They helped us plan the perfect menu of small bites, while taking in our feedback about our guests. Delivery, setup and takedown was perfectly on time and Nicole was a pleasure to talk with and work with! The food from Chowgirls is phenomenal! The whole agency was raving and asking where it was from - we even had a couple of people want to use them for their upcoming celebrations! Some highlights for me included: * The hot chocolate tarte was rich and delicious - and it truly was a hot chocolate flavor! * The apple manchego sandwiches were the perfect blend of fall flavors, and everyone was shocked it wasn't a dry sandwich with all the toppings! It was a crowd favorite. * the steak skewers were perfectly cooked and tender, even served cold! * The mezze platter was delicious and filling, with some unique flavors Overall, I would recommend Chowgirls to anyone and would definitely use them again!

There were about 40 people and the surprise was supposed to be at 3:00, but it ended up at about 6:00.

Everyone loved all the food and their fun, personal, excellent service. You cant miss with Food Ecstasy.

Had to find a reliable caterer in the bustling metropolis that is St. Cloud, MN where I had a…read moreclient running a 2-week long event. They required a catered lunch every day of their event and asked for quite a few dietary restrictions. I am always hesitant and nervous to try new caterers, but Betty took excellent care of my needs. Food Ecstasy made two deliveries per day - one in the morning and one at lunchtime and covered all food and refreshments for my group. I spoke with Betty one afternoon for about 20 minutes and I knew it would be smooth sailing from there. I told her my budget, my needs and what the client requested and she handled it all flawlessly. I received great feedback from the food and I appreciate that Betty took charge and made my job A LOT easier for this event so I could focus on other things I needed to do. My go-to if we are ever back in town.

Donella went through the menu options with me, made suggestions and was very flexible and helpful. We had some food allergies, a couple vegetarians and ages ranging from 24 to 81.

I highly recommend Jules for your next event!

I was helped by her right away, and listened to her recommendations for food. I'm happy I did! In between her busy tasks, we were able to have a (at least for me anyways) a pleasant conversation. She checked with me to see how the food was, and consistently made sure I was enjoying my time. 12/10 I would like to add, there was other staff that would ask to see how I was doing. Super thoughtful, professional, and relaxed. Atmosphere is warm and inviting. Most of the atmosphere though comes from the staff. My wrap was delicious. I enjoyed the flavor of the brisket mixed with the veggies and pineapple. It was refreshing. I will be coming back. Over all, 10.25/10.

When you consume wings, you're going to get dirty. There's no getting around messy fingers. Lily's…read morehas the answer for that. Wet wipes, right there at the table, in the napkin dispenser. It's little things like that that sets Lily's Wings, Burgers, and Things apart. They stand heads and shoulders above the competition. This small, local, independent eatery is located in a small strip mall adjacent to a gas station and Subway along Northway Drive not far from the YMCA, the Whitney Senior Center and soccer fields, and all of the medical offices located in the vicinity. Lily's serves large bone-in wings, boneless wings, drumsticks, country-style breaded chicken tenders, angus or bison burgers, fish sandwiches, commercial fries, handcut fresh french fries, onion rings, jalapeno poppers, cheese curds, and more. If you don't care for fries, they have homemade cole slaw. What's nice is that there's such a variety. Along with the wings, you can choose from various homemade sauces that range from fruity to spicy, depending upon what you like. I tried the teriyaki sauce with my boneless wing combo and really liked it. It has a kick at the end, but wasn't mouth-on-fire hot. The hand cut, fresh french fries are excellent - among the best I've had in the area. They were perfectly cooked served with homemade ranch dressing. I was given a generous portion of fries to go with my combo, which featured 11 boneless wings. You can sample the sauces before you decide on which one you want to go with your wings. The restaurant is kept clean, and the server/cashier was very helpful to this newbie customer. I've also had a hamburger here - the black and blue. It was done to order (medium well). The bun was soft and delicious, the hamburger was juicy and flavorful, and the toppings (red onion, lettuce and tomato) were fresh. My only complaint, and it's a small one, was that the previous customer had left some sauce residue on the table. There wasn't a lot, and I'm sure it's easy to do at a place like this - where the sauce is the boss - but they may want to check the tables more frequently to make sure they're wiped after each customer. On the downside, it's often the case that they are understaffed. Sometimes, this means that customers up front aren't getting attention because the person is in the back tending to cooking. There really should be more staff on duty or they're going to lose business. On the plus side, each meal is made fresh to order, so that sometimes means waiting a bit for your food. There are a couple of televisions here so you can watch the news or a game. Also, the Lily's food truck ensures that you can enjoy their food when you're out and about. The food truck is frequently seen in downtown St. Cloud, especially in warmer months. You can also order online, and they'll have the order ready for pickup when you get there. It's all these touches that make Lily's a restaurant worth visiting and revisiting. I still can't get over the wet wipes. Only a true wing place would have these, instead of dry napkins. It's touches like that that make Lily's a special place.

The food is decent but it doesn't mean much when it cuts into the time you earn for lunch. The owners wife is very kind but he is not. Makes the clientele feel like we are in the wrong for waiting. Or being dissatisfied with his service. When you know what time lunch is served every week you think you would be able to prep better especially after over a year of doing so. Save your time and Money and cater elsewhere.

Worked with Vannessa to book the wedding venue. Everything went great, until we gave them a deposit…read morefor a down payment. She told my wife and I that she would be taking care of a hotel block of rooms. We stressed how important it was to us to have the majority of guests stay in the hotel because 90% were traveling from out of town. She smiled and said that was no problem. We gave her a check for a deposit that night. A few months later we found out the hotel is booked for our wedding date. At this time we already had all of our vendors lined up and the date was not flexible anymore. They blocked off enough rooms for the wedding party and 2 more rooms. I began to talk with the general manager "Charlie" and he just blatantly lied to us telling us that Vannessa escorted us to the hotel front desk and we discussed room reservations with that person. This never happened. When I questioned him that this ever happened he emailed me a contract that was wrote up between the hotel and my wife and I. The problem was that he had the wrong date on the contract. We meet with Vannessa in the evening of 21st and Charlie provided us with a contract that was dated the 22nd. After I questioned him about this he said he didn't need to answer any more of my questions because he answered them all already. I think the real reason he stopped talking to me was because I informed him we were switching venues. DO NOT BOOK A VENUE HERE, THEY WILL LIE DIRECTLY TO YOUR FACE. FOR BEING A CATERING AND EVENT PLANNING COMPANY THEY DO NOT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE DOING.
