Review Update 2024: We had Crave do another one of our yearly Gala + Award Show events. This year they did our open bar. They were EXCELLENT! The bartenders were personable and professional. They provided a signature cocktail for our event. It was exactly what we were looking for and they executed it perfectly. Five Stars.Review 2023: Crave Catering & Events did an amazing job at our yearly Twin Cities Wedding & Event Professionals Award Show Gala. Everything was so yummy. People kept going back for more. We highly recommend!

We had a great experience working with Crave and Ivy for our wedding! We had some non-traditional requests: half-vegan and half-omnivore menu, rolling appetizers/cocktail-style food all night, no traditional seating so we needed food that could be eaten with hands, etc… Ivy and crave made it happen and never felt pushy. Ivy accommodated lots of back and forth as we tried to make it perfect and changed our minds constantly, and worked with us to make sure that we had the food vibe we wanted, enough of it, and that it was within our budget. She also really helped to explain costs and why certain decisions might be better than others. Everyone raved about the food and the staff was incredible day of, too!

When your menu is one page and you can't even find consistency in simple items such as chicken tenders and fries...If it weren't for the convenience, I would never give it another try. I tried today and received 3 horrible chicken patties as tenders and one was so thick and stuck to another that it was completely under cooked.... Last time the tenders were tiny nuggets that you would normally use for boneless wings. There was more breading than meat and I almost broke my tooth on the shit. Hospital food, Applebee's, and White Castle are all better than crave. It took a lot for me to write a review...just trashy over priced nonsense. Avoid... there are so many better places in the area. I'm done.

I don't think I would eat here again due to my values alone, but the horrible service and subpar food were a disappointment for my date and I. If your server is rude and your sparky manager backs it up? see ya later! my business is a privilege not a right.

Crave did such a great job for our wedding! We worked with Becky then Dani and they were both tremendous and helpful. Dani was so responsive and made sure all my questions were answered. She got everything perfect down to the last detail including family and friends with certain dietary restrictions. We got so many compliments about the food for our wedding as well as our late night snack. Their staff were all so wonderful to our guests and we all had a very enjoyable and delicious experience thanks to Crave!

I eat a lotttttt of wedding meals and there is no one better than Crave!! Exceptional food, staff, & quality. I never have to worry about liking what I eat when they are the caterer!!!
I used the Crave catering and I was just as happy as I am when I dine in. The sushi and seafood was so fresh and delicious. I will definitely use this service again and I recommend booking this catering service!

I would give ZERO if that was an option.They told us we could book with them. We took the time to carefully go through our menu for our wedding. We worked with them back and forth a lot. Then a day later when we wanted to book, they said they couldn't because of events booked months ago.Hmmm.. They why are you even talking to us if you know you can't take the event? It is not like it is huge. So someone is lying to us from Crave (Sales or Management)Either way, if you want a successful event, don't bother calling this company, They will find a way to mess it up for you.UPDATE: emailed in, Facebook messaged in, wrote this review, NOBODY HAS CONTACTED ME

We couldn't be happier with our experience from Crave! We received many compliments from our wedding guests regarding our food options and the actual dinner itself. Our options were the beef short ribs, almond crusted walleye, tuscan stuffed chicken, and vegan stuffed bell peppers. The sides were eloquently prepared crowd pleasers and the dinner salad was very good as well. Communication with the sales rep was easy and they helped us through the process with no issues along the way. Overall, we were very happy with our experience and highly recommend Crave!
