50 Best Caterers near Signal Hill

“Used Olive Wood Pizza to cater a work conference for the second year in a row, and they were just as great as we remembered. The wood-fired pizzas are incredibly good and were a big hit with everyone at the event. The staff is always friendly, easy to work with, and responsive, which made the whole planning process smooth and stress-free. Highly recommend for any event or gathering!“

“Everything is amazing down to the last detail The food is out of this world“

“This place is a gem! The food is terrific - nice and fresh and tasty. The staff brings your tray to your table, which is so nice in my opinion! The place feels homey. Nice music. Expansive menu. The mango pineapple smoothie is $7.50 but MAN. That was the best smoothie I think I've ever had. I always wanted to try this place, since I always pass it on the bus. I finally did and it was a great experience. I highly recommend stopping by! I know I'll be back.“

“Bryan, Sergio, Eric, Frankie — the dinner was absolutely amazing. Everything was flawless. The service was incredibly polite and attentive, the presentation was a perfect 10/10, and the overall experience was truly outstanding. Thank you so much 🤍“

“I've tried just about everything on the menu at Shady Grove Foods and nothing disappoints. I can close my eyes and put my finger on the menu and I would be happy wherever it landed. I had Sticky Bones again tonight and I'm as thrilled as the first time I tried them and all the other times I've had them and in fact I feel like tonight's were the best ever. I seriously enjoy their food and hospitality. The hardest part is driving back to Cal Heights without opening the box and start eating. Compliments to the whole staff and guys cooking it up in the back. It's about to get even better real soon. I can't wait. Stay tuned. . . .“

“Critics went above and beyond for my bridal shower! I had a small rooftop gathering of about 20 gals and Kaycie knew exactly how to handle this type of event. From the menu selection to the set-up, it was absolutely stunning and my guests were raving over the avocado toast bar! I really enjoyed working with Kaycie and her energy is amazing! She is very personable, very professional and because of that, I will continue to use Critics for future events.“

“I stopped in for the first time today..it's my sister's birthday and she wanted a German Chocolate cake so I grabbed a few slices..The cake was AWESOME!!! cute spot, great location,friendly staff.. I will be returning to order some food and more desserts next time 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽“

“The most incredible catering company ever! I used TGIS for my wedding in Malibu. They were the most professional, organized and responsible company. All of my guests raved about the food, the bartenders were so fun and on it, and the timing was seamless. Jeremy goes out of his way to make you feel calm and taken care of. He is honest, trustworthy and responsible. I can't wait to use them again for any catering needs. I recommend them to everyone!“

“Oh my goodness the pizza is very good. They attended an event at Harbor UCLA Med Ctr and saw their truck and had to try it. Definitely will keep them in mind for an event or just to see what part of the area they will be. 🤗💖“

“Yesterday, Italia on the Road hosted my daughter's bridal shower for 20 guests. I can't recommend them enough. From the service friendliness, the professionalism, and the delicious food, my guests kept complimenting them to me even the day after the event.

We had a full charcuterie and cheese board, bruschetta with different toppings, skewers, two kinds of pastas, and both tiramisu and cannoli for dessert. Since the food was Italian themed, Italia On the Road also brought Italian sodas which people absolutely loved. One guest commented that she just came back from Italy and the food she had over there wasn't as good as what she had yesterday. Another said the tiramisu was the best she's ever had. I loved the rigatoni a la Bolognese, and the spinach ravioli was a revelation. 👍😋“

“We hired Pucker Up to do a custom hydration station lounge for our animal-themed baby shower, and Kar, the owner, designed, installed, and delivered an incredible station of lemonades, spa waters, and accutramonts styled to be completely on brand and aligned with our decor. Loved working with her. From consultation calls to sharing a Pinterest board, her final display was the major focal point of the party, and the decor she came up with blew everyone away! Thank you!!“

“Their breakfast burritos are delicious!“

“Thank you for decorating my uncles party it looks amazing truly love the Green Bay colors amazing tacos . Clean equipment and early delivery to ensure everything was met. Awesome service highly recommend“

“My roommate decided to try the coffee after hearing about it through a friend in CA (we are in RI). My roommate says it is by far one of the best coffees he has ever tasted. Very aromatic! Smooth and just, well, a must try! It was also ground well, packaging was great, delivery was on time. Website was easy to use. We'll be back for another shipment!“

“Loved the Oktoberfest there!“

“Where to even begin with how incredible Cave Catering was? First, people were raving about the food for days. We had the lamb chops when we went for the (super professional, beautiful, immaculate) tasting and fell in love. We knew everyone would love them, and we were right! The shrimp cocktail was divine, and we also had the shrimp aguachile shooters because we couldn’t decide between the two. Grilled cheese, bruschetta, and caprese skewers were also a hit because they were so easy to eat at a cocktail hour and tasted delicious.

On top of that, Chef Nicole saved our wedding multiple times before it even happened. Any time we asked for something (renting linens, silverware, extra servers), she was quick to respond and provided anything we needed. We even texted her at 11pm the night before the rehearsal dinner because we figured out our chargers were broken. Her chargers were rented out that weekend, but she tracked some down and brought them to the wedding. The day of our event, she was on time, professional, and provided amazing staff.

We can’t emphasize enough how lucky we felt to have found Cave Catering. We will definitely be hiring them again for our next event.

“Worked with Catered by Raquel for a nonprofit event in Los Angeles, and I can’t recommend them enough. Cynthia, the coordinator, was absolutely incredible, patient, flexible, and truly understanding as our budget and programming shifted. Her team not only delivered delicious food and drinks, but also brought a warm, positive energy that elevated the entire event. An outstanding vendor all around. I’m looking forward to working with them again in the future!

Pro tip: Don’t miss the ceviche, it’s a must!“

“The chef ( and his wife) are GREAT PEOPLE! They are very professional and the food is EXCELLENT!!! Check them out today!!!!!“

“We recently had the pleasure of having their service at our luncheon. The pasta bar was delicious and the servers were the best They were on time , set up quickly and was fast and friendly on the clean up for us to conduct our meeting. Thanks for your help in our behalf.Rose M. F., Past VP for # 5019.“

“Today was my 1st time here but most definitely won’t be my last. I ordered the delicious turkey taco. I can’t wait to try more. Next up is a the 7-layer dip, which happens to be one of my favorites! I also had the pleasure of meeting the owner of this nice establishment. She was very welcoming and helpful. Great vibes and food. You will not be disappointed!“

“I highly recommended El Gallo Giro for the best carne asada burrito“

“The food is next level. The heart behind City Catering is to serve the city.“

“Stay on top of the best that Long Beach has to offer with Long Beach Home + Living!“

“One of my favorite catering and pop up food companies in LA! They do a Saturday event in front of sold out society thrift store in the fashion district on Saturday's downtown LA! Highly recommended spot for their rotating menu with healthy plates. ??“

“Has become a usual weekend dinner spot , amazing food cooked by amazing people. I have tried almost every cut of meat and they don’t disappoint. The kalbi ribs is my favorite but if you like spicy get the spicy pork. Another fave is the bulgogi and pork belly. They give a good amount of food for the price. Always fresh! Check them out. And support your local small business. See you guys next week!“

“Best BBQ In the city. Mac is Fire, my favorite side. he b running out tho. but order it and u shall receive“

“I had my wedding banquet in my backyard, and we picked Pimenta because they are really transparent that they don't have an extra charge on the invoice - only what they mentioned on the website. It's also because my partner stays in Brazil some of the time, and we were engaged in Brazil, too, so we wanted to have a Brazilian BBQ at the party. And I could tell the taste is the same as in Brazil! Pimenta is owned by a Brazilian couple, Marcelo and Maria, and my partner informed me that they speak Portuguese to each other. So it's really authentic!

Premium BBQ Combo
Appetizers: Classic Chicken Coxinhas, Cheese bread (Pao de Queijo) On-Site Grilled BBQ: Premium Picanha Steak, Toscana Sausage, Chicken Party Wings, Grilled Shrimp
Buffet Salad: Tropical Salad, Brazilian Vinaigrette
Buffet Hot Sides: White Rice, Black Beans, Tomato Penne, Mixed Veggies
Dessert: Pudim

The food was all incredibly tasty and amusing. All of my friends, family members, my colleagues, and even my boss enjoyed the food so much!!!

We were a little bit worried because they didn't provide a tasting session, but the food is truly amazing, better than what we imagined. And the portion is so big that we couldn't finish the food with 36 guests! Marcelo and Maria are great, too. Easy to work with. We will find them once again if we host big events again! Definitely recommended!“

“Love all the bopomofo cafes, I have to go every time I visit SoCal and every friend / family member Ive brought loves it, they use the freshest ingredients and have cool seasonal items like a scallion pancake wrapped chicken supreme wrap, guava matcha. You cant go wrong with the pineapple chicken sandwich, the strawberry corn drink, the shrimp walnut sandwich, etc. I love this place so much, the chicken is always very juicy. The employees are so nice and this place has wifi and a nice work space. Its also nice for dates and has a chill vibe (saw some people having their first dates here)“

“I really love The Grand Long Beach forever! 🥰❤💖“

“My boyfriend and I came here here on New Year’s Day. So many restaurants closed, they were open so we decided to try a new place. He ordered the Cubana Torta and I had the quesabirria tacos. Food was really tasty and the portions are big! Service is great and staff is very friendly. My one suggestion would be to provide a larger portion of consumé for the tacos since the tacos are so big. Overall great place. Highly recommend !“

“Franco's is a wonderful place to go and support. The staff is always friendly, food is always great, and they are open for lunch on the weekend! Pizza is great. Sauce has a fantastic flavor, dough is fresh and cooked just right. All of the pasta dishes are done right, and the chicken parm is the best!“

“Kit & Kaboodle are the best!!!“

“Prices are very reasonable, friendly and professional family business. They catered my wedding and I've used their services 5 times since then... wont go anywhere else. They are very flexible with the menu and have a variety of options.“

“Delicious chicken nachos, flautas, and chilequiles burritos!“

“Me encanta su Servicio, muy amables la comida deliciosa sirven rápido me gusta mucho este Restaurante se los recomiendo al 💯.“

“Delicious food, I love the shish kebabs & rice! 😋“

“Worked here a few weeks before COVID lockdowns happened in late March of 2020, flights cancelled at a rate of 90% is what I was told a week prior to the lock downs began. It was an ok work place, worked in the area where you put gummy bears, chips etc in the trays that fit into the carts. I'm not sure if it's a continued practice or not to this day but when I was there we repackaged any food that was unopened over and over again, much of the same food's been on multiple flight's.“

“Their breakfast burritos are delicious!“

“really good ice cream :) I looovee the Thai tea one!“

“Our wedding was on October 20, 2018 and the decorations and setting came out as my fiancé expected and actually exceeded them. Let me tell you, Carlos and his team are such professionals that they took a major load off our backs mainly my fiancé. We sat down with Carlos At his office a year prior to our wedding and he asked us what we’re looking for and he had his pen and paper noting everything down. Months passed and we again met with Carlos this time at the South End hall for the food tasting and he didn’t disappoint....the food was amazing and our guests told us after the wedding how much they loved food. We again met with Carlos and his daughter Karla and they showed us the table setting with the colors my fiancé wanted and she loved it since that’s what she envisioned. We wanted custom chairs for our sweetheart table and Carlos went above and beyond to get them for us. We couldn’t wait to see the final product and the day of the wedding we were amazed!!! Oh and the cocktail hour setting and appetizers were a major plus as well. For those out there reading these reviews, look no further. Trust me, you won’t be disappointed and with his help along with his family and his other staff, you’re planning will be not as stressful. Just as long as you provide him with details as to what your looking for and envision on your big day, Carlos can make it happen. Thank you Carlos, Karla and everyone single one of his staff member for their amazing help!!!!!!“

“My husband Dr.Marcial López surprised me for my birthday with an excellent catering service dinner . They arrived early to set up. The food was excellent and everything was fresh . I am very satisfied with their food and their professionalism. All my guest were impressed with the dinner . I will hire them for my mom’s birthday. Thank you hubby for an amazing dinner present . I totally recommend them 👍“

“We hired Jill's Catering for our daughter's wedding held in our backyard Jill brought in help for preparing serving and bartending for the event. The food was an Italian feast that was perfectly cooked and tasted delicious. We have nearly 90 guests, so this was no small task, Jill offered excellent suggestions for our menu choices including delicious appetizers (antipasti skewers, crabcakes and phyllo cups filled goat cheese) and hearty entrees (chicken parmagiana tenders, basil cream farfalle with sun-dried tomatoes and artichoke hearts and penne with a marinara sauce with sausage and a layer of ricotta (like a deconstructed lasagne). Although the event was held outside on an extremely windy day, the food and service help certainly helped make up for that setback,“

“Managing a small party in La Mirada with their chocolate fountain setup. Great spread and amazing selections. Great fresh fruits. A favorite among the guests.“

“Never again - liars, cheats, etc. dont book them - Dont trust them - they lie! And sadly for elementary students they lie and then last minute cancel but then call back and say they will take job?n?b?b? What is up with that!!! Do NOT bother - untrustworthy and disrespectful. Go with las guajalotas LA sooooo good and lovely humans“
