LMR Catering

Great catering for the Bellbrook High School event at the Mandalay Center. Everything was perfect for everyone.

Thank you LMR for an amazing dinner!! The food was great and the sauces were perfect! Destiny was extremely helpful and efficient.

LMR catered my wedding and they were great. Free tasting and consultation. Vanessa the event director was responsive to changes and emails throughout the planning process. The food was DELICIOUS. We had pulled pork/fried chicken, mac and cheese, beans, and salad. They even boxed up leftovers for us. They also cut the cake, free of charge. I believe LMR was very affordable for the quality. Also the bartender we hired from them was AMAZING!

BEST FOOD EVER! We weren't able to do any tastings so we went into it fully trusting reviews. Seriously some of the best food we've had at a wedding. Class act service and great communication the whole time!

LMR catered our wedding and they went above and beyond! Not only was the taco bar delicious, but the staff was so friendly and made sure that all guests were taken care of. Highly recommend!!

Thank you LMR catering! Recently hired LMR Catering to provide the food for my husband's surprise party. They were so great to work with from beginning to end. The food was fresh, well made and tasted exceptional and the staff so personable. The party was a great success! We received so many compliments on the food from our guests. Such a great group of people to work with.

LMR catered my wedding and did an absolutely phenomenal job. The food was delicious, communication was fast and friendly, and they provided any and all accommodations we needed. Sharon, Amber, Guy, and Joe helped make our wedding memorable and easy. They provided the best bar-tending and customer service I could have asked for. Not only did they cleanup and make sure all of our guests were taken care of, but they went above and beyond to package up any left over cake and move tables and chairs to allow for more dancing space. I would recommend them to anyone looking to cater an event. We received so many compliments on their food from guests.

Wish I could give a zero. We were passed from one person to another. The person we did our tasting with was no longer with them so they lost all our information from the tasting and we had to start from scratch. We paid for total set up and no one was there to help us so we did it all ourselves. We paid for total tear down and still did 75% of that ourselves thank goodness we had amazing friends and family willing to help us clean things up and tear them down. They said they would pay us back for the set up but never sent the refund check. I reached out three times after that with no response. Now my husband has been trying to call them to figure out what’s going on. It’s been a stressful mess.10/10 do not recommend. My dad used Brock masterson for our wedding brunch the next day without any issue.

LMR showed up and showed out for my wedding on April 1st. The food was amazing & my guests were very happy. They were professional & efficient. The bartender Angela was friendly and even made sure to set aside my fave margarita cocktail so that I could have some before my guests drank it all (it was pretty popular with everyone). Overall, great service. 10000/10 would recommend!

Seriously..this is the caterer you want. The food is fantastic. All of our guests were so impressed with them. The staff was so polite and fun to be with. We had a taco bar and a pasta bar and it was amazing. Highly recommend these guys ❤️ We were married yesterday and here I am already telling you how great they were haha

I have had LMR Catering at several catered weddings and events in the Dayton area, and they always do a wonderful job. The food is always presented well and the staff is super friendly and helpful. While they are known for their BBQ and comfort foods, they do so many other things like passed apps, buffets, plated meals and more. Highly recommend!

This review has been a long time coming. I had to sit and think of how exactly to explain my experience with LMR so that no other bride goes through what I went through on my wedding day. We previously spoke to LMR at a bridal expo near the Dayton area, we reached out to a few vendors we met that day and LMR fit our budget. After initial contact with LMR I suffered the death of my grandfather in April 2022, which made it extremely hard and painful to move forward with planning my wedding which was set for July 10 2022. Once I was able to pull myself together, I reached back out to LMR, explained my circumstances and told them that we would still like to go with them for our wedding. Communication: I worked with Lindsay the event director mainly through email. I confirmed with her the date of the wedding, location, dj, vendor, every necessary detail she requested, I provided. Lindsay provided us with an updated proposal and it was more affordable, so we thought to go with them. STRIKE 1. Our first reservation with LMR was the fact that even for a guest list of around 70 people, they still made us pay for 100 plates because they had a minimum of 100 plates for Sunday weddings. STRIKE 2. During the process of finalizing the menu to see if they could accommodate for low fodmap, and gluten free options, as well as a special meal for my mother... I was absolutely GHOSTED. No contact and no response to my question from May 25th until June 7th. I was panicking thinking that they were no longer going to do my wedding leaving me in a lurch. I had my matron of honor call LMR and they told her that Lindsay had gone on vacation. That's cool, but there's no out of office? No back up to responding to her emails? How are customers who are getting really close to their event supposed to feel secure in a company that does not communicate? Food: STRIKE 3. -I did not see the display for the app/cocktail hour foods, I can only speak to the dinner items. - The Woodfired Roast Beef was reminiscent of jerky, it was the driest piece of beef I have ever had. I attempted to cut it with the plastic forks LMR provides and my knife bent. I am at the front table and I couldn't even saw through my dinner, imagine my guests? I would think they would provide better cutlery to stand up to their extremely dry beef. - The fact that they called this Caribbean J*** Marinated Grilled Chicken is laughable! I am Caribbean, and I grew up with Jamaicans so I know what j*** chicken tastes like. Burned chicken with pineapples on top is NOT j*** chicken and is an absolute waste of money. - Unfortunately, none of the vegetarians had any of the Vegetarian Lasagna because LMR just kept it in the kitchen, so we had a WHOLE tray of flavorless Vegetarian Lasagna with crunchy uncooked vegetables. - The One Vegetarian Lasagna with No Black Pepper was ordered special for my mother since she has an ulcer and cannot have any black pepper, this too was left in the kitchen, and my mother was left without a meal for the night! - The Herbed Green Beans were fibrous, you couldn't bite through one without pulling back enough string to hem a pair of pants. I also spoke with LMR regarding setting up and handing out our macarons, and placing our cake on top of the tower, and they couldn't even do that properly. They just had our one tier cake next to our macaron tower, it looked terrible in pictures! I should not have been so desperate to go with LMR since they did not do a tasting of the menu. Do not listen to your venue or DJ when they say LMR is the caterer to go with, they are not, please choose someone else, ANYONE else. If we could do it all over again, we'd go with a taco truck!

LMR was absolutely amazing! Vanessa and her team did everything in their power to make everything go smooth. I will forever recommend them.
