Burger Bar Catering That Brings the Flavor to Your Event

A burger bar isn’t just a meal—it’s a crowd-pleaser. Whether you’re feeding a small team or hosting a weekend gathering, burger bars are one of the most customizable, casual, and satisfying catering options available. But at Ny Susan’s Kitchen, we take the traditional build-your-own burger concept and elevate it with spice, heritage, and fresh, unexpected ingredients. Our themed lunch menus include burger bar catering options that offer everything from bold Afro-Caribbean flavors to classic American-style builds—with thoughtful twists throughout.

From patties and buns to sauces and toppings, every detail is built to deliver texture, flavor, and variety. It’s not just about offering beef, lettuce, and tomato. It’s about giving your guests the chance to explore heat, crunch, sweetness, and smoke all in one bite.

Custom Burger Bars for Groups and Gatherings

Our burger bars are designed for maximum flexibility. You can choose between a fully self-serve station, individually boxed burger kits, or a staff-assisted setup for larger events. We provide all the essentials—grilled patties, buns or wraps, fresh vegetables, premium cheeses, and house-made condiments—along with customizable sides and drinks.

We also offer unique setups based on your event type. For example, mini burger sliders are ideal for networking mixers, while full-size burger bars work best for corporate lunches or family-style meals. Explore our broader sandwich catering offerings to pair burgers with gourmet sides or additional mains.

Afro-Caribbean-Inspired Burger Combinations

What sets our burger bar catering apart is the use of cultural flavors that are rarely found in standard menus. We offer spiced beef patties infused with dry rubs and pepper sauces, jerk chicken burgers with grilled pineapple and aioli, and blackened fish burgers with avocado crema. Our plantain buns, mango chutney, and scotch bonnet mayo bring both heat and sweetness to the table, giving your guests something far beyond the typical ketchup-and-mustard experience.

We also experiment with texture—crispy shallots, grilled peppers, and pickled slaw are just a few of the ingredients we rotate through our offerings. Our sandwich lunch packages can be adapted into a burger-focused menu, giving you plenty of options to build a menu that’s fun, filling, and full of flavor.

Burger Bar Catering for Offices, Parties, and Events

Burger bars are an easy win for almost any type of gathering. Office lunches become more fun when guests can build their own burgers exactly how they like them. For casual parties, birthdays, or open houses, burger bars keep the atmosphere relaxed while still delivering a filling, flavorful meal. We cater to indoor and outdoor setups and can provide warmers or self-contained packaging depending on the style of service you prefer.

Our corporate lunch box menu also includes mini burger kits for individual packaging, great for more formal meetings or hybrid team events where flexibility is key.

Vegan, Vegetarian, and Gluten-Free Burger Options

Not everyone wants a beef burger, and we believe no guest should feel like an afterthought. Our burger bar catering includes house-made veggie patties packed with roasted sweet potatoes, lentils, black beans, and herbs. We also offer gluten-free buns, lettuce wrap alternatives, and dairy-free toppings. Each of these options is crafted with the same attention to flavor as the rest of the menu.

We want guests with dietary restrictions to feel excited—not limited—when they build their plate. Whether you’re planning a plant-forward event or want to offer inclusive add-ons, we make sure your burger bar feels welcoming to all. If you’re looking to expand beyond the burger theme while staying health-forward, take a look at our grain bowls catering for complementary menu ideas.

Add Sides, Sauces, and Drinks to Complete the Spread

No burger is complete without sides. Our burger bar catering includes optional trays of crispy fries, seasoned sweet potato wedges, and fried plantains. Guests can choose from an array of house-made sauces like pepper aioli, herbed yogurt, pineapple chutney, and smoky tomato jam. To finish things off, we offer a curated selection of cold drinks and desserts—including fruit-infused waters, sorrel hibiscus tea, cookies, and seasonal bars.

You can easily combine these options with our beverage catering service to create a full, satisfying meal that goes far beyond burgers alone.
