33 Best Caterers in Minneapolis

“-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.“

“Thank you for your generous support of our recent Sojourner Project fundraiser. The pastries were delicious! We appreciate your support in helping us continue our mission to provide safety, support and hope for those affected by domestic violence in our community.“

“Our team coordinated a wedding with Food Gallery on Sunday, September 4th, 2022. The food was delicious, from appetizers to dessert! The fish tacos were incredible. 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!“

“Vittles catered 30 delicious meals for the nurses on my unit! Thank you!!“

“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!“

“We used ABC Catering for our daughters baptismal luncheon and Ilene was amazing. She brought food to our event beforehand and came to pick up her things afterward and helped pack up the food that we had for leftovers. Our guests were raving about the food and we will definitely be using ABC again! Thank you, Ilene!“

“We used Deco Catering for our wedding and overall had a great experience. The pasta bar was a huge hit—guests loved it, and I really appreciated that they offered gluten-free and vegan options. It came with breadsticks, salad, and protein choices, which made it feel like a complete meal. The cake was delicious, and they also offered a vegan/GF chocolate mousse that was a big success. We added three appetizers (spanakopita, bacon-wrapped dates, and potato bites with dill sour cream), all of which were quickly eaten, plus a late-night pretzel and cheese bar that everyone raved about. Leading up to the day, the company was excellent to work with—very communicative, helpful, and the tasting beforehand was such a fun, reassuring part of the process. They also went above and beyond with setup, arranging linens and folding napkins at no extra charge. That said, I do have some complaints about the day-of service. The staff on-site seemed disorganized: food came out later than planned, there was a lot of confusion around serving the vegan and GF meals, and unfortunately one of our tiramisus was never cut or served despite people asking for it. I couldn’t find anyone to help with it, and I also never got the leftovers back, so it felt like $80 wasted and such a shame because it was so tasty. We also almost didn’t get our cake leftovers returned either—it only happened because I happened to run into an attendant in the parking lot who had them (maybe in one of their cars). Despite those hiccups, the food itself was wonderful, and the planning process was smooth and stress-free. I’d still recommend Deco Catering for their creative menu options and helpful team, but I’d advise couples to be very clear about expectations for the day-of staff to avoid similar issues.“

“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“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!!!!“

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

“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!“

“Richard catered our high school graduation open house brunch event and made it "the" event of the season for everyone! He got rave reviews from all, from the grad and her classmates to grandmas and grandpas. From the time we booked La Vita Espresso, Richard was professional, attentive and incredibly helpful with planning details far beyond the coffee services. (He even helped us find a source for personalized napkins!) He was on time, great at communications, weathered a hot day (plenty of iced coffee drinks!), and was efficient and so attentive. Thanks for all you did to make our event memorable, special and absolutely perfect!“

“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!“

“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 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.“

“I have used PFS for many years and am always thrilled with the food. We've hosted lunches for 5 people and events for over 150 people. Just did a company picnic and the employees raved about the food. The staff is great to work with, too. Thanks, PFS, for making all our events memorable with the best food!“

“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 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.“

“Timely delicious & a great atmosphere. The staff is wonderful and the Chef JoJo knows how to add a special touch to every meal.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“This place has really gone down hill use to love this place but this year and especially today shows me it’s time to find other whole sale vendors so I went to buy ice cream today and and was rushed to decide even though I was actually buying ice cream and not just wasting time I had a total of over 200 but wanted to spend 350 usually im in and out cause i know what sells and what doesn’t but lately it’s hard because every time i come to big bells they are always out of the ice cream I get so today like this whole year he was out of what I needed so I thought let me try new stuff but was unable to because I was being rushed by the manager of all people the worst part is his drivers always have everything he says he’s out of so that lets me know out means my drivers get that witch mess up money for those who don’t work for him just rude and Ridiculous hope they really get their stuff together (((( it’s a new year updated review)))) this place is back to being what we love great ice cream great price great service no rushing and I love the t shirts we get for free this will always be my ice cream guy“

“We had Crave do another one of our yearly April Gala + Award Shows. This year they did our open bar at Union Depot's Red Cap Room in St. Paul. They were EXCELLENT! The bartenders were personable and professional. They provided a signature cocktail for our event that was great. Having them at our event was exactly what we were looking for and they executed it perfectly. Five Stars.“

“All I need and more! This apartment fits my lifestyle well. Packages safely delivered to my door by management, underground parking with EV charging, and great location. Management and maintenance are very friendly, and way better than my past experiences. I was even able to get immediate help the day after Thanksgiving. The apartment layout is very functional, and amenities are great! So far, so good with my experience here!“
