Here’s just one of the many five-star reviews that got them there:

“[They have a] great staff and great food. Nico is a terrific Chef! I’d love to recommend a particular dish, but I haven’t eaten anything there that wasn’t wonderful. Nico’Z also offers a nice selection of wines and craft beers. Be sure to call ahead; the place is cozy and popular. The emphasis is on quality over quantity, and you’ll see it when you eat there.” – Jim W.

Not Your Average Restaurant

We wanted to learn what makes this award-winning business tick, so we took a few minutes to talk with Nicole Booth, Head Chef and the owner of Nico’Z Catering & Eatery.

To kick off our conversation, we asked Nicole about what makes Nico’Z Catering & Eatery unique compared to the many other restaurants in Missouri. Nicole told us:

“We don’t fry anything here! We change our menus every quarter, and we’re small enough that we know all of our customers! We have flavors from all over the world — Italian, steakhouse, Asian-influenced foods — a little bit of everything!”

Nicole went on to add:

“We’ve got a new lunch menu coming in July! We have specialty pizzas on Wednesdays — our Hump Day Happy Hour! On Fridays, we have steak and seafood by reservation only. We’re closed Sunday and Monday, so that we can cater events.”

We also asked Nicole about the Nico’Z Catering & Eatery mission and how she and her team work to make the world a better place. Nicole shared with us that she’s just trying to keep people interested in food, dining out and trying new cuisine.

Building Success Through Word of Mouth and Internet Advertising

When we asked Nicole what their secret to such a strong online reputation is at Nico’Z Catering & Eatery, she said:

“Our patrons leave us reviews on their own. We’ve never asked for them.”

Outside of building a powerful online reputation, Nico’Z Catering & Eatery has grown through word of mouth and internet advertising, including sending emails out daily and posting their specials on Facebook. Nicole told us that they used to do paper and radio advertising, but that they stopped after a few years.

There are many business owners looking to grow their business and build their online reputation. Here’s Nicole’s expert advice for them:

“Be confident in what you’re doing, and love what you do!”


Congratulations to Nico’Z Catering & Eatery for being a 2019 Top Rated Local award winner, and thank you so much, Nicole, for taking the time to speak with us!
