“We had Chef T cater our son’s baptism. My husband and I couldn’t be happier with the quality and quantity of the food provided — and everyone was raving about it! There was not a single item that I wish I had not chosen, and there were so many more options that we are excited to try in the future. The ordering process was easy and Chef T is extremely friendly. Thank you for helping make our son’s special day even better!“

“really excellent food“

“There are simply not enough words to describe our joy and gratitude for having our wedding at Crystal Plaza. From the moment we stepped into the Grand Ballroom, we knew without a doubt this was the place. It is hands down the most stunning ballroom we have ever seen — elegant, timeless, and unlike anything else.

The entire team at Crystal Plaza was a dream to work with. Their professionalism was unmatched, and they clearly listened to and respected every request we made. The service throughout the process, and especially on the wedding day, was absolutely first class. Both the bride and groom were given personal attendants who took care of us every step of the way, making sure we had everything we needed and could simply enjoy our day.

The food was phenomenal — even the “basic” offerings are first class and provide everything you could possibly want. Guests raved about the quality, variety, and presentation, and we felt like we were treated to a true fine-dining experience.
Beyond the ballroom, the ceremony space was just as incredible.

The glass-ceiling atrium created a naturally lit, romantic environment that made for the most beautiful ceremony. The lighting throughout Crystal Plaza — both in the ceremony space and the ballroom — is also top notch. Having a dedicated lighting engineer added a whole new dimension, transforming the ambience and elevating the entire experience.

The day-of experience was out of this world. Everything was seamless, elegant, and beyond anything we could have imagined. We will forever be grateful to Crystal Plaza for making our wedding day not just beautiful, but truly unforgettable.“

“Good afternoon FBF. Well I got about 2 hours of sleep and I am back at it again! I actually saved the most important thing that set this party aside from others... The biggest shout out to THE HANOVER MANOR. I want to thank the following individuals who made EVERYTHING possible for our events (Even our church's 180th Anniversary) Kudos to Angelo, John Tsanakos & Steve, all the staff and the maître d's for both occasions, I cannot thank you enough for all the accommodations you made that made each event spectacular. So if anyone needs a place to have an event, whether its your parents or your anniversary, weddings, birthday parties, family reunions or hell even a divorce party, I recommend The Hanover Manor in East Hanover, NJ located at 16 Eagle Rock Avenue. They are very reasonable. I appreciate Angelo, John & Steve because they appreciated me - no matter what! That is how a true business is ran. So hats off the everyone at The Hanover Manor. You have my vote for a few more celebrations in the near future! 🥰❤☺😄“

“Delivered on time and assisted with the set up. VERY generous portion sizes. We had BBQ chicken, chili, pulled pork, brisket as our protein. Sides of mac and cheese, coleslaw and pasta salad. The feed back from the community was excellent. Will recommend to order from American BBQ again in the future.“

“If there were more stars to post then 5, Michelle's Catering would definitely receive a Perfect 10! Michelle and Anthony were so easy to work with. Michelle took care of EVERYTHING. She accommodated special requests and made suggestions that worked very well for my event.

I held a bridal luncheon for my daughter mid August in my backyard. The food was amazing! Every guest commented on how delicious everything was; salads, sandwiches, the hot dishes and quiches; all wonderful! I can't forget the desserts! Perfect serving size for those trying not to over indulge but love a little sweet.

I can't thank Michelle's Catering enough for making my daughter's day a perfect event.“

“We recently celebrated our son's first birthday, and we couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional service and delicious food provided by Giuliano’s Catering Company. From the moment we reached out to them, their professionalism and attention to detail were evident, ensuring that our event would be nothing short of perfect. The menu they curated for us was outstanding. Every dish was not only beautifully presented but also incredibly tasty. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the variety and quality of the food. The grilled veggie platters were fresh and flavorful, the sandwiches were generously stuffed and impressively large, and the fruit platters were an absolute delight. Special mention to the Sloppy Joe’s Platter, which was a huge hit and had everyone coming back for seconds! Beyond the food, the team at Giuliano’s went above and beyond in their service. They were prompt, courteous, and truly attentive to our needs. Their staff handled set up seamlessly, allowing us to focus on the decorations and last minute details. They also took special care to accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences, which was greatly appreciated. Overall, Giuliano’s Catering Company exceeded our expectations in every way. Their dedication to excellence and passion for what they do were evident throughout the entire process. They played a significant role in making our son's first birthday a truly unforgettable experience. We highly recommend their services to anyone looking for top-notch catering for any occasion. Thank you to Bill & Michelle for making our celebration so special. We look forward to working with you again in the future!“

“Booked Ronnie's BBQ for my husband's 50th bbq in our backyard. This was probably the best decision we made. Ruben and Jose made hamburgers, hotdogs, sausage & peppers, & bbq chicken for our 100 guests and it was ALL deliciously cooked. From the time I booked to the day of the event, the service from Ronnie's was definitely more than we could have hoped for. THANK YOU SO MUCH and we'll definitely be in contact again!“

“Lisa in Catering is amazing! She truly makes sure all your needs are met and thinks of everything. We used them for my son’s birthday party and everyone raved about the taste, quality and presentation. Lisa is now helping me with my youngest son’s birthday! If you are looking for great food and customer service this is your place!“

“When I tried the food from tropical the flavor instantly made me feel like I was transported back to the islands. The jerk chicken was masterfully seasoned and was so tender , and the oxtail melted in my mouth like a cloud. Simply just amazing.“

“Best Philly Cheese steaks around!! Blue Angels special👍👍“

“The team at Encore Catering did an amazing job catering our wedding on June 29th at the Morris Museum in Morristown, NJ. Our guests raved then and continue to rave now about the food and the desserts. The service was exceptional. The team pull this off without any hiccups. It was so much more than I expected. Shout out to Pam and Susan for taking care of us and ensuring everything was perfect. I would recommend these guys any day of the week. ❤️“

“We ordered the everyday Wednesday special on Friday. It was fantastic!! Thank you!!“

“What did it take for our small wedding reception to be completely worry-free? Drew and The Fruited Plain Caterers! Having an outdoor wedding reception on October 19 on our back deck could have been "hit or miss" because of the uncertainty of the weather. But Drew connected us with the right rental company and the heated tent was AMAZING! With 25% of our guests being vegetarians we needed a caterer who could deliver deliciousness to all our guests. Drew totally hit it! We opted for a family style luncheon and got raving reviews on the quality of the food. From the first contact email 12 months ago, to the last dish put away on wedding day, we felt we were in great hands with a consummate professional. Drew was flexible enough to accommodate some of our special requests, and because we were dealing with the company owner, decision-making was straight forward. His servers were professional, efficient and friendly. My kitchen was probably cleaner after they left than it was before they arrived! And if all that wasn't enough, honesty and integrity were also a key aspect of our working with Drew. He caught a staffing level mistake on our final invoice and personally delivered a refund check for the amount we had overpaid. Now THAT's someone I will be working with again, and recommending without hesitation to all my friends!“

“Had my daughter wedding shower here the food was amazing the service was spot on . if your looking for an event for your next party its a must“

“So delicious and plenty of food. Loved it!“

“First time popping in and I will be back!
Chef Loryn’s worked perfect for my needs last week, which included multiple meals to go. I got the strawberry chicken salad (made fresh for me), meatloaf, Mac and cheese, sautéed vegetables and 2 crab cakes.“

“We ordered the general tso’s pizza yesterday for dinner and my family loved it. My son ate the last 2 slices for breakfast this morning. The guy who took my order over the phone was very patient and nice. I personally love their food as I’ve ordered many times from them when I was working in Wayne. We will definitely be ordering from now on because my family loved it. I can’t wait to try the Thai chili pizza with fried calamari. Great job Pizza One !!!!“

“Anthony and his staff were very easy to work with. He cooks with pride and it shows. The food is excellent, especially the pasta Bolognese and Graffiti salmon. The hors d'oeuvres were the highlight of the party, the mac & cheese crocks, the kobe beef sliders, coconut shrimp, just to name a few. The wait staff was very personable and pleasant. The buffet stations were set up beautifully. I highly recommend Creativa Catering and look forward to using them again.“

“Delicious food thank you for all the great meals 😋“

“They are the best. Food is amazing. Just plain great food. Love the broccoli rabe and sausage sandwich!“

“We just had a Summer Soirée which was catered by Ome caterers! The entire experience was wonderful! I can’t say enough about the sublime food, the professional staff (shoutout to Ali for all the help in planning and to Josh for his amazing managerial skills at the party)! The rest of the staff was equally professional and wonderful! Josh made sure to check in with me throughout the event and they were set up and ready to go on time! The food displays and fresh flowers elevated the atmosphere and was a perfect foil to my white party theme! The fresh raw bar, cheese display and the slider selections were phenomenal! The desserts were exceptional! They even provided a delicious gluten free dessert for those guests with gluten sensitivity. Everyone had a wonderful time! I would give them 10/10 for the entire catering experience! Josh made sure to leave some food for us as I never eat at my own event so we enjoyed the food the next day! We’ll definitely be using them again for future events! I look forward to trying all their menu options in the future!“

“We had The Fruited Plane cater our wedding. Drew and his team were EXCELLENT!! The food was amazing - we received so many compliments about it! I had to hide the leftovers from my family because the food was so good that the leftovers kept disappearing the day after the wedding. Drew is honest, hard working and a great chef! Don’t wait - hire him NOW!“

“Pleased and delighted with the job Pomp did for our Bar Mitzvah - Friday night dinner for 30 followed by a Shabbat Kiddush luncheon for 130, both with delicious food, tastefully served and arranged, and the kindest staff to prepare and serve. Highly recommend!“

“Very clean facility. Attended a banquet here and the place was beautiful. The lobby is picturesque. The dining hall had a waterfall in A WATERFALL! Beautiful chandlers and colored lighting. Ample parking as well. Getting to this place with route 43 is a bit annoying though.“

“Great food and great service. Going back next week!!!!“

“Simply Lisa's catered my daughter's birthday party. The food was amazing! Guests couldn't get enough of the eggplant rollatini! The service was impeccable. I highly recommend Lisa!“

“Delicious food, huge portions, fast delivery. highly recommend!“

“The Great Wazu is the reason small businesses are the HEART of a community. I am a soon-to-be small business owner myself. I walked in this place tonight like I do every 1-2 weeks to get dinner. Sara behind the counter has gotten to know me and ALWAYS remembers my order. Tonight, she asked me what was new, and I told her I had been upset all day worrying about all the stuff I have on my plate right now getting my business ready to open. She was the sweetest. When I reached for my credit card, she told me my order was on her and gave me a hug and said, "You got this." It was one of the most human experiences I've ever had, and I just want everyone to know how special this place is. It's not just the sandwiches. It's the kindness.“

“very happy with the food. they catered an office party. thank you“

“The cocktail hour was the best in the United States. Everything was fresh and top quality. The service was excellent, very attentive and polite. We had a choice of five entrées. Everything was delicious when it comes to desserts they didn’t stop it seemed like they wouldn’t stop bringing more and more. The cocktail room and dining room. Spotless I wish I could give Parks Savoy 10 stars.“

“My husband and I weren’t into the idea of wedding cake, so we went with wedding donuts! From start to finish, Lauren was incredible to work with. Not only are her donuts ridiculously delicious, she was super accommodating and always quick to respond when we had any questions or concerns. She even let us borrow a donut wall and stands for the big day! Whether you want to treat yourself or have something fun and unique for a special event, Lauren and her donuts will not disappoint😊“

“Oh man… where to start. The service was phenomenal, great recommendations, great atmosphere, the owner, Ms. Dana greeted us with a smile, Nikki the manager was great to deal with. Now the food… I had the special, “The Gobbler” and it was unbelievably tasty. The crunch from the toasted bread, the flavors all together were a symphony on my taste palette. My gf got the “Toni Ann” and she couldn’t talk while we were eating together because she wouldn’t stop stuffing her face. After she said the chicken cutlet was cooked perfect, mozzarella was fresh, peppers were exquisite. Overall experience was just mind-blowing. I’d recommend Ferraro’s to any person, local or travelers, you NEED to stop and eat here.“

“I originally had a issue with an extremely rude employee. I contacted them via email in regards to this issue and I heard back from the regional manager who was extremely nice and understanding. He heard me out and is going to do his part in getting the issue resolved.“

“Livingston Bagel catered a lunch on Thursday for 20 people for my Mom #BerniceSturtz 90th Birthday! We had their man Abe as Mr. Everything- chef, set up and clean up. He was professional and charming. A gem. Ask for him by name! He was a two-fisted omelette maker. They were delicious! And appropriately priced. As always-perfect bagels and salads and made to order omelets. Thank you LB and Abe. Judy Sturtz Karp and Bonnie Romberg“

“Amazing owner and delicious food!!! Can’t say enough good things about them.“

“We had our wedding at The Inn at Millrace Pond, Frungillo’s wedding venue in Hope, NJ in November of 2024. Everything was absolutely phenomenal, and we couldn’t be happier with the way the day worked out. Cocktail hour was absolutely amazing. We spread out 3 different stations throughout both levels of the farmhouse, and made use of the grassy area on the front lawn as well. Dinner and dessert were also amazing, and all of our guests enjoyed their meals. We would highly recommend Frungillo to anyone looking at wedding venues in the area!“

“This place is AMAZING! Great staff??delicious sandwiches?AWESOME CATERING?My family has been ordering from here for years and have never been disappointed. Italian Hero, Roast Beef & Cheddar, Salami Fresh Mozz & Roasted Peppers are made to perfection.We’ve had them cater multiple events with subs, wings, and apps and we’re constantly having to tell everyone where we got the food.Would give more stars if I could. Looking forward to my next visit✨

Parking: Street parking out front. Public parking lot across the street.“

“Best Caesar salad I ever had!“

“LOVE LOVE LOVE the macaroni and cheese!!“

“We cannot recommend Fleur de Sel enough! A big ‘thank you’ for catering my daughter’s bridal shower this past weekend. The food and presentation were outstanding. Patricia and her staff were extremely kind and accommodating when we needed to postpone this event at the last minute in July. We are so grateful to have this wonderful bakery in Chatham!“

“Amazing party venue. Highly recommend it.“

“Last night I brought my children to Rosa’s. We had passed it for months and were anxious to eat there.
It was the most delicious meal I have had since my grandmother passed away! The menu is pre-set and the food comes out in courses, one more delicious meal after another! Truly authentic Italian cuisine, and authentic dining like in Italy. I only wish I had skipped lunch, to make room for all the absolutely amazing food that came out of that kitchen all evening! The chef Rosa was so wonderful, the server was charming and attentive, I honestly haven’t had that kind of Italian experience in all of New Jersey eateries. Brava Rosa! Finché non ci incontreremo di nuovo.“

“The owners are fantastic and make you feel appreciated as their guests. Food is cooked with love and you can taste it.“

“I loved this place! Very nice addition to the community, the staff is nice and the food is great.“

“Fandango’s street tacos are awesome. We took a tray of these to a New Year’s Eve party in Glen Ridge and they were a big hit!“

“Delicious and most importantly fresh! I swear I would craft meals like this for myself if I had the time to cook! So happy to eat well on the go ❤️“
