Our drop-off catering menu features thoughtfully curated packages and a la carte platters, all served family style. Each package is designed for 8–10 with an option to choose either a pre-selected menu of our favorites or build your own. Prefer to customize? You can also build your own menu by ordering from our a la carte platters.

We recommend starting with a package for a well-rounded spread, then adding platters to round things out or accommodate more guests.

1. Browse the menu – Choose a package, platters, or both.
2. Decide your headcount – Packages serve 8–10; Platters vary in serving sizes.

When should I schedule my delivery? We recommend choosing a delivery time slightly earlier than when you plan to serve the food—especially if your event has a strict start time. While we do our best to arrive a few minutes before your scheduled time, unexpected delays like traffic can occasionally occur. Selecting an earlier window helps ensure everything is ready right when you need it.

What if my address is outside of your delivery zones? If you’re outside our standard delivery zones, feel free to email us at catering@thesmithrestaurant.com. While we can’t guarantee delivery, we’ll do our best to accommodate your request.

Do you provide utensils and plates? We provide disposable utensils, serving utensils, and plates upon request. This can be selected at checkout.

Will your team assist with setup upon delivery? We provide drop-off only catering and are unable to assist with on-site setup. All items will be neatly packed and ready for you to serve.
