“We could not have been happier with our experience with Catered by Design! Rachel is so incredibly helpful and knowledgeable not just with catering, but so much more! From the initial quote, to the tasting, to the day of, she had the answers to all of our questions and was always thinking ahead. We could not have done it without her! We had such an emphasis on food for our big day and CBD really delivered. Everything tasted amazing and service was seamless. We're still getting compliments on the food months later. For the amount of food (family-style) and the quality, pricing was fantastic as well. We would highly recommend CBD to anyone for their wedding day!“

“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!“

“I just love my experience here. The decor is beautiful, cool and different. The love is in the food, I can really taste all that coming thru, even in the presentation. The chef comes around several times checks on everyone. They're present they care and really want you to have a wonderful experience. I truly love going here. You can have good conversation! It's not too loud and everything is just beautifully presented and I just can't say enough good things. Please don't hesitate on going here... Thank you Froggy's“

“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.“

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

“Everyone keeps talking about the cakes but everyone has been missing out on the absolutely 5 star cookies!

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

“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.“

“I go to the Deerfield farmers market every week and just stop here. I have had most of the kinds of pickles as well as the giardinera and must say the quality and love that goes into this food is next level. As i type this I am eating a piece of pizza with large amounts of the new “solar flare “ hot sauce and don’t think I can ever go back to the regular stuff. Thank you Chopping it up Llc and can’t wait to see what you come up with next week. Russ ( the beard guy )“

“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.“

“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.“

“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!“

“Highly recommend Helen, the food and cocktails were fantastic for the bottomless brunch. If you're thinking about booking then do it, it's great fun.“

“Sparvim and the entire Everyday Gourmet team exceeded our every expectation for our October 2020 wedding. We had a 20-person wedding due to the pandemic and really cared about the quality of the food, plus we had vegans, vegetarians, pescatarians, and meat-eaters alike to please and Sparvim DID IT! Since we had an intimate wedding we really wanted to WOW our families with the food, especially since half of our attendees were used to the often-overlooked vegetarian meal option typically served at weddings. Everyone is still talking about how great the food was. The quality was incredible, the portions were large, and the seasonal touches were just what we wanted. The appetizers were plentiful and were visually stunning. We added an extra course since the meal was the main event for our smaller wedding and I am so glad we did this. Sparvim was very flexible and open to all of our menu ideas. She even created a salad based off of one of our favorite restaurants in California. Sparvim even created a coursed kids menu - she really blew us away from start to finish. She knows her business and was very helpful in making every decision, including the lovely tablescape. Her pricing was competitive and the service was outstanding. Every server was professional and incredibly friendly! The entire team took every precaution regarding Covid which made everyone feel comfortable and at ease. Sparvims expertise and personal touches were apparent in every dish, and the incredible presentation and tastiness of every bite made us lifelong customers. We can't wait to hire her again, I couldn't recommend Everyday Gourmet more for a personalized and delicious event experience.“

“I usually stop in here for a meal before I see a movie. The ingredients are SUPER fresh and delicious! I'm a fan of the nachos (be aware they are quite messy but so tasty) and the chicken bowl. There is ample seating inside and an outdoor area with patio furniture. You can order on the kiosk inside or with one of the folks working.“

“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 daughter had her wedding at this venue on 8/4/25. From the point of discussing the space, to reviewing the contract, to discussing options, to answering ALL of our questions, to the tasting, to the day of, our event coordinator (not sure that's her specific title) Amanda was nothing short of stellar. She was patient, thorough, and accommodating ensuring that my daughter was comfortable in a very important time of her life. Our event captain (again not sure of her title) Kylie also was amazing -- handling each of our requests quickly and pleasantly. These two ladies are an asset to your company & should be commended for their fantastic work ethic. All the event staff from the bartenders, to servers, to bus boys were pleasant and efficient. The food was delicious as well. Our event was amazing & memorable largely due to the associates we interacted with.“

“My mom (Jane) and step dad (Joe) love this place, and take me every time i come up from Evansville, Indiana! Love the food, and the service is amazing!“

“We took a ride to City Barbecue in Park Ridge.

It's about thirty minutes northwest of Chicago.

I ordered a combination plate with Pulled Pork and Beef Brisket.

The plate came with cole slaw, beans and a piece of bread.

Really delicious and really moist.

The location is very clean and employees are very friendly.“

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

“This is a takeout and catering business in Highland Park. The fried chicken, cornbread, cole slaw and corn bread were all very good. The baked beans are the best baked beans I have ever had! They are to die for! Portions are extremely generous. They do good southern food right! Chef Kenny is amazing!“

“Very good service... I highly recommend the place...“

“How are waitress, Coco, was excellent. We always request our since she is always so attentive without being intrusive. Our food was very good. I had the chicken Francesca, which was excellent and minestrone soup was the best. The, which salad has changed. There are fewer tomatoes and bacon pieces in the salad so it seems as if they are cutting back on that which made me somewhat disappointed. Hopefully it was just a one time thing. We will be back.“
