Algonquin Favorites
Swipe through the favorites, then open any one for the full menu.
Rosemary Prime Rib
Slow-roasted, rosemary-marinated prime rib. Available as trays or full buffet bars. The dish that makes your holiday party the one people actually remember.
Vodka Chicken Parmesan
Tender breaded chicken cutlets with melted mozzarella in our scratch-made vodka cream sauce. Paired with penne alla vodka — not from a jar, not from a box. Corporate lunches will never be the same.
Holiday
“Never Dry” White Wine Turkey
White wine brined, herb roasted, slow-cooked by trained chefs. Featured on Fox News Chicago every winter because it’s the only turkey that doesn’t disappoint. Available Thanksgiving through Christmas — slots fill fast. Need it halal? We make it without the wine.
Irish Reuben Sandwich Bar
Build-your-own Reubens with scratch-made corned beef brisket — seared and slow-braised, not deli slices. Smoked option available. Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day office parties or anytime you want something different.
Gourmet Taco Bar
Build-your-own tacos. Everyone makes their own plate, so nobody has to guess what the team wants.
Mediterranean Pita Bar
Gyro and Mediterranean chicken, warm pita and tzatziki. Halal chicken and gyro are standard.
Korean BBQ Bar
Marinated Korean BBQ steak or chicken with braised potatoes, plus white rice or cold Korean pasta salad. The sauce is made from scratch.
Tikka Masala Bar
Creamy, spiced, not overwhelming heat. Halal chicken on request, certified by our suppliers.
Chicago Bowls
Build-your-own rice bowls and wraps, made with olive oil. The healthy option that still gets eaten.
