“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!!”
“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”
“Nice selection of vegan goods and produce. I have occasionally gotten something less than quality in terms of vegetables.
Things to note is they do not take manufacture coupons, and can be a bit pricey for some every day items unfortunately.”
“I really enjoy shopping here. I find myself going very often will be going back today. Buying chicken wings Buffalo style. Also the pineapple upside down cake for dessert.”
“Go here now. Legit went in clueless… searching for the perfect steak taco recipe. They helped me with it all! Tenderized the meat, cut it perfectly up so it wasn’t a hassle later on, and they even had chopped up onion and cilantro packaged up. Icing on the cake (taco) was their fresh made salsa! . Thanks for the help! The tacos we made for dinner tonight were delicious!!”
““Authentic”-Kielbasa craving???
Look no further than Kurowski.
Never in all my years of shopping here
have I ever found an English-speaking-Polish-Foodie able to describe the differences of the +20 types of
Smoked-Sausages they make here
( & sell here as well).
It is a place that smells as good as it tastes.?
Their Hot Food bar offers a great Polish Lunch selection, as well as the refrigerated display case featuring my fav- a Carrot “Salad”/Slaw w/Raisins, as well as other pickled items and coleslaw.
Sadly, since The Pandemic they’ve stopped selling “bones” inna Blue-Plastic-Barrel.
The piggy bones were great to use for soups or stocks, & my Honduraino buddy literally drooled(& kissed me) over the “trotters”
I gifted him that were pulled-outta that
Blue Barrel.
The southern 1/2 of the stores sells all sorts of non-meat items from European Butter & Cheese to Dill Pickles inna barrel to
Gluten-Free-Breads made w/Sunflower Seeds!
“Pro-Tip”:: For your next picnic ( or cocktail gathering)- may I suggest getting
a few pairs of “Kabonosy” + also request a
2” thick slice (use Sign-Language-to-show-Thickness?) of their Smoked-Gouda Cheese ( pronounced-“How-dah”)>
and b4 your picnic cut into small cubes /slice the Kabonosy into lil bite-sizes> & toothpick-em-together! (Maybe go crazy& skewer a Gherkin on it too!)
(Insiders alert- on the top of
the Stainless counter, over by The scales are broken Kielbasa packaged and sold for
a steep discount)
A bit of Chicago Retail History, this address was formerly the home of “Animal Kingdom”
Pet-Shop.
Wanna Snake?
Wanna Lizard?
Wanna Ocelot?
Turtles-big and small?
Wanna goldfish ( to feed to the Turtle!?)
Even an occasional Capuccian Monkey ?
( think Organ Grinder)
All sorts of legit & questionable live animals used to be sold here
Kurowski Sausage is -
CHICAGO’s VERY OWN!”
“The pastrami is to DIE for. We get the “house cut”. Warm it up in a pan at home but not too much. It melts in your mouth. We love pastrami and eat it and “rate it” everywhere we go and this is our favorite. I send it to my son out of state he misses it.”
“Such an amazing place with very authentic delicious Mexican food. A must try in the Pilsen area.
Kid-friendliness: We went there with 2 very small kids. The stuff were very accomodating and helpful.”

“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!”
“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.”
“I go to Adrian's for everything. They've got all the protein rich food I need to gain muscle and all the drinks and chips that make me remember my time in Mexico. Whether I'm preparing food for myself or for a party or just trying to win the lottery, Adrian's is where I go.”
“Got here at 9:43 am ..they recieve from 4am to 12pmAfter 10 min, truck pulled out from door 22, immediately im unloaded.THEY OFFER TO.WASH OUT TRAILERS HERE.....WOW...SERVICE!!!!!!!!!

“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.”
“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”
“I came in for a leg of lamb for Easter.Everyone was so pleasant and helpful. The price was the best by far. I saw they also had lamb shoulder so I went with that. It was frozen and when I defrosted it overnight in my fridge and it thawed out, it looked great and had no smell to it - so it was fresh. We had the lamb as part of our dinner tonight and everyone loved it.I can understand what some have mentioned about the smell however, that's been the case for any butcher shop I've been to... unfortunately it seems to be in the air.The produce looked okay, not the greatest but I came in for something else.While checking out with my purchases, the staff were curteous and kind. Overall my experience was great.”
“They have a very good selection of food from all cultures their fruit is fresh the store is very clean and the butchers cut the meat just the way you want it I highly recommend the store and the prices are not bad”
“One of the best shippers in Chicago. Extremely friendly, what a bunch of great people working here. Was in, checked in, docked, loaded and bol signed within 5 minutes. Trucks the easiest way off of 94 would be Pershing exit. Take Pershing to halsted. Turn into property off of halsted dock is behind building. When loaded turn left out of the dock and into the alley then first left take it wide.”

They also have a bakery, selling baguettes, croissants, and more!”

“Often enough, I dine-in and get the daily special. Food is always fresh and fantastic and while you are waiting, they will offer samples of soup or other culinary delights. This time we ordered catering for a retiree party. 2 full trays of beef, 1 full tray of meatballs, 1 full tray of smoked beans and 1 full tray of roasted veggies. It came with all the buns, mild and hot giardiniera and roasted peppers. Everything was delicious. All trays were empty in 30 minutes! Thanks guys!”
