Hear from Our Customers
Your guests remember the food. They talk about how everything was handled smoothly, how the bagels were perfectly crispy outside and fluffy inside, how the Italian dishes tasted homemade. You remember actually enjoying your own event instead of running around fixing problems.
That’s what happens when you work with caterers who bring their own grills, handle setup and cleanup, and make everything fresh to order. No reheated trays. No generic catering company excuses. Just food that works and service that shows up.
Your stress level drops because someone else is handling the details. Your budget works because you’re not paying for five different vendors.
Brendel’s Bagels has been serving North Babylon and Suffolk County with authentic kettle-cooked bagels and comprehensive catering services across four Long Island locations. We’re the local catering company that actually understands what works for Long Island events.
Our approach is simple: use fresh, locally sourced ingredients, prepare everything to order, and handle the entire process so you don’t have to. We’ve catered everything from intimate brunches to large corporate events, and we know what it takes to make your event run smoothly.
North Babylon families and businesses choose us because we show up, we deliver what we promise, and our food tastes like it should.
First, we discuss your event needs, guest count, and menu preferences. We’ll customize options that fit your budget and dietary requirements, whether you want breakfast catering, Italian specialties, or full BBQ service.
Next, we handle all the planning details. For BBQ events, we bring our own grills, gas, utensils, and staff directly to your location. For other catering, we coordinate timing and setup to ensure everything is ready when your guests arrive.
On event day, our team arrives early to set up. We cook fresh, serve professionally, and handle all cleanup afterward. You focus on your guests while we manage the food service. No coordination headaches, no last-minute problems, no cleanup for you to worry about.

Our North Babylon catering includes breakfast packages with kettle-cooked bagels, fresh cream cheeses, and continental options. Italian catering features made-to-order pastas, hearty sandwiches, and authentic sauces. BBQ catering brings the full experience – we set up grills at your location and handle everything from burgers and ribs to sides and cleanup.
Every menu uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients prepared the day of your event. We don’t reheat pre-made dishes or cut corners on quality. You get customizable menus that work for dietary restrictions, professional service staff, and complete setup and breakdown.
Long Island events require caterers who understand the local preferences and logistics. We know what works for backyard parties in North Babylon, corporate events in Suffolk County, and everything in between.
We recommend booking at least two weeks in advance for most events, though we can often accommodate shorter notice depending on our schedule and your event size. Popular dates like weekends and holidays fill up faster, especially during peak seasons like spring and summer.
For large events or specialized services like our BBQ catering where we bring grills and staff to your location, three to four weeks notice gives us time to coordinate all the logistics properly. We’ll work with you on menu planning and any special requirements during that time.
If you have a last-minute event, call us anyway. We understand that sometimes events come up quickly, and we’ll do our best to accommodate your needs if we have availability.
We provide catering services throughout Suffolk County and Nassau County from our four Long Island locations. This includes North Babylon, West Babylon, Babylon, Deer Park, Wyandanch, and surrounding communities.
Our catering radius extends across most of Long Island, so whether your event is in a backyard, community center, office building, or outdoor venue, we can likely serve your location. For BBQ catering, we’re especially flexible since we bring our own equipment and can set up almost anywhere.
Distance may affect pricing for delivery and setup, but we’ll give you a clear quote upfront. We’ve catered events at beaches, parks, corporate offices, and private homes throughout the area.
Yes, we create custom menus to accommodate dietary restrictions including vegetarian, gluten-free, and other special needs. Since we prepare everything fresh to order rather than using pre-made dishes, we have flexibility to modify recipes and ingredients.
Our Italian catering can be adjusted for different dietary preferences, and our breakfast options include lighter fare and traditional hearty options. For BBQ events, we can include vegetarian alternatives and sides that work for various dietary needs.
The key is discussing your requirements when we plan your menu. We’ll work with you to ensure everyone at your event has good food options that meet their dietary needs without compromising on taste or quality.
Our BBQ catering is a complete service where we bring everything to your location: grills, gas, utensils, serving equipment, and professional staff to handle the cooking. You don’t need to provide anything except the space.
We’ll set up our grills, cook traditional BBQ favorites like ribs, grilled chicken, burgers, and hot dogs, plus sides like corn on the cob. Our grillmasters handle all the cooking so you can enjoy your event instead of standing behind a hot grill.
After the event, we handle all cleanup including disposing of charcoal, cleaning grills, and removing all equipment. This full-service approach means you get authentic BBQ without any of the work or cleanup hassles.
We prepare everything fresh the day of your event rather than using pre-made dishes that sit around. Our kettle-cooked bagels are made using traditional methods that create the right texture and keep them fresh longer.
For hot foods, we use proper warming equipment and serving techniques to maintain temperature and quality throughout your event. Cold items like salads and cream cheeses are kept at proper temperatures using appropriate serving methods.
Our locally sourced ingredients start fresher, and our made-to-order approach means food doesn’t lose quality sitting in warming trays for hours. We also time our preparation and delivery to ensure everything arrives at peak freshness when your guests are ready to eat.
We handle the entire process instead of just dropping off food. For BBQ catering, we bring grills and staff to cook on-site, so you get fresh-grilled food instead of reheated dishes. For other catering, we coordinate setup, service, and cleanup.
Our kettle-cooking method for bagels creates a signature texture you won’t find with mass-produced alternatives. We use fresh, locally sourced ingredients and prepare everything to order rather than reheating pre-made items.
Most importantly, we’re a local Long Island company that understands what works for events in North Babylon and surrounding areas. We show up, deliver what we promise, and handle the details so you can focus on your guests instead of managing vendors.
