I don't live in Downers Grove so I had no recommendations of who to hire by friends. I took a chance and was so lucky to have picked Barbara. She was in constant contact with me, came when she said she would and provided everything she said she would provide. She coordinates and oversees everything.

Tina was a lifesaver for my family Thanksgiving party I was hosting this year. I must have…read morecontacted 30 different companies, servers, and even cleaners to try to find someone to help us out for a few hours on Thanksgiving. Many companies were downright rude, stating they do not make their employees work on holidays. Others gave us absurd quotes, and after weeks of searching, I had almost given up hope of finding anyone. Being 6 months pregnant, and hosting a Thanksgiving party for 30-40 guests in my home, I really wanted an extra set of hands to help set up, maintain the buffet, and clean up. Tina agreed to come work herself when she wasn't able to find any of her waitstaff to come in. She showed up 15 mins early while I was still in my pajamas running around getting food in the oven, and got right to work. She finished setting up my buffet, wrote the names of the dishes on my mini chalkboard plaques, and greeted guests while I quickly got ready. She was very personable and professional and willing to do whatever was necessary to make the evening go smooth. When the punch ran out, she offered to make more. She helped carve the turkey, ensured the buffet was refilled as necessary, and plated the desserts at my request to make it easy for guests to grab and sit down. She packed leftovers in To Go containers, cleaned up, washed dishes, and took out trash. Many of my guests came up to me throughout the night to compliment her service. I am so happy I found her, and can't imagine using anyone else for my party needs in the future. Thank you Tina for saving my party, and letting me actually be able to sit and enjoy my company for a change. I can't wait to work with you again!

I was looking for a caterer to provide some light bites for an event I was hosting when I came…read moreacross North Island Catering. I read the great reviews and decided to give them a try! I actually initially found this company through an outside website (thumbtack I believe?), which made it super easy to quickly communicate with them and request a quote. Responses were punctual and I received all of the information I needed including menus, options, and costs. Hassle free and definitely appreciate considering my event was only a few days away! I ended up ordering the following: - Bacon wrapped BBQ shrimp - Veggie pizza - Mini rueben sandwiches - Peanut butter cookies - Chocolate brownies Everything was delivered on time and was absolutely delicious! The guy who dropped off the food was super nice and was able to call in my credit card number for payment. They were sure to include plates, silverware, and napkins with the order. Everyone at my event raved about the food (especially the veggie pizza and chocolate brownies). This is a family owned business and everything is made from scratch. While initially I thought the prices were a bit much, after tasting the food itself and seeing how much we got I realized the cost was definitely fair. My only complaint would have to be the presentation. Now mind you, they don't claim to specialize in this or anything, but I think if they found a way to package the food a little nicer that would go a long way! Especially since the food is so delicious, then all customers would have to do is literally put it out for their guests. I ended up rearranging a bit and moving things to more presentable and size appropriate platters. Tip: Consult with them about how much food to order. I did not do this and I definitely over ordered for my group. I had a whole veggie pizza leftover, tons of cookies, and some sandwiches. And not because the food wasn't liked, but just because I had SO much of it. The desserts and pizza were great as leftovers, everything else not so much.

We had our food grilled on site, and it was the best decision we made. These guys truly rocked it and beyond. All we heard from our guests was that the food was outstanding.
