Huge thanks to Eickmans and Melissa! Food was for a wedding reception and had to be held over for 6 hours. Using crockpots and warming ovens it worked great. Many asked where food was ordered. Will definitely order again.

Never been here before. Spent 50 bucks. I had gone to the counter to ask what was in the dog food but the guy gave me a vague answer. Seemed kind of rude. But I guess contry folks don't like people asking questions.

Hired Eickman's to cater our son's graduation party. Katie was amazing to work with to get our order worked out. Tom made the delivery as scheduled. All of the food was amazing. Everyone attending could not say enough good things about the food. If we ever have need to cater again we will not even consider anyone else. Amazing job!!

Being such a beautiful day and we needed a Christmas ham we thought we'd splurge this year so we drove out to Eickmann's from Belvidere. Along with the ham we picked some sausage for a meat tray and some Braunswieger (German liver sausage), born and raised German, it's a German thing!. At Christmas the Ham was to die for "AWESOME" flavor ,almost nothing left, sausage was almost gone but that was probably because we were waiting for stragglers to show. The Braunswieger on the other hand was the worst tasting sausage I've ever eaten. I made a sandwich one morning (rye with butter and sausage) and I threw the rest out, I can't say what it was but it just didn't taste right, It was like nothing I ever eaten and I grew up eating this stuff, getting it in Chicago and the suburbs. I just know what not to get next time. Otherwise a good experience!!

I suggested using Eickman's catering for our 40th high school reunion since my parents had used them many times decades ago. Our classmates were impressed with the meal on every level. Thanks to Melissa for making it so easy and the team for making it tasty! I don't get to Illinois much these days, but if I have a party to plan Eickman's is my choice provider!

Since I wrote this Eickman's responded and said they will compensate us for any products that we were not satisfied with and will investigate all my concerns. The conversation I had with Tim was very reassuring and I believe their quality is very important. Thank you Eickman's and I will change my rating to a 4 for customer service. I will be shopping with them again and feel sure it will be the quality we have come to love about this establishment.Been going to Eickman's for decades and spend about $200 to $300 every time we shop there. Obviously had been very satisfied with their quality up until now. Within the last year the quality of their meat has diminished. Here is just a few examples: Bought ground Italian Sausage it was filled with bone fragments too many to give a count. The package of bacon we got was horrible seemed to be from an old boar or really old hog. The boneless chicken breast we recently got actually tasted like rubber. So sorry to give a bad review on a place we have been happy with for years but needed to let them know that something has happened that does not compliment the quality they have maintained in the past.

They are excellent ? ? I bought a 1/4 side of beef they cut it to order, double wrapped it and helped me load it in my car. I was splitting it with my son and they even helped me divide it into small crates so I could carry it. They were professional and personable.it. Thanks so much!! 100%

I'm not sure any of the positive reviews are legit. I took a drive over there and bought beef, pork, and eggs from them. First of all, they all have the same dry personality, everyone that works there. Second, I spent over $150 and bought good cuts of beef and pork chops and sausages, and hassleman farms eggs. It was all spoiled. Sausage spoiled frozen. Beef and pork cuts spoiled frozen. And eggs really old also spoiled. To top it off, their date system on the product is not month/day/year. It's a 3 digit number example: 120 which means days left. How do they know when it was packed once there's a pile of them with different numbers which there was? I know there were many red flags I ignored but still don't understand why they have so many good reviews. I don't get how the state allows them to have their own date system that doesn't make sense.

I had bought a half a pig from Dietrich farms. Melissa called and ran through the options with me very on point, she knows her stuff, very helpful. One option I did take was to have them cure the pieces of meat that require curing a more natural way. They used celery powder and other ingredients without chemicals. Let me tell you Eickmans know there stuff. The best tasting bacon and ham, yes it took longer but it was well worth it. The pork chops are the best. The way they cut the meat up into was fantastic. Eickmans knows how to process meat, let me tell you. GREAT JOB.

Eickmann's never fails to impress; they do such an outstanding job with our hog each year. It's no wonder they take fistfuls of Blue Ribbons at the Illinois State Fair each year. Great job, guys!

We are from Chicago and come out to Oregon on weekends. Our river neighbors told us about eichmann's and given what we read in the news about meat processing plants we were game to try. Absolutely the best bacon ,steak and pork chops we have ever had. Restaurant quality. We are now also huge fans of the brats and interesting sausages . Elk and bison sausages are now our favorite gifts for city friends. We will be patronizing eichmann's for all of our meat products going forward and recommending it to our friends. Extremely reasonable prices for the quality. Discovering eichmann's is definitely one of the bright spots of this grim summer. I should add that friends from Chicago came out on our recommendation and declare the snack sticks absolutely perfect c

Eickman's is great and has a bunch of good stuff, but I specifically went to get their "famous" bacon. The bacon is good, but just like regular bacon. It is higher quality bacon, but just not the best like I was expecting. If you want some real good bacon with more bang for your buck, get Wright's bacon. Quality bacon and you get a whole lot more than 14 strips for 7 bucks. Wright's bacon is pricy, but you get a lot more strips, and it's yummy!

Just had some beef processed here. The people were extremely friendly and helpful. They walked me through what cuts I wanted and made everything very easy. Prices were fair and they worked quickly. My only real regret is that they aren't a little closer to home, but I will definitely be back the next time I need some beef.
