Caterers near Forest Park

“I had a great experience at Bizzy Bees. I had been meaning to stop by, as it’s not far from my house. The restaurant is clean and spacious, the server was very attentive and the reasonably priced food was good. I’ll definitely be coming back.“

“Best sandwiches and coffee on the strip! A great lounge space to chill and chat or work, free WiFi, great location & awesome staff.“

“Very tasty, very good!“

“Definitely a 10/10! Everything was so good and fresh!!“

“Great local place to go. If out of town come out and check it out. order ahead of time is great. Food and specials, salads great!“

“We had the pleasure of working with Hearty Boys Catering for a vendor event this past weekend, and they truly exceeded all expectations! Every dish was absolutely delicious and bursting with flavor, leaving us all raving about the food. The presentation was stunning – it’s clear they take pride in their craft.

The service was equally impressive. The team was friendly, fun, and professional, creating a wonderful atmosphere throughout the event. They went above and beyond, collaborating seamlessly with other vendors to ensure everything ran smoothly and was a resounding success.

If you're looking for a catering company that delivers exceptional food, impeccable service, and an all-around amazing experience, I can’t recommend Hearty Boys Catering enough. They’re a joy to work with and will make any event unforgettable!“

“We used them for our 50th wedding anniversary. The food was WONDERFUL, the service was excellent. This was for 70 people and we would highly recommend them for any event!“

“Zeitlin’s is amazing!!! The staff is always friendly and kind, and the food is incredible. I’ve had both the bagels and the challah French toast sticks / bread pudding and both are delicious. One of the staff members recommended I try the French toast bread pudding cold and I would highly recommend!“

“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?!“

“the service was awesome, the family style food service left a little to be desired. I have been to this place several times, the food is always hit or miss. if they really focus on the quality of the food and not just getting the food out to the tables, the venue would be unmatched in the area. the roast beef was dry and over cooked and so was the chicken. thank God for the mashed potatoes and vegetables. I was wondering if the food was leftovers from a previous event (entrees)“

“Great venue for large or small gatherings with amazing staff! La comida estuvo deliciosa y los trabajadores muy atentos con los invitados! Gracias Palace Regency Berwyn! 🥳“

“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.“

“Catering Out The Box and Chef/ Owner Anthony catered my Mother’s 70th birthday party. Anthony did a custom menu to fit the Kentucky Derby theme! The food was absolutely delicious and the set up made everything so easy! Thank you COTB!“

“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“

“Great food as always! We have used them for St Patrick’s Day for years and also used them for holidays due shutdown.“

“Great place to invest in your health & a great tasting meal. I’m a regular now.“

“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.“

“😘Love the food here...“

“The food, atmosphere, and service were all exceptional! Everything, down to the drink names, perfectly complemented the ambiance. This is an absolutely beautiful place to enjoy dinner and great food. The shawarma rolls, pork chops, and Moroccan tagine were all outstanding. If you enjoy sweet and refreshing cocktails, I highly recommend the 'Gotta Have Faith.' Overall, I would definitely return to try more dishes and highly recommend visiting this unique spot. It’s truly a must-visit!“

“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.“

“We cannot recommend Jewell enough! From start to finish, they were absolutely incredible to work with. The food was nothing short of phenomenal—our guests are still raving about how delicious and beautifully presented everything was. Every dish was crafted to perfection, and they truly made our event unforgettable with their culinary expertise.

Beyond the amazing food, their communication was excellent. Jennifer was responsive, patient with all our questions, and proactive in ensuring every detail was addressed. Their professionalism and organization made the entire process stress-free, and we knew we were in the best hands.

On the day of the wedding, everything ran seamlessly. The team was punctual, attentive, and handled every detail with such care. It’s clear they take immense pride in their work, and it shows in every aspect.

If you’re looking for a caterer who will exceed your expectations on every level, look no further than Jewell Catering. We couldn’t be happier and are so grateful for their incredible service!“

“Well it is 40 years coming up that We had our wedding reception at the Mayfield... SOOO happy it is still there and doing so great... Such great memories of Fun GREAT Food...great dance floor.... and beautifully decorated tables. Dancing to the Debinaires ... WE will always remember you Mayfield.....“

“We are so thrilled that we chose to go with Food for Thought for our August wedding! We got married at the Chicago Cultural Center, and while the venue has a number of preferred caterers, FFT was the one on that list that stood out to us. From the first phone call to the final calls and emails, they were so easy to communicate and plan with. Many of our guests said that this was the best food they've had at a wedding, and we agree we them! The hors d'oeuvres, salads, entrees, and custom drinks were all so delicious; everything turned out perfectly.
I also want to give a HUGE shoutout to Kacilynn, who was the one responsible for planning, organizing, and executing everything for us. When we met her for the tasting, she happily answered all of our questions and was just so fun to talk and work with. I had countless questions and updates throughout the planning process, especially in the final weeks, and she was responsive to everything.
One special thing she helped with was the champagne flutes; I had thrifted, cleaned, and packed over 100 champagne flutes for guests to use and take home, and I had been nervous this would be a burden to them to deal with, but she assured me that it could be done. She took the time to help me decide on a display option for them, and her team cleaned them before and after the event and packed away any leftover flutes. Her attention to detail and her ability to pull everything together seamlessly is truly unmatched.
We are beyond grateful to Kacilynn, her team, and everyone else at Food for Thought for making the food and drinks a true highlight of our wedding!“

“My husband and I got married this summer and had the pleasure of having BDP cater our wedding at Harold Washington Library. As most people know, planning a wedding can be stressful :). I don't think I would have survived without the help of Jasmine, Chelsey and the wonderful BDP team throughout the process. BDP goes above and beyond expectations for a wedding caterer. Their attention to the details and dedication to quality is what sets them apart from others. There is no one like them in the biz.

From our thoughtful tasting that felt like a private dinner, to our final walk through, I will never run out of good things to say about BDP. I recommend them to every couple I know getting married. The food is DELICIOUS. We had guests coming up to us left and right saying “Who catered your wedding? The food tastes like we’re eating at a nice restaurant, nowhere near ‘typical’ wedding food we usually have!”

I can’t wait to use BDP through more milestones in life. From weddings to urban farm dinners to seasonal events, I’m a lifelong fan and advocate.

Love you BDP team!

“Amazing food and service! Anytime I have a party, I order from here.“

“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!“

“As an event producer for a large organization, I am often looking for businesses that are local and I especially love to focus on businesses that are owned and operated by historically-excluded people groups. Two Sisters is woman- and black-owned and more than that, Chef Veah is a dream to work with! Not only putting together a delicious menu which had all my guests asking who the caterer was, but also helping make the set up just right alongside me. Veah enhanced our event in many ways and I am looking forward to working with them again! (p.s. no matter what you do, get the pound cake - trust me! Next time I'll order an extra whole cake just for me... no joke...)“

“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.“

“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!“

“I was craving something small for lunch, so I thought of getting empanadas. Unsure where to go, I came across this place on Google. I drove over and went inside, where a kind man greeted me. I ordered two chicken empanadas and noticed they also sold alfajores, so I got one of those too. My coworkers were impressed when they saw me eating, especially since the empanadas came with chimichurri sauce. They were so good! Def recommend.“

“Excellent service & delicious food!! We had a wonderful Thanksgiving lunch today at Toyoda America's! Thank you Schaul's!“

“I attended a graduation party and Green Spoon’s display, quality, and taste of their food was EXCELLENT! A delightful experience for everyone I spoke to who attended. Highly Recommend“

“The GUMBO was top notch. Way to go. Great tasting food with really generous proportions.“

“just FANTASTIC ... Perfectly seasoned ... super moist Masa ... don't miss this incredible meal ... call ahead and they will hook you up ! !“

“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 have used La Viva for years and they have always done an outstanding job. The food is fantastic, they are always on time, they give so much food, and Tony is the kindest most wonderful person to work with. They make it seamless and easy!I could not recommend LA VIVA more!! 10 ⭐️’s!!!“

“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. 👏🏼“

“Amazing food and service!!!! Also call ahead for their sushi menu which is delicious ❤️❤️❤️“

“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“

“My 4-year old wanted a last minute bday party so I needed food for 40 with less than a weeks heads up. We loved Sabroso last year and hoped to reorder. I was having issues with the app/website and used the chat. Moe was so quick to respond and offered to call me when we were both able to walk through the order together. Easy to order, quick confirmation, and everthing was smooth sailing! (Food was fabulous and even delivered early day of party!) Repeat customer!“

“I had my wedding and reception here in 2021. I also had a bday party in 2022. Both events were excellent. Great food Great service. Overall great experience!!!“

“Very professional and the food is amazing“

“Their food is always amazing. The customer service, and the presentation is truly even better.“

“This is one of Elmhurst's best kept secrets.Next to the Normandy room, inside the postIs the bar/ restaurant ~Although limited by lunch hours of 11-2The blue ? plate special is always changing & a great value.Multiple pub grub sandwiches adourn the menu, with daily soups and sandwiches.Portions are large, not too fancy and with homecooked flair (taste).The Normandy room offers weekly entertainment of a varietyPrices are below standard (a good value) in my opinion.Service was excellent !“

“Inspired Catering and Events catered our wedding at the Columbus Park Refectory a couple of weeks ago and we’re still incredibly blown away by Liz and her team. From the start, Liz stood out as incredibly receptive and accommodating. This continued throughout the process and culminated in their incredible service on our big day. We truly could not have pulled off our wedding day without her expertise and dedicated work ethic— even more so when we pushed up our wedding by almost a year. Thanks to Liz and her incredible staff, we had the day we had always imagined, put together in two months. We were even able to salvage our outdoor ceremony after an unseasonable cold snap, thanks to an eleventh hour heater acquisition. Our intimate group thoroughly enjoyed their meals and everyone was well taken care of, including two vegans in a crowd of meat-lovers. Inspired’s quinoa enchiladas will forever change how my husband and I see quinoa— it was that good. However, we’re still dreaming about the short rib and potato au gratin we had on our wedding night. That alone should be all the convincing you need to hire them for your next event. Truly, none of us have never been to a wedding where we loved the food so, so much. From two families who love food, thank you.“

“My husband and I can't say enough good things about Marie's Catering. From the very beginning, Amanda was very helpful in answering our questions, being responsive, and working with us to create a menu that we wanted. We were astonished by how much food was provided at our tasting, all super yummy, and so we eagerly booked them for our reception. We opted for family style so each guest could enjoy all the dishes, and boy are we glad we did! We had DOZENS of guests come up to us that night, and since, RAVING about every dish. Everything being so delicious and cooked perfectly was even more impressive when you consider they served over 100 people. The servers were great and very attentive and even boxed up my husband and my leftovers, which was such a treat we were not expecting. I honestly don't think ​you could find better quality food, bar package, and service for the price. Highly recommend!“

“Big Joe has catered 2 events at St Laurence high school for our football program! The food has been amazing! The pork and brisket are absolutely perfect. And I could not get enough of the smashed potatoes! I can’t wait for the next event! Thanks for a great meal!!“
