— About Us

Family-owned and operated since 1977.

For over 45 years, T&L Catering has been proudly serving our community as a trusted, family-owned and operated catering company. What began in 1977 as a small operation has grown into one of the area’s largest off-premise catering services, offering everything from elegant wedding catering and corporate events to backyard BBQs and seasonal celebrations. In 2003, we proudly became the home of the New Leon’s Catering, another family-owned business with a history of excellence dating back to 1960.

At T&L Catering, we believe that great events start with great food. That’s why we prepare every dish with the finest ingredients, bringing the same attention to quality and detail to everything we do—whether it’s a casual picnic or a formal sit-down dinner. As a full-service catering company, we specialize in making event planning stress-free by offering one-stop solutions, including tent and party rentals, banquet hall locations, and personalized support to ensure your event is seamless and unforgettable.

Let us bring our family’s passion for food, service, and hospitality to your next event!

Kind words from our clients

★★★★★

“The T&L team did a fantastic job catering our wedding at the James Ward Mansion. They are well organized, Tom was always easy to reach leading up to the event, and the food was delicious. Jaci did a phenomenal job as maitre d', she is the biggest reason we were both able to enjoy every part of the evening without any worry.”

“I have been using them for 20+ years. Have never been disappointed. I always forget to take photos. Used them for my husband's 60th birthday. Everyone raved about the spread and the quality, variety and flavor of the food. Thank you.”

“Easy to contact, easy to coordinate, great communication, and the food was delicious. I secured T & L Catering for a customer event, and they were so pleased with the food they were asking me who I used so they could secure them for their own person future event(s).”
