Good food makes a good wedding! Tom worked with me and made me feel taken care of from the start. The food was delicious. We especially loved the beef wellington app and the filet of sole. People also raved about the sesame chicken and Asian station. We ate the leftover catering for 2 days! Thank you Tom.Ci Ara
I have hosted 3 events at the Riverview Banquet center in Berkely Heights NJ the venue is great, the staff was always professional, and helpful. The food is great on each occasion I choose different dishes from their extensive menus. I would choose them again for my eventsClaire Rodgers
T&L Catering was absolutely fantastic from start to finish! They arrived right on time and handled all of the food setup flawlessly. The food itself was delicious, and the entire menu selection process was actually fun and easy thanks to everything available on the menu. They offered a great range of food options and we truly felt like we got great value for our money. They also recommended Selection Group to provide a server, which ended up being an incredible recommendation that made the whole night run even smoother. Highly recommend T&L Catering for anyone looking for great food and even better service!Courtney Prozeralik
Fab Decors LLC had the opportunity to decorate at Knight of Columbus in Kenilworth for a 65th Birthday/Retirement party. Leo was the supervisor that night. Leo and his staff were absolutely amazing and very accommodating for our event. Leo helped us stay on track with time and satisfied every one of our request. I would definitely book this venue again to work with Leo. Thank You to Tom and Pam for accommodations with booking venue! The Guest of Honor and guest were very pleased with outcome of event!Fabiola Homere
We recently used T&L Catering for my husband’s 60th birthday party, and I could not be happier with how everything turned out. T&L Catering was flawless from beginning to end. Stephanie was communicative and helpful throughout the entire planning process, and everything ran seamlessly the day of the event. Stacey was a fantastic bartender who kept things moving, and Maurice and Rob were both an absolute pleasure to work with. The food Rob put out was not only delicious but also beautifully plated, and the setup was made even more special with all of the detailed décor. Our guests are still raving about the food and service. We will definitely be using T&L Catering again. Thank you for helping make the celebration so special!Melinda Harz
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
T&L were absolutely fantastic to work with. The food was amazing (we're still hearing about it weeks later from guests), and they even made sure my husband and I got a plate to try everything. They were so flexible, responsive, and kind to work with.Kat Figurelli
What an amazing team! My wedding was on a Monday, and I truly wasn’t expecting such outstanding service from start to finish. Jaci was incredibly attentive, organized, and a pleasure to work with. The food was absolutely delicious—our guests couldn’t stop talking about it. Thank you, Leo! The entire staff was kind, professional, and very attentive throughout the event. The whole process was smooth, with great communication every step of the way. Anytime we had questions, they were always helpful and supportive. Highly recommend T&L Catering!Hanami
Thank you so much to T&L Catering for making our wedding day a success with delicious food! You all were wonderful to work with! The guests raved not only how good the food was but how they were full from all of the hors d'oeuvres that they couldn’t eat a lot of the entrees. We look forward to working with you all again! 🙂Kiana White
I used T&L catering for multiple events at my home. This time, we had them service my event at the James Ward Mansion. The food was delicious and the staff were amazing! They were very accommodating and my guests felt well taken care of it. Tom and his team are also extremely attentive and easy to get a hold of throughout the planning process. A big thank you to T&L catering!!Mercedes Padilla-Register
Having never used a caterer before, I searched, found, and read the reviews of T&L Caterering. So many 5 stars!! We booked them for a July 5th Wedding Garden Party for 80 people at our home. During the process Tom & Linda were very patient with me and my numerous questions, which I really appreciated.The price was very reasonable and we hoped for the best. I have to say that they went above and beyond what we expected! The 30 x 45 tent, tables, & chairs were delivered 2 days before. They took the care to set up all the tables & chairs, & even cleaned each & every chair! The service the day of the party was wonderful & prompt. The food was generous, delicious & well presented. The dishware was a nice sturdy quality plastic. Even the cutlery was very sturdy and coated to look like real silverware. Our guests raved about the food, especially the steak & mushrooms, the eggplant rolitini, & the chicken parm. Even the dessert was top notch cookies & mini cakes. From beginning to end, we rate T&L 💯 %!!Patricia Dougherty
We used T & L Catering this weekend for our wedding in East Stroudsburg. We can't say enough good things! Our guests all raved about the food, and beyond that, the staff that we had were absolutely amazing, kind, and fun! It's obvious that the team loves what they do - from the office staff to the day of staff. They love what they do, and it comes across in every aspect. Having a vendor you can trust so thoroughly at your wedding took so much pressure off our night.Tristin Milazzo
Great catering service from start to finish. Note that if your event is at James Ward you must use T&L Catering. Do not let that restriction keep you from booking with them. We enjoyed our contact with the owner Tom, head chef Leo, and assistant Pamela. Options were presented clearly. We had many questions along the way and T&L answered all of them promptly and courteously. Whenever they did not know something they told us who to go to. We were given sufficient time during the tasting process. Our guests really liked the food, especially the appetizers, steak, and pasta. They accommodated our cocktail creations; we provided the alcohol and other drink ingredients and recipes and they made them which guests also enjoyed. They helped us decide the exact table setting and it all came out looking great.Ray
They were incredibly easy to work with from start to finish. They called multiple times to confirm details and payment, left helpful messages, and always answered immediately when we reached out—with clear answers to every question. Pickup was seamless—they met us at the door, loaded our car, and had everything ready in no time. Nothing was missing, and the breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious. We’ll definitely be using them again!Laura Ballance
We had my Mom 80th Birthday Party at the Grand in Linden. The staff was amazing from start to finish. The food was awesome we had enough for everyone and enough to have an after party. I will recommend T & L Catering for future catering and parties . Thanks T & L Catering Job well doneDebra Small
Easy to contact, easy to coordinate, great communication, and the food was delicious. I secured T & L Catering for a customer event, and they were so pleased with the food they were asking me who I used so they could secure them for their own person future event(s). Thank you, T & L for your wonderful and timely service. Everything you provided was top quality.Brad Murphy
We recently got married this month and T&L Catering was incredible! From the moment we stepped into the hall in Linden, NJ, we met Jaci who walked us through what hosting a reception in their space would look like. Jaci was patient, so kind, and extremely accommodating. Pam was also so helpful with helping us stay organized and gathering our menu details and headcount. Although our wedding was two weeks ago, our family and friends cannot stop raving about the food at the hall and the vibes from the staff who were stellar. Don’t hesitate to hire T&L Catering for your next event!Kewe Mbengue
This was our first time using T&L Catering and their customer service was outstanding and food was delicious and plentiful. We highly recommend them and will use them again for all of our events.Jennifer Del Rio
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
We had the pleasure of working with T&L Catering for a recent wedding this past June, and they were fantastic from start to finish. Their team was professional, easy to work with, and completely on top of every detail. The food was a hit—beautifully presented and absolutely delicious, and the service ran seamlessly. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend T&L to future clients and look forward to working together again!Modern Fêtes
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
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
There was an open house at the venue we eventually chose for our wedding. While there we met Leo of T&L Catering. While talking to him about some of our ideas, his excitement matched ours. We knew we wanted to go with T&L. For a year I was in contact with Tom as he helped us craft our Menu and answer all our questions. As the wedding approached I talked to Pam who was very accommodating when it came to finalizing payment and details. They were so helpful, when I told them 48 hours prior about guests changing menu options or being unavailable, I was simply told all guests will be accommodated. But the cherry on top of working with T&L was our maitre d', Jaci. This woman is an absolute queen. She walked in and assisted us with final decor set up so we could focus more on getting ready. She would update us with photos and ask any questions to help capture our vision. She also helped to keep us on a schedule without being pushy and, most importantly, she made SURE we were able to have time to enjoy the entrees at our own wedding (which I've heard is a rare occurrence). From day 1, T&L knew what we wanted with our wedding and made sure to make it happen. They were integral in helping us to have a perfect wedding day and I can't sing their praises enough. Thank you!!Victor Straub
We worked with T& L catering recently and I could not be happier with how our celebration turned out. T&L Catering was flawless from beginning to end. Tom and Pam were super responsive and thoughtful with helping me choose our package. Stephanie was communicative and helpful throughout the entire planning process, and everything ran seamlessly during the party. Stacey was a fantastic bartender who kept things moving, and Maurice and Rob were both an absolute pleasure to work with. All of the food Rob put out was not only delicious but also beautifully plated. The setup was equally special, with detailed décor that truly elevated the event. What an A+ team! All of our guests raved about the food and the service. We will definitely be using your catering services again. Thank you for helping make the celebration so special!Melinda
T&L catering offered a nice menu selection at a reasonable rate. The food was great, but what really impressed me was the competence and kindness of the staff during the event. They helped me execute exactly to my plan and were considerate and accommodating the whole day.Cari August

We used T&L Catering this past Saturday. We hosted, at a local hall, a luncheon for a Celebration of Life for my father. We chose from the Hot & Cold Buffet menu. There were so many wonderful choices and the food was delicious. Plenty of utensils, plates, napkins etc. They delivered to the hall for us, which was extremely helpful. I highly recommend T&L Catering for the quality and value.fi
Had the food delivered to our senior facility this year and in years past. As always everything was delicious and plentiful. I'd recommend them to anyone.Judy Smith
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
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
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 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
I booked TL Catering Linden location for my son's Swag 16 party. Everything was great from start to finish. The office staff was pleasant and helpful. On the day of the event the staff was amazing. They made sure I had everything I needed. Everything went smoothly. They were professional and caring. It was clean, the food was great and everyone enjoyed themselves. I would recommend them.Ericka King
T&L was an amazing and professional catering service to work with for my wedding. The food was absolutely delicious!

The owner Tom and his staff are amazing. They are kind and patient. Our wedding guests cannot stop talking about the service and food. My husband and I highly recommend T&L Catering and we look forward to using their service again for future events. Derrick & VenusVenus
We used T&L for our baby shower this weekend. We ordered the hot and cold buffet for 50 people with delivery and setup. The delivery was on time and took about 30 minutes to set up. We didn't start eating until almost an hour later and the food was nice and hot! It was also absolutely delicious and our guests all raved about it. There was so much food that people got to take leftovers home, which was great. Overall, we absolutely loved our experience and highly recommend T&L if you're looking for a caterer!Leyla Shakirzyanova
Our Local 3005 event was truly a success, thanks to the exceptional service we received from start to finish. From the delicious food and beautifully presented appetizers to the professional and attentive guest service representatives and bartenders, every aspect exceeded our expectations. A special thank you to Tom Tavalaro, whose dedication and attention to detail ensured that every element of the event ran smoothly. He went above and beyond to make sure each guest’s needs were met and that even the smallest touches were thoughtfully handled. His commitment played a huge role in making the event feel seamless and memorable. We are incredibly grateful!DC37 Local 3005
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
I engaged T&L for a conference but would use them for a wedding as well. The food was amazing. The owner was really accommodating to all of the last minute changes and executed on the day of so quickly, I didn't realize they had came, set up and left. Would recommend them, highly, without reservation.Zena
