Meat quality is good, the owner is rude. During the holiday rush, he waved his hand at me and told me to come back next week for anything else I might need. I gave him another chance and the next time he was just as rude. I will not be back.

Incredible quality prime rib roast for our thanksgiving table. We prepared just as they had instructed and it was everyone’s favorite dish. Will absolutely order again at Homestead Meats!!

Best butcher shop in Chicagoland, hands down. He makes everything in house, puts in the hours, and prices everything fairly. What a joy to know that butchers like this are still a thing here in Chicago!

Great selection of meats. Might have been the best pork tenderloin I've ever bought.

Homestead Meats is one of our favorite butcher shops. We first visited Homestead Meats last year. We noticed that they carried beef bacon, so we thought we would pick up some while we were in town. Turns out that was the best beef bacon that we have ever had. So when we knew we would be back in town, we thought we would place an order for some more beef bacon. I called and spoke to Ehran who is also the owner. I was hoping to order about 10 pounds of beef bacon. Ehran explained that they work with small batches with products from local farms and while he could prepare an order that size, he would need more time. So we settled on having a few pounds put aside. When we arrived at Homestead Meats, they had our bacon ready. It was vacuum sealed and ready for us to take home. Even though they were running low on product due to the holidays, they still had some beef bacon in their case. So we decided to pick up another pound of bacon, some sausages, and beef jerky. Everything looked really good and there are several options to select from including cheeses, stocks and cooking essentials. We loaded up our cooler and look forward to doing that again next time we are in town.

I stopped in 20 minutes before closing, 2 days before Christmas looking for a steak for Christmas dinner. The owner was working and he explained that they were (understandably!!!) sold out of most things -- which is what i was expecting to find but that he had a Delmonico steak I could buy. He even offered to vacuum it for me if I wanted to come back the next day -- super knowledgeable, friendly, beautiful cuts of meat, sourced locally. Very happy with my experience.

The meat is great, and I know the owner is super knowledgeable and has good intentions but he can come off as arrogant or belittling. Sometimes it’s better to just give the customer what they asked for and if they need more direction they’ll ask for it. I’m not gonna stop going here but sometimes it’s hard.

Goving you 1 star. Bought beef liver today. Drove 1 hr to experience bad customer service. Not sure why the old man felt so defensive when i was asking him questions about the meet. I will not come again just because of your customer service. If you dont know ABC of customer service please work in a factory or may be hire some people who can provide good customer service for you in case if you are the owner.

Really great products and a rare find these days. I discovered Homestead Meats by accident a month or two ago and I've been going to them for all of my dairy, egg, and meat needs since. The meats are fresh and reasonably priced considering they're very high-quality, and the local ownership of the store gives you a chance to talk and get recommendations when you need them. Sometimes the store can be quite busy and the employees there are understandably a bit short on time, so I'd recommend calling them when the store is not as busy and placing an order in advance. Kudos to Ehran and the team for sourcing the meats the way we ought to, in direct contradiction to the unhealthy mass market farming practices we see almost everywhere else. keep up the good work!

Insanely overpriced and obnoxious owner.
