Hoboken Catering

Last week was my 2^nd time using Hoboken Catering (this time at Barsky Gallery) and again, they did not disappoint. They arrived early for the set-​up, all of the looked and tasted delicious and their staff (a server and a bartender) were professional-​looking and personable. I very highly recommend this catering company!

Todd is a total badass.
My husband and I had our wedding last week at Kolo Klub in Hoboken — Todd was the 2^nd caterer we met. The first rubbed us the wrong way; when we sat down with Todd it was so easy and laid back, he made us feel comfortable right away. Thank goodness we found him!
Not only is Todd really easy to work with — he’s super understanding, accommodating and has great prices!
We did a menu for 100 people — all cocktail party style. Anything I threw Todd’s way, he figured out how to include it in the way that I wanted. He also made sure that he and his staff fed my Husband and I during our party. otherwise, we would have totally missed out on the food!
The entire wedding was amazing but with Todd’s help, our guests were full and really enjoyed their food. With Todd and his servers, our guests felt like they were taken care of and served well throughout the night. I can’t recommend Todd any more highly. He’s a really laid back, easy caterer to work with who listens and does everything he says he’s going to do. Nothing was missing, nothing was done wrong. in fact, Todd and his team over delivered. For the cost, it’s well worth hiring Hoboken Catering for anything.

Hoboken Catering came highly recommended because everyone uses them in our building to throw parties for the common space. This seemed convenient for me so I didn’t look elsewhere. Throughout the entire process, Todd was extremely responsive and helpful. We paid $ 2500 for 55 guests for a birthday party including two servers and one bartender for a 5 hour timeframe. The bartender was very friendly and did a great job. The servers did their job but I received attitude when she tried to take away the food and not all my guests had arrived.
Unfortunately our common room doesn’t have an oven and the sternos didn’t do enough to keep the food hot. I had several close family members let me know the food wasn’t very hot. Also, I paid per head and two of the main entrees (chicken and steak) and it was completely gone before the guest of honor (my husband) plus 4 guest got to eat. I also had 3 no shows. There is no way there should not have been leftovers of every item when you’re paying per head. If I had just ordered trays of food from a local restaurant it would’ve been cheaper (not including cost of service) and I would’ve had more food to go around.
I never ever assumed there wouldn’t be enough food for the amount of money I was paying. We did however have a tray of salmon left over — but who wants room temperature salmon? Gross. Salmon wasn’t my first pick either but on the suggested menu it was listed so I went with it assuming it was a customer favorite.
Because of the embarrassment I felt, Hoboken Catering gets 2 stars. Maybe my guests eat more or other people’s party spaces have had better kitchen facilities but the next time I have a party, I will look elsewhere and if you live in Maxwell Place, you should too.

I echo the other reviews about what a good choice Hoboken Catering is for catering of your parties. My wife and I hired Todd to cater our house party of 48. We asked to sample the menu, so Todd brought over a sampling of selections that we asked about. We selected 9 appetizers which were more than plenty and ordered our wine selection from Sparrows. For our party, Todd provided everything else needed included glasses, platters, etc., along with two servers and a prep chef. They were all exceptional during the evening and cleaned up after the party was over. Our guests are still remarking about how good the food and service was.
All in all, Hoboken Catering is good value and delivers a fine product. We will be returning for future needs.

I don’t have enough words to say how thankful I am to Todd! Without him my party wouldn’t be possible! I was too stressed and Todd managed the food, presentation and rentals from beggining to end. He was always available to discuss the ideas for my party. He made my dream come true! He provided the rentals and was always suggesting ideas for my vision and the theme of the party. The food was excellent and EXCELLENT value! Both, quantity and quality! Everybody loved the food! Elegant, minimalistic presentation… just perfect for my gallery venue! The server he brought along was amazing as well, her name is Ruth. People still talking of how wonderful the service and food was!

My fiancé hired Todd and his team for my birthday Party he hosted at our apartment. From start to finish the food, and rental equipment recommendations were perfect. His team Joe, Joe and Ozzy were great, professional and kept all glasses full and the food flowing. I would definitely recommend using them for any event and will be using them again for our next event!

My mom hired Hoboken Catering to cater my baby shower, which we held in the my condo building’s rooftop residence lounge in Hoboken on April 6, 2014. They were superb. In advance of the event, my mom tells me that Todd Baily was very responsive and easy to communicate with by email, and that the pricing was very reasonable. He provided detailed information and options regarding the menu, linens, waitstaff, serveware, glassware, and cutlery — basically, the whole party, top to bottom. We used the traditional baby shower brunch menu that is available on their website, and all of the food was delicious. It was the perfect amount (with some leftovers, which I appreciated!), and was also arranged beautifully — Todd and his staff arrived well in advance to make sure everything was ready to go well before any guests arrived. We also had a waiter available to pour drinks and bring out additional food. She was very professional and made sure everything was progressing smoothly. Hoboken Catering is clearly a well-​oiled machine, and I will definitely be using them again for future catering needs.

I live in FL and planned a baby shower for my daughter in Hoboken. Without Tod, it would have been impossible to coordinate from afar. Hoboken Catering was professional, courteous, efficient, and just overall outstanding in every way. The food was delicious and the serving staff could not have been better.

My husband and I used Hoboken Catering to cater our wedding reception on 10÷28÷12 which was held at Sinatra Park and it was one of the best decisions we made! I found Hoboken Catering only two months before my wedding when we realized that everything else we had planned went way over the budget we actually had and Todd was so great! The food was delicious, our guests could not stop talking about how good it was! The set up was great, everything was set out so lovely before all of us arrived from NYC since our ceremony was in grand central and the whole process was awesome! Because of the pending hurricane (Sandy) we ended up having to change everything from ceremony location/​time to reception time on the actual morning of our wedding day and when i informed Todd that we needed things to be set up hours before originally planned, he was ready! Todd really saved the day! Wonderful service, excellent food and extremely affordable pricing are what you get with Hoboken Catering. Thank you Todd and everyone for helping us through one of the most important and chaotic days of our lives.
Love,
Sonja and Joe

I knew I needed help when the evite responses started coming in with barely a decline. 100 acceptances… and counting! A friend of discerning taste and frequent social gatherings suggested Hoboken Catering. Todd was great advising on menus, amounts and arrangements. Everything was right. My guests loved the food, the amounts were just right, the service and pace impeccable and the staff was ready to go the extra mile when needed. The price was reasonable, particularly because Todd helped me order the right amount.
