I hired Unforgettable Edibles to cater my baby shower on 6/11/22. I was browsing catering companies and wanted a place that offered small bites, so I decided to take a chance on them, and I was not disappointed! Everything was perfect and headache free from the initial phone call to the last bite of food! I was expecting about 20 to 24 guests and Jill helped me figure out how much food to get, which was spot on (6 - 8 pieces per person).

I ordered a variety of hors d'oeuvres, and each one was SOOO delicious! The flavors, portions, and the way they looked were perfect. My favorite was the steak crostini, but the chicken salad tarts, fondue mushrooms, Irish sausage puffs, fig and goat cheese flatbreads, and sliders were a very close 2nd. The food was very neatly and artistically displayed on trays, and everything was labeled.

All of my guests were thoroughly impressed. I paid for the set up and I'm glad I did because it was quick and the two people who set it up were very polite and professional. I also ordered some desserts which were fancier than I expected. They are definitely mini, but a very delicious bite. I definitely recommend women-owned Unforgettable Edibles!

Unforgettable Edibles is the best! Our family uses their catering services for all holidays and family parties. My favorites are their St. Patrick's Day specials and their Thanksgiving dinners. We recently reached out to them for our upcoming wedding, and they could not be more accommodating and helpful with drafting proposals and working with vendors. I could not recommend them more for any event big or small.

One of the best experiences with a caterer ever. I love their customer service! Their food was amazing and they worked with in my theme to come up with just the perfect menu! I will for sure be using them again!

I'm so glad we found Unforgettable Edibles when our team was looking for an original, independent, woman-owned caterer near our lunch event with 20+ people. They made it so easy. I let them know about our group and the dietary restrictions we were trying to accommodate. Right away, they let us know what they recommended and how they could adjust a couple items for specific requests. (One lactose-intolerant person in our group was especially pleased with their delicious, healthy salad, telling me, "Most places hear 'lactose-intolerant' and just send me a bunch of carbs.") I couldn't have been happier with the Unforgettable Edibles team and can't wait for the next opportunity to order.

Unforgettable Edibles catered my daughters wedding in our backyard. It was 90 degrees and humid. We had 144 guests. They did an outstanding job. The food was great! The prime rib and chicken were delicious. The staff was friendly, efficient and worked incredibly hard to make our event special. I'd use them again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend them.

I ordered from unforgettable edibles for a Mother's Day brunch with friends. Not only was the staff super professional and kind, but the food was also incredible! My friends are still talking about how great everything tasted and how they will be using them the next time they need to cater.

I hired Unforgettable Edibles for a Christmas Eve dinner for 12. The food was picked up around 4 pm and because of the insulated containers food was kept in, it was still quite hot when I eventually served at 6:30. The roast beef with mushroom gravy was outstanding, and the lemon basil chicken a delight. Whipped potatoes and roasted vegetables, two types of salad, rolls and butter. All guests commented on the fine meal. Great service, reasonable prices. I solidly recommend. Kevin M.

The staff was amazing! Unforgettable edibles catered and served my backyard wedding. They were professional, helpful, and attentive. Most importantly the food they served was outstanding. The carving station was delicious and the lemon chicken was out of this world. Everyone was hard working and the owners made planning our special day easy. I felt confident from our first conversation that we would have a good experience.

Unforgettable Edibles is a place I have been using since December, 1991. With two kids, birthday, Communion, graduation parties, I was a frequent customer. However, as your children grow up and move on in life my reason to "use them" became infrequent, until Christmas Eve. We were hosting our son and daughter-in-law so I decided to use Unforgettable Edibles fir our dinner.

I phoned our order in and was asked what time I would like to pick it up on Christmas Eve. I arrived at 12:15, called their phone number to let them know I was outside, but knew I was early for my 12:30 pickup time. No problem, out came a young man who placed our order in my trunk. Arriving home I found clear, concise instructions for reheating our pork tenderloin, double baked potatoes, turnip and green bean casserole meal for the evening.

We sat down and enjoyed a stupendous meal! The reheat times were spot on so our food was hot and delicious. Proportions were perfect with enough for the two guys to have some extra. Moving forward I will certainly return to using Unforgettable Edibles as part of my meal planning.

We used Unforgettable Edibles for our holiday "party" for one of our buildings at work. Due to COVID we couldn't have our usual buffet style party, but Unforgettable Edibles made alterations that worked perfectly! They were able to individually package each meal. The meals arrived hot and ready to be passed out. Residents stated that the meals were delicious and they were very satisfied.

The delivery process was also extremely easy and every employee was pleasant to work with. We will definitely keep Unforgettable Edibles in mind for upcoming events. Thank you all!

Grateful for a delicious Thanksgiving dinner from Unforgettable Edibles. Everything was tasty. It was very well prepared and packaged. The individual salad ingredients packaged separately kept them fresh and simple to toss. Directions to preheat 350 degree for all the entrees, sides and vegetables made the reheating effortless.

Excellent food. Ordered the roasted veggie quiche and berry strata for Mother's Day and it was the best I have ever had. Then ordered on Memorial Day. The chicken salad was delicious. The chicken kabobs with pesto were outstanding. Also loved the macaroni crab salad. Since presentation is everything.the packaging was fun. Red and white checkered paper between the orders on Memorial day and a tulip for Mother's day. Unforgettable Edibles has it all.

I hired Unforgettable Edibles to cater a backyard (socially distanced) bachelorette party this weekend and they absolutely nailed it. The theme of the day was travel as the bride-to-be has lived all over the world. I gave Jill and the team a list of cities to work with (Shanghai, New York, Amsterdam and her hometown, Chicago) and they came up with an incredible menu of individually wrapped small bites to cover the map. Shrimp Shumai and eggrolls, lox crostini, bitterballen, and of course, some Chicago dogs and pizza.

It was perfect. The bride was in tears and the guests raved. I highly suggest hiring this team for your next event. They made sure we felt safe and the food was delicious. Top notch!

Picked up a flank steak dinner tonight at Unforgettable Edibles while sheltering in place. Do not forego the double baked potatoes. Yummy!

I found Unforgettable Edibles through a Google search and was thrilled to see it was a woman-owned business operating in my neighborhood. I needed catering done for an outdoor party I was having for about 30 people, and the ladies did not disappoint. The skirt steak was so tender and delicious, and their cornbread with honey butter literally disappeared within 15 minutes of being put out! I had such a great experience with Mary Ellen and the gang, and I will gladly order from them again!

Unforgettable Edibles catered a baby shower that I co-hosted and did a splendid job. The food was delicious (as I knew it would be because I've attended any number of UE-catered events over the years) and the presentation was beautiful. The servers worked very hard to make sure our guests were served and the food trays were replenished. Many of our guests took the time to comment on how friendly they were, too! The office staff was very helpful and the deliveries were on schedule. Lots to like, nothing to complain about. Great people to work with.

We used Unforgettable Edibles for our office luncheon yesterday and overall we were very pleased. I called on Friday for a Monday 1200pm delivery and they accommodated our every request. The gal that took my order was very helpful when I asked questions about each menu item. The set up staff was polite, neat and friendly. The quality of food was above average. There were even individual labels placed in front of each item, which our employees really appreciated. I will definitely use this company again.

My friends and I selected Unforgettable Edibles to supply the food and servers for a luncheon reception following a memorial mass at Misericordia. The sandwiches and salads were delicious and plentiful! There was a run on the turkey and bacon sandwich and next time I'll double that quantity as guests were returning for seconds and thirds! The lemon orzo salad was amazing and the fruit salad was definitely fresh today, not leftover from yesterday.

Our waitstaff, Moira and Jonathan? Let's put it this way: there's nothing better than hosting a party and never having to involve yourself in the little stupid things like "we are running low on this" or "could you refresh the coffee?" They were Johnny on the Spot at every corner and we really appreciated their attention to detail.

I came across U.E. online a few years ago and never looked back! Their prices are reasonable, the food is amazing and the service is outstanding. They are so easy to work with, very accommodating of special requests. I arrange catering for events at work. We get compliments all the time, especially on the side salads. It's hard to please a large group of strangers when you are serving a basic sandwich lunch but they always make it special.

We have a caterer in our building but their prices are high, food and service are terrible. There were always errors such as delivering coffee with no cups! It was their incompetence that led me to look for an alternative so I guess I'm grateful to them. I have spread the word among other divisions at my company and other tenants in the building. Can't recommend U.E. enough!

I am writing to rave about Unforgettable Edibles. We needed help with a party on short notice. Jill and her professional crew were able to provide excellent service and delicious and wonderful edibles for our party. Our guests were very impressed, and many inquired about the catchy name of Unforgettable Edibles. The fare provided was truly unforgettable.

We used Unforgettable Edibles to help us with a morning after wedding brunch in my house this past Sunday. I can't say enough good things about the entire experience. The process was easy and drama-free. from decision on menu to cleanup, this company made the whole thing possible! Our two person, mom and son crew were delightful, too! We had over 75 people in my little home in Skokie and everyone thought I was kinda crazy to even think it was possible but afterwards, we received so many compliments.

It was the perfect, delicious finishing touch before everyone hit the road to go home! I would highly recommend Unforgettable Edibles for a professional, lovely, and delicious event-can't wait to use them again!

My husband and I used Unforgettable Edibles as our wedding caterer for our May 21 wedding. As we do not live in Chicago, most of the planning was done over the phone and via email. Jill was a total professional throughout the entire process. We were able to have a tasting with her on a visit to Chicago. She was very accommodating of our schedules and fit us in when we were in town.

The owner encouraged us to try short ribs for one of the meal options. It was an unusual choice for a wedding but was absolutely delicious. All of the meal options were very tasty and the portion sizes were perfect. They were super accommodating with dietary needs and very organized. In addition to catering, the team set up the whole room. I simply sent pictures of how I wanted the tables set up, and they made it happen. Jill gave very helpful recommendations all along the way as she had worked in the space before.

We ordered the chairs, linens and cutlery though UE as well. Jill was very patient with me throughout the selection process, and we were so happy with the room set up and the food. It was so easy to work with them, their quality was great, they were super friendly, and their prices were reasonable. We also really liked supporting an all-women business. I highly recommend Unforgettable Edibles for your next event.

I don't even know where to begin! My family and I were struggling to find a good catering company for the south side of Chicago for my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary Party. Not only were they willing to travel, they provided the hardest working wait staff and the food was absolutely AMAZING! Unforgettable Edibles was extremely professional I will definitely use them again and wont hesitate to refer them to others. Our guests of 60+ were throughly impressed. Thank you UE for being apart of my parents 50th Wedding Anniversary Celebration! Suzie Robinson

Unforgettable Edibles recently provided us with the most amazing catering service for our wedding (5/28/16). Our guests were thoroughly impressed with everything they ate and many said it was the best food they had ever had at a wedding. Some appetizers our guests cant stop raving about include the lobster endive boats and the lamb chop lollipops.

For the main course many of our guests loved the Filet that they ordered. It was well worth the price as people didn't leave feeling hungry and they were served a nice portion instead of a tiny little piece of beef. We would be glad to recommend them to ANYONE and would love to use them again in the future. The staff is simply amazing.

We had our wedding reception at the Irish American Heritage Center in NW Chicago in March 2015, and Unforgettable Edibles did the catering for us -- and really took care of so many little and big things for us over the weeks leading up to the wedding, it's hard to believe they were technically "only the caterers" and not full-on wedding coordinators.

We worked with Jill in particular, and she was consistently knowledgable, patient, no-nonsense (nice for the hubs especially), and gave great advice and perspective throughout our experience. During the wedding week itself, we had so many last-minute changes (not something I ever like) that I was sure Jill would pull me aside and say, "You know what, we just can't do x, y, or z, it's too late", but she never did.

She was sooo patient and kept me calm, and even took on a little bit of an Olivia Pope aura. ("It's handled.") Oh, and also the food was amazing, of course -- it got rave reviews from the critical elder crowd as well as the foodies. The cocktail-hour bites were amazing, and the waitstaff were fantastic. The hubs and I like to say that we're never getting married again (you know: it's crazy stressy even while it's the Most Wonderful Day Of Your Life!) -- but if we did, we would absolutely hire Jill and her team again, hands down. Thank you so very much for a spectacular reception, Unforgettable Edibles!

We were planning my mother and her twin sister's 90th birthday party, and needed a caterer for nearly 200 people. I remembered having excellent food from Unforgettable Edibles at other events, and we called them. My sister contacted them, and the staff was helpful and friendly from the beginning of planning through the setup and service at the party.

Everyone loved the food, and I can't emphasize enough how helpful and accommodating the staff people were. My vegetarian daughter loved their cucumber and cream cheese sandwiches, and we appreciated their efforts to substitute gluten-free items for several people who can't eat gluten. The chicken croissant sandwiches were delicious, as were the assorted crostini, particularly the goat cheese and asparagus. Again, their helpfulness and willingness to work with us on adjusting to our needs makes their business stand out. I am definitely using them again.

Unforgettable Edibles regularly caters lunch for our office and while I cannot speak to working with them directly, their food is always AMAZING! We've switched over to ordering from them directly more often instead of using a corporate delivery service, and the quality of food is fantastic (especially their desserts - yum). On one of their first deliveries, they brought us soup with two options - one with meat, and one without.

The soup without meat (potato leek) was made with chicken broth, so our two vegetarians were unable to eat either. When we let them know, they made sure to always ensure vegetarian options were available going forward. Other companies goof this up frequently, so we were impressed! They're very friendly and always arrive on time. Highly recommend!

Unforgettable Edibles was wonderful to work with from day one. We hired U.E. to cater a luncheon and they did a beautiful job; presentation was top notch and the food was delicious. Jill was knowledgeable and patient (patient given that I was emailing constantly and calling at the last minute to increase our food count) and she handled everything with ease. We ordered food for 48 and had plenty leftover. I highly recommend the ham & cheese quiche, dill Dijon potato salad and the mini assorted sandwiches. Shop local!

When you turn 40, you just have to go big or go home. That's why I had UE cater my 40th birthday this summer. We were pleased with how everything turned out. The party was at our home and we had 2 gals to help with food and 1 bartender. We ended up with 7 or 8 heavy hordeurves and there was more than enough food. The ladies were professional, so friendly and kept our house nice and tidy.

We rented a few high boys, bar tending table, linens and used their glassware. It was nice not to have to worry about washing dishes. They cut my cake for me at the end of the evening and by the time it was the end of the 6 hours we paid for their services, my kitchen was spotless and they arranged the remaining food with labels and to-go containers. Couldn't have been easier. I would highly recommend them and look forward to being able to cater another event with Unforgettable Edibles!
