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!Marguerite Murad
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.michelle reuben
T&L was a pleasure to work with. They were responsive, professional, and detail oriented. The food was delicious and the staff at the venue were incredibly helpful. We would definitely recommend using them.Wendy
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!Shannon Reis
We recently hosted my husband's 50th birthday party at James Ward Mansion in Westfield. We chose T&L for the catering. Tom was absolutely wonderful to work with. We wanted an elegant sit down dinner that was very detailed on how we wanted things to flow and look like and they delivered! Jaci was our Maitre d who was very lovely, informative and attended our guests needs and accommodated everyone. We cannot thank Jaci enough for making our event flawless and memorable. Lisa the bartender was great and all the staff who were there that night were all wonderful. Thank you Tom and the team for making my husband's milestone party memorable! If you ever want to host at James Ward Mansion or anywhere else in NJ T&L Catering is the place to go! Kind regards Mulki & DanMulki Osterberg
We had an excellent experience with T&L Catering for our “Jack & Jill” Baby Shower. Their attention to detail and impeccable service made our event unforgettable. The staff went above and beyond to ensure every guest, especially this mom-to-be, felt incredibly special and well taken care of. From start to finish, they exceeded all expectations. We will gladly use their services again! Thank you all so much!April Delucca
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.Klaudia
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!Astrid Zuniga
The food was delicious. The service was superb. Stephanie was amazing. She went above & beyond to ensure everything went perfect for us. Thank you all so much for allowing us to enjoy our day without the stress. Perfect 10 in our book. John & Catalina Pizza. xoxoCatalina
I have used T&L Catering twice now and they do not disappoint! My guests raved about the food! In addition, the staff was very accommodating, I was not supposed to host the holidays at my house, but plans changed last minute. I contacted T&L less than a week in advance and they were able to cater my gathering! I highly recommend T&L Catering! Update December 2023: I have now used T&L Catering for a third time! They are still amazing! Again my guests were raving about the delicious food! Everyone wanted to take home the leftovers! The whole process is seamless, the staff is courteous and helpful! I highly recommend T&L for your catering needs! I would not even consider using anyone else!Cynthia Rooney
We used T&L catering for our June 2023 wedding and could not be happier with our decision. Working with T&L was one of the easiest parts of planning our wedding and we felt confident in our decision always. The food was amazing and so much for the price as well. Highly would recommend working with them, Tom and his family are incredible!jamie giordano
Tom and his team are amazing. Jaci our maitre'd went above and beyond to help us ay our wedding. We didn't hire a day of coordinator but our wedding went well. They also helped with setting up our diy decors. They brought us food and drinks while we were having our pictures taken after the ceremony. The food was amazing! Thanks so much. I'm so glad to be working with you.D Iman
We are so happy we went with T&L catering for my sisters bridal shower. The food and service was AMAZING. They have a large menu of selections to choose from which was nice. We received many compliments from our guests! Such a great team as well.Claudia Rusin
T & L makes having a party the easiest! Linda is wonderful through the ordering process and delivery and set up is always on time and done perfectly. Really, the food is one less thing I had to worry about and it is always delicious. Everyone always asks where it’s from…the best place around…T & L! Definitely our family’s go to!Danielle Roach
T&L was a perfect fit! All the staff was extremely helpful & accommodating! Georganne especially! She took care of me, the bride, all night. Even made a special run for more Coke Zero <3 Many kudos on the food from the guests! 1000% recommend!Olga Krowicka
We used T&L Catering for my mother's 80th birthday party. The food was all outstanding as was the service. We went to the North Plainfield location to pick up our food and the staff loaded everything into our van quickly and neatly. All the guests at the party raved about the food. Thank you.David Camiolo
From start to finish T& L were wonderful. Tom, Stephanie and crew were professional and courteous. They did a beautiful job. Food was amazing. Service was perfect. S They really made our grand opening event special. I highly recommend T & L for whatever occasion.Jamie O'Brien
I found T&L Catering through our wedding venue, James Ward Mansion, for our wedding in June 2024. From beginning to end, T&L was a warm but professional presence while planning our wedding. Although I cannot recommend James Ward due to several errors made by their staff, working with T&L was the silver lining during a stressful process. I communicated with Pam and Tom Tavalaro and their chef (sorry that I'm forgetting his name!) leading up to our event. They answered our many questions with care and provided such great information whenever we needed it. On the day of the wedding, they surprised us with a few extra dishes, including one that incorporated my husband's Caribbean heritage. Because our venue required a room flip, their staff also set up our table place settings and made everything beautiful. They were so thoughtful -- I definitely recommend them.Jaryn
Had a great experience at T&L for my daughter’s 1st birthday. The food was delicious and the staff was phenomenal. We rented the hall in Linden and had 90 people. Everything was great and I’d def recommend anyone who is looking for a great place with great food and great prices.Viviana Perperas
Once again T&L delivered an amazing experience with THE BEST staff onsite and offsite. Planning with Pam and Tom the weeks leading up to our daughter's sweet 16 was a breeze and our party staff took care of every single detail that night. Food is always delicious and fresh. We love T&L and will definitely be planning our next party with them again!Dominick Rotondo
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!Arielle Rottman
We used T&L catering for our wedding at the James ward mansion. Tom, Pam and jackie are just amazing so accommodating they took the stress out of the typical catering experience.

I have hired T&L for 3 parties so far, always a great experience start to finish. Great family business, great staff and venues. Everyone always says how great of a job they do and how good the food is. I will continue to use T&L for all my family parties!!Nicole Rhodes
T&L catering is the best !! They are amazing ,caring and extremely professional. Beginning with Pam and Linda they have so much patience. They are the best at making sure everything my daughter wanted for her Sweet was achieved. It was so stress free. We had her Sweet on March 30, 2024 and let me tell you how wonderful and attentive the staff was. Leo was constantly checking in on us. The staff Andres, Guiliana and Jordan were amazing on top of everything. So professional and let me not forget about our wonderful bartender Jesse !!! She definitely took care of everyone !! Next the food was ABSOLUTELY delicious!! I am so happy to have done her special day with them. It was a wonderful experience. I truly recommend them to any one looking to have an event. Believe me if I could give 10 stars I would. Thank you all so much for makin my baby's day so extraordinary!Carolina Bermudez
I just had a party catered by T&L and they were extremely professional, provided great setup service and the food was stellar! Not only did they make my day easy, they made my guest very happy because everyone loved the food. Thank you T&L it was a hit!!!Linda Vaughn
T&L Catering went above and beyond for our event! The presentation of the dishes was not only visually stunning but also reflected the high-quality ingredients used. The attention to detail and professional service truly elevated the overall experience. Our guests couldn’t stop raving about the delicious and diverse menu.Wil Belloso
T&L Catering is an outstanding catering company to work with and made our wedding day incredible. We worked directly with both Tom and Pam throughout the planning process for our wedding, and they could not have been more helpful and accommodating when it came to making our day amazing. The amount of food/dining options they offer for a wedding reception is immense, and there are no wrong choices when it comes to your decision. Our guests raved about the selection and quality of the food — from cocktail hour to dinner to dessert, everything was outstanding. Everyone says that it’s so hard for the bride and groom to eat at their wedding reception, but our maitre d’ Georgeanne made sure that wasn’t the case, making sure that even though we were constantly running around talking to our guests, there was food ready for us and on our table at all times, she was absolutely tremendous. Overall, we can’t recommend T&L enough — their level of service from the planning process through the day of our event was unmatched, and the food was spectacular, they’re the best!Michael Yard
We recently had the pleasure of working with T&L Catering for our tented wedding reception on June 6th, 2024, and we couldn't be more delighted with the experience. From the moment we contacted T&L, Tom was incredibly flexible, accommodating, and quick to respond to all our needs and questions. The team at T&L went above and beyond to ensure that our lunch reception was absolutely perfect. Our guests couldn't stop raving about the delicious food, which was beautifully presented and exceeded all expectations. The vino chicken was one of our favorites! The service was spectacular, with the staff being attentive, professional, and friendly throughout the event. We are extremely grateful for everything T&L did to make our special day unforgettable. We would highly recommend them for any event or wedding. Thank you, T&L Catering, for making our wedding reception a truly memorable occasion. -Jackie & KethanJackie Lynn Valdez

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.Fredy Reyes

A friend recommended T&L Catering, this friend has been using them for all her family events and had all great things to say about them. I decided to do a bit of digging since I needed a catering company to use for one of our biggest school fundraisers. After contacting several catering companies, T&L Catering was great from beginning till end. It was a breakfast full of am delights, all breakfast was amazing. Not only would we use them for our school events/fundraisers again but I personally would use them for my family and friends events. Highly recommend, very professional, on time for food delivery and communication with Tom was always on point. Thank you so much T&L Catering.Jelexsa DeJesus
T&L Caterers did an amazing job with our company luncheon. This marks the second year that we have used them at our company, although I have personally used their catering services in the past. And as always, their food and their service are amazing! Thank you, T&L Caterers!Walter Avena
