“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

“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.”
“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!”
“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.”

“Best kosher butcher in Illinois and probably the entire Midwest. They also sell chopped liver, potato salad, coleslaw, kishka and more. They'll make you a coldcut sandwich on rye. They have a selection of various hot dogs and sausages. They're famous for their salami. Friendly people. Very old school place. It's like walking into a store from the 50s, which it is.”

“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”
“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.”
“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.”
“The selection is very wide, and so far anything we have purchased has turned out to be good quality. The staff checks on you regularly with a smile, and it is spotlessly clean.”
“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...”
“What a great local shop for fresh meats, eggs, dairy and more! I do not know that much about different parts of meat, and employee took his time listening to what I was looking for, explained differences of parts of meat, I got to choose things suitable for my capability of cooking(im not really good at marinating and cooking We also tried a few jerkies and sausages They were so gooooood!!! I also got a beautiful freshly cut t bone steak Cannot wait to grill(on my ninja fryer grill) and feast!!!”
“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.”
“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!”
“The deli selections are amazing! You can get beef, chicken, to seafood! You also have a selection of seasonings, premade snacks or lunch, such as riceballs, fried chicken, or arroz con gandules!
They also have a bakery, selling baguettes, croissants, and more!”
“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.”

“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”
“It's delicious, it's not fancy so don't expect clean tables or anything. It's located in the back of the grocery store but it's damn delicious. You'll leave full, the coca cola bottle was so damn crisp too. Fantastic.”
“? 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.

“Very refreshing to find such a quality neighborhood butcher!
Super thoughtful about sourcing.
Excellent fresh cuts of high quality beef!
Superb select of fresh local poultry.
Visited this Evanston location from my home in DesPlaines.
Excellent staff. Worth the trip.”
“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.”
“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.”
“i purchased a toogoodtogo from this store and they gave me a bag full of inedible food that expired MONTHS ago (oldest item expired in july of 2022). the purpose of toogoodtogo is to stop good food from going to waste, not to turn a profit off of spoiled food that actually belongs in the trash. that's not the spirit of the app at all, and it's a real scummy thing to do.”
“Great store for Zabhia Halal meat and groceries, they carry Indian and Pakistani grocery with much cheaper price then the other stores on Devon Ave Chicago.
I would recommend this store to everyone who's in need to buy Zabhia Halal meat and grocery.”
