Hear from Our Customers
You’re planning an event, not running a restaurant. That’s where we come in.
When Brendel’s handles your catering, you get more than just food delivery. You get traditional kettle-cooked bagels with that signature chewy interior and crispy exterior that your guests will actually remember. You get fresh, locally sourced ingredients that taste like they’re supposed to. And you get a team that shows up, sets everything up, serves your guests, and cleans up afterward.
No scrambling to find serving dishes. No wondering if the food will arrive on time. No cleanup crew needed. Just you, enjoying your own event while your guests rave about the food.
Brendel’s Bagels has been serving Long Island communities with traditional kettle-cooking methods and fresh, quality ingredients. We’re not just the bagel place – we’re a full-service catering company with multiple locations across Long Island.
What sets us apart in Sea Cliff and Nassau County is simple: we do what we say we’ll do. Our traditional kettle-cooking method produces bagels that actually taste different – crispy outside, perfectly chewy inside. Our Italian catering features authentic recipes. Our premium BBQ service includes bringing the grill, the staff, and handling everything from setup to cleanup.
We’ve built our reputation in the Long Island community by focusing on what matters: fresh ingredients, proper preparation, and reliable service that lets you enjoy your own event.
Getting quality catering in Sea Cliff shouldn’t require a degree in event planning. Here’s how we make it simple.
First, you call us at 1-866-CATERING and tell us about your event. We’ll discuss your needs, guest count, dietary preferences, and any special requests. Whether you want traditional bagel spreads, Italian specialties, or premium BBQ with on-site grilling, we’ll create a menu that fits.
Next, we handle the logistics. Our professional team arrives at your Sea Cliff location with everything needed – food, serving equipment, setup materials, and cleanup supplies. For BBQ events, we bring the grill and handle all the cooking on-site.
During your event, our staff manages the food service so you can focus on your guests. When it’s over, we clean up and pack everything away. You’re left with satisfied guests and zero kitchen mess.

Most people know us for bagels, but Sea Cliff residents get access to our complete catering menu. We’re talking Italian specialties like chicken marsala and stuffed shells, premium BBQ with on-site grilling, fresh sandwich platters, and dessert spreads that actually impress.
Our breakfast catering goes beyond basic bagel spreads. We offer made-to-order omelets, fresh fruit arrangements, and gourmet breakfast sandwiches. For lunch and dinner, choose from our Italian menu featuring traditional pastas and authentic recipes, or go with our signature BBQ service where we bring the grill directly to your Sea Cliff location.
What makes this work for busy Long Island residents is our full-service approach. We’re not just dropping off food – we’re handling setup, service, and cleanup. For corporate events in the Sea Cliff area, this means your team can focus on business while we handle the logistics. For personal celebrations, it means you actually get to enjoy your own party.
We serve Sea Cliff and the broader Nassau County area from our Long Island locations. Our catering delivery covers the entire Sea Cliff community, including residential areas, corporate locations, and event venues.
For larger events or those requiring our premium BBQ service with on-site grilling, we bring our full setup directly to your Sea Cliff location. This includes bringing grills, professional staff, serving equipment, and handling all setup and cleanup. Distance isn’t an issue – we’re committed to serving the Long Island community with the same quality service regardless of your specific location within our delivery area.
Absolutely. While we’re known for our traditional kettle-cooked bagels, we’re a full-service catering company offering Italian cuisine, premium BBQ, lunch platters, and dessert services.
Our Italian catering menu includes authentic dishes like chicken marsala, stuffed shells, and baked ziti. Our premium BBQ service is particularly popular – we bring the grill, professional staff, and handle everything from cooking to cleanup at your Sea Cliff location. We also offer extensive lunch catering with fresh sandwich platters, salads, and appetizers made with high-quality Boar’s Head ingredients.
The key difference is our comprehensive service approach. Whether you’re ordering breakfast spreads, Italian dinner, or BBQ for 50 people, we handle setup, service, and cleanup so you can focus on your guests.
For most catering orders in Sea Cliff, we recommend placing your order at least 48-72 hours in advance. This ensures we can source the freshest ingredients and properly prepare everything to our quality standards.
For larger events, corporate catering, or our premium BBQ service that requires on-site grilling and additional staff, we prefer a week’s notice when possible. This is especially important for weekend events during busy seasons when demand is higher across Long Island.
That said, we understand last-minute needs happen. Call us at 1-866-CATERING even if you’re working with shorter notice – we’ll do our best to accommodate your Sea Cliff event. Our multiple Long Island locations and established supplier relationships often allow us to handle rush orders when other caterers can’t.
Our full-service catering includes everything you need for a successful event: food preparation, delivery, complete setup, serving equipment, professional staff for service, and full cleanup afterward.
For our premium BBQ catering, this means we bring grills, utensils, serving equipment, and professional staff who handle all the cooking on-site at your Sea Cliff location. For Italian catering and other menu options, we provide warming equipment, serving platters, utensils, and staff to manage food service throughout your event.
Setup includes arranging food stations, setting up serving equipment, and preparing everything for your guests. Cleanup means we pack up all equipment, dispose of waste properly, and leave your space clean. You provide the location and guest list – we handle everything else so you can actually enjoy your own event.
Yes, we work with dietary restrictions and special menu requests regularly. Our extensive menu already includes vegetarian options, and we can accommodate gluten-sensitive needs, dairy restrictions, and other dietary requirements with advance notice.
When you call 1-866-CATERING to discuss your Sea Cliff event, let us know about any dietary restrictions your guests have. We’ll work with you to create menu options that ensure everyone can enjoy the meal. This might mean preparing gluten-free alternatives, dairy-free options, or creating custom dishes that meet specific dietary needs.
Our kitchen team is experienced with special requests, and our use of fresh, high-quality ingredients makes it easier to accommodate various dietary preferences. The key is discussing these needs when you place your order so we can plan accordingly and ensure your Sea Cliff event works for all your guests.
Three main differences: our traditional kettle-cooking method, comprehensive service approach, and genuine Long Island community focus.
Our kettle-cooked bagels aren’t just marketing – it’s a traditional method that creates that distinctive chewy interior and crispy exterior you can actually taste. Our Italian recipes are authentic, not generic catering versions. Our premium BBQ service includes bringing professional-grade grills and experienced staff directly to your Sea Cliff location.
But the bigger difference is our full-service approach. We’re not just dropping off food – we’re handling setup, managing service during your event, and doing complete cleanup afterward. For Sea Cliff residents and businesses, this means you get to enjoy your own event instead of managing catering logistics. You call us once, we handle everything else, and your guests leave talking about the food and service.
