Customer Testimonials

  • “Tomato bisque, chicken tortilla and baked potato are just a few of the creations simmering at Palmer’s. A
    case full of salads, sandwich combinations limited only by your imagination, eight different cookies, five
    different bars and to-die-for brownies round out the selection.”

  • “During the month of May, i had three occasions to make use of the talents of Palmer’s Deli staff.
    The chicken salad sandwiches for our son’s college graduation drew the loudest praise from our guests.
    Our daughter’s hosted a bridal shower, and again, a huge success. Lots of compliments. But the best
    event was our son’s rehearsal dinner hosted by Palmer’s. Everything from table set up to food presentation was impeccable. The staff was courteous and helpful. Thank you for accommodating our celebrations with such good food and service. I was able tot host three
    wonderful parties with little effort on my part. You should be proud of the great service and food you
    are providing. I wish you much success.”

  • “Thank you for all your help in making our women’s basketball alumni event at the Hall of Pride so wonderful.
    The food was great (as always) and your staff was terrific. It’s a pleasure to work with you! Thanks for all
    you do for Drake!”

  • …I walked in your deli and immediately noticed how pleasant everything was. The decor, customers, counter
    set up, and noticeably friendly smiles on ALL of the employees faces while they worked. I ordered my
    sandwich which was delicious and a bowl of chili. Oh, the chili! I consider myself somewhat of a chili freak
    and I must tell you that your chili is the best that I have ever eaten.
    …I plan on bringing a cooler next time I’m in town to take several quarts back home with me.”

  • “Thank you for catering our event yesterday. I’ve received a lot of positive feedback, including many from our leadership.
    I was surprised that several people didn’t realize that Palmer’s catered. Again, I just wanted to tell you how impressed
    I was with the presentation and taste of your food. You have made my job as an event planner a lot easier.
    Thanks again!”

  • “Palmer’s catered our son’s highschool graduation party for over 100 guests. I am writing to compliment your excellent
    work. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. The advice on how much food to order was completely on
    target and very appreciated. My husband and I are among your many regular Palmer’s lunchers and brunchers!
    I look forward to Palmer’s catering future parties and banquets.
