Corky's Catering

Corky's catered my wedding in Chicago in June 2022. Kristina was extremely responsive and flexible throughout the entire process. When our wedding coordinator backed out at the last minute, Bethany stepped in to help. We were very lucky to have worked with both of them. The food was also very tasty!

This place is by far one or the very best BBQ places I've ever been to AMAZING! Specially their brisket

The food was delivered in time and was in great packing and the food was excellent. I will use the Corky's catering again in the future for my needs.

I have been using Corky's for at least 8 years at my school for homecoming, other dances and now prom and have never had anything, but a wonderful experience! So much so that I still have alumni students asking me to let them know when I will be ordering the BBQ wings!

Everything with Corky's was seamless; from ordering to delivery. I had a party of 30 women and we ordered tea sandwiches that were beautiful and tasty. Thank you Corky's for making our women's social a beautiful event.

Corky's is such a Great Company! I have been using them for years! Always on time and food is always great! Top Notch service from speaking to them on the phone, through communication via emails to delivery service! Best value too!

This is my second catering order with Corky's and they did not disappoint! My guests loved the food! When I placed my order they were able to customize the package to fit the needs of my group. Corky's will be my forever go to spot for all of my events! Thank you Corky's for professional service and quality food!

Great chicken.and the chicken strip are excellent, not out of a bag.you need a lunch or dinner catered, use corkys

Food was delicious. All our employees enjoyed the food. I would give it 10 + stars

We had a wonderful experience with Corky's. First of all, The food was delicious! Our guests loved every dish. The service was on point and all communication was perfect! I was very satisfied and will call them again!

I worked for Corky's for 2 years, holidays, summers, forest preserves, I could go on and on. My wife Julie at that time was as efficient, 2 vehicles Saturday & Sunday, as she also demo d WEBER GAS GRILLS.FUN TIMES, LEFT OVER KABABS.

We recently celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary and the whole experience with Kristina from the first inquiry to getting the final quote was very pleasant. We had many questions that were answered timely. Customer service was great and the food was amazing. Thank you and your staff for your participation in making our 50th anniversary a hit. Everyone enjoyed the food, my Complements to the Chef, and your staff was professional and on point with preparing and serving the food.

My husband and I hired Corky's Catering for our winter wedding at Garfield Park Conservatory after reading many positive reviews about the company. We couldn't have been happier with our decision! We dealt with Kristina Hickey who was extremely professional throughout the entire process, answered all of our questions, took notes of what was important to us, and removed any stress associated with planning a wedding.

What was really a nice touch is that she had bottles of Korbel champagne, my mother-in-law's favorite, after we briefly mentioned that was her preferred brand. It was those thoughtful touches that made the day extra special! We did a food tasting ahead of time and were blown away by the options and how delicious the food was. My guests are still raving about the food and how Kristina and her team handled everything so nicely; and not just with the food, but the overall set up of the venue.

Everyone on her team showed up on time, looked wonderful in their white and black attire and were courteous with guests throughout the evening. When you hire the right people for your wedding, the stress level completely disappears. Throughout the few months leading up to my wedding, my friends and family often commented on how calm I seemed, and that's because I hired the right team. Words can't really express how deeply grateful we are to Corky's for all the work they did to ensure our special day was phenomenal!

I hired Corky's to cater a day event for me. The week before the event, I received an email of the invoices to be sure all info was correct and to make any changes if needed. I noticed the delivery address was wrong so I corrected the address. Day 1 was perfect. The woman that delivered the food was wonderful. She even set everything up for us before she left which I was thrilled with.

Day 2 not so much. I received a call from the delivery guy saying he was at the location. I informed him that I just arrived and that I'd meet him in front of the building. Five minutes pasted and I called him back asking where he was at. He told me his location and I gave him a references to look for so he'd find the entrance. I had to call him back again to see where he was at and I asked him what town he was in.

Well he was in the wrong town. I gave him the address twice and told him south of Lake St. Not 10 seconds later, he says "so North of Lake St?" I called him 15 mins later and he's on the wrong side of the building. I finally get him there and he unloads the order. First words out of his mouth was "they have the wrong address". Not, I'm sorry or my apologies for the mix up.

I signed the receipt and he was gone faster than he got there. I don't understand why the billing address was the shipping address when I made the change the week before. I'll think twice before using Corky's again.

We ordered fried chicken and Baked Mostaccioli package for 50 people two days before our 4th of July party. They were the only place we could find that would deliver to us past 3pm. Both the chicken and pasta were delicious. I would order from them again.

Went to an event that was a sit down dinner recently that used Corky's. I was not impressed with the food, it was slop on a plate. Meat was gross and sides not much better. Service was awful as it to took forever to serve food to everyone. By the time some people got food others had finished. I gave it two stars because staff was super friendly and on top of cleaning up tables when people finished.

Used corkeys for my daughter's first birthday party. Everyone loved the food. Delivered on time. Set up was fast. The delivery person was very nice. All around great choice. I fully intend on using them again.

12-17-18 I ordered catering for my family (20 people) for Christmas eve dinner using their Holiday Menu. Keep in mind you will be charged $10 fee because it's for a Holiday. I've placed my order via email and they contacted me within 48 hrs. Easy to place the order and overall simple process. I placed the order for drop-off on the 24th of December.

Right now my rating is at the middle, 3 star at A-ok. Hopefully that will change for the better. I will update and keep you guys informed of my overall experience with pictures to follow involving this catering company.

I used them for a wedding shower. We had herb chicken and three cheese ravioli with potato salad and side salad. Everyone loved the food! I had never ordered these two main items before, but I highly recommend both. Ordering was easy and she was so helpful! Delivery was right in the middle of the timing window and he was very cordial and friendly. I would not hesitate to use them again.

I ordered for a Saturday kids party for 40 people. The food came on time and everyone loved it! I had a ton of leftovers and everything went perfectly from first phone contact and emails to the delivery. Thanks, I will definitely order again.

We have been using Corky's for years. From ordering to the delivery, what a pleasure doing business with. All my guests always ask who catered. The food is awesome! Thanks for yet another great party with great food!

Dear Matthew, It has been two years and you have now decided to provide a VERY lengthy response to my review. Better late than never.? The good news is- I have now tried Corky's catering at both a wedding and fundraiser! The bad news is- I still give you one star. The catering services of yours that I have experienced were ok- there were even some decent highlights in the appetizers especially from what I recall. (I won't include food details here because it's sort of weird to talk about things that happened a long time ago through Yelp, in my humble opinion.) But the service experience I had with you stands out as a horrible one for these reasons: 1) published prices that were not honored in any way.

I worked with 10+ catering companies to get quotes that were in line with two different potential venues and absolutely zero of them were as unprofessional and inconsistent as Corky's was. 2) incompetent sales people and a system that passed me from person to person with no explanation after phone calls and emails sat unanswered, so I had to start from scratch with each person, and 3) This ridiculous response that is both patronizing and catty.

The correct response would have been to write back to with a sincere apology and a pledge to improve, not a DETAILED EXPLANATION OF EVERY REASON WHY YOU THINK I'M WRONG- TWO YEARS LATER. So, go forth and make it better Matthew. But don't try to pick a fight two years later that you already lost.

Corky's catered our wedding this weekend and the food was amazing. Samantha, our coordinator at Corky's was amazing! Her food picks were way better than mine :) 9 times out of 10 my husband and I went with her picks. They made our day so easy on us.from the food, to set up, linens, center pieces! They helped us pull off a beautiful wedding! The food was wonderful! The service seamless and the price was right! BOOK Em'! :)

Honestly ecstatic about this company right now. I'm so impressed with the details of their work. They think of everything! We ordered for a barbecue for 50 people. Everyone raved about the fried chicken and Mac & cheese. What a great, great company.

Corky's catered our wedding (~160 guests) this past weekend, and the food was delicious! As someone who is typically not a fan of wedding food, I was really impressed with their dishes. Guests also raved about the food after the wedding. In addition to taste, their catering was very affordable. Corky's beat out the prices of every caterer we had previously looked at and worked very hard to stay within our budget.

We did a double take on the final cost; it was a steal! Other places would have charged double for the amount of food (especially proteins) they cooked for our wedding. I would certainly use them again for a big event.

I had Corky's cater for my wedding. It was a buffet style with beef, chicken, mostaccioli, corn & potato wedges. Everyone loved the food. I even got a compliment from someone who went to a wedding in the Willis Tower the weekend before, they said that our food was better than theirs. The only thing that bothered me, was that I had A LOT of food left over, almost half.

I told the catering company that my count went down about 50 people, but they insisted that I kept the count at 150 people instead of 100. This caused me to have a ton of food left over & having to divide it up among families at the end of the wedding. Wish they would have calculated better, especially since my biggest cost was the food.

Finding catering for my wedding has been a nightmare. I am so glad I came across Corky's! The prices are very reasonable and the food at our tasting was fantastic! I hope that everything is the same for the wedding! So far so good!

Corky's will make you get porky! ha ah ah I'm not sure what they are putting in their food, but it deserves 5 stars for taste alone. *shudders* Kisses fingers just pure goodness! Corky's caters the kind of food that you can't eat everyday, but then again why would you want to eat a holiday spread everyday, right? It's good enough to make you wish you could.

The turkey separates from the bone like it was cut with a high powered laser! The sides - mashed potatos, green beans, macoroni and cheese are fit for a king! The staff is courteous, responsive, and very organized. Corky's delivers to my job every holiday and when it's lunch time the employees say, "It's time to get Corky's!";
