I really enjoyed the food and service of Maravela's The buffet was delicious, hot, and with a great variety. There was a vegetable tray, cheese and crackers. Meatballs, Greek pastry, stuffed mushrooms, I specifically had some of the meatballs. They were tender and the sauce just right! The sausage and peppers with onions was savory but not overwhelming. I loved the salami and cream cheese presentation. I haven't seen it done that way before! The bar tender was attentive! The servers were efficient and lovely. So why not a 5 star? The decor needs a little sprucing up is all. I didn't think about pictures while I was there. But here's a very small sample of what I chose.

I cannot say enough amazing things about Pear Tree Catering's food. My office has catered from Pear…read moreTree for a number of years so I've been fortunate enough to be able to try many of the delicious items that they offer. I love the amazing presentation across all items I've seen -- many times exceeding what I've ever seen at weddings. They also provide wonderful cards with descriptions and dietary indicators that look great and are very informative. What really stands out here though is the food quality. All the fruits and vegetables I've had, whether it be in a fruit tray, salad, grilled veggies, etc. are top notch. Generally I won't go towards fresh produce when given other options, but Pear Tree has won me over with their absolutely delicious items. Even items such as breadsticks and crackers with a mix of cheese are absolutely delicious, where the commitment to sourcing quality ingredients is evident with every bite. Salads are also incredibly good here, with fresh greens that are nice and crisp and nice juicy tomatoes and other items like cheese, nuts, fruits, etc. that once again show their commitment to top notch ingredients. Overall, I'm glad that we do so much corporate catering with Pear Tree Catering. Employees are genuinely excited every time they bring in delicious food to the office, as they are consistently excellent across the board with all their offerings

We had about 25 potatoes left over and 1/4 of the two heaping pans of pulled pork (perhaps due to 10 vegetarians in our crowd) because we all thought the pulled pork tasted great. They delivered and set up in about 10-15 minutes. We didn't use servers. The whole process was smooth. This is our second event with them. The last was a wedding of 250 people. We highly recommend!

The food was pretty good and our server was wonderful. They allowed us to bring in a homemade cake too. (They just couldn't serve or cut it, but they did help us with the plates and utensils. Definitely ask if you plan to do this.) Loved their super crispy French fries and their gluten free pizza was pretty good. My husband and other family members got the deep dish with caramelized crust and confirmed it was as good as it looks.

We suggested a couple types of food and they found some great food trucks, sent us menus, were very clear with pricing (including the "all in" cost -- no tricks or hidden fees), and handled all of the arrangements with the food truck for us. Ultimately, we went with a grill menu with gyros, chicken pitas, burgers, fries, etc. and the food was awesome! They provided food and drinks for about 100 employees with very efficient and friendly service. The event was a huge success and we would definitely use Trucked Up Catering again for future events.

We walked in and they seated us fairly quickly, we were sat at a table but asked for a booth and there were a few opened but they said they werent available, which was fine, I dont think they had a lot of staffing on this day so I understand. The inside was nicely decorated with Chicago sports teams which was so nice. We ordered the Garlic Parmesan boneless wings, the birria grilled cheese and a kiss chicken tender and fries fpr my nephew. The garlic Parmesan wings were clearly frozen then fried which is not how I remember them, the breading was seperating from the chicken and the vreadign was so hard :/ the birria grilled cheese was very flavorful and juicy with such a nice crust on the bread. And my nephew really enjoyed his kids meal. Overall, I thought the staff was great but the boneless wings not so much..
