We had our party catered by Picnic Basket last night and I have to say the food was ALL amazing. Our guests raved about the shrimp cocktail, super fresh and BIG shrimp. The meat kabobs and chicken were DELCIOUS and so tender, you almost didnt even need a knife to cut it. I don't live close to Libertyville but I will definitelytake that drive to have you all cater another event for us in the near future! Thank you for filling our guests tummies with your amazing cooking!

We tried Picnic Basket for the first time and bought Super Combo Sandwich with soup. Also, bought cheese quesadilla for kids. The quesadilla size was huge we ended up buying only one for both kids. Was planning to buy their salads and the staff even let us try the flavor since we were having it for the first time. Bought veggie sandwich with Indian lentil soup and it was fresh and delicious. Will visit soon again.

We booked Gourmet Food Works as our caterer for our wedding. Their food was phenomenal! They were really accommodating for our tasting appointment and let us bring both sets of parents even though they originally said the maximum number of guests was four. At the tasting they allowed us to choose several different entrees, appetizers and desserts to try while also preparing additional "popular" items from the menu as well.
We went with a traditional menu and had a served buffet at our wedding, providing chicken, pasta, steak and sides for each guest. Everyone raved about the food. Definitely recommend considering them for your next event.

Really great place for a sandwich in downtown Libertyville. I had the crab salad sandwich with lettuce and tomatoe. My friend had a turkey sandwich. They where both big sandwiches so go hungry. There are plenty of options. They also have combo deals with a sandwich, soup or salad, chips, and a drink at a decent price. There is free parking available all around The Picnic Basket.
Some of the parking will have a 2 hour restriction but there is also a free parking lot a block away. The staff kept the tables clean outside and sanitized during this time. They also wore masks and gloves. No indoor seating all outdoors at this time. The entrance was through the back door.
