I attended a workshop in the Lombard, Chicago area where we had breakfast on Tuesday morning. Our…read moregroup had a variety of foods for breakfast before we began our session! Beyond Catering provided us with the breakfast at the workshop. There were many different breakfast options that included traditional hot breakfast foods like eggs, bacon and hash browns and some lighter options like fruit and yogurt. They also offered a selection of pastries such as blueberry, sour cream, and apple. The mix of both hot and cold foods gave everyone a chance to pick something they would enjoy to start their day off! For myself, my favorite items were the bacon and an apple pastry. The apple pastry was delicious! It was very similar to a pound cake and had a wonderful texture and a strong apple flavor, making it a perfect treat to begin the day! I had apple juice for my drink too! Apples are one of my favorite fruits! I thought the breakfast provided by Beyond Catering was fantastic! We had plenty of food for everyone, everything was freshly prepared for the catered order, and the variety of foods allowed everyone to create a filling breakfast before a long and busy day! I thought this was a quality catering service for a group event!

Chris provided great guidance in selecting the menu to match the theme of the event. The menu tasting was absolutely amazing and ultimately sealed the decision to work with Beyond Catering. The team provided outstanding support with set up at the venue. The wait staff was attentive and gracious to the guest throughout the entire evening. We especially appreciated the fact that the staff remained at the venue until the end assisted with clean up. I highly recommend Beyond Catering! Our guests are still commenting on how delicious the food was. I definitely plan to use them again! Thank you Beyond Catering for your part in making this event a memorable one for our family!

I got my food and left. My conscious told me to check my food. I went to my car to check my food and was disgusted. The ham was dark and look like it had been out all day. My sub look like it was just thrown together. I went back inside and showed the rude guy my sub. He instantly got offended and said that's how the ham looks. And refunded me back my money woth an attitude. I called the next day and requested to speak to a Manager. Someone called me a week later and I explained the situation. I was told someone would call me back. I'm still waiting on that call from a month ago. Terrible service and the food isn't worth coming back. I'm one lost customer and wont be returning.

I'd say attire is a bit dressier than your casual wear given the vibes. Complimentary bread and oil with Parmesan cheese to start. The bread was warm and moist, not hard like most Italian bread I've had. APPS: I would definitely recommend the calamari and meatballs for appetizers. Calamari was perfectly breaded and tender, not chewy like most, and came with 3 dipping sauces. The meatballs were moist and covered in cheese and meat sauce. Entrees: the rigatoni bolognese was the fan favorite of the table! Also had the beet salad and pork tenderloin and all of them were 10/10. Dessert: Tiramisu, salted caramel gelato, and fried donuts. All of the them were great, especially the fried donuts that come complimentary for buying a dessert. I was somewhat surprised by how good they were with the gelato. Service was quick and great, no complaints. Looking forward to coming back in the summer and sitting on the patio. Think this will be my new favorite Italian spot in Oak Park!

They have fantastic memorabilia for the Local Schools and Sports Teams. Very clean place. I went in before 10pm, they were winding down , but I didn't feel rushed at all. Such a great find here on Madison Street in this lovely neighborhood. Many beautiful homes all around and a great smoke shop right across the street. Great place for a daytime tour, cool shops nearby. I'd like to return and try a meal, give them an additional raring on that

Blue Plate catered, staffed, and sourced tables, chairs, tablecloths, and more for our 340 person September wedding in Chicago. While our guests have been raving about the service and food, I have been raving about Leah Farrell, the sales rep we had been lucky enough to work with from the very beginning. Leah is professional, kind, intelligent, flexible and responsive. She was easy to work with and although there was a lot of moving pieces, she made the process enjoyable along the way too. Seriously, the food was so good. We had friends who joked it was the first time they went to a wedding and the entire table had completely clean plates after dinner.

Daniel Vogel, Food Obsession Owner, and his staff were an absolute pleasure to work with and are very accommodating. We will absolutely use them again for future events!
