We had a wedding catered at our home this past Saturday, 8/24. Will, Grace, and the entire staff was amazing! From set up to finish, everything was perfect! Food was great and all of our guests raved about it. Thank you for making our special day run so smoothly. I will definitely use David Grant for all of my future catering needs. read more

David Grant makes the best food! We used him to cater a Friendsgiving dinner and people raved about how good the food was. We picked the food up and served it ourselves. I will use his food again in a heartbeat. So easy to work with !!! read more

Wonderful company to deal with - always helpful and food was excellent - have always had good experience - Laura read more

We had Dave Grant Caterers for a family birthday party. From initial menu selection and scheduling with Hector to the party wait service with Will, the overall experience was excellent. We would use Dave Grant Caterers for future events. read more

They were an hour late to our event! They only brought 2 small trays of each appetizer for 180 guests, people were still in line when they ran out! Dinner was a disaster! The tricolor fingerling potatoes were grey, the green beans were undercooked, the pasta with vegetable was cooked fine but had very little vegetable in it, the roasted chicken somehow was changed to Italian chicken which was nothing more than overcooked, dry, hard cutlets that we couldn't cut with the cheap plastic knives they provided, much less chew it without breaking a tooth! The forks and knives were different colors and small platers were provided for dinner! It was awful! I would give zero stars if I could! read more

With my heart in my hand and after 35 years of using Dave Grant Caterers, I am writing to let them know again how disappointed I am in them regarding the quality of service I received was on August 3, 2024. (I previously contacted Hector by email and phone, who has not given me any resolution and who said he would speak w/grill and regular chefs, however, never reached back to me with any comments). I started the relationship with Dave, Sr, and continued it with Dave, Jr. over 35 years ago. Both management teams gave me and my companies A+ Service, Food, Pricing, and Care. August 3, 2024 - not the case. Dave Grant Caterers spoiled my bi-annual event where we give back to the community, advertise and plan for this 6 months in advance, and had a financial investment of over $6,000 between their services, gratuities, staff's pay, and desserts. Desserts were not supplied by David Grant Caterers, thank goodness. We "Saved the Date" with with Dave Grant Caterers back in January of 2024, and emailed a detailed menu of what I expected (like I did every year, twice a year for over 35 years). * The staff was late. * All of what I ordered did not arrive with the staff. * The food was HORRIBLE. * There was some strange flavor in the maccaroni salad, leftovers thrown out that night. * The baby back ribs were not baby back and were so "Atomically hot" that they were not eatable (3 full trays thrown in the garbage). * The corn on the cob was hard, leftovers thrown out that night. * The Swedish Meatballs had no sauce and leftovers thrown out that night. The "Mini" grinder rolls for the sausage & peppers were LARGE (not mini). This left us with Great burgers, hot dogs, baked beans, glazed chicken, house salad, watermelon, and beverages that were all acceptable. The new owners of David Grant Caterers should contact me and offer at best an apology and explanation. Sincerely, Lynda Kilgore Miss Dallas' Shop, Milford, CT read more

So we had my sisters memorial at The Gaelic American Club where hushed was a member. Catering was done by David Grant Caterers of Shelton. What a fabulous lunch we had. Food was amazing and Alexis the coordinator for set up and serving was absolutely fabulous! Outstanding. Thank you David Grant Caterer's read more

I have used David Grant Caterers for 3 events in the past 2 years. 2 outdoor BBQ's and 1 brunch. All 3 events were great. The company all complimented the food and service. Hector was very accommodating in all 3 events. I highly recommend them! read more

Fantastic experience! The menu offers great variety, and placing an order online was easy. Pickup was seamless, and the meals were absolutely delicious. The brisket and stuffed chicken breasts were amazing--everyone at the table raved about them. Highly recommend!" read more

Service and food were exemplary. We have used other area caterers in the past, and David Grant far exceeded all others in service and food quality. Would definitely recommend and use again. read more

We had David M. Grant deliver catering for the Christmas Eve gathering for our large extended family and friends, again this year. Our expectations were met and exceeded with the quality of the delicious food. Every detail down to presentation and serving accessories was thought of, which made the experience pleasant and worry free. We received many compliments on the food from our guests. read more

Derek prepared amazing, high quality food. It was hot and ready to serve upon delivery. Coordination of changing headcount's was easy thanks to Hector. Will be using David Grant for all our catering needs! read more

Excellent service, very well-organized - DG catered a bridal shower at my house, and the entire process was seamless. The food was good, though we ordered a brunch spread (quiche, breakfast meats, French toast, eggplant, salad...all good) and I feel like brunch items are less controversial. The only thing I wouldn't get again were the pastries - they didn't taste fresh or homemade. We had some food allergies to consider, and the team was great in accommodating our needs by tailoring menu items as needed. Our servers were extremely efficient and friendly, and took care of setting up, serving, and packaging up leftovers for us. read more

David Grant Caterers was a highlight of my wedding. The food was absolutely amazing, the planning was super stress free, and his staff was top notch professionals! His team constantly check in on me as the bride for food and drinks, kept the tables clear and the assisted with all the set up and break down at our venue. They also booked and set the up chair rentals for my on site wedding so it really was as stress free as possible! The price was also great!! Well worth it! Do yourself a favor and book this caterer read more

Have used David Grant Catering for two Oktoberfest events. Dave Grant and his staff provide great service and food prepared was perfect. Found them to be very responsive to our needs as well as going above and beyond with service..... read more

David Grant Caterers handled my wedding catering for 180 people this October and I couldn't be happier! Dave Grant walked us through the whole process from start to finish and took so much stress off of us. We ordered the pulled pork, southern chicken in gravy, catfish, Mac n' Cheese, veggie lasagna and vegan stuffed mushrooms. Everyone raved about the food, especially the Mac n cheese and catfish! The staff who worked the event were extremely courteous and went out of their way to make sure me, my partner, and my guests were happy. I would definitely recommend them for any occasion! read more

Fantastic experience. We hired David M Grant Caterers for a wedding rehearsal dinner and cocktail party for 75 guests. The food was amazing, the service top notch and David was so easy to work with. I couldn't have asked for a more perfect experience with a caterer. Thank you! read more

DGC catered my son's outdoor wedding several years ago. He also provided meals for people working the polls at an election I helped with. Based on those positive experiences, I booked with him for 2 small events we hosted at our home in June and August this year. These events were the only times I have ever hired a caterer for a home event. What a blessing it was to be able to serve a crowd of about 30 guests without slaving away in the kitchen 2 days or even needing to set the food on the table. The food was all the right temperatures and they provided everything we needed but the champagne and cake (though they can provide cake if you choose.) All our guests enjoyed the food with ample left for some to take some home. We had both hot and cold entrees and beverages. You might think your event is too small to bother catering but think again. It's a lot of work and if you don't want to risk burning yourself out, consider DGC. You and your mom/spouse/etc. can still make the specialties that everyone is looking forward to, without the whole burden of preparation and setup or guessing how much you need. If you have a reliable caterer like DGC, you can be more of a Mary than a Martha, free and energized to spend quality time with your guests. Guys, remember, happy wife, happy life! Get-togethers are about food, but especially about family and friends. Easing the pressure on the cooks in the family means more peace of mind and more time and energy to enjoy your company. We already knew DGC as a superb choice for a wedding. Now we know they can be counted on for small events as well. read more

We had Dave Grant cater our daughters first birthday party and the food was amazing! We did some BBQ options and it's all people talked about. I've had at least 5 different people ask me for the catering info! Overall, I highly recommend! read more

These caterers are outstanding a few glitches with menu confirmation and one staff member, but otherwise great....we had a slew of aps for 170 people...delish read more

Absolutely horrible. Food was over cooked and cold. Staff was clueless. Ruined my daughters wedding. Monkeys could have served the food better. Steak was like shoe leather. Wouldn't feed the left overs to a dog. read more

My organizations uses David Grant Caterers every year for our Golf Tournament. We serve Steaks and Lobsters, along with other various foods. Our guests LOVE LOVE LOVE them. And for me that is all that matters. The Grants are easy to work with, fair with their price and their staff has been exemplary. I have also been to large community events, where they serve hamburgers, hot dogs, salads and other such stuff. You would think that was pretty simple.. But they make everything look so amazing, you cannot wait to eat. Yum. read more

Can't say enough good words about David Grant and his staff! They catered our wedding this weekend and everything was perfect! The staff was so friendly and attentive! Every staff member looked to be having a great time along with us and was happy which extends to everyone around them! I worked very closely with Will, the head waiter and he was amaZing! So easy to work with and was right there whenever I needed him! Thank you all sooo much!! You helped make this day absolutely perfect for us and I couldn't be happier! read more

We used David Grant caterers for a corporate event at our Shelton office earlier this week. The experience working with this caterer was fantastic from beginning to end from planning the event, to the wonderful staff, and the fabulous food - especially the coconut shrimp! We received lots of compliments from our guests which made us look good too! What I love about dealing with David Grant Caterers is that they take care of everything from providing staff, equipment, china, tents, and they do a great job with the food as well. Tanya Truax, PR Director, Newtown Savings Bank read more

The caterer says in his response to my previous review that there was a lapse in time between the initial contact and our response. This is simply not true. We were told in our initial contact that a response would be given to us. We waited, even called back, but no response was given. We were finally given a hasty and somewhat rude "we're already booked" response. After seeing that another person has left a review here for the same weekend that we needed them, our conclusion is that David Grant Caterers had to choose between our party of 100 people and the other of closer to 200, and chose the latter. That's business, of course. But they could have been much quicker and nicer about their response. We accept absolutely NO responsibility in this matter. David Grant simply did not respond to our numerous attempts to contact them. read more

David Grant caterers was recommended to us by the venue that we were using. Unprofessional and very expensive. We got a much better deal and better choices with another caterer. read more

David Grant catered our 45th Stratford High School reunion last evening at Boothe Park! The crew arrived on time, set up was smooth, and the food was excellent! 50 people dined on chicken, London broil (very tender!) grilled shrimp (tasty!) and a variety of sides! Our group had ice tea, lemonade, and all kinds of beverages, hot coffee and tea, dinner rolls and butter and a FANTASTIC green salad with goat cheese! Service was great! Recommended to all! read more

Great Food...Great Service = Great Event. We recently used David Grant Caterers for a corporate picnic and we could not be more pleased. During the original consultation David was more than accommodating, ensuring we were creating the most appropriate menu for the group of more than 175. I had inquired about vegetarian options to go along with the beef and chicken dishes. David came back with several options, ultimately settling on Eggplant Parm. The Vegetarian and carnivores alike loved it. The servers were great, even going out of there way to organize desert that we brought ourselves. On time set up...speedy breakdown and clean. This rather large event went off without a hitch... with the food buffet as the star of the show. read more

We ordered from David Grant a couple weeks ago for a birthday party and it was absolutely amazing! All our guests raved about the food asking where we got it. Not only was the woman who delivered so wonderful but everything was hot and fresh. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Not only were they affordable, they helped me plan everything I could need for the party, most other places in the area didn't even pick up the phone. Definitely try them for your next catering need. read more

I just got married at light house point Saturday and used David Grant Caterer. I was blown away by there services. The food was delicious, we even took all the left overs. I was able to adjust the head count up until a few days before which was great for those last min response. The service was above and beyond what I expected at a reasonable price. I saw other response that there was no communication. I requested a contract after a few phone calls. I think people forget that email is not the best way to communicate due to many times emails go to spam. I received prompt phone calls and emails from them when I reached out. Something to think about as you are planning your important day. read more

was a guest at the below mentioned wedding and the food was literally unbelievable. i am 30 so unfortunately i attend weddings all of the time and this was one of the best weddings dinners i have ever had!!!!! i was skeptical about catfish and pulled pork cuz we were in ct but i was actually blown away and i ate the mac and cheese even though i have a gluten intolerance bc it looked SO GOOD and it was 100% worth it. please book this company for your event you will not be disappointed!!!! the food is incredible read more

We just had Dave cater our outdoor wedding for 120 people at our home in Shelton. Dave and his crew were wonderful. From the first day we called and met with Dave, he was completely professional and offered helpful ideas and suggestions so that our wedding would be everything that we wanted. The food, drink, and service was fabulous. Dave took care of the arrangements for tents, linens, china and crystal. When it looked like weather might be against us, Dave called and arranged for an alternative venue if necessary. Even though it was not needed, this just shows the professional service we received and the attention to detail that Dave provided. I would recommend this business to anyone looking to plan any event. Thank you for making our wedding the special event we had hoped for! Sharon read more

Used them at the recommendation of a host site for a small business gathering. The quality of the food was embarrassing. Presliced cheese and Keebler crackers glistening in the heat, shrimp wrapped bacon over-cooking in sterno, frozen meatballs doused in BBQ sauce, dried out slices of flatbread pizza, pretzels wet with humidity and heat from a tray covered in plastic wrap. The prices charged commanded a much better showing. Yuck. Never again. read more

Amazing food, excellent service staff, and perfect communication throughout the planning process for our wedding this past weekend. The Smoke n' Bones food truck was the biggest hit of the event! We wholeheartedly recommend David Grant without hesitation! read more

David's staff was professional and attentive at my daughters wedding this past weekend. The food was awesome, all of the guests raved on how great it was. David was always available to answer my questions and made great recommendations on food choice and services. We would recommend David Grant to anyone that asks. read more

We have used David Grant at least a dozen times. We used him this past weekend and as always the food was amazing and very plentiful! We have recommended lots of family members to use them as well and as always they do not disappoint! read more

Have used Dave many times and had hoped to have him come and do a BBQ for us as I had been to one he had done and it was great, but unfortunately due to his quality and popularity he was too busy so ordered some trays and they were a HIT! Came exactly on time and everyone was delighted. The gluten free penne vodka pasta with chicken was so good all the non gluten people loved it as well, his chicken fingers are the best ever with real chicken and great sauces, baked Mac and cheese was a huge hit and Caesar salad wonderful with great dressing! No one was terribly interested in the sirloin burgers and hot dogs we grilled! You can't go wrong with David Grant! Also, their trays are very generous! read more

We hired David M Grant for my son's grad party this past weekend. The food was awesome and the server was amazing. I did not have to worry about anything! I will definitely hire them again in the future if the need arises. Thank you David! read more

We just had Dave and his crew caterer our wedding at Lighthouse Point Park and couldn't be happier! Dave was so awesome and flexible in working with us on a menu and details that we had envisioned and in keeping with our budget. Our pre-planning experience with him was great, but even better was the day-of with a fantastic, professional, and polite crew and delicious food! Dave was quick to respond and although brief in his responses he really was on top of everything and the day came together perfectly. Still craving his food! Would definitely recommend David Grant Caterers. read more
