True Cuisine

Absolute best caterer ever! During the entire process the team was amazing at answering all my questions and giving me their honest recommendations. They were very prompt with answering emails. THE FOOD!!! was absolutely delicious!!! Every guest complimented how great the food was. Every Filet was cooked to perfection and the flavor in all our dishes was top notch. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We used True Cuisine/Sweet Baby Ray's for our wedding and it was absolutely fantastic. Sarah was our lead person for all the planing and she was wonderful to work with from start to finish. She instilled confidence in us that everything would be handled with her level of professionalism and organization. We had two tastings, which was suggested to do another one closer to, and we are so glad that we did! Ended up changing a few dishes from the tasting closer to the wedding. The tastings were so fun. The actual wedding day was seamless. The food, staff and everything else went off without a hitch, or at least we think so. So that just means if anything did go awry, we had no idea! They arrived on time, set up, and provided an absolutely fantastic meals and sweets table/coffee to our guests. They were extremely easy to work with and especially regarding allergies. I have celiac and they made it very clear how serious they were about allergies. I was also able to swap out the potatoes in my dish instead of quinoa! I would HIGHLY recommend this entire team for any event and especially your wedding. Sarah Ridder is fantastic at her job and you can tell she enjoys doing it, which makes it all that much more fun to experience as the bride and groom. The day of coordinator also introduced herself to both me and my husband before the event and then checked in with us at the end, which was a nice touch! Then we knew our point person to go to and she made herself available if we needed anything.

True Cuisine was absolutely incredible! From our tasting to the big day, they were very communicative and served delicious food. They came recommended by our venue, and it’s evident why. True Cuisine made our food fresh on site, and we think that’s part of what made the dishes so amazing. It was more than just traditional “wedding food”, the flavors in each dish were top notch! Our dessert table and late night snack were a hit!! We loved every aspect of working with True Cuisine and would recommend for any type of event!!

True Cuisine/SBR did such an amazing job catering our wedding at Salvage One! From the beginning planning stages to our tasting and all of the emails and calls leading up to the day Jacob was so helpful and responsive. The food was SO good! We had many guests that night rave about the food and even weeks later guests still telling us how much they enjoyed both the hors d’oeuvres and dinner. They accommodated our guests and vendors dietary restrictions and allergies with no issues. There was never a line for drinks and they executed our 3 signature drinks flawlessly. Our event director Sue was so awesome and top of everything all night making sure me and the groom were always well taken care of. She was such a delight and brought good energy and amazing service. The whole team really did an amazing job making our day seamless and enjoyable and memorable.

One of our priorities in planning our wedding was the food/cuisine. We wanted food that our guests would enjoy, remember, and rave about. The True Cuisine/SBR team more than exceeded in doing that. There is not an item on their menu that was not delicious (which made picking our menu so difficult)! Our whole process working with the team was amazing - it was smooth, painless, and removed a lot of the stress of wedding planning. We primarily worked with Meghann Streicher and she was awesome! So responsive and attentive to detail.

We initially found True Cuisine through our venue (The BRIX on the Fox). True Cuisine/SBR host weddings at they BRIX almost every weekend and are truly a well-oiled machine their. They executed the day flawlessly and were so professional, kind, and on top of everything. The timing was impeccable and our guests did not go hungry through the event. They even especially catered to our guests with allergies/dietary preferences (since we did buffet style) and made sure those guests had individual plates made for them.

We truly had a great experience with this team - from the tasting, to the coordination/planning, to the day of. We would recommend them to all couples planning a wedding and in need of catering. Thank you True Cuisine! We are so grateful to you!

True Cuisine was amazing to work with! The tasting was private and thorough, and they even created an off-menu dish for us. On the wedding day, the food quality was just as excellent, and our guests loved it. Great communication and delicious food — highly recommend!

The True Cuisine team did an amazing job for our wedding this month! The staff was so attentive and diligent. Plates and drinks were cleared appropriately. My guests even said they didn’t run out of water at all as they were diligent in filling glasses through the event.

We did buffet style with two entrees and a third vegetarian entree, veggies, mashed potatoes, soup, and salad. We got the late night coffee table and late night snacks that included cobblers, pizza, tacos, and burger sliders. Almost every guest went up to get a second plate after finishing their first. As the bride, I also stacked my plate high with the food. The guests couldn’t resist the late night snacks. The late night snacks were a massive HIT with the guests! As my husband and I were making our rounds to talk to guests, everyone complimented the food and many asked us “Who catered the wedding?”

We had a lot ordered food-wise from True Cuisine to cater for us… and the prices were SO reasonable compared to other caterers that did not offer as many options(and if they did have the option, the prices were noticeably higher). We tried a total of three different caterers and ultimately the FOOD was better and the prices were also better.

I have family members that have dietary restrictions and the True Cuisine team were wonderful in adjusting the menu so that they could have something to eat at the wedding! We discussed the dietary restrictions months in advance. And the True Cuisine team made sure to remember. True Cuisine themselves asked about the dietary restrictions multiple times (mostly about individual ingredients) so they could make sure the food for the wedding would work for some members of my family! They did not have any issues after eating the food and commented that the food tasted amazing.

Meghann from True Cuisine has been working with us for months preparing for the wedding with us. Helping us adjust our menu and even helped us out with getting a second tasting to adjust the menu. Getting linen samples and choosing the linens were a breeze too.

Sandra was our event coordinator the day of the wedding and she was PHENOMENAL. She made sure we had our food during the wedding.

We signed the waivers and got all the leftover food, amazingly packed up by True Cuisine, and brought it all home. I am so excited to eat it all through then next week. So YES the food is THAT GOOD.

If you want a team that accommodates to dietary restrictions, is professional, diligent,  flexible to work with, and AMAZING FOOD then True Cuisine is who you should go with for your wedding.

I don’t know where to start. We chose True Cuisine to cater our wedding at The Bridge in Lemont. I can’t tell you how many people keep talking about how good the food was a week after the wedding. Everything was perfect!!! We worked with Meghann Streicher, she was so easy to work with and down to every detail. The office staff was on point and up to date with deadlines and info. The onsite staff was amazing and wonderful. The event director, Sue Florro, was the greatest. Nothing better than having cocktails and appetizers delivered the bride and green during pictures while we were missing cocktail hour. I am truly grateful that we chose True Cuisine to cater our wedding.

When we started planning our wedding, we had a BBQ caterer in mind, but the venue we chose had a list of vendors we had to choose from. We saw Sweet Baby Rays/True Cuisine on the list so we went to the restaurant, tried the food, and decided to give them a shot. I'm so glad we did, as they exceeded our expectations! From the beginning, everyone we worked with was very helpful, accommodating, and got back to us quickly with answers to any questions we asked. We chose to go without a wedding planner and figure out everything ourselves, and the True Cuisine team was very helpful on the day of, setting up our centerpieces and favors and giving us guidance where we needed it. The food was outstanding! We got so many compliments from our guests! All of the staff did an excellent job and everyone we talked to was very friendly. The services they provided were set up/tear down/clean up of the reception, provided all food, dessert table, late night snack, and full bar. I'm so glad we went with SBR/True Cuisine and I couldn't recommend them more for your special day!

Omg what can I say!!! The food was amazing down to every last detail. They were great to work with and the staff was awesome. All of our guests said it was the best brisquet they have ever tasted!

We received so many compliments about our food on our wedding day, including our friends who have picky palettes! The table stations were decorated beautifully with different displays and clear signage of each food present.

We've used SBR/True Cuisine for both company and personal events for a number of years and every time they've exceeded our expectations. Staff has been accommodating, communicative and competent at every step of the process from menu development to execution, whether a drop-off or fully serviced event. The food has been consistently wonderful, and a great value. Can confidently recommend!

We used True Cuisine for our wedding this summer. They showed the utmost professionalism from our very first email correspondence and onward. We worked with Jacob and he and his team executed a fantastic day. We were apprehensive at first about going with a buffet style, however once we did the tasting and evaluated the options, we decided this made sense for us. Our guests absolutely loved the food and the True Cuisine team pulled off the buffet beautifully. The staff timed it so well where none of the tables were waiting too long before they could go up for their plate. For any guests with mobility issues, the TC staff served plated meals directly to their seats. This detail was much appreciated and we were told how kind and professional the staff was. Jacob was extremely detail oriented and identified any potential issues when it came to a few of our guests' food allergies as well to avoid any mishaps and helped make sure all bases were covered for dietary needs. The tables were also set up perfectly and looked very sharp. Going with true cuisine was money well spent!

We had a great experience for an event of 40 people. Kelsey was very helpful with making food selections and making sure we had the right amount of food. Delivery was smooth and on time. And the food was delicious!

We used True Cuisine for our February 2025 wedding. We originally met with them since they were one of our venues preferred caterers, but they were so incredible we would have chosen them anyways! We had excellent communication throughout the whole process from everyone we worked with, and they helped us customize our package to be exactly what we needed. The staff with us day-of were detailed oriented and made the reception run so smoothly. Of course, the food was also delicious! We had many guests tell us how good it was, and that they went up for seconds.
