Gary's catered the food. Three staffers working our event. All friendly, wearing their catering gear. The basil cream chicken was, beef Marsala wasn't my thing, pasta Alfredo was ok, rosemary potato was quite mashed soft, although wholly intact, the honey glazed carrots were not prominent or flavorful and Caesar was blah, quite a bit of rotten romaine lettuce in my two plates of salad. Caesar salad was covered in shredded Parmesan, grabbed some lettuce from the bottom. Gary's catered the food. The basil cream chicken wasn't bad. The beef Marsala wasn't my thing at all. The pasta Alfredo was just ok, mushy, creamy as expected. The rosemary potato was quite mashed and soft, although wholly intact. The honey glazed carrots were not prominent or flavorful to me. The Caesar was so blah, quite a bit of rotten romaine lettuce in my two plates of salad though. :/ read more

See all

Good communication upfront. But we had to cancel due to Issues with the venue. They took $1000 deposit and we're unwilling to refund any of it. They were friendly upfront, but when we had to cancel, they changed their disposition. read more

First of all, in spite of the fact that most of the previous reviewers have had positive experiences with Gary's Catering at large events, this is not the case with me. I dine alone. You see, every day (Monday through Friday), at about 12:15pm a gal from Gary's arrives and offers a variety of hot meals, cold sandwiches, cold drinks and a few other items. She offers to take credit cards, but old-fashioned as I am, I always pay with cash. The best part is that she brings them right outside of the building where I work. No delivery fees, no outside DashingDoors or EatAbove or anything else. She simply pulls up in the parking lot, honks the horn, and like a Pavlov pup, I come running for my treats. The food is always fresh - the hot food is hot, the cold offerings are cold. The driver is always upbeat and friendly, no matter how bad the traffic might be or what a bad day she might be having, I am always greeted with a smile. I have always enjoyed whatever I select. The food is simply delicious. If I decide someday to plan a wedding, I will certainly place Gary's at the top of my list. Until then, I dine alone. But I dine with happy taste buds. My wish: may your taste buds also be happy whenever you eat food from Gary's Catering of Wixom! I highly recommend! read more

Gary's Catering took care of everything for our company holiday party. Everyone is still raving over the quality of food, presentation and friendliness of the staff. Planning the event was made super easy by Sheri, who answered all of our questions and emails and made it very easy to have everything planned. We were so impressed from start to finish. We will definitely be calling on them again to cater other onsite events. Thank you so much! read more

Hired Gary's catering for a Cinco De Mayo party at the campground. I wasn't sure how much food I needed to feed 100+ people who were coming and going throughout the day- Tina was very helpful and her estimates were accurate, plenty of food to go around! The food was awesome and staff was helpful. They were referred to me by a friend who loved eating their food from a large corporate event. I would reccomend this local company- they were timely, professional, affordable, and most of all the food was great! read more

Dale is great. On time at our shop and always a good variety. Bit pricey, but expected for convenience. Overall good stuff.

I have used Gary's for work events for years and now have had the chance to use them for a personal event (grad party). As always, they are wonderful to work with! Being able to make 1 call and get not only great food and staff, but also the tent, tables, chairs, linens, etc. Anyone who has put an event together knows how fabulous it is to make 1 call, have 1 contact, etc. and get everything you need. Sheri in the office is the best!! The food is great. Staff is very professional and goes above and beyond at the event itself. I cannot recommend them enough. read more

Always on time with hot food during the cold months. Marie stands outside with us to serve. Shes fast and extremely polite.

Staff was amazing and food was too! By the end my guests were asking for cards so they could also use them! Job well done and if I ever have another party in that area I would have them cater again! read more

I was in Michigan for a Graduation party over the weekend. I had to post, as they had the best fresh BBQ menu featuring juicy huge burgers, Italian Chicken with Fresh Basil, Sweet Italian Sausage with Chef sautéd onions and Peppers! I asked who the caterer was and the host told me Gary's Catering! I was full, but kept going back to the grill station for more! Inside they had a beautiful display of sides. Gary's Catering handled their desserts also. Delicious chocolate raspberry cake and array of awesome cookies! Oh yeah, really friendly staff too! read more

We hired Gary's for our wedding and not only was it a better value than anywhere else we called, the food was great! All of our guests complimented the beef tenderloin. The staff was friendly and professional. They even did all the set up and clean up which is included in the price. We couldn't be happier with our choice to have them cater our special day! read more

Gary's catered our wedding in September. They gave us the wrong chicken that we had ordered. Not the end of the world it was still decent. Not great but good. But it was pretty disappointing. The food was lukewarm and not seasoned all that much. More so quantity over quality, which is expected with catering usually. The staff was very polite and helpful with cleaning up the tables and serving everyone at the buffet. Not entirely sure if I would recommend to anyone. The pricing was fine. read more

We have nothing but great things to say about this caterer! We have used them for both of our kids graduation parties and both were a HUGE success. Each time we received some many compliments on the food and service. We would highly recommend them for your party. We will have to have another party to have them back again. Thanks for making our events a success! read more

Laurie at Gary's Catering is amazing! She's always pleasant and has great and well organized variety of food and snacks that our shop loves!

I am SO glad I chose Gary's Catering to cater my wedding reception. From the first phone call with Sheri, I knew I made a great choice. She was amazing to work with - courteous, professional, prompt, friendly - and she really worked with my budget. Since we lived far away from our reception location, Chef Joseph set up a tasting session outside of their normal business hours to accommodate us. In the days (weeks, months) leading up to the wedding, Sheri continuously checked in on me and accommodated all of my last minute changes and requests with no trouble. We were also able to rent our tables, plates, and silverware from Gary's for a fraction of the cost elsewhere, which saved us both money and hassle. On the day of, I (as the bride) was hardly able to pay attention to and keep up with everything going on, but the site coordinator made sure that I was well taken care of so I didn't have to worry. She came to me at the head table to carry my plate and walk me through the buffet to select my food. She even frequently checked in on me to see if I needed anything - and by anything I mean she would refill my water (a service I hadn't opted to purchase for the wedding) and even get me drinks from the bar. Their staff even broke the buffet tables down and carried them off the dance floor, which was also a chore I never paid for - they just did it because it needed to be done! I was floored by their professionalism and service. Now - the food. Everyone RAVED about it (and still do). We opted for the "traditional" beef, chicken, potatoes, veggies, and tossed salad buffet - but the food was anything but ordinary. The roasted chicken was a huge portion (1/4 chicken I believe), and it was ridiculously flavorful and juicy for a buffet to feed 260+ people. The potatoes where all but entirely snatched up by people going for seconds. We never ran out of food, and we actually froze the leftovers. My husband and I are still eating the leftover chicken and it is STILL delicious. I cannot believe the quality of food and service we received for the price. I would absolutely recommend Gary's Catering for ANY event, and I will definitely be booking them again in the future! Thank you so much for making the biggest day of my life perfect! read more

Gary's Catering - From our wedding buffet - that chicken was the most amazing chicken I've ever had. - Caterers Near Me - Wixom, Michigan

Hired Garys to cater and BBQ for friends at my house this weekend. I couldnt have been more pleased, in fact they even fixed a vapor lock on my grill for me, that was keeping the temp from going as high as it should. Who knew? Sheri at Garys Catering knew. She saved my party. Cant wait to have them back again next year. read more

We decided to put together a last minute Graduation party, Gary's was recommended to me. From planning the meal, reviewing prices and options, not to mention new rules & regulations with Covid, Sheri was very professional! When the staff arrived, Dana, Lisa & Abby introduced themselves, (with masks on), we all went over our plan, they went right to work setting up. While talking to our guests, they were all letting me know how great the food was & how professional, yet friendly the staff was. I could not agree more! They definitely went above and beyond to make sure our guests as well as my family were accommodated, we did not have to worry about a thing that day. Dana did an awesome job grilling! Lisa & Abby serving, and cleaning up!! We are in Trenton, and it was worth the distance fee to have them travel downriver!! I would recommend anyone to book with Gary's catering! read more

We hired this company for a 100th birthday celebration. Everything was incredible. I highly recommend the beef tenderloin carving station. The staff was friendly and prompt. They were just beyond incredible. Wow! 10/10 all around. read more

They have a good truck and iv tried 3 different items 3 different times. I got sick the first two times but like an idiot I took my chances a third time. This time I got a cold item, a sandwich. It was a soggy nasty mess. Not good at all. Everything is over priced and just down right dosnt taste good. Very disappointed and will never be purchasing food from them again. I'd rather waste the gas to go get real, and better tasting food for my lunch breaks. read more

Food and service were excellent. Many great reviews and feedback from our guests at the wedding. Thank you to Sheri for the awesome support. read more

Gary's Catering staff did more than cater delicious food for my son's wedding. They were helpful and supportive with other aspects of the wedding that were giving me grief. They researched and offered suggestions to help with some snags. They were kind and caring throughout. The day of the wedding, the food was outstanding as well as the staff! I highly recommend Gary's Catering for any event! They saved me:) read more

This is the second time we hired Gary's Catering for an event, first my daughter's grad party and then my husband's 50th. Both times the food was excellent and the staff was very professional! Guests raved about the food! Even the setup and tear down was flawless. I couldn't be more pleased and I highly recommend Gary's! read more

Gary's catered our grad party for 400+ people. The food was fantastic! We received numerous compliments from our guests. Delicious!!! and very reasonable. Will definitely use at my next party! read more

Gary's catered my wedding in 2006. Granted, that was a long time ago and things may have changed, but our disappointment and anger at the way their staff behaved at our event and their lack of response to my very polite letter after the event compels me to share my experience. Gary's catered our backyard wedding. I communicated well with them and made it clear that a few things were very important to us: one, that they leave all the wine bottles so we could count and recycle them, and two, that they were not allowed to leave trash on site. They did not keep any bottles of wine at all - they all ended up in the trash. And the trash? Was left on site. To add insult to injury, all the trash bags were so filled with heavy stuff that they couldn't even be lifted without breaking. Our clean up was a smelly, messy, fly-infested nightmare thanks to their lack of professionalism. At the end of the night, they were in such a hurry to leave that they left behind one of their workers and tore up the grass spinning the wheels of their truck. I sent them a very polite letter after the event, detailing the crew's behavior, the clear disregard for the agreed-upon rules and never heard a word back from them. No apology, nothing. read more

VERY pleased with Gary's Catering. They provided everything we needed for our June wedding. Amazing food, great customer service, and top-notch equipment. Reasonably priced for what you get--- nothing but a fantastic experience working with them! I recommend 100%! read more

Gary's Catering did a fantastic job at my wedding reception at the Wixom Community Center. We got complements on the food all night and the staff was great. They were so polite and accommodating. Sheri and Chef Joseph were wonderful in organizing everything the way we wanted it. The helped make our wedding super fun and easy! read more

My wife and I selected Chef Joe and Gary's catering for our caterers. Their representatives were incredibly helpful throughout the process. During the taste testing, they brought out a variety of foods - and variations - to sample. Even after we decided, they were very opening to modifying their seasonings. At no point did we feel as though we were bothering them with our ideas and suggestions. To the contrary, they took pride in serving us and wanted us to have exactly what we wanted and not just what was on their standard menu. On the wedding day, they were punctual, well-dress, adaptable to an outdoor venue, polite, and clean with deportment. Best of all, they made their staff available to our wedding coordinator for odds & ends. After the completion of all the serving and cleanup, 3 staffers were available to bus our tables (desserts and beverages). read more

We hired Gary's to cater our wedding and they were horrendous overall. They arrived late to the venue, struggled to get the food set up in time for the cocktail hour, and ran out of alcohol 30 minutes before last call. Then, at the end of the night they yelled at both the bride and groom's mothers, calling them both liars. Based on our math, they brought enough alcohol for 3.5 drinks per drinking age person, which at a wedding is not nearly enough. Finally, they left the venue early and left a massive mess around the building. This is a terrible company and I don't recommend them to anybody. Chef Joe and Sheri are great but the staff at the actual venue were among some of the rudest and awful people I have ever encountered. read more

My son and daughter in law were married about a month ago and we chose Gary's Catering based upon a friends referral. We couldn't have been happier with the choice. We met with Sheri who listened (really listened !) to what we were looking for and then she made it happen. The food was superb, the staff was very friendly and we kept getting compliments from our guests all night long. I knew it would be a tough job because we had 140 guests at an outdoor venue but they managed to pull it off. There were enough staff so that people were served quickly and the cleanup was managed without disturbing our celebration. My wife and I would definitely use them for future parties. read more

Gary's catered our outdoor September wedding this past weekend and did a fabulous job! People were RAVING about the food all night. And the servers and chefs were incredibly helpful all day. It was far from a black tie event, but the service they provided by serving food, clearing tables, cutting and serving the cake, as well as a million other things I'm sure I didn't see was top notch. Sheri was so incredibly helpful beforehand in helping us figure out exactly what we needed and finalizing our menu. We were going for more of an "elegant barbeque" vibe and they let us mix and match dishes between their different catering menus to put together exactly what we were looking for. We couldn't have been happier with how everything turned out! I will definitely be handing out Gary's Catering's info to everyone I know and I hope to be able to use them again in the near future! read more

I used Gary's Catering for my wedding reception. I had never tasted their food prior to my wedding, so needless to say, I was scared that the food was going to taste poorly. I was EXTREMELY pleased with EVERYTHING! My guests raved about the food. Their chicken was phenomenal! The slow roast baron of beef was TO DIE FOR! The mixed vegetable was a little soggy, but we did start dinner late. The Michigan Cherry Salad was delicious. I could not have been happier. I am not exaggerating when I say that ALL of my guests loved the food. If you are a bride looking for a caterer, I highly recommend Gary's. Shari and Chef Joe will take great care of you! read more

The staff from Gary's Catering were a little rude. The food was alright , but the potatoes had way too much rosemary in them and the sauce on the chicken was a little too oily for my taste and a few others. I wish they would go a lot lighter on spicing things They did set up nicely though. read more

I don't even know where to begin! The food and service were fantastic and greatly exceeded my expectations (and that is pretty difficult to do.) My guests have not stopped talking about food, with many saying it was the best 'wedding food' they have ever had. The wait staff was delightful, courteous, and efficient. The Grill Chefs were very pleasant and made sure everyone was satisfied with their selection. Thank you so much for contributing to Madison and Luke's special day - it was purely magical. Kindest Regards, T. Orr read more

Bad service/bad food that tasted like it was reheated and made two days before the event

Gary's Catering catered our outdoor graduation party last Saturday and did a fantastic job. The food was amazing and perfectly prepared. We had the on site barbecue and it was awesome!! The two people, Angie and Andy, who came to our house were super helpful and professional and did everything they could to ensure our event went perfectly. Sheri was super helpful and easy to work with throughout the planning process. I recommend them completely!! read more

I hope you like left over food because whats left over from one party gets used for next party. I could go on and on but will leave it at that. Take your chances read more

We used gary's for our wedding. Their prices were very competitive, and Sheri was so helpful. I didn't really eat the night of the wedding, but everyone liked the food. They were very helpful and responsive while I was booking everything. Plus their prices were very good. I used them for their food and their bar/bartender service. Again, I was more focused on everyone having a really good time, so I didn't have "high end" food. I did the linens through them as well. read more
