The staff was very friendly and professional. They worked with all of the food allergies present (peanut/treenut, gluten, dairy, and egg) with full confidence and options so everyone had a safe salad, meal, AND dessert! Anyone that has food allergies, or is close to someone that does, understands how amazing and comforting this is. Lisa answered all of our questions, and worked with our schedule to set up tastings (have I mentioned that the food was AWESOME?!). Deciding what our main courses were going to be was the most difficult part of or journey with them, simply because everything we tasted was wonderful. They are located in the Holiday Inn in downtown Rock Island, and serve at both the hotel and offsite (ours was offsite, but our tastings were in the hotel and their meeting and gathering spaces were all very nice and freshly renovated). Long story short, work with Main Event! I promise you won't be disappointed in their excellent food and service, and VERY reasonable prices!

The entire experience was pleasant and easy to navigate too. I filled out a form with options of what I wanted, the number of people, day, time, location and form of delivery method. I received a call same day to go over the quote and was very happy with the pricing. The day prior I also received a call to confirm my order. On delivery day the company was prompt arriving a few minutes early and everything was fresh and hot too. We had the chicken, brisket, mac and cheese, pasta salad no pepperoni, green beans, and brownies. Everything was so delicious and it came with bread rolls too. The bbq sauces we had were amazing too although I don't remember which sauces. I will highly recommend them for your catering events and plan to use the again.

William knows his way around an industrial kitchen, he found the warmer and stored our extra trays to keep them warm.  All the trays were labeled perfectly so that we could easily replace the covers.  We had enough food left over to donate to the community center where our event was held.  When William called to follow up after the weekend, he was happy to hear that we'd done so, his business also donates food.  If you have an event in the Quad Cities and you're seeking good BBQ and southern comfort food, I recommend Strickly Southern Catering.  Without a doubt, 5-Stars!

Naomi's "Take it & Bake it" meals made life so much easier for us. We ordered multiple times when…read moreour son was young, and I was juggling night classes. Most meals needed to be refrigerated for 24 hours before cooking. They offer a variety of options to suit your needs (2-serving, 3-serving, 6-serving sizes and a gluten-free choice). Each month, there's a new selection of around 15 meals. You can mix and match however you'd like--selecting different meals or multiple portions of your favorites. Pickup locations are available in North Liberty and Kathy's Pies in Cedar Rapids. Every meal arrives frozen with cooking instructions. We rarely have leftovers, but it's still more cost-effective than dining out. I appreciate that there's no subscription requirement, though you do need to order a few weeks in advance since spots fill up quickly. My husband likes to add extra seasoning to some meals for a bit more heat. I wish they offered a wider selection of non-dairy meals for those who are lactose intolerant. This is an excellent option for busy families, new parents, elderly individuals, those recovering from illness or surgery, or anyone wanting to supplement/change up their meal routine. It also makes a great gift for new parents.
