Best food and service- Really great people

From the very beginning, working with Jeni and Chef Matt was great. We wanted to do a more unusual menu and Chef Matt created a meal to exceed our expectations (a combination of greek salad, mediterranean rice, grilled veggies, pita and hummus, and his own take on shawarma chicken). Our guests couldn't stop talking about it! I mean, to get compliments that it was the best wedding food and just food in general that they ever had was outstanding and made us feel like we were able to really treat our guests!
Working with Jeni was so refreshing! She is professional and caring, and brought up so many details that I hadn't even thought of that elevated the service we received. She even cut our cake for the guests!
We also had our rehearsal dinner catered by Matthew's Catering and were so impressed with his KC BBQ. The brisket was melt in your mouth tender and the sides were delicious.
The price is very reasonable and the quality and value can't be beat.
This team is truly an asset to an event they serve. Just wonderful. We were so incredibly lucky to find them.
I will be recommending them for any and all occasions. They are THAT good. Give them a call or email them, they will exceed your expectations!

Fan-tas-tic

My husband and I booked Matthew's Catering for our April 2023 wedding and it was phenomenal! Throughout the entire process of tastings, personalizing our menus, communications, and finalizing wedding day details Matt, Jeni and their team were the best! They were so professional in ensuring we and our guests had the best experience. We still have guests complimenting the fantastic food and service! It was a super bonus to have two plates of leftovers for my husband and I after wedding day! We would absolutely recommend them!

Team

Matt Cross
Matt Cross
Owner and Head Chef

Chef Matt Cross is a born-and-raised Kansas Citian who is no stranger to the restaurant business. Growing up, he watched his father own and operate numerous restaurant establishments in the Kansas City area, and eventually Matt found himself in the back of a kitchen prepping menu items and learning firsthand what it meant to cook food from scratch. It was then that he knew cooking and preparing food for others would be his passion.

Matt began his restaurant career cleaning tables, advanced to line cook, and eventually earned the title of sous chef. After a great deal of hard work and dedication, Matt was offered his first head chef position at Michael Forbes Grille in Brookside, where for seven years he further developed and honed his culinary skills. In addition to managing business in the kitchen, Matt oversaw the restaurant’s high-volume catering business. The responses of appreciation and customer satisfaction, and the desire to bring his own favorite dishes to the people in the Kansas City metro area are what led Matt to pursue his long-time dream of opening Matthew’s Catering.

Matt is a husband and father to three active children. When he isn’t being creative in the kitchen, he is spending time with his family and keeping plugged in to the local food scene.
