Cleveland’s food scene is thriving, blending decades-old classics with a wave of modern, chef-driven creativity. From inventive bistros to beloved neighborhood eateries, this city has earned its reputation as one of the nation’s top culinary hotspots. 

And when it comes to workplace meals, the options are just as impressive. Whether you’re planning a casual team gathering or an upscale client lunch, these caterers deliver the best lunch in Cleveland.

Burgerim

Why settle for just one burger when you can have two… or three? Burgerim’s Duo and Trio Boxed Lunches give you exactly that — plus fries. And these burgers are anything but boring. Think beef, chicken, turkey, or lamb patties, or choose a veggie burger or vegan falafel patty that even meat eaters will love.

Want a lettuce wrap instead of a bun? Sure thing. Toppings? Go classic with lettuce and tomato, or shake things up with caramelized onions, sautéed mushrooms, or grilled jalapeños. Add a splash of BBQ sauce, garlic aioli, or tahini to tie it all together. Feeling fancy? You can even upgrade with a fried egg or grilled pineapple. The possibilities are mouthwatering.

And the best part? All of their burgers are Halal, making them a thoughtful choice for a diverse group. No matter what you select, you’re sure to have a happy team. “Super good food,” says a catering customer. “One of my fav places and everything is delish.”

Agave and Rye

Agave & Rye’s boxed lunches bring bold, creative tacos straight to your office, with flavors that’ll keep your team talking long after lunch is over.  

It’s no wonder they’re one of the first to come to mind when looking for the best lunch in Cleveland. “The best tacos delivered!!” raves one food ordering pro. “Each different one was amazing tasting and stayed crunchy for HOURS! No soggy bottoms here.” 

And these aren’t your average tacos. The boxed lunch menu features exciting options like a “Smoke Show Taco,” packed with BBQ pulled pork, sweet corn fritters, and sweet and spicy bacon, all topped with queso. Or the “Rooster Taco,” where crispy chicken meets creamy mac and cheese, Nashville hot sauce, and sweet pickles, all in a double-stacked hard shell and soft tortilla combo.

Dealing with dietary restrictions? No problem. Many of the tacos are available with gluten-free variations, and you can’t go wrong with the “Sexy Vegan Epic Tacos.” Made with a mouth-watering combo of crispy agave-chipotle tofu and non-dairy cilantro garlic slaw, paired with avocado purée and pickled red onion, they’re proof that plant-based can be just as bold and crave-worthy as the rest.

Bistro At NorthPoint

If you want to wow the team, the “Big Box Lunch” from Bistro at NorthPoint is the way to go. It’s a full package with a sandwich, a side, house-made potato chips, a pickle, and a cookie. Stick with classics or branch out with specialties like the turkey avocado sandwich or the Hawaiian ham sandwich, made with a delicious combo of ham, Swiss, and pineapple.

And don’t overlook their salad boxed lunches — they’re anything but ordinary. The “Fall Harvest Salad” is a standout, featuring grilled chicken, apples, candied pecans, dried cranberries, and apple cider vinaigrette. Or try the Asian, Greek, or deluxe grilled chicken salad for something equally delicious.

Can’t decide? No need. Choose the “½ Sandwich and Salad Box” and enjoy the best of both worlds.

Cafe Bon Appetit

“First time ordering, and the team really enjoyed the food,” says a local catering customer. “We will use them again!” With boxed lunches that are simple but seriously satisfying, it’s no wonder workplaces love ordering in from Café Bon Appetit.

The “Lunch in a Box” features sandwiches loaded with premium ingredients like roast beef, turkey, turkey ham, tuna, and falafel. Customize them with feta, mozzarella, or white American cheese, along with a choice of white or wheat bread. Each box comes complete with chips, a pickle, and a cookie for a no-fuss meal.

And here’s a bonus: All their boxed lunches are Halal, so everyone on your team can dig in without hesitation.

Urban Kitchen & Deli

As every person in charge of food ordering knows, consistency and accuracy are almost as important as the food. With Urban Kitchen & Deli, you don’t have to worry. “AMAZING. On-time & order was 100% accurate,” says one happy customer. “Hot food was hot and cold food was cold.”

And that’s not to say the food isn’t incredible. At Urban Kitchen, variety is the name of the game, and their selection of boxed lunches makes it easy to please every palate.  The corned beef sandwich on rye is always a fan favorite, and vegetarians love the falafel wrap with pickles, turnips, and tahini sauce.

Whether you’re feeding a small team or a large crowd, you can count on Urban Kitchen to deliver on both taste and dependability, making this part of your job easy and stress-free. (Sorry, we can’t help with those back-to-back meetings).
