GR Catering is the go to place for good food and friendly staff! They come, they decorate, they cook, they serve! The luau pig is totally worth it, and you can get it with any Hawaiian menu! Make sure you have them do the entire rotisserie set up with the pig spinning on it! It will blow your guests away!

Gaby and Marty were a blessing throughout our wedding planning process, keeping us constantly updated and being totally upfront with their pricing and what we were paying for. They totally hit the nail on the head with what we wanted for food as well as getting us the perfect shade of purple for our linens. Their staff was wonderful and super friendly and professional and they managed cleanup without us even noticing! They were also one of the most reasonable caterers we found in the San Diego area. Can't say enough good things about them!

GR Catering catered my building's Halloween party last night. The food was delicious. The beef and chicken had a great sauce and were cooked perfectly. The beans and squash were great as well. Jamal saw that I had an infant in my arms and immediately offered to help me, came around from where he was serving and made up my entire plate. It was extremely chivalrous. I would absolutely recommend them!

My name is Sandy, owner of Timeless Weddings and Events. My client hired GR Catering for her wedding in April- best decision. Their food was amazing and they were so helpful with everything. They setup in a timely matter and broke down so fast guests didn't even notice. Thank you so much for all of your hard work! I hope to work with you again in the future :

My friend had a wedding in San Diego this past weekend at a Marina. Everything was so beautifully organized and laid out. The food was fantastic! I really enjoyed their mixed green salad with raspberry vinaigrette. I'm not a big salad eater but I went back for seconds. Everything was very flavorful, hot, and appealing. Good job and excellent, friendly service! Thank you!

Our experience with GR Catering was amazing. They were so professional and truly exceeded our expectations! The staff was great and worked hard to set up the buffet and make things perfect for our wedding. The food was so delicious and all our wedding guests kept commenting on how tasty all the dishes were. Gaby and Marty were a class act and worked so hard to make our wedding day memorable.

Not only did they provide linens, excellent food and service but they were able to get us the rentals we needed (like chairs and tables). They were so quick to respond with proposals and make this entire process so easy and pleasant. We would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a spectacular caterer who offers great food and great prices!

Used them for a Hawaiian Luau and they were awesome! They worked within our budget and the food was delicious. Would definitely recommend to my friends. However, if you have to deal with multiple people splitting the bill, make sure that you square that away before any payments are made. Their system makes it a bit difficult to refund after the fact. Other than that, no complaints! Way to go.

Marty, Gaby and crew provided a delicious buffet dinner for my daughter's wedding reception in August. They were very professional throughout the entire process, while planning the menu and consulting with us on our choices of dinnerware, glassware, etc. As it was a little overwhelming at times, planning a wedding for almost 200 people, Marty was always very helpful and courteous.and he returned my numerous phone calls and emails consistently, as well as answered all my questions on a timely basis. The food was amazing.all of our guests complimented how much they enjoyed the meal. I would highly recommend GR Catering for any event.

I have nothing but nice words to say about this company. I used them for the first time to cater a small event at the beach. Gaby was fantastic. She followed up with me on a few occasions to make sure we had our ducks in a row. I even had a few last minute items to add and she/they did not give me any kind of a hard time. I'm extremely happy with them!

The day of the event Marty Jr. and Anthony were there on time, dressed professionally and quick with the setup and tare down. The food was fantastic, all employees were impressed. Anthony kept me posted every step of the way and I honestly have nothing but good comments to say about them. Fabulous!

This review is for their outstanding customer service. We didn't end up using them for our catering needs because we decided to do our reception at a hotel with their in-house chef but GR catering was so professional and expedient about getting back to me with my proposal that I feel very inclined to write this review. If you are on a budget, they can do it for you!

You just tell them what your budget per person is and they will come up with something that meets your needs. I highly recommend you check them out because their customer service is fantastic and their prices were extremely affordable.

GR Catering did the BEST JOB EVER at our son's wedding reception this weekend. We had 175 people in our yard and ALL went away full & happy. We had a luau theme and GR provided exactly the right food. The staff is AWESOME ~ super professional and polite and lots of fun. From the first phone call to the final clean up, this was a FANTASTIC experience. If there were more than 5 stars available they'd have it. Thanks Marty & Gabby!

We had a wonderful experience with GR Catering for my husband's 50th birthday Laua party - we had about 95 people and and the event was perfect! This party was a last minute plan, I was unsure of the head count until the day before and Gaby and Marty pulled it off wonderfully. They checked out our location a few days before the party, helped me figure out the best location in the yard for the food set up and arrived on time and ready when scheduled.

They brought great decorations - we had a 50th Tiki Torch Birthday themed event - and they dressed the table and stations elegantly. The on site grill was quite impressive and the guest felt that we had gone all out! Marty helped design our menu of Kalaua Roasted Pork, Rotisserie Chicken, Island style rice, Hawaiian cole slaw, fresh fruit, rolls and vegetarian egg rolls - a perfect menu for the event. Overall, our guest enjoyed the food tremendously, we heard rave review on the catering especially the Kalaua Pork and Rotisserie Chicken (several guest said it was better than Phil's BBQ) we had plenty for all and it was perfect. I would highly recommend this catering company. Thank you Marty and Gaby!

I had a surprise party catered by GR Catering and it was perfect! I originally planned to pick up the food and bring it to the event myself but at the last minute I requested that they drop it off for me. The extra expense was minimal and well worth it since Marty and another employee set up everything for me. The food was delicious and there was more then eniugh for everyone! Great food, great service, and a great value! I will be ordereing from them again.
