Kalmes Restaurant & Catering, St Donatus

Looks like they were awarded best caterer and best Prime rib at the Dubuque Best Fest year after year.The awards are on the walls.Food at the restaurant has always been the best in the area. I have been at events that they catered and the food and staff have always been the best.

First let me correct you, Kalmes Restaurant is located in St.Donatus, Ia. not Lamotte. The food is excellent, my favorite Prime Rib will melt in your mouth. the restaurant is very very clean! and there is no paneling. It is a great place to catch up with friends and family. If you need privacy they have a small meeting room up stairs. The catering is also excellent and have an awsome staff. I think Goldy you need to revisit..It can't be the bad if Windy and Helen and their family have ran it for over 50 yrs and his father before that. I think you need to revisit....

Goldy is so wrong! How can a restaurant that was once voted Best Restaurant by Restaurateurs be bad?!?! Everything is great - the food, the homemade soups and salad bar options, the service.... I haven't had anything there that wasn't good! All for a reasonable price! I think its storefront is a clever disguise only to find a great restaurant hidden in the back!!!!

Kalmes Restaurant catered our wedding reception (at another location) and we received lots of compliments on the food. Would definitely use their services again.
