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
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
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
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 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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
Where do we even start? Tom and crew made sure our wedding was special from start to finish. From our tasting to our wedding day, service definitely exceeded our expectations. We are foodies and weren’t sure a buffet dinner would be the right fit for us, but our guests agreed the food was top-notch! The day-of crew was also phenomenal and Georganne our maitre’d made sure we were well fed all night-such a sweetheart! Would recommend T&L to all!Kyler Coutts
T&L was an amazing and professional catering service to work with for my wedding. The food was absolutely delicious! Moreover, the knowledge that T&L Side of my venue was invaluable when it came to set up and clean up. My wedding was a massive success and it is thing, in a big part, to T&L! Thank you so much!Olivia Nobile
We were absolutely blown away by this team! Everything ran so smoothly, and the food was incredible. Our family and friends are still talking about how delicious everything was. Stephanie went above and beyond, checking on us throughout the day and making sure we ate, which we really appreciated. The bartenders were amazing and helped make the night such a fun celebration. We could not have been happier with how everything turned out and highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or event!Echo Sutterfield
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

I could not be happier with how our celebration 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 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. 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 Harz
Highly recommend this vendor. They beautifully executed our event at the James Ward Mansion. Everything from their catering staff's etiquette, support, and food was truly top notch. Starting from their office staff and management, Tom Tavalaro and Pam Tavalaro are a superb team to work with. Extremely responsive, easy to work with, organized, and know all the right questions to ask and ways to accommodate the couples they work with. For the day of the event: Jaci was such an amazing Maitre-d that stood by us throughout the night. She quickly integrated in with our other vendors and worked really well with our entertainment group, our DJ and Emcee, and even our families to help coordinate our activities throughout the evening. The staff team throughout the evening were all so helpful and seemed genuinely eager to make it a great night for us. Their head chef at the event did an amazing job and we are not exaggerating when we share that we received extensive glowing reviews on the food from all the guests at our wedding. This was one vendor we partnered with which we highly recommend and are extremely pleased to have made part of our special day. Not only do they deliver as promised, but they are also great, genuine and comforting people to work with.Mohanad K
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
We used T&L Catering for my sons backyard graduation party. The food was amazing. From the planning, selecting the food to the delivery and setup was stress free. I would definitely use their services again!Celeste Schiermeyer
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
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
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 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
T&L Catering did an absolutely fantastic job catering a party of 40 for my wife’s birthday. Tom was patient and thorough going through all the choices available in setting up the contract – the different food selections, tent size, number of tables & their set up, tent flaps for if it rained, fans for if it was hot, etc, etc, etc. The tent was put up two days ahead; T&L staff arrived early the day of the party and did a great job setting up and making things look special. The staff themselves were very efficient, helpful and friendly. And, the food, of course, was terrific (and plenty of it). T&L made the whole affair easy and a created great experience for all who attended. Extremely pleased!!G Braulke

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
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 offered great menu selections and high quality food. What really impressed me was the competency and kindness shown by T&L catering staff during my event. They kept me feeling supported all day and helped execute the event exactly to my plans.Cari
T&L Catering is amazing! Our wedding guests absolutely loved the food, including the mason jar salads! A special shout out to our MD, Jaci. She’s an absolute firecracker who made every request come true and our vision for set up seamless. The staff was so attentive to us all night, and we truly had no worries from beginning to end. They were so helpful with breaking down too, as we DIYd most of our wedding decor. We had our wedding at The James Ward Mansion, which T&L Catering works with quite often, so it was really nice to be working with people who knew the ins-and-outs of everything. The planning process was a breeze, as Tom and Pam answer every question we had. We highly recommend T&L Catering!!Brendan and Eunice
We couldn’t have asked for a better catering experience for our wedding! From start to finish, T&L was professional, attentive, and truly went above and beyond to make our special day perfect. The food was absolutely incredible — beautifully presented, fresh, and every dish bursting with flavor. Our guests are still raving about how delicious everything was! Beyond the food, the team was friendly, organized, and seamless in their service. They made everything feel effortless, and we never had to worry about a thing. It was such a relief to know we were in such capable hands. We are so grateful to T&L for helping make our wedding day unforgettable. We would recommend them without hesitation to anyone looking for exceptional catering and service.Katie Solosky
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
The service! The food! Top Notch! T&L catering was phenomenal! I had a fantastic birthday party and staff anticipated me and my guests every need. I couldn't have asked for a better team to handle my party. A week later, my friends and family are still talking about it. Thank you!!!Sonseeahray Sonsee
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

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
T&L caterers our wedding on 9/12/25 and they simply did not disappoint. I am a former caterer who had a guest list with a former and very picky chef, and another caterer who loved the food. The Station menu by far is the best option! Come on no one will give you as much for cocktail hr as T&L. Super professional and they know the business which for me was everything. Thank you Tom, Leo, Jackie, Pam, and Linda so very much! I would choose you again and again for any event. The GarciasLorena
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
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
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 catered my wedding this past weekend and everything was seamless. Jackie the maitre’d was phenomenal to work with and is incredibly organized. The food was amazing, their bartenders were great, and planning our wedding with T&L was super easy. Their staff Tom and Linda are super responsive and let us make custom requests at no additional charge. Thank you T&L for everything!!!!!Alyssa Gurkas
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
