50 Best Caterers near Skokie

“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.“

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

“We hired Cortes Catering for our very non-traditional block party wedding reception. Words to describe the food - amazing, delicious, creative. We had a "Chicago street party" theme, and Oscar made tacos on the street, plus Chicago style hot dogs with all the trimmings, and Italian beef. Our guests loved it. He helped to create a layout on our street that made all areas of the party accessible. His staff was so fun - they really added to the festive spirit of our party. Every time we stopped to ask if they needed anything from us, the response was clear - enjoy the party, we have this covered. I highly recommend Cortes Catering for delicious food and a worry-free event.“

“Very tasty, very good!“

“Catered by Design provided catering for our daughter’s bridal shower and her outdoor wedding reception. Everything was flawless for both events and CBD guided me through each decision and consideration so that our event was beautiful and well-prepared. Most importantly, the food was excellent! Great value - you get an elegantly displayed and delicious menu while maintaining a very reasonable budget. I will definitely be using CBD for my future small and larger events. It was a true pleasure!“

“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.“

“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!“

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

“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?!“

“spicy food, good service and reasonable prices“

“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!!“

“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.“

“Everyone keeps talking about the cakes but everyone has been missing out on the absolutely 5 star cookies! We were able to try these at work, thanks to the absolutely wonderful donation of their products to help share with the community on Friday’s and for this we are so grateful and want to wish you good luck because the taste is wonderful!“

“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 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!“

“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 have had wonderful experiences here. We have had delivery and they catered a party for us. We had a lox platter, pasta salad and an assorted sandwich tray. I typically do not eat lox anywhere other than buying from the fish monger but their nova lox is fantastic. I’ve had it three times now and it’s been excellent every time. They have fantastic corned beef and turkey.“

“Erin and the rest of the team were amazing! We unfortunately had to reschedule our wedding due to the pandemic and Erin stuck with us every step of the way during one of the most difficult periods of our lives and always went out of her way to help us. And let's not forget the food... all of the the selections were 🔥🔥. Hire The Caterist and ask for Erin!“

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

“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.“

“If I could give Tri-Star Catering more than 5 stars, I absolutely would. They provided catering for our two-day conference in Chicago, and from start to finish, the experience was nothing short of exceptional. Philip, my main point of contact, set the tone early with an incredibly thoughtful and detailed intake process. It felt less like a transaction and more like a true partnership. He took the time to understand exactly what I wanted, and then elevated it beyond my expectations. The range of menu options was honestly mind-blowing. We had a pretty diverse group with a lot of dietary needs, and somehow everyone was happy—which is not easy. No one felt like an afterthought. The attention to detail was impeccable. From beautifully designed menu cards to a perfectly executed cocktail station at dinner, every element was curated with care. Nothing was overlooked. And I have to highlight Gabe—because WOW. Having him onsite was a game changer. He stayed on top of everything: refilling food and drinks, maintaining the space, and making sure guests were taken care of without ever being intrusive. Now let’s talk about the food. I love food—and I can be a tough critic—and they gave me absolutely nothing to complain about. Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully presented. The team was punctual, professional, and engaging. Setup and breakdown were seamless, and their communication throughout the entire process was consistent and clear. My only “complaint”? I wish they were based closer to me so I could hire them for everything. If you’re looking for a caterer in Chicago, stop searching. This is your company. Philip and his team take real pride in their work—and it shows in every detail.“

“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“

“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!“

“I thank you Kasia pierogi for your donation today to our benefit Stay with Ukraine. We sold all pierogies, and people loved them. My family always buys your pierogi, and we wish you have your business to blossom.“

“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. 👏🏼“

Thank you Parkside Meal Prep!!!“

“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!“

“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.“

“Great Ribs and Brisket, the slaw is Slawtasic, ask for extra pickles 😋“

“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!“

“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!“

“Chef Chris hosted a private birthday dinner for 14 of us. He worked with me on customizing a filipino-inspired menu and hunted down a ton of specialty ingredients. The level of detail and care was insane. All of our friends can’t stop talking about how awesome the birthday party was. Whole roasted milkfish, pork belly, chinese eggplant, pomelo salad, crab cakes with quail eggs, insane charcuterie, endless sourdough, matcha desserts, spicy chocolate bark, sweet corn risotto, just to name a few of the many amazing courses he served us.

This dude is rare and high in demand. Yet extremely fair on price, actually generous. This guy just loves his craft. He’s open on sundays for a few hours if you want to sample his food. But otherwise if you want to get him for the full experience, make sure you’re booking far out in advance.“

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