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!
