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 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
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 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

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!melissa remmert
This was my family's first time catering with T & L Catering. We were amazed with how professional the staff was and of course how delicious the food was. Our guests were impressed!!Sharon Gianneschi
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! 😊Barry Holmes
T&L did an amazing job catering our wedding, that our guests are still bringing up the food! Not only did all of the food look and taste great, we were well taken care of by the Maître D' Stephanie. From making sure our wedding party had some snacks before the ceremony, to keeping our food plates and drinks full the whole night, she really exceeded expectations!Samantha
I had my wedding reception over the weekend and we had it catered by T&L. I cannot say enough great things about them!! Everyone LOVED the food. It was absolutely delicious and exactly what I wanted. I will be using them for every event I have in the future!!Brie Torbik
I am currently at Taste of Linden and I had the absolute pleasure of trying T&L Catering’s pasta in cream sauce with sausage and mascarpone. This pasta is divine. The taste is well rounded, rich, and phenomenal to say the very least. Downright decadent. I’ve had seconds so far but I will definitely be going back for more..I can’t get enough!! Well done T&L Catering, best pasta I’ve tasted in a very long time. 10/10 recommend highly!Alana Villahermosa
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
T and L catering was great! Every time I called with a question there was someone to answer my questions. Pam, help me decide on the menu and appetizers and help me through the whole process of putting it all together to fit my party. They made it so easy. The food was great and I had many people comment about how good it was. The server was a joy to work with and helped run the show so I could enjoy my . Bonus was I had so much food left over! That only would I use them if I have another party, but I will tell anyone I know having a party to give them a call. Not one complaint here!Catherine Wilson
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. Our wedding guests were very pleased with the service and food. We also used ShopRite liquor store in Westfield recommended to us by Tom and they were great!! Thank you so muchShalan Joyce
T&L catered our 2 day conference for 60+ employees. The food was delivered on time and was fantastic and plentiful. Enough to feed some of the venue staff after our lunch was over and unopened trays to take home as well. I’ll use them again. Very happy with our choices.K Mac
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

T & L Catered an event for over 100 Autism Moms and they all said how much they loved the food! We had lots left over too, so there was more than enough to feed the crowd. Highly recommend and we will use them again at our next event.Robbie And Me
We were both elated with the turnout for our wedding. The crew did an excellent job with setup and cleanup. The food was amazing and everything just flowed flawlessly. The staff were very friendly and professional with the guests. My wife and I were very happy with the service. We would highly recommend you to anyone. We will definitely use you again. Thank you again for working with us and being apart of a special day.Christopher Beaty
Great to work with. Very quick to respond and very friendly staff! Food was good and had a lot of it. All of our guests were complementing the food and asking who it came from. Highly recommend T&L for catering.Stephen Allen
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
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
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
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
Our wedding day was a perfect day. T&L knows what they are doing. The crew did a masterful job of setting up and preparing the food. The staff were very professional and patient with the guests. Stephanie was amazing and took care of my wife and I. The food was amazing and the bartender was excellent. I would highly recommend T&L Catering! We would definitely use them again in the future. Thank you again for making our wedding day special.Christopher Beaty
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
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
There’s not enough words to describe the wonderful job and excellent service provided by Tom and his team from T&L catering. Our event was held at the James Ward Mansion in Westfield NJ. From the time of our first contact with T&L to the day of our event, the level of service and professionalism was top class. I would recommend them over and over again.Leo Loyo
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!Tiffany Mac

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
Our family is so grateful. Sadly, we needed their services for a repass. We rented Mount Carmel hall in Berkeley Heights . It was the best decision I made that week ! The staff were very professional and friendly. The food was amazing, and the trays were never empty. We even took the leftovers home for the families that were grieving. 100% will use them next time, hopefully for a happier reason.Cathy Carone
Had my daughters sweet sixteen party with T&L catering. The food was great. I had many compliments from everyone. Staff was great and attentive. I recommend them without a doubt.L Laboy
T&L catered our wedding and we could not have asked for a better crew. Our guests raved about the food, which was incredible and so plentiful. A massive shout out to Jaci who ran the whole show like clockwork, took such great care of us and was just a joy to work with. We will be using these guys again without a doubtDarren Watson
T&L Catering did a beautiful job decorating for our family's event. The kielbasa and sauerkraut was incredible, and the carving station was delicious. Owners were easy to work with and very communicative. The servers that day were friendly and helpful.Brandi Kovac

There are not enough words to describe how wonderful an experience it was working with Tom to cater a Passover Seder for over 150 adults. This event required specific menu options and some logistical hurdles that Tom, Leo and the staff onsite handled beautifully. The food was delicious and the staff was attentive. People are still talking about how wonderful everything was. I couldn’t thank T&L enough for making the planning process so easy and a pleasure to work with. Thank you!Jennifer DePierro
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
Would highly recommend T&L catering. They were extremely easy to work with, did exactly as planned, and everyone loved their food and service. Tom was always available to chat about my ideas and brought all of my visions to life. Would definitely use them again!Marissa Glassman
