Smokin G's is an excellent catering service to work with. Every month they serve over 50…read moreindividuals at my organization. They are friendly, prompt, and SO FAIR with their prices. Their brisket and cheesy potatoes are famous, but I would suggest trying out their other options, too! They have a phenomenal grilled pork chop and their almond green beans are excellent. If I lived in Marshalltown, I would recommend them to everyone there, unfortunately I only travel their for work but every time I do, I am more than satisfied with their service and the quality of the meals they serve. This catering business is truly a business I feel good supporting.

Z Marie's is Home Cooked Meals To Go! She posts her menu on her facebook page, sometimes for the…read moremonth, sometimes week to week. Typically meals are on Mondays and Wednesdays. I am a newbie, so I am just learning all about what she does. There are different size options you may order from her menu, single size, medium size and family size. I got started on a freezer meal sale she had and I was instantly hooked. I bought a bacon cheeseburger meatloaf for my husband that he ate on all week (and loved!), some breakfast scrambles and individual servings of cheesy chicken broccoli quinoa. I instantly grabbed January's menu and was salivating at all the options. My husband likes more hamburger items, so we ordered a medium sized tator tot casserole. We requested our pick up time and when I got it, it was hot and ready to go with a family sized side salad. Again, a favorite of my husband's. I have also had her frosted sugar cookies at other events and they are tasty too. Not too sweet and oh so good! This is a unique and great service/business for our community. Hot, home cooked meals to go. Perfect for busy families, older folks, single folks, really, anyone. You don't have to get dressed up to go out and you can have a great tasting meal at home without the dishes or mess.

We ordered sandwiches & she recommended adding some wraps for visual interest; Plus, they were on an assortment of different breads, including croissants. Loved that she delivered (& gave us an approximate time frame), used the cutest white large salad bowls with scalloped edges, & left a number for us to call when WE were ready for her to pick up her serving items. I also really appreciated the cute list of food she provided for the display. The broccoli/cauliflower salad we ordered was one of the most popular, everyone raved about it & it was the 1st to be gone. We only ordered 50 servings of it & wished we had more. But, all the food was great! She also made 2 different kinds of brownies & 3 types of cookies for dessert. Support this great Marshalltown small business!

Anyway, I was able to purchase three bottles of water before moving on to the snack-based machine. I'm gluten free (wheat gives me a stomach ache) so I was really happy to see a Health Bar. Chocolate. Toffee. English? Awesome. I put in my $1.25 (see exhibit 1 photo below for price corroboration) and pressed 5-0. The display (as evidenced in photo 2) demanded an additional $.50. And I was out of change, loose or otherwise. A moment of non-rest. Until I realized I could hit the cancel button, get my change back and use my iPhone -- moments later, snack in hand. Could have been five stars Hartford Rest Area. Sorry, got to keep you honest.
