This catering company is the best. The food was hot and tasted great! They didn't bother us on the wedding day they took care of setting up and serving and when the time limit we put in place was up, they packed up and left. NO HASSLES! I'd recommend them to everyone! Grade-A-Catering helped me plan an entire weekend of events from almost 800 miles away.
They were very helpful throughout the whole process and were always extremely professional. Emma had many wonderful menu suggestions and was incredibly flexible when it came to changes with the menu. Everyone loved the food and all of the food preparation, delivery, set-up and service was seamless.

Grade A catered our employee Christmas luncheon and it was a great success. Emma helped me plan a wonderful menu which everyone enjoyed. The delivery team did a good job of getting everything set up and ready to serve on time. The meal was delicious and offered several options to please everyone.

Grade-A Catering really came through for our small business! Our original plan to purchase locally made biscuits for a big event fell through, and the ladies at Grade-A were not only friendly and receptive to our week-of order, they went above and beyond by delivering warm fluffy biscuits the morning of our event. I wish I had a photo to share, but I was too busy serving happy patrons. The biscuits were delicious, and the service was top notch! We highly recommend using Grade-A Catering.

Once again Grade A Catering came through. We had a mix up on our dates. Once realized, they had no hesitation to get it completed and to us. They are a world class service. We always enjoy the amazing food they provided but also the courteousness of their staff. From small gatherings to large ones Grade A always comes through. Highly recommended.

I contacted Grade A to cater our annual golf trip. Emma was super easy to work with. I emailed her what I wanted from their awesome extensive menu, she offered great recommendations, and sent me the proposal the next day. Made payment over the phone & arranged for me to pick up the food from their office. On the way to their office, I got stuck in traffic & they stayed a little later so I could pick up our food. The food was absolutely perfect. Portion sizes for 8 adult men were spot on. The hummingbird cake & peanut butter pie.......WOW! I can without a doubt say I have found our new catering

Highly recommend! Grade A did a wonderful job catering our wedding reception. The Chicken Marsala, Pork Loin, and sides were exceptional and the servers went out of their way during and after dinner to make the whole experience perfect. Communication was great from start to finish.

An excellent addition to a hassle-free golfing weekend with friends. If you want to minimize time on the road and/or waiting for table availability at local restaurants, and MAXIMIZE time breaking bread with companions and enjoying quality food in the comfort of your accommodations; Grade-A Catering should be considered. Great quality for the price.

Starting with sitting down months ago with Ms. Emma to discuss food selections for our wedding reception, the whole process leading up to our BIG DAY was a very pleasant experience. Her expertise in planning was extremely helpful and she was able to make some awesome suggestions that made the day flow smoothly. Grade-A was the perfect choice for our needs. I was able to communicate with Ms. Emma and Ms. June (front office) easily and I appreciate the responsiveness during the planning. Our food serving tables were set up beautifully, cleanliness and safety was evident, and the professionalism among
