T&L is a family owned and run business and THE caterer to reach out to for any event! They recently catered my wedding, 6.2.24, at the James Ward Mansion and my guests could not stop talking about the amazing food! Tom and the team were very easy to communicate with. They made our options clear and were easy and flexible working with us regarding guest who had dietary restrictions, and adding on last minute extras. Jackie was our primary contact on the day of and she was simply amazing. She kindly made my husband and I plates and brought it to the bridal suite to make sure we got a few bites in before our first dance and all the commotion; and she consistently checked in on us to make sure we had everything we could need. I can not thank them enough for helping to make my dream wedding come true. I will be sure to us them in the future for all my events!

T & L in my opinion is the best caterer in the area. We ordered for 40 people for a recent birthday. There were loads of options at reasonable prices. Their delivery fee was SO reasonable and they spent an hour setting everything up. The food was delicious and plentiful. I will absolutely use them again.

Tom was wonderful to work with, from the very beginning when we first reached out, to the day before our wedding with last minute questions. My husband and I had our wedding at my family farm, and hired T&L for the food and the tent/chairs/tables. Everything looked incredible, and the food was delicious!! Tom works with you every step of the way, and has over 40 years of experience with event planning like this. On the day of, Stephanie was our Maitre D for our wedding, and was marvelous. She made sure we were fed, served us dinner so we didn’t have to get up, and made all of our guests feel welcome. The bartenders and all of the staff were awesome too. I couldn’t believe how everything came together so wonderfully. Hire T&L! They are very professional, nice, and amazing to work with for wonderful, quality events that are above and beyond. Thank you Tom, Pam, and everyone else for your hard work and making our wedding day so special and memorable for us. We had the best day!!

We celebrated my daughter’s Quinceañera at The Grand Banquet two weeks ago. I can’t express how happy we were with their services. Everything was a breeze with them. I didn’t have to worry about anything during the party. Linda was so helpful with everything, specially since we had different color schemes for our tables. She made sure everything was as we envisioned. Stephanie worked our party, she is an absolute joy to work with and such a professional. I was at peace knowing she was making sure everything was to our liking and enjoyment. They exceeded my expectations and truly made the night unforgettable. The food is delicious, the venue is beautiful, the staff and cook all went above and beyond. They are very understating, and worked with us to meet our needs. I would recommend them 100% for any event. Thank you for everything!

T&L Catering surpassed our expectations for our wedding! The food was incredible. We chose the 4 station option and would highly recommend. Our guests loved the variety and kept coming up to us complimenting the food. And the staff! They really enhanced our experience! Tom was so helpful with planning and coordinating all details up to the day of the event. Our maitre d, Stephanie, really put us at ease during our wedding. She was there for us during the ceremony and throughout the evening. Would highly recommend for any catering event!

On behalf of my team of 250+, we're so grateful for T&L! We hosted a company BBQ last month and T&L took care of us very well! There were a lot of moving parts that day but the one thing I didn't have to worry about were the food/drinks. Not only were they so attentive and communicative with me throughout the duration of our event. But the food was DELICIOUS! People were going back for seconds, me included! 😂 The ribs and mac and cheese were my fav but all of the food was good! Thank you T&L, we'll definitely be in contact again next year! 😊

T&L Catering was amazing from start to finish. Food was absolutely amazing we had great reviews from our guest about all aspects of the food from the presentation to the taste. Jaci our maitre ‘d was amazing she allowed us to relax during the whole ceremony and always made sure we were fed and had a drink in our hand. She helped with things like the bustle of the brides dress to leaving us additional space where needed at our venue. T&L Catering is very responsive and always willing to go the extra mile for their client. Everyone was amazing from the staff to the chef to the owner. We had an amazing experience with them and will absolutely keep them in mind for future events due to their absolute pride in making our experience top notch.

I have used T&L for two of my family parties now and each time the food was excellent. They supply plenty of food and working with them has been easy. I highly recommend! Update 1/2024: we used the Riverview Banquet Hall for our son’s 1st birthday and it was a wonderful experience. Pam and the team were so accommodating with everything. We can’t say enough good things about T&L!

This past Saturday, January 6th, we had my daughter's Sweet Sixteen at The Grand in Linden. I can't say enough about the staff at T&L Catering. Pam, Linda and Leo were patient and understanding with my questions and were quick to respond from the moment we booked the venue. The most important for me was taking my daughter's fish allergy very seriously. They changed their fry oil to accommodate us and that is very rare in the restaurant/catering business. On the day of the event the staff on premises; Lisa, Leo and Joe and their staff were professional and despite having snow that day, everyone was there to help in any way they could. The food was amazing and plentiful. The room at The Grand is lovely and I would definitely work with T&L Catering in the future. Thank you, T&L and The Grand staff, for making my daughter's Sweet Sixteen a successful and memorable experience.

Delicious food. Great service and were able to get a lot for our money it was well worth every penny. They were very professional and extremely organized. I would definitely recommend them to anyone. Everyone enjoyed the food at our wedding on May 4,2024. We did the station buffet so there was a little bit of everything for everyone. My wife is Colombian and her family even said that the empanadas were very delicious.

T&L Catering did a wonderful job catering a repass. Linda was patient while explaining the menu, even after asking her the same question repeatedly. Any changes we made were accommodated without an issue. The food was delicious and plently left over for people to leave with take-out containers. I would definitely use T&L again and would recommend them for catering any type of event, large or small.

Not enough words can express how wonderful Tom and his team at T&L Catering are. I have used T&L at numerous events, from private parties to networking events. The staff is always courteous, professional, and a dream to work with and the food is INCREDIBLE! Every time I have used T&L for catering, the food gets rave reviews from everyone. The displays the team puts together are beautiful, the food is always fresh, and they go above and beyond when it comes to the setup and, most importantly, the cleanup of an event. One of my favorite parts about T&L is that they do events that range from the most intimate affairs to large, upscale weddings and banquets. Whether you are planning for indoors or outdoors, Tom and his staff are always prepared. I cannot wait to use them for the next event.

We truly had a wonderful party because T&L Catering's staff was so attentive and helpful. They did a wonderful job of setting up the table linens and preparing a signature drink I had asked for with edible glitter! During the party I spilled some food on my white dress, and T&L's chief of staff was so helpful in helping me get the stain out immediately! She was always asking if me or my family members needed anything. Everything was well coordinated timing out the appetizers, to entree, to dessert. Our guests enjoyed so much and were asking where the food was from after the party. They truly made my party memorable.

Our wedding was made truly incredible by T&L Catering. From the moment we booked with them, Tom and Pamela were incredibly helpful and attentive. They guided us through the menu selection process and ensured that every detail was taken care of. On the big day, the food surpassed all expectations. Many of our guests complimented the delicious dishes, which were expertly prepared by Chef Leon. Jaci, our onsite coordinator, went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly throughout the night. Her attention to detail and dedication to making sure we were taken care of did not go unnoticed. Overall, T&L Catering exceeded our expectations and played a significant role in making our special day unforgettable. We highly recommend them to anyone looking for top-notch catering services.

T&L catered our backyard wedding reception and they were FANTASTIC. We had a brunch buffet but they were still able to provide an hour of passed hors d'oeuvres for us, and they made everything feel elegant and move smoothly. Everything was absolutely delicious, and our guests raved about the food! The whole team day-of was spectacular and made sure that our guests had a great time and that my parents' kitchen and backyard were in beautiful shape at the end of the day. It was especially helpful that Tom contracted the tent vendor and the bartender as part of our total contract with T&L - having all three services under one umbrella made the management of the event so smooth. They also took all of my concerns about allergies and food intolerances seriously - we had guests coming with gluten intolerances, nut allergies, Passover restrictions, dairy sensitivities, you name it. Not only did Tom help us create a menu that made sure everyone could enjoy the brunch, he also made sure that everything was clearly labeled on the day. I cannot recommend T&L catering highly enough - they are a great local company, deliver amazing service, and provide simply spectacular catering. Thank you T&L!

Ordered for Christmas dinner. the food came cold the day b4 with instructions for heating. Everything was amazing and flavorful. My one critique was The sirloin roast was a bit tough and even hard to slice... Maybe we just got a tougher cut of the meat but the flavor was still on point. T&L also catered my baby shower breakfast. Food was amazing! Will def be my go to for catering. very professional.

A business doesn’t have 4.9 stars on Google for no reason! My event has yet to happen but so far I’ve felt valued as a customer and I’m so excited and grateful to have these people catering for me. There’s been nothing but care and interest in the details of my day. They went above and beyond to secure my business and keep it. They’ve been very flexible and professional and experts in their field. I’ll be back to update with photos!

I used T&L catering for my daughters first birthday at the Berkeley Heights location for about 75 people. Every one I dealt with during the process were some of the nicest, most pleasant people I have ever met, and the event exceeded expectations! The food was so so so good, and the venue was perfect for what we needed. They answered all of my questions, and talked us through everything. I am absolutely going to use them again in the future for another party, or just if I need catering. Lots of comments from guests about how good the food was!

I can’t write or speak enough praise about T&L Catering! We have been using T&L for so many of our special occasions, events, and holidays. Their food has consistently been extremely bountiful and absolutely delicious! Their packages are so hard to choose from because they offer so much variety! But you will never go wrong regardless of what you select!! Everything is so yummy! My mom loves cooking for the holidays- refuses to let anyone bring any food or even worse (to her), cater from a restaurant. “Nothing beats home cooked food” she says! But the last few years have been physically challenging for her. This year, I asked her if we could cater Christmas from T & L and she didn’t hesitate with her approval!! She was so happy and relieved when she saw all the delicious food from T & L. And the staff and owners are the sweetest and so accommodating. From ordering to delivery- they make the process easy and pleasant every step of the way! We will continue to use T&L for many more special occasions and holidays!
