Just moved to Chicago and this has been one of my best food experiences so far. The grilled cheese sandwich and salad were absolutely delicious, with great flavor and presentation. Friendly service, fair prices, and definitely a spot worth trying!
Happy Belly Catering is exceptional. We catered an Engagement Party through Happy Belly and the food was beautiful and delicious. The owners were amazing and got back to me very quickly on questions. Very highly recommend.
Everything I've tried at Happy Belly is delicious and unlike anything else around here. I highly recommend their dine-in and catering. We used them for a work party and they were fantastic- great selection, easy to work with, professional, and the food was out of this world!
I recently had the pleasure of trying Happy Belly at Workforce Brewing in Plainfield, and I was absolutely blown away by their Italian Cheese Steak. As someone who regularly makes trips to Chicago just to enjoy a Philly’s Best cheesesteak, I can honestly say that this one from Happy Belly IS the best I’ve ever had. The Italian Cheese Steak was a work of art. The steak was sliced thin, cooked to perfection, and had that tender, juicy texture that every steak lover dreams of. The mozzarella was melted just right, creating a luscious, creamy layer that paired beautifully with the meat. The peppers and onions were sautéed to a soft, sweet perfection, adding depth and richness to every bite. The cherry pepper aioli was the perfect finishing touch. It was the perfect touch that brought the flavors together in a harmonious way. And then there’s the garlic roll—crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and infused with just the right amount of garlic flavor. It held everything together without getting soggy, making each bite an absolute joy. Every element of this sandwich was executed flawlessly, and it all combined to create a cheesesteak experience that I won’t soon forget. If you find yourself in Plainfield, a stop at Happy Belly is a must. You won’t be disappointed!
Had the steak sandwich and the meatball sub, was fantastic. Portions, taste, sides, everything was 10/10 for a quick lunch along with the great Kolsh from werkforce. Great to see this in the neighborhood!
Everything is freshly made! That is incredible. The food is very good. Because they make everything fresh for you, it’s a good idea to call and order in. Chicken kahri was very good. A lot of seating available to bring a big group
Great food and service and lovely people! Catered my 20th Annual Martini Party and ordered the Lemon Rosemary Chicken, the vodka rigatoni and the Italian stuffed mushrooms. Easy pick up and great cooking instructions, even for me, a non-cook. Highly recommend getting their catering tray and stereos. Everything fits perfectly. Thank you!
This place is inside of the Werkforce taproom. We come here often enough that the owners, two formally trained chefs, know my wife and I. My favorite is the grilled cheese. The tomato dipping sauce is crazy good. Really though, I've liked everything that I've tried in the menu. Nice that you can have a beer with your lunch if you want, or take it out to Ten Drops next door.
We had Happy Belly catered for our wedding (110 guests) and it was a HUGE hit!! All of our guests had so many positive remarks (ESPECIALLY REGARDING THE CIDER BRAISED PORK!) Kelly and Kathy were incredible from the mini tasting to the day of! Could no recommend them enough!!
If you're searching for the ultimate catering experience, look no further than Happy Belly Chefs! They recently catered our Grand Opening for our real estate brokerage, and the food was nothing short of spectacular. Every bite was a burst of flavor, leaving our guests raving about the culinary delights for days. From innovative appetizers to mouth-watering main courses, each dish showcased their culinary mastery. Not only was the food amazing, but working with Happy Belly Chefs was a dream.
