Dinner Done by Brooks — Local services in Elgin

If you’re looking for delicious food that makes your heart warm after that first bite because it brings back so many good memories of a home cooked meal, Dinner done is the place to go! My wife and I used Brooks for our wedding reception catering. We ordered Yia Yia’s Greek salad, Chicken tetrazzini, Chicken bog, and Lasagna roll ups. The portions were massive and the food was absolutely amazing and the best part was that it came with Garlic bread! After that we were hooked. We love to have get togethers for football games and game nights. The classic sliders we ordered were extraordinarily and perfect for people over or going places. I can easily say I will not be ordering from any other catering place besides dinner done. I highly recommend trying it yourself so you can taste the delicious food for yourself. Brooks was amazing, helpful and kind! You can definitely taste all the hard work and love she puts into each and every...

Dinner Done by Brooks is an absolute gem! The food truly tastes like a home-cooked meal without all the time and effort in the kitchen. The chicken bog is hands-down my favorite—packed with flavor and perfect for family dinners, with plenty left over for the next day. Their Greek salad has also become a staple in our home—always fresh, crisp, and delicious. Honestly, everything we’ve tried has been amazing.

Ordering and pickup are simple and stress-free, and the staff is always welcoming. I also love that you get to meet Chef Brooks herself—it makes the experience even more personal. The weekly specials are a fun bonus, but it’s the chicken bog that keeps me coming back. If you’re looking for fresh, ready-to-bake meals that feel just like home cooking, this...

Dinner Done by Brooks is nothing short of amazing! The moment I walked in, the aroma of the food was mouthwatering. I was just there to pick up an order for my boss, but I ended up having a great conversation with the owner—truly one of the nicest people I’ve ever met.

Before I left, I mentioned that I’m a college student, and she surprised me with a free Chicken Bog entrée. That kind of kindness and generosity is so rare these days, and it left a lasting impression on me. Later that night, I heated it up and shared it with my roommates. Within minutes, the dish was completely gone—we all agreed it was the best Chicken Bog we’d ever had.
