Lunchtime &

Holiday Catering

For office groups, we offer a great assortment of boxed and bulk lunch options that go beyond the basic sandwich and chips combo with a drink. We’ll only need orders to be placed at least 12 hours in advance. You can swing by and pick up your order or have it delivered via DoorDash’s catering service. Delivery addresses must be within 17 miles of our location on Yancey Road. This covers nearly everywhere in Charlotte and the surrounding area: South Park, Huntersville, Gastonia, Matthews, Fort Mill, SC and more.

Throughout the year we have seasonal holiday menus available for pre-order for July 4th, Memorial Day, Thanksgiving, Easter and Passover.
