43 Best Caterers in Portland

“Y'all the flavor profiles of chef Nikeisah Newton's culinary creations practically SING in your mouth. Through some kitchen sorcery, she infuses conventional cultural flavors with new life, and brings them to healthy dishes that won't make you feel over-full or bloated. Each ingredient is clearly chosen with thoughtfulness, and every forkful of a little concert for your palate!“

“The best shrimp and grits I have ever had... the service was amazing! Definitely eating here again.“

“Good food speedy service.“

“Not only is the food amazing, but the owner is one of the kindest most generous souls out there. People show their true colors in an emergency, and his true colors are absolutely golden. ✨💛✨“

“Had for the first time today! So good !!“

“White Pepper was fantastic!! They were so wonderful and helpful in rescheduling our wedding twice for covid. They were always available to help with questions throughout the planning process. On the wedding day, the service staff was incredible. And the FOOD! Hands down the best wedding food my husband and I have ever had. All of the guests said the same. Somehow they were able to mix a farm to table fresh menu with such decadence still. I would recommend them a million times!“

“What a great find! This is my new neighborhood bar. Small and super cute with local artists displayed on the walls. Signature cocktails were in inventive and fresh. I tried the porch swing which was a slightly spicy, aromatic version of an old fashioned. Top quality brandied cherry garnish made it superb. The cherry on top of my whole experience was the friendly bartender "Crimson". What an amazing find for this bar! I can't wait to come back.“

“The food is wonderful, we got a tour of the building and it is magnificent. The staff was so friendly.“

“These folks catered my wedding recently and they couldn't have been better! Total pros from start to finish and the food was fantastic. Nothing but compliments about the food from our guests. Cam was wonderful to work with leading up to the event and Cara was a great day-of point person.“

“My wife and I have been members for a couple of months and are very happy with the meals sent by Chris and his team. The focus seems to be on lean proteins (some vegetarian options). Some meals are gluten and dairy free, but all of the meals seem to be reduced gluten (if any) and less dairy. The meals are well balanced and really filling. The weekly menus are varied, although it is always great to see some of our favorites pop back up from time to time. They are very nicely seasoned and everything tastes fresh. We've found the food tastes great and we really appreciate that it is portion controlled. Orders are due by Wednesday at midnight for delivery the following Sunday and Wednesday. The ordering system on the website lets you know which meals are scheduled to arrive on which day. The split delivery is great from a freshness perspective (we had a few of the Sunbasket pre-cooked meals that ended up going bad w/in a day or two of receipt). The meals are labeled w/ the macro information (grams of protein, carbs, and fat) as well as calories (which is great to see!). Be sure to remove the lid and any sauce containers inside before microwaving (lesson learned the hard way....) Meals arrive fresh, not frozen, in an insulated bag w/ a freezer pack included. The bag and freezer pack get returned to them with the next shipment. We are also really happy with the extreme reduction in waste compared to our orders from Sunbasket. Chris is incredibly responsive to questions and feedback, so I suggest reaching out to him with any specific questions. We were a little concerned about having to order 10 meals to try out the food, but my wife and I are both very glad we did!“

“They did a great job with box lunches at an off-sight event. Everything went flawlessly and the food was great!“

“Their catering service 😘“

“We just had your food at an event hosted by Black Lives Matter in Schools. It was so awesome, my daughter asked if we could cater something just so she could have more. The jerk chicken was divine, according to the teen who hates chicken!“

“Very delicious and fresh food, MUST TRY and support them !!!!! My new favorite place to grab-n-go....“

“Oh my goodness! What a fantastic experience!! I hosted a team building event for my colleagues and Renato made it so fun and helped us make absolutely delicious food!!! 10/10 would recommend Renato ‘s cooking class for any size of group!“

“Amazing Valentine’s Day dinner. Thank you for a special treat in the midst of a difficult time. ❤️ It was perfect and so appreciated!“

“Premiere Catering is top notch customer service. Michael and John are both such professionals. The food was amazing, the service wonderful, the prices unbeatable by anyone we found. We will be forever grateful that they were part of our reception. To the entire team at Premiere..... THANK YOU!“

“The best food in Portland! Truly authentic and amazing customer service!“

“It’s an absolute pleasure working with Seasoned Portland. Top quality food and service. We’ve hosted a few in-home parties, and Kristin is a fantastic chef. We’ve enjoyed her welcoming personality, and she is very organized. The food is top quality. I would recommend Season Portland to anyone and wish I could give them a ten-star rating.“

“Los tamales muy ricos 😀🙂☺️“

“Vendor to vendor, Mississippi Delta BBQ is phenomenal. From the people you work with to the food you eat. As a vendor, we see a lot of vendors at various events. We have had the absolute pleasure of working with Mississippi Delta on quite a few events and we are always excited to work those events with them. You will be blown away:-)“

“Absolutely wonderful catering for my brother's wedding - the hors d'oeuvres were so good - the dinner buffet was excellent - and the service was the best part. Highly recommended, 5⭐️, would eat here again“

“I would absolutely recommend Mundo Catering. Communication, flexibility, professionalism, and food were all outstanding for my wedding!“

“Gluten Free Teriyaki Sauce. It's the best ever. I need some!!!“

“Can't recommend this establishment enough! Just had them cater an event at my office for about 50+ people and it went very smoothly. Their guy Chad was an all-star, he made sure all the food was continuously stocked and setup beautifully. Thanks to their staff and James Fowler for running a tight ship.“

“We hired the Portland Catering Company for our wedding and had the most wonderful experience! Katie was communicative, clear, and incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions. They handled EVERYTHING, quirky requests like adding an edible wax seal to each slice of cake, to things I didn't even think to ask. They went above and beyond, the staff was incredibly friendly and hustled all night long clearing things, refilling waters, and packing up food. Not to mention the food was delicious! I would hire them again and again, highly recommend if looking for professional and friendly catering service to handle your next big event.“

“Amazingly great food and the nicest staff! Perfect for lunch.“

“Big Kahuna never fails on great BBQ!!!! The Mac salad is amazing like always..“

“The food for our wedding was amazing, as expected. However, what really stood out was the Chef and staff's absolute enthusiasm for the theme, and their passionate expression of their talents through the meals. Our wedding was Medieval-Fantasy/Lord of The Rings themed, and the chefs went out of their way to research real authentic medieval cuisine with an inspired twist, which really made the event truly magical. I would also like to thank Tracy for her amazing customer service and eagerness to bring the magic to life.“

“Our company loves using Spork! They do a fantastic job every time they're in our office.“

“Everything was perfect and tasty!service was excellent“

“Ordered a bean rice and cheese burrito. It was mostly rice but the rice was DELICIOUS! The burrito was hot af when it came out but somehow when I finally made it down to the cheese it wasn’t melted. That’s the only reason I’m not giving this burrito a 5 star.“

“Amazing catering experience. Super great Hawaiian cuisine and the delivery & set up(customer service) was exceptional. BTW, the sauces are super good! If your looking to host a party, don’t miss out on what the Local Grind has to offer.“

“😀Today a group of nine of us former colleagues had a most pleasant lunch. The wait staff were very well organized and tuned in to our needs, while being in the background in our conversation. I am very impressed and recommend this place, despite their need for a restricted parking lot.“

“I will not use any other catering company and I work in PR so this says a lot. Chloe Fennell is so great to work with. Very communicative and creative. I especially love her designs. And they can work with your budget to create what you want...making a down-to-earth budget appear extravagant! I've hired them for a Bat Mitzvah, personal parties and a few work events.“

“Elephants Catering was in charge of catering at the wedding my venue hosted on 9/4/16. From the first interaction with them you could tell customer service and getting things perfect for their client was a priority. I emailed back and forth several times with Holly and she was great to communicate with! On the day of the wedding, Elephants crew showed up early, was super professional, and did such a great job. The staff was super friendly and willing to jump in and help with whatever was necessary to make the day perfect for the bride and groom. They also did an amazing job cleaning our kitchen and leaving things how they were when they arrived. I would highly recommend them to anyone searching for caterers!“

“Great service and amazing food. Everything was exactly as described and we continue to use Fresh Tomato for all our corporate events. Thanks guys!“

“Ben & Jerry's Catering (New Avenues for Youth),
I can't rave enough about the pleasant, worry-free experience I had with Erica from Ben & Jerry's Catering at the Yamhill shop in Portland. Of the 3 Ben & Jerry's shops I contacted in Portland, she was far and away the most responsive and helpful! In a year of researching, shopping, planning and choosing vendors for my daughter and son-in-law's wedding, my experience with Erica was one of the best! I checked all the ice cream caterer's in the area. Most of them were quite expensive and had limits, restrictions, and extra charges once you got down to an estimate. Erica was one of the most easy-going, honest, cooperative vendors I had the pleasure of working with. She was so responsive and agreeable to all my questions and requests! When I was concerned about not having a choice for our handful of gluten-intolerant guests, she offered to bring some berry sorbets. As always, Ben & Jerry's ice cream is excellent and they offer so many unique and delicious options! To top it all off, Erica informed me that when you hire Ben & Jerry's Catering, you're also supporting New Avenues for Youth which provides job training to youth experiencing housing instability. While some of the B&J's corporate liberal causes don't appeal to me, anything supporting and taking care of vulnerable little ones and youth has my utmost support! We felt honored that in celebrating my daughter & son-in-law's special day, we were also able to contribute to an important cause. Thank you Erica for being such a joy to work with!!“

“Very laid back and causal dinning. Perfect for a girls fun dining or romantic lunch.“

“Good food & service. Thank you, Juana“

“Came in with my friend on the day that they give free ice cream today. Took a bunch of videos and photos. I hope you enjoy it. I do this every year. Definitely want to watch the videos now. Easy public transportation to get to. And a lot of these they’re going around that you can do.“

“Food was delicious!!! Portion sizes were pretty good to the point of me having 2 meals off one serving of something. The spicy rating is reasonable and a 2.5/3 was a good flavorful spice. Potstickers were good and chicken wings were fried amazingly! You have to go to the counter to order, which can make holding your table a struggle but we just went up to order individually. We got there when it was pretty empty and by the time we were leaving the place was busy for sure.“
