“This place is amazing! It's mainly Mexican style food. They have a hot food bar. They put it out "Fresh Everyday". If they fill up the food bar at 10am- by 1:30pm. Its only scrapes left because the food on is OMG, good food, very fair portions, and the price is right! Looking forward to returning for a few items.”
“I love be coming here for the bread and all the snacks so I can get back on the road so clean and organized,they have everything I want here. I feel at home when I’m here. The customer service is great. Yall have to come try the food here”
“First time visit to Joseph’s. I purchased their mild & hot sausage along with prosciutto di parma. The older gentleman who took my order was patient and kind despite me coming in a few minutes before closing on a Friday.
I highly recommend Joseph’s, their sausage was so delicious and not salty as many other places are. They are pricer than other locations however it is worth it to support a small business and their high quality meats.
I’m looking forward to returning and being a regular customer.
Thank you
-Giovanna”

“We’ve shopped at Prime “N” Tender for years, and today reminded me why. I showed up about 10 minutes after closing without realizing it. Next thing I know, the owner is unlocking the door, turning the lights back on, and taking care of me so I could get dinner on the table for my family tonight. That’s the kind of service you only get from a local, family-run place. We appreciate you guys. Thanks for being awesome!”
“The steaks are consistently excellent! It reflects well on our events and adds real value, which is exactly what you want when quality matters.
If you’re looking for top-tier meats from a business that takes pride in what they do, Top Butcher Market delivers every time. Highly recommended.”
“My wife and I both LOOOOVE this place. Their sausages are just like we used to get back home in Romania, and we felt so welcomed there. Great products and great atmosphere. We'll definitely be making it a regular stop on future trips to Chicago.”

“We LOVE this store. The prices, quality of meat, and customer service. The selection is amazing --there's definitely something for everyone and the website is just as great! We're waiting for corporate to bottle that Peri Peri sauce but the chimichurri seasoning is a great addition.”
“EVERYTHING is and always has been outstanding … Try the London Broil “cuts” they melt in your mouth …
Made on the grill, then untied them and tossed w fresh grilled asparagus and goat cheese … AMAZING”
“I’ve been buying from Corfu Foods for many years and have always had a great experience. They are reliable, professional, and the service is always fast and organized. Orders are accurate, staff is helpful. Very dependable company to work with. Highly recommend.”

I'd love ❤️ to manage your marketing team!! Otherwise very good bone broth..p.s...some mortadella n salami etc subs would rock!!!!”
“Absolutely love Mike's! The quality and variety of meat is always great, seems very fresh (which is SO important), and the staff are so polite. The deli options and sandwiches are excellent, too. Thanks for all you do, keep it up, and see you again soon!”
“If you’re looking for the best ham in Chicago, you have to visit Kurowski Sausage Shop. This place is an absolute gem for anyone who loves high-quality, smoked meats.
Their ham is hands down some of the best I’ve ever had — perfectly seasoned, tender, and full of that rich, smoky flavor that only comes from doing things the traditional way. You can truly taste the care and craftsmanship in every slice. They smoke their meats on-site, and it makes all the difference.
I’ve also tried their kielbasa and turkey, and both were incredibly delicious. The kielbasa has that authentic snap and deep flavor, and the smoked turkey is juicy and packed with taste. And don’t even get me started on the bacon — anything they smoke is absolutely amazing. The bacon is smoky, savory, and unforgettable.
On top of their meats, their homemade soups are fantastic. You can tell everything is made with quality ingredients and old-school recipes.
If you’re in Chicago and appreciate real, traditional smoked meats, Kurowski Sausage Shop is a must-visit. Great food, great quality, and a true neighborhood treasure.”
“Amazing factory store of Polish meats, deli, and sausage. Everything at discounted factory prices. Very very fresh. On the weekend you can also get things such as condiments, fresh bread, and sweets.”
“I was looking for a specific flavor of Good Belly probiotics, and the website showed that Kramer sold it. When I called they didn’t have any in stock. However, they special ordered me a whole case! I appreciate them looking out for me and doing that favor of getting the product in. Thank you for hooking a sista up!”
“Very high quality products and meat at a very reasonable cost. We found the meat to be higher quality than Whole Foods and half the price. Super friendly staff and deli staff. Great source for halal/zabiha meats including deli meats.”
“Ahmad has been very helpful every time I reach out he’s always able to assist me. I am very grateful for the service that I have received from Mario butchers and Ahmad and his team. They are such a phenomenal team and I would recommend them anytime. Keep up the great work.”
“We’ve bought halal meat from many places over the years, but once we found this place, we stopped going anywhere else. Best halal meat in town! Great people, excellent service, and high-quality meat. I’ve already recommended them to my family and friends. Highly recommend!”
“We placed our first order yesterday, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. Since it was our first time, we had quite a few questions. The butcher was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and helpful. He guided me on quantities and recommended the right cuts, which I truly appreciated.
The meat exceeded my expectations. It was exceptionally fresh and absolutely delicious. Everything was packaged beautifully, and the overall presentation and cleanliness were impeccable.
I am so happy to have discovered this local gem. It is truly a world apart from store-bought meat. Needless to say, this is where I will be purchasing my meat from now on.
To the person who helped me, thank you so much. I did not catch your name, but I truly appreciate your time and expertise.”

“Azaming, food bar the food is sooo good great prices, portions are like if I was my best Italian mother's just great food. Great service. I love it there. I tell all my friends to go there.
It's just great, Italian American food. I highly recommended”
“Made a delivery here. I was sitting down the street and they came to get me to let me know they are ready. Explained where to park from the street to unload. Lumper fee $300 if you're not able to help unload. Super nice guy. Street parking is a little sketchy but told me where to park to finish a 10hr break where know body will mess with you.”
“? A Thank You That Truly Matters ?
I want to take a moment to publicly thank Blue Ribbon Meat Market and its owner for doing something that truly matters in our community.
I just heard about the most wonderful thing about this business—and it deserves to be shared.
So many times, businesses come into our neighborhoods—especially African American and other minority communities—and we show up for them. We spend our dollars consistently. We support them faithfully. We help keep their doors open.
Yet when we have a product or service, too often those same businesses won’t even give us a try. Not a test order. Not a conversation. Not an opportunity.
That’s why this moment deserves recognition.
Blue Ribbon didn’t just take from the community—they gave back. They made the intentional decision to try their commercial dish detergent from Edit Enterprise LLC, and in doing so, they invested financially into a local, minority-owned business from the very community that supports them.
That choice matters.
That decision speaks volumes.
That action helps build real economic equity.
Supporting local isn’t just about where your building is—it’s about who you choose to support, who you create opportunities for, and whether you circulate dollars back into the community that sustains you.
If you haven’t supported Blue Ribbon Meat Market yet, go support them—because they support us.
So thank you to Blue Ribbon for:
• Being open-minded
• Being intentional
• Supporting local and minority-owned businesses
• Showing what real community partnership looks like
This is how trust is built.
This is how communities grow stronger.
This is how meaningful change happens.
Thank you for setting an example—and for showing that giving back isn’t just a slogan, it’s an action.

“Dan at Crawford sausage Company was a great help today. Walked in bought a pound of Daisy brand hotdog in the casing of course the only way to go! This brings back many childhood memories, graduation parties, birthday parties. My family revolved around eating Daisy Brand hot dogs like at our get-togethers, I highly recommend stopping in And picking up a few pounds of anything they sell. It’s a great local family own business.”
“Love getting my produce from this market, everything always looks really fresh, staff is always friendly, and the pricing is reasonable. Always here to support local business.”
“My appointment at 12:00 p.m.
