I love Citron Catering! I work in downtown Phoenix and we use Citron religiously for all of our big events, especially when we need to step it up a level. They always arrive early and are ready to start before my events begin and I cannot tell you how much stress that takes off of me!
I recently hired them for a small event at my home because I know how good their service and attention to detail is. They did not disappoint! My wife wanted a chicken and waffle brunch which isn't on Citron's standard menu, but they made it for us anyways! Not to mention, they were about half the cost

When I'm tasked with catering, I go straight to Citron Catering! I've been using Citron for the past five years. Their service, quality of food, and commitment to the customer is bar none.
I had to plan an Ocktoberfest lunch for our office. There wasn't a specific menu on their website but they put one together. The original menu had apple pie. I requested the strawberry shortcake because it's soooo good.
The next day people are still talking about our amazing lunch...especially the strawberry sauce/shortcake and the mini roasted potatoes!!!

BEST CATERING! The food is amazing, the portions are huge and they always set up the food in a nice/neat manner. I love using Citron for lunches, and they are great with working around any food/eating restrictions. Everyone is very friendly too!! Offices are always so happy when I have this catered, I usually do the cal fresco buffet and it's always a

If you are looking for an impressive menu with phenomenal food at an affordable price look no further - Citron is the caterer to turn to! They also have excellent customer service and great communication. For 3 years in a row I have ordered from Citron for our year-end event to feed 250+ people and each time they have hit it out of the park! Every year I receive praise from my staff on the quality and freshness of the food. Their lunch boxes for smaller events are also wonderful. I can't say enough about Citron Catering other than I HIGHLY RECOMMENDED them!

Great for everyone!! I heard of this place from my mom who had it at an event, and she's a huge meat-lover but she actually was shocked by how much she fell in love with their vegetarian offerings! We ordered their broccoli pasta which was DELICIOUS and was a generous helping that our huge family still couldn't finish and that I was still eating a week later. We also got a couple of their salads and vegetable trays. The roasted zucchini was fabulous. We even tried their steak and chicken platters, and no surprise-everything was delicious. I will definitely be ordering again from them

All the food was cold, the grilled veggies, beef and turkey and found a hair in my salad. I would think the meat and grilled veggies would be warm? The taco salad was not bad but I was turned off by the presentation. The fruit trays looked nice. I should have stuck to eating fruit only. :( The taste to the pasta salad was horrible. I heard from others who tried this place before, they all said that the food is always cold.
Question to Citron is all the food suppose to be refrigerator cold when served?

My company uses Citron for catering client events so I figured I would give them a shot for a personal event. Ordered the baked potato bar for a party with 60ish people (nothing too formal). Citron's team was there early, set up quickly and made everything very easy. Estimates were fast and portions per person were generous. There was more than enough food for my guests, which I was warned about when we were going over estimates.
All in all, a great experience.

We have used Citron at our office for several years and have always been satisfied. We have catered groups as small as 20 and as large as 200, each time the service and food is stellar. Today we made a scheduling mistake(our fault) and called Citron to help bail us out. We needed food for 50 people within the hour. Their team moved into action and delivered a delicious lunch in 60 minutes. I don't know any other company who could have done that...and was willing! We are customers for life. Thanks Citron!

I was catering a party at my office today and went with Citron! The food was absolutely delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. Lynn was very helpful with the order and very impressed with how the food was delivered. The gentleman who delivered it set it up perfectly how we wanted it. The guests couldn't have been more impressed, as was the staff who got the leftovers! I wouldn't hesitate to order from them again, whether it's for a personal party or another corporate one!! Only suggestion is that they put out business cards because everyone wanted to know where the great

Citron was FABULOUS. The food was delicious and Marco was great with the set up. The best part was I needed to add some gluten free options just hours before the event, and there was no problem with them meeting that request. And more importantly, they didn't make me feel like an idiot or that I was inconveniencing them. I would highly recommend them to anyone, and will likely be using them again.

Citron catered our company Christmas Party. The Baked Potato Bar was amazing. The toppings were generous and delicious (steak, chicken, broccoli and cheese, sour cream, butter, bacon). The Salad was very large, fresh, tasted great. The dessert tray was filled with cookies and dessert bars and very good. They are easy to work with, receptive and responsive to requests....and affordable.

Recently used Citron Catering to cater my husband's 40th birthday. They were very easy to work with, accommodated my changes to the menu (replaced dessert with extra sides etc), and served excellent food. They traditionally don't seem to do full service but they were able to include it for an extra fee. At the end of the night they created several assorted platters, making it easy to send guests home with leftovers (there was a bunch of food left over - yay!). I didn't have much time to sample food, but the guests raved about the brisket, salad, and Mac & Cheese in particular

Kent and his team are simply fabulous. The compliments on the food are still coming in. Kent served over 200 people and everything was impecable. I feared that the Fajita Bar would be too common of a menu, but Kent made it unique and spectacular. The presentation was gorgeous. Kent also accommodated my request for special decor to fit the occasion. His attention to detail was spectacular. Kent is easy to work with and does not "cop an attitude" about tweaks in the menu or plan. I would use Citron Catering again in a heartbeat.

We were so pleased with Citron! We hired them for our wedding in northern Arizona for about 150+ people. Kent, the owner, was very helpful as we planned for our big day. They were very accommodating and Kent was easy to get a hold of when needed. We did a "build your own burger bar", and added avocados and bacon. DELICIOUS BURGERS. We were very pleased with the quality of food. Mac and cheese was also so good. Only complaint is that the food was a little cold, even though dinner was served on time. But even still, it was fantastic. We had friends tell us that it was the best wedding
