ISLAND TIME STYLE
Skip the grocery store trays. Island Time Catering brings smoked meats, homemade sides, scratch-made desserts, and bold flavors to your next party — all made with clean ingredients, no junk, and zero stress.
Sometimes you don’t need a full-service catering crew. You just need incredible food, delivered on time, ready to go.
That’s exactly what Island Time drop-off catering is built for.
When your looking to elevate your next gathering, we got you covered, —from slow-smoked meats, scratch made sides, and decant desserts— we prepare it all fresh and drop it off ready to serve. Just set it out, feed your people, and enjoy the meal without the fuss.
It’s the easiest way to get top notch restaurant-quality food to a party, office, or event — without the full-service price tag or the coordination headache.
And unlike most drop-off catering options, ours is made with clean ingredients. No seed oils. No artificial junk. No shortcuts.
Most drop-off catering is convenient food, but sorta boring. We make drop-off catering that’s actually good food.
Island Time is seed oil free — no canola, vegetable, soybean, or other processed oils that dominate the food industry. We skip the high-fructose corn syrup, artificial preservatives, and enriched grain fillers too.
What we use instead: real ingredients, made from scratch, in our own kitchen. No Junk. Ever.
Seed oils are heavily processed — bleached, refined, and deodorized — and they’re hiding in almost every catered meal out there. We made a conscious decision to do things differently, because the food we drop off at your event is a direct reflection of who we are as a company.
You get the convenience of drop-off catering. Your guests get food they can feel good about eating.
“Clean ingredients. Bold flavor. No compromises.”
Our drop-off catering works seamlessly for both — here’s how:
Birthday parties, baby showers, bridal showers, graduation parties, game day spreads, backyard BBQs, holiday gatherings, family reunions — we drop it off, you take the credit. Order online and we handle everything on our end. You just enjoy the party.
Office lunches, team meetings, employee appreciation events, client gatherings, company holiday parties — drop-off catering is the easiest way to feed a group without managing a catering crew on-site. Order online, we deliver on time, your team eats well. Simple as that.
Whether it’s 10 people around a conference table or 300 people in a backyard, every drop-off gets the same quality, care, and clean ingredients.
No surprises. No complicated coordination. Here’s the whole process:
Check out our catering menu — platters, packages, taco bars, BBQ spreads, box meals and more. Mix and match to build the spread that fits your event.
Our online ordering is fast and simple — place your order in minutes with no back-and-forth. Prefer a human? Call us. We pick up, we're happy to help, and we'll make sure you get exactly what you need.
Your order is made from scratch in our kitchen — smoked, baked, and prepped in-house. Nothing comes out of a bag or a freezer.
We show up on time with your food packaged and ready to go. Everything is labeled, organized, and set up so you can serve with ease.
No coordinating, no cleanup.. Just great food and a great event.
We drop off great food for all of it:
We purchased the game day package for the Super Bowl and it was a 10 out of 10! All of the food was well packaged, the portions were generous... We can't wait to order again!
Highly recommend these guys for your next gathering! They were able to get me a bit of a last minute catering order and everyone at the party loved it.
No cooking, no cleaning and delicious!!
