40 Best Caterers in Tampa

“I recently worked on a production set that was catered by this company. I was very impressed not only by the quality and taste of the food but how well it was all packaged. Each order was individually and thoughtfully packaged for us. Their experience was evident and showed even in the smallest details. I highly recommend this company.“

“I used 3 C’s as my caterer for my wedding this weekend and the food was delicious!!!! Everything was set up amazing and they were totally fine with my intimate party of 30. Other caterers wanted to charge me more. They were VERY affordable. Seriously, I can’t stop thinking about the food. Thank you so much for taking care of me and my guests! I couldn’t recommend them more!!“

“Olympia is amazing! Achieva Credit Union thanks you for making our employee celebration party a huge success. The food was incredible! And the staff always goes above and beyond! Definitely our partner for all parties! Thank you!“

“We recently had our Wedding at The West Events and used Catering by the Family. We worked with Sandra and she was so wonderful and helpful with creating our menu for cocktail hour and dinner - which was a combination of buffet and stations. Our guests were telling us how excellent the food was all night! The passed apps were abundant and delicious and the biggest hits at dinner were the roasted veggies, planked salmon and beef tenderloin stations. We were very happy with the staff and service as they we’re 100% on top of everything. Thanks to everyone for helping make our night perfect !“

“Great food, just had our 2nd catering, Christmas for this one, Thanksgiving was so good we had to call them back. Delivery and setup were great, food was wonderful and our staff loved it which is why we had them back for seconds.“

“This is by far the most amazing juicy flavorful brisket I ever had in my entire life!!!!“

“Our experience with Gaston’s Culinary Services for my husband’s 75th birthday party was absolutely amazing, exceeding all our expectations!! Our guests raved over the pan seared salmon with mango salsa, bourbon chicken, chive mashed potatoes, and the southern style green beans. The spinach & artichoke dip appetizer was also a big hit. The presentation was beautiful, adding a special touch to the celebration! Kathy was very patient in the planning process. She made it easy and eliminated a lot of stress for me. The other staff: Chef Joi, Danyell and Fabiola were very professional, friendly and went above and beyond to ensure that the party was a big success! Chef Gaston even came to oversee and make sure everything was perfect! We highly recommend Gatson Caterers for any event… they are truly exceptional.“

“Great place with friendly people, smiles and the best ice cream.“

“Absolutely amazing service, presentation and food. I can’t say enough about the best catering service I have had the pleasure of working with. Our daughters wedding weekend started with the welcome cocktail reception in downtown tampa and ended with a delicious brunch on our “Caddyshack” yacht. 5 plus stars for every aspect of their catering service! I highly recommend them for any of your catering needs.“

“We had an absolutely amazing experience working with Catering by Robert! From start to finish, their team went above and beyond to ensure our event was seamless, beautiful, and stress-free.
Susan was incredible during the planning process—she was organized, responsive, and always available to answer our questions or make adjustments as needed. She helped us customize our menu, coordinate bar services, and handle every logistical detail with care and confidence.
On the day of the event, Maryn managed every detail with calm professionalism, making sure everything ran smoothly behind the scenes so we could enjoy the day without any worries. The service staff was friendly, efficient, and attentive, and the food and drinks were absolutely delicious. Our guests are still raving about the presentation and quality.
We can’t thank the team enough for making our event so memorable. Highly recommend for anyone looking for top-notch catering with expert coordination and personalized service!“

“Lauren and the entire Good Food Events + Catering team are awesome! I worked with them recently for a client's wedding at Station House St Pete. The client was SO happy, and I was very impressed with how great their food and service was. I will definitely be working with them in the future to fulfill clients' wedding day dream needs!“

“First time here today. Food is delicious! My new spot!“

“YOUR FOOD AND CREW WERE AWESOME! I have always recommended and supported this business but this was the first time I've used your services personally. From beginning to end your team made sure I had nothing to worry about and could not have been more professional. The only thing I'd do differently next time is let you all handle to beverages lol! I don't normally spend big money, but if I do, this how I prefer to spend and y'all made it worth it. The party was a big success and I can't thank you enough.“

“I hired Tampa Bay Food Truck to cater my neighborhood Halloween Party. This was my first time using a Food truck for a party I was hosting. Tisha Penzato the Sales and Account Manager set me all up through phone calls, emails and texts. She made it so easy to book the event and she was very thorough throughout the process.
The guys in the Food truck showed up on time and served my halloween party with no issues. I picked mexican themed food and it was a hit at the party! The food was delicious, hot, and served quickly! I would highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a food truck company to cater an event you’re hosting. I know I will definitely hire them again for upcoming events!“

“The food here is just simply amazing. everything is well. seasoned great portions and you won't be disappointed. Their empanadas are literally the best I've ever had. If you're in the mood for some good Spanish food or just a great breakfast, this is this place.“

“Attended the ELCHC Summit yesterday, and Puff n' Stuff was the catering team. I was incredibly impressed with the level of service and care they took overall, as well as with the preparation of separate meals for my food allergies. Very well done and appreciated!“

“Food and staff are equally amazing!!!“

“I am an event planner and have worked with Tastes of Tampa Bay several times. Their food is always delicious and their presentation is always gorgeous. They always have a positive attitude and are willing to go above and beyond for my clients.“

“Stopped by this brisket shop and wow — I’m still thinking about it! I ordered the double meat plate with double brisket, and it did not disappoint. Every slice was packed with flavor — some lean cuts that were tender and smoky, and others with just the right amount of fat that melted in your mouth. The bark was perfectly seasoned, and the smoke ring? Chef’s kiss. 💨 The sides deserve their own shoutout — the mac and cheese was creamy, cheesy, and topped with that golden crust, the kind that makes you go back for seconds. And let’s not forget the soft roll and the tangy pickled onions that added the perfect contrast to the rich brisket. I even dipped a piece of brisket into their barbecue sauce, and it took things to the next level. This spot is a must-visit for any BBQ lover. If you’re thinking about going — do it. Highly recommend the double brisket!“

“Had the taco trio; pork beef and brisket. “Shia la Beef” (brisket) was my favorite but all were fantastic! Chips and queso were bland to me but I added pico and ate with my tacos. Ah-mazing nonalcoholic horchata and great friendly staff that took care to avoid my avocado allergy. Wonderful 🤌“

“estoy adicto al brisket sándwich . 🔥🔥😋🍽 esta riquísimo.“

“I booked with this Chef over the past weekend & I couldn’t have been more happier with the services I received!From our initial conversation to the delivery of the food, Chef EB was extremely professional, punctual and super helpful! (She even assisted me with brainstorming a menu) - which was absolutely delicious!Chef also arrived & set up earlier than the scheduled time!I’m so glad I choose EBBY Bites & appreciate the phenomenal service!“

“Cindy did the most wonderful job!! My daughter wanted a very low key wedding, however I wanted it to be perfect! We put all the food in their hands, down to the wedding cake!! I cannot say enough good! She always returned my calls within minutes, when I was going crazy! The food was delicious!! Really better that delish if that is possible!! Very highly recommend!!“

“Meth these skilled caterers at two different events and amazed by the food BOTH times. Tacos were awesome but the CUBAN sandwiches…freshly made to order and pressed to perfection. NOT your average or typical offerings. Get them for your gig while you still can! 5 Star ⭐️“

“We enjoyed a fantastic experience from this catering company. Damian was on top of it all the way from planning to execution. He was thorough and professional, and willing to adapt to our changing shoot schedule. Our clients raved about the sandwiches and sides. Always a pleasure to find folks who are doing great work out in the world. Thanks Damian, and Sulzbacher.“

“Love this place!! Everything I’ve ever bought there has been amazing! And the fresh made bread 🥖 is out of this world!“

“A very nice owner and Marlene and Ben are awesome too. Delicious food that we are anxious to get back to after this Corona virus outbreak. Go in and check them out.“

“Delicious tacos 🌮 and margaritas 🍹!“

“Ghada and Lutfi and the entire Dash of Salt and Pepper team are absolutely amazing. I could not be more thankful to them all for such great quality food and impeccable service. They catered my son's 1st birthday party and our guests could not stop talking about how amazing the food was. If you want amazing food and incredible service they are the company to use!“

“Catered our mother’s memorial and did a fantastic job, even with our peanut-free and ginger-free needs. I was so thankful they could pull it all together so quickly and provide such excellent service for 100. Everyone loved the food. Fantastic! Highly recommended!“

“AMAZING!! Chef Jorge cooked the most wonderful meal for our family last night in celebration of my mother’s birthday. He bought everything fresh the day of, and served us a 7 course dinner. Everything tasted delicious and was exactly to our specifications. It was so nice having the relaxing environment of our home rather than going to a steakhouse. I have small kids so it was wonderful when they got bored to just send them to another room to watch a movie rather than an embarrassing melt down at Ruth Chris etc. also, nice to be able to serve our own wine and not pay inflated restaurant prices! I highly, highly recommend. My parents want him over every week! Thanks Chef Jorge!“

“so good!! definitely will come back.“

“They Are Amazing Great Food And Great Staff😃“

“Chef Gabriel and Jacquelyn were amazing. They both communicated effectively before my event. I held a birthday party for 20 people. My mother was extremely happy with the service that was provided by the both of them. The food was to die for! I've never hired a private chef before, so for this being my first experience I was very please. I will definitely use Chef Gabriel in the future!“

“Always a great meal, everyone that visits us from out of town we bring here and they love it also. Thank you guys for all that you do.“

“them oxtails and meatloaf is the real deal.“

“We had a big Brunch Celebration Party for my son's 35th, husband's 70th and house 100th Birthday and our 42nd wedding Anniversary. All the food from Joan's Catering was absolutely delicious, plentiful and beautifully presented! The two servers and bar tender could not have been more helpful and with it! High top tables and tableclothes came exactly when arranged. It is a rare experience to give praise that everything was Excellent!“

“Great place to go! Shae/Shay showed great and very friendly service! No complaints!“
