Office catering in Detroit: what to expect

Detroit's office demand is still centered downtown. CBRE put downtown vacancy at 18.9% in the second quarter of 2026, a little under the 19.4% metro rate, and GM moved its headquarters into roughly 200,000 square feet at Hudson's Detroit on Woodward. Midtown adds the Detroit Medical Center and Wayne State, and Henry Ford Health is headquartered in the city. The suburbs are softer, with Troy at 22.85% vacant in early 2026. For downtown desks, Mike's Kabob Grille sits at Fort and Griswold, Red Smoke Barbeque is in Greektown and Baobab Fare is on Woodward in New Center. Edibles Rex cooks on the east side. For the northern suburbs, Forte Belanger is based in Troy, Andiamo in Warren, Kristina's in Shelby Township, and Detroit 75 Kitchen runs a second kitchen in Madison Heights.

Only four of these caterers post prices on their own sites. Mike's Kabob Grille lists party trays from $79 and chef's combos from $149.90 to $219.90, and you can order online. Baobab Fare prices its mains at $92 to $264 for 15 servings and also takes orders online, but it is pickup only. Detroit 75 Kitchen sets a $375 food minimum on weekdays and $675 on Saturdays, and wants at least 24 hours. Govinda's sells Indian trays at $110 to $130. On minimums, Edibles Rex needs $150 for delivery and your order by 3pm two business days out, and Kristina's needs 25 guests on weekdays, with boxed lunches ordered 10 per item. Thomas's, Forte Belanger and Magnolia Dom's work from quote forms, and Thomas's wants your final count 15 days before the event.

A few Detroit details before you order. Michigan's 6% sales tax shows up on catered food, and Edibles Rex adds a service charge on top that its web page lists at 20% and its menu PDF at 18%, so ask which one is current. Delivery fees vary a lot. Detroit 75 Kitchen charges $35 within 15 miles of Madison Heights, Kristina's starts delivery at $175 plus a $40 disposables fee, and Govinda's charges $0.75 a mile round trip. Thomas's and Forte Belanger are full-service houses, so they are not the call for a quick sandwich drop. Plan around the Detroit Auto Show, which ran January 14 to 25 in 2026 at Huntington Place. We couldn't verify Red Smoke Barbeque, Detroit Soul or Cassie's Catering because their websites were down when we checked, so call them directly.
