Reviews of Chowgirls Killer Catering (Catering)

Madeline Michaud

Chowgirls recently catered a corporate anniversary event for my organization. They were professional, easy to work with, and the food was incredible. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a stellar and memorable catering experience!

We booked Chowgirls two weeks before a very important corporate event. They were extremely attentive and flexible when building the menu. They were consistently responsive before, during, and after the event. I try to operate with a high level of execellence, and Chowgirls always seemed to be 2 steps ahead of me (which is not an easy task). Our particular menu had unique allergy considerations and Chowgirls managed to serve a spread that did not compromise. The ingredients were creative, fresh, and decadent. The onsite staff was professional, fun, and extremely attentive and flexible. I cannot wait to host another event so I can book Chowgirls again just to see what other amazing dishes they come up with.

I think they did Brian and Emma's Wedding in 2011. Best wedding food I ever had. Now if someone could just confirm it was this company. Was a pretty memorable catering company name and wedding so I think I got it right.

I used Chowgirls for my wedding catering one year ago, and we loved the experience from start to finish. Incredibly professional, fun people. They were accommodating and adventurous for us, completely customizing the menu to my husband's and my tastes. They were beyond helpful and organized, which, for our mostly DIY wedding, was a godsend. The Green Goddess salad. Boom. It's awesome.

Outstanding customer service with great communication and very friendly staff. Aurora worked with us and cared a great deal about our vision and making that a reality. And a very creative chef that can do just about anything you dream up. Staff at our wedding was prompt and well organized, and the execution was professional.

BEST CATERING HANDS DOWN. Where to begin - we would give Chowgirls 10 stars if we could! They were amazing from start to finish. We had a tight budget and a short notice wedding; although Chowgirls was initially out of our price range, they really worked with us to make it as affordable as possible. We specifically worked one-on -one with Meghan, who was just the most personable, genuine, professional and on the ball point person for our catering needs leading up to the wedding. We went for a tasting - it was really hard to choose which dishes we wanted, because all of them were delicious (not to mention locally sourced)! There was something on the menu for all of our guests, dietary restrictions included. Our final menu choice was sliders, roasted potatoes, simple salad, fruit and polenta. Our guests raved about the food. Day of the wedding, our catering coordinator Rachel was just so kind, warm, friendly and attentive to our needs. The staff had a smile on their faces the whole time, kept the place tidy by promptly removing dishes of guests that were done, filling up water glasses before they emptied, keeping food supply filled, and all the other things you could ask for in a catering service. The bartender was also very kind and knew his stuff. They even packed up the food in neat boxes, labeled them and even signed each box with "love, Chowgirls" - it's the little details that make all the difference! They felt like family during this process (yet also very professional); just the way the spoke to us, checked in with us and were sensitive to our situation made us feel so comfortable. We love Chowgirls and would recommend to everyone!

Chowgirls catered my wedding last month. After our initial contact, it took awhile to receive a proposal back, but they'd already prefaced our communication by letting us know they had a lot coming up during that time. Once we got the proposal, it was perfect anyway and required no further nitpicking. The company came highly recommended by many acquaintances (including friends who work in the event planning and catering industries) and Chowgirls is obviously very busy, so: be smart, book well in advance, and be patient. They're not "disrespecting" you by taking time on your proposal or not being at your immediate beck and call. Chowgirls is not "cheap" or bare-bones. Neither is it excessively priced, as far as catering goes. The food is delicious, their business values green, sustainable, local ingredients and practices, and their service at the event itself was flawless. Our guests loved the food and the attending staff made dinner/clean-up easy and stress-free. We were very happy with what we got for the price we paid. Five stars, absolutely recommend.

I would give Chowgirls Catering my highest recommendation. I organized an event for 180 and working with Chowgirls was an absolutely wonderful experience. From the moment I expressed interest in working with Chowgirls, Eleni took care of all the details. She responded to calls and emails promptly, had great suggestions, and worked with my limited budget. If you're thinking of commissioning Chowgirls for your catering needs, I would suggest scheduling a tasting. The Chowgirls office is a gorgeous open space filled with art in the heart of Northeast Minneapolis. You're able to select a number of items off the menu - definitely try the beer cheese! - and everything is delicious. Delivery day-of was punctual and the men were super friendly. I ordered box lunches and they were labeled and easy to set up. Reducing the impact on the environment is an important part of Chowgirls' mission, so mostly everything was compostable/recyclable. Additionally, Chowgirls provides tons of options for those who suffer from food allergies and intolerances. There were definitely no complaints among attendees. I'm super thankful to have had such a wonderful catering experience and look forward to working with Chowgirls again!

I eat from all the catering vendors in town on a fairly regular basis. Chowgirls is among the best I have ever had. What is really impressive is that it is not a one time experience. Every time I have their catering it is diffrent and it is excellent. I can not say enough about how fresh and flavorful it always is.

They Catered my wedding in 2008, Food was cold, very disappointing. Wouldn't use them again for anything. I can't say about them now, but in 2008, it was bad.

Matt Mauer

We had Chowgirls cater our wedding, and the food was all excellent! If you are forced to use them, or if you can choose to use them, either way you are in good hands! Tasting experience was super helpful and really good!

Chowgirls provided the lunch on the day of my mother’s funeral. We met at their office prior to the day, and they were welcoming and professional. The food was absolutely delicious, and I think my mother would have loved it. We heard from others it was the best catered food they’d had. I wish we’d gone with Chowgirls for our wedding, but I’m so glad we had them when we said “goodbye” to my mother. I highly recommend the sweet potato salad, macaroons, and roasted veggies! They were also careful to accommodate special dietary requirements. We’ll use them again whenever we need a caterer!

Best service, food and experience! I use Chowgirls to cater big meetings at my office job and I always recommend them to the couples whose weddings I photograph. They're food is innovative, fresh and unique! It's a breath of fresh air compared to other caterers, and I always look forward to having them. Everyone gets so excited for their food! They have prompt, clear communication, always have the food ready on time, and it is a pleasure working with their team.

Excellent food, friendly and polite staff, overall exemplary. We will use the Chowgirls again! Thank you for the fantastic party. Everyone loved it and we didn't have to cook a thing. You are now our go-to. Thank you so much!

Either this week is not a good week, but their person on the phone are rude, not helpful. We wanted to cater in a lunch for 25 people and told us we were too small, they have minimums. Too bad, we are obly a couple blocks away from them, I guess they only want corporate business. Menu looks good but their customer service is a -1 with 10 being high!

Beth B

Fantastic! Highly recommended!
