50 Best Caterers near Oak Park

“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!“

“Working with Cucina Paradiso and Twomaytoz Catering for our 50th wedding anniversary was an absolute joy. From clear pricing and quick responses to their professionalism and warm service, everything was handled with such care that we were able to relax and truly enjoy our special day.

The staff were both attentive and easygoing, helping with set-up and managing every detail so the evening flowed beautifully. Cocktail hour and dinner were perfectly timed, and our guests are still raving about the hors d’oeuvres, the elegant presentation, and how delicious the food was.

After 50 years together, this milestone celebration was unforgettable, thanks in large part to Cucina Paradiso and Twomaytoz Catering. We could not recommend them more highly.“

“On Sundays, I love eating there after the church service when enjoyed eating different salads, pizzas and pastas..... especially drinking one of canned beers. I'm totally satisfied with one of Billy Bricks locations. Today, I had Baked Mostaccioli pasta and a can of Chicago Common beer.“

“Very tasty, very good!“

“Small business bringing vegan food options to the southwest side! The food is great, and a great place to give vegan food a try if you haven't before!“

“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?“

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

“Hats off to Michelle and her entire group for the beautiful rehearsal dinner she helped me put together a few weeks ago. Besides her precise attention to detail, she put together the absolute best team to serve our guests.“

“Best bagels in the city. Sam makes them from scratch! The Sammy pesto is one of my favs.the deli itself is so cozy and vibrant. Such a cute place to sit and relax over a bagel and coffee. Every detail has been thought out including having nice changing pads for families!! Much appreciated. Highly recommend.“

“I am a wedding planner and have worked with Hearty Boys several times. When it was my turn to get married, I knew they were my top choice caterer! I NEEDED to have their pork belly skewer at my wedding. Matter of fact, I received an incredible amount of compliments about the food itself but in particular, the pork belly, which was so fun to share my love of it with my guests. Hearty Boys has an incredible reputation for their level of customer service, attention to detail and overall friendly staff. I absolutely love working with them and was honored that they were part of my day. I will shout it from the rooftops - BOOK HEARTY BOYS!!! It will be one of the best decisions you make :)“

“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!“

“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!“

“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?!“

“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 /💯 👌🏻“

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

“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“

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

“Probably one of the nicest nights ever! Fabulous food, amazing new friends and the gardens! What a beautiful experience, every course was better than the last. The night was just magical.“

“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.“

“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“

“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“

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

“Philip of Tri-Star Catering worked with me throughout the entire process of selecting a menu, adding guests last minute, as well as customizing meals for those with dietary restrictions. The food was absolutely delicious. All of the guests raved about the food. They are still talking about it! I wholeheartedly recommend this company without any reservations. You will be blown away as I was.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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 only have amazing things to say about our experience with Jennifer at Jewell Events. She was super detail oriented and had great ideas that were executed to perfection - from mini espresso martini shooters to serving late night Taco Bell and McDonald's directly to the dance floor (a massive hit with the guests).

The only thing that out did the work Jennifer did was THE FOOD. Everything was absolutely delicious, from the appetizers (shout out to the grilled cheese & tomato soup shooters), to the petite sweets (home made oatmeal cream pies were to die for).

Go with Jennifer at Jewell! You'll be so glad you did!“

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

“Being able to have Blue Plate cater our wedding was an absolute dream. Alexis, Shelia, Isa and Julio were truly the best team to have. From the start, Alexis was genuine, passionate, and thoughtful. When we showed up to our tasting, Alexis and her team had gone above and beyond to really personalize our tasting. They staged our table to reflect our design choices and even surprised us with a couple of unique treats they designed specifically to incorporate the bride's South Asian culture. We were truly blown away by the presentation and amount of thought put into our tasting. This attention to detail and level of care continued throughout our journey with Blue Plate. They were happy to adjust the menu and individual dishes so that they were exactly what we wanted. We also loved that Blue Plate puts such an emphasis on guest service as well as the wellbeing of their employees. The number of employees they have working on any given wedding day is higher than the average caterer and we were so grateful for that. We knew our guests were well taken care of. We absolutely LOVED the food and the quality was unbeatable. To this day we still crave our late night ramen bar and joke we'll just have to attend another BP catered event. Blue Plate takes catering very seriously and they were extremely professional and well-rehearsed all night. We especially appreciated our personal server, Isa, as she was as attentive as humanly possible. The bride accidentally spilled hors d'oeuvres all over her wedding dress before joining the guests at reception. Isa immediately jumped into action with some cleaning wipes and managed to make the bride’s dress literally spotless! Seriously, Isa was the MVP! She was nearby all night with a water or cocktail in hand, checking up on the couple often. As the couple planning their wedding, they spend all year thinking of the guests and the guest experience. Blue Plate was one of those special vendors that spends time thinking about YOUR experience as a couple, too. We absolutely loved our experience with the team at Blue Plate and we can’t thank Alexis, Shelia, Julio, and Isa enough for their work on the most important day of our lives. We truly cannot recommend them enough.“

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

“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“

“Went here for lunch and the empanadas hit the spot—super flaky crust and solid fillings. I tried the beef, chicken, and spinach/cheese, plus grabbed a chimichurri on the side. Beef was my fave, real savory, but the spinach one felt a little light on flavor. Service was chill, not super fast but friendly. Vibe’s laid-back, good spot if you’re in the neighborhood. Spent about $22 for 3 empanadas + sauce + a soda.“

“spicy food, good service and reasonable prices“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“We absolutely loved working with Food For Though! The presentation was stunning, every detail was thoughtfully designed and they even incorporated our logo in such a beautiful, elevated way. Their staff was truly unmatched: warm, professional, attentive, and a joy to work with from start to finish. They made our event feel seamless and special, and our guests are still raving about the experience.Highly recommend for anyone looking for a caterer who goes above and beyond!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

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

“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“
