Hear from Our Customers
You’re not just getting food delivered. You’re getting a catering company that shows up prepared, serves quality food your guests actually want to eat, and handles the details so you can focus on what matters.
When your event ends, your guests remember the food. They talk about those kettle-cooked bagels with the perfect chewy interior. They mention the fresh ingredients and how everything tasted like it came from a real kitchen, not a factory.
Most importantly, you remember how easy it was. No last-minute panic calls. No scrambling to find serving utensils. Just professional service that works exactly like it should.
Brendel’s Bagels isn’t just another catering company dropping off trays and disappearing. We’re a full-service eatery with multiple locations across Long Island, and we’ve built our reputation on doing things the right way.
Our bagels are kettle-cooked using traditional methods that create that signature texture you can’t get anywhere else. We source fresh, often local ingredients because you can taste the difference, and your guests notice quality.
Whether you need breakfast for a morning meeting in Holtsville or a complete BBQ setup for a corporate event, we bring the same attention to detail that’s made us a trusted name in the Long Island community.
First, we talk through your event. What kind of gathering? How many people? Any dietary restrictions or special requests? We listen because every event is different, and cookie-cutter menus don’t work for everyone.
Next, we plan your menu. Fresh bagels and spreads for morning meetings. Italian specialties for lunch events. Premium BBQ catering where we bring the grill, utensils, and staff right to your location. Whatever fits your event and budget.
On event day, we arrive prepared. Our team handles setup, serves your guests professionally, and takes care of cleanup afterward. You focus on your event while we handle everything else. That’s how catering should work.

Italian catering features authentic recipes and fresh preparations. Breakfast catering showcases our signature kettle-cooked bagels alongside fresh spreads and accompaniments.
In Holtsville and throughout Suffolk County, businesses and families choose us because we deliver complete solutions, not just food. When you work with Brendel’s Bagels, you get a catering partner who understands that successful events require attention to every detail.
For most events, booking 7-10 days in advance works well and gives us time to prepare properly. Larger corporate events or weekend gatherings during busy seasons benefit from 2-3 weeks notice.
Last-minute requests aren’t impossible, but advance booking ensures we can accommodate your preferred menu items and staffing needs. Holiday periods and graduation season get particularly busy in the Holtsville area, so earlier booking helps guarantee availability.
We recommend calling as soon as you know your event date. Even if details aren’t finalized, we can hold your date and adjust specifics as they’re confirmed.
Our premium BBQ catering brings everything to your location – professional grills, all cooking equipment, serving stations, utensils, and experienced staff to handle the entire operation from start to finish.
The menu includes quality proteins like beef burgers, premium chicken, skirt steak, St. Louis ribs, and various sausages. We also provide vegetarian options, fresh salads, sides, and we bring a deep fryer for items like onion rings and fries.
For larger events, we can provide additional wait staff, dedicated grill masters, and bartenders. Setup, cooking, service, and complete cleanup are all handled by our team so you can enjoy your event without any kitchen responsibilities.
Yes, we work with various dietary needs including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, and other specific requirements. Our kitchen experience with fresh ingredients and made-to-order preparation makes customization much more manageable than many catering companies.
For corporate events in Holtsville, we often create mixed menus that satisfy different preferences without making anyone feel left out. Traditional bagel spreads alongside dairy-free options, or BBQ menus that include substantial vegetarian choices.
The key is discussing requirements during planning. When we know specific needs upfront, we can suggest menu modifications or alternatives that work well for your group while maintaining the quality and presentation you expect.
We serve Holtsville and the surrounding Suffolk County communities including Farmingville, Medford, Lake Ronkonkoma, Holbrook, and nearby areas. Our multiple Long Island locations allow us to efficiently serve events throughout the region.
Distance isn’t usually the limiting factor – it’s more about logistics and timing. Corporate events, private parties, and other gatherings within a reasonable drive of Holtsville work well for our service model.
For events further out or with special requirements, we discuss specifics during planning. Our goal is making great catering accessible while maintaining the service quality that sets us apart from typical delivery-only operations.
Complete setup and cleanup are included in our catering service. Our team arrives with enough time to arrange food stations, set up serving equipment, and have everything ready before your guests arrive.
During the event, we maintain food stations, replenish items as needed, and handle any service requirements. This isn’t just dropping off food – we stay to ensure everything runs smoothly throughout your event.
Cleanup is thorough and complete. We pack up all equipment, dispose of waste properly, and leave your space clean. Whether it’s your office, home, or rented venue in Holtsville, you shouldn’t have to deal with post-event mess when you’ve hired professional catering.
The difference starts with how we prepare food. Our bagels are kettle-cooked using traditional methods that create texture and flavor you can’t get from mass-produced alternatives. Fresh, often locally sourced ingredients mean better taste and quality.
But it’s really about service approach. We’re not a delivery company that drops off trays. Our team stays to serve guests properly, maintain food stations, and handle all event logistics. For BBQ catering, we bring professional equipment and cook on-site.
As an established Long Island business with multiple locations, we understand local expectations and community standards. When Holtsville businesses and families choose us, they’re working with experienced professionals who deliver consistent results, not just whoever’s cheapest.
