Glencoe Hosts Some of the North Shore's Most Beautiful Events
Glencoe is one of the most affluent and celebrated communities on the Chicago North Shore — home to lakefront estates, tree-lined streets, and a deeply connected community that knows how to celebrate in style. With the Chicago Botanic Garden situated right within its borders, Glencoe is a natural backdrop for milestone events of every kind.
Little Louie's has been catering North Shore events since 1967. Whether you're hosting an intimate lakefront dinner party or a large bar mitzvah reception for 200 guests, we build the menu, the format, and the experience around you.
Three Ways to Bring Great Food to Your Glencoe Event
Not every Glencoe event calls for the same catering approach. A graduation open house might be perfect for pick-up and delivery. A corporate client dinner or bar mitzvah reception deserves the full onsite catering experience — our team on-site, handling everything from setup through cleanup. And for something truly memorable, Louie B. Fresh Food Truck parked in your driveway or backyard is guaranteed to get people talking.
Same great food. Three ways to get it there.
Not Sure Which Option Is Right for You?
If you want great food ready to go with no staffing overhead — Pick-Up & Delivery is your move. If you want our team to handle everything from arrival to cleanup — Onsite Catering is the right call. And if you want something that doubles as an experience — book the Food Truck.
