They could not have been more professional, courteous and resourceful. Everything was done beautifully and they somehow managed to do it all in a very small space while flying under the radar. Thank you Danica and colleague. You made the evening wonderful. Chowgirls is expensive but for me it was absolutely worth it.

We used Chowgirls Catering for our agency holiday party this week and they were an absolute hit!…read more From planning to execution, the staff was wonderful and helpful. 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!

Brisket was a bit dry, beans were good but a bit watery, and Mac and cheese wasn't real creamy, but burnt ends alone make it all worth it. Service was great as our server was attentive and made sure we were well taken care of, and the restaurant itself is really nice, pretty, and clean on the inside. I would highly recommend this place to anyone craving solid BBQ in the twin cities.

This was the worst BBQ food we have ever tasted! Not sure what the pale gray brisket even was but…read moreit tasted bland with way too much gristle. Not even the watered down BBQ sauce could make it edible. Then the 4-bean side was mixed with old disgusting shreds of mystery meat which led to stomach cramps that night. Will not be back!!

Daniel was easy to work with, they showed up early to set up and the food was amazing. Matt and Daniel interacted with the customers as they had a lot of questions and were interested in seeing the pig. The food was set up nicely in a rustic country kind of vibe. They kept the food fresh and hot during the event and then left the extras. 5 star service and food for sure!

Could not be happier, the staff was excellent the food was even better…read more Kudos!! thank you so much Chuckwagon. All I heard from my 160 guests at the wedding I just hosted was "who catered this"? " they're excellent" "so good" "I got their card" "the food was sooo good" "I'm going to use them" "wow, where did you find these people" Seriously, they did an excellent job, the food was great, the staff was great, they did exactly what they said they would do when they said they would do it for a super reasonable price. I fully recommend them and will absolutely use them again when the opportunity arises

Our server came over and greeted us promptly upon our sitting down. He quickly took our drinks and…read moresaid he would return with waters. We got our drinks on his return, buy no water. He then took our food orders and apologized for not bringing waters. He then came back with waters and shortly thereafter with our food. However, there were hiccups, 2 of us were supposed to get waffle fries only 1 did while the other got regular fries and a 3rd in our group was supposed to get chicken on her salad and got none. When we talked to our server about it he was extremely apologetic and said he should have written everything down, but he made it right. This place is definitely worth a stop if in the area.

We had a marginal experience during the Sunday brunch at "B's" this past weekend. The omelet…read morestation is usually a "folded egg omelet" that fills an 8" dinner plate. This creation was - basically scrambled eggs on a 4" appetizer plate. The apple pastries were from a can - and tasted like it. And I know this is picky - but there was no bacon in the buffet line in any of the chafing dishes. I don't think we are going back.

The place is really great. Sort of a pleasant surprise but when I try an indie in a smaller area…read morefor the first time I set expectations low. An attractive pleasant dining spot with outdoor seating and modern interior. The menu of food and drinks is vast, especially the latest trend in mixing non-coffee drinks with fruit flavors. There is also a cooler with sodas and real root beer. Some sandwiches have a little spice, not to worry, even some Scandinavians would be able to brag of having "just a little smear", so as not to feel decadent. Creative sandwiches, Buffalo turkey with a creamy sauce, cheese on toasted bun, you get the vibe. Once you quickly figure out the dangerous parking lot wedged between two angled streets and shared closely with a neighboring business casually stroll in.
