Caterers near Skokie

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

“We booked Cortes Catering for a post-Memorial Service reception at a family home. Given the nature of the event, it was particularly important to us to have caterers who were efficient, thoughtful, easeful and elegant. Cortes Catering was all this and more. We received multiple compliments on the food; even highly accomplished cooks were clamoring for recipes. Communication was easy; setup and cleanup were super-efficient and unintrusive. The staff was wonderful, super-nice, professional, and easy to work with. Based on quotes we received from other caterers, we feel that Cortes Catering offers great value for top-quality food, presentation and service. There were no problems at all and we recommend them without reservation.“

“Once again Tommy knocked it out of the park. Beef and sausage, vodka pasta out of this world. Highly recommend for all you holiday parties.“

“Very tasty, very good!“

“Catered by Design was an incredible vendor to work with and made wedding planning so much easier. Rachel was extremely knowledgeable, helpful, and easy to contact and work with. The food was great and we had so many options to choose from. The service was wonderful during the cocktail hour and dinner. They were extremely receptive to any request we had and during the wedding. Our head captain was so attentive to my husband and I making sure everything was going well and checking in to see if we needed anything. We had an amazing experience with everyone on the team and we have only heard great reviews from guests about the food! We loved working with Catered By Design and highly recommend their services!!“

“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!“

“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 had a great experience working with Chicago Food Truck Hub. I got a phone call only minutes after sending in my inquiry on the website, and they quickly prepared a a quote based on our conversation. We went back and forth a few times as my needs changed, and they helped me adjust my order to fit my budget. It was wonderful to work with one person for an event with numerous food trucks. I had their cell phone number if I needed it, and they shared mine with the food truck operators so that they could reach out to me when they arrived. The trucks arrived on time, and the food was delicious! (College students LOVE grilled cheese! Who knew?!) We will definitely work with them again for our next event and would recommend them to anyone who is planning an event.“

“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?!“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“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.“

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

“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.“

“I loved working with The Caterist! Erin not only coordinated our wedding dinner, but helped us with other wedding coordinating in general since we did not hire an official wedding planner. She made everything flow so easily! The day of crew was amazing, so sweet, and attentive. The food was delicious and we received tons of compliments on how yummy everything was!“

“The food has been great and the service, too! Prices good Generous portions!“

“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!

“I FOUND THIS PLACE AFTER BEING LET DOWN BY THE SLICE OF PIZZA I GOT FROM ANOTHER PLACE NOT TOO FAR FROM HERE. AFTER A QUICK GOOGLE I WAS LEAD TO THE BRIGHT PINK BUILDING THAT HAD SO MANY GOOD REVIEWS. WHEN I ARRIVED I SAW THAT THEY HAD SLICES AVAILABLE BUT THEY WERE SOLD OUT OF CHEESE AT THE TIME, SO I DECIDED TO JUST ORDER A SMALL CHEESE THIN CRUST SINCE I WAS ASSURED IT WOULD ONLY BE ABOUT 10 MINUTES. THE GUYS HERE WERE VERY FRIENDLY AND MADE THE 10 MINUTE WAIT GO BY WITH EASE. BEFORE I KNEW IT I WAS BEING TOLD THAT MY PIZZA WAS READY. I HAD TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE PIZZA BEFORE I LEFT OUT AND IT WAS A CLASSIC LOOKING THING OF BEAUTY. I HAD TO TRY A SLICE BEFORE CLOSING THE BOX BACK AND MY TASTE BUDS WERE GREETED WITH PIPING HOT DELICIOUSNESS. THE QUALITY OF THE SAUCE WAS VERY GOOD AND IT HAD THAT TRADITIONAL CLASSIC TASTE THAT YOU LOOK FOR IN A GREAT PIZZA. THE CRUST MAINTAINED ITS CRISP INTEGRITY, EVEN THOUGH I ASKED FOR A LITTLE EXTRA SAUCE ON IT. THE MELTY PULL ON THAT CHEESE WAS PERFECT FOR ME AS WELL. I ONLY ADDED CRUSH RED PEPPERS TO IT BECAUSE I LIKE A LITTLE KICK WITH MINE AND THAT MADE IT PREFECT FOR ME. ALL IN ALL, I'M SO GLAD I FOUND THIS PLACE AND ANY TIME I'M IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD I'LL BE STOPPING BY TO GET ONE OF MY FAVORITE FOODS FROM YOU GUYS. THANKS A LOT FOR YOUR HOSPITALITY AND PASSION THAT YOU PUT INTO CRAFTING YOUR PIES. SEE YOU SOON!“

“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!“

“Always a wonderful meal at Meg’s. Food, service, ambience, staff....all are outstanding!!!! A true treasure in Glencoe!!!“

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

“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!!!“

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

“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. 👏🏼“

“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“

“Great place! The Bagels, Salmon spread, tuna salad and egg white salad are just a few of my favorites here. Everything is amazing and fresh. Staff is friendly and service is fast! Sandwiches are made to order with all the right toppings. Would highly recommend them and they cater too!“

“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!“

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

“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.“

“we had our wedding cake made by this bakery. and it was amazing from the design to the taste.“

“Juli was great! Not only did she show up on time with AMAZING looking food, the finished creations were gorgeous!! The bagel board had a variety of bagels, multiple types of lox, several cream cheeses, and beautifully arranged vegetables. The cookie board was the talk of the brunch!! Highly recommend.“

“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.“

“We recently placed our second empanada order! We ordered a large variety of flavors and every single one was extremely flavorful and delicious! First experience was not as great as our second. First time we did not cook them properly and the texture was wrong! Flavor was incredible but they were too chewy. Make sure to follow all instructions for cooking and they make a great meal!“

“Urban Tables has consistently provided delicious, flavorful, and reasonably priced meals for my family. A varied selection of entrees is offered, including vegetarian options. The owner is accommodating with special requests. The peanut butter cookies are scrumptious!“

“If we could give more than 5 stars we would. I've been in the restaurant industry for over 20 years. I was super nervous about handing the whole day to someone else on such an important day. Every single detail was handled perfectly. From the ceremony set up, the dinner, service, the bar. Paul and Angie are amazing and so easy to work with. The staff they brought were just as wonderful. Even better... The food was AMAZING!! Ourguests can't stop talking about it, we were so impressed.“

“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!“

“Haven't been here in years! Got some tasty sandwiches and sweets today! Everything sill fresh and always beautiful in here. Lots of options!“

“I used Frank and his team to cater a graduation event in Chicago last week. I was arranging the event from out of town and Frank was very helpful and responsive as we planned the menu. On the day of our event, the team arrived to my daughter’s apartment (with a very small kitchen) and they got busy. The food was amazing and abundant. The presentation was just as great. I would highly recommend this team for any catering event - large or small. Outstanding!! Thanks guys!!“

“fantastic tacos for anyone!!! vegans, vegetarians or people who love meat but are looking for something delicious and different ❤️❤️ 5 stars!“

“3.5⭐️Not bad for an airport pizza. The workers are very nice, kind, and friendly, which is always refreshing when traveling, and the ladies at the cash register were putting smiles on people’s faces. The pizzaiolo was kind of sketch at first since he tried to re-warm an already done pizza vs. making a fresh/new one, but after a minute, he decided to make it from scratch. This pizza was about $15. The place seems clean.“

“The products and place are phenomenal! Such good vibes! Thank you to Nashwa, Trina and Joey! I highly recommend stopping in!!“

“This past Saturday, Sabroso Catering saved the day. Short notice to cater a family function of 30. Carne Asada, Chicken and Al Pastor tacos on fresh homemade Tortillas, with fresh garnishes and homemade sauce and Rice. Beautifully decorated table, covid protocols in place and service including setup and breakdown! FOOD to PRICE ratio... so worth it. FANTASTIC ... PROMPT, FLAVORFUL AND PROFESSIONAL. TRY THEM!!!“
