Catering in Oak Brook, IL

Oak Brook sits right on I-88 and along Butterfield Road in DuPage County, twenty-eight miles from our Yorkville kitchen, and it is known for its offices and corporate campuses. That makes it a weekday town for us: breakfast before an early meeting, boxed lunches at noon, platters for a reception. Delivery to Oak Brook is quoted by distance when you order, and pick-up at 109 E Hydraulic Ave is always an option. We plan the route the night before and the driver texts when five minutes out.

What to know before you order

Executive boxed lunches for a meeting room

The Executive Boxed Lunch is $16.50 and the Basic is $14.50, both individually boxed on fresh baked French rolls, with a 20-box minimum. Pair them with bottled water or soft drinks at $2.49 each. Give the order three days and tell us the time the meeting starts. The corporate lunch page explains formats and lead times. A written quote lists every price before you commit, and the quote stays valid for 14 days.

Early meetings and breakfast

For a 7:30 meeting, the Continental Breakfast is $11.99 per person and vegetarian, and the Basic Breakfast Buffet is $16.99 per person. Coffee for 50 servings is $89. The driver texts five minutes before arrival, so someone can meet the van at the door. Orange juice, apple juice or coffee is also available at $2.49 per person in eight-ounce servings. Order three days ahead and give us the exact start time so the setup is finished before your first guest walks in.

Receptions and client events

For an open house or a product reception, a platter order covers the room. Jumbo chilled shrimp is $95 for 60 pieces, prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears are $74 for 60 and an assorted cheese tray with crackers is $69 for 60 pieces. Hot hors d'oeuvres such as bacon wrapped dates at $74 for 40 come on trays too. Servers are $35 per hour if you want the room staffed.

“My wife and I had Upper Crust for our wedding. They did an absolutely fantastic job! 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!!”

“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!!!”

Questions

Catering in Oak Brook, answered

More in the full FAQ, or call (630) 553-9533.

Do you deliver to office buildings with a front desk?
Yes. Give us a contact with a cell phone and the name to give the front desk. The driver texts five minutes before arriving, so your contact can meet the van and direct it to the right entrance.
How do we pay for a corporate order?
Pay by card, check or ACH. A 25% deposit reserves the date and the balance is due seven days before the event. Tax-exempt organizations give us a certificate before the invoice, and the quote stays valid for 14 days.
Can we change the headcount for a meeting?
Headcount can go up any time before the balance is paid. After the deposit it can drop by up to 10%. Boxed lunches start at 20 boxes, so for a smaller group order a sandwich platter at $79 instead.
How much is catering delivery to Oak Brook?
Delivery to Oak Brook is a flat $70. That covers the drive (about 56 minutes from our Yorkville kitchen), set-up of a buffet, and the driver texting you when they are five minutes away. Pick-up at 109 E Hydraulic Ave, Yorkville is free.
How far ahead should I book for an event in Oak Brook?
3 days for a drop-off order and 14 days for a staffed event is comfortable. Weddings and graduation weekends in May and June book months out; funeral luncheons we can often do with a day's notice.
Can you deliver food to my office?
Yes. Boxed lunches, hot buffets and breakfast arrive at the delivery time you choose. We deliver across Kendall, Kane, Will and DuPage counties.
Some guests have allergies or dietary restrictions. What do I do?
Tell us in advance. Our chefs prepare separate meals for vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal or allergy-specific guests. There is a dietary notes box on every order.
Can you provide staff for my event?
Certainly. Our servers set up and maintain the buffet, clear tables, and break down and pack your leftovers. Staff is $35 per hour per server with a four-hour minimum, plus a 20% service charge shared with the whole team.
Is a deposit required?
Yes. Weddings take a 20% deposit of the estimated cost. Other events take 25%, paid online when you accept the quote. Deposits are non-refundable and are credited toward your balance, which is due seven days before the event.
