Chef Hot Hands Cafe

Chef Hot Hands catered an event I attended. The food was amazing! There was creativity and love put into the menu - the food was well prepared and delicious. I would describe the menu as gourmet soul food.

Chef is friendly: greets people with a smile, answers questions about the food, welcoming. He is also a very talented chef. Highly recommend. 👏🏾

ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Larry NEVER disappoints. Honestly, the best food I’ve had. No matter what he’s cooking up, I know it’ll be tasty, fresh, and I’ll always come back for more!

We’ve tried everything from his Salisbury steak to creamy chicken to birra tacos and loved every bite of them all.

His prices are extremely reasonable for the size of each meal and the quality of the ingredients. You can literally taste the freshness and you just KNOW it was made from scratch with so much attention to each aspect of the meal.

YUM!

Absolutely delicious! Larry prepared a fantastic personal 3 course meal for us and impressed with everything we ate! We will be back! Thank you Chef!

We tried out the wings for Joe's Graduation party. They were absolutely amazing, and the smoked mac and cheese was to die for! Great local business.

Chef Hot Hands catered my family event and it was AMAZING! Everyone loved the food (even the kids) and the service was perfect. The brought a smoker trailer and served food fresh from the smoker. We did hot dogs, chicken, ribs, potato salad, beans and smoked Mac n cheese. Highly recommend everything we ordered. I’ve also had food from the cafe in Hugo and always great quality and delicious!

Hired Chef to cater a family reunion and was blown away! Had a variety of smoked meats and sides and everyone ate until they were full (and then a little more) and had plenty of leftovers. Hands down some of the best BBQ! Chef arrived on time with his awesome smoker trailer and got to work. Food was served right from the smoker which was so fun. Larry himself is the kindest person and incredibly humble. He took the time to chat with our group, crack some jokes, and thank everyone. You really don’t need to look any further for your caterer!

I was able to sample just about everything in the menu. Oh. My. Goodness. I cannot wait to go back for some more ribs. Hands down the BEST ribs I have had in my entire life. And I have judged a rib competition before. The wings and loaded potato skins were also amazing, but the ribs stole the show for me.

Chef Hothands catered our daughters graduation and catered our wedding and everybody shared that we had the best wedding food ever. Steak made to order and shrimp on the grill with amazing au gratin potatoes which I want the recipe for. Served with love and gold flakes. Chef Hothands and his staff have a great demeanor and energy and blend right in with the party. Also have had meals in the restaurant and enjoy all of the menu. keep up the creativity and passion cuz you are rocking it!

Chef hot hands has got the best take out! We ordered wings which were amazing, hot, fresh and just what we were hoping! We also got the chicken sliders & they were made with love and so much flavor! We’ve gotten take out a few times, the order process online is so easy. Definitely recommend!

Chef Hot Hands serves up delicious comfort food! I've had a few different items and each is superb. I love pot pies and his is the best I've ever had. He is passionate about good food and it shows in all his dishes. If you want to enjoy really tasty meals in the comfort of your home, this is perfect. He also does a great job with catering - beautiful presentation!

We have been meaning to order take out from Chef Hot Hands for some time. It was amazing!! We Loved the chicken sliders and chicken wings. Will definitely go back! Chef Hot Hands was very kind, friendly and positive as well. All around Exceptional person to do business with! I encourage others to make a visit! Soooooo yummy!!!

Every dish that Chef Hot Hands makes is spectacular, creative and damn delicious. I cannot recommend their food enough. It really is made with skill and heart. A real gem in Minnesota.

I ordered the Intimate Entree, stuffed salmon served over linguine with a citrus cream sauce. It was delicious. It was fresh, hot and the portion was very generous. I would definitely order from Chef Hot Hands again.

Best takeout experience we've had. Sliders, Chicken Sliders, Loaded Potato Skins, and homemade potato chips were all exceptional and way above the quality you would expect from takeout food. Looking forward to trying his "intimate entrees" which are different daily. Chef was friendly and accommodating and offered to make my mom, who has severe food allergies, "anything she wants." Highly recommend!

Best food ever! I'm so glad Chef Hot Hands is around and gives us more options for those nights we are not in the mood to cook. Every dish I've tried from him has been delicious, and I'm not exaggerating. My favorites are his lasagna and ribs. Highly recommended!!

His food is absolutely AMAZING!! But the best thing about Chef Hot Hands is Larry!! The fact he is so kind and caring and does so much for others is also why I will always recommend his restaurant. Thank you Larry for reaching out to me today knowing I had surgery. I truly appreciate your kindness.

Larry Jiles, a.k.a. Chef Hot Hands, has brought another dining option to Centerville and Hugo. His menu has a very nice variety of classic dishes that he has given his own twist. He also has daily specials that highlight interesting flavors and ingredients, sometimes seasonal. He has a passion for his art and it is reflected in the quality and flavor of his dishes. Let's support this local chef! I recommend Chef Hot Hands.

Food was fantastic! #ChefHotHands and special staff made my parents 55th wedding anniversary party in our home an amazing experience we will never forget. If you are looking for the best food and caterer call them today! This secret gem won’t stay secret very long.

This place was absolutely delicious!! My only disappointment was that I didn't order from them sooner!! We ordered the ribs and mash potatoes, Alfredo and potatoe skins all of which was amazing! The chef and his wife are so nice and friendly. We will definitely be back!!

We have used Chef Hot Hands for numerous events including our wedding reception, Christmas Dinners, town festivals and more. Hands down some of the most flavorful food you'll experience.
