THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

More Than Boxed Lunches. Full-Service Catering. 

Philadelphia Box Lunch offers full-service catering for meetings, events, and gatherings of all kinds.

Formerly known as Poor Richard’s Catering, we’ve evolved to better reflect how our customers order today, while delivering the same food, service, and reliability you’ve trusted for decades. The name may be new, but the team, kitchen, and commitment behind every order remain the same.

Our story began in 1984 in the heart of University City, where a neighborhood deli quickly became a local favorite. As demand grew, so did we — expanding to cater corporate, academic, commercial, and civic events throughout Philadelphia and the surrounding counties. What hasn’t changed is our focus on quality, value, and food people genuinely enjoy. Whether you’re planning a working lunch, a large-scale event, or something in between, Philadelphia Box Lunch is here to deliver thoughtful, dependable catering, from boxed lunches to full spreads.

The Same Standards You’ve Always Counted On...

  • Consistent, high-quality food delivered with exceptional value

  • Reliable, professional service backed by decades of experience

  • Flexible catering solutions designed to support events of any size or scope
