Catering Comments from Customers:

“Wow, a caterer’s caterer?…Andy makes me look good.”

“We were using a caterer for specific annual events and wanted to mix things up a bit with parties we were providing.  We were fortunate enough to receive a referral from them to Andy Nelson’s.  I was impressed.  I thought, ‘wow, a caterer’s caterer?  Andy Nelsons must be something special!’  And they are!”

“Andy’s makes me look good to our entire staff.  When people stop me in the hall or drop me an e-mail to say how fun our picnic was, or how delicious the beef brisket was, I feel as though I am getting all the credit!  (But I love it).”

- Victoria Hathaway, Baltimore Behavioral Health


“Quality food for a hearty appetite…Despite snowy weather…delivered right on time”

“We wanted to keep costs to attend our 60th Anniversary Celebration low, but still provide quality food for a hearty appetite (skiers really know how to attack a buffet).”

“Despite snowy weather that evening, making travel difficult, you delivered right on time.  Especially loved the beef brisket!”

- Beth Muscedere, Baltimore Ski Club

“Bradley was the best.  He helped out in many ways and all of my guests were impressed by his service”

"I wanted you to know that our rehearsal dinner for our son’s wedding on Friday Jan. 25 went very well.  The food was excellent and there was plenty of it!  Our host, Bradley was the best.  He helped out in many ways and all of my guests were impressed by his service.  He is a credit to your business.  I will be happy to refer friends and patients to your catering services."

- George and Janice Lauterbach

“...The best that I have ever eaten anywhere.”

"I can honestly say Mr. Nelson’s fried turkeys are the best tasting turkeys I have ever had. My wife agrees too.  I am a barbecue connoisseur.  Barbecue is my favorite food.  I can honestly say that Mr. Nelson’s pulled pork barbecue, catfish, and chicken wings are the best that I have eaten anywhere."

- Major Thomas Stocks, United States Army

“It is nearly impossible to not have a family atmosphere when Andy Nelson is providing dinner.”

"Results - providing 50 to 60 men a break from the Day to Day.  It is a special time to be with a diverse group of men that for 30 minutes plus have one thing in common - sharing a meal that they will remember for weeks to come.  The combination of Andy Nelson’s Catering, the Loyola Fathers’ Club and their families is something that these men take to heart.  It is merely People helping People.  Simply a process of being Men for Others.  By the smiles on everyone’s faces Andy Nelson’s Catering exceeded everyone’s expectations."

- Patrick T. Connor, The Baltimore Station


“It’s the best real barbeque for about 400 miles. No question.”


"It’s the best real barbeque for about 400 miles. No question. Everyone from the dishwashing staff to the chefs and sommeliers loved it.  Seamless orchestration that went beyond expectations. We knew the food would be fantastic.  Watching every employee enjoy themselves. After a year of hard work this is our chance to thank them for everything they do. Thank you Andy Nelson’s for being a part of our celebration. You helped us make a lot of people happy."

- Tony Foreman and Cindy Wolf, The Charleston Group

“Parents came in to town from Texas, Colorado, Chicago, Kansas, Massachusetts, and Connecticut and everyone raved about the food.”

"I would like to say thank you to you and your staff for the wonderful Barbecue Dinners that you have provided to us and the University of Denver Women’s Lacrosse Team over the past four years. Every year the girls looked forward to coming to Maryland and having ribs and cornbread. They talked so much about it to all of their parents and this year we ended up with a record amount of people. Parents came in to town from Texas, Colorado, Chicago, Kansas, Massachusetts, and Connecticut and everyone raved about the food. We have been receiving emails and cards from all thanking us for a great time. Your staff has been professional, accommodating and courteous and I would like to commend you for a job well done! We have always enjoyed Andy Nelson’s and will continue to visit and spread the word. We sincerely appreciate your kindness."

- Marian and Ed Childs, University of Denver Women’s Lacrosse

...as soon as my crew hears that we’re having Andy Nelson’s BBQ for lunch, they are very happy campers!”

"I ordered lunch yesterday for a video production we were doing for Polk Audio and just wanted to let you know how much the clients and crew enjoyed it. Dave arrived right on time, brought it in and set up so it made it very easy for me. The clients and crew really raved. It was delicious as usual. I’ve got to tell you that as soon as my crew hears that we’re having Andy Nelson’s BBQ for lunch, they are very happy campers! For the very efficient website and quick response to ordering, nice people and great food I just have to say thanks again."

- Janet Kahoe, President/Producer Stonebridge Communications, Inc.

“Good Food, Atmosphere and Service. Yes, it certainly met our expectations. Our customers were happy and well fed!”

"We wanted to create a Grand Opening Event that would welcome our customers with hospitality and give them a memorable day of festivities. Shelter Systems, Westminster, MD, is one of customers and had used Andy Nelson with rave reviews. Based on their feedback, we decided to have them cater our event as well...Good Food, Atmosphere and Service. Yes, it certainly met our expectations. Our customers were happy and well fed!"

- Amy Mayne, Simpson Strong Tie

“We have over 3,000 employees located throughout the Baltimore area and Andy Nelson's has served about 1/3 of these folks”

"We have over 3,000 employees located throughout the Baltimore area and Andy Nelson's has served about 1/3 of these folks catering events in the past several years. ...The weather did not cooperate, but the chicken and pit beef, paired with the beans and slaw compensated for the wet and dreary day. The peach cobbler melted in our mouths. A good time was had by all. Andy Nelson's will certainly be on our list for the next BGE event."

- Barbara Wolod, BGE

“Let’s face it, it’s great guy food!”

"While Andy Nelson’s is widely popular among people who enjoy superb barbecue, we felt its menu would be especially attractive to the roughly four dozen men whom we expected to have on hand for our event. Let’s face it, it’s great guy food! Also, since we’re in the 60-something age bracket, the name Andy Nelson means something to all of us who grew up on Baltimore Colts football!"

- Skip Minakowski, Loyo la High School class of 1963
