We used Maggie Cooks to cater a baby shower. I selected all of the food we served through phone conversations and emails with Jane. She made the process very easy. We picked everything up the day of the shower and everything was beautifully plated unless we needed to heat something. In that case the food was ready to go on an oven pan and we were given a ceramic plate to put it on once heated. Our guests raved about the food at the party and for days after. I highly recommend Maggie Cooks to cater your party! read more

We recently used Maggie Cooks to cater a dinner party for 9 adults celebrating a 75th birthday. Maggie Cooks has an extensive menu to select from and with some guidance from Jane we were able to select Hors D'oeuvres and entrees that everyone could enjoy. The food was delicious and there were leftovers (yum!) We highly recommend Maggie Cooks for catering for any occasion and look forward to using them for future celebrations. read more

It has taken far too long to write this review, but after several in home events/dinners/parties, it is only fitting that we give Maggie Cooks the review it deserves even if that means they may get a little busier and can not cater our next event. When we moved "out to the burbs" a few years ago we wanted to entertain family along with new and old friends. What makes working with Maggie and Jane so great is that they work with you to customize each occasion. Whether you want formal plated courses, passed hors d'oeuvres, or family style brunch, they deliver delicious options time after time. Those of you who would rather enjoy your guests than take credit for the delicious food you are pretending to churn out in the kitchen can hire a server(s) to help. Reasonable prices, quality ingredients, and a business who delivers on what is agreed is all we can ask. Maggie Cooks excels in providing memorable meals and experiences without ever having to leave home. read more

See all

Last night I had a wonderful experience tasting Maggie Cooks food and meeting the two masterminds behind Maggie Cooks catering. Everything I had from apps to dessert was amazing. Jane and Margaret are so nice and so knowledgeable about their craft. I would recommend them for your next event! Amazing! read more

Recommended by a local moms group - I reached out to Maggie Cooks regarding food for a 40 person baby shower. I cannot say enough good things about the experience, and of course, the FOOD. Maggie & Jane were super easy to work with...they provided an initial menu based on my request, and we tweaked it easily from there. The food (apps, sandwiches, salads, and desserts) were all DELICIOUS and worked so so well together. I should also mention that the amount of food was perfect for my number of guests - we had a few leftovers...but that's what I was hoping for! Highly highly recommend! read more

The Mediterranean cuisine supplied for the bridal shower I hosted by Maggie Cooks was fabulous. All the guests commented how delicious the food was. I would unequivocally recommend Maggie cooks. Jane was wonderful to work with. she was reliable, responded quickly and very helpful. read more

I have been using Maggie Cooks for 19 years! From Bar/Bat Mitzvah's to Weddings, holidays, birthdays etc. Their food is always spectacular! I've ordered everything from a Sunday brunch menu to sit down dinners. I would never use anyone else! read more

Due to health reasons this was the first year I did not prepare the food for Passover for my family. Great big thank you to Maggie Cooks!! Maggie and Jane and their staff prepared an outstanding meal for our Passover Seder. Every course from chicken soup, gefilte fish, Moroccan chicken, brisket, salmon,brussel sprouts, quinoa, potato kugel, mashed potatoes, Pavlova and chocolate roll was so well prepared and pleased everyone's palate. Yes it was a lot of food but it was all delicious. Being and an event planner myself and having a past history of being a food editor I'm a "fussy" customer. I think Maggie Cooks might be a new "family tradition" for Passover. Many thanks again Jane and Maggie! Carolyn P read more

I grew up in a family full of food snobs and a mom who is an excellent cook. She orders weekly dinners from Maggie and Jane whenever she can because they are delicious, taste "homemade" and are very well priced. Trust me, their food never disappoints! Living out of town, I always feel comforted knowing they are being fed by you both! read more

Most people are probably familiar with the superb catering of Jane and Maggie, but please don't forget they offer meals for lunch and dinner. Of course, they are wonderful, but one of the side benefits is that Maggie Cooks helps you prepare better meals at home. When I had the trio of stuffed vegetables for dinner, I realized that sometimes more seasoning is better than less. After I tasted my wife's roasted salmon sandwich with basil mayonnaise and caramelized onions, I realized there is more than salmon salad. One unadvertised special is that every meal comes with a tiny and absolutely delicious dessert. Hire them for the holidays, but don't forget Maggie and Jane when you're thinking about what to have for lunch or dinner, too. Since our first dinner two years ago, they have become a part of our weekly dining experience and we have never been disappointed. read more

First time I ever ordered from here. Wanted to do something special for my wife's birthday. Jane was very easy to work with and the food was great...all 4 courses. I would totally recommend them. They even were able to provide a server for the meal who final prepped, served, and cleaned up. read more

We had such a wonderful experience with Maggie Cooks, which catered a graduation party for us this past weekend. From start to finish, they made the process easy helping us plan via email a menu with variety and the perfect amount of food. The dishes were each amazing - - hors d'oeuvres, salad, entrees and desserts, and everything was timely delivered to our home. Trust their recommendations, and let them do the cooking. Key Lime Bites - - AMAZING! First heard about them on Yelp and Google. Trust the reviews. read more

I have been using Maggie Cooks for almost 20 years now. Every time I use them I fall in love all over again. Their menu selections are endless and they are amazing at guiding you. They did a brunch for me today and I could not have been happier. The Ratatoullie Tart, The Quiche, salad dressing, berries, scones are were perfection. And it all comes on beautiful platters ready to serve. Run don't walk for your next gathering. You will NOT be dissappointed. read more

I can't thank Jane and Maggie enough! We ordered food my son's first birthday. I had no idea how much food was needed but Jane helped with everything. She recommended different options and helped keep the price reasonable. My guests were raving about everything, especially the Orzo Salad with Roasted Vegetables. I would definitely recommend and order again!! read more

Ordered Rosh Hashanah dinner from Maggie Cooks after reading some recommendations on the Westfield moms Facebook page. The food was so amazing and everyone raved about it. I will definitely order catering from here again and highly recommend using Maggie Cooks !! read more

Maggie Cooks is some of, if not the best food I ever had. I've had their food for different events including a bridal shower and a football tailgate and both times did not disappoint. The fried chicken, the pigs in a blanket and the Mac n cheese are so delicious and everyone at my tailgate party was raving about the food all thanks to Maggie Cooks! I wish I lived closer so I can frequently order weekly dinners read more

Thanks Maggie Cooks for your homemade tomato soup that my husband and I enjoyed on this cold rainy day. I made grilled cheese to go with it! Simply put one of my favorite soups from Maggie Cooks! Everyone stay healthy and safe during this very difficult time. I highly recommend ordering their weekly dinners as well!! read more

I have ordered sandwiches from Maggie Cooks before and always been very pleased so I decided to get a few side dishes for Thanksgiving to make it easier on myself. The sausage stuffing and the sweet potato casserole were the best part of the meal! Everything they make is delicious....and has that homemade taste. read more

Maggie Cooks catered a bridal shower luncheon for us and if there were more than 5 stars they would get them. Jane was great in every way! She came up with the perfect menu and let me tell you, the food selections were generous, beautifully prepared and presented. and absolutely delicious. They pay such attention to detail and put such care into their creations. All of our guests commented on how delicious the food was. I highly recommend using Maggie Cooks for any food needs, be it a party for 2 or 200, you will be very happy! read more

I've been using Maggie Cooks for probably over 15 years and I have NEVER once been disappointed. Jane and Maggie have catered both small and large parties for me and the food is amazing every single time. Not to mention the incredible presentation and attention to detail. I am very fussy with having everything perfect for my guests and I can always rest assured the food will be spot on. I have also done Thanksgiving meals and weekly dinner specials and it never ceases to amazing me how they can get the food, whether it be vegetables, mains, or desserts, so perfectly prepared and so tasty. Jane and Maggie are so talented and so sweet and accommodating. Using them for your catering needs is a no brainer. I am lucky to have found them so long ago! read more

We heart Maggie Cooks. We regularly pick up a take out dinner when we need help filling in our weekday meals and can't cook and don't want to order same old. Maggie Cooks sends an email at the beginning of each week (and posts on their website) with a list of planned lunches and dinners for each day of the week. The meals are always wholesome yet interesting and taste deliciously homemade and fresh - not at all like local restaurant delivery. The portions are generous and they always include all the food groups - e.g. you aren't just ordering steak, you get the appropriate sides too and a salad and a delicious "sweet bite" gratis to finish it off. They are always accommodating of my requests - e.g. Thai Chicken lettuce wraps for my husband and then a vegetarian-friendly version of that for me. Jane deals with my texts to coordinate a schedule for pick up - helping me out when I'm getting back from work late and she'll even come out to the car so my kids don't have to get out. We have also ordered from their various holiday catering menus, which were a huge help to take pressure off cooking the entire meal but still tasting/seeming homemade - from apps to dessert a hit. :) read more

I have used Maggie Cooks several times over the past 7 years - for every kind of event ranging from large backyard gatherings to small family dinners to cocktail parties and, most recently, for my daughter's First Communion. Their service is exceptional and their food is outstanding - somehow Joan and Maggie make every meal (no matter how large) taste homemade using the freshest ingredients. They plate it beautifully and drop it of ready to go in real, classic serving bowls and platters... complete with instructions for the finishing touches. I cannot recommend them enough and no longer worry about hosting events because I know Maggie and Joan will always come through for me! read more

Went for lunch with the family (no real eating area, but they were awesome and let us eat anyways) Food was amazing! All made to order with fresh, homemade ingredients. I had a pan roasted chicken sandwich with prosciutto on ciabatta. It was one of the best sandwiches I've had. Bread was perfectly done for the sandwich. My wife had a southwestern chicken wrap and she said it was delicious as well. As a side, we both had an orzo salad that was great too! They do catering as well and wish we had used them for a party we had over the holidays! Will definitely be back! read more

I recently received a multi night gift certificate for Maggie Cooks. We signed up for the email blast which alerts us to each week's changing menu. Each family member makes their selection which I then forward to Maggie Cooks. I conveniently pick up the items in Westfield and bring home a tremendous meal. We have thoroughly enjoyed every item we have ordered and will continue our patronage of Maggie Cooks once the gift certificate is complete. Once you try them for yourselves I am sure you too will be enjoying many meals and giving out gift certificates to your friends. read more

Maggie Cooks truly impressed us! Hubby and I have been looking for better lunch and dinner options during the very busy work week and we feel we have found it! In the process of setting up weekly cadence for meal orders. Both lunch and dinner options have been DELICIOUS and customer service was SUPERB. Maggie Cooks offers flexibility and seems very accommodating. Haven't used them for catering yet but we will definitely use their services in the future. read more

They recently catered a party I had for 50 people. The food was excellent. Their menu has lots of mouth-watering choices. The gourmet sandwiches were fantastic, the smoked salmon delicious, and the goat cheeses and fig tarts were a huge success. Also, be sure to get the French macaroons; they were the best macaroons I've ever had. Everyone at the party asked who my caterer was. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because they don't deliver the food, you have to pick it up. This also wouldn't have been a big deal, but the party started at 2, and the food wasn't finished until 12:30 the day of. I had to send someone to pick up the food and miss the Baptism. Then when we got back to the house, I had to quickly figure out what everything was, and organize it for my hungry waiting guests. This may not be the norm. They were extremely busy that particular week. They were lovely after the party, even offering to come pick up the beautiful ceramic platters they provided for the food. So long answer shortened, would I use them again? Absolutely. read more

My neighbor and I hosted a small backyard prom party for my daughter. We used Maggie Cooks for appetizers and dinner. The food was amazing. Everything was so fresh and delicious. Jane was so helpful in assisting us with the menu and choices we made. The crab cake appetizers were delicious and the bruschetta was so fresh and she served it in individual portions (that was a great idea). Jane delivered everything to the house. This was a tremendous help. Everything was prepared and displayed beautifully. Serving platters and utensils were also provided. Maggie Cooks was an amazing find and we can't wait to use them again. Thank you Jane for helping to make it such a special evening. read more

I have been a big fan of Maggie Cooks for years! From weekly delicious dinners, to Fourth of July parties, Mother's day brunches, Communions, Birthday parties and my latest Vegan Graduation Party ..... they always make delicious food that all of my guest rave about. They also do a beautiful job with the presentation of food on lovely platters, adorable baskets, and unique bowls. I do not know what I would have done without them over the years. Jane and Margaret you are so creatively unique and truly care about your clients and their events! Thank you read more

Maggie Cooks made the desserts for my wedding and my guests LOVED them all. Their macarons are to DIE for - banana is my absolute favorite but you really can't go wrong. Love, love, love Maggie Cooks! read more

This place is amazing! My boyfriend and I purchased a Groupon before going which included 2 sandwiches, 2 sides, and 2 desserts. Everything was really fresh and tasty. I got the fried chicken sandwich and he got the southwestern chicken wrap and we went halfsies. The raspberry squares we got for dessert were really good too. Will definitely go back next time we are in town. read more

If you are looking for a home cooked, gourmet meal for take out- this is your place. The food is absolutely delicious. Maggie is a skilled chef with imaginative, well executed dinners. We get take out from here once a week, because lets face it- sometimes you just don't have time to cook. Maggie Cooks is a nice break from the usual takeout you get from a restaurant because it's literally a home cooked, healthy meal. Each week, the menu is posted on maggiecooks.net and features a different meal, including sides, for each night of the week (no weekends). She even puts in a complimentary dessert. There is also take out for lunch- gourmet sandwiches, etc. This is a must try!!!! read more

Just had Maggie's catered in for a company event tonight. Hands down best catered food I've ever had and I've been to a good many of catered events. The menu consisted of tomato soup which was absolutely amazing, butternut squash and spinach lasagna, stuffed chicken, beef tenderloin, garlic mashed potatoes and a salad. Words can't describe how much I loved this. Will be the caterers for our company meetings going forward!! read more

Great sandwiches. And salads were wonderful. Loved the curried quinoa and my husband though the potato salad was fabulous. Easy in and out with good parking read more

Maggie Cooks catered an engagement party we held at our home and it was fantastic! We did a brunch style menu with delicious banana French toast, tarragon chicken sandwiches, orzo salad,chocolate mousse cake, carrot cupcakes, and more.

We had a memorable birthday celebration with the help of the delicious picnic dinner prepared at Maggie cooks. The staff was pleasant, courteous and helpful. They recommended some specific items to satisfy my wife and son's specific requests. The food was well packed and prepared. And everything was delicious! Thank you for the great service and the fantastic dinner! read more

Get meals to go quite often. Every meal is better than the next! This Easter, Maggie Cooks made our family's brunch. Everything was wonderful. The scones and muffins, egg casserole, and the chicken tenders were the best we've had in ages!!!. When I choose to not cook, which is often, Maggie Cooks always has a great meal to serve. Everything is home cooked with great loving touches. The french macroons are to die for!!!! I had to be off my feet for months after surgery a while ago, and Maggie Cooks made all our dinners. Each was healthy, wholesome, and delicious. We never had to think about our dinners. Both Jane and Maggie are accommodating, warm, professional, and caring. Never had a bad meal.... Give them a try-you won't be sorry!!! read more

I just hosted a 60th birthday party for my husband and Maggie Cooks did hors d'oevres, dinner and dessert. Dinner was buffet style and there was almost nothing left even though we had more than enough for the number of people, because everyone went back for seconds and thirds. Huge success, everyone raved about the food. They were so easy to work with, had an extensive menu with really interesting choices compared to the usual buffet entrees you find everywhere. Biggest hits among all the great food were the asian dumpling appetizers, braised short rib entree, crab cakes entree, asian slaw and mini chocolate mousse cups. I highly recommend them for catered events and will definitely use them for takeout dinners too, everything is so fresh, well-prepared and delicious. read more

I was in the area and happened to past this little place and decided to stop. What I learned as I entered Maggie Cooks was that they do Fine Catering and lucky for me also happen to serve lunch. I ordered the Veggie Sandwich. I have to say that I eat ALOT of Veggie Sandwiches but have never had anything as amazing as this. It had grilled eggplant, roasted tomatoes, deep dark delicious balsamic onions, pesto and cheese. I cannot describe this delicious combination in words...you really just need to try it yourself. For dessert I indulged in the French Mararons...an absolute must try. They have every flavor imaginable. I had Pumpkin Pie, Pistacio and a little Devil's Food(or at least it tasted like devils food). They were the best I ever had. Soft flavorful middles with a light crisp on the outside. perfection. This place is really a hidden gem. read more

I just hosted a bridal shower for my daughter and Maggie Cooks did scones, mini muffins, macaroons, and lemon and raspberry squares. They were very easy to work with, and I had many flavors to chose from. Everything was delivered on Thursday time, plated on beautiful serving pieces and was delicious! I was thrilled that we had some leftovers that we could enjoy the next day! I would definitely call them again for my catering needs. read more
