“I have used Catering by Design and Pantry for two corporate events now, and both experiences have been absolutely flawless! The new owner, Rachel, has only been at the helm for six months, but she’s already made incredible updates to an already wonderful business. She worked closely with me to create custom menus that fit exactly what we needed, all at a very competitive price — and the food was beyond delicious! Not only are their catered events top-notch, but my husband and I can’t stop raving about the fresh-to-go meals and desserts in the Pantry. Everything is high-quality, fresh, and clearly made with care. If you haven’t stopped by yet, do yourself a favor and go check them out today — you won’t regret it!”

“We are so thankful for Pinnacle Catering and everything they did to help make our wedding day truly amazing! Communication throughout the entire planning process was excellent - timely, clear, and professional. The team was always helpful and easy to work with, which made everything so much less stressful. As for the food… our guests raved about it! We served fettuccine Alfredo with chicken, penne with marinara and meatballs, Caesar salad, steamed broccoli, and breadsticks. Everything was absolutely delicious and so well-prepared. Multiple guests even reached out to me after the wedding asking where the food was from because they loved it so much! Our display cake was beautifully done based on an inspiration photo I sent - it was truly a copy-and-paste match, both stunning and delicious. For our guest cake flavors, we chose strawberry cream, raspberry chocolate, chocolate mint, and vanilla. Guests couldn’t stop talking about how good the cake was - many of them went back for second (and even third!) servings! A special shoutout to Taylor, who supported us throughout the entire planning process. She was responsive, organized, and incredibly kind - we always felt like we were in good hands, and she truly helped bring our vision to life. We are beyond grateful to the entire team at Pinnacle Catering. Their food, service, and attention to detail played such a huge role in making our day unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend”

“Great food, especially the Firecracker Tofu! This is my favorite lunch takeout place, and I even like Shakopee’s Leann Chin even over most others, in part due to great service, for which I must give a shoutout to Victor, who is always polite and cheerful.”
