Caterers near Mendota Heights

“-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.“

Emily was wonderful to work with leading up to the big day, and our team thoroughly enjoyed working with Joe and his team. Highly recommend!“

“Our recent HOMESTYLE takeaway Italian Night dinner was simply 5 star- the Chicken Marsala and Garlic Mashed Potatoes were superb. The roasted broccoli rabe with lemon and red pepper was also a stand out. Thanks to Create for a wonderful evening!“

“Thank you Hire A Host for an amazing wedding experience. We hired them to set up, maintain and clean up our wedding buffet and they did an amazing job. They even picked up our food from the restaurant, which was a huge help. Communication was great from both Mara and Gail. The staff showed up with smiles on their faces and did a great job of having everything run smoothly. They were right there to clear out any dishes or assist in any way. Would happily work with them again.“

“Worked with Apple Spice Catering to provide a lunch for over 100 people. They were amazing to work with and everyone loved the food. Highly recommend!“

“My husband and I got married here in June 2023, and had a fantastic experience! We really had the perfect wedding. ALL of the credit for our amazing wedding goes to David, the site coordinator, who was incredibly helpful at every step of the process. Below are a couple of highlights from the day: The food was AMAZING! At our wedding, we had salmon and beef, and it was so tasty! All our guests were talking about how much they enjoyed the food. I know it can be difficult to prepare food for a large amount of people, but they really exceeded all my expectations! The staff at summit manor and all the preferred vendors (provided upon booking with Summit Manor) were really great. Very easy to work with, and they all seemed to be familiar with how events are run at Summit Manor. The whole day ran very smoothly, and went off without a single hitch! The venue is VERY beautiful and unique. It was really great that the entire venue was usable to our guests (the basement area speakeasy, the main floor, upstairs areas, and patio/outdoor areas). If you are getting married, or looking for a venue to host an event, I would HIGHLY recommend you check out Summit Manor!“

“I ordered 50 box lunches for an outdoor funeral luncheon. Not only were they brought to Zimmerman, MN for $25, everyone said they were the best box lunch they had ever had! They were lovely to work with, and the food was delicious!“

“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 truly can’t name a better restaurant in the twin cities. The food is amazing of course but the customer service knocks it out of the park for me every time. Thank you thank you thank you“

“This catering company is superb! They served a reception after my husband's funeral. The food was excellent and the service impeccable and very professional. The company - Molly - was so helpful and easy to work with and made the whole experience so trouble-free. I was able to focus on our family and friends for a true Celebration of Life at the Cathedral of St. Paul. Living in New Hampshire, I took a chance with this company and am so appreciative of the outcome! Shelly Bakke - the main server we worked with - was amazing. I heartily recommend Creative Catering by Molly!“

“CKC foods was delicious at our May 31st wedding! They were prompt to arrive on time and the food was hot and delish at dinner! CKC offered the best food for the best price we could find. Working with Nagil and the CKC team was overall pretty smooth, however it is necessary that you as the customer are direct and inquisitive about the details of silverware, drinks, guest count updates, etc. Nagil is prompt to respond and we really enjoyed our wedding dinner!“

“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!!!!“

MHC Culinary Group delivers hospitality from the heart with vendors, employees, and guests.Headwaters Cafe is managed by MHC Culinary Group and located in the Kellogg lobby. Headwaters Cafe is the perfect place for lunch. They have a wide variety and daily specials. Highly recommend it!“

“We visited both Cosetta's Market and Cosetta's Eventi. All the staff at the market were friendly and very helpful, I'd say going above and beyond. We wanted a specific creamy chicken pesto dish that was in the Market at one point, but not at the time we were there (found out later it is a seasonal dish). The staff at the Market helped me work with the Eventi center to order from their menu. The Chef at Eventi was amazing, friendly, and gave us a wonderful history of Eventi. He's worked there many, many years and you can tell he LOVES his job. I took home the individual items to create a home made pizza (crust, sauce, pepperoni, sausage, and cheese). It turned out AMAZING...just as if we were there! The atmosphere of the market, bakery, and restaurant was fun and welcoming. I highly recommend taking a stroll through the place and enjoy some great authentic Italian food. We will be back!“

“Highly recommend! My sister had Kane's cater her December wedding. The food, service, and staff were great - highly recommend! 5/5“

“we walked in not knowing what kind of restaurant this was because it was the closest one to us and we didn’t know what to expect, but it was great! we’ve never had ethiopian food before and i think they could tell, the guy at the front counter gave us a sambusa to sample which was super super nice of him. we ended up getting fries, and chicken chipati, and a mango arizona tea which cost $27. it was plenty of food for the both of us so it was ~$13.50/person. great service, nice small, quiet dining area and great food! would recommend“

“Just wanted to put a review out there for your amazing pizza and service. We stopped Sunday had carryout then brought across the street to Fair State! (we made a couple people jealous and hungry!) the pizza was amazing and the gentleman (owner?) and his son working were very kind! Thank you.. the only regret was we forgot to stop back and grab some frozen ones to take back to Rochester! 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟“

“We have used Mintahoe for several years to cater our Work Christmas party. They do an amazing job and the food was fantastic. This year we had the Parmesan Chicken, it was exceptional. Looking forward to using their services next year. Thanks Again Jack and Carol!!“

“First time here! Service was great. Our meal was delicious. Tender, flavorful brisket, smoked wings were top-notch. Loved the pickled cucumbers and onions. We will be back!“

“If you're just another trucker with points on your license then you end up doing broker loads and end up with situations I see complaints about on here. It depends on who you are working for because I delivered to a company that delivers here twice a week I don't have to touch a thing and I'm in and out of there with no problems. Because the company I work for doesn't work if you're not one of those super truckers. Take care of your license and your license will take care of you.
For example right now I'm delivering here and I got here yesterday around lunch time and they backed me into DOC number two then this morning they tell me they want the other stuff from the same shipper first and then another truck as well. But my company pays me hourly from 5:00 a.m. no having to wait 2 hours before getting paid and they have me sitting here all day I'm getting paid anyway. And when it comes to unloading all I do is use their electric jack to run the stuff off and put it inside. So I'm in no rush I get paid Mi and I get paid hourly with no having to give anyone 2 hours for free. And the shipper charges them for all the time that I'm here.“

“Delicious tamales, great portion size, variety of flavors from sweet to savory“

“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.“

“Hands down one of the best buffets I’ve ever been to! Tinucci’s in Minnesota completely exceeded my expectations. From the perfectly cooked fish and juicy chicken to a fresh variety of nine different salads and a dessert table that felt like a dream—everything was incredible. But the true star? The prime rib. And yes, I got the coveted end slice—tender, flavorful, and cooked to perfection. The service was phenomenal—warm, friendly, and attentive from start to finish. What made it even more special? The owner's grandson was there, helping out and greeting guests with genuine kindness. It’s clear that Tinucci’s is more than a restaurant—it’s a place built on family tradition, pride, and community. This family-owned gem has been serving Minnesotans for over 70 years, and you can feel that legacy in every detail—from the food to the service to the atmosphere. I never would’ve discovered this hidden treasure if I hadn’t followed the Hidden Places in MN page, and I’m so glad I took the chance to venture out. If you haven’t been to Tinucci’s—go. You’ll leave full, happy, and already planning your next visit.“

“I hired Chef Billy to cook my Christmas Eve dinnner for myself and 12 other friends and family, everything was 100% wonderful and would strongly suggest using his company. I would do again and again. thank you Billy“

“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!“

“Our company uses CC whenever we can. We have been impressed with the value, taste and exceptional customer service! We highly recommend!“

“The Coop catered my husband's funeral luncheon. very kind and professional to work with. The food was so good; we had a lot on comments on it. Highly recommend.“

“They were a hit at our event! 100% Recommend“

“The venue and staff were incredibly professional, organized, and helpful from start to finish. I planned my wedding from another state, which can be overwhelming, but Will made the process smooth by guiding me through every step and keeping me on track with clear communication and organization.

The food was absolutely fantastic. Many of our guests commented on the generous portions and amazing flavor, my husband and I were actually able to sit down and enjoy the meal. The team was also very accommodating with dietary restrictions and flexible in helping us stay within our budget.

The venue itself is stunning, with high ceilings and exposed brick that create a timeless, elegant atmosphere.

The only challenge we experienced was during the unloading process. Since we brought in many of our own items, unloading had to be done directly on the street, which was hectic and involved stopping traffic and dealing with frustrated drivers. This could be difficult for couples doing a lot of DIY decor, though it likely wouldn’t be an issue if vendors are handling setup and breakdown.

Aside from this logistical challenge, we had an overall wonderful experience.“

“My human gets out of the car and goes to the truck. She comes back with a plastic disk and then we sit there for a while. The disk buzzes and flashes and the my human goes back to the truck and comes back with the best food ever. I don’t get to eat the goat tacos because they give me the midnight poops but the chicken quesadilla is the best.“

“Stopped here after dropping someone off at the airport for breakfast. It is inside an office building, but quite a lot of space including shuffleboard and foosball games. We had the vegan breakfast burrito and vegan breakfast sandwich. The sandwich was ok, but the burrito was better. Service was fast. Vegan options were clearly marked on their menu. Would stop by here again.“
