Exceptional Service for Custom Tasting Menu
We had an incredible experience working with Tailgate Gourmet Catering for our wedding. From our first conversation, they were responsive and professional, answering all our questions with real expertise. They invited us to their Westwood kitchen for a private tasting where they created a custom menu just for us, which showed how much they cared about getting our day right. On our wedding day, their service was flawless and their culinary skills shined through in every dish our guests enjoyed. We were blown away by how seamlessly everything came together, and we'd recommend Tailgate Gourmet to any couple looking for a caterer who truly delivers.

Absolutely amazing!
We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Tailgate Gourmet Catering. From our first conversation, the team was kind and made us feel heard throughout the entire planning process. For my son's graduation party, they transformed our backyard into something truly special with their setup and attention to detail. The food was absolutely delicious—our guests couldn't stop raving about it. They went out of their way to accommodate our requests and make sure everything ran smoothly. We'd hire them again in a heartbeat and highly recommend them to anyone looking for a caterer who genuinely cares about making your day memorable.

Review
Words can’t describe how amazing Tailgate Gourmet is! From our tasting last July, it was immediately clear how much John and Julie care about making your day special. We knew right away they were the team we wanted to cater our wedding. We got married last weekend, and having Julie there made our day absolutely incredible. She went above and beyond to ensure everything ran smoothly, and her attention to detail gave us so much peace of mind. Our friends and family have not stopped raving about the food—every single dish was delicious, and everything was cooked and served perfectly. Not only was the food outstanding, but the service was exceptional from start to finish. John and Julie truly treat you like family and genuinely care about making your wedding day everything you’ve dreamed of. We are so grateful to have had Tailgate Gourmet as part of our special day and cannot recommend them enough. If you’re looking for amazing food and an amazing team, look no further!

Engagement party catering
Tailgate Gourmet Catering made our wedding day special from start to finish. Their communication was straightforward and professional throughout the planning process, which made everything feel organized and stress-free. When bad weather threatened to derail our outdoor event, they stepped up and worked with us to find solutions that kept our celebration on track. The food was delicious and their staff treated our dogs with genuine care and respect, which meant the world to us. They went above and beyond what we expected from a catering company. If you're looking for caterers who deliver quality work and actually listen to your needs, definitely hire them.
