“Hello everybody. Nice place. Very friendly staff. Good and fresh meat. If you want to buy home stuff for taking care of your guests this place can offer useful things and for home decor also. Just try to go and see.”
“This place has fresh produce . Very clean inside is what I noticed right away.
The cashier what so nice and the butcher what incredibly knowledgeable about good food. A+ ill be back for the carnitas”
“Catered a lamb with all the trimmings!!! Meat was soft and tender and they did an excellent job!!! There hummus and falafel are awesome!!!! Ask for Malik!! Great guy”
“Very clean place, the meat is very high quality, I always recommend coming here, the prices are the best on Harlem as well. I’ve read the other reviews but they don’t seem honest, owner stands by quality and if it’s not to your liking they will replace it with no issue”
“The best Irish corned beef in Chicago! Quality meats. Great value for catering big parties. My wife loves their Irish soda bread. Family-owned business, very friendly and welcoming. 5 stars.”
“Food is always good it's always nice and clean. The manger was so nice he took time explain different items on the menu. I actually went in for the chicken salad which is always good, but please easy on the celery and cranberry, but it's good. I walked out with 3 pack ham sliders which he convinced me to buy any they were delicious. Food is good customer service is excellent, the washrooms were very clean as well. Thanks for recommending the sliders. I'll be back for more chicken salad and sliders.”

“This is a small store. But they sell prepared food. Here there is often carnitas pozole, grilled chickens, tamales and stuffed chiles, clarifying that I have only been there on Saturdays and Sundays. I recommend visiting it. By pilar Caballero”
“I love this market! Fresh meats and great prices. I have to say the only complaint is that their weekly ads on their website are put up entirely too late or they don't put it up at all. So basically, you have to drive all the way out there just to find out what the sales are.”
“Good people
Appointment was for 11am
I checked in at 5am
Checked out at 6am
Lot was empty. Was able to back easily
Seems to get real busy afterwards
TIGHT TURN ON KNOX ave
TRY TO MAKE WIDE RIGHT TURN AS THERE ARE VEHICLES PARKED ON SIDE OF ROAD”
“I’m a customer for real!! I went and fell in love with the prices and products. My new place to go for my cookouts!! And everyone that I have referred has had good experiences also.”
“Best carnitas I have ever tried ! They are the real deal. I have tried carnitas Carnitas Uruapan a couple of times until I heard about this place and I ain’t turning back. Chicharrón is also on point.”
“This is a full service neighborhood grocery. There is also a lunch counter inside (tacos etc). There are several Mexican specialty items here as well. Full meat and deli counter as well.This is a neighborhood cornerstone. Whether you need ground beef for dinner or a quick lunch, this is your place.”
“The Tamales and Tacos from here are always great. They also have a good amount of produce to choose from so it's nice to stop by.
I'd also like to thank El Ranchito for being a sponsor and Taste of Blue Island”
“This is a good corner store. I’m not from blue island nor do I live in it but whenever I go in, I always get treated respectfully. The owner has his mask on when I’m there and gets me in and out. I always buy their blunts and vapes for my gf. It’s always fresh and doesn’t taste old or expired like how some corner stores be. People wrote reviews complaining about food that they really should be getting at a GROCERY STORE, and not a corner store, but hey to each their own. Don’t give bad reviews based off of that. This place is actually one of the best corner stores in blue island.”
“I stopped in here for the greatest hotdogs in the country, these do not disappoint. The only disappointing thing about them is how gosh darn expensive they are, 16 hotdogs for about 30 bucks. The steaks in the burgers are OK nothing to rave about I was just here for the hotdogs. I will come back again just for the dogs, I think you can find better steaks and burgers at your local grocery store.”
“They are adding interesting new products that I really like. The produce selection is great. I like the innovative meat packaging and they have a bigger selection in that department also. It's a good store for the size.”
“Had a 0430 pick up on a Saturday. Arrived on time, followed Google Maps and it took me directly to the bay doors. Tight road for backing but not at 0430 in the morning. I was the only one there. No issues backing in or getting loaded. I would imagine during normal business hours it is troublesome but I was lucky to get there when I did.”

“My family has been getting wonderful roasts from Whittingham’s for decades, and today just drove home what a wonderful business this is. Not only is the product superb, but today, on a busy Christmas Eve, they were able to accommodate a last minute change because we ordered the wrong roast! Thank you! You saved Christmas dinner!”
