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“

“I am so happy that they have an SOS menu. It was great to be able to relax and know that the kitchen welcomes my dietary preference. Thank you!

It seems that nearly everything is prepared to order, and as a result if coming here you should be prepared to possibly wait longer than most restaurants for your food to be ready.
I do wish there was a way for the restaurant to communicate this to avoid problems with new customers who may be expecting quicker service.“

“Pleasant experience and beautiful place, nice drinks! Give it a try! Music, too! 🥂“

“Excellent service all the way around“

“😍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.“

“It's amazing. I didn't expect there would be such a good restaurant here. I highly recommend it to my friends.“

“Our Christmas party this was another success….food is always delicious and delivered on time and pipping hot! Thank you xo“

“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.“

“Vegan restaurant by Tompkins park. The halumi and pumpkin starter was amazing. I had the Yube sandwich, wouldn’t recommend. Their house burger was definitely a better choice.

Good if you’re looking for a vegan or vegetarian option. On the expensive side, and there’s definitely better places in the area.

I’d go back but only for the burger.“

“We finally had the chance to visit Bassett Caterers today. They catered our wedding at the Foundry over 21 years ago, and I don’t think we ever properly thanked them back then. Their service was amazing—they handled everything from the food to the chairs to the servers, making the day so easy for us. If you need catering, I can’t recommend Bassett enough.

We met Frank today, and he’s just as kind as we remembered. You can tell he’s truly passionate about his business, and his team is just as friendly and professional as they were years ago.

We sampled the food again, and it’s still just as delicious as ever. To the reviewer complaining about prices—come on! The amount and quality of food you get here is unmatched. Compare it to other caterers and you’ll see the value at Bassett is incredible.

We’ll definitely be back for our Christmas party catering—can’t wait!“

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

“Great place Wonderful food Good service“

“This place is fantastic! I’ve ordered from them twice now, and both experiences have been outstanding. This time, I arranged breakfast and lunch for 50 people, and everything was perfect—delicious, beautifully presented, and on time.
Tod helped me select the menu and offered excellent recommendations. He truly knows his business and is an absolute pleasure to work with. Highly recommend!“

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

“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“

“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!“

“I see that your business has some bad reviews, so I can remove them. do you need service dm me“

“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 tried to recreate their recipes at home but always return. They give substantial servings, and I took some home for the next day! I wonder if critics ate at the same restaurant I did. Staff adjusted to our timeline and provided great care. The setup here is uniquely designed.“

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

“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.“

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

“I cannot say enough amazing things about Alchemiq Catering! I recently hosted an event in Brooklyn, and from start to finish, everything was absolutely flawless. The team was so kind, professional, and attentive — from setup to breakdown, they handled every detail with such care and grace.

But the real showstopper was the food and drinks. Everyone at my event raved about them all night long! Each bite was bursting with incredible flavor — it’s honestly amazing how much taste and creativity they packed into such small bites. The cocktails were equally impressive — so beautifully crafted and perfectly balanced.

It’s rare to find a catering company that delivers on every single level — presentation, flavor, service, and overall vibe — but Alchemiq exceeded every expectation. They truly helped make my event unforgettable. I can’t wait to work with them again!“

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

“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.“

“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.“

“Had the most delicious lunch today. Everything is so fresh. Amazing choices! My daughter enjoyed as well and wants to hurry back for the smashed avocado toast and an açaí bowl. I brought a hot plate home for dinner, the salmon was superb (brought in fresh!) Highly recommend!!!“

“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.“

“I consider my self a “foodie” and have eaten at many top restaurants. With Chef David it's like the best restaurant you've ever eaten at comes to you. His warmth and professionalism, as well as that of his team, takes over the kitchen, and when you're done eating one of the best meals you've ever had, he leaves your kitchen spotless. His service is top notch. We’ve been lucky to have Chef David cook his magic in our home multiple times (recently with an event of 15!) and hope to have him back for many more.“

“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.“

“great food, clean and great service“

“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!“

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

“Our server Joe was attentive and kind at all times. Every steak ordered to our liking was great. It's so hard to find a place where the meat truly tastes good and worth the price. Charming small space with comfortable seating for a fancy dinner. Thank you for reading our note in advance to surprise our birthday girl! She had fun :)“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“Great food and the staff was very nice.“

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

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