“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”

“One of the absolute best butcher shops in the Chicagoland area. Feels like a piece of the past but best selection you'll find. Multiple options, great cuts, & great prices. Portobello mushroom brats are to die for. Highly recommend”
“I came in to try that NY strip steak sandwich that people have been raving about on Google. The verdict is the hype is real. The NY strip steak is very tender and flavorful. It’s like a medium rare burger, it requires very little chewing. It’s the combination of the French roll, the steak, the grilled onions, and Asiago cheese that truly make it just a great sandwich. Even after devouring it, it’s still on my mind and I wouldn’t mind coming back to try other items on the menu. Customer service is very friendly and attentive. You can tell they care about their customers. Parking is easy, you just have to go into that big lot to the right. Prices are very fair for the quality of meat.”
“Has all the best ethnic(Middle eastern, Asian & South Asian) foods, products, and items. Also has the best quality zabiha halal meat selection in most of Chicago. Has anything you can need from snacks, foods, drinks, frozen goods, halal meat, soaps, cleaning products, etc…..?”
“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.”
“$12.99 for quite possibly the best corned beef sandwich in Chicago....YES PLEASE....my mouth is watering just describing the amazing quality and experience this Sammie has....Eat Local is a local Chicago food review channel on YouTube and these 2 guys, Sean Ely and Corey Wagner are right, this is an unexpected taste explosion....definitely a huge must visit recommendation.....enjoy PEEPS and also, everything on the menu is probably A1 TOP NOTCH as well”
“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”
“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!”
“I absolutely love this place. In a world where everything is poison and toxic... its nice to know I'm eating meat that is sourced from farmers and healthy! I come here once every two months and stock up on some meat and bones. Highly recommend you at least check this place out!”
“High quality meat, awesome individual running the place and awesome prices. You do have to purchase in bulk but if you have a family then trust me you will never shop anywhere else. I've been coming here for a very long time(close to 2 decades, yeah I'm that old!). Ali and his team have been running this place forever and its been family owned for God knows how long. I'm unsure if you need a tax i.d. to shop here but I've been coming by well before that requirement. Huge selection of high quality halal meats, but you have to order it so don't just show up. Call first! I'll be back over and over again. This Yelp page hasn't been updated in forever it seems but this place is still open, right off of cortland and route 53.”
“great five star service ,the best grocery supermarket Arabic pita bread , spinach pies, zabhia meat ,falafel kubba located in Bridgeview , little Palestine keep up the good work bossAleh K. Akel & Mohammad Akel”
“I've driven past this market a bunch of times and decided to pop in on a whim to see what it's all about. I was very pleasantly surprised - not only do they have an abundance of produce, they had a sizable selection of specialty produce. In addition to produce, they had meat, a deli counter, a cheese section, and the biggest array of ethnic foods that I've seen at a non specialty grocery store. I will definitely be keeping this market top of mind for future recipes and gatherings.”
“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 moved to VP about 5 years ago from the northside, and I'm so happy we found this place....I'm proud to say its become our go-to. Not only does Mike's have amazing high quality meat, but they have a great deli too and the staff makes it even better. Since day 1, i'm always greeted in the kindest way - I even know some by first name basis which is always a small town dream, right?! I should've made a review a long time ago but I am now because on Saturday I bought a 5 1/2 lb corned beef brisket for St Patrick's day to make my husband, and I was really conflicted on the best method to make it since it was on the larger end (from my experience of cooking). I already procrastinated in the morning and probably should've started earlier but I decided to call up Mikes this morning for advice and wow - they really helped me. Google wasnt helping me, everyone has different methods, or recipes of which way is better and i wanted to get it just right especially since this was not a cheap cut of meat!Two gentlemen gave me advice on 2 methods, and they literally gave me all the tips and best ways to handle from their own experiences. Man, it really made me so happy to support a business like Mikes and we will always continue to do so. They really care, and always take the time to help out their customers in store and over the phone. Thank you Mikes meat market! You guys are truly a gem in VP.”
“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”
“Great little market with many hidden gems like rosewater, orange blossom water, dates, and halva. A huge selection of tea and coffee, sweets, and spices. I will be doing more of my shopping here, this is a pastry chef's dream!”
“Just wanted to drop you a line that my wife and I used your delicious pepperoni on our homemade skillet pizza on Saturday - the best tasting one we ever made!Your pepperoni is the only pepperoni we want to use.Keep up the good work!!!”

“This spot is def a hidden gem. Not surprised that it was not found on yelp. When you walk in through the front it is a store front, but the real magic happens in the back. Everything from menudo, to home made tamales, to tacos can be ordered in the back. If you enjoy real home cooked Mexican food this is the place for you. I started off with a simple but delicious bean taco. It sounds easy but there's an art to it and when I tried to ask how they made the beans the answer was simple "secret recipe." Then I moved to the main dish, menudo. What a joy that was, simmering and quite delicious and then I finished the meal with homemade tamales. Guys if you're looking for authentic Mexican food this is the spot for you. Ask for Lola when you walk in. Like I said think of this spot as a speak easy of food, hidden gem is in the back. You can also ask Lola about catering.”
“First time I went the chicken was clean and amazing second time it wasn't clean but still good the price is good and the store is full of stuff only thing is the parking lot is usually full but that just proves that it is a good and busy store”
“? 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.

“Bought this Romanian dry sausage from Max’s deli in Sterling Heights Michigan the best sausage ever loaded up for Christmas today had to double for the family everyone loved it Thank you for great product”
“Give Kyle a raise! Within two sentences he both read my mind and guided me to the cuts in my price range and flavor profile. His service somehow exceeds the quality of the steaks. I will be back because of his service, no doubt!”
“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 man who answered the phone was so helpful and gave great service. They have the best skirt steak around! I have purchased from them for years and their meat is always a hit at parties.”
“No point in coming early, come close to appointment time. Around appointment time, In and Out in less than 2 hours. Friendly staff. I came a little too early, had to wait.”

“The cannolis are great but the tiramisu for some reason they went away from Lady fingers into yellow cake so that's not really that great.. in my opinion it's not the same as what Grandma Caputo used to make but she spoiled me and her grandchildren. The pizza was great hot and fresh and the ladies behind the counter kept it coming. Nice clean store overall great experience and great prices. I will always come back to a Caputo's no matter where it is because I know I'm guaranteed good quality produce”

“Been going to Casey's for 20 years plus. Everything is great, clean, friendly. That being said, the 3% credit card fee REALLY irks me. One more thing: I realize Bidenflation is real, and businesses are in a pinch, but how can you charge $15/pound for example, honey maple turkey, while Jewel sells it everyday at $8/pound?? There are other examples....we are willing to pay more most of the time to support Casey's, but please, double check the current pricing/reassess if the prices need to be adjusted. ONE more thing...any chance you can bring back online sandwich orders??”
