Office & Group Lunch Catering · South Lamar
Chef-driven lunch catering from the same kitchen that runs the boil pot on South Lamar. Sandwiches built to travel, hot entrees that arrive hot, and a 99% gluten-free kitchen behind all of it. Delivered across Austin, set up before your meeting starts.
TLC Truth No. 06
You know the one. Rolled turkey, a bag of pretzels, a cookie that has been in the box since Tuesday. It feeds people. It does not do anything else.
We run catering out of the same kitchen and off the same standards as the dining room. Wild-caught seafood. Nueske's bacon. Tribeca Oven bread. Brisket that has been in the smoke, not in a bag. If we cannot pronounce it, we do not serve it, and that does not change because the food is going in a box.
Order it and the room notices. That is the whole idea.
Everybody needs some.
× What Comes With It ×
One price per guest covers the food and everything around it. You should not have to run to the store for forks on your way to a client meeting.

The standing Friday order that people actually check the calendar for. Set it up once and we will run it every week.
Lunch that says you thought about it. Individually boxed, labeled, and set out before anyone walks in the room.
Full-day agendas need real food at the halfway mark. Hot entrees, salads, and coffee that keeps the afternoon upright.
Austin shoots, long call sheets, hungry crews. We deliver on the schedule you give us and label everything for the diet sheet.
New hire, closed deal, someone's last day. Trade up to the signature plates and make it feel like an occasion instead of a Tuesday.
Bigger than a conference room? We can cater large groups and can host it here instead. Call and ask about the dining room to get a quote for your group size.
× How It Works ×
No portal, no account, no seventeen-field checkout. Talk to a person, get a quote, eat.
Fill out the form below or call. Date, time, headcount, delivery address, and anything we should know about the room.
We come back the same business day with a menu and an all-in price per guest. Adjust it as many times as you need.
Lock the headcount 24 hours out and tell us about any allergies or dietary needs. We label everything accordingly.
Food arrives ahead of your start time, laid out and ready. You run the meeting. We will get the trays.
× Dietary Needs & Allergies ×
We are happy to accommodate. Just tell us early.
Our kitchen is 99% gluten-free with a dedicated gluten-free fryer, which means most of the menu already works for the person in your office who usually gets handed a fruit cup.
Vegetarian, vegan, dairy-free, nut-free, and pescatarian options are on the menu year round, not as an afterthought. Tell us what you need and we will tell you what works.
Tell us about allergies and restrictions when you place the order, not when we arrive. Every box gets labeled by guest name so nobody has to open three of them to find theirs.
× Start Your Order ×
Send the details and our catering team gets back to you the same business day. Or just call. We like talking about lunch.
× Before You Order ×
Email events@tlcaustin.com or call and we will send the current menu with pricing, usually within the hour. We do not post it here because it changes with the season and with what the Gulf sends us, and we would rather you see the real thing than an old list.
Ten guests. Below that, place a large order through our regular online ordering and pick it up at the restaurant. For larger groups, call us about hosting here instead.
Forty-eight hours is standard for most orders. Groups over 30 need about five business days so we can source properly. Same-day requests are worth a phone call, since it often depends on the day and the item.
We deliver within roughly ten miles of 1100 S Lamar, which covers downtown, South Congress, Zilker, Barton Hills, East Austin, and most of Central Austin. A flat delivery fee is quoted with your order. Pickup at the restaurant is always free.
Our kitchen is 99% gluten-free with a dedicated gluten-free fryer, so most of the menu works as ordered. Sandwiches can be prepared gluten-free on request. Flag any celiac guests when you order so we can handle prep and labeling accordingly.
Yes, and we would rather you tell us up front than hope for the best. Mixed orders are normal. Every box is labeled by guest name and contents so nobody is guessing at the table.
Food priced per guest, plates, napkins, cutlery, serving utensils, condiments on the side, and menu cards.
That is our favorite kind of customer. We will rotate the menu so your team is not eating the same sandwich every Friday, and bill it monthly on account.
Final counts are due 24 hours before delivery. Adjustments after that are handled case by case, and we would rather hear from you than have the wrong number of boxes show up.
Drop your guard. Pull up a chair. Make our place, yours.
