About Us

Family-Owned Since 1977, Leon's Since 1960

For over 45 years, T&L Catering has been proudly serving our community as a trusted, family-owned and operated catering company. What began in 1977 as a small operation has grown into one of the area's largest off-premise catering services, offering everything from elegant wedding catering and corporate events to backyard BBQs and seasonal celebrations. In 2003, we proudly became the home of the New Leon's Catering, another family-owned business with a history of excellence dating back to 1960.

At T&L Catering, we believe that great events start with great food. That's why we prepare every dish with the finest ingredients, bringing the same attention to quality and detail to everything we do—whether it's a casual picnic or a formal sit-down dinner. As a full-service catering company, we specialize in making event planning stress-free by offering one-stop solutions, including tent and party rentals, banquet hall locations, and personalized support to ensure your event is seamless and unforgettable.

Let us bring our family's passion for food, service, and hospitality to your next event!
