Orland Park is the farthest town on this list, thirty-six miles from the Yorkville kitchen, a suburb in Cook County where LaGrange Road and 159th Street are the main roads. A drive that long makes the most sense for a larger event, such as a fundraiser, a retirement party or a big family celebration. Delivery to Orland Park is quoted by distance when you order, and pick-up at 109 E Hydraulic Ave is always available. We plan the route the night before and the driver texts when five minutes out.
We have fed a gala of 2,000 guests, so a dinner for 200 is within what one kitchen and one planner can run. Buffet Menu 3 at $20.99 per person offers carved sirloin, chicken cordon bleu, cod, brisket and salmon. Servers are $35 per hour with a four-hour minimum, there is a $50 event production fee and a 20% service charge. Staffed events need 14 days' notice. A written quote lists everything.
A room of 60 wants variety without a long line. Buffet Menu 2 at $19.99 per person brings chicken piccata, roast turkey, Yankee pot roast and pork chops. For the first hour, serve platters: jumbo chilled shrimp at $95 for 60 and prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears at $74 for 60. On-site carving is $150. Buffets start at 20 guests, and the guest count can go up any time before the balance is paid.
A smaller order still works if you plan around the distance. Executive boxed lunches are $16.50 each with a 20-box minimum, and a sandwich platter is $79. Trays and platters have no minimum. Tell us the time the meeting starts and we schedule the van to arrive before it. If you need only a few trays, ask for a pick-up time and a delivery quote at once, then compare. The written quote shows food, delivery and tax on one sheet before you commit.

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!!!”
