Mc Garth's catering provided affordable and professional service for my son's wedding. Everything we paid for pus was provided and appreciated. My guest raved over the Swedish meatballs. Cocktail hour was a hit because of those and the bacon wrapped chicken. Our guest made multiple trips because they were so good. The food service was great. The kept me informed the entire time. They made sure our leftovers were packed away accordingly with containers that I provided. If you are hosting an event and you are on a budget or not, I strongly recommend Mc Garth's catering service. read more

Excellent customer service, easy to work with and delicious food! I would highly recommend them!!

I absolutely love Mc Grath's! They have high quality, delicious food and the employees are always kind and helpful. Their ribs, enchiladas, tri-tip, roasted potatoes with dill and cornbread are my favorite but I honestly can't think of anything that I don't like! Their prices are unmatched and their service is classy and professional. read more

McGrath's was so easy to work with. They handled everything and the luncheon for my husband's service was beautifully presented. The food was absolutely delicious - I received so compliments from our guest. Their attention to detail made a difficult day a little easier. read more

Thank you Mc Grath's for a wonderful lunch at our celebration of life for my mother. The build your own sandwich bar was perfect, the salads were great and that was the softest sandwhich bread I've ever had. Everything including the punch to the desserts and cookies was delicious and perfect. The buffet was decorated beautifully and the best part was all I had to do was call and talk to Sue and not worry about the rest! Jacob was wonderful too! Planning a party for 100 people in 3 weeks was made so much easier because of you. Everyone enjoyed it and said how well put together it was, thanks in part to you. Much appreciated. read more

Had them cater for my daughters graduation party! They were on time and set up was great with decorations. The food was sooo delicious! I would definitely recommend and use McGrath's catering again! read more

I've known about McGrath's Catering for many years on a professional level but this time I used them for a personal event. The team were wonderful and very professional even as we worked through time and time again a date for the event, pandemic kept pushing it back and back. The food, part of their BBQ menu, was absolutely delicious. Super tender and very flavorful. The presentation was superb. My guests were gushing about the caterers and who they were, where they could find them. I would positively recommend them to any one and everyone. You won't be disappointed. read more

I have used them several times for work events. Very competitive pricing, accommodating, and easy to work with. So happy we found them.

McGrath's catered for my backyard wedding for 130 people and they were absolutely wonderful! From the initial meeting/food tasting, I knew we were in good hands. They're just honest, caring people and that's hard to come by these days! On the day of the wedding, I was all over the place but when I crossed paths with the service team, they cared enough to say hello and introduce themselves which was so sweet. My coordinators really loved working with their team and couldn't stop complimenting. They went above and beyond when it came to cleaning up and I couldn't thank them enough. I feel so bad for not knowing the servers' names but McGrath's, your team did an AWESOME job. I recommend them 110%! read more

I needed catering for a week for 190 employees each day. After seeing the pictures and reviews of McGrath, I reached out to them. I was concerned with the $$, but McGrath worked with the company's budget and provided a list of food. When the food showed up. It looked just as amazing as the pictures on their website. It also tasted good. I had an employee tell me "I'm not a salad guy but their salad is the best thing ever." Thank you Mc Grath for providing excellent customer service and great food. read more

Yesterday we attended the funeral for a retired Riverside Firefighter. After coming highly recommended, McGrath's was hired by the family of the deceased to cater the after-event at Citrus Park here in Riverside. What then occurred broke the family's still-wounded hearts even further; McGrath's was a NO-SHOW. My heart broke with theirs upon seeing the blank, empty tables with no tablecloths, no plates, no trays of food, no drinks -- ALL of which was SUPPOSED to be provided by McGrath's. When the family called McGrath's to find out exactly what was going on, McGrath's said they didn't know what they were talking about. Their ONLY response was that "The order must have gotten lost". There was NO apology. There was NO accountability. You know what DIDN'T get lost? The $800 dollar check the family wrote to McGrath's in advance for their services. Several family members had to then scramble to the Albertson's a few blocks away for soda, pre-made trays of food, paper plates, etc. That, naturally, took a while and half of the people left. I'm APPALLED at how this family was treated with such a shameful, careless and callous nature by McGrath's at a time when their beloved Father and Grandfather -- who was a long-time cherished community hero -- was being honored. I concur with Jessica R's (the granddaughter of the deceased) review of McGrath's: if I could give NO STARS, I would. For this reason I will NOT EVER use McGrath's catering, nor would I recommend them to anyone else. read more

They catered my 70th Birthday Party for 121 Guests. It went sooo smooth and the workers were sooo helpful with clean up and service. The food was yummy and the guests loved it. Yes I recommend McGrath's and will hire them again. read more

I'm having leftovers while I type which goes to show how wonderful the food was! This is one great catering company. On time, "great" service, and food to absolutely scream for!!! I called them at the last minute - this past Wednesday for a birthday party Saturday night and Marc was super patient with me. I selected four different entree's and had to call his office as late as Saturday morning with additional questions/requests, and Robert came through with flying colors. All of the guests enjoyed the food (Italian buffet) and they kept going back for seconds and thirds, and the biggest hit was the antipasto salad (which was made for me, as it's not on their regular menu). We had more than enough food left over so guess what I'm having for lunch this week? Can you tell how pleased I am with McGrath's?! Thanks Marc - you and your staff are Rock Stars in my eyes! Can't wait to book you for the next party and I'll make sure to call well in advance rather than 3 days before the event!!! ;-) read more

I would give Mcgrath's 10 stars if I could. He catered breakfast for 25 people at my office last week. There was some mix up on the date (probably from my end) and I realized it THE DAY OF THE EVENT. When I called at 7:30am all panicked, Mark answered the phone and calmly said, "I can pull something together for you." 90 minutes later, he delivered a delicious spread of eggs, bacon, sausage, juice, coffee, potatoes and pastries. My staff felt so pampered and loved it. My bosses were impressed. Mark McGrath saved the day, and I will never use another caterer as long as live! read more

The food is really good and the prices were very reasonable. The customer service was professional and very responsive from beginning to end. The staff was friendly and accommodating. I would recommend them to anyone and would definitely use them again for future events. read more

McGrath catered a private party I attended a few days ago. Nicely done and lots of vegetarian to cover the bases. Great desserts as well.

McGrath's did my wedding this weekend. We did buffet-style appetizers, and the guests all loved it. Their display was beautiful and there was more than enough food for everyone. I had never done any kind of catering before and Cathy was very easy to work. I definitely recommend them for your event. read more

McGrath's Catering did the food for my Son and new Daughter-in-Law's beautiful backyard wedding and it was wonderful! The Buffet presentation was very upscale, portions large and the taste was so delicious, that many of the guests had seconds! Cathy was such a pleasure to work with and made us feel really at ease with our selections. We had an attendant, Misha, that was so professional! Not only did she helped with the food but kept busy clearing the tables and making sure that my job, being the groom's mom, was my priority. Your guest's will remember the food, so you need it to be tasty! I would highly recommend them to anyone catering a wedding or any special event! read more

We had McGrath's cater our wedding reception, for about 140 people. We could not have been more pleased. Marc was very helpful during the planning process, from the beginning considering possible venues and menu options, to supportive handholding as we made the decision whether to change the venue the day before due to weather considerations, to the flexibility to cheerfully make that last minute change. The price structure clear, consistent, and we felt quite reasonable. We got just what we contracted for, and were able to add items at the last minute, and the bill was just as it should have been. We found the food they served was very tasty, hot, timely, and well-presented. They arranged the hall we used and transformed from what we feared would be a bit dingy to gracious and welcoming. They accomodated all our preferences, guest-supplied wine, etc. The professionalism, friendliness, and flexibility of this company was a revelation. Yay McGrath's! read more

My wife and daughter chose Mc Graths after a tasting and speaking with the owner. It seemed a little steep to me at first but the service and quality they provided is a great value. They were on time, very efficient, and served up some great food. Real food, pasta salad, green salad with different a selection of dressings, beans with a little kick to them, delicious mac and cheese, bbq ribs, and chicken cooked on sight. They helped with appetizers we provided. Professionally dressed, unobtrusive, very helpfull, and down right pleasant. I can't remember the entire crew but it was Meisha and daughter, Anna, and I can't recall the other server and cook but they were awesome. Would recommend without reservation. Thank you Mc Graths read more

McGrath's continues to be mediocre. We used them for events all summer last summer, and are just starting this summer, and already they are kind of annoying. We have 2 separate rooms with 2 separate groups of people, soend the time and attention to split the food in half. Really, it's not that big of a deal for a professional catering company. Customer Service Fail. read more

Giving McGrath's another 5 stars...hired them for a personal party that I hosted at my house and the did a FANTASTIC job and there was so much food left over, even though most of the guests went back for seconds! Tri-tip was EXCELLENT and grilled on-site! You guys are doing a great job! read more

Their food and customer service was exceptional!! Booked them for my wedding. The food was hot, fresh, and delicious, just like it was during the tasting. Not every cattering company can deliver great catering like they did! So glad we chose them. Cathy helped in every step of the way, had great suggestions and made me feel at ease. All my guests loved it! It was even delicious the day after . read more

Marc and his team are outstanding!!! I have used them for many events at my work and for my wedding. They are flexible and will work with you budget to give you the best bang for your buck. They are very prompt with their responses when you contact them. Great food and amazing customer service - I highly recommend them! read more

If you are a busy bride, wanting a hassle-free caterer, look no further! They came recommended by my mother, who had gone to a few luncheons they has catered. Their service was excellent, even adding things I requested at the last minute. The wait staff was very professional and the food was delicious. And the price was perfect. Save yourself trouble and book this company! read more

Loved the food, loved the customer service and the McGrath Team. We had a Family reunion for 70 people the day after Christmas and McGrath's was spot on for us. We received lots of compliments on the food and even thought the men filled their plate high we still had a lot of leftovers. I would definitely recommend and hire them again. They made our party a 5* event ! read more

The food is delicious, the staff is friendly, courteous and reliable and the pricing was reasonable while the portions were large. Both owner Marc McGrath and Executive Chef Richard Carrillo are very helpful. We had an event catered at my home and we had no worries at all on a very short notice event. The food and the presentation was set up beautifully on time and quickly and efficiently picked up on time after the event. read more

We had the pleasure of working with McGrath's for a work event for appetizers for about 25 people on 7/14/18. We had to cancel our previous caterer at the last minute, and were so glad they were available! From the beginning, Cathy was very professional and informative, responding quickly and answering my questions thoroughly. On the day of our event, Ray and his wife arrived promptly and went out of their way to make everything run smoothly. Their setup was beautiful, and the food was absolutely amazing! We had so many compliments on how great the food tasted, and how attractive the presentation was. We will definitely use McGrath's again, and recommend to everyone! read more

McGrath's food and service was excellent! Cathy guided us through our choices for a memorial luncheon. Cathy was easy to work with and followed through on all the details.

We had a holiday party for our office last week and McGrath's did an excellent job from beginning to end! Marc was so easy to work with, he worked with our budget, responded to e-mails within a day or two, and the food was delicious! We had the stuffed turkey and tri-tip, our guest loved the food. I also appreciated the presentation of the food, staff set up the food and decorated the table with holiday decor. Very classy! He also gave us extra servings of food enough for 8-10 ppl. read more

Thanks for nothing and not even recognizing YOUR mistake. read more
