Chicago Northshore Catering At Its Best

Texas-Style, Made-from-Scratch BBQ for All Occasions

When you’re planning a special party or event, you want the food to be good. So good that people actually talk about it. 

Slow-smoked Texas-style BBQ: Brisket, ribs, pulled pork, chicken — plus all the sides made from scratch, ready for your group, backyard, office, or your block. We handle the food. You get the compliments.

Catering for Any Occasion

With our main trays, party packs and box lunches, we make it easy to feed groups of every size and any occasion.

Office lunches & team meetings

Brisket lands differently than a stack of deli wraps. One call, one order, and your team eats like you put real thought into it. Because you did.

Graduation parties

Home, park, or venue. Whatever the location, we bring the food that makes it a celebration. Slow-smoked meats and a spread of sides that feeds the whole family.

Holiday picnics

Summer in Wilmette means parks, patios, and groups that need to eat well. We’ve got you covered with easy-to-serve, classic BBQ favorites.

Third of July

Wilmette’s biggest party of the year. Real Texas BBQ is the right call. Order early — this one books up fast.

Block parties

This is our neighborhood too. We love feeding it.

Birthdays, family reunions & more

Virtually any occasion where the food should be memorable. We’ll make it easy and delicious, too.

True Texas BBQ. No shortcuts.

Everything is prepared on Big Earl, our legit all-wood-burning smoker. Low and slow, made from scratch, no shortcuts. That’s how Texas-style BBQ is done; salt, pepper, smoke, and lots of time. The brisket speaks for itself. So do the ribs.

How It Works

Simple. Tell us your headcount. Tell us your date. Pick your favorite meats and sides, and we’ll handle everything else. Party Packs are built to feed groups without the fuss. One order, one pickup or delivery, everyone eats well.

48 hours’ notice is ideal. Same-week orders work most of the time. Summer weekends and big Wilmette event days book fast — call early.
