Hoffman Estates 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.

“Frato’s catered my daughter’s graduation open house and I couldn’t believe the quality. Everyone asked where the food came from. The chef set everything up and we didn’t have to worry about a thing.”

Your Neighbor in the Northwest Suburbs
Hoffman Estates (60169, 60192) isn’t just in our delivery area. It’s practically next door. With 52,530 residents and one of the most diverse populations in Chicagoland (26% Asian, 16% Hispanic), Hoffman Estates is home to everything from global corporate headquarters to world-class entertainment venues. The 750-acre Prairie Stone Business Park alone employs over 10,000 people.
The village’s employers include Claire’s (headquarters), Siemens Medical Systems, FANUC America, Liberty Mutual, Vistex and Wells Fargo — companies that need catering that reflects their standards. St. Alexius Medical Center staff deserve lunch that doesn’t come from a vending machine.
We’re less than 2 miles from our Schaumburg kitchen — closer than most pizza deliveries. From corporate lunches at Prairie Stone to concerts at NOW Arena (right off I-90 and Route 59) to galas at Stonegate Banquet Centre — we know Hoffman Estates because we’re practically neighbors.
Why Hoffman Estates Businesses Choose Frato’s
Hoffman Estates is a village of headquarters. Claire’s operates their global retail empire from Prairie Stone. Japanese manufacturing giants like FANUC chose Hoffman Estates for their American operations. When you’re hosting clients, partners, or employees at this level, the catering has to match.
We also understand that Hoffman Estates is one of the most diverse communities in the Chicago suburbs. That’s why we offer halal options, vegetarian menus, and cuisines that reflect your team — from Italian to Mexican to Asian-inspired dishes. All scratch-made, all delivered by a trained chef.
Tired of “Catering” That’s Just Reheated Factory Food?
You’ve tried the chains. Panera trays that taste like yesterday. Jason’s Deli spreads that scream “we didn’t try.” Corporate lunch boxes where the chicken is rubber and the sides are an afterthought.
Here’s the thing: Hoffman Estates deserves better. You’re home to global headquarters and world-class venues. Your catering should match.
Hoffman Estates office managers who take care of their teams don’t settle for factory trays.
