About Us

A Family Passion for Food, Service & Hospitality

Serving our community 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.

What Our Clients Say

“

We used T & L catering for my son’s high school graduation party. The food was absolutely delicious!!!! My son is a picky eater and enjoyed every dish. It arrived on time and set up was completed prior to the start of the party as promised. Tom, Linda and staff are wonderful and provided great customer service. Will recommend and use them again in the near future.
