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
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
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
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
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
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.Daniela Palme
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
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 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
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
The 90th birthday party for my mom was epic. The appetizers were amazing and everyone enjoyed the dinner. The staff was amazing and very professional, and the location was the perfect size and it was very clean. I highly recommend T&L Caterers for your next party..Valerie Cross
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
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
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
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
I can't say enough about how pleased we were with the service, food, setup, arranging etc. Food was so good and plentiful. People were so easy to work with. Don't think twice and book with them. Thanks again - 100th Birthday celebration 2024Momma
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 had our wedding at the beautiful James Ward Mansion, and T&L Catering was terrific to work with from start to finish. The food tasting was great – making it hard to choose between all of the many delicious options! The food on our wedding day was fantastic, everything from vegetable spring rolls to bacon-wrapped scallops to Asian style beef! However, the real star of the show was our matri’d Jaci. She made sure everything went off without a hitch and truly went out of her way for all of us, making each of us (not just the bride and groom) feel special and important. She even helped bustle my gown! We feel so lucky to have had T&L Catering, especially Jaci, as part of our day.Marisa Pollack
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
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 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
Really enjoyed working with T&L Catering for my daughter's bridal shower. Food was excellent and service was great! Would highly recommend them.Theresa Dyer
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
This is our 4th time using T&L Catering at Monarch Hall and the service is always top notch! They are super reliable, communicate well, and are super attentive to all needs.susana bonilla
T&L are by far the most amazing company to work with! The food is beyond amazing and the staff is SO kind. They made the catering for my wedding super easy and stress free. The owner and everyone else were amazing to work with and make you feel at home. If you’re looking for delicious food and an amazing team to work with, please consider T&L! I will definitely be using them for future events!delfina rolon
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
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
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

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
T & L catered for the party at our home, and they exceeded our expectations. Tom was easy to communicate with. The staff that took care of our party was phenomenal, including a driver who dropped everything in the morning. They were punctual, courteous, positive, and kind. The food was terrific. Our guests enjoyed it so much! The amount of food was generous. I'll be using them for my other parties in the future. Thank you for making it special!Dariya Golan
