My work brought in Ingallina's for lunch last week and we all got to pick our own food. I got the Cilantro Turkey Pretzel roll Executive Lunch. The catering was a bit late but honestly I don't mind. The food was good, the sandwich wasn't soggy, the pickle was good, the cookies were nice, and the fruit cup was a nice touch. I think the thing I would've hoped for was the chance to pick my own drink, cookie, and chip option. We all got random cookies (and traded which was fun), bottled water (which I with I could've opted out of, bottled water is terrible for the environment), and basic salted chips. If work order's it again it's a good enough meal but I think I'd rather go elsewhere. read more

Ingallina's Box Lunch - Caterers Near Me - Portland, Oregon

I didn't think it would be possible to make a sandwich with literally zero flavor, but the "Garlic Jerk Chicken" special box lunch from Ingallina's did it. I hope it was mislabeled as a salt-free, dietary restriction hospital cafeteria option. Definitely wouldn't pay for this sandwich. read more

I've used them for 70+ value lunches multiple times and everyone had nothing but good things to say after lunch. Delivery was right on time.

Sweet potato is by name & nature SWEET. How then could it seem appropriate to pair that with sugar caramelized walnuts & sugar-sweetened cranberries? This salad is more candy than salad. Vegetarians are not looking to replace their protein intake with SUGAR. Try for eg. quinoa, bulgar, cous cous, rice, chickpeas, legumes, etc etc. Do you guys use a chef or nutritionist before you pump out thousands of the same candy salad? Also, 70% of the sweet potato was so undercooked/barely cooked it was too hard to bite through. read more

Went with Ingallina's based on recommendation of included cookie. Convenient for scheduled team building event but value + gratuity was way over priced per the flavor of the food. Bland and boring. Ingredients were flavorless. Bread was stale and hard. Chips were generic. Cookie was so-so and basically so not worth it. read more

The box lunches are okay. The salad was pretty decent but the bread was a little stale. I really do like how they package everything though. Nice box with some color coordinated tissue paper wrapping. I feel like aesthetic wise, Ingallinas gets an A+. Taste wise, everything was pretty descent, but not a ton to write about! read more

Did I luck out! I had never heard of Ingallina's and had read only two reviews but it sounded as if their offerings would be just right for my event with 12 women. I was wonderfully surprised with the expediency and care given that Ingallina's provided. Their coffee service works smoothly and easily and the coffee itself was good. I can't say enough about the full sub box lunch sandwiches. The women expressed how surprisingly good, fresh and well seasoned they are. They are compact, divided into halves which made for easy handling. The combination of the coffee service, sandwiches and delivery is more than reasonably priced. I felt I definitely got my money's worth and I will definitely go with them again. read more

I work in an office where vendors quite often bring us in lunch. I guess it isn't bribery as long as it's edible. My co-workers LOVE it when they bring in Ingallinas, but I made the mistake of trying out a salad (versus their awesome sandwiches) and felt that it left something to be desired. For starters, there was just too much lettuce and not enough barbecue chicken. I also hate those weird lettuces that resemble seaweed (like coral found on the ocean floor) and taste bitter like a lime rind. You know? The kind that looks more like it belongs in a flower pot than on your plate. It's that damned endive frisee stuff that looks more like Oscar the Grouch than food. I absolutely love all of Ingallinas sandwiches (well, except for the Greek one, but that's because it's vegetarian and I believe meat belongs between 2 pieces of bread) so I should stick with what I know I will love. They use fat pieces of fresh bread and always stuff their sandwiches full of meats and cheeses. I guess that's why I didn't realize my salad would have so much lettuce...which sounds dumb, considering that lettuce is the staple in which a salad is based upon. Next time, I am back to my old standby of smoked turkey and bacon on whole wheat bread. Their lunch boxes come with a dish of fruit or vegetables, a giant cookie (my favorite being their snicker doodle), potato chips and a bottle of water. I really shouldn't complain too much about the salad...I just ate all the chicken and tortilla chips off the top of my salad then pushed the extra half bowl of lettuce away and dug into the other goodies. read more

We've ordered box lunches before and they were boxed well, had water, napkins, cookie, and assorted other niceties. Salads were good, but the sandwiches were dry. I must say the avocado was usually fresh and the meats and other ingredients were good AND they delivered free. This time we ordered a slider tray and what a huge disappointment. 3 varieties and all could not have been drier or more tasteless. The avocado on the vegetarian was brown-black and the beef on the barbacoa was tough and tasteless. AND, NOW the delivery fee for this little tray of sliders was $10.00. We had a little trouble swallowing that one. Won't be back................ read more

I have been ordering box lunches for our office numerous times, and it's been consistent and on time. This morning I dialed to order only to find out that now they switched to on-line ordering. I frantically started making an account because I needed to make sure they would deliver on time.. We had a couple of a la carte orders, and when I was ready to place an order I noticed that a la carte items are still shown full priced, plus there is a delivery charge!!! The whole order was going to be almost $100 for 6 people. I canceled my order! I ended up ordering our lunch at a neighborhood cafe for half this price. Way to make it impersonal, Ingallina's! Customer service went from 100 to 0. read more

I have been impressed with Ingallina's when we have them cater meetings at work. Today I called with a last minute order hoping to be able to pick it up within an hour. Not only were they amazing and able to get my order ready within the hour, they delivered 15 minutes before promised. The girl taking the order was also very nice, and calmed me down from my fire drill like panic. Specifically I ordered the cheese/cracker and fruit plate. It was perfect for the small group meeting and was devoured quickly. Thanks again! read more

I called in advance to figure out exactly how to order what I wanted that would be without sugar, dairy, and gluten. I gave my order to the person in charge of our group, who preordered the lunches. On the day of the order, Ingallina's refused to make my order. I had previously been impressed with their offerings and service. That changed with my recent experience. read more

Welcome to the world of mediocrity. Now keep in mind that this is a catering business, so you are paying for the service of having food delivered to your office ... unfortunately, the food is just not that great. You get a little fruit salad, which is great, but the fruit is old and on the verge of extinction. You get a cookie, which is nice, and tastes okay. The main event, your sandwich, is disappointing. It is shockingly small. And all the ingredients are just clumped in the middle, like they were dropped from the sky, instead of being laid across the bread like a proper sandwich. So you end up with about 50% of the sandwich being bread only, and half of the sandwich being a clump of fixings, whatever it was that you ordered. If you happen to get a lunch box because your office orders from this place, then I think that you can safely eat it, but by no means should you go out of your way to procure one. If you get the pick of where to order lunch from, I'd stay well clear. read more

Very nice catering service and many options to please everyone. They were always a hit for office lunch meetings.

I've used Ingallina's catering service extensively over the past few months. We held training sessions for 70 people over the course of two weeks and ordered Ingallina's every day for breakfast and lunch. Deliver is always prompt, driver courteous. Food is reasonably priced (for a box lunch) and always good. People are always pleased with their food. I highly recommend these folks for business meetings and working lunches. read more

Great place to deliver business lunches. They offer sandwich boxes and salad boxes. They have locations in Seattle, Portland and Los Angeles read more

See all

Have you ever had an office meeting where they ordered in "box lunches?" OK, I can hear you scream all the way here! Next time, try Ingallinas in Portland or Wilsonville and you will change your tune...or scream. Not only THE BEST box lunch I have ever had, but the best multi-grain salad I have ever had! They think of everything, right down to the wooden toothpick! Make no mistake, this is gourmet eating - but out of a box. read more

They have a good selection of food for meetings. However they're not good about delivering on time. Customer service is good, food is okay too. They won't be high on my list again for my next meeting read more

I have used Ingallinas now 3 times for a monthly group meeting for an association I coordinate, and they have not failed! This is the third caterer for box lunches I've tried and it's definitely the best. The quality and type of food you get beats all others (much better than Elephant's). For the same price as others, you get an additional fruit salad, chips, and fresh cookie. Plus great touches like mints, wet naps and a toothpick. I will use them for future meetings for sure. Oh and they call right after you place the order to confirm. Thanks for the excellent customer service--it's very much appreciated! read more

As far as a boxed lunch goes Ingallinas' is actually pretty rad. We ordered their fiesta platter for our biweekly office meeting, it came with the following: *Assorted Wraps *Large Fruit Tart *Chips w/ Salsa and Guacamole *Tortilla Salad We also ordered a side of cake bites - I felt that 24.00 for a platter of 24 cake bites was a little steep, but after tasting one I couldn't have been more wrong. They are by far the BEST cake bites I've ever had. I generally hate cake. I think it's far too dry and just leaves my mouth with an overly sweet taste in it. These were almost more like brownie bites, and while they were very rich, they didn't leave you feeling like you're mouth was going into diabetic shock. The fruit tart was just as good as the cake bites. The fruit was fresh, the custard was light and pleasantly flavored with an even consistency in texture, and the cookie crust was chewy and moist. We all agreed that the salad was wonderful. The vegetables were all crisp and fresh, it contained beans and corn as well, and some chicken. None of the flavors seemed to over power any of the others, they all worked together. In fact, it was so good it really didn't need any dressing. The chips weren't terrible, but they weren't great either. The salsa was a tad runny for my tastes, but the guacamole made up for it. It had chunks of avocado in it and the different spices and vegetables really came together. Surprisingly, the wrap itself was my least favorite part of the meal. It wasn't terrible, but it certainly wasn't great either. Overall it was fairly bland - except for the beef, which was almost gamey. My biggest complaint with the wraps was that they were very random. There was no way to tell what was what - aside from whether it came in a tomato tortilla or a spinach tortilla and whether it was chicken or beef. Some had pickled onions and mango salsa in them, others had feta in them I think while another was an unknown sauce, meat and lettuce. It seemed to be most people's least favorite part of the meal. Going back, all of the sides are most certainly something I would order again. Unfortunately I believe I would steer clear of these particular wraps and try out their sammichs.. since everyone swears that they're amazing. Pricing was reasonable... not really cheap, but completely expected for a group of 10, and there was certainly enough food. Because of the type of food they serve, everything comes in wonderful plastic containers which makes for very easy clean up and storage for leftovers. Utensils, plates, and napkins were not supplied... which in this case was perfectly fine. All in all it's most certainly a place we will order from again. read more

Excellent Food & Service. Fresh ingredients! The salads are the best I've ever had. They serve breakfast, lunch & dinner entrees.

Ingallina's offers stellar customer service and wonderful food! They are our first choice for bringing in lunches for company meetings. Recently, they went out of their way to deliver a small order to us that we had to place only a couple of hours prior to its delivery. To add insult to injury, that meeting got cancelled on our end. The management at Ingallina's worked out an arrangement with us that we were THRILLED with - far beyond our expectations! On a separate occasion, the manager, Joyce Matson, brought a tray of delicious finger sandwiches and other treats to give us a sample of their food. From our perspective, it was a great marketing tool and because their food was so delicious - the experience won us over. We, at NorthWest Engineering Service, Inc are big fans of Ingallina's! read more

I didn't eat there at all today, but instead had one of their delivered box lunches. I had a chicken club sandwich, perfectly tasty, but given a do-over, I'd have the Asian Noodle Salad. The rest of the lunch consisted of chips, fruit, cookie, and bottle of water. There was a nice balance to it and not too much or too little food. Presentation was attractive and clean, and everything arrived on time. Good food and good service; definitely use them for your next catered event. read more

I usually don't get excited about box lunches, but my office has started using them and they are the absolute best! Their selection is extensive (you can even get a California roll box!), the food is great and they even throw in mini water bottles, wet naps & a mint (I got a chocolate covered fortune cookie with my California roll & Asian noodle salad box- yum!). They deliver & are great for working lunch meetings and I think they also have catering platters. We use them all of the time now & I highly recommend them! read more

Everything I expected from a catered in box lunch. Our group had the turkey and havarti sandwiches and they were delightful. Everyone was pleased. read more

Ingallina's rocks!!!! The food is always great and the service is OUSTANDING. And not just by my judgement. I work at a firm that has extremely high expectations for commercial caterers, both in quality and service. But Ingallina's always surpasses everyone's expectations. Today, we mistakenly forgot to make a special note that one of our orders needed to be gluten-free, so naturally Ingallina's delivered a regular order instead. This could have been a disaster as the recipient is gluten intollerant and there was no time to make other arrangements. However, even though it was our mistake, Ingallina's immediately sent another driver out with the gluten-free order and it was here within 30 minutes. What's more, they didn't even charge us for the replacement! Thank you Ingallina's for saving the day. I would highly recommend Ingallina's for any of your business catering needs. read more

I haven't ordered from Ingallina's in probably 11 years, yes 11 years. I used to order their boxed lunches all the time and loved them. I ordered my lunch today and I was beyond delighted to find their food was just as amazing as ever! They delivered right one time and my coworkers were in awe of my nice little boxed lunches. I'm sure we will all be ordering again soon. read more

Was brought to our office for lunch, everyone seemed to love their box lunch. I had the smoked turkey havarti sandwich and it was very tasty...it also came with Tim's kettle chips and a big cookie. The fruit in the fruit salad didn't seem super fresh, but that could be due to how far they brought it from, and from sitting unrefrigerated in our lunchroom for over an hour... read more

Cost to much screwed my delivery order. Took them way to long to make it right. Then when I did get it was not to my expectations. The name is fully loaded it was loaded all right all veggies no meat as they claim. Way over priced for what little you get. They also told me my replacement would arrive with in a hour try an hour and fourty five minutes later read more

We ordered Boxed Lunches for about 40 staff at four different locations for Administrative Professionals Day. Everyone got exactly what they ordered, they were delivered on time, they were delicious and we got excellent feedback from staff. Thank you!! read more

We ordered box lunches for a work lunch. The bread on the sandwiches was soggy, and the food lacked flavor. The boxed lunches were convenient, but not tasty and not worth the cost. We will not be ordering from here again. read more

The sandwiches are upscale better than average. The box lunch comes with everything possible you will need. The cookies are amazing. I would highly recommend them for your lunch meetings. read more

We just used Ingallina's for a company picnic, and I was really pleased. Our event was on a Sunday, they delivered everything on time (given a 30 minute window), and the food was great. Our group (like all of Portland) is filled with people with food allergies and sensitivities. I called Ingallina's ahead of time to find out if there were any potential allergens in the food, they ran down the ingredients with me, and the chef labeled anything in our bunch of items that did have allergens (specifically egg). Everybody liked the food (we got the tropical platter plus a few other things), and unlike the other reviews here, our fruit was super fresh. Really pleased with the food and service. Will definitely use again. read more
