Dont’t take our word for it – here’s what our customers say:

We had a large group for Mother’s Day. It was nice that they took reservations. Our table was ready on time and the staff did a great job serving us. The food was good, too!

Great place to have catering for an event or a private event! We had Waterloo cater our wedding and we had our rehearsal dinner there and it was amazing! John is a fantastic chef and made sure food and drinks were on point for our special day. If you are looking into catering or a private event reach out to them and they will make it happen!

It’s a very laid back atmosphere. Never too crowded. The food is always great! I recommend the Bison burger. But all the food is always consistently good. You won’t have room but the desert is great to take home for later. Won’t be disappointed.

Waterloo just catered my daughters wedding last night. They rocked it! The food was awesome and got many compliments. The staff was friendly and went above and beyond like packing and loading all the extra food in our car, and loaded the extra alcohol! Thank you so much to John and staff!

Love coming here, especially for breakfast! It’s such a comfortable place with beautiful decor and also elegant if you want a fine dining experience. The employees are always so nice and the food is delicious. I love how they still have an operational payphone in the lobby 🙂

Waterloo catered our wedding! The chef, John Bahas, makes every dish really amazingly delicious! One bite of his cooking and you will see what I mean! They were a reasonable price for feeding 150 people and it was delicious! Highly recommend Waterloo Catering! When we went to the restaurant to taste the food, the staff were very helpful and attentive!
