    Eat with tailgate gourmet!!!!

    ️️️️️ WOW, WOW, WOW!!! Where do I even begin?! Tailgate Gourmets absolutely KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK at our wedding!! From the incredible food to the outstanding service, we truly could not have asked for a better catering experience! The number of compliments we received from our guests about the food and service was INSANE! Everyone was raving about how delicious everything was, and we couldn’t agree more! Every single dish was absolutely amazing! But what really stood out was their incredible team and attention to detail. Everything was so organized, perfectly timed, and seamless! They went above and beyond to make sure everyone was taken care of, especially our wedding party. The extra attention and care they gave us throughout the evening did not go unnoticed and meant so much! When you’re planning a wedding, you hope everything comes together perfectly, and Tailgate Gourmets exceeded every expectation. They helped make our day stress-free, enjoyable, and absolutely unforgettable! Thank you to the entire Tailgate Gourmets team for being such a huge part of our special day! We are beyond grateful! If you’re looking for a catering company that delivers AMAZING food, exceptional service, and an incredible experience from start to finish, LOOK NO FURTHER!!

    Best Team, Best Food

    I can’t say enough good things about Tailgate, specifically John and Julie. Throughout contact their communication was clear and informative. We took advantage of a complimentary tasting and of course the food was delicious from the start. However, the attitude and conciseness of the presentation that day was what really sold us. After booking the team kept in contact, and were quick to respond to any questions we had. As wedding day approached, the team was responsive and accommodating to all our final requests. The day of couldn’t have run more smoothly, and the food we ate was even better than the food we originally tried at our tasting. Our guests couldn’t say enough good things about the food, “I could eat 5 plates of the mashed potatoes” or “That steak marinade was delicious”. Overall, I am eternally grateful for John, Julie, and the rest of the Tailgate Gourmet team for the amazing food and seamless service they provided on the best day of my life. Would absolutely recommend them a million times over.

    The best caterer

    John and Julie Andrew and I would like to take a moment to express our sincerest heartfelt gratitude towards you both and your entire staff. After dinner was served, the rest of the evening’s conversations started with that the food couldn’t have been better. From start to finish, everything was beyond incredible and exceeded our expectations. Your staff was incredibly kind and we were so impressed with the level of professionalism they showed. We truly cannot thank you enough for being a part of our special day.

    Amazing Tasting

    Finding the perfect caterer was at the top of my priority list and I’m so happy we found John and Julie. Not only are they extremely reasonably priced, they offered a complimentary tasting! The tasting completely exceeded our expectations. They were super informative and helpful, walking us through what our day will look like, and all the food we tasted was amazing. We can’t wait for our wedding day with them!

    Hot Grills, Happy Guests and a Memorable Day

    We had a Nor'Easter hit our wedding day, but John and his team at Tailgate Gourmet Catering rolled with it like pros. When we needed to change the buffet location last minute, they adapted without missing a beat and made it look beautiful. The food was seriously delicious—I'm still thinking about those pulled pork sandwiches, and our guests couldn't stop raving about John's mashed potatoes. From the tasting to the big day, the whole experience felt smooth and stress-free because John listened to what we wanted and actually delivered it. Every guest left talking about how good the food was, and honestly, we felt the same way. We'd absolutely have them cater our next celebration. Nothing but 5 stars and I truly mean it.
