Meat Shops in Oak Park, IL

“I ordered a whole white fish for stuffing and asked that the guys remove the bones. And this was done to perfection - nary a bone in the finished baked fish that was just so fresh and delicious. While in to pick up the pre-ordered fish, I spied crab cakes in the display. I rather offended the guys by asking if they were good. My company are a fussy lot but everthing I've had from Carnivore has been super, so I took three 1/4 pound cakes. And they were literally AMAZING. Scant filler, all crab, subtley seasoned. With just a little browning in olive oil and warming through at 350F for 15 minutes, served on mixed greens, this was a perfect starter for the meal. Thank you, Carnivore, for delivering - again!”

“I adore this store for its flash frozen, portioned meets and seafood. The staff is helpful and attentive and the store offers quite a staggering selection of ordinart and unusual meats, fish, deserts, seafood, appetizers, etc. Very good prices for the quality, and they alsi deliver!”

“Hidden Gem!!! I make Rouladen for Christmas every year. Finding a butcher to cut the meat I need every year is difficult, and chain grocery stores don't usually have the cut of meat I need, or they won't cut it. My moms recipe calls for sirloin tip roast in 1/4 thick strips. I called Blue Ribbon Meat Market, talked to the butcher, and described what I needed. He said he had the meat, and could cut it. When I got there he showed me a couple roasts he thought were good for what I needed, and let me pick the one I wanted. He trimmed the fat and showed me the 1st cut to be sure it was what I wanted. The roast is perfect. Since the recipe calls for bacon, I got enough + some for my recipe too. The customer service is above and beyond, the shop is very clean (something I look for in a butcher shop), and the staff is wonderful, and they refer to you by name, which makes you feel like they've known you for years. The customers who shop there are so nice and welcoming. My granddaughter made a few friends there. They have holiday meal kits if anyone needs something. The meat selection is really good and affordable. I was eyeballing some of the steaks before leaving, and I definitely will be back. I highly recommend this hidden gem.”
