50 Best Caterers near Maywood

“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“

“I gave five stars because I absolutely love they turkey tips I stumbled upon this location last month and I have been recommending my customers to go there but today was a very bad experience for me and I probably won’t be returning because the lady at the counter today was very very very rude to me and I truly don’t appreciate that. This is my first time seeing her there it’s usually a nice gentleman man that works there I asked her may I have a bag please for my food she turned around and looked at me with disgust and said “I’m going to put it in a bag “then took the bag and threw it on the counter at me I’m so glad that I’m more in to my church now because she almost took me there but the devil is a lie. So sad because I actually love their turkey tips. I don’t understand why people work at an establishment that they don’t like or don’t like being there because to me customer service is everything especially when I spending my hard earned money.“

“Very tasty, very good!“

“We utilized Tasty Catering for our daughters first birthday party, and highly recommend them. From the very beginning they were responsive, collaborative and helpful answering any questions, and helped us build the perfect menu. Delivery and setup went perfectly and was no hassle for us. I look forward to using them again! And the food was a hit!“

“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.“

“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?“

“If you are looking for a caterer for your wedding or event BOOK THEM!! The food was delicioussss! We received so many compliments from guests saying it was the best food they have ever had at a wedding. Meghann was extremely helpful & accommodating during the planning process. Anything I needed she made sure it was taken care of. Our day of coordinator Luis was awesome as well as all of the staff there. Everyone was super friendly and always on top of everything. Immediately after the ceremony was over we had a drink in hand and apps in our bridal suite for us. We were blown away by the food and everything from start to finish. We hope to have an event in the future to use them and have their delicious food again!“

“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!!“

“My wife and I had a fantastic experience at Zeitlin’s Delicatessen. We stopped in for breakfast and enjoyed the challah French toast and the grilled cheese sandwich, both of which were outstanding.

What truly made the visit special, though, was the hospitality. Hal took the time to sit with us, chat, and make us feel genuinely welcome. It’s rare to find an owner who is so invested in creating a warm, personal experience for every guest. You can tell that Zeitlin’s isn’t just a restaurant, it’s a place built around community, great food, and authentic connections.

If you’re looking for an incredible deli experience with amazing food and even better people, Zeitlin’s is a must-visit. We’ll absolutely be back.“

“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!“

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

“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 🥂 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Excellent food and ambiance, The brick chicken is my favorite. Our friends who have lived throughout the country said the pork chop is the best they ever had“

“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!!“

“Very professional and the food is amazing“

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

“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.“

“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“

“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“

“Dziękujemy za wspaniałą zabawe sylwestrową.Polecam i do zobaczenia na następnych imrezach“

“We had a party with 75 ppl. catering was delivered on time, hot, fresh, and packaged expertly. Everyone raved about the food! Fried Chicken, meatballs, and the jello were the favs. thank you!“

“We used SBR for our wedding, and could not be happier with choosing them to cater our event. From the beginning, Jacob and Lauren were incredible to work with, and answered all my questions throughout the entire year. We got so many compliments about the food through the whole night, and even texts about it afterward (especially about how delicious the Mac n' cheese was!). The whole team was so nice to me and all my guests that night, food was delicious, and I couldn't recommend their team enough!“

“So, my Nana Marshbank had been bring us here over the years. However yesterday we attended her repast luncheon because she wanted us all together once she went on the be with Lord. Great location and service! Food was good with applied seasoning but great experience overall.“

“Catering is such a huge part of your wedding, and it's the part that seemed so overwhelming and intimidating to me. Once we received the list of our preferred vendors and began reaching out to them, Sue from Butter and Vine immediately stood out to us. She was warm, friendly, informative, and hilarious. She was flexible and worked with us through our COVID-induced postponement and changes up until the day before our wedding (seriously!). And the best part--the food was INCREDIBLE. The meals were delicious, creative, accessible, fresh, and plentiful. Appetizers were unique and so tasty--our guests were very fond of the mini Patron bottles of margaritas! Months after our wedding, we still receive compliments that Butter and Vine provided the "best wedding food ever" and "didn't even taste like 'wedding food!'" We are so happy we worked with Sue and her team at Butter and Vine and highly recommend them!“

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

“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. 👏🏼“

“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 took one bite of the coconut rice and was instantly transported to another dimension. The bitterleaf soup, efo riro, and puff puff were on point.
Talk about professionalism, Onielbites is an embodiment. The food is delicious, the catering service even more so. I'd do business again with Onielbites in a heartbeat!“

“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!“

“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.“

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

“I just had a dish delivered to me to try out. Wow! This is amazing! Delivered to my home. The staff is so friendly and so informative. Delicious healthy choice Veggie Almondine was the best I have ever had. So convenient too. I can’t wait to try their other dishes. New Year, New Resolutions, healthy choices. Thank you Parkside Meal Prep!!!“

“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 !“

“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!“

“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!“

“The food is outstanding!!“

“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.“

“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!!!“

“We had an incredible experience with Food for Thought. From menu planning to the food tasting to the logistics on the actual wedding day, the Food for Thought team executed everything flawlessly. We’re so grateful to Annie and Lucas, who were an absolute pleasure to work with. They are extremely detailed oriented and make it easy to trust that we were in good hands. I never once felt like they didn’t have our best interest in mind. It was also important to me that my Vietnamese heritage was reflected in the menu and they came up with creative and cost effective options that wow’d our guests. We highly recommend Food for Thought to anyone who needs a professional, reliable, and talented team of creatives.“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“It's small and quiet but so cute inside. We were here during some prime Saturday breakfast time with only two other people.

The food is fantastic. We'll be back to try more things for sure!

The cecina was tender and well seasoned, the chorizo was properly rendered, the black beans on the side were amazing!

I'm pretty sure the tortillas, both corn and flour, were homemade as well.

Prices are great, food is excellent, you have got to check this place out.“

“Fabulous food, presentation and service!“

“The D’Absolute team made my Son’s wedding simply awesome! Special thanks to Chris for his creativity, positive vibe and “we can make this amazing” approach. The food was beyond amazing - we had a Louisiana themed menu. He truly made the entire experience amazing! So happy!“

“Excellent tacos and burritos here, with proteins including steak, chicken, beef, al pastor, lengua, tripa, carnitas, and cabeza. Also the vegetarian burrito is quite good. 5 stars!“

“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!“

“From the moment we booked Ashton Place, we knew we were in great hands. Puneet, the General Manager, was an absolute pleasure to work with throughout the entire planning process. He was incredibly responsive, easy to communicate with, and truly wanted to bring our vision to life.

We had multiple meetings/email exchanges leading up to the wedding to make sure every detail was exactly how we envisioned it. As wedding planning goes, our timeline changed several times, and the Ashton Place team was always flexible, accommodating, and willing to work with us. That level of customer service made such a difference and gave us so much peace of mind.

The venue itself is absolutely stunning. The draping, lighting, beautiful stage, and Chiavari chairs created such an elegant atmosphere for our ceremony. We hosted both our ceremony and appetizer hour there, and the space accommodated all 300 of our guests comfortably while still feeling beautiful and welcoming.

The food was AMAZING! We received so many compliments from our guests about how delicious everything was during appetizer hour. The servers were also wonderful, friendly, attentive, and professional throughout the event.

If you’re looking for a venue with a beautiful space, incredible food, and a team that truly cares about making your vision come to life, I highly recommend Ashton Place. Thank you to Puneet and the entire staff for helping make our wedding day so special!“
