DeKalb sits on I-88 and Route 23 in DeKalb County, twenty-eight miles from the Yorkville kitchen, and it is a university town with its own graduation seasons. Family parties, department lunches and open houses are the natural fit. Delivery to DeKalb is quoted by distance when you order, and pick-up at our Yorkville kitchen is always available. We plan the route the night before, and the driver texts when five minutes out.
For an open house with a steady stream of guests, Buffet Menu 1 at $18.99 per person is the dependable choice, with herb roasted chicken, baked mostaccioli, meat loaf and pulled pork. Buffets start at 20 guests. You will want chafing dishes at $17 per hot dish and plates, napkins and silverware at $1.50 per person. May and June Saturdays go first, so call early. Guest counts can rise any time before the balance is paid.
Drop-off orders carry no service charge and trays have no minimum. Cocktail meatballs are $64 for 100 pieces, mini chicken quesadillas are $69 for 60 and the assorted cheese tray with crackers is $69 for 60. Cookies are $45 for 40. Set it out, light the burners and the party runs itself. Mini beef burritos are $69 for 40 and mini Italian sausage kebabs are $74 for 60, if your guests like something heartier than cheese.
Basic boxed lunches are $14.50 and Executive boxed lunches are $16.50, with a 20-box minimum. For a morning shift, breakfast trays serve 20 at $69. Coffee for 50 servings is $89. Give us three days and a contact name. If a department of 12 wants lunch, a sandwich platter at $79 or a deli platter at $95 has no minimum. Cookies, brownies and bottled water at $2.49 each round out the order. A written quote with every price on one sheet comes before you pay anything, and it stays valid for 14 days.

Extremely professional, great communication, fantastic food, great service, and they are very willing to do the little details if needed (flexible!). They made us feel less stressed, we could trust them, and we feel like we received great value for the price we paid. I would recommend this caterer to anyone!!”
“Upper Crust just catered my daughter's bridal shower. The food was excellent and there was plenty of it. Staff was very professional, answered all of my questions and arrived on time for set up. I would definitely recommend Upper Crust catering.”
“We had some catering done by Upper Crust for our son's high school graduation. We had used them previously for a wedding reception as well. The food is always excellent and there were so many people who said how good it was. I have always been impressed with this company. They are kind and courteous and will always answer all your questions. Great job!!!”
