50 Best Caterers in Philadelphia

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

“I have been ordering performance meal prep for years and it slaps every single time. Always 5 stars. It’s fresh, handled well, and the home delivery is so convenient. I left a review years ago but had to leave another because I love it so much. We usually order around 20 meals (plus 6-10 orders of protein pancakes) and freeze about half - they freeze so well and they are easy to take out for dinner when we have busy weeks. My 2 year old and I split the orange salmon the other night for dinner, that’s how big the portions are. You know it’s good when a toddler eats it! I’m pregnant with my second and even when I am sick and nauseous, I’m able to eat performance. It’s really like having take out at home, if you haven’t tried it, or are debating it, do yourself the favor you won’t regret it!“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Hands down they are the best“

“It was a pleasure to work with DiAntonio's Catering for my baby boy's first birthday party. Doug, together with Rebecca, were our main contacts. They provided all the information I needed and were always available to answer questions and provide helpful suggestions. On the day of the party, Doug and Stuart provided excellent, thoughtful service. Our guests complimented the food and the display. I highly recommend them for your parties!“

“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!!“

“I'm from out of town and a real Philly cheesesteak has been on my bucket list for a while. Del Rossis did not disappoint. That was the best cheesesteak I ever had. I will probably dream about it later. I ordered a pizza as well, and I liked it better than any Connecticut pizza I ever had. Del rossis is a must go if you're close to philly. Absolutely delicious.

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

“We got married at BATB on 02/28/26. The Finley team is unmatched! Beyond their beautiful venues, they are a team of professionals that know weddings inside and out. They help bring your vision to life and are willing to make accommodation outside of their usual offerings. The communication from start to finish from this team was great. Their packages per person let you budget for your wedding without many surprises at the end. You can keep it simple or upgrade as needed. We also picked this team because their wedding food is unmatched. Our guest still rave about the cocktail hour and dessert room months later. My husband and I hope to be invited back to this venue as someones guest one day to relive and enjoy all of the food again!!“

“Quick and Friendly service“

“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 😃“

“Hyvä maukas ruoka ja sekä palvelu.“

“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 .“

“We used Jerry’s for my 50th birthday and it was a huge hit. The team was great to work with and guests loved the food - especially the pulled pork! I usually do the cooking for parties but decided to make this one easy and I’m glad I did.“

“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!“

“If you are looking for a top notch catering service call B & S Soul Food Catering. I gave a cookout and use them and everything was delicious. All my guest kept asking who cook the food because every thing was so good. Thanks B & S catering you done a superb job. Will definitely be giving you a call for my next event !!!!!!!“

“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!“

“Excellent choice for Graduation party. Whole Trancheta the crowd favorite. Cooked perfect!“

“Delicious! Hands down the best!“

“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 💍👍“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!!“

“Great Club. Five stars!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.

“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!“

“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!“

“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“

“The food prepared by this chief was delicious. The fish was seasoned very well and most recently the peach cobbler was delicious. You will not be disappointed. The serving sizes are very adequate. All I can say is “ try it, you’ll like it.” by P.T. Bakes“

“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!“

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

“everything is so perfect!!!“

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

“Went for my birthday with a group of 6 women and wished we had the option to order family style be we had plans right after to go dancing and couldn't take leftovers with us. Instead we were told the pre-fixe was 3 course smaller portions so we got all got that and ended up throwing away 90% of the food served to us. The portions are so huge. Great value for $40 but It was unnerving how much we wasted because of our plans :(“

“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! ❤️👍🎉🍰🧁“

“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.“

“O melhor clube da região de Filadélfia!“

“Beautiful souls, making beautiful food! 😋😋😋“

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

“So darn good! Get three of these for lunch and it’s perfect. Wish they would bring back the starter flavors. But everything is delicious. Kids will also love it!“

“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 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“

“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!“

“So they came to my mom’s school event and I got an iced caramel latte with whole milk and omg I must say, I went back for 2nds lol it was so good. I had to get a business card that way I can stop in the store and get more one of these days. I highly recommend. Also, my daughter said the hot chocolate they served was delicious 😋“
