Our locations offer extensive breakfast, lunch, dinner, and barbecue catering services including BBQ catering, Italian catering, breakfast catering, and more. Our breakfast catering features fresh bagel platters with house-made cream cheeses, hot coffee service, and complete setup. Italian catering brings authentic flavors with pasta dishes, salads, and dessert options.
The Islip area includes major business districts like the Hauppauge Industrial Park and Central Islip Court Complexes where timing and professionalism matter.

We use only the freshest ingredients in everything we prepare, offering traditional tastes with refreshing creativity. Every catering order includes professional staff, proper serving equipment, and coordination to ensure your event runs smoothly regardless of size or complexity.
How far in advance do I need to book catering services?
We can accommodate catering needs with as little as 24 hours’ notice, but we recommend booking at least 48-72 hours ahead for larger events or during busy periods. This gives us time to source the freshest ingredients and coordinate staff scheduling properly.
For corporate events or special occasions, booking a week in advance ensures you get your preferred menu options and timing. However, we understand business needs change quickly, so we maintain flexibility to handle urgent requests when possible.

Our staff manages the cooking timeline, food safety protocols, and presentation so you can focus on hosting instead of worrying about logistics. We clean up completely when finished, leaving your space exactly as we found it.
Can you accommodate dietary restrictions and special requests?
We offer customizable catering options to accommodate specific preferences and dietary needs, including Vegan, Vegetarian, Halal, and gluten-free items. Our extensive menu allows us to create combinations that work for diverse groups.
We discuss dietary requirements during menu planning and can modify dishes or provide alternative options as needed. Using only the freshest ingredients in everything we prepare gives us flexibility to accommodate special requests while maintaining our quality standards. Just let us know about restrictions when booking so we can plan accordingly.
