50 Best Caterers in Philadelphia

“This might sound crazy but Performance Meal Prep genuinely changed my life. The food is delicious (so I actually enjoy it, unlike meals from well-known competitors), it's healthier and cheaper than all the takeout I used to live on, and it saves me tons of time I would spend thinking about, shopping for, and cooking food. I usually get items by the pound but the pre-made meals are solid too. Can't recommend them enough, honestly.“

“Our JAM wedding takes place in just a few short months! JAM has been hands on with us in curating and creating our menu and atmosphere. The food is very fresh and fun! With bright colors and bold tastes, there's something for everyone. We very much look forward to our JAM catered wedding this Spring.“

“Food is soooo good!!!Workers were amazing so sweet and helpful!!“

“It’s such a treat to find such a rare gem of original Mexican barbacoa in Philly of all places!“

“Hands down they are the best“

“We got married at Ballroom at the Ben this past February, and it was truly the best day of our lives! From the moment we first walked in, we fell in love with the stunning venue and the incredible staff.

We had the pleasure of working with Daria, who was absolutely amazing — so kind, supportive, and attentive every step of the way. She made the entire planning process feel effortless, and even without a wedding planner, I felt completely organized and at ease thanks to her guidance.

On the day of, everything exceeded our expectations. Ott, the maître d’, was phenomenal — he orchestrated the entire evening flawlessly, and not a single detail was overlooked. To this day, our guests still tell us it was one of the best weddings they’ve ever attended. They said the venue was beautiful, the food was out of this world and the way the wedding flowed was amazing.

I toured all the Finley and Cescaphe venues before making a decision, and I would choose Ballroom at the Ben a hundred times over. The team is simply the best — so professional, talented, and passionate about what they do. We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect experience! I seriously hope to go back one day as a wedding guest to relive it all over again!!!“

“The team at Jerry's Kitchen is amazing & we appreciate their vendor partnership with us! They pulled through for our team and went above & beyond to provide a memorable experience for our client! Would highly recommend to other event prod./planning companies in the area as well as any other clientele in need of some delicious food truck catering!“

“We had our wedding last night at the independence Seaport Museum and could not thank 12th st catering enough! Everything was perfect, food was perfectly cooked, staff were super professional. Our guests could not stop talking about how delicious the food was. I wish we could have you make our dinner every night 😃“

“Perhaps the most magical dining experience we have ever had.... each and every time we've been there. Rachel creates unique, delicious, complex, surprising, beautifully presented vegan gourmet five course meals that are served by Ibo and Sally with kindness, skill, and passion. Magnificent anniversary celebration. Cannot wait to go back.“

“For my daughter’s wedding we were looking for a wood fired pizza truck. The ones we loved weren’t available and we booked Red Stone Pizza Truck sight unseen. I ran into them later at a food truck festival, introduced myself, and they gave me pizza to try—it was amazing and I breathed a sigh of relief that we chose wisely. Fast forward to June 17, day of wedding, and I was nervous—would people have to wait too long for pizza, did we choose types people would enjoy? Would the bacon wrapped scallops be a hit or miss (you know how that goes). Happy to say that everything was a hit! Jessica was easy to work with and the team there that day was wonderful! No one ever had to wait for pizza, they served it up and had another hot one ready to go. Everyone was so nice and customer service was some of the best I’ve experienced! I had several people tell me how good the pizza was and some even said it was the best pizza they’d ever had! Some said it was the best wedding food they’d ever had! (Even the bacon wrapped scallops were amazing!) I would recommend Red Stone for your food truck or catering needs! Thank you for running things so smoothly and making my daughters day special!!“

“He catered lunch for the staff at the school I work at. It was a fabulous lunch and highly recommend.“

“Hyvä maukas ruoka ja sekä palvelu.“

“My experience with the Waterfall Room was outstanding! It was a pleasure working with Crystal. She answered all of my emails quickly, calmed all of my anxiety, and came through with a party that people will be talking about for a long time. The room was set up beautifully; the food was delicious; and the staff was very attentive during the entire evening. Sal, the m'aitre d' was fantastic! He stayed the entire evening making sure that everything ran smoothly and all of our needs were met. I highly recommend the folks at Swan Caterers if you are celebrating an occasion that will be remembered for a long time!“

“Service absolutely AMAZING! The team was so friendly, eager and having fun together. Contagious atmosphere and their pride for their superior products is so awesome to be around.

The Houdini might be my favorite pizza ever.

I wish sharp provolone cheese was available for the cheese steak, which was a 9.5, even though I'm not a cooper sharp fan.

Everything was awesome. Can't wait to come back.“

“I helped organize a dinner/dance for a non-profit organization. Cannstatters made everything easy and the cost was very reasonable. Planning and communication were seamless. The room and decor were lovely. We had a couple attendees in wheelchairs, so we really appreciated the degree of handicap accessibility that Cannstatters provides. Sarah, the event manager, was a delight to work with. The day of the event, Sarah was on hand to oversee and attend to last minute details. I was very pleased with the entire experience, and I have heard only compliments from our membership. I would definitely return to this venue!“

“WOW. EXCELLENCE SPEAKS FOR ITSELF. Was at a wedding on March 20 2026 the customer service was amazing. Food was over the top 5 star amazing. Thank you for a memory that will last forever 💍👍“

“Quick and Friendly service“

“DiAntonio's Catering made our event an incredible success. From placing the order, delivering the food and the amount of food they provided, we could not be more pleased. The compliments we received throughout the event about the food were never ending.
Rebecca was extremely knowledgeable and helpful in planning our event.
Matt did an incredible job setting up and was so friendly.
Both Rebecca and Matt were professional, friendly, and I believe are great assets to their company.
We chose the chicken francaise as our main course. It was cooked to perfection and probably the best I have ever eaten. Everything was absolutely delicious. It is amazing how they can prepare so much food, cooked so perfectly and for such a reasonable price. Highly recomend DiAntonio's for your next event.“

“Blitz Soul Food and Catering is my number 1 go to moving forward! The staff were very professional and customer service friendly. They had accommodated my catering order on such short notice, just two days before my event. The food was fresh, hot, flavorful, tasted amazing and the presentation was top tier. We ordered Fried fish, cheeseburger sliders, Mac and tuna salad, buffalo and habanero wings and Rasta pasta. My guests were pleased and satisfied. The food portions are beyond exceptional and their prices are great for the quantity of food! I highly recommend Blitz Soul Food and Catering for all of your catering needs!! 5 stars across the board!!!“

“delicious panini sándwiches, ready to go prepped food, coffee beverages and desserts - all served with a smile and friendly conversation. a lovely community spot to brighten your day .“

“It is the most delicious sandwiches I ever eaten. As an Asian, I like food with rich seasonings and good taste. I couldn't find it since I came to the USA 3 years ago, then I found it in Tortorice Italian Sandwiches. I like the spicy one.“

“my first experience with jerk chicken... it was awesome. Thank you!“

“Friendly staff - and great food! I do wish they stayed open a little longer during the week, though (they close @ 3PM)“

“I can’t recommend Hart of Catering highly enough. They knock it out of the park every single time. When a team truly loves what they do, it shows — and that’s exactly the experience you get with Kevin, Bernard, and the entire crew. They are an absolute joy to work with. And beyond the service, the food is simply outstanding. Everything is consistently fresh, creative, and absolutely delicious — thoughtfully prepared, beautifully presented, and genuinely enjoyed by every guest. You can tell real care goes into every menu, whether it’s passed hors d’oeuvres, full spreads, or desserts. I’ve worked with many caterers across Philadelphia, and I’ve never encountered a team this polished, passionate, and professional from start to finish. I manage a coworking space with Industrious in Philadelphia, and Hart of Catering is the only caterer I will ever recommend. Bernard once said to me, “It’s all about hospitality — we just happen to serve food.” That really stuck with me. At Industrious, we prioritize hospitality too — we just happen to provide offices. It’s what makes this partnership feel so natural and aligned. And if you haven’t already, do yourself a favor and check them out in person — you can dine at their location at 21st & Samson, which is just as fantastic as their catering. Thank you to everyone at Hart of Catering for consistently delivering — and exceeding — expectations“

“Great Club. Five stars!“

“We used root to fruit for our annual holiday party and they exceeded our expectations! The food was amazing it arrived warm ( as promised) and prompt ( within the time window we discussed) Thank you for a wonderful experience for the delicious food ! We look forward to using you again!“

“Had a great time at two wedding I attended there!“

“I can‘t reccommend Joshua’s Catering enough!! Kate Winters and the entire staff there are professional, helpful, and reliable. They go above and beyond to make sure any event you have catered by them is a wonderful affair. We had my daughter’s Bat Mitzvah with them on 10/27/18 at Alvethorpe Manor/Abington Art Center and they made it amazing! They work with you to ensure that your event is what you envision it to be. Kate Winters in particular worked tirelessly to help us from the first meeting to the actual event. She was always available to answer questions and troubleshoot. I mean always. The woman does not sleep! Everyone raved about the food and the ambiance, as well as the professionalism and friendliness of the servers. Their motto should be “don‘t worry about your event, we will take care of all of it!” They truly take care of everything. I highly reccommend them for anyone planing an important event! You will not regret it!“

“The food was good, the salmon tasted great, however the chicken was not very good. The cheesecake was smooth and not strongly flavored which after being served two mains was a nice balance. The vegetables with the main could've used some more seasoning but overall a nice meal“

“We were thrilled will our entire experience using Zachary's BBQ to cater our casual wedding at Green Lane Park. From the beginning, prompt and easy communication, our tasting sample was as amazing as we hoped it would be, prompt and easy set up. Our guests gave all the food rave reviews. Highly recommend!“

“I cannot express enough gratitude to Catering by Mario's for making our 20th wedding anniversary celebration absolutely unforgettable. From our wedding 20 years ago to memorable events like our baby shower and our daughter's sweet 16, Catering by Mario's has been the backdrop to so many cherished moments in our lives. Patti, you and your staff went above and beyond to ensure that every detail of our anniversary celebration was perfect. The venue looked stunning, the service was impeccable, The food delicious and the atmosphere was simply magical. Your dedication and attention to detail truly made our special day nothing short of spectacular. Thank you once again for your outstanding hospitality and for creating memories that will last a lifetime. We are incredibly grateful for everything Catering by Mario's has done for us over the years, and we look forward to celebrating many more milestones with you in the future.“

“We rented the space for a full-day meeting and couldn’t have been more pleased. The venue was absolutely beautiful and fully equipped with all the AV we needed. The staff was incredibly welcoming and professional. And the lunch—truly out of this world! Everything about this place and the service was phenomenal. Highly recommend!“

“I used Eatible Delights for catering for a small corporate lunch. Everyone truly loved the food and made sure to let me know how much they enjoyed it. The delivery and set up was on time, and the delivery person was very courteous and helpful. And while the lunch was meant to be simple, I appreciate the extra touch with the bouquet of flowers and the attention to detail when setting up. It let me know I can trust them for our much larger gatherings for the future.
There were small nuances that I didn't really like. I asked specifically for no bottled waters. We are a clean drinking water company, using our own water filter technology and don't ascribe to the whole bottled water culture. I also asked specifically for a majority of diet coke to swap out for the bottled waters. We didn't get those and we were still given bottled waters. While it may seem small to others, it is a thing for the people in this particular office. Aside from that, everything was very lovely. Thank you“

“Hubby was at an event today, he said the food and service you provided was outstanding!“

“Had a wedding last weekend using Brulee Catering. We had a sit down dinner for 194 guests, I didn't have high expectations for the food, but I was very wrong. Filet and salmon were selected as entrees and they were delicious. The filet and salmon entrees weren't overdone and they weren't cold. Great job done by Brulee. The appetizers were outstanding also. The guests were very happy eating sliders and then they also got a great meal. I received many compliments on the food that night. Well Done!!!“

“I’ve worked around here forever but never knew they existed and I stumbled across their Instagram and figured to give it a try! I’m so happy I did. So far I’ve had a breakfast sandwich and a smoothie and everything was so good! I will definitely be coming back for more daily! Thanks coco grille!“

“Where to start!? They eat sleep and breathe event hospitality! We are always excited to hear when a client has chosen to work with Feastivities Events for their wedding or event! The food is not only tasty, but presented beautifully and the style of service is top notch. They truly understand all aspect of an event and bring their A game We look forward to many future events with the Feast Team!“

“My daughter hosted her wedding reception there on July 26th 2025. It is a spacious venue, well-lit with more than the basic accoutrements. Ample parking which is a huge plus! Facilities , mirrors, etc spotless. There was no shortage of staff who were: courteous, responsive, and professional. The starmaid, Dominique handled all guests with ease. I was pleasantly surprised at how tasty the food was and the choice of food options. I asked a staffer if the food was prepared with Love and she said always 😂. She later came back to ask if she was right and I told her ‘it was delicious, you were telling the truth’. An all-around great experience. It’s a beautiful space especially when a decorator takes it to the next level. Super elegant and glorious affair at a great venue.“

“They just opened a location in Fishtown and it's perfect! Love the inside vibe and the outdoor only seating situation. Color scheme on branding is soothing and cohesive. I got a cold brew and it hit the spot! Impresso coffee is impressive!“

“O melhor clube da região de Filadélfia!“

“After several encounters enjoying Herb Scott's food at events over the years, we finally had occasion to book Herb and his team for our son's graduation party. We arranged for and enjoyed their backyard BBQ package and it was a big hit. Ribs, brisket, smoked catfish, corn, slaws, and so on were delicious. Above all, Herb himself helmed a team each of whom were outstanding in both service and professionalism. Lastly, the house and all areas were left spotless. Our sincerest recommendation where quality and good service is desired.“

“Amar and the team at Phila Box Lunch Co did an absolutely amazing job catering our memorial service. The food was incredible, and their professionalism truly made a tough day a little easier. I can’t recommend them enough for any event—will definitely use them again! Thank you so much!“

“My friend and I stopped by the Huntington Valley, County Line Rd location today!!! ❤️I ordered a caramel eclair and it was wonderful! Shop was adorable and great service. Highly recommend! ❤️👍🎉🍰🧁“

“Dinic’s Pork and Beef – Philadelphia Must-Stop!

If you’re traveling through Philadelphia, Dinic’s is an absolute must-stop. The flavors are incredible—rich, savory, and perfectly balanced. Whether you’re grabbing a quick bite on the go or looking to savor something truly local, their pork and beef sandwiches hit the spot every time.

On top of the amazing food, the customer service is top-notch. The staff is welcoming, efficient, and makes the whole experience even better. Dinic’s combines authentic Philly flavor with genuine hospitality, making it a place I’ll always recommend to anyone visiting the city“

“the food that I bought thus far was amazing. it's also great to support Young entrepreneurs making a difference in the community. especially a young black women.“

“everything is so perfect!!!“

“I don’t normally post reviews however I thought when it’s this good, I mean really really good, it’s almost a disservice to the community to not post this! If you need catering for a party this is the family business to deal with; friendly and efficient. I ordered catering for delivery for approximately 60 of my family and friends. I enjoyed every bit of it and I got tons of compliments all throughout the party regarding the delicious food prepared by P & P Caterers! Thank you Milillo family!“

“Daniel Israel catered our Friday night Shabbat dinner; it was outstanding. 100% Glatt Kosher. We chose a vegan , Israeli style dinner, as many guests were vegan or vegetarian, plus it was June, and very hot outside. What a fabulous, tasty, fresh, and colorful meal. Daniel was a pleasure to work with, and always communicated immediately to all of our million requests. His staff were professional, timely, and all smiles. The set up was tasteful with flowers, some greenery, and no fuss details. I cannot recommend Daniel more highly; he made our simcha complete and worry free. We also had a lot of left-overs, which we divided between our children, and ate heartily for a week!!
Standouts: Gazpacho, home made chummus, moist falafel, wild rice with mushrooms, tabouli with pomegranate (and other lovely things!), apple cobbler.
I could go on, but trust me, Daniel does it best
Thank you.“

“My husband and I visited this establishment and were in awe. From the quality and taste of the food to the pleasant and helpful customer service and the impeccable time management. I must say everything was pleasantly satisfying. We order lamb chops that were savory and full of flavor, fried chicken wings that were seasoned to perfection with the prefect crunch to them. As well as Mac n cheese, yams, and veggies cooked just like my grandmother. All tasting like it was made with love.“
