Best Orange County Catering Service
Orange Catering Service
Above
All Catering, Inc. began its Orange County business in the City of
Cypress in 1994. In 1999 Above All Catering was awarded Business of the
Year. Due to growth and expansion, we now reside at a state of the art
facility in Anaheim.
Our continued commitment to providing our clients with quality cuisine, great service, and steady prices, even when the economy is so volatile and ever so changing, makes us A STEP ABOVE THE REST!
We back up our quality products with talented professional employees. Our experience as a company is incredible. Our Executive Chef, Rudy Mahe, along with his staff, have numerous years experience in the industry. Throughout his years in the industry, Rudy and his staff have catered and prepared foods for just about every cuisine. Our sales department has been turning out parties for years.
We are a full service catering company, therefore we can create and produce events from the ground up, which includes everything from rentals, linens, canopies, flowers, audio/visual, and so on.
Above All Catering is proud to give back to the Orange County community and to the surrounding non-profit groups. We are happy to offer our catering services and support to these groups year after year.
We feel it is important for our customers to know us and our facility. We ALWAYS have an open door policy for you to visit us. Our kitchen and office area is open for you to visit anytime. You should know where and who is preparing your food.
Gary Rodgers - President / Owner
After 24 years of experience in the catering/restaurant industry, Gary Rodgers knows what it takes to be a successful caterer. Like the majority of his staff, Mr. Rodgers has worked up the chain of command in the catering world. Extensive food and beverage experience starting from working as a busboy at a 5-Star dining establishment in San Diego County and eventually worked up to managing all the facilities including 3 banquet rooms, 500 capacity night club and dining room the seats 180. In addition to this facility a small chain of Mexican/ Seafood Market Restaurants were opened and Mr. Rodgers was responsible for their operation. During the early employment years Mr. Rodgers won the prestigious “Waiter of the Year” Award in San Diego County. Mr. Rodgers went on and furthered his managerial experience with a chain of bistros/café’s, American Restaurant Group and a single location restaurant and bar. This owner has his hand in every aspect of his catering business…literally. “It’s all about hard work. I can book it, cook it, grill it, set-up, bartend, decorate, clean-up, even do dishes if I need to.” He carries on this hands-on attitude to his entire staff and trains each of them in all facets of catering so the quality of service is consistent. And the result? “Great food and great service at a great price.” So, in this president’s opinion, what is the secret to being a successful caterer? “Meet and exceed the clients expectations”.

Dear Future Client,
We would first like to thank you for inquiring into our catering service. We are proud of what we've accomplished. It is because of personal service and exceptional staff that we have grown to be one of Orange County's best caterers.
In 1994 our business was located at a small shop in a strip mall in Cypress, CA. After many years at that location, we simply outgrew the facility and purchased a new office and kitchen in Anaheim, CA. The doors opened in August 2003. This allowed us to increase our business and maintain our level of service to our clients. Don't be suprised to hear we're growing again!
Our personal attention involves offering alternatives to metal trays, boring food, and mediocre service that may be offered by other caterers in our area. We use little if any frozen, canned, or pre-made products. Our homemade potato salad is made the old fashioned way, with whole potatoes!
What our commitment amounts to is handling your event to your specification, whether it is a menu change or additional services, i.e., extra clean-up, bartender service, or extra set-up. Our staff is personable, professional, flexible, and your event will be memorable, tasty, and done right if you choose us.. Whether it's a wedding reception, corporate luncheon, or birthday party.
As you compare our catering services to others, please take into consideration all the variables. Our team will not mislead you, nor are there any hidden fees. Compare apples to apples to make sure you are getting what you're paying for.
Call us. Read our testimonials. Ask for references. Visit our kitchen. Once these steps are taken, you will see that we love what we do!
We want your business and welcome the opportunity to service your next event and gain your trust as one of Orange County's Best Caterers!
Sincerely,
Gary and Kristi Rodgers
