TLC Truth No. 06

Nobody ever
thanked you for
the sad tray.


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.

× Good For ×

Any room
that has to eat.

Weekly

Team Lunches

The standing Friday order that people actually check the calendar for. Set it up once and we will run it every week.

High Stakes

Client Meetings

Lunch that says you thought about it. Individually boxed, labeled, and set out before anyone walks in the room.

All Day

Offsites & Trainings

Full-day agendas need real food at the halfway mark. Hot entrees, salads, and coffee that keeps the afternoon upright.

On Location

Film & Production Crews

Austin shoots, long call sheets, hungry crews. We deliver on the schedule you give us and label everything for the diet sheet.

Milestones

Office Celebrations

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.

Big Rooms

Conferences & Groups

Bigger than a conference room? We cater up to 250 and can host it here instead. Ask about the dining room.

× How It Works ×

Four steps to
lunch.

No portal, no account, no seventeen-field checkout. Talk to a person, get a quote, eat.

01

Send the Details

Fill out the form below or call. Date, time, headcount, delivery address, and anything we should know about the room.

02

Get Your Quote

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.

03

Confirm the Count

Lock the headcount 24 hours out and tell us about any allergies or dietary needs. We label everything accordingly.

04

We Deliver & Set Up

Food arrives ahead of your start time, laid out and ready. You run the meeting. We will get the trays.

× Dietary Needs & Allergies ×

Nobody eats
a side salad
and calls it lunch.


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 ×

Tell us when
and how many.

Send the details and our catering team gets back to you the same business day. Or just call. We like talking about lunch.

× Catering Request

Takes about a minute. No account required.

We reply the same business day. For anything inside 48 hours, call (512) 580-0971.

× Before You Order ×

Questions we
get every week.

Can I see the catering menu?

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.

What is the minimum order for lunch catering?

Ten guests. Below that, place a large order through our regular online ordering and pick it up at the restaurant. Above 250, talk to us about hosting the group here instead.

How far in advance do I need to order?

Forty-eight hours is standard for most orders. Groups over 100 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.

Do you deliver, and how far?

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.

Is the catering menu gluten-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.

Can you handle vegetarian, vegan, and allergy needs in the same order?

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.

What comes with each order?

Food priced per guest, plates, napkins, cutlery, serving utensils, condiments on the side, and menu cards. Sandwich orders include Kettle Brand chips and a cookie. Beverages by the gallon are available and include cups and ice.

Can we set up a standing weekly order?

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.

What if my headcount changes?

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.

Serving up some

TLC.

Drop your guard. Pull up a chair. Make our place, yours.
