I have been eating Bassett food for over 30 years and until today it has been a 5 out of 5, but something went wrong today. I ordered 3 meals at the counter. The meatloaf and chicken franchise were well cooked but I didn't realize that I wasn't asked if I wanted sauce on either one, and none was added. I am always asked this question, and the lack of sauce hurt both dishes. The third dish, eggplant Parmesan, seemed only half cooked and did not look as it usually does. There was one completely unmelted piece of mozzarella cheese laying over the dish. It was really inedible, which is not Bassett 's usual quality. The countermen were acting silly and perhaps not paying attention. I have had a very good opinion of Bassett until now, but based on this experience, I don't know if I would use them for catering. I will give them another chance and hope things are back to normal. read more

I would give this place zero stars if I could. Which for me personally sucks. I use to go to this place throughout my childhood it was actually a privilege to go here. Now? Horrible. Today I went in and ordered the simplest sandwich. Jam & Swiss on SEEDED Italian bread, balsamic glaze, mayo. I got regular bread, which did not taste fresh, balsamic oil, ham and Swiss. The sandwich was so disgusting that I took one bite and threw it out! If this was the first time this happened, I would just move along. But considering I spent $70 there today I should at bare minimum get what I'm paying for. Sad that the owners truly don't seem to care. Save your time and money and go to Jimmy's in sheepshead bay road. read more

Bassett Caterers - This is supposed to be ham and Swiss with balsamic glaze and mayo. What I got was this sloppy, disgusting balsamic oil mess - Caterers Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I love Bassett. You're talking about family tradition style love. Love like talking to people about Bassett by name when you're in another country. The management is great. The food is an incredible value. I still dream about their chicken parm and their meatloaf. Go. read more

I highly recommend hiring Bassett for any catering needs! Frank and his team catered our wedding and it was amazing. They are organized and really know their stuff. Frank is very easy to work with. Portions are very generous, at both the tasting and the wedding. We got tons of compliments from guests about how great the food was! read more

A few suggestions when serving customers... When preparing a sandwich please do not place bread on the stainless steel counter nor have your arm touch the bread in the process. And please please do not talk over the food. This is why a customer would change their mind about making a purchase.Thank you! read more

we ordered Bassetts deluxe Easter menu, everything was great, lamb chops perfect brisket perfect, every item we received was very good, and good sized portions. We have already ordered from Bassett for a party of 50 for our Mom at the end of April. looking forward to it. no need to call anyone. else read more

Can't tell you how many holidays, birthdays, communions, baptisms, etc. we've catered from Bassett. Everything is always terrific, fresh and tasty. We stop in just about weekly for some takeout or even eating in their newly renovated dining area. The owners are friendly and supportive, and the staff is always cheerful and friendly. We traveling from the city, even though we've left the neighborhood. read more

So we were in Brooklyn for new-years eve with the family and we decided to cater Italian. We had the most amazing food. We had a tray of eggplant parm and that was delicious the sausage and peppers were also a favorite. Yummy meatballs and potatoes croquet. The lemon chicken over the bed of rice was delicious. They provide trays,utensils, bread , napkins, and even a table cloth this was a great way to ring in the new year with delicious food. The entire staff was great and working hard to process all the orders they had in a timely fashion. My family in Brooklyn will continue to use them . read more

100% recommended for catering your wedding or any other special day!! We hired Bassett for food/dessert at our Housing Works bookstore wedding. We had a tasting with Frank and James in Coney island store, and we absolutely fell in love with not only flavors of food but also their warm-heartedness. Their steak was the best we have ever tasted among 5+ wedding caterers, and they even packed hors d'oeuvres for us to have at home. We really felt like visiting family members from our first encounters. On our wedding day, we and all of our guests were extremely pleased with food and services, including excellent cocktail hour hors d'oeuvres (including crab cakes and scallop wrapped with bacon), pasta (ravioli), and entrees (steak, shrimp, and salmon). Frank even made a new tiger shrimp dish per our request that some guests wanted to have that. What really surprised us on the wedding day is they provided desserts that we did not purchase at additional fees, as we were working at tight budgets. We wanted to have macaroons, french pastries, and chocolate truffles but decided to go without them given additional costs. Bassett surprisingly offered amazing dessert table (see below picture for a subset) without additional charges. Looking at how fast all these desserts went can tell how tasty they are. Guests commented red velvet cakes by Bassett were more delicious than our wedding cake we ordered separately. Service was also phenomenal. We were glad to choose Bassett for wedding catering, even though they were not one of the preferred vendor at the venue. They are super professional and know a way around the kitchen and different layout of the reception venue. We highly recommend for catering food for any special occasion you have! read more

Racking my brain trying to come up with new meals to eat, I remembered Bassett Caterers and called them to see what the options are in terms of deliveries, hours, etc. The gentleman that answered the phone, could not have been any nicer and oh so very patient. 5 stars for customer service and another 5 for the food. They are currently working out of 3000 Emmons Avenue location while their 1404 Avenue X location is under renovation. While at this temporary location, their closing hours are a bit early, like around 2:00 or 3:00, so call in the morning for delivery. Prices are super reasonable and portions are really generous. We ordered Chicken francese, pasta with broccoli and garlic and oil, Caesar salad and cheese ravioli. Everything was fresh, perfectly seasoned and wonderfully flavorful. I enjoyed every bite, especially the pasta with broccoli! Sometimes you just want high quality comfort food and Bassets exceeded our expectations. I'm kicking myself for not ordering from them sooner, but better late than never, right? Attached are the photos of our wonderful feast, and plenty of leftovers too! read more

There Stromboli is excellent. Love their food. Clean , friendly and delicious. What more could you ask for

I have only high praise for these caterers. I have used them more than once and have never been disappointed The food is delicious and never dry. I ordered the Thanksgiving package last year and the turkey, stuffing and sides were all cooked perfectly the turkey was tender and moist Last week I ordered BBQ ribs, sausage and peppers and pasta dishes-- all were a hit especially the ribs which were very meaty I have even been to events of 100 and more people which Bassett catered and the food was outstanding A word of advice, when ordering keep in mind that they provide you with large portions we had enough food to last several more dinners Even after reheating the leftovers the food was still great read more

If you're looking for a great caterer who knows what they're doing, supplies everything needed, and knows how to set up and make it look great...use this place! With a party for 70, not one complaint. Actually, guests were raving that some of the food was the best they ever had. I would use them again in a second, and a separate thank you to our servers of the day, David and Ivan...you guys were so good natured, as well as very professional and efficient. Thanks to all at Bassett, you really helped in making my party such a success! read more

My family and I have been going to and have used Bassett for 7 years. We have used them for both my daughters baptism and 1st birthday and had no doubt but them to use them again this year for her communion!

I highly recommend this place not only for food but for future parties/dinners!!! read more

My new wife and I love Bassett Caterers and Frank D'Antonio. A true professional, Frank was very helpful and detail-oriented when we sat down with him for our initial tasting and wedding coordination. His suggestions and answers to our many questions were spot-on in every area we had concern. On the day of our wedding: his crew performed brilliantly. We were excited to have Frank supervise the wedding and ensure all things went We had rave reviews about the food from our 80+ guests, and that is no small thing. I have recommended Bassett to multiple couples who are in the wedding planning stages. Bassett is first class in every aspect of their work. Thanks again Frank, for a wonderful experience. Scott and Dorota. read more

I can not say enough good things about this place. The food is always delicious, they're generous with their portions and the staff is super friendly. They're my go to whenever I don't want to cook for a large crowd read more

Outrageously delicious. We just catered from these guys for a baby shower and I can not express my gratitude for the promptness, the attention to detail and the quality of food we received. They were on time, provided us with EVERYTHING, to the salt and pepper packets, and the food tasted out of this world. This is a gem, no wonder they are in business for all of these years. I highly recommend Bassett's for everything. A++++++++ read more

Went for sandwiches and they were amazing. We got a ham sandwich and meatball sandwich. Bread is fantastic ! Ham piled high and meatballs delicious! read more

Amazing Italian-American food made fresh daily! The great part about this place is that their definitely known for their food catering services, but you can also visit the location and create a platter to eat right away. They have a huge selection of hot food to choose from l including chicken marsala and francese, meatloaf, lasagna, chicken meatballs, mac & cheese, steamed veggies etc... I believe it changes each day. For a platter, it's normally 1 entree and 2 sides which comes with a side of Italian bread for $8.50! It's a great deal considering my girlfriend and I can share a platter. They also have a huge selection of pre-packed sides! There's honestly too many to name! Employees have always been very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be choosing this place if I ever needed catering service. Food is bangin'! read more

If you need food for an event -- from a small backyard BBQ, to a 135 person wedding, Bassett is there for you from start to finish. Don't be put off by their corner deli exterior: Bassett is beyond professional and what's more, they truly care about providing their customers with fantastic food. I had read about this company when looking for a wedding venue in NYC that would accommodate a large amount of people, but not break the bank. Bassett is wonderful because you can negotiate your meal options; they really have a price and package for everyone, from buffet style, to a four-course seated dinner. Their options might not seem "fancy" but when was the last time you had a "fancy" wedding meal that actually tasted good? Stick with what your guests know and like and they'll walk away feeling happy :) The tasting alone was beyond generous and informative. We were expecting a few bites of food and a sell-up discussion. Frank made full plates of food, both generously presenting appetizers and entrees for us to try. Frank is a great, normal guy who loves his business and wants to make you happy. No request is too small, and the best part is his honesty and transparency. They make all of their food in-house and it's so fresh and good, you won't be disappointed. Even the pigs in a blanket are homemade! These guys are with you every step of the way. Most of their packages include linens, china, silverware and glassware. They do not include alcohol but you can drop it off at their site and they will bring it on the day of your event. They truly save you time, money, and stress. We knew we'd get incredible service, but Bassett surprised us even still: We had specially requested a mashed potato bar and a hot chocolate bar. These were a few dollars per person more but made all the difference. Everything was beautifully displayed and blew us away. You get professional, special service for a price that makes you do a double-take. We plan on using them for other events in the future. We can't get over how happy we are with choosing Bassett as our wedding caterer. Feel free to DM me if you'd like to know more! read more

Love this place! My family has used this place to cater our parties, and I've come in several times just to pick up a quick meal. They never disappoint. You really get a bang for your buck here - my boyfriend and I shared an $8.50 entree and a $1 potato salad and that was filling enough for the both of us. Of course some dishes are better than others (in my opinion at least), but I do recommend the chicken francaise or marsala. Aside from the hot food, they also have pre-packaged meals, sides and desserts to go! read more

Hire Frank and the crew at Bassett Caterers for your wedding today! Bassett does things old school, and it was SO refreshing to be met with real customer service. From day 1, Frank was so friendly and offered utmost flexibility in every aspect. We booked Bassett and then 6+ months later when we called to talk through details, Frank was able to repeat back to me all the specifics we had mentioned on our first call! Bassett offered so much variety for our buffet, and Frank kindly added extra flare to side dishes, making it so much more than we imagined. He and his crew were efficient and set up our tables exactly as we requested, and kept snacks in the bridal suite all night. They even put together an ice cream sundae bar for us! The presentation is no frills but still elegant, just like we hoped. Everything was reasonably priced and everyone had plenty to eat, and all Frank's suggestions were worth it. They are real pros! read more

Very happy that Bassett's has reopened and expanded. Have to hand it to Frank and Family for getting through Sandy, the fire and the Pandemic over these past few years in providing quality food and caetering services here in Brooklyn. Very happy that the Baron DeKalb KofC Council in Sheepshead Bay helped out during the down times. Just had their Easter Dinner package and it was the best yet! Thanks to all involved in Bassett's for all they do to keep the business going. read more

Bassett's catered my daughter's wedding on March 11, 2022. It was a cocktail style wedding with different food stations (pasta station, meat station, etc). The food was more than just delicious. It was perfection. Everyone raved about the food and the service. The servers were incredibly friendly, professional, welcoming, and went above and beyond to make sure every guest had what they wanted and needed. From the very first communication with Frank in planning the menu to the end of the evening of the wedding, Bassett's helped make my daughter's wedding simply perfect. I can't recommend them enough. Go ahead, place your order, book their service. You will not regret it. read more

I highly recommend. The prices are reasonable, the staff was courteous, responsive and very helpful. The menu offered a wide selection. Our event was catered on a boat and we had plenty of food, which by the way, was delicious. We received many compliments from our guests on the food. We were very happy with Bassett. It was a pleasure doing business with them. read more

Giving this place 4 stars Bc ya know, nothing is ever perfect ;) Ordered food for thanksgiving for 7 people and it was awesome; the price, the food, the service, etc. We had tons of food options and left overs for days. We will definitely be ordering again for Christmas. Highly recommended! read more

I'm a big fan of Bassett's! Catering, takeout, and the hot food line are all absolute superstars. The catering order was accurate, easy to order, and not too expensive, but I'm a bigger fan of their every-day offerings. Recommended favorites are the hot bar's chicken parm, with mac and cheese as a side (I swear, their cheese sauce is like yellow crack!), and their to-go vodka sauce. Another superstar is their chocolate fudge cake. Mmmmm. read more

The best hot pastrami sandwich I've had in a long time. Also a pretty awesome + large grilled chicken Ceaser Salad It comes with garlic croutons and its huge so def. worth the $. read more

This place is highly addicting. This place offers a wide variety of food that will enlighten your taste buds no matter how many times you visit. Since it's just around my block I occasionally visit whenever I don't have time to cook or on the go. Not only is it popular in my personal taste but to many also. Many of the events I go to hire this place to be their caterers. For the price I would say its fair because of their wonderful sized portion read more

We'd used to order from these guys for EVERYTHING when I worked at my Church rectory. Their sandwiches are outta this world and leftovers are rarely ever to be found. Completely professional service staff that provides soda, cups, napkins, utensils and pretty much almost all the trimmings for your catered party. Highlyyyy recommended! They have yet to disappoint. read more

Bassetts is THE best deli in NYC and for a city that is the king of delis, that's saying a lot. There isn't anything you can go wrong with here. My favorites include the short ribs (hot food) they make on Fridays which melt in your mouth. My favorite cold heroes alternate between the roast beef with muenster and the proscuitto with fresh mozzerella, olive oil, balsamic vineagar and roasted peppers. Ah...I'm drooling already! Great service, great place, food at its freshest, It doesn't get better than this! read more
