We recently had multiple losses in our family and used Cindy Lou’s for our funeral catering. They were easy to work with, efficient, excellent food and compassionate.
It is hard to find good service and someone who cares about their customers in this society. We appreciate it! Cindy Lou’s is my favorite restaurant in the Cedar Valley!
Thank you so much Cindy.
