“I’ve been shooting at that store more than 10 years and I love it now I would like to share my experience it’s such an amazing one stop to shop they have everything from the Middle East and more their price very reasonable compared to other places everything fresh the store very clean. The owner are wonderful. I recommend everybody to visit a shop from there.i wish Google has more than 5 starts but I will throw another 5 starts from me as a chef thanks allot brother’s grocery store”
“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

“I have visited Thuringer Meats only once but it was an awesome experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the interior was clean and well organized. The meat selection is extensive and they have some frozen options too. There are homemade meals that are also offered in the frozen foods cooler. The deli and other various meats are high quality and cut to order, when possible. The Ribeye steak I purchased grilled nicely and popped with flavor. The lamb loin chops were fresh and tasty too. Looking forward to shopping here again soon! 100% recommend!”
“I’m so so happy I came across Carnicería Ruiz. I was looking for a Mexican goods store that wasn’t too far from Logan Square, and they blew me away! This cozy market is well-stocked with dry/pantry goods, imported Mexican products, fresh produce and an excellent meat and cheese counter. They even have carne seca! (A healthier and honestly tastier alternative for beef jerky fans. It’s just meat dried in the sun with salt and that’s it, no other ingredients) I HIGHLY recommend you visit on the weekends too, when they have homemade: barbacoa, carnitas, and menudo. I just bought 2 lbs of barbacoa so I could make it into meals over the week, ~that’s how good it is. The people that work there are always knowledgeable and friendly. This is a lovely establishment, I can’t wait to go back for some menudo!”
“Ascot's is a great place!! The meats are great, really fresh and flavorful! The staff are very sweet and knowledgeable. If you have any questions about the product you're purchasing, they will provide helpful information. Overall, stupendous establishment!!”
“I love shopping at harvesTime! It is the perfect sized grocery store -- you can be in a and out with what you need fairly quickly. I especially appreciate their freshly baked European style breads and fresh pastries. We typically pick up a spinach spanakopita when we stop in! They also have some unique local items sprinkled throughout the store. Meat from local farms, micro greens, tea blends, chili oil to name a couple. This fits with their ethos as a local independent grocery store.”
“Good selection of less-common meats and cuts (e.g. lamb shanks, duck, ground venison are things I've found there) at reasonable prices. It's a good middle ground between the grocery store and specialty butcher.”
“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.”
“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.”

“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.”
“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.”
“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”
“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!”

“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“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.”
“Great prime meats...awesome service... everyone is very knowledgeable and customer oriented . .they been supplying us at the grill on the alley for a couple of years...”
“I love this groceries store definitely been a community staple for yearssssssss I don't have enough S to add im 45 Mario's was around when I was very young like 1985 Capital Hill Shit”

They also have a bakery, selling baguettes, croissants, and more!”
“?My Friends From CTA & I Genuinely Miss Their Awesomely Great Bobak’s Grocery Store Which Was Located On Archer.
When I work for CTA Archer Garage, we go there for lunch even on our own non-working days Because ?They Had The Best Polish Food EVER (In Small Cafe/Restaurant Located Inside Grocery Store Too)! All their sausage and food items are always totally fresh and delicious!!!? ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️”
“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.”
“High quality meat, wide selection, competitive prices, friendly and knowledgeable staff. Not much else you could ask for in a local butcher shop. I’ll definitely be back soon”
“The absolute BEST hummus. The pita bread is fresh and comes in a large quantity. However, they run out kind of early.
I bought the chocolate rolls that were absolutely delicious. They'd be great with cinnamon, too.”
