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'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!

I'd heard from a few members of my mother's club about Taste of Home. I haven't lived in the area for quite some time, so all I could do was trust their experience; and I was so glad I did. I explained the need to put our socially-distancing guests at ease with a range of outdoor, afternoon finger food that was individually-wrapped. Donna recommended an array of appetizer sandwiches and cookies that turned out to be real crowd pleasers! Eliminating the use for any utensils was certainly the way to go, and as if to underline that point, trays of non-wrapped cookies and cakes that people brought were hardly touched. My family is so pleased with the outcome, my area siblings are all looking into using Taste of Home for family dinners. We believe in keeping our purchasing as local as possible during this economic uncertainty, and Taste of Home has provided another great Hinsdale option for when cooking is better off done by someone else. Their menu offers great variety for any sort of audience or occasion, so before you order a pizza for the umpteenth time, give Donna and her team a go! Thanks ever, Donna! On a day when I had zero bandwidth for orchestrating a light meal for 40 people, you came through brilliantly! (Insert hearts and stars here!)

It comes with one side, I opt for mac n cheese which tastes really good also. Park on street or at the back. Parking will be challenging on a busy hour or day.

I am forever THANKFUL. Their experience, organization, and just willingness to commit to making this day so special. From the start, we loved their food and knew immediately they were it. We even did an additional tasting to look at other options on their menu. Wedding day ... everything that could have happened to us ... happened (never returning to our venue ever). Luckily none of the guests found out because they were all distracted about the food. During contrail hour, the staff was nonstop bringing appetizers because people were taking thirds, fourths, etc. & I'm still hearing about it! Then dinner was exquisite. The portion of the food is very notable... GENEROUS and FILLING. Even my pickiest family members were asking for more. We had a lot of DIYs and they accommodated all of them. Even the ones I brought last minute. And the staff -- every single person -- was so kind, friendly, and just lovely to be around. The bartenders were absolute champs. They even went above and beyond to make us happy while our venue was being EXTRAORDINARILY difficult. Stephanie even came to help us de stress us & the bartenders were just phenomenal - trust me, our 170 guests do not mess around with an open bar. In conclusion, our venue.. never again. Marie's catering would choose all over again! Thank you again!! I don't have photos of our food at the moment, but wanted to share photos because it ended up being such a beautiful day

Ordering Process: I got the mini sandwiches and the fruit and cheese tray. Ordering was super easy and stress-free. They could customize the type and number of sandwiches with no problem and I also added the fruit and cheese tray after the fact, which was accommodated. Quality: I ordered the mini-sandwiches - chicken salad, turkey gouda, and veggie caprese. Each was so delicious. The cheese and fruit tray were beautifully presented and had plenty of variety. High-quality fruit, cheese, and crackers. Our guests loved the food! Presentation: Each tray was BEAUTIFULLY presented! I also loved that the little card labels came with the order so it was easy to set things up. (see picture). Overall: I'm beyond thrilled with the whole order, From start to finish it was so smooth and the food was well presented and delicious. You cannot ask for more. These gals go above and beyond. I will order from them again and am so proud to support a women-owned business!
