The holidays in Austin are all about good vibes, great music, and — of course — amazing food. Whether you’re hosting an office holiday party or treating your team to a festive lunch, Austin’s catering scene is packed with local gems that know how to bring flavor to the table.

From classic comfort foods to spreads with a Tex-Mex twist, holiday catering in Austin offers something special for every type of celebration. When it’s time to plan your next event, check out these six local favorites.

Chef TLC’s Sidewalk Café

For an inclusive holiday party, you can’t go wrong with Chef TLC’s Sidewalk Café. One happy customer recently called them, “My absolute favorite of all,” going on to say that “Chef TLC knows how to do it right!” Another chimed in with, “Holy cow, the food was so good!” That level of enthusiasm pretty much sums up what you can expect when you choose these catering pros.

Chef TLC knows that variety is the spice of life, and they offer tons of options that will appeal to vegetarians and meat-eaters alike. Whether you’re kicking things off with dishes like Bourbon-Apricot Meatballs or Pigs in the Blanket, or keeping it fresh with Cranberry Brie Bites and Caprese on a Stick, Chef TLC delivers a spread that feels festive without being fussy. For the main event, you can’t go wrong with BBQ meats, fajitas, or their vegetarian-friendly Mediterranean Bowls.

And if you’re looking to streamline your planning, the Full Meal is the way to go. It bundles their wildly popular Green Goddess Chicken with everything else you need — appetizers, salads, desserts, and drinks — so you can take care of it all with just a few clicks.

Cupprimo Catering

Nothing says “holiday cheer” like a table full of beautifully decorated cakes and cupcakes. Cupprimo Catering delivers sweet treats that are sure to be the talk of the office. “I ordered over 100 cupcakes for an event,” says one happy customer. “Each cupcake was made with amazing care and tasted delicious.”

With traditional, gluten-free, and vegan options, Cupprimo’s festive flavors are perfect for a holiday party or an afternoon pick-me-up.  And while their desserts are the star of the show, Cupprimo also knows how to do breakfast right. Turn your next morning meeting into a festive gathering with delicious bite-sized quiches, freshly baked muffins, and a fresh fruit platter paired with their “secret Cupprimo fruit dip.”

Tso Chinese Takeout & Delivery

If you’re looking for a break from the usual holiday catering options, ordering from Tso Chinese Takeout & Delivery is a great way to wow your team. “In the southern parts of Austin, authentic Asian restaurants are hard to come by,” explains one customer, saying that Tso’s exceeded her expectations. “It’s not the usual Americanized flavors,” another agreed, calling the Drunken Tofu Noodles “delicious.”

The appetizers are always a hit, with choices like crispy veggie spring rolls, pork potstickers, and crab Rangoon that are generously packed with real crab flavor. And let’s talk about the chicken wings — hot honey and sesame aren’t your typical options, but the unique flavors are guaranteed to spark some office buzz.

For the main dishes, Tso’s keeps it easy. Their catering packages come with a mix of entrees, sides, and fortune cookies, so you can feed a group without breaking a sweat. Or keep things simple with individually packaged bowls like General Tso’s Chicken, Honey Walnut Shrimp, or Mongolian Beef, so you can spend more time enjoying the party and less worrying about the food.

Logan’s Roadhouse

Known for their Texas-sized flavors and mesquite wood-grilled goodness, Logan’s Roadhouse has all the classics to keep the team happy. The fall-off-the-bone ribs and signature steaks are always a win, but the Coffee & Cream New York Strip is something special. It’s seasoned with their own coffee blend and topped with a creamy signature sauce and crispy onions. Pair that with Logan’s famous three-cheese bacon mac and cheese, and you’ve got a meal no one will forget.

Of course, you can’t talk about Logan’s without mentioning their made-from-scratch rolls. Customers swear by them, with one raving, they’re “fluffy, airy, and good.” Other dishes, like mesquite-grilled chicken topped with Parmesan peppercorn sauce or a mesquite-grilled chicken salad, make it easy to craft a holiday meal that will please just about everyone. No matter what you choose, Logan’s Roadhouse serves up the kind of hearty, feel-good food that’ll have everyone going back for seconds (and maybe sneaking an extra roll or two).

Kieatss

When it comes to holiday catering in Austin, BBQ is practically a love language, and Kieatss doesn’t disappoint. Their hearty, home-style dishes are the kind of comfort food that makes everyone feel right at home. One happy customer summed it up perfectly: “Everything was amazing! I got the brisket, baked beans, corn on the cob, and assorted cookies. Everyone in the office raved about the meal!”

For a more interactive meal, choose a build-your-own burger bar or taco bar — they’re always an office hit. And for a nostalgic finish, end the meal with Kie’s Chocolate Kreampie, strawberry shortcake, and a side of lemonade.

Jason’s Deli

Simple, fuss-free, and always satisfying, Jason’s Deli is the perfect option for a cozy, comforting holiday party. Their Chicken Alfredo gets rave reviews, with one customer saying it was “divine” with seasoning that was “beyond expectations.”

For a festive office feast, you can’t go wrong with their sandwich platters or pasta spread complete with herb focaccia bread and a fresh salad. Want to warm everyone up? The “Soup for a Group” box and hot roast beef sliders are guaranteed to hit the spot. And don’t forget to add a little flair with a build-your-own baked potato bar or a mix of Aguas Frescas and Wild Berry Hibiscus Tea to make things feel extra special.
