I used Lother's catering for an employee event (pig roast for 130 people) and couldn't be happier. They went out of their way to take care of us and the food was delicious. I would use them again and recommend them to anyone. Great job by Jeff and his team!

We used Lothers to cater our wedding in September and we were not disappointed! The food was delicious, our friends and family have brought up multiple times how good it is. The bourbon chicken was our favorite! The staff was friendly and did a great job!

My daughter's wedding rehearsal and dinner was really good. Lemon pepper chicken and a pasta chicken and sides was excellent.

My wife originally tried Lother's at a bridal show and just had to have them caterer our wedding! The food was outstanding and our guests are still talking about it. We had the Braised Beef Short Rib and Chicken Florentine and both were delicious. Not only was the food fantastic, but the service was outstanding as well. Dawn and John were both very professional. We highly recommend booking with Lother's.

We just had a wedding with 270 people. We had so many compliments on the food. The food was amazing and the staff was great. We are so glad that we chose Lothers. Wish there was a way to give 6 stars.

I just recently had Lother's cater my wedding, and overall my experience with them was great. We had our tasting at Lother's and the food was amazing, and they did not disappoint for our big day. The chicken was juicy, the rolls were fresh and everything else was hot and delicious. The staff is very friendly, and kept the buffet well stocked. My only complaint was that we had specifically asked for them to leave the leftovers for our guests, and ourselves and instead of leaving it they took all of the food with them when they left (which there was a lot), and we had spent a lot of money to have that food. But overall, it was a good experience.

My best friend and his bride has this catered for their wedding. The food was REALLY bland as if they've never heard of, or even seen a grain of any type of seasoning, and to out the icing on the freaking cake, the rolls had mold. 11/10 would not recommend.

Lother's Catering does not disappoint! They served BBQ and sides at our wedding party and it was some of the best food I have ever had! Their ribs and pulled pork are out of this world. The cornbread and mac and cheese were superb! I had SO MANY guests at my party rave about how amazing the food was. They also stocked and ran my bar service. They were on time, friendly, professional, and all around a pleasure to work with. I can't recommend them enough!

I celebrated my 50th recently with over 100 guests and I used Lother's catering. I had Chicken Florentine & Roast Beef with red potatoes and mixed veggies, all of my guests said the food was great, even my picky guests were impressed! The price was reasonable and the service was awesome! Dawn the catering manager was wonderful to work with, she was very professional and assisted me in every step of the way.

I chose Lother's catering last minute because my original caterer can't accomodate my number of guests any longer (the size doubled) but Dawn was there to assure me that things will be okay, she accomodated my needs and requests. Dawn will give suggestions to save costs, you can always discuss your concerns and wants. Dawn will immediately return your call if she won't be able to answer your call the first time. She's very easy to work with.

I like the food tasting, it gave me an idea of the kind of food my guests will have. I had the chance to meet one of the owners, he was very nice and will readily answer your questions. The staff who assisted my party were professional and very accomodating. They set up on time and were on the dot! Lother's catering will leave the leftovers for you packed and ready to grab after the party.

You can also adjust the number of guests on the week of your event. Overall, I highly recommend Lother's Catering for any party or events! I was really happy of the food and the service they provided! Lother's Catering was part of a memorable 50th birthday party for myself and my guests!

We have used Lothers as a caterer for multiple events both large and small, including our September wedding! Our guests thoroughly enjoyed our cookout themed wedding complete with pig roast (and displayed pig)! And despite less than ideal weather, the service was excellent and the food tasted great. We highly recommend Lothers to anyone!

Lother's Catering provided all the food for my son's wedding reception of 125 people last Saturday. It was excellent. We had appetizer trays for the cock tail hour and we had mac and cheese, oven roasted potatoes, green beans, baked lemon chicken and the roasted pork for dinner. They arrived on time. Set everything up. Displayed everything beautifully. Assisted with calling the tables to the buffet line. Cleaned up after we were done eating.

I did not have to even concern myself with anything about the food and enjoyed my guests! The food was hot for all guests but not over cooked or dried out. For example, sometimes the green beans are cooked so long that they are wrinkled and mushy. Not these. Crisp tender and tasty. Roasted pork melted in your mouth, chicken was moist and flavorful. Perfect.

We also ordered wedding cake from them as the bride's grandmother made a small layer cake for the bride and groom but not enough to serve everyone. After the dinner was over and cleaned up (by them) the Lother's staff cut the sheet cake and set out plated cake for everyone. We just ordered a white cake with white frosting and it was delicious.

Very moist. Very tasty. (We ordered buttercream frosting.) I cannot say how wonderful the meal portion of the reception was. Joy and Jeremy were delightful to work with the evening of the reception. I highly recommend Lother's. They are now my caterer of choice.

I absolutely recommend Lother's Catering! They came all the way out to our secluded wedding venue in New Richmond, OH, the spread looked great, and the food was delicious. They did such a great job, I have nothing but good things to say about them.

"What makes Italian Pulled Pork taste Italian?" we asked the chef. Turns out, it was the seasoning, and it made the pulled pork delicious! Lother's catered an event at Receptions and had several different home cookin' options. I went straight for the pulled pork, which was tender and marinating deep in its juices. We each made our own sandwich on a toasted roll, then garnished it with house made BBQ sauce or horseradish.

I also tried their mac n' cheese which reminded me of old school cafeteria style; and I say that in the most endearing way possible. It was creamy and baked with cheese. The presentation was easily accessible and I enjoyed getting to make my own plate. And that Italian Pulled Pork.it'll definitely keep me excited for the next event catered by Lother's.
