50 Best Caterers near River Forest

“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“

“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!“

“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?“

“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.“

“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 :)“

“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!“

“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!“

“Very professional and the food is amazing“

“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!“

“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“

“Zelda’s catered my daughters reception. Everything was great! Food, drinks,staff were wonderful! HIGHLY recommend!!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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“

“I worked closely with Emily, and she went above and beyond to tailor the menu to my needs for the event (a passed-tray reception) and the budget I was working with. The Caterist delivers high-quality, delicious food and elegant presentation. On top of that, service was top-notch and Emily was always available to me. I love that they are local to Evanston, too.“

“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“

“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“

“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!“

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

“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!“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“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 !“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!“

“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!“

“Love their posts and their honesty!“

“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.“

“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 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. 👏🏼“

“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!!!“
