Office catering in Birmingham: what to expect

Birmingham's office market is soft overall, with vacancy at 19.9% in the third quarter of 2026, but the Highway 280 and I-459 corridor led the metro in absorption that quarter. That's where Ashley Mac's Kitchen is useful, since it delivers within 15 miles of its Cahaba Heights kitchen. Homewood Gourmet covers Homewood, Mountain Brook and Vestavia Hills. Downtown and Southside lean on UAB, which employs more than 28,000 people, and on Regions, the only Fortune 500 company based in Alabama. Corretti Catering works out of The Florentine downtown, and Tre Luna is on 5th Avenue South. Daxko is moving its headquarters from Homewood to The Switch downtown in 2027, and Brasfield & Gorrie is expanding in Lakeview, so the city core is getting busier.

Seven of these caterers publish real prices. Full Moon bag lunches run $8 to $13 per person, and its buffets run $13 to $20. SAW's BBQ lists boxed lunches at $13 to $18. Martin's boxed meals are $9.49 to $18.49 with a 15 box minimum. Homewood Gourmet and Tre Luna both sit around $13.50 to $13.99 for a box lunch, Happy Catering does lunch delivery for $14.95 a head with a 15 person minimum, and La Paz taco buffets start at $12.50 at lunch. Ten people is the common minimum. Dreamland, Martin's and Ashley Mac's want 48 hours notice, and La Paz needs 24. If you'd rather order online, Dreamland, Martin's, Happy Catering, Homewood Gourmet and Majestic all take orders that way.

A few local details matter when you compare quotes. Birmingham's combined sales tax is 10%, and Homewood Gourmet notes that its prices don't include tax or delivery. Delivery fees vary a lot. Ashley Mac's charges a flat $35, Homewood Gourmet takes 15% up to $300 and then $50 flat, Martin's adds 12.5%, and La Paz adds a $50 service charge. Dreamland adds 15% once you hit 100 box lunches. Kathy G, Savoie, Corretti and Vaughan & Co. quote every event, so call them for anything staffed. Martin's needs two weeks for full service. When the BJCC is busy, book early. It hosted 466 events in 2024. We couldn't confirm a Birmingham location for Corporate Caterers, so it's left out here.
