stars? Prices are on the higher side compared to other ice cream spots, and seating can be limited during peak times. Still, the quality and unique flavors justify the splurge for most customers.
Overall, Ben & Jerry’s is a solid choice for anyone craving premium ice cream with creative twists. If you love bold flavors and a fun atmosphere, this spot won’t disappoint.“

“We had Old Southern Bbq cater for our wedding and it was absolutely an amazingly positive experience! The director of catering, Amy, was so helpful and on top of everything. The catering team was absolutely wonderful! All of our guests ranted and raved about the food all night, especially the potato salad and the cornbread muffin tops. Would definitely recommend!“

“Attended a private party here at the Lumber Exchange Event Center. The venue was well decorated for the holiday theme. Parking in the ramp made it very easy to just walk in the venue. Dinner was the highlight of the night. Unfortunately, I was only able to get one picture.“

“I placed an order online, I read all the reviews and figured I’d give it a try and I was not let down. The food was delicious and flavorful, egusi and fufu. Wow, next time I’ll definitely dine in and get the full experience. But yes I’d go back again. Thank you.“

“A space with seemingly unlimited potential for events. Beautiful, top tear location. Every space in the building has a draw: the main space having projectors for every wall space, has endless mesmerizing capabilities, the artwork in the lobby is thought-provoking and captivating, the hallway to the loo, off the main room, is a cool journey of fun backdrops that coat the walls ceiling to floor: a perfect spot for a photo op or to chat & catch your breath.
10/10 would love to attend or throw an event there again.“

“We have used Kelber Catering, at the Minneapolis convention center for V.I.P. night for the Minneapolis Boat Show. The food and bar set up were perfect for our evening. They have helped us for the past three years, and our server, rep. Dan was great. I will use them in the again.“

“Phish Food: This flavor was born in 1997 and is named after a Vermont improvisational rock group. A portion of the royalties from the flavor goes toward environmental efforts in Vermont’s Lake Champlain Watershed, which is great since our current government leadership doesn't seem to care about the environment. The pint’s description is chocolate ice cream with gooey marshmallow swirls, caramel swirls, and fudge fish. When I first began digging through my pint I did not see much of the marshmallow swirls. After mining my way through the frozen treat, I finally found a fair amount. The chocolate ice cream is rich and is complemented nicely by a school of fudgy fish that have a flavor edging closer to dark chocolate. Chocolate lovers should be happily satisfied with this one. It’s almost like a double chocolate fudge ice cream because there’s so much chocolate ice cream & fudge fish as compared to the marshmallow and caramel. Speaking of caramel, the caramel swirls do take the flavor up a notch, but they could be more abundant. Caramel is one of my favorite flavors and the combination with the chocolate and fudge reminds me of a frozen candy bar. The marshmallow swirl has a sweet/cream-like flavor. It is not simply marshmallow flavored ice cream, but texturally it is something resembling actual marshmallows, like fluff, and I love it! I wish there was more caramel & marshmallow, but overall I’m impressed. Doughboy approved 😋

“STAFF IS AMAZING!!!“

“We got married at Edinburgh Golf course on 12.31.21. D'Amico was so amazing to work with they went above and beyond to get us anything we wanted for drinks/food and desserts! They made all of our wishes come true and we got so many compliments on our food! Diane Nichols was our Catering manager and she was a dream to work with. She worked tirelessly for us to make our day beyond perfect. We couldn't have asked for a better catering team!“
