50 Best Caterers near Howard Beach

“I just got my Twins 21st Birthday this last Saturday I will say yes I do recommend it because of the delicious food , accommodation, tables set up, bartender and servers ( kind and warm), the bartender was on beyond my expectations but They need to hire another hostess who is willing to help, follow instructions and get better management floors My guests were lost sitting on any table when I approached to her at the beginning of the party with instructions she answered that she won’t need it. That is why the welcome guest part was a COMPLETE DISASTER When we were getting ready for the toast none of us got a glass so I went running to the table to serve the drinks she approached to me saying THATS TOO MUCH ALCOHOL and I looked at her saying I DO KNOW WHAT I AM DOING and my question is WTH you should ask me how I can help you or if you are an experienced hostess you will know what is that for ??? Honestly she did not deserve any tip even tho I did tip her I got extremely dissatisfied with her attitude different relatives and guests asked who is she ?? No smile extremely serious she made my guest so uncomfortable I hope she get better professionally So I will rate this place 3/5“

“😍THEY HAVE BEEN A LEADER IN CATERING SERVICES, SINCE LONG BEFORE I FIRST ATTENDED A FUNCTION, AS A TEEN, IN THE 1960'S! STILL WONDERFUL AS OF THE AFFAIR I ATTENDED, THIS PAST SUNDAY, APRIL 13, 2025!“

“It’s been a pleasure transporting a large percentage of our limousine clients to El Caribe for their special occasions and events. As a neighboring vendor it has been a seamless experience providing services as we are conveniently located only 10 minutes away (Avenue D/Utica Ave). The valet attendant is always most helpful and courteous when directing our limousine drivers with parking. If you or someone you know is thinking about booking El Caribe as your venue for celebration we highly recommend them and if you are looking for a limousine or party bus to transport you in style and luxury we can help you as well give us a call at 718-629-2540 and we will help you with booking or providing a price quote. We have limousines that fit as small as a party of 8 to as big as a party of 35 people.“

“The food was very tasty, the atmosphere and ambience of the meal was great, especially the service was excellent and will be experienced again next time.“

“Durso’s Pasta & Ravioli Company is a beloved Flushing staple, offering an authentic Italian culinary experience rooted in tradition and quality. As soon as you step into the shop, you’re greeted by the many inviting aromas, the sight of hanging prosciutto, and a beautiful display of over 50 freshly prepared dishes, which are made daily.

The sandwiches are absolutely delicious, generously portioned, and perfect for a very hungry individual like myself or for sharing. If you are ordering ready to eat items, plan ahead as this is a strictly take out establishment.

You’ll also find a wide variety of gourmet, ready to enjoy meals, imported cheeses and meats, and Italian pantry staples and gift items. Their selection of homemade ravioli, fresh pastas, and sauces from classic marinara to rich bolognese is unmatched. The service is top notch, and the ambiance has a warm, family feel that makes every visit feel like coming home.

Durso’s combines quality, tradition, and hospitality a true Italian culinary gem in Queens.“

“Thank you for catering my first holiday meal in GN. Everything was delicious. Turkey was juicy and succulent and went great with the couscous and sausage stuffing with plums. I used the liquid you gave to make it even more moist and have already made blintzes and salad and turkey fried rice with the rest.“

“From the very beginning working with Frank/ Bassett, I knew they were the perfect choice for our wedding on 5/24/25. The portions were incredible and the food was amazing. No one will go hungry I promise! If you are questioning, just go to a tasting and you will be fully on board. The bacon wrapped scallops and beef crostini's were some on my personal favorites. Very kind business, even checked up on us after the wedding. They brought their own bartenders and exceeded expectations. It is obvious they have been doing this for a long time, and know exactly what they are doing. I cant thank Bassett enough for being the best/easiest vendor to work with. 11/10“

“Delicious pizza and friendly customer service! Open til 4 am“

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

“Amazing food and wonderful staff. Very creative presentation and always on time. I always pick them when I need office catering.“

“Kinda loud, busy, party-like atmosphere, with upbeat music and subdued lighting. Definitely a popular place when I went for dinner on a weekend night. It was easy to order a vegan burger and fries, which came pretty quickly, and was really good. The staff was way busy and way friendly.“

“Excelente servicio comida puntualidad hijiene amabilidad de principio a fin 100%recomendado Mildred Enriquez jerente De Banquete hiso un excelente trabajo y los chic@s en general una experiencia muy profecional“

“It's delicious, and the staff is excellent, too!“

“We got married at the Green Building last weekend and Dish is one of their preferred vendors, so when we chose them as our caterer, we knew we wouldn’t have to worry about a thing! In addition to their catering services, we used Dish’s day-of coordinating services. The food was phenomenal and people still keep raving about the chicken and waffle cones from our cocktail hour! Every single bite I had throughout the day left me satisfied with a happy belly! The entire day went as smooth as butter and everyone really enjoyed themselves! Our magical day would not have been possible without the amazing duo of Evalyn and Lauren! They were truly the best!“

“For our vow renewal, we wanted a dinner that felt elegant yet comforting, and Certé absolutely delivered. The food had a homemade feel with a gourmet twist — full of warmth, flavor, and beauty. Their staff was attentive and kind, making the evening feel personal and stress-free. We’re so glad we chose them.“

“Jillicious Grazing Boxes make a perfect gift. I sent one to help ease the stress of a move & they were “WOW’d” & thrilled! It is chock full of yummy surprises, all arranged beautifully, in perfect condition. There was such a generous amount of food, they could make a meal and still graze after. The meat, cheese, fruit, nuts & dried fruit were premium quality & we’re told, very delicious. It arrived in a cute huge box, with flowers & a honey dipper tied into the colorful wrapping twine. This gift was a big hit & I couldn’t be happier.“

“I've used Chris now for three events and have nothing but remarkable things to say about the guy. He's easily the single most professional, efficient and all around best caterer/chef I've ever com across. From planning an intimate 20 person get together to a 4 hour, 150 person rooftop carnival, Chris can take a 30 second conversation and turn it into something beyond your wildest dreams. The man is an absolute legend and the only caterer in NYC you need to consider using. He's sharp as a tack and has a staff unlike any other ready and will to help in any and every way necessary.“

“Chef Jeffrey does an excellent job as my personal chef. We have used his weekly meal prep delivery service for years now. He always delivers on time, his food is delicious and varied each week to meet our dietary restrictions. I would recommend his services without reservation.“

“We dine at the Darbar Grill every time we visit NYC. Friendly service and delicious food - we highly recommend it!“

“Thanks so much for the wonderful job. The food was great and your staff was wonderful as well."“

“We needed last-minute catering for welcome drinks the night before our wedding. We went with Alchemiq because their rates were great compared to other companies in the area– and we are so glad we did. Everything about this company was amazing. Communicating with Igor was very clear and efficient, and we pulled together such a perfect party in such a short amount of time. The food was delicious, the presentation was beautiful, and the staff was very kind and professional. We had a fair amount of discerning guests, and everyone left happy. I am definitely hiring Alchemiq for any and all future parties.“

“Maiden Voyage Catering did an absolutely fantastic job catering my small wedding. Communication with Bella and Rachel made things easy as well. The presentation was stunning—every dish looked like a piece of art. The food itself was not only delicious but also truly unique, and everything was delivered exactly on time. I loved the thoughtful signage describing each item—it made the whole experience feel extra special. I didn’t even get to try the desserts because they disappeared so fast (a sure sign they were amazing!). I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for beautiful, flavorful food with great attention to detail.“

“The ice cream at Tipsy Scoop is amazing. Great flavors. I bought a flight and got to try 4 flavors all delicious. my favorite was the mango margarita sorbet. I definitely plan to go back.“

“The very best. Taste is excellent. Generous amount of food. When I get a taste for seafood I get it from here. Just had a great celebration for my birthday. Thank you for staying true to the taste. Highly recommend.“

“Absolutely stunning chocolates, so much taste and flavors in one bite!!!couldn’t get enough of it…“

“My favorite bagels in Brooklyn and I’ve tried dozens of spots. Not cheap but so worth the price. Wish they had a couple more chairs but it’s a small place. Staff is really nice too.

I highly recommend the pretzel bagel if you wanna switch things up.“

“We’ve been here in 2021 and made the long trip back to New York just to savor that incredible mac&cheese again.
It’s so great to see how much this place has grown.
The cheese is absolutely divine, the service is top-notch, and the atmosphere is just perfect.
I highly recommend it! ????“

“Beautiful, clean space. Pizza tasted great but the dough/crust was a bit dry. $9 for two slices and a large drink, so not the cheapest but also not as over priced as some pizza in the city. Overall it was a good experience. This is definitely a nice spot to eat and work/study/read too.“

“Was lucky enough to attend an 8-course chef’s tasting event. It was fabulous. Best octopus I’ve ever eaten.“

“We hired Chef David for Mother's Day this year and it was the best decision ever. He and his team were extremely responsive and the dishes he prepared for our family were incredible! He and his staff were lovely and very well prepared. Looking forward to hiring Chef David again soon!“

“great food, clean and great service“

“This review is long overdue. However, we are glad we waited because seven (7) months later, we are STILL getting rave reviews from our friends and families about the food at our wedding! We had a VERY difficult venue that required all of our vendors to submit referrals and agree to a multitude of specific rules. Our original caterer cancelled two (2) months out from our wedding date (after a year of planning). We did not know what to do! They had already been approved and accepted by our venue. We were devastated! KRISP quickly reviewed the menu / pricing we had negotiated and budgeted with that caterer. They were SO reassuring, and offered us MORE options for a lower cost. We could not believe it! After experiencing an incredible tasting at their gorgeous venue, we were SOLD! THE FOOD IS UNREAL, seriously! When we were low on alcohol, they ran to the store to ensure that our guests would not notice any lapse! They even secured and stored our cake topper for months after our wedding! Despite coming on board with less than 2 months to prepare, KRISP navigated a VERY difficult venue, provided incredible service and kept all the stress out of our site! If you don't scoop them up while you can, your event will not be as good as it could have been.“

“Excellent pizza ... so happy to see Eli again ... we will be back soon ❤️“

“Thomas Oliver’s provided hot pretzel and hot dog catering for our wedding and was a hit with our guests. Both items were delicious and their staff was prompt and professional. Gary at Thomas Oliver’s was great to work with and we highly recommend the experience.“

“Look no further , they have the best catering in town“

“Joe and his team made my wife's 40th birthday a truly memorable evening. Everyone had a blast and loved every bite of food, which was all made from scratch. Because everything was perfect, we got to really enjoy our party. Joe is extremely personable and easy to work with, and will be hearing from us for our next party. I couldn't have imagined a better experience!“

“always a pleasure John Desrosiers the manager is very appreciative and caring to his loyal patrons“

“Once their Shabbos meals used to be 2 barbecue chickens and side salads, barley and mushrooms. $14.95. I bought four of these meals put them overnight in crockpots and fed my shul a great Sabbath meal. Inflation has made it impossible. The chicken is great and all of the prepared foods are wonderful. The staff here is lovely“

“DELICIOUS and fresh. The family that runs this place takes care of their customers. This place is not to be missed for a casual stopover or a sit down, unfold some books or work, and get after it. Full coffee bar with teas and specialty beverages. Honey-themed everything… clever.“

“Had the most AMAZING Poboy & conversation with the owner/cook of sweet tooth. The business has been on Garvey for 17 years and I think it’s because he stayed true to himself, pork free soulfood, chopped chicken barbecue sandwiches, Poboy and homemade iced teas and let’s not forget about the desserts which I didn’t get to get any because I’m on a sweet break but next time I pop in I’m definitely getting a sweet potato cheesecake. Now for my sandwich, I had four juicy shrimp on 1/2 and on the other two pieces of flounder garnish with a secret sauce and a slaw mix toasted to perfection. It was so delicious. Definitely popping back in to try more things on the item and if you’re like me, looking for a black owned businesses that hit the nail on the head definitely pop into sweet tooth.“

“On January 22, 2023 my husband and I threw an engagement party / surprise wedding at Versailles Palace. Nadia helped us plan an event that was unforgettable in one month. She was attentive and detail-oriented. Anytime I texted her or called, she responded quickly. My guests absolutely loved the event, the food and the service. She was able to help us with valet services, open bar services and any request we had. We had the most incredible time celebrating our special day with Nadia at Versailles Palace. I want to also shoutout her staff who was helping me change into my different outfits throughout the night. Marina was the most delightful person and helped me change, brought me food and water (when I forgot to eat and drink) and always asked if I needed anything. I couldn’t have asked for a better night. Nadia will help you plan your most incredible evening. She will give you recommendations on vendors and anything else you need! While this venue enticed us because they are glatt kosher, everything about it was so perfect! Food was incredible, bartenders followed your requests and everyone was easy to work with. Thank you for making my special day one that I will never forget.“

“Hands down, best chevalatta in Brooklyn. You can see chunks of provolone busting out of the casing. You can taste it in every bite. It’s great on the grill, skillet or in the oven. Their steaks and other meats are fantastic. I won’t go anywhere else for sausage.“

“Delicious pizza and friendly customer service! Open til 4 am“

“Love it the Venue is 2nd to none“

“I have eaten a lot of maki, chirashi, temaki hand rolls, and nigiri across asia pacific.

MakiMaki has good quality ingredients, but it is either an American style or the rice here is not seasoned.

The hand roll had a vague hint of the rice being seasoned at the base of the roll. The maki had no seasoning and neither did the toro chirashi bowl.

At this price point a basic error like this is an easy one to 1.5 stars off. The balance is thrown off.“

“The best service and amazing dishes of food❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“I visited this place and it was a great experience! It's a slice of Italy in New York. I found a fresh, delicious, and high-quality appetizer. I loved the spaghetti cacio e pepe and the fruit dessert. The service was excellent! I recommend it 100%.“
