The service was horrible and the lack of employees delayed the small Order with a very rude impression over the customers.

Fresh halal chicken. It's not close, but worth the trip. I stock up every time I visit.

I'm hesitant to write this review, because I don't want this place to catch on, become too popular…read moreand be unable to meat demand (sorry I had to...). Wallace is a rare combination of the highest quality product, convenience and affordability. Their website is simple to navigate and order from, while the monthly pick up as quick and easy as it gets, you're in and out in 30 seconds. The products, well I don't know where to begin. Everything I have purchased from them has been excellent (and there has been a lot). I have purged my kitchen of any grocery store bought meat and have switched solely to Wallace. Their meat comes vacuum sealed and frozen, which has resulted in my freezer being stocked to the brim with grassfed, organic and ethically raised meat. I challenge you to find a better steak in the city at any price, let alone the prices they charge. For a similar cut at these price points, you're probably looking at a styrofoam tray with a gray piece of meat on it from your local supermarket.

I've never actually been to the Wallace Farms warehouse in Naperville but I am familiar with their…read moreproducts. I place an order monthly and pick it up myself at their Wauconda drop-off. I was skeptical of their products at first because they are delivered frozen but everything is actually great quality. The grass-fed beef is tasty and healthy(er) than mass-produced beef you find at the grocery store. Don't get me wrong, I do enjoy a fatty piece of grain-fed steak every once in a while, but I also enjoy good health.. If I had to recommend one item to purchase from Wallace Farms, it's definitely the BACON. I'm pretty much over the whole bacon craze but Wallace Farms managed to change my mind. Their bacon has a flavor that is unlike any other bacon you've ever had. Trust me. Order it.

This is Disneyland for a FatGuy. I never took up tobacco,…read moreI'm a sensible imbiber of Alcohol, and but for a VERY few exceptions (and periods in my history) I wasn't drawn to recreational drugs. Lunchmeat and sausages, though... Thoroughly, positively, indubitably, and absolutely addicted throughout all of my 72 years. Mea culpa, pwned, signed, sealed, and delivered. (Yes I know that shit is NOT good for you or me; and I have, here in my dotage, adapted at least a smidgen of discipline in my consumption of said foodstuffs) But stepping into Reams is hard, my Brothers and Sisters, it's HARD. Temptation in the air, from the butcher shop aroma; Temptation in the eyes, from the never-ending displays in the cases, Temptation in situ from the beckoning samples placed like land mines throughout the store, and the myriad namecards everywhere you look. Temptation to cross gluttony off the "mortal sin" list, or at least create a scheme to take a parcel of fresh Bratwurst to one's next confession; slipping it to the padre hoping the penance is to leave the Mustard off the links for a week or two. I won't even try to describe the treats in store. There's just too much. And it goes beyond charcuterie. The steaks, the chops, the prepared meats. All top top quality. There's condiments, baked goods, wine and beer, even stuff for your dog. Want weird stuff? Offal and innards? It's all there. Seafood, too. And if you're one of those guys (like me) who dig "sausage stix" and Jerky, their home-made offerings are nonpareil. Ditto for their home-made potato salad-type thingies. It wouldn't surprise me to find a dozen Grandmothers fixing all this shit up behind the back wall. Here's another example: In the West Burbs of Chicago, the Czech butchers always had Daisy/Crawford Praszky for sale-It's a tasty Garlic juggernaut halfway between salami and summer sausage. Oscar Mayer WISHES they had something tasting this good. It's a Chicago Staple you'll never hear of through all the chatter about Hotdogs, Italian Beef, and Deep-Dish Pizza. Maybe it didn't get as far North as the Kosher neighborhoods, but on the South and west sides...oboy. Imagine my surprise when I saw Ream's version sitting almost hidden on the very bottom row of one of the cold chests lining the Southern wall. I've never seen it elsewhere, except for the echte Daisy/Crawford version. I thought it was a proprietary thing. Welp, here is Ream's iteration. I saw it while I was in line, and as I already had a cart full of custom-cut stuff, I didn't add it to the haul that day, but the NEXT time we're in deepest Elburn, I'm SO there. Every theory has a corollary, and I was disappointed to learn Ream's quit making their excellent Head Cheese. Yes I know, "head cheese" is on the "fear factor" list with Anchovies, Limburger Cheese, Czarnina (q.v.), and Haggis; but IYKYK, this is a significant loss. Oh well. And about that "it's not good for you" thing: Yeah, there's a lot of fat in sausages, but I am without doubt Reams has no truck with nasty chemicals, or cheating the recipes to add bulk in the name of profits. I'm also pretty sure they're using the best quality sources and the best cuts to make their stuff. Ream's is WAY the fuck out there in the far far far Western Burbs. It isn't quite Eastern Iowa, but it may seem like that during the journey there. And if you're looking for a bargain, shop at Aldi. If this was an Auto Dealer, they'd be selling Mercedes, Audis, and Lamborghinis. Make sure you have some free limit on your cards if you come out here to shop. It also is certain you will buy MORE than you planned to. Mark my words. Then again, Distance and price be damned. If you demand pure excellence, You pay the tab without a gripe. But when you make a sandwich, or pull one of their steaks off the grill, or have a snack of their heavenly Pimento Cheese on a cracker; or shook a bottle of one of the boutique sauces on who-cares-what, or took a bite of a Brat with SERIOUS "snap"... You'll smile quietly knowing you got what you paid for. Perhaps more. And THAT is a rare occurrence in these days of "interesting times"

I don't come here often, but when I do, I'll join the droves of people gathering around the Meat…read moreCounter waiting methodically for your number to be called, Yep, it's a 'cattle call' for those willing to throw 5 Stars for a slab of Beef or Pork with 'Steakhouse' prices. Apparently, people tend to become enamored over some 'Meat Stix'! It's good, but it ain't the only place around serving the best meat imaginable!

Bottom Line: A real deal butcher shop for the unabashed, real deal meat lover. Top quality, fresh…read moremeat but do not expect cheap meat. This is not what you may remember as your Mom's or Grandmother's butcher shop. In my view they are a specialty shop providing premium quality at premium prices. The store is tucked in the corner of a small shopping center and parking can be a challenge on a Saturday. It is clean and bright. I am glad to see though, that there are still artisans with a commitment to quality, and craftsmanship in a trade--AI, thankfully, has no place here in delivering fresh, luxurious cuts of beef, pork and other fine meat either pre-cut or carved to your specifications. I have not been here before so I decided to give them a try starting with several, precut NY Strip steaks and several burger patties to prepare on the grill. The service is polite and professional--not a lot of time for chit-chatting with your butcher like I remember my Grandmother doing. There were several customers waiting in the small shop so I did not feel comfortable trying to dive into the particulars of the meat sourced so I just went with it. The steaks were fairly large cuts, just over one inch thick, and with what struck me as medium marbleization. The USDA grade was not posted on the price tags (that I saw). I decided to see if I could get away with a reverse sear on the steaks and it worked out pretty well though I kept the precook at a lower temperature than I normally would with a thicker cut for fear of over cooking them before I got them to the grill. That worked out well, getting them off the grill at medium doneness. The steaks were reasonably tender, juicy, with, as hoped, a luscious, beefy umami and enjoyed by my guests. I paired everything with a nice Côt which was just perfect. I decided to try the burgers on the griddle top, done to medium, and they were flavorful and juicy. I have to say I was satisfied with the quality and did not feel taken to the cleaners at almost $30 a pound for the steaks though I am not sure this will be a weekly stop (that price point was one of the lower ones in the shop). I will, however, come back for those times I am having special guests or family for those special occasions and will likely update then.

Stellar service, incredibly good beef and pork. This is where to get the beef tenderloin or pork…read morechops that will make a special occasion memorable for years.
