Can’t say enough great things about John and his team. Would absolutely use them again and we’re so happy with how the food and presentation came out. Absolutely delicious, the staff was beyond nice, professional and ensured we were taking care of and we could enjoy the moment. Pleasure to work from initial meeting/tasting to end of our special day.

We cannot recommend Tailgate Gourmet highly enough! They catered both our welcome party and our wedding reception over 4th of July weekend, and they absolutely knocked it out of the park. We actually attended their complimentary tasting before booking, and we knew right away they were the perfect fit. The food was incredible, the team was knowledgeable and welcoming, and we left feeling completely confident in our decision. For our reception, they created the most amazing summer menu — grilled lobster, pulled pork, beef kabobs, chicken kabobs, mashed potatoes, and Caesar salad — and every single item was outstanding. The lobster felt so festive for the holiday weekend, and the barbecue favorites were perfectly cooked and full of flavor. Our guests are still talking about how delicious everything was! The night before, they also handled our welcome party beautifully and set the tone for the entire weekend. We had wanted steamers (which isn’t on the regular menu) and they were able to make it happen! Everything was fresh, wonderfully presented, and executed flawlessly. Beyond the food, their team was professional, organized, and so easy to work with throughout the planning process. John was there every step of the way to answer questions and make sure the menu was exactly what we wanted. They made everything seamless and stress-free, which meant so much during our wedding and a busy holiday weekend. We’re so grateful they helped make our wedding weekend unforgettable. If you’re considering them, don’t hesitate — book them!
Best tasting ever!!

My partner and I had the pleasure of tasting with John and Julie, and the food was incredible! Everything was delicious, and it was clear John has mastered grilling. The experience fully confirmed our catering choice. John’s cooking is amazing, his personality is even better, and Julie was so sweet and attentive. We’re thrilled to have found Tailgate Gourmet Catering and can’t wait for our guests to enjoy fresh, live-cooked food!
