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!“

“We used Catered by Design for our recent wedding reception at the Evanston Woman's Club, and they were great! They (specifically Erin) were communicative and easy to work with and graciously answered all of our (many) questions. The food was delicious, and we found them to be at a reasonable price point compared to many other caterers. The tasting experience was great as well“

“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 :)“

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

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

“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“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“The Caterist was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding! From the very beginning, they were highly responsive, answering all of our questions promptly and addressing any concerns we had. Their communication style was fantastic. The quality of their work was fabulous - they completely customized the menu to our tastes, incorporating cultural foods like delicious fried plantain (which our Caribbean guests raved was the best they'd ever had!) as well as using our own family recipe for mac and cheese. They even created custom cocktails for us with cultural twists. The crème brulee station was perfect. The end result was a truly memorable and personalized menu that all of our guests loved. We couldn't have asked for a better catering experience - highly recommend The Caterist for any couples looking for a fabulous, customizable option for their wedding day! They went the extra mile helping set everything up for dinner! Shoutout to Erin for helping perfectly execute our micro wedding and larger wedding 2 years later!“

“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?!“

“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!“

“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.“

“The food was exceptional! Zil zil tibs and Yebeg tibs were wonderful and we enjoyed all of the veggie side dishes. We have eaten at several of the Ethiopian restaurants in Chicago and none compare to Michuu. We will absolutely be back!!“

“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 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. 👏🏼“

“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.“

“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!“

“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!!“

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

“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“

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

“Friendly staff who do magnificent work!“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Phenomenal food, that’s arguably the best in the north shore.“

“Very nice comfortable place“

“Urban Tables is amazing. I appreciate the staffs and managers kindness to me even though I have autism and their food is amazing and really good. Owner Autumn and Malachi is very nice. The restaurant is in good condition. Amazing soul food. Must come back. 10/10.“

“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!“

“I will drive across the state for the fries with garlic aioli. Yummy!!“

“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 best tasting fresh meals I've tried! Good for you. Yummy tasting: Highly recommend“

“We visited Blackwood BBQ at the Mart yesterday and had a wonderful experience. The food was delicious, but the staff were incredible. My brother is deaf, and Darnell and Demetrius were patient and helpful, communicating with him directly rather than looking to me for help communicating with him. This seems like a small gesture, but it's a really big deal for us and we appreciated their kindness.“

“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!!“

“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!“
