Memphis is a city that knows flavor. From its famous slow-smoked barbecue to soul food classics, this city serves up meals with a side of Southern hospitality. With award-winning chefs, creative spins on comfort food, and even vegan delights, the Bluff City’s food scene is as diverse as its music history.

When it comes to office lunches, Memphis offers a lot more than barbecue platters (though those are hard to beat). These local caterers deliver boxed lunches that rival any sit-down restaurant in town, making them perfect for busy workdays or team meetings. If you’re looking to bring in the best lunch in Memphis, TN, you’re in the right place.

Bistro on the Bluff by Eat at Eric’s Grill

Bistro on the Bluff makes lunchtime simple and satisfying. “Easy to order, even easier to enjoy. The team was very pleased,” says one happy customer. Their boxed lunches include a sandwich with chips and a cookie, or a fresh salad for lighter fare.

Classic sandwiches with playful names add a little personality to the menu, like “The Gobbler” (turkey and cheese) or “The Oinker” (ham and cheese). For salad lovers, options like the bacon Caesar, chef, or grilled chicken salad offer fresh and flavorful choices. Vegetarian and gluten-free options are also available, making it easy to accommodate everyone’s needs.

El Mero Taco

If you require the convenience of a boxed lunch but want a break from sandwiches and salads, El Mero Taco is the perfect solution. Their boxed lunches come with your choice of protein or veggies, flour tortillas, house-roasted jalapeño salsa, limes, and pickled onions — everything you require for a perfectly customizable (and memorable!) meal.

“If you want a unique and delicious twist on tacos, I recommend ordering from El Mero. The brisket tacos are to die for!” says one enthusiastic fan. “All the options we’ve ordered are full of flavor and spice.” 

The taco options showcase creative combinations, featuring fried chicken, smoked brisket, and smoked habanero shrimp. For plant-based diners, the menu includes jackfruit tacos that deliver rich flavor while remaining vegan-friendly.

Tops Bar-B-Q

“Tops Bar-B-Q is a staple in Memphis, TN and a go-to when feeding clients,” raves one fan, who goes on to call it “Southern BBQ perfection!” With choices like pulled pork sandwiches, smoked chicken, and even BBQ bologna, these boxed lunches are sure to please a crowd.

And while the BBQ gets lots of love, the cheeseburgers are also a top choice. “We will say this over and over. The burgers are for sure the bomb,” one customer insists. “They’re the best in town.” Classic sides like BBQ baked beans, slaw, chips, and cookies round out the meal, leaving everyone happy and satisfied. Add a few gallons of sweet tea for just the right touch of southern charm.

Wrapzody Gourmet Wrapz

Wrapzody Gourmet Wrapz gives boxed lunches a fresh, flavorful spin. It’s the perfect choice for those days when you want some lighter fare. As one reviewer puts it, “Very healthy catering option. The wraps were delicious!”

Boxed lunches feature a wrap or croissant sandwich paired with chips and a cookie, and the options are anything but boring. Wraps include classics like turkey and cheddar with honey mustard, as well as buffalo chicken, “Harvest Chicken Salad”, and a vegan garden veggie with hummus.

Croissant sandwiches bring even more choices, like roast beef and Swiss or tarragon herb chicken salad. And if you want to offer an upgraded experience, consider swapping out the sides for potato salad, pasta salad, fresh fruit — or even a side of soup to warm up the team on those chilly days.
