50 Best Caterers near Paterson

“I love ordering from here on weekends! They have a solid account with the eat24 app, which makes ordering really easy. My favorite dish is the pernil (roasted pork), but the res guisada (beef stew) is also delicious. The food is just as good as homemade. Oh, and that banana shake!!. Delicious.“

“Great yummy flavorful food! Just would advise them to have the server serve the food a with some sort of presentation. A tiny effort goes along the way. Literally slapped the meat on my plate.. it doesn’t look pleasant. But it was yummy! Wish she would’ve served the right amount of steak this wasn’t expected“

“This place has awesome service and great food!“

“MAHFY was fantastic for our ~100 person wedding, we had a cocktail hour style reception which provided an array of heavy hors d'oeuvres, along with a grazing station and fruits! The team was very professional and ensured that every guest was fed including my husband and I. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for catering services within the Tri-state area!“

“Sean was fantastic. The food he prepared was excellent and the added show you get is a huge plus. Sean constantly involved the group and makes it fun for everyone. This was the second time we had Sean and there is a third time in our future. Highly recommended you won’t be disappointed.“

“This place is absolutely phenomenal. They catered for my son's 1 year birthday party. Extremely reasonable pricing. The food, is fantastic. My family was fighting over the linguini, and my family is very picky with pasta. Cannot recommend them enough. Again, outstanding food for a great price. Book with them, you will not be disappointed.“

“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!“

“In the past year I used Custodi to cater two parties, a Hawaiian Luau and Texas BBQ. Both times the food was delicious! Chris is so easy to work with and very accommodating with what your needs are. His staff took care of everything the day of, very professional. Our parties were a huge success and everyone raved about the food! Thanks so much Chris!“

“Had my daughter’s bridal shower here Saturday. It was amazing. My friends all said it was one of the best bridal shower they have been to. A large selection of food and fabulous ambience. I highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed.😋“

“This one the BEST rice ball I have ever had!!“

“Best bagels ive ever had: better than anything in nyc and better than anything else in jersey. Everyone in there hustles and works hard. I kept seeing the team asking for a guy named Byron and he was super on top of everything. That guy is an MVP. Whoever takes the orders on the phone is also a star: always gets the orders right- every detail (and thats hard to come by).

Now i will say, a large part of what i do for a living is making the customer service experience at restaurants better and more efficient. Most restaurant operators will not take advice unsolicited but i wanted to give mine anyway in hopes of maybe one day they will consider some changes:

A lot of times when i come here i see frustrated customers waiting on lines. Lot of old men cutting the lines. Nobody knows where to stand and sometimes multiple lines form. The people waiting to place an order are also in the same line as people waiting to pick up their order. So, i would do a number of things to improve their systems:
1. I would promote ordering ahead for pickup on their website. There are so many great companies they can use which can set up an awesome website for them : my favorite is Figure or Toast.
2. I would modernize everything by having the tickets from their website come in via printers and everything typed out. Would control where the tickets went and set up multiple printers.
3. Would ahve order screens so kitchen staff can see the orders, in the order they come in (with time stamps) and mark them off as they go.
4. I would have a screen so customers can see which orders are “in progress” and which are “finished”. That way orders that are ready, customers can go up to their counter and mention their name. This system also works well if you have delivery drivers in your face a lot.

5. I would have 2 lines set up, divided with standing signs “order here” line and a “pick up “ line.

6.I would also have a worker whose only job would be: manning the register, cleaning up, attending to the lines. I see a lot of the FOh going to the back to get things and add things and that element is not typical in an efficient restaurant system. There should be an expediter who passed things to FOH so they dont have to go to the back and get in people’s way.

I would do more but i know that even a few of these changes would enhance the customer ordering and pickup experience and if done right it could potentially make the workers lives easier once they get used to the new systems.

I know they probably wont do any of this because they are busy and people love them and will put up with the status quo. But i will say one observation: i noticed most customers are of a certain age. Younger generations like and expect efficient ordering processes and dont like to talk to people: they like kiosk ordering and online ordering a lot.

The restaurants i operate do about 90% of their orders on online platforms. Its becoming the norm and i know many customers would appreciate a simpler way to order ahead, and get to go on that shorter “pick up” line.

Just a thought.

But hey, at the end of the day even if Bagel Nosh become more inefficient i would still come back because they truly have the best Bagels and their team hustles, and always gets everything perfect. I applaud the owners for being able to maintain such a strong team and the work culture there is impeccable- nobody is slacking off.

Wishing Bagel Nosh and Team only the best. Best of Bergen every year for a reason!“

“Great place if you want to have a successful event or a wedding reception. I had my wedding at Mamma Vittoria Catering back in October 2019, and went to some other events organized at this catering hall. Food was fresh and very tasty, and the staff is always friendly and professional. I have had nothing but great experiences with Mamma Vittoria and everyone working there.“

“We used Graze Craze Wyckoff for a women entrepreneurs networking event and had a great experience. Jane arrived early, set up a beautiful display, and took care of cleanup afterwards, which made everything so easy. The light bites, salads, and charcuterie were fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented - everyone loved the food. Highly recommend for a networking event, ladies’ night, or any special gathering. Thank you!“

“Where do I even begin!!! Describing our wedding as perfect would truly be an understatement. From the very first moment, Vasili made it abundantly clear that choosing The Grove was the best decision we could have made for our big day. Vasili’s level of professionalism, attention to detail, and effortless execution elevated our entire experience. He guided my husband and I through every aspect of the planning process with such ease and confidence that we were able to fully enjoy every moment leading up to our day. Every detail was handled with precision, and the result was nothing short of flawless. The venue itself is absolutely breathtaking. The entire staff was attentive, polished, and genuinely dedicated to making our day unforgettable. And the food—truly to die for. From cocktail hour to dessert, every single bite was amazing. Our guests are still talking about how incredible everything was, which speaks volumes about the quality and care put into every course. Vasili’s passion and commitment to excellence shine through in every detail, and it made all the difference. We are beyond grateful for the unforgettable experience he created for us.“

“We recently hosted our baby shower at The Loft in Montclair, NJ and it was truly an incredible experience. From start to finish everything went smoothly thanks to the amazing team especially Te’Niijah and A’tasia. The space itself was beautiful modern and spacious with a great layout that worked perfectly for our event. One of the things we really appreciated was that they provided tables and chairs which made planning so much easier. It’s a great setup and the venue is very well maintained. Te’Niijah and A’tasia were an absolute dream to work with. They were professional friendly and always accessible whenever we had questions. They offered helpful recommendations and made us feel supported throughout the planning process. You can tell they genuinely care about making your event special and stress free. On the day of the shower everything went off without a hitch. We were able to enjoy ourselves and be present with our guests while knowing that everything behind the scenes was being handled. We’re already looking forward to rebooking The Loft for future events. Huge thanks and major kudos to Te’Niijah and A’tasia for their incredible work collaborating with us and our vendors. We wholeheartedly recommend this venue and team to anyone planning a special celebration.“

“As the owner of Arlene Brief Entertainment, I have worked with many caterers, as you can well imagine...but I have never been so impressed as I was tonight working with Chef Kenny Collins and his staff. It was the best & most enjoyable meal I've ever had...Five Stars just isn't enough and I can't wait to work with them again! Bravo, Kenny....not only was the entire meal delicious...you make it into an art form! Jason Craig, my fabulous entertainer, who usually never eats while he's working, couldn't resist tonight..........and that's saying something!“

From setup to service, they were professional, friendly, and such a pleasure to work with. Hosting a big event can feel overwhelming, but Amarillo Grilling made it easy and enjoyable. They truly helped make our celebration special, and we’re so grateful. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for amazing food and great service!“

“This is a gem of an old school, home made food kind a deli. Been here a couple of times. I think it's Cathy and Sue I was just chatting it up with... Sue with her mother's hands. I just tasted her home made potatoe salad and slaw. Ordering for our next barbeque. If your working local and looking for something fresh, come here. Driving through and wanna sammich? Wine? Some italian delicacies? Come here. Actual home made food for the win.“

“I use San Carlo for our company holiday party for the past 6 years. We keep coming back because the service is that good. Food , venue, parking, and especially the friendly and attentive staff.

I refer alot of my family and friends to this gem.“

“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 !!!!“

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

“This small shop makes the best (bacon) egg + cheese sandwiches around that area.The owners know what I want after I've not been there for months at a time, and have been like that since my first visit. They are always friendly and quick with my order.They have Coffee Roasters coffee, a favorite of mine, but they rarely make decaf, if that's what you're after.It is a tiny shop with limited seating, you'll probably be more comfortable in your car or back home, but there's always news on the tv to keep you amused, should you sit and eat.Park in the Rite-Aid lot or on the side street. They're 2 blocks from the train, and there's plenty of small places to shop or investigate nearby.“

“I have been working with Peter and Yamato for several years, at many of my corporate locations in New York City and New Jersey. One of the biggest reasons we continue to use Peter is because of the partnership he offers. He is always available and understands our needs and is able to customize his offerings to match each of our locations specific needs and wants.That for us goes well above the great quality that he offers. We look to use vendors that are willing to partner with us to make sure that we are all successful.“

“We have used Daily Catering since the 80's. Yesterday, they catered a party at our home and EVERYONE talked about how wonderful it was. The steak, meatballs, baked ziti, chicken were outstanding. The menu is on their website and with one phone call, it was all set. They delivered and set up on time. Cannot recommend highly enough for any type of party. Absolutely made my function a huge success.“

“In short, there is no better than Royalty Catering Crew. The displays, the service, the incredible dedication by each member of the team…and OF COURSE, the taste and array of food that is prepared for set every day is UNMATCHED by anyone in the business. Every day, their game was upped and kept delivering at the highest level. I would only ever use this team for any film I produce. Look no further.“

“Such a pleasure to work with Aiyana on hosting my first networking event! Since I didn't have much experience, I asked Aiyana for recommendations on how much food (with variety) to feed all the guests. She was so patient and helpful throughout the process. The food was delicious! The guests love the food. Aiyana & Keith set up everything so nicely for me. They went above and beyond in providing exceptional service. Both of them are very diligent and kind people. I'm so glad I worked with them. They know how to treat people right and deliver the best service. I hope to do business with them again!“

“This establishment is truly unique in its catering services, and I am excited to hear that they will soon be offering takeout options. The food is not only delicious but also healthy, and it is prepared by the highly experienced and friendly Chef Craig.
