Catering Out The Box LLC - Catering in Chicago

4300 W Lake St, Chicago 60624

Overview :

Catering should make gathering easier, not add stress. Since 2003, Catering Out The Box has brought fresh food and attentive service to Chicago workplaces and special events. Founded by Anthony Waller, we began with a simple idea: provide quality box lunches with fresh ingredients, appealing presentation, and affordable prices. Over time, we grew into a full-service catering business for meetings, weddings, banquets, and private celebrations. Today, we serve groups of different sizes, with delivery for everyday meals and custom catering for special occasions.

Our workday catering includes breakfast, box lunches, salads, sandwiches, wraps, soups, platters, and buffet-style meals. Popular choices include chef salad, a build-your-own taco bar, boxed lunches, Italian pasta dishes, jambalaya, and a Southern-style buffet with baked chicken, macaroni and cheese, collard greens, and corn muffins. We also offer vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free menu choices to accommodate different dietary preferences.

For receptions and special occasions, we prepare hors d’oeuvres such as beef kabobs, chili-lime chicken, shrimp bites, stuffed mushrooms, and other small plates. We work with clients on custom menus and also provide event planning, floral arrangements, and custom cakes. Our trained team includes planners, servers, bartenders, and chefs, allowing us to support both convenient delivery orders and events with on-site service.

Located at 4300 W Lake Street in Chicago, we also focus on supporting our local community. Our team has provided meals for first responders, healthcare professionals, and Chicago Public Schools teachers. Whether a client needs breakfast for a meeting, lunch for a team, or food and service for a wedding or retirement celebration, we aim to deliver on time, maintain food quality, and make planning straightforward.
