“They have good selection of meats from chicken, goat, chicken liver, mutton liver, mutton legs, etc. The baby goat meat seems to be bit pricy compared to other shops in other Indian areas. Overall you will find good meat here.”
“Incredible! The Sausage King of Chicago! Ordered the jalapeño sausage, hot italian sausage, and ghost pepper sausage for Da Bears tailgate party. Beyond amazing! Sal, one of the staff members, was incredibly friendly and very generous! Thanks again Sal! - I will 100% be back to try everything you guys sell!!”

“I am really grateful to have this high quality food and grocer walking distance from my place. There hasn’t been one thing I have ordered that wasn’t terrific.”
“Forza is a hidden gem! I’ve been coming here for almost five years, and I can confidently say it’s one of the best spots around. The subs are incredible—you honestly can’t go wrong with any of them. They have a fantastic selection of grocery items and prepared foods, all top quality and free of preservatives. Their pasta, sauces, olive oil, and everything else are perfect for anyone who appreciates high-quality Italian ingredients.
The meats are on another level—fresh, high-quality, and full of flavor. If you’re looking for something easy to prepare for dinner, Forza always has great options ready to go. And their latest addition…Italian cookies! They’re absolutely delicious and the perfect treat. This place has consistently impressed me over the years, and I always leave happy. Highly recommend!”
“Consistently quality all natural meats and seafood. Great takeout menu, best burger in Chicagoland.
Ended the curse of the Billy goat ensuring the 2016 Chicago Cubs Worlds Series victory. Those other guys brought a live goat to break the curse. These fellows at Carnivore killed the f'ing goat.
Hardcore.”

“Great place to get your favorite meats and not only. They have a nice variety of smoked meat, smoked sausage and even sweets. The owners always greet you with a smile on their face and it's always a pleasure to stop by. And BTW, they also deliver and ship cross country. I highly recommend Saravale Meat Market”
“Omg the best skinless boneless chicken breast I’ve ever had its not even comparable. The taste, the tenderness absolutely phenomenal! Will definitely be coming back!”
“My wife decided that we would use the Kababs that her dad would get for special occasions during a family meal. We drove out to prospect heights from Antioch and got 4 each of the beef and chicken kababs. They were VERY pleasant and helpful. Lovely folks. The kababs were the BOMB! I grilled them per the instructions given by the people at ascot and they were tender and delicious. Definitely will visit again. Highly recommended.”
“Love Reagan Meats. I come in regularly to secure my monthly meat intake. Keil always takes care of me just right. The marinated skirt steak it top notch. ? Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality meats!”
“So happy we stumbled upon this little spot! It’s a grocery store with a restaurant that serves amazing tacos! The Asada Tacos were my fave! Some of the best I’ve had in the while ???”
“If you're looking for fresh meat butcher style try Peoria. Remember to wear a coat cuz it's definitely cold inside and you can have your food cut the way you like been going there for years love this place”
“This is the magical type of butcher and market that is vanishing all over the country. Thankfully, Paulina continues to push ahead with the finest selection and the customer service to go with it.”
“I shop here for meats and sausages for the grill. Great cuts of steaks for the money. Salads from the deli are very good too. The owner is very nice and cut the meat as I asked. There still is plenty for me to try here. No complaints worth the drive! AAA+”
“There tacos change they over stuff my tacos and the meat was not cut for tacos,I had a chorizo taco like the chorizo wasent cut of the skin and the other tacos pastor and asada were really shisty so I trough away all 3 tacos and had the decency to swallow the pride whit a coke”

“Fast loading. 30mins for paperwork. No biggie. If you are picking up, get here before 5am and they will load you. After 7am they prioritize local restaurants. Then start loading again after 10am. Decent backing in space. Once backed half way you have space to pull forward into a drive way.”
“Best clean cut meat you can buy around for the amazing price. Additionally, the service is one of the best services you can find in the area! I would give more than 5 stars if I could.”
“Have been buying your smoked pork, hams, and bacon...quite possibly some of the best smoked cured pork shoulder I've ever had. I've worked as a chef on the Northside for a long time. My family has lived in cragin Park fully n cicero for a long time. Very high quality products. Grab some sausages you won't be disappointed”
“Assalamolaikum: This is a customer friendly business. The owner and the staff understand their customers needs and very carefully complete their orders.We have been going there for quite a long time. Being further west on Devon Street usually there is ample paid street parking available close to the store.”
“I was only a periodic customer but recently I made a cassoulet and my primary plan for sourcing the meat fell through. The team at Homestead really helped me select the needed ingredients, which differed from the printed recipe, but exceeded in texture and flavor of the dish. They even advised - the day of - on some cooking tips when I got nervous! Anyway, a loyal customer has been created.”

“Definitely starting to come here regularly because of the variety in this store. They have just a little bit of everything and genuinely inclusive of different cultures. From the pantry items, veggies, meat, frozen section and walk-in beer fridge - I really loved how much I could find considering how small this place is.”
“This is such delicious meat. I heard about Purely’s from a friend. I tried it and have ordered 3 times since. In fact, I placed a Christmas dinner of prime tenderloin roast today. It is always melt in your mouth delicious!! Order some today!! A lot of my friends have and they love it too!!!”
“Drivers coming here to unload, best way I’ve found is to turn north on Nórdica Ave. That would be left if you are coming from Harlem Ave and then back to the side of the building. This way you have easy access to get back on to Harlem. Also they are open at 4am, but won’t unload you until the forklift drivers come. Unloading will be off the street. I hope this helps.”
“The new owners did a great job reorganizing the store and getting it cleaned up. The meat and groceries are very competitively priced. Sometimes, it can be hard to get a hold of someone on the phone. They also got rid of a lot of the processed meat selection that used to be available.Note: their Sunday hours are now 10 am to 5 pm.”
