Happy 50th Wedding Anniversary

Occasionally we like to share customer feedback on the Catering and services we offer. For more testimonials please contact us.

This one is from, Linda from Lake Villa.

I just wanted to let everyone at Corky’s know how pleased I was with the food, the delivery and the customer service in general.  EVERYTHING WAS OUTSTANDING!!!  I did check around and I just can’t believe the huge difference in pricing – I can’t imagine anyone else being any better even though they charge three times as much.  Everything we ordered was exceptional and all that were in attendance complimented us, therefore Corkys, on the quality of the food.  I did pass out a few cards, so I sincerly hope you will get some future orders because of the great service you provided us.

Thank you again, you made the day very enjoyable for everyone!

PS. The event was for my parents 50th wedding anniversary and I remember them ordering from Corky’s for my 8th grade graduation.

Our Graduation catering services are designed to save you time and money.

For Graduation Catering we offer a full range of service options, rentals and venues. If your having a small graduation party we suggest you try our drop off with service option. Here we deliver the your food right to your door hot and ready to serve. Our server will set up and serve the food for the duration of your event, and clean up and take everything down at the end. We find our customers like this option, because it lets them enjoy the day. We can also offer, full sit down service or a traditional on site grill service. Our customers love our grill service because we bring the grills and the chefs to you. Enjoy that hot off the grill flavor as our service staff prepares your food at the location of your choice.

Picnic Catering

We are so excited that summer is here. This week is supposed to get into the 80′s, and we hope everyone will start planning their summer and graduation catering. Corky’s Chicago Catering offers the best prices in town and we guarantee it. Bring in a offer from one of our competitors and we’ll beat it by 5%. We take being the largest catering company in Chicago very seriously, and we will not be under sold. In our new pricing for the year we are trying to roll back the clocks, most of our menus are actually priced similar to what we were charging back in 2007. I can’t imagine you’ll find another catering company in Chicago that will do that!

So, lets talk picnic catering. Here is a list of new and old items that will get you craving a picnic of your own.

1.) New Italian Quesadillas – Italian sausage with three cheese mix and a special blend of Italian spices, cooked to a perfect crisp.

2.) Hong Kong Chicken Wings – A new addition to our wing line up, these wings are baked in our special spicy Hunan sauce. Try them as a combo with our buffalo wings or Honey BBQ.

3.) Mini Cheese Cakes – Delicious mini’s perfect for the office or the park, this New York style cheesecake is as close to mom’s as I can remember. Call for flavor details.

4.) Corky’s Famous Fried Chicken – This recipe has not changes since 1978, we fell in love with it then and we love it just as much 32 years later.

5.) Corky’s Famous BBQ Fried Chicken – The next best thing to our Fried Chicken is our BBQ Fried Chicken. We take the original recipe, slather it in our own special BBQ sauce and throw it back on the grill for that crispy caramelized sweet flavor

6.) Watermelon Baskets – A seasonal item that we bring back in the spring. We take a large watermelon cut it into a beautiful basket and fill it with the freshest fruit available.

So, there are 6 great picnic catering options that are sure to keep you smiling. There are more new items that are coming out, but are still in development. Keep your eye out for our next post.
