Why Choose Our Side Dishes
Twelve reasons Chicagoland families keep our sides on the dinner table.
Cooked This Morning, Never Frozen
The frozen tray you thaw was made weeks ago in a factory far from here. Ours went into the oven this morning in our own kitchen, which is why the vegetables still have bite and the pasta still has texture.
On the Table in About Three Minutes
Nothing here needs prep. The cooking is already done, the heating time is on the label, and most sides are hot in 2 to 3 minutes. No pans to scrub afterwards either.
Priced Like a Side, Not a Splurge
Sides start at $5.75 at our advance-order price. Your first order takes $20 off on its own, and choosing a day ahead trims about 15% more off whatever you pick.
Order One Side or Twenty. No Plan Needed.
There is no weekly box to pause, no bulk order to commit to and no minimum to reach. Order a single container of mac and cheese on a Tuesday and nothing happens on Wednesday unless you ask.
The Menu Is Different Tomorrow
Roasted vegetables one day, baked pasta the next, potato salad when the weather turns warm. With 45+ choices posted daily across every category, the rotation keeps side dishes from getting predictable.
Sort Out the Whole Week in One Sitting
The next seven days of menus are already up. Pick the sides for each night now and they arrive fresh each afternoon, which takes one more decision off the end of your day.
Nothing Hidden in the Ingredients
Everything we cook is listed out: what went into it, which allergens it carries and what the nutrition numbers are. If you are counting sodium or carbs, the answer is in front of you before you order.
From a Lisle Kitchen, in a Meal Village Van
We cook here and we drive here. No gig courier ever picks up your order, which is how a side dish made at nine in the morning is still on your doorstep the same afternoon.
14,000+ Customers and Counting
Across 120+ Chicagoland zip codes, more than 14,000 people order from us, and our rating averages 4.6+ stars on Google, Yelp and the other review sites where they say what they think.
A Person Answers, Every Time
Call (888) 610-2232 between 9 AM and 7 PM on a weekday and someone local picks up. No menu tree to sit through, no chatbot and no call center on another continent.
It Tastes Like Someone Cooked It
The cheese sauce is made here, the potatoes are cut here and olive oil does most of the work. That is why our sides taste closer to a home kitchen than to a restaurant line, with less grease to show for it.
Generous Portions, Not Token Scoops
Plenty of delivery services send a side dish barely worth opening. Ours are generously sized, so a container earns its place next to whatever else is on the plate.
Side Dish Delivery Questions
What Chicagoland customers ask us before their first side dish order.
Yes. There is no subscription and no minimum, so a single container of mac and cheese is a perfectly normal order. Place it by 12:00 PM and it reaches you the same afternoon.
It depends on the dish. Some are sized for one person and others are built for a table, and the menu tells you which is which before you add anything to your cart.
Fresh. Each side dish is cooked in our Lisle, Illinois kitchen and driven out the same day by our own drivers, so there is no freezer stage, no ice pack and no shipping carton in between.
Very little. Everything is already cooked, and the heating time is printed on the container: usually 2 to 3 minutes in the microwave or 10 to 15 minutes in a 350 degree F oven. Cold sides such as potato salad and the veggie tray go straight to the table.
No. The menu turns over daily with 45+ choices across entrees, sides, soups, salads, juices and desserts, and the coming week is posted in advance so you can see what is on the way.
We do. You can browse the low sodium and low carb choices on our menu, and the ingredients, allergens and nutrition numbers sit alongside every side dish so you can check what fits before you order.
We deliver Monday through Friday across 120+ zip codes in Chicagoland, as far north as the Wisconsin border. You can also collect for free from our Lisle hub at 4912 Main Street, weekdays between 3:30 and 7:00 PM.
