    I had a 2 inch prime porterhouse for my birthday. We all agreed that was as fine a steak as can be had. Fantastic meat palace!!

    Do i need to preorder a prime rib?

    Probably the safest bet. They're very, very busy at holidays.

    Do you carry meat for braciole?

    This place was a vibe! A first time for me, I attended a private event here and thought it to be…read moresuch an interesting venue to host a big seated dinner. Very unassuming, considering it's just your good ol' neighborhood butcher shop / market by day. Off the bat you can tell they carry clean, wholesome products. The shelves and fridges are stacked with the likes of fresh meat cuts, house-made sauces, cheese, jams, pickled goods... the list goes on. I can only imagine their deli sandwich are incredible. I'll have to return to order from their regular cafe next time I'm in town. The event however, wow very well done and the menu was stacked. Their sweet staff kept bringing out family-style dishes and I didn't have a single bite that wasn't delicious. From the butcher's steak to the mussels and everything in between. Oh and the night finished with some kind of apple/cranberry pot pie situation. Wow. Oh and plenty of wine and cocktail options here too! Like plentyyyy. Keeping this place on my radar for when I'm next in the city. Thanks for having us!

    I wanted to like publican, but overall thought it was just okay. The portions are quite large, but…read moreis missing the finishing touches that are thoughtful to the customer. For example with my mussels, rather than this large chunk of baguette, I wouldn't preferred it pre-sliced. We went on a busy Saturday night and it was popping in here for sure. However because it was so busy, my table ended up being neglected and our waitress was impossible to flag down. In terms of vibes, it seems like a pretty cool place to be. I liked the chairs and then the little booths seem like a fun time. I was also a big fan of the bathroom sink. Overall, Publican was a fine time, and even better time if you're looking for meat forward dishes.

    This is the spot to get whole catfish, it's a great price and has been fresh each time! The size of…read morethe catfish is about 2 lbs and they're headless and skinless. This is the perfect size for making mohinga (Burmese catfish soup). They also have a fish service counter if you need them to cut it into smaller pieces. They have nice big sturdy plastic bags that can fit the whole fish. They have separate service counters for chicken, fish, and beef/pork which is helpful to reduce cross contamination. It's super cold so make sure you bring a down jacket and beanie! The service line sometimes takes a bit of time so just be aware of that. There are plenty of other meat offerings like whole chicken, pork, sausage, beef, etc. All of them look really fresh and very competitive pricing. There's also a grocery store section where you can buy fresh vegetables, spices, and even baked goods like paczkis. The Bavarian cream paczki was delicious and not too sweet. There's also bulk frozen foods like fries and jalapeno poppers (if I remember correctly). Finding a whole catfish in Chicago can be difficult and I'm glad I can always trust Peoria packing for my catfish needs. The whole 2 lb catfish was only $6, incredible deal! The parking lot is decently sized, on a busy day like Christmas or Thanksgiving you can drive further near where the trucks are parked and park along the fence. For special holiday hours they were responsive both through Instagram DM and phone calls to confirm their hours! Really great service. They recently moved to this new location in October 2025. It used to be near Fulton Market in West Loop. Different location but same great service and item selection, probably more spacious too.

The CTA bus stops right on the corner on Roosevelt Road, outside the store. It is cold inside the Butcher Shop, so be prepared- because they have an amazing selection of fresh meats- poultry- seafood and others. Give yourself time to shop, just wear a sweater or something! They also have a very impressive Grocery Store with all your daily needs; dairy; milk, eggs, frozen items; both veg, seafood and others. Very clean place and super nice to Check out. Make sure you wear the gloves they provide when you select your fresh items, in the Butcher Shop. Signs are up. They have the areas for each department where they can help you cut , scale fish or whatnot. Everything is labelled really well throughout the Shop and it's helpful for the customers. The design is simple- sleek- and modern. Fantastic prices. Very helpful people. $8.71 for A nice size Rib eye to grill! Chicken legs for .89 lb, wings were also a good price. Located on the South Side of Roosevelt Road West of Kilbourn, East of Cicero Avenue. The scrap metal yard is directly North of them. In a largely industrial area.
