50 Best Caterers near Cicero

“Tried the express menu last weekend for the first time and was NOT disappointed. Vegan birria tacos (made with perfectly seasoned mushrooms) were excellent, though I have to admit the consomé wasn't, unfortunately. But the vegan soul plate was all good. The fried hearts of palm were tasty and crunchy, the mac and cheese was creamy and not too heavy, the sweet potatoes were Thanksgiving-y, and the greens did their job. And the hibiscus and ginger tea I ordered was delicious! I just wish it was less than a 40-minute drive for me, but what can you do?“

“Very tasty, very good!“

“This is one of my favorite vegan Mexican restaurants. Chef Patricia is so sweet. I almost always get the Carne Asada burrito but I’ve loved everything I have tried. The nachos & tacso are so good too. The peanut butter cookies are probably the best I’ve ever had. I love the chocolate mini Bundt cake.“

“I ordered the Rice Bowl with Lamb Chops, it was SO Delicious!!!! Flavored perfectly and enough to share. I'm recommending you stop by, support Burp!!!“

“Stopped in here for lunch for the first time and let me tell you I was blown away! Great prices great food! Definitely going to be the spot from now on!!“

“Most amazing and delicious tacos I have ever had. Women who own are so nice. I highly recommend.“

“We chose to host our wedding reception in my parents’ backyard, and The Food Truck Hub made it absolutely unforgettable! Jamie and Elena were incredible — professional, responsive, and so easy to work with. They guided us through every step, ensuring the celebration was exactly what we envisioned. Their expertise and attention to detail took all the stress out of planning. I can’t recommend The Food Truck Hub highly enough for anyone looking to create an amazing, personalized event!“

“Hearty Boys catered our wedding last month, and we couldn't have been happier with the experience. So many guests raved about the food, and after our excellent tastings last year, dinner at our sweetheart table felt like returning to a beloved restaurant for a favorite meal. The only thing better than the food was working with Alyson and the whole staff—they were such kind people, happy to make sure our wedding went exactly how we dreamed, and celebrating with them on our big day was a truly special experience. We couldn't recommend Hearty Boys more!“

“These folks were at the Lincoln Square farmer’s market yesterday, and their fare was so enticing my dog stole bread right off of their table. I had one of their onion bagels - delicious and competes easily with Russ & Daughters or H&H bagel in NYC. I will be back, but Olive will have to stay home next time. Photo of the culprit attached below.“

“I had the pleasure of experiencing Catering Out The Box after winning their service as an auction item at the Chicago Scholars Gala last fall and let me just say… this was one of the best auction wins I’ve actually used. From the start, working with the owners was seamless. We collaborated to create a progressive menu that felt completely tailored to our evening. What I appreciated most was the flexibility. There were plenty of options to choose from, and they were open to curating beyond the standard menu to bring our vision to life. The execution was next level. Their team arrived fully prepared with everything needed. Setup, prep work, bar service, cocktails, table presentation, and serving utensils… all handled. Truly a turnkey experience. All we had to provide was the alcohol and kitchen space. A special shoutout to Sergio, our server, and Chef Berta. The food was fresh, light, and the ingredients were perfectly balanced. And I have to say… having our own branzino each was such a standout detail. Anthony, the owner, personally checked in at both the beginning and end of the evening to ensure everything from setup to breakdown was flawless. The kitchen was left spotless, which says a lot about their professionalism and attention to detail. Highly recommend. We will absolutely be using them again. What a beautiful way to kick off our 3-year anniversary 🥂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“This has quickly become my new favorite lunch spot in the city! Sam, the owner, is constantly creating and you can see his passion in this! The bagels, cream cheese, challah, sandwiches, crumb cake, I can go on and on how good this stuff is. He also takes the time to connect with customers which makes the experience even more special. I am so happy I have a new favorite lunch spot to go to!“

“After trying Hortiport for a couple of weeks I can say that, compared to the other grocery delivery services, Hortiport eliminates the untrained ‘middle man’. This guarantees your box of goodness will be the freshest and most eye-pleasing, as if you hand selected them yourself! I also appreciated the well curated selection of foodie items from local vendors. (One of whom, coincidentally, is based just 2 blocks from my home!) Helping local farmers and small producers is a ‘feel good’ for me and don’t we all need more of that these days?!“

“After having an amazing experience with Amazing Edibles for my sister’s wedding a few years ago, I knew I wanted to work with them for my own wedding—and they did not disappoint! Sarah Ann, Remedy, and Andrea were absolutely incredible to work with. From the very start, they were so attentive, answering all of our questions and providing the highest level of customer service. Their professionalism and care made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. On the wedding day, the entire staff was on top of everything. They were professional, kind, and ensured everything ran seamlessly. And the food—wow! Our guests are still talking about how delicious it was. Every dish was beautifully presented and absolutely mouthwatering. Thank you so much to the entire team at Amazing Edibles for making our wedding unforgettable. We couldn’t recommend them more highly!“

“They have great attention to all the guest. They pay close attention to all they serve. I recommend them.“

“I've had many meals pizza,egg rolls shrimp ect. All fantastic, it just that thiers nobody to greet you is the only issue..
Just an idea maybe someone should come out and see if it customers every 10-15 minutes coming to get food...“

“Was driving past and saw a Jamaican flag in the window so I turned around. Thank God I did the food is so good ya'll I had the lamb, spinach and mashed potatoes. I'm still outside the restaurant in my car posting this cause the food is gone already!! An amazing Shout out to the owner miss tanya and her staff a wealth of knowledge a true blessing. Also thank you to Mario from Goebbarts farms for serenading me with live music while I waited!!“

“Excelente servicio, muy rica comida. Los que me conocen saben que yo no recomiendo si no es bueno! 100 /💯 👌🏻“

“We just hosted our 50th high school reunion the other evening John and his staff could not have been more accommodating to us. They cheerfully answered every question, made certain everything was perfect and served us delicious food. I honestly think this place is an absolute gem. If the occasion arises I will definitely be using it again thank you thank you thank you Joyce Zelazik“

“These are fantastic! I'm always so excited when they're at a market I'm near. I buy extra as they heat up very well so don't hesitate to buy more. The pastry is perfect, the fillings divine.“

“If I could give more stars, I would. Over the last couple years I have used many food delivery services, Hello Fresh, Freshly, Cook Unity, and now Wholsesome 360. The difference, QUALITY!!! Fresh ingredients, no fillers, high quality oils and fats, nice portions. Not that the other services are bad, but I compare them to frozen entrees at the grocery store, but taste a bit better. My Wholesome 360 entrees were restaurant quality, but with farm to table fresh ingredients-I could literally taste each of the food elements. If you are considering a food delivery service, I recommend paying the extra dollar per meal to get local fresh meals that are good for you, that heal you.“

“If I could give Tri-Star Catering more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. They provided catering for our two-day conference in Chicago, and from start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Philip, my main point of contact, set the tone early with an incredibly thoughtful and detailed intake process. It felt less like a transaction and more like a true partnership. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and then elevated it beyond my expectations. The range of menu options was honestly mind-blowing. We had a pretty diverse group with a lot of dietary needs, and somehow everyone was happy—which is not easy. No one felt like an afterthought. The attention to detail was impeccable. From beautifully designed menu cards to a perfectly executed cocktail station at dinner, every element was curated with care. Nothing was overlooked. And I have to highlight Gabe—because WOW. Having him onsite was a game changer. He stayed on top of everything: refilling food and drinks, maintaining the space, and making sure guests were taken care of without ever being intrusive. Now let’s talk about the food. I love food—and I can be a tough critic—and they gave me absolutely nothing to complain about. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The team was punctual, professional, and engaging. Setup and breakdown were seamless, and their communication throughout the entire process was consistent and clear. My only “complaint”? I wish they were based closer to me so I could hire them for everything. If you’re looking for a caterer in Chicago, stop searching. This is your company. Philip and his team take real pride in their work—and it shows in every detail.“

“First time I went was tonight and it was magnifico. Excellent service not too busy and cozy. Great food. I will definitely get back and have another meal there really recommended.“

“I ordered a St Patty’s day lunch for my office. I have experienced J and L cuisine many times, including my Son and Daughter in Laws rehearsal dinner. Their menu’s are so unique and can be personalized to every occasion. Our Irish lunch today drew rave reviews from my team. If you don’t know J and L you need to. Premiere catering company in Chicago 🍀“

“Thank you for a fabulous event. Your staff is amazing and so professional. I love that they paid attention to the smallest of details like sweeping the sidewalks in front of the entrance to making sure the restrooms were in tiptop shape. Everyone was helpful, friendly, and willing to jump in wherever needed. The food was also delicious.“

“Blue Plate catered our wedding and did an EXCEPTIONAL job. People cannot stop talking about the food at our wedding. It was out of this world! We worked directly with Alexis Kniaz who is absolutely tremendous and so gifted at what she does. We look forward to working with Alexis and the team at Blue Plate for future events!“

“Lesley R. and Mary K. of LM Catering & Events were critical in making our wedding the perfect day. From the very first meeting at the venue tour, we knew we were in good hands. They were flexible and took our concerns and requests seriously. Lesley and Mary worked seamlessly with our day-of planner and vendors. On the day of our wedding, the LM Staff was professional and courteous. Not to mention the food was incredible!“

“Muy buena la comida y muy amable el señor Everardo 💯 recomendado“

“From the moment we stepped into this incredible Arab restaurant, we were welcomed with the kind of warmth and hospitality that made us feel like family. The atmosphere was inviting and beautifully decorated, but it was the service—and especially the owner—that truly made this experience unforgettable. The food was absolutely phenomenal. What truly set this restaurant apart, though, was the hospitality. The owner personally came over to greet us and made sure my entire family was comfortable and well taken care of. It’s rare to find someone who treats guests with such heartfelt attention. This was a memorable experience. I can’t recommend this place enough if you’re looking for not just incredible food, but also to be treated with the kind of warmth and generosity that leaves a lasting impression. We will absolutely be returning“

“Yes, of course I recommend this catering company. The food that I wouldn't touch anywhere else smells so good that I have to taste for myself! When I do it doesn't disappoint!“

“I had her food when she was on 87th East of Ashland and it was Good then. This past Sunday I ate it again for Soul Food Sundays and it was as even Better. I had the Perch Fish with Red beans and Rice and Mac and Cheese and My Brother had the Fried Lamb Chops with yams and Red beans and Rice. 💯 Everything thing was Good. Thank you Shawanda“

“If you ever get invited to an event at The Mayfield on Archer in Chicago, do yourself a favor and go. Immediately.

We were there for a huge social club banquet, and the place was absolutely buzzing. The room was packed, the energy was high, the bartenders were clearly having a great time behind the bar, and the Shirley Temples were flowing like someone accidentally leaned on the soda gun for three straight hours.

Now before I even get into our night, I need to acknowledge another reviewer who once said this place is “2 Legit 2 Quit.”

After spending the evening there, I can confirm that statement is scientifically accurate. Atmosphere? Legit. Staff? Legit. Food? Legit. Hallways? Surprisingly legit. Carpets? Still legit. Bathrooms? Also holding strong in the legit department. Whoever wrote that review clearly did a full building inspection tour, and honestly I respect the thoroughness.

But the real MVP of the night was Kevin John, our table server.

Kevin John might be the quietest hardest-working server in the Midwest. No big announcements, no dramatic entrances — just pure efficiency. The man worked like a hospitality ninja.

Every time we looked down, more food plates had magically appeared on the table. No one asked. No one waved him down. Kevin John had already taken care of it. Plates cleared, new plates delivered, everything running like a perfectly organized banquet machine.

At one point we all realized something incredible: we had never once needed to ask for anything all night. Kevin John had already handled it before the thought even finished forming in our heads.

The man wasn’t just serving the table — he was quietly running a one-man food distribution operation while making it look effortless.

Between the fun crowd, the lively bartenders, the endless Shirley Temples, the legit carpets apparently approved by previous reviewers, and Kevin John making sure our table stayed well fed all night long, the entire event was fantastic.

If you’re hosting a banquet, party, or celebration, The Mayfield absolutely knows how to do it right.

And if you’re lucky enough to have Kevin John working your table, just sit back and enjoy the night — because that guy is making sure everything runs perfectly without ever needing the spotlight.

And to the reviewer who confirmed the hallways and carpets were legit… you were absolutely correct. 2 legit. Still not quitting.“

“Awesome food and services. Talented team, highly recommended!“

“The best catering company I have worked with, I use them for every event or client luncheon. They are amazing from the food to the service you cannot get better than La Vida!“

“These are the best empanadas I’ve ever eaten in my life. The owners are so kind & hardworking & make fresh every morning! My favorites are the beef, spinach, chicken, and caprese. Sometimes they have special, limited flavors too. The chimichurri & habanero sauce are delicious! Homemade desserts & plenty of drink options. 10/10“

“It’s about time Chicago gets solid West African cuisine. Dozzy didn’t disappoint. Had the Designer Jollof Rice Bowl and it was delicious. I combined it with a couple orders of the shrimp suya sticks which put it over the top. Now, I loved the jollof, but that’s to be expected. What wasn’t expected was the shrimp. I can honestly say it was some of the best I’ve ever had. The herbs were perfect and it was grilled just the way I like it. I’ve known Dozzy for a long time and I’m so happy he’s sharing his gift to the world. Y’all get some.“

“spicy food, good service and reasonable prices“

“Eat Fine is a special place. Not only is their menu extensive and their food incredible, they really care about their community, the service is amazing and they always do whatever they can to help you out. But most importantly, their food is top notch. There isn't anywhere I know of that makes such delicious, fresh tasting Thai food, and I'm so lucky to have it in my neighborhood. You really owe it to yourself to visit.“

“Once again TriCafe does not disappoint. Their food is amazing, all of it from the appetizers to the desserts. American Airlines Cargo have used them everytime for our Cargo Cup celebrations. Thank you again Bob and team for making our celebrations a huge success!“

“I hosted a Thai cooking class with a dozen of my clients. Naveen was a tremendous host and teacher. The group had a blast. I'd encourage you to take part in one of his classes or schedule a fantastic custom event for your friends, colleagues or clients. Great team-building event!“

“We hired Big Joe's for our farm wedding and the food and professionalism was incredible! Joe was easy to work with and provided great service before, during, and after the event. Our guests have been raving about the food and we can't wait to host another large event so that we can work with Big Joe's again!“

“Consistent reliable and excellent for weddings, funerals, on site BBQ’s (so fun) and I’m shocked to see the 1 star reviews on here….must be a jealous competitor because Tad and his team have more than 24 yrs experience catering so many different kinds of events. Excellent service and quality of food.“

“When you need an good location,great food worth the cost,and down home atmosphere. You have our word that the customers come first... Be ready to check out an amazing yet simple place The five stars represent the direction the team [staff] is going in“

“Chef Andrew did an absolutely great job cooking for our surprise birthday party at our home. Very easy to work with, great recommendations, and great food. Look forward to using you again at some point! Thanks!“

“Portion size is great! And the quality of the food is soooooo good. The meat is seasoned well and the texture of the veggies is good too! Portion is worth the price! I would definitely get it again. Or better yet, hire lifebowls for my next event.“

“Got to meet Peter at a wedding last night! Such a great idea. They must have made about 500 boba drinks in 3 hours. They were in and out quick, no mess, smiling... I'll definitely be by the shop to check it out!“
