50 Best Caterers near Bethesda

“I loved their meals since my first encounter at the end of 2019. The soba noddle is to die for!“

“the ribs had that fresh out the smoke test.this was the first time I have had their food👍👍👍. My friends were impressed too.“

“Ridgewell's never disappoints. Have used them for several functions over the past 3 decades, most recently last Saturday, July 18th, for 65th birthday party held at Washington Ferrari Dealership in Sterling, VA. Claire, Macy and Flor provided excellent service from start to finish, and their servers and bartenders did an outstanding job. Wonderful food, drinks, and impeccable service. Will be using them again soon.“

“The sandwiches are pretty amazing. Quality of ingredients is high and, most important, they taste great.

This is a counter-serve establishment, and the service is reasonably quick which is important as the food is so good I don't want to wait long. Seating is limited.

The atmosphere is charming in a straightforward, unpretentious way. There is music which doesn't detract from the ability to carry on a conversation.

I'll be back the next time I'm in town“

“It’s always a treat to get a Deli Combo when in Bethesda! Been going here since I was a kid!“

“We usually get takeout from here but I got a chance to eat inside the other day and it was such a great experience! Very welcoming and homey vibe inside. The pho was delicious as per usual and the Mama’s chicken rolls are my favorite. I always add the lemongrass paste to my pho! Music was an added bonus too“

“We contacted Saint Germain Catering with just a few weeks notice before our event and they were able to deliver delicious, high-end hors d’oeuvres for our event that were exactly what we needed and what we had in mind! We got so many great comments on the food during the event. Thanks for helping make our event such a success! 💕“

“Jaliyaa serves absolute top tier matcha 😋😋 I recommend the desert chai and if you like something sweeter get strawberry matcha! The truck is usually in the Howard area during the school year but in the summer they have a cutesy pop up in dupont circle“

“The service was amazing and Diana was my waitress she was so nice“

“Best Wedding Food EVER!! Delicious, gorgeous, impeccable service! We hired Corcoran for our catering, alcohol, wedding cake, and all of our rentals. They built the most incredible menu for us and the food was the most delicious wedding food I have ever tasted! Everyone at our wedding was blown away by both the food and the service. Emelie is a dream to work with and was so responsive to changes and questions. She sought out rentals to ensure my exact vision came to life. Her team is amazing and everyone who was on site was so friendly, helpful, and professional. I cannot say enough good things about Corcoran! If you are considering the as your caterer - DO IT! You cannot go wrong! Emelie went above and beyond to honor our requests. From having the chef learn a new recipe to honor our brother who passed away, to having alcohol free sauces made for our sober guests, I was blown away with her service and ability to accommodate any request! I don't have all of my photos back yet, so just sharing a couple showing the rentals which all came from Corcoran.“

“We ordered a 45 lb.whole Lechon last Wednesday to celebrate passing our state survey with zero deficiencies at our two assisted living home in Potomac, MD, as well as a few staff birthdays, including our owner's.

​They did not disappoint! From the very start, communication with the owner, Rose, was smooth sailing and top-notch. Since it was our first time ordering, she kindly offered free delivery.😘

​The Lechon arrived perfectly on time, still warm, with skin that was incredibly crunchy. It also came with two bottles of their delicious homemade sauce that complemented the roast perfectly.

Everyone was rave reviewing the food, and it made our double celebration truly special.
​We can't wait to place our next order. Give 5 Star from scratch catering a call for your next party they are definitely a 10-star business in our book!“

“The grazing table created for my son’s wedding was absolutely exceptional! From the moment we saw it, we were blown away by how beautifully everything was arranged. Every detail was thoughtfully presented, elegant, and perfectly suited for such a special occasion.

The selection was incredible—everything was fresh, delicious, abundant, and beautifully displayed. Our guests could not stop complimenting it, both on how stunning it looked and how wonderful everything tasted.

It truly became one of the highlights of the wedding and added such a beautiful touch to our celebration. The care, creativity, and attention to detail were evident in every part of the presentation.

We couldn’t have been happier and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for an elegant and unforgettable grazing table for a wedding or special event. Thank you Amaan for helping make our son’s wedding even more memorable! ❤“

“Made with Love catered my housewarming party this year. I had more than enough food and drinks, AND a bartender provided by the company as well. My project was within budget, and came out beautifully. Everyone had a great time, and we DESTROYED the Jerk chicken wings.“

“My family and I first tried Gingerbeet at a pop up event and were in heaven!! Every single thing on the brunch menu was absolutely delicious. Even one of my family members that doesn’t eat plant-based regularly loved the food and often asks when we will eat it again lol. What I love most is that the food is made with good, quality, Whole Foods and is NOT vegan junk food. Everything is made from scratch, soy free, and gluten free and made with high quality herbs and spices. That is so rare to find from a restaurant and/or caterer. It’s so nice to have someone with the same values and motives cook for you for once! Lol anyways, my husband threw me a 30th birthday party and immediately knew we had to cater gingerbeet. The menu is so extensive it was so hard to choose. We ended up with the waffles & cauliflower, greens, corn bread, mac and cheese, crab cake sliders, Rasta pasta, sweet plantains, apple pie, and cheesecake. Everything was delicious. Almost everyone at the party are not plant-based and they loved the food. Jenny & her partner were so great. Great vibes, attention to detail, ave just overall amazing. I cannot wait to have Gingerbeet cater something for us again. Absolutely worth every penny! Definitely must try whenever they do a pop up or for your own catered event!! Thank you so much!!“

“Let me start out by saying that outside of picking food, my husband and I really wanted no part in wedding planning after we got engaged. The whole process seemed overwhelming at best, and we had no idea where to start. At the same time, we wanted our wedding reception to reflect us as a couple, and for all of our friends and family to have a great time. I had known Vicky since middle school and was a frequent at her family's restaurant in Springfield, so I was thrilled to find out that she has started her own catering and event styling company. From the moment we hired Vicky and her team, they just got it. We sent a few Pinterest pictures and discussed our love for Southern food, and Vicky really took it from there. She knew exactly what we were envisioning with little to no direction. Literally everything that the Heirloom team put together, starting with the personal tasting for my husband and parents, to the flower arrangements, tablescapes and small details was nothing short of amazing. The entire staff was completely professional and never missed a beat. I should also mention that there was a pretty bad ice storm the morning of our wedding, which apparently flipped one of the rental trucks and left other vendors stranded, only hours before our event. Vicky sprung into action and not only made sure that everything was on time and in perfect condition, I didn't even HEAR about the whole ordeal until after the night was over. I truly don't think we would have even had a wedding had we hired any other company. Seriously, if you want the BEST FOOD (we STILL have people raving about it to us) and the most beautiful event you've ever hosted-look no further!! Heirloom DC is worth their weight in gold!!“

“We've used this company twice and it has been fantastic each time. Food is amazing and the staff is fantastic.“

“😍I have to take a moment to give B. Lin Catering (DC) their flowers—because WOW. They catered my daughter’s Sweet 16, and I’m honestly still thinking about the food. I can’t decide who loved it more: the teenage girls (with their very sophisticated palates, thank you very much 😄) or my husband. The birthday girl felt like a true princess, the sleepover was a hit, and the food? Gone. Quickly. The flavor is indescribable. The chipotle chicken was incredibly tender, and the chimichurri skirt steak literally melted in your mouth. Multiple girls said, unprompted, “This is way better and much more flavorful than Chipotle.” When teenagers agree on something, you know it’s real. It should honestly be a crime to make meat, chips, guac, and corn salsa taste that good. Shout-out to the delivery driver too—early, professional, friendly, and even gave helpful tips on how to set everything up. Those little touches make a huge difference when you’re hosting a house full of teenagers. If you’re in DC and need catering for a birthday, family event, or just because you want your guests to talk about the food long after it’s gone—B. Lin Catering is it. We’ll definitely be ordering again. Highly, highly recommend.“

“We had smoke Datt cater my job’s Christmas party it was Fantastic everything was awesome I highly recommend. They were on time the food was hot and let’s not forget the taste was fantastic. We will definitely use them every year. !!!!!!!“

“RSVP catered my daughter's bridal shower and everything was exactly what I had hoped for. Their team communicated with me frequently, the menu options were plentiful, pricing was appropriate, the staff was genuinely kind and professional and the food was delicious! Thank you RSVP for making my daughter's special day seamless, stress free and perfect!“

“The food was absolutely delicious, and the flavors were perfectly balanced. Many guests commented on how amazing the salmon and chicken entrees were! The staff was incredibly professional and attentive, handling everything with a smile and were efficient, and made they really made the entire event stress-free for me. Everything was also presented beautifully, and the birthday cake I purchased for the event, was placed so perfectly that it was almost too pretty to eat. Thank you so much for making my wife's birthday / retirement celebration memorable!“

“I highly recommend Green Plate Catering. They catered our wedding and it was exactly what we were looking for! From the mushroom appetizers, pasta with pesto, roasted vegetables, polenta with white beans and chard, to the chocolate dipped strawberries and galaxy bars, everything was so delicious! We wanted vegan, organic and gluten-free and Green Plate delivered! Our guests are still talking about the fantastic food! The presentation was beautiful and Kit, Ryan and their staff are a delight! Thank you Green Plate Catering!“

“Shout out to Big Moe's Catering!! They catered our work luncheon, with all of the Covid protocols that made it much easier for us. Each staff member had individual meals with a dessert. The turkey wings, fried chicken, salmon, pork chops, masked potato's, greens, string beans, and mac n cheese were delicious. Every one had an empty container. The food was delivered on time and the communication was excellent. I would order from them again.“

“We were thrilled to have Q Caterers provide food and decor for our business celebration. They were diligent, prompt, and professional throughout the planning and execution. The food was exceptional, and we received numerous compliments from our guests. Best of all, Carlos was personally involved in making sure that everything from our menu choices, to the decor, and the service that evening was taken care of perfectly. All our guests felt like V.I.Ps, and, as hosts, we were able to enjoy the event ourselves too, since we were in such capable hands. We highly recommend Q Caterers for all your special event needs; you will not be disappointed.“

“Well Dunn blew us away at a recent Fathom Gallery 14th Street wedding! Pulling off a seamless transition from ceremony seating to a fully set dining room—all during a single cocktail hour—is no small feat. Their team moved like clockwork, ensuring the energy in the bar and roof deck remained relaxed and fun while completely resetting the gallery. We can't wait to welcome Well Dunn back soon at any of our Fathom Gallery locations!“

“We visit whenever we’re in DC for work. The food is always terrific. Paul from Austria was our server last weekend… he had such joy and positive energy ☀️ We’ll be back soon!“

“Relish really is the very best. Amazing food and fabulous customer service!“

“The food was five star ! It was presented beautifully ! And I really enjoyed it throughly ! It’s so nice to be able to have healthy options and that was my favorite thing about the meals that we ordered ! Would highly recommend for anyone and definitely will order again sometime soon. Best meal I have had in a while ! Thank you !“

“There are no gluten free options on the menu. The very friendly staff very kindly created a Philly Cheese Steak plate so I could avoid eating the bun. It was delicious and included the lettuce, tomatoes, and mayo as a side plate so I could add them at my discretion. I highly recommend Sam's Kitchen!“

“Oh my, 1st time ordering from meal prep service, expectations were neutral. 3 meals in now and I was moved to leave a review. Excellent! Food Selection, Customer Service & Flavor/Taste �.“

“We used the BBQ Bus for a work event this past week and they did a great job! The food was hot, fresh and came out fast.They have been a pleasure to work with from the start of planning this event. We had to change dates due to Covid and the owners worked with us. Excellent customer service.We will be using them again!“

“This is the second time we have experienced cookies from Sweet Dreams. Karissa creates the most incredible sweet treats. Here’s the best part, you think each cookie is good, until you try the next one which is even better. Absolutely will be back again- absolutely delicious“

“Long overdue review - Top of the City catered my wedding in 2018 and they did an AMAZING job. To this day, our guests still comment on how delicious the food was and how beautiful the tables looked. The service was fantastic. We loved that it’s a family run business and it was super affordable which is difficult to find in NoVA. They were so great to work with and I highly recommend them to anyone who needs a caterer. Seriously, the food was delish!“

“I don’t even know where to start when it comes to Shamim and the team at Lotus Productions. They planned my engagement party this past Saturday, and everything was beyond perfect. I have very high standards (I’m definitely a perfectionist), and they somehow managed to exceed every single one. The team handled every detail effortlessly, and they even thought of things I hadn’t considered—little personal touches that made the night feel extra special. We had around 90 guests, and I’ve been hearing nonstop compliments about the party ever since. From the music to the food to the overall atmosphere, everything was flawless. And a special shout out to the bartender Israel who had the most wonderful attitude and never let the volume of requests get to him. Not to mention his cocktails were *chef’s kiss* On a more personal level, Shamim personally made me feel so at ease the whole night. I could feel the genuine care he had about me and my party. It’s a rare feeling because I don’t know many people who can say they feel totally ease despite so much going on all in their name And it was all at an incredibly reasonable price for what you got. I did a ton of research before choosing Lotus, and honestly, the value they offer for the level of service they provide is unmatched. I can’t recommend Shamim and his team enough. If you’re planning an event, take my (as an under the radar person who never posts reviews unless she means it) word for it —just book Lotus. You’ll be so glad you did.“

“We had a phenomenal experience with Good Food Company for my Dad's celebration of life this weekend. My sister said Bruce was very easy to work with and his team crafted this beautiful charcuterie board. It was beautiful and delicious! We highly recommend them for any of your needs, big or small! Ours contained nuts, olives, dried figs, dried apricots, fresh pears, fresh berries and grapes, tons of crackers and crisps, huge portions of a variety of gourmet cheese and meats, and a massive amt of tortellini.“

“During the consultation, food selection, and presentation, Palette Dome Cuisine consistently exceeded expectations. Even for a group not accustomed to healthful eating, PDC offered fresh, all-natural choices that were a total hit. Thanks to them, I received countless compliments from family and friends on the fantastic food. PDC truly knows how to craft a memorable dining experience, and I'll be using their services exclusively in the future.“

“My sisters and I worked with TasteLife Catering for our parents' 50th wedding anniversary celebration. The client service was seamless from start to finish. From initial contact through post-event follow-up, the chef and team were responsive, thoughtful, and gracious.

TasteLife partners with CW's Pomp 'n Circumstance to offer complete catering service. Our anniversary celebration was fantastic! The menu was excellent; delicious and generously portioned.

The team that worked our event were efficient, incredibly easy to work with, and ensured that we could focus on the celebration itself and enjoy. I cannot recommend TasteLife Catering highly enough.“

“The professional staff was great. They took my order and it was delivered exactly when they said it would be. The best part of course is that the food was delicious! 👍“
