“Blue Ribbon was a dynasty from my mom when she moved here in 1961 she always shopped he meats from you all I still shop there to this very day Thanks for all the years of service ⭐️⭐️⭐️?”
“Incredible! The Sausage King of Chicago! Ordered the jalapeño sausage, hot italian sausage, and ghost pepper sausage for Da Bears tailgate party. Beyond amazing!

“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.”
“$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”

“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.”
“Fantastic variety of traditional Hispanic and American foods. I loved the freshly prepared fish offerings on Fridays. Bright,well presented grocery selections and very reasonable meat and produce prices.”
“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”
“Everything there is it's very fresh I mean they offer everything from fruits to fresh cut meats to an actual taco restaurant to bakery to corn on the cob just everything possible you can find in the store and everyone is always so polite”
“, the carnitas, the barbecue, the Menudo on the weekends, delicious fresh food daily, affordable prices, the store is very clean, the service is excellent, I will return”
“Amazing customer service meat is fresh all the time plus great prices Very helpful as well I'm 7 months pregnant and they had someone help me load my car up :)”
“It's a distributor for local restaurants that also will sell to the public I was curious about this place and stopped in not too much signage for the entrance but went in through the parking lot and walked through to an office area where a very friendly person was sitting. After asking about the place it seems you can get a variety of beef pork and chicken. I was there for some Italian sausage and got a 5 pounds of it which was just made and had good flavors. So when the time comes for a bigger order I'll share my findings”
“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.”

“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.”
“It's a butcher shop. Not a grocery store. So no high expectations. Good quality, price and service. You have to know exactly what and how you want it. They are not mind readers. Don't embarrass yourself and get frustrated with staff.”
“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.”
“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.
