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.“

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

“Hearty Boys took on a challenge and Chef Dan executed it so well. We hired them for our Arab American Wedding, and we wanted Middle Eastern inspired dishes and it is known that our cuisine isn't easy to make (even other Arab restaurants don't execute dishes well) and I can confidently say that Chef Dan & Angie did an AMAZING job. Arabs are big on food, and every single guest couldn't believe that we hired an American-based caterer for our wedding and how amazing the food was. Chef Dan & Angie, thank you so much for working with us and even with little hiccups, you both executed our vision so well. It was one of the most talked about things from our wedding on how amazing the food was. Thank you Chef Dan, Angie, and Hearty Boys!“

“The shawarma was absolutely delicious! The meat was perfectly seasoned, tender, juicy, and packed with flavor. The team was also super friendly and incredibly fast, got our food in no time even though they were busy. Great food and great service.“

“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“

“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 🥂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Phenomenal food, that’s arguably the best in the north shore.“

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

“spicy food, good service and reasonable prices“

“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?!“

“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!!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Gpay didn't work and I had no physical card. After trying the Gpay several times, I gave up. The manager asked for the drink I was drinking back, lol. I got in the car, saw my wallet in the seat and decided not to go back in. I drove out of my way to try this food, but this experience with being asked for the drink back was shocking. #theapartmentlady“

“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!“

“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!“

“We have had wonderful experiences here. We have had delivery and they catered a party for us. We had a lox platter, pasta salad and an assorted sandwich tray. I typically do not eat lox anywhere other than buying from the fish monger but their nova lox is fantastic. I’ve had it three times now and it’s been excellent every time. They have fantastic corned beef and turkey.“

“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“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Black Fodder Coffee was amazing! They worked on my book signing at Row24 Events and the guests raved about the friendly service as well as the amazing tea and coffee they brought! I would highly recommend them for your next event! Therese Slusher“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“We worked with the Boka Catering team to bring our wedding to life this past May 2026. We held the event at The Wellsley, who partners closely with Boka, and we could not have been more pleased with the experience. From the first tour to the menu tasting to the final night, the Boka and Wellsley teams went above and beyond to make our wedding magical. The attention to detail, professionalism, and high quality was notable and our guests commented on how good the food was and how helpful the staff was. Could not recommend working with Boka for your catering needs enough. Special shoutout to Liz for being so helpful as we coordinated and planned.“

“I thank you Kasia pierogi for your donation today to our benefit Stay with Ukraine. We sold all pierogies, and people loved them. My family always buys your pierogi, and we wish you have your business to blossom.“

“The best tacos al pastor are at this place. The staff is incredibly friendly, and the prices are unbeatable. You must try their tacos!“

“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“

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

“Jewell was fantastic to work with. The food and people we worked with were excellent. We booked before tasting the food as they were the exclusive caterer for our venue so we were a bit nervous but we can’t imagine a better experience than we had. Everyone was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable. Our guests raved about both the food and the service staff. The servers and bartenders were incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional. We would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding or other event.“

“Solid food every time! Had great risotto last night, their pastas are always good & great cocktails. Take home family meals are delicious and a lot of food for the money. Recommend!“

“We had a great experience working with Biagio for our daughter’s quinceañera. Specially with Blanca she is dedicated, honest and always willing to go the extra mile for us. The appetizers, diner, deserts, gelato cart, hot dog cart, delicious! We had all great reviews from our guests. We were able to have an outside organizer decorate the hall for us and they worked very well together which made it possible for us to relax and enjoy the process. All of the vendors were able to communicate effectively with Blanca which helped to make the night very special for our daughter. Unforgettable memories were made that night and we have nothing but gratitude with Blanca and her team at the Biagio. 👏🏼“

“Had a great dining experience. The food is excellent at a good price , the staff are friendly, efficient and helpful. Be sure to eat here when you’re in Chicago!“

“Very nice comfortable place“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“My husband and I planned our wedding at Allegra and they truly went above and beyond! Everything was set up to perfection and food was excellent! Tony, Monica, and the rest of the staff were extremely accommodating and made sure everything went as planned! We couldn’t have asked for a better reception venue!“

“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 🍀“

“best elote soup ever. needs more vegetarian options tho it’s what’s been having us come less lately and we miss the old layout :( and vegan meat options are needed . tacombi has some good options also if you’re lookin .“

“My partner and I ordered our steaks medium well, but they came out well done. We brought it to our server, Melinda, who quickly made it right. Manager RC personally came over and ensured the replacement steak was cooked perfectly.

Excellent customer service from both Melinda and RC. They turned a mistake into a great experience. We'll definitely be back. 10/10! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐“
