50 Best Caterers near River Vale

“It’s a personalized experience. It’s all in the details. He and his staff are perfection!!!“

“We had my daughter’s wedding at Venetian and we couldn’t be happier!! The food was amazing and the service was the best I have ever had any where!!“

“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!“

“Great food! They catered my graduation kiddush this week and did amazing job! From the poppers to the pretzel chicken to the kugels and salads…all tasty, fresh and yummy!“

“In 2024, the Monsey area is filled with catering establishments, take-out store, and bakeries, and yet Glaubers, which has been here forever, is still the best. They have catered kiddushin and a wedding for us and we were always greatly satisfied. When you go to the store you will find fresh and delicious food, and the people serving you are even more delicious! If you haven't been to Glaubers yet, go tomorrow.“

“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!“

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

“Great venue with amazing staff and management“

“Absolutely, hands down 10/10. From the very first email to the days following our wedding, the staff at The View, especially our friend Vincent, made us feel welcome and cared for. They were an absolute delight to work with, from beginning to end. From the moment you enter, the facilities are gorgeous. Everything is beautifully maintained and well thought out, including an AMAZING bridal AND groom suite, AND a salon area- which no other venue we looked at had. The in-house chef was happy to work with us to create a custom menu, that was not only fully vegetarian, but also included Indian, American and Italian classics. Our guests are still raving about the food! All areas of The View-ballroom, cocktail area, bar, patio, bridal/groom suites/salon- are stunning. It is the perfect size for a smaller or medium sized wedding, which was great because so many other venues in the area have guest minimums of 200 or 250. The facility is gorgeous. The staff and management are flexible, welcoming and attentive. The food is great. Bar is great. What more could you want! And if anyone reading this decides to have their wedding at The View- please invite me! I’m dying to return as a guest! 😂😂😂“

“I somehow only started frequenting Mimi’s and I’m definitely making up for lost time lol! Their panini of the day is always the best panini ever, iced coffee that hits the spot, soups that are healthy & hearty, ice cold ice tea with lemonade(not too sweet)… simply the best breakfast & lunch spot in Tappan!“

“Freshness of fruits and meats, beautifully arranged boards always requested by our guests. Highly recommended for any occasions and gatherings ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. The charcuterie boards at post pictures, travels 8,500 plus miles overseas and upon unpacking looks fresh and tastes fresh because of the food quality.“

“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!“

“Omg amazing breakfast! Aileen the best Waitress ever since I been coming. Thank you 🙏“

“Chef T was absolutely clutch for a Women’s Power Dinner my wife planned last month for twenty (20) amazing women! We reached out about a week before the event and Chef T was able to curate a menu and deliver our hand selected selections the day of the event!!

Anyone looking for well tasting food for their guest should definitely call Chef T!“

“I had Modern Roots cater my daughters bridal shower luncheon on Sunday April 2nd. The food was awesome! It was presented so beautifully! There Little Bite pass arounds were fabulous. Their food is definitely prepared with LOVE and what more can you ask for! They are one of the unique and finest caterers around. Donna was soooo easy to work with and so helpful! They are my new go to for any future events! They made the day extra special!“

“I will never use another caterer!! Thank you for making Andrew's graduation party a wonderful event and making it so enjoyable for everyone!! You absolutely gave us the "Personal Touch". Everyone raved about our Southern theme with the pulled pork as the favorite!! The delivery, setup, presentation and quality of food and service was superior! Thank you Lisa and John!“

“Thank you Stewart’s. Last minute saved my Super Bowl party. Called Saturday had it ready Sunday. Was delicious and a big hit Any occasion they’ll definitely take care of you Thanks again 5 stars“

“Ordered for Passover.. couldn't be happier... everything was delicious- a huge time saver- and the order was delivered to my home. I don't know why everyone doesn't do this.. when you add the cost of uncooked items.. your time and energy.. i think this works out to cost you less.. and the time you enjoy with your family.. is priceless!!! Definitely consider trying this for your next holiday or Shabbat meal!!! 5 Stars from me.“

“These are the best!!! The owner is the sweetest person I've ever met in my life and she really puts her all into what she does and she does it the right way!! So stop thinking about pulling the plug- just do it. You won't regret it!“

“They always that pot of fresh coffee ready when u get there and staff is super nice and clean 💜🙏💙🌻🥰💯“

“This place is a fantastic find. They offer an incredible range of food, covering everything from fresh spring rolls, kimbap, and various side dishes (banchans) to hearty soups and stews. They also have great mains like donkatsu and perfectly marinated meats ready to cook at home.

The best part? It all tastes authentically home-cooked and truly delicious. Every single dish I’ve tried here has been amazing. Prices are totally fair, and the owners are such genuinely warm, kind people.

Worth noting that this is only a takeout spot. With that being said, I highly recommend this place! My new go-to spot whenever I’m craving Korean but don’t have time to cook.“

“Jill and the Above and Beyond catering team most certainly lived up to their name! Everything from beginning to end was absolutely delicious and so beautifully presented. Guests kept commenting to us how good the food was. Many asked for the caterer’s name . Jill was also a pleasure to work with and made sure everything was perfect. I would definitely use her again. Can’t say enough about it!“

“Diana, The “Queen of Great Sandwiches” - recently she created this delicious tasting sandwich - see photo - chicken cutlet, cheese, roasted red peppers, balsamic glaze…spectacular looking and delicious! Highly recommend this place In Oradell without any reservations! A++++“

“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.“

“Everything from the food, communication, delivery, etc was exceptional. Everyone at the party raved about the quality of the food and how fresh everything was. Frankie's far exceeded our expectations and I look forward to using them in the future!“

“I found them online. When I called I spoke with Andrew the owner. He immediately put my mind at ease was willing to work with everything that I had wanted to, even took the time to stay on the phone with me while we were both online checking out pictures of different platters and different options to have. I threw myself a surprise 50th birthday party, and I wanted to have something different besides the normal Italian buffet. What I want to show you is absolutely spectacular, and as beautiful as it looks it doesn't compare to the taste. They were so professional brought in these beautiful heavy metal platters with serving spoons, tongues, and they also brought chopsticks soy sauce and a spicy male sriracha. I ordered a Kani salad and a Seaweed salad to go along with the different platter that I wanted. It was truly an amazing experience. Don't sleep on the opportunity to hire them to cater your next event. Mine was about a hundred people, and again I had other food but this was definitely the star of the show.“

“Morano’s is always my go to catering spot! They never disappoint!! I catered an event for 50 people and the food was hot and fresh and delicious! The delivery was on time and the staff is so dedicated to quality and service! I received so many compliments and recommended Morano’s to all my guests.“

“The entire Northern Valley Affairs team is amazing!! They truly went above and beyond to make my wedding the most spectacular affair above even my wildest dreams!!! Do not hesitate to hire them you will not regret it!“

“excelente servicio, precios“

“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!“

“Excellent take out home cooked meal style food. I love and buy the salmon piece which is huge and is $8. I also get chicken cutlets for the kids. The cabbage and side items also look good but I just add at home a side and the meal is done. Also the coffee is my favorite in the neighborhood. Muffins melt in my mouth particularly the corn and chocolate chip. They should have more chocolate chip or maybe not bc I would buy and eat it more. There food is great home cooked style for a FAIR price. I’m so glad they are in my neighborhood.“

“We had our party for 4yo birthday catered, everything was delicious! The meat was soft, pilaf, blini, beef - super tasty. Napoleon for dessert was airy, fluffy and just right. Our guests enjoyed everything, and left full and satisfied 😊“

“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. He kindly gave me a tour of the kitchen, which was exceptionally clean and well-organized. It would be a missed opportunity not to visit this establishment.“

“If you really want some real authentic Jamaican food this is where you get itBest stew chicken around curry goat and curry chicken will keep you chewing on those bones not to mention the oxtail??? ????????Jerk chicken is a plus plus !!!!!You have to try it and see for yourself and i know you'll agree with me“

“Trilled to share my excellent experience at the Atrium. My wife and I recently attended a Chasinah at the Atrium. The hall and food were outstanding. The hall itself is beautiful and clean. We sampled food from the smorgasbord,… was amazing and tasty, honestly some of the best wedding food we have tasted. Assortment was varied and we both enjoyed. Kudos to the caterer for preparing a beautiful assortment of food. This was a Five star event at a very nice venue. Barry F.“

“A Great Company to Hire for your Next Party..“

“A most Have in Your Kosher Event.“

“So glad we chose Menagerie to cater our wedding! All our guests kept raving about the quality of the food and the selection! If I could, I would add a 6th star for all the added service and organization that Martin and his team provided in coordinating with the other vendors and in ensuring that our wedding flowed as it was supposed to.“

“Saw these guys at a local festival one time and the recipes were incredible! I enjoy cooking too, so the BBQ grill got my attention at first. Very clean operation, super friendly, delicious corn at a good price! Thanks again!“

“Great food! Great Service!“

“Quinoa Salad with chicken so good. The place is clean, the service is friendly. I will be back to try more items off the menu“

“8th Day recently catered my son's bris and did a great job. The staff were very kind as well -- they brought me and my husband food before the end to ensure we ate, since we were too busy running around. Easy to work with and accommodating of our requests!“

“The reviews are all true . This is real deal Italian neighborhood food ! Homemade soups, cold sandwiches that don’t cut corners, hot subs done properly, liquor available, and genuinely good service from a family-run spot planted in one of New Jersey’s strongest Italian communities.

The power move is the steam table in the back. That’s where the nonna cooks whatever she felt like winning with that day.

Daily specials, rotating, well seasoned, zero shortcuts. I’ve tried several. They don’t miss EVER 🔥🔥

Daily specials change constantly and are posted on their website. Skip the trendy places pretending to do this. This one actually does“

“Muy bueno y fresco torta cubana 100“

“I recently had the pleasure of working with Main Event Caterers for my wedding, and they made our special day incredibly hassle-free and memorable. From our very first interaction, they exhibited a high level of professionalism and worked diligently to accommodate our budget. Their prompt responsiveness to every request, along with their flexibility in managing last-minute adjustments, truly impressed us. On the day of the wedding, the service team was punctual, warm, friendly, and efficient, ensuring a seamless transition between the cocktail hour, ceremony, and reception. In addition, the kosher menu they crafted was exceptional, delicious dishes that delighted guests while perfectly adhering to kosher standards. The food was a standout throughout the evening, and our guests couldn’t stop praising the diverse and delicious menu.“
