McElroy's Catering

I will start by saying that the food was very good! Also very competitively priced. I have to take off stars though, because, at least 4 tables were not served the full meal. The buffet ran out of 3 of our items. And we had 15 no shows that were added into our headcount. We were not issued an apology, as I guess we were told guests took more than they should have. But I don't see how we can monitor that? I thought that would be the caterers job. I am not saying I don't recommend them, but I would for sure make it clear that you will have enough food for all guests!

We recently used McElroy's catering for our daughters wedding May 5, 2017. We found out about them at a bridal expo in Cedar Rapids in 2016. Hands down they had the best food samples at the bridal expo so we decided to use them for the wedding. They totally met all of our expectations and then some. They were courteous when we called with questions, made suggestions if we were unsure about something, were very reasonable for per plate costs and the day of the wedding they went above and beyond with customer service. We had repeated comments from our guests that it was hands down some of "THE best food" at a wedding they had ever had. Can't thank the staff at McElroys enough for helping make the wedding day for our daughter and new son-in-law even more special. Would HIGHLY recommend this catering company!! :-)

The food was amazing, chicken cordon blue and ham, spring salad, greenbean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy and homemade roll. Wow, everyone said how great it was. Thank you. Service was the best ever, so glad we chose you.

The food was fantastic and the customer service could not have been better! Very affordable. Great communication. Gary, John and all catering staff went above and beyond to meet and exceed all expectations. Would highly recommend!

The food was excellent and the service was good as well. Their response to a problem we had was the ONLY thing that made me give them a low score, but it feel it is significant. There was a mixup on their end and instead of the nicer, more expensive place settings we ordered they brought the cheap styrofoam ones with plastic knives and forks. This made our reception look more like a picnic than a formal dinner. We brought up the issue and they told us they would make a revised bill. When we got the bill they only changed the price of the settings and did not compensate anything else (they were very thankful that we didn't make an issue out of it). We sent an email back right after saying we were a little disappointed that they did not compensate for their mistake and they did not reply for 1 month. When they did reply, they seemed very frustrated by the fact that we were asking for compensation, and were very pushy about getting the payment (after it had taken them a month to reply to us) and only took off $100, stating that they "already took off the difference for the place settings". So, our final revised bill had a reduction of $100, but then they added in $100 for gratuity which wasn't on the bill before. So, as long as there are no mix-ups made for your dinner you will have a great experience.

McElroy's has a wide selection of food options and a variety of options to work with your budget! They are extremely reasonably priced and a huge bang for you buck! Our guests were raving about the food all night and still are! Gary and John were both great to work with and the catering staff were amazing the night of the wedding!

Nicholas Capaldi – NZK Productions We contacted McElroy's Catering via email to cater for us when we were in production for the TV show The Bachelor being filmed in Iowa. They responded quickly and were more than accommodating with the types of meals we requested such as vegan and gluten free meals in addition to more traditional meals. We took a look at their website to come up with some ideas and they took it from there coming up with our menus for the duration of the caterings. The turnaround time was quick as we needed catered meals for 6 days in a row. The food was always on time and kept hot even in the cold temperatures in Iowa at that time. The cost was more than reasonable and the caterers were friendly and cheerful. If you are looking for a caterer with good food at good prices you don't need to look any further than McElroy's Catering.

Wonderful food options and great prices!!
