EMIL'S HIDEAWAY REVIEWS

The food here was fantastic!!! I had an amazing asian-inspired chicken sandwich with broccoli. We also got the redneck nachos and I have to highly recommend those as well- the pulled pork was out of this world. The burger was phenomenal too. Eclectic and fun menu, but I have no doubt that everything is great.

We like this place, and obviously, a lot of other people do as well. It was nearly full, but got right in and seated in a booth. Great food and vibe! Reasonable price. I'm super happy with service, too! Thank you, Madison! We'll be back for sure.

Third time eating here at Emil's tonight. Place continues to deliver fantastic food. If you come here, the Chicken Rangoons are a must try. Thai peanut burger is fantastic. 10/10 recommend this hidden Gem.

THE WRIGHT TOUCH CATERING COMPANY REVIEWS

I have had the good fortune to work with The Wright Touch several times for work, and they always do a phenomenal job. So we knew we were in great hands for our wedding. Debbie did an amazing job making 400 little baby cupcakes and they were a huge hit with our guests. As always, they looked and tasted incredible. Plus, Debbie did a beautiful couples cake for us to do our cake cutting - it was perfect. She personally delivered our little cakes to our venue in Iowa City and laid them out on trays and it just looked amazing. I will always recommend The Wright Touch for any event.

Debbie and her staff catered for my wedding last weekend. They were SOO great to work with. Very easy to get a hold of, friendly and knew there stuff. We got LOTS of compliments on the food and everyone was really happy. As with any large event there were a few very minor hiccups, her staff handled everything professionally and quickly, there was no breakdown of work flow. Everyone ate and had a great time! Thanks again Debbie!

Picked out four of their Easter cupcakes and couldn't have been more pleased with how cute AND delicious they were. My girlfriend and I enjoy all four! (Couldn't wait to try before snapping a picture). Will definitely be coming back to this bakery!

PEPPERCORN FOOD COMPANY REVIEWS

The entire experience with Peppercorn was top-notch. Our guests are still talking about our event, and describe the food as "incredible." From start to finish, Jude and his team far exceeded our expectations with our 200-guest wedding. From the initial private tasting - which was amazing - to our wonderful, 5-Star restaurant experience at the wedding - Peppercorn never disappointed us. They were by far the most professional and easiest vendor throughout our event. Jude is truly the "Top Chef" of Iowa.

Jude and the team at Peppercorn Food Company did an outstanding job catering our wedding! Jude is incredibly responsive via phone, text, and email. You can tell he loves what he does and wants nothing more than to provide you with amazing food and an outstanding experience. We asked Jude to provide us with an elevated BBQ buffet and he knocked it out of the park! We would highly recommend Peppercorn Food Company to cater your next event!

We had the Peppercorn cater our wedding and they did an excellent job. Jude was able to accommodate our plated meal vision as well as having a cheese table during our cocktail hour. The food is well priced and delicious.
