Northbrook's Hometown Caterer Since 1967 · 1342 Shermer Rd.
From Allstate and Crate & Barrel to Northbrook's family neighborhoods, top-rated schools, and community celebrations — Little Louie's has been bringing handcrafted burgers, Italian beef, and Chicago-style hot dogs to Northbrook events for over 55 years. Pick-up & delivery, onsite catering, or food truck — right in your backyard.

Northbrook's Home Team — Feeding This Community Since 1967
Little Louie's isn't just a Northbrook restaurant — we're a Northbrook institution. Located at 1342 Shermer Road, we've been part of this community for over 55 years. We've fed the teams at Allstate and UL, catered graduation parties for Glenbrook North and Glenbrook South families, served corporate lunches along Skokie Boulevard, and brought the food truck to backyard parties from Dundee Road to Techny Road.
When you hire Little Louie's to cater your Northbrook event, you're not calling a caterer who shows up and doesn't know the area. You're calling your neighbors.
The Northbrook Business Community Runs on Great Food
Northbrook is one of the North Shore's most active business communities — home to Allstate Corporation, Crate & Barrel, Underwriters Laboratories, Bell Flavors & Fragrances, and over 3,000 businesses employing more than 45,000 people. When your team needs a catered lunch, a client appreciation event, or a company holiday party, we're minutes away and ready to deliver.
Pick-up & delivery for office meals you want to keep simple and fast. Onsite catering when you want our team handling every detail. And the Food Truck when you want a corporate event your employees will actually look forward to.
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.
