    Half Italian beef
    Joyce K.

    I tried the famous Italian beef for 17.00. Was expecting something wonderful and it wasn't. The bread they used was tough not the usual bread they usually use for Italian beef's. The Ajus had no taste or spices. The amount of beef they put on the 17,00 sandwich was so small. They hardly put any peppers on it. Here's a picture of a half. Will be sticking with my favorite Al's on Taylor. No fries for that price.

    Best. Turkey. Ever! There are few places from memory where I recall a Thanksgiving turkey being remarkable. The last time we had turkey this good was many years ago when we ordered from Treasure Island. Their turkey was perfectly moist and flavorful. I didn't think we were going to have a turkey that good until we ordered our Thanksgiving turkey through Hofherr Meat. We ordered their chargrilled version. The added bonus was it came pre-carved. It was picture perfect and herbs were infused in the juicy, charred meat. Pickup was somewhat hectic with their kitchen busy. Many folks were patiently waiting for orders while food was prepped for pickup. Our turkey with gravy was pricey but we enjoyed several days of leftovers saving us a weekly grocery trip. They have a decent parking lot. Although it was peak season, I had no trouble finding a spot.

    These people live and breathe MEAT. The staff there literally studied it, knowing it in every which way. We only trust Hofherr to exceed our food expectations - providing the freshest and highest quality meats for a myriad of events. Our favorites are bone-in ribeye steaks, briskets, lamb w/ mint sauce (especially around Easter), and beef ribs. Not once have we been disappointed by either their produce or expert cooking tips; they won a contest for crying out loud! For the added cost, it is all worth it. Sold in bulk, too, which is very convenient for larger parties. They are especially notorious for their Sunday fried chicken (you must place the order by Saturday, at the latest). You will never find a friendlier, more knowledgeable butcher staff.

    The staff are amazing and their meat are even better. Our family loves dry aged beef, Hofherr always has a variety of cuts to choose from. The owner and his wife run their business like a family and treat every customer as if they were providing for their family bbq or special meal.

    #wheresthebeef? It's Herr. At Hofherr Meat Company. Well wouldn't ya know it, lucky little me once again nabbed a $100 gift card (this time for meaty sustenance instead of cigars) from a WDRV 97.1FM 'The Drive' giveaway, after I called into their morning radio show and answered a series of questions correctly. I actually had to earn it this time around as opposed to just being randomly selected from a drawing. But I still won, so yay me! When I got the voucher in the mail I was giddy with excitement......until I realized that I'd have to drive from my swanky bachelor pad in Oak Park way the hell up to freakin' Winnetka (okay, technically Northfield, but just as far), a 50 minute drive. I'm happy to report that my experience at Hofherr made it well worth my time. I walked in and was warmly greeted by the older guy behind the counter (Sean?), who helped me pick out various cuts of meat while making suggestions. He had a younger assistant with him (his nephew?) who also helped me out. As I worked my way down the counter, I chose a wide variety of items that they were nice enough to cut to order for me (since 1.7lbs of high-grade sirloin was just far too much cow flesh for me to take home). They were friendly and patient as I gradually worked towards that $100 goal, picking and choosing things that sounded/looked great. Ultimately, I went with the following (brace yourself, a MEATSTORM is coming) : .......cheddar Jalapeño sausage (2), a marinated pork chop, blue cheese burgers (4), smoked bacon ( 1/2 lb), teriyaki jerky, top sirloin flap (¾ lb), duck pâté, TWO choice filet mignons (¾ lb each), a garlic chicken breast, and finally Korean bbq short ribs ( 1/2 lb). Yeah, I'll be living large and grilling my heart out long after Independence Day. The older gentleman was happy to hand over his fine wares to me, and I was thrilled to receive them. Even though the total came to $100.13, he was kind enough to wave the 13¢ balance and sent me on my way. He was also excited to meet another "winner" of the morning show giveaway, which I found amusing. Definitely recommend Hofherr for your Father's Day, Fourth of July, or general summer grilling needs. Even if you have to pay for it yourself :D

    Three trips in and I'm ready to tell you in detail how awesome this butcher is. Let's go! First trip we went and picked up a gaggle of meats. We picked up the most succulent chicken thighs ever to be found. When I cooked them up with Old Cedarburg spice from The Spice House, they were eye-rolling-into-back-of-the-head delicious. The dog and the man were both in the kitchen watching me after awhile. I am no slouch when it comes to cooking, but these made me look REALLY good. Very tender. We also bought a rib eye, which I did in a cast iron skillet. Now, I'm normally a New York strip kinda girl, woman, so this was new territory for me. However, Emily gave excellent instructions, so that came out like an award winning piece of beef. Salt and pepper, and butter. That was it. So tender and delightful. They carry pig ears for puppers, so she got a few of those, and it was the first time I wasn't able to take something from her. I've picked up pig ears every subsequent visit, much to her joy. We also picked up some portabella mushroom caps, as well as some potato salad, which even I liked, and I don't like potato salad typically, and a twice baked potato. SO very good. Oh my goodness. Basically everything was a right treat. Second trip was for the Nashville fried chicken, which oh my sweet mother of Murphy, was so good. The northshore suffers from being a fried chicken desert. UNTIL NOW, friends!! We ordered our chicken with the Nashville on the side, which was a good idea, because even boyfriend said "whooo-weeee, that's hot", and we aren't candy butts about the spicy. The chicken was both tender and crisp, did I say succulent yet? If there had been any left, I might have made a chicken salad with it, and that would have been an epic win too. We didn't care for the pickles that came with, they were more on the sweet side than we like, but we did enjoy how dilly they were. So it was this sort of mouth confusion for us. We liked them, but we didn't. The biscuits were off the chain as well- just a little bit of sassy but not too much to make you run for the milk. Definitely will be doing more of the fried chicken in the future. Order ahead, because they do this magical chicken once a week on Sundays. Pre-orders only! Third trip was for more chicken thighs, and some chicken breast. Emily showed me how to cut up a chicken properly, I feel clever now. When I was leaving, they were opening up the rotisserie chicken oven, so then I had to go back and pick up one of those. I had a few bites which were, yes you better believe it, tender and succulent. How does that even happen?! Boyfriend was ready to street fight for the chicken. Almost had to pull over and let him at it, but we did make it home before he broke into it. So good, will definitely be doing more of those, too. I'm twitching to do a chicken soup out of one of those puppies. That trip saw me with a few things that I've just started to unthaw, but lemme tell you how big the pork chops are. Just righteous. Solid chops that look about the size you see in restaurants. I'm really looking forward to tucking into those! They have an incredible selection of mayonaisse, including Duke's and Kewpie. You'll find some barbeque sauce, some spices, some kimchi. They carry hot dogs (all beef were MEAT, right in the face), and buns. We have LOVED the Italian beef, so now it's chicken and Italian beef every (other) week or so. To sum up, I feel comfortable saying that Hofherr is like a second home now. Chat with the staff with what you're getting, and maybe try something you haven't before, because short of you being a newbie in the kitchen, you're gonna be fine. If you like meat, you need to be here.

    First time here, and super impressed. They had what I was looking for-lamb for kabobs, and they cut it into squares for me. Nice to have a shop open with a butcher working on a Sunday! Very friendly staff helping out here. And lots of little things to look at while you wait for your cut. Highly recommended.

    See all
