Food was AMAZING. Our guests complimented a lot about it being the best food they've had at the wedding! It tasted fresh and they were great with communication!
Doorstep Diner catered our annual church event in February in (Lincoln, NE ~ 100 attendees ~ buffet of heavy hors d'oeuvres). I had nothing but rave reviews. (We will use them again next year)! They were so good that I used them for an event with my sorority in March and had more of the same - totally different menu, delivered a hot buffet (Ashland, NE ~ 25 attendees) and everyone was impressed. HIGHLY recommend!

Thank you so much for your review! We were honored to serve at both of your events :)
Doorstep Diner was hands down one of the best decision we made for our wedding. The process was simple and we were guided every step of the way. There was so much variety to choose from as far as food options, they also offered customization if we wanted to do something different. The service was wonderful at our wedding, and all our guest RAVED about the food! They even went above and beyond with a few separate meals for our friends with allergies and who were Vegan, this really warmed our hearts as well as those guests! As the bride and groom we were also served our meals without having to go through the buffet line, this was a nice and sweet added gesture they did to make the night wonderful. Doorstep really does go above and beyond to make their clients feel like royalty on their big days.

Bailey, thank you soooo much for your review! We loved serving you and your guests
Any questions?
We hired Doorstep Diner to cater our wedding and they were fantastic! A lot of guests commented on how delicious the food was, especially the pesto chicken. They were very affordable and Laurie, the owner, was easy to work with. We even asked the staff at the wedding if they could put some water pitchers and glasses on the tables and they did! Would highly recommend this company!

awwww thank you Megan!!!!!
Laurie was fabulous to work with! She was very knowledgeable of our venue, the best setup, and provided great advice.
We used Doorstep to cater our wedding, and everything was perfect! So many of our guests raved about how good the smoked macaroni and cheese tasted!! They also were able to make an adjustment to our guest count later than we thought would be acceptable! Laurie and her team were super helpful, friendly, professional, and very fair priced for what we had catered!
Just what we needed for our wedding rehearsal dinner! Perfect size for 25-30 people to eat and mingle. Beautiful space. Especially loved the chandeliers, very nice touch. The host was very friendly and accommodating. We were able to bring our own alcoholic beverages, and he didn't mind us storing them in his fridge as well. The food was very good as well.

Jena, thank you so much for your kind words! We were honored to serve you and your guests!
Laurie and her team were a dream to work with for our wedding food. Doorstep Diner has a wide variety of options to chose from at a great price point. Not only was it 5 star food but 5 star service at the wedding. We were on time for everything and had amazing feedback that everyone enjoyed the food. I highly recommend Doorstep Diner for any catering needs and especially if you need a caterer for your wedding! Thanks Laurie and Doorstep Diner for all your hard work into making our wedding day a success ❤️

awwww thank you so much for your kind words! It was our honor to serve you and your guests :)
Doorstep Diner Catering was AMAZING to work with! They were so friendly and helpful throughout the wedding planning process, answering every question I came up with and helping along the way. They had an amazing variety of entrees to choose from, as well as accommodated to our guests who were either allergic to certain things or were children who had a separate dish. The food tasted incredible! We got so many compliments on the flavor and quality of the food and it was one of our favorite things about our wedding. They went above and beyond by serving all guests, which is incredible for the buffet dinner we had, cut our cake for us, and provided extra servers to tend to water and tea glasses. We are so glad we chose Doorstep Diner for our wedding!
Doorstep Diner was amazing for our wedding! We had a theme wedding (rockabilly), and their entire staff dressed for the occasion! Laurie went above and beyond for us with our menu, and signage. The food was excellent. We've gotten so many compliments on the meal. 10/10 would use them again.
Our wedding was BIG and Doorstep Diner rose to the challenge of not only feeding 400 people, but feeding them DELICIOUS food at a price that could beat nearly everyone in the area. From start to finish, Jeff and Laurie were positive, easy to communicate with, and very flexible. We chose the creamy pesto chicken, mashed potatoes and glazed carrots for our meal, although we also LOVED sampling the teriyaki beef as well. We also chose salmon & cucumber skewers, Andouille and Shrimp Skewers and fruit skewers for our appetizer hour. From set up to tear down, everything went smoothly at our venue and the amount of food prepared was nearly perfect. People continually complimented the food throughout the evening, and we are still hearing about how great it was a month later! All in all, if you care about having top-notch food at your wedding and caterers you can trust, you should get in touch with Doorstep Diner.

Alyssa your wedding rocked! We had so much fun serving your guests!
From my first contact with Doorstep Diner Catering, all the way thru, they have been so helpful and easy to work with. The fact that they were willing to help me out when I thought I’d try doing it myself shows the quality of people they are. When I contacted them again with a modest budget they helped me find wonderful options. The food was great and our guests were very happy. I recommend their pulled pork with huli huli Hawaiian sauce. I can’t thank them enough! Give them a try, you won’t be disappointed.

Thanks Kimberly! You were so much fun to work with and we love the Honey bears! In fact we'd like to get some Honey from your Honey for our kitchen!
Doorstep Diner Catering catered our wedding and it was amazing! Jeff and Laurie were so easy to work with - they helped us create the perfect menu, ordered our linens for us, set everything up and served our guests. The food was amazing, especially the Creamy Chicken Pesto! Thanks for making my day perfect!
