47 Best Caterers in Tampa

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

“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.“

“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!“

“Absolutely amazing! The paella was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor—everyone at our event loved it. The team was professional, friendly, and made the whole experience seamless. Highly recommend for any special occasion, and we will definitely be booking them again!“

“Every part of our experience with 3 C's deserves 5 stars. From the initial consultation with John, where he took my daughter's ideas & made them make sense. To the tasting that almost felt like we were just having lunch with friends. And then to the wedding itself. The food - 5 stars. We heard all night how good the food was from everyone. The setup & decor - 5 stars. It blended seamlessly with the venue. The staff - 10 stars. They went above & beyond to take care of not just the bride and groom, but the entire bridal party. Thank you to John, Evelyn, Kyle, Taylor, and the rest of the staff (I'm sorry I didn't get everyone's names!!) ... Thank you, thank you, thank you.“

“Wow! We had two food trucks (2 Rowdy Roosters and The Chief's Cantina) at our school's Prom. The kids absolutely loved it. They provided great options, the delicious food, and everyone we interacted with was kind and helpful. Kim was a pleasure to work with to coordinate the truck and menu options. We will definitely book them for a future event!“

“We had the pleasure of working with Darren and his team for our cocktail hour and reception. We were blown away by their attention to detail. The lead of our wedding made sure my husband and I always had a drink in our hand was fed. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding day.“

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

“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 🤌“

“We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience for our wedding! They flawlessly catered for 150 people, and everything exceeded our expectations. The food was absolutely amazing and our guests are still raving about it. The hors d’oeuvres were plentiful and beautifully presented, and I’m still dreaming about the coconut shrimp!

The grazing table was such a perfect touch and added an elegant, inviting feel to the cocktail hour. The dinner service was seamless. The food came out quickly, was fresh, and tasted incredible.

We are so thankful for the team’s attention to detail, professionalism, and hard work throughout both the planning process and the day of the event. They truly helped make our wedding unforgettable. Highly, highly recommend!“

We’re so grateful for your partnership in helping us create a wonderful experience for our guests, all in support of saving more lives. With heartfelt thanks, SPCA Florida“

“Susan and the team at Catering by Roberts were absolutely incredible! From the very beginning, Susan was so much more than just our caterer—she was an invaluable resource throughout our entire wedding planning process. She took the time to answer questions, guide us through decisions, and even recommended other vendors, which made planning so much less stressful.

One thing we especially appreciated was being able to attend tastings before finalizing our menu. It was incredibly helpful and gave us confidence that we were choosing the perfect options for our wedding. The variety of food available was amazing, and everything we selected was absolutely delicious.

We received countless compliments from our guests about the food all night long. Many people told us it was some of the best wedding food they had ever had! The quality, presentation, and flavor exceeded our expectations.

We are so grateful to Susan and her team for their hard work, professionalism, and support throughout the entire process. They played a huge role in making our wedding day so special, and we cannot recommend Catering by Roberts highly enough!“

“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!“

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

“EVE Catering provided the entrees for our family Memorial Day gathering. The entrees were blue cheese burgers and BBQ chicken. The burgers were so good I was only able to get 1. My sons made sure any remaining burgers were devoured. I was able to get more than 1 piece of chicken. To coin a chicken phrase, each piece I was fortunate to have was finger-licking good. I am looking forward to the next time my mouth and tongue are fortunate enough to partake of food from EVE's Catering.“

“Delicious tacos 🌮 and margaritas 🍹!“

“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 hired Puff 'n Stuff for our wedding on 6/26 and they absolutely exceeded our expectations. From start to finish the whole experience was 10/10. We worked with Courtney and she was so nice and patient with our changes and accommodating our budget. When booking a caterer it was extremely important to us to find one that wasn't 'boring wedding food' and WOW was this food extraordinary!! All of our guests raved about the food and service and will be talking about it for years to come! Definitely book Puff 'n Stuff for your wedding or event!“

“Latam was our food caterer for our wedding and we could not be more pleased. Denise was such a pleasure to work with and incredibly accommodating for all of our needs. Everyone mentioned how the good the food was at the wedding and we were so happy to have selected such a good caterer to support our day. Would recommend Latam Catering to anyone looking for an event caterer.“

“Fire Up Halal is an absolute gem. I’ve eaten here several times now, and the food is consistently superb. Everything is fresh, flavorful, and cooked perfectly — you can really tell they care about quality and consistency. The staff is excellent: friendly, welcoming, and genuinely attentive without being rushed. They’re happy to answer questions and make sure your order is exactly right, which makes the experience even better. The restaurant itself is spotless and well-maintained, which always matters to me. Clean, organized, and comfortable — it’s a place you actually enjoy sitting down and eating.

Highly recommend the double brisket!“

“The food is DELICIOUS you guys must try it😋😋😋“

“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 ⭐️“

“Amazing fresh food, amazing staff, amazing work. Our office loves catering from Inside the Box. Ray is outstanding when it comes to getting our food taken care of. We really love supporting our community of Tampa Bay and ordering from them does just that. Highly recommend Inside the Box!“

“I'd been wanting to order food from here for years. Just never did. I reached out when my daughter got married to inquire about "getting ready day of" food. Peggy had great ideas and even threw in some extras (she brought tea because I had lost my voice). Everything was delicious and plentiful. I will definitely order from here again.“

“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!!“

“Drove up from Brandon for lunch here. Very nice place and a huge buffet. Cheaper lunch during the week. I’m a long time Indian buffet eater. There’s not many places for an Indian Buffet left in Tampa.“

“I’ve been using Lynn and her team for over 5 years when an event big or small comes up. She works to create the best experience possible, no matter your budget. I would highly recommend her team“

“Chef Cristian was AMAZING! He cooked the best Korean meal for me and my husband. He did a fantastic job with explaining everything to us, and his personality was amazing. This was such a great experience that we won’t forget.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“them oxtails and meatloaf is the real deal.“

“The most beautiful tea service! This is my second year working with The Empress Tea Room for a 100+ attendee event, and it was another exceptional experience. The presentation is beautiful -- an eclectic mix of tea cups, saucers, and glassware. The tea trays are packed with the most delicious finger sandwiches, scones, and fruit. Not to mention, Kim and her team are so friendly, professional, and hard-working. They really bring an event to life. I would highly recommend booking this business for your next event or tea party. I will be giving them a call next year when I host this annual fundraiser again!“

“I highly recommend! We had family over for Thanksgiving and they all raved about how great the food was. Very easy to order, delivered on time, incredible service!“

“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!“
