Our Story

Wunderlich's Catering & Barley Shoppe, based in Columbus, Nebraska, has been a trusted name in catering since 1908, serving Fremont, Lincoln, Omaha, Grand Island, Hastings, and the surrounding communities. As a family-owned and operated business spanning five generations, we’ve proudly upheld a legacy of excellence, tradition, and hospitality for well over a century. Our roots trace all the way back to 1904, and today, the fifth generation is proudly stepping into the business, bringing fresh energy while learning from the best—his grandfather and uncle, who taught him everything they know about food, service, and dedication.

At Wunderlich’s, we make everything from scratch—never from a box. That’s not just a slogan; it’s the heart of who we are. Our recipes have been lovingly passed down through generations, and we take great pride in the homemade taste and quality of our food. From tender meats and hearty sides to freshly baked goods and savory dishes, every item on our menu reflects our commitment to authentic, home-cooked cuisine.

We understand that catering is about more than just food—it’s about the experience. Whether you’re planning a wedding, corporate event, graduation party, or celebration of life, we treat your event like it’s our own. Customers often tell us they feel more like family than just another client. We listen closely, customize every detail, and ensure that your vision is brought to life with care, precision, and delicious results.

Our services extend far beyond the kitchen. We offer full bar service, complete event setup and cleanup, and a standout feature—our one-of-a-kind Beer Cave, a fun and unique experience your guests will love. Whether it’s an intimate gathering or a large-scale celebration, we ensure every detail is handled so you can enjoy your event stress-free.

With over a century of trusted service and a strong reputation built on word-of-mouth and lasting relationships, Wunderlich’s continues to evolve while staying true to its roots. The journey of our fifth-generation team member, who came to catering from a construction background, is a testament to the passion and dedication that drive us. With great mentors, a strong work ethic, and an unwavering love for the business, he’s helping carry the tradition forward.

When you choose Wunderlich's Catering & Barley Shoppe, you’re choosing more than great food—you’re choosing a team that genuinely cares about making your event special. Homemade, heartfelt, and time-tested— that’s the Wunderlich’s difference.
