Catering by Cleavers runs out of Russell Street and handles the kind of events where the food is either quietly excellent or quietly embarrassing — they land firmly in the first category.
Wedding catering, corporate events, private dinners, banquets — the operation covers it all with custom menus built around what you're actually serving and who's actually eating it. That means accommodating gluten-free and vegetarian guests without the afterthought energy most caterers bring to dietary requests. The facility doubles as an event venue, so the food and the room come from the same team, which is rarer in Sioux Falls than it should be.
What sets them apart is that the food tastes like it was made by someone with a stake in how the evening goes — not reheated, not batch-produced into submission. No upselling you into a package that inflates the headcount price once you've already committed. Chef-driven menus, passed appetizers, plated courses, the whole arc of an event handled without handoffs to three different vendors.
