Inside view.

Really cute place, friendly staff, and a nice mix of both artisanal meats and vegetarian-friendly sandwich options with nice sides. I had the Nduja grilled cheese and it was fantastic with lots of melty cheese and sausage that was just the right amount of spicy on good grilled bread.

Chocolate chip cookie

Cute deli to stop by and grab lunch. The sandwich was good but a little pricey I feel for what you get. The chocolate chip cookie is really delicious. There are a lot of drink options and snacks to choose from. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Definitely worth trying!

I'm always apprehensive when ordering anything in river north because the mediocrity far outweighs the stellar items. Had it not been for an $5 off incentive I probably would've never tried this place after one look over the menu prices. The mayo is the driving force of flavor here & the chicken is on the smaller side. They should've opted for a breast versus fingers. With chips & a drink your hunger will be satisfied however this'll run you about $30.

Small sandwich next to a a napkin for size reference

I got a meatball sandwich and the taste was very good but there was more wrap paper than sandwich. $16 for a small sandwich overall was not worth it. Cool tunes in the background and ambiance is very trendy. I suppose you're mainly paying for the experience.

Meat is high quality. The staff is top notch…read more The shop is small, so phone in orders make your stop quick and easy.

We're in town during Thanksgiving for the first time in a decade. I ordered all the sides from…read moretowne and oak (delish), the pies from three tarts (perfection) and then I need a turkey. I checked Yelp and ordered from Hofherr Meat based on the stellar reviews. I often peek into Hofherr Meat when walking into Shred415 so was excited to finally try it! About 2 days before I was telling a friend where i got my turkey and she asked me how i plan to cook it. Cook it?? It literally had not occurred to me that my turkey would be raw. If it's not obvious from this review and ALL my restaurant reviews the kitchen is not where I shine. I called Hofherr to ask if they could cook my turkey and while apparently they do that it was too late to put in the request. Good to know for next time. Wednesday morning I joined the rest of the North Shore to pick up my raw turkey. I ran into a friend while waiting for it who is more of an expert when it comes to making turkeys and she asked them to give me gravy, a turkey bag (apparently easier and lessy messy to cook in a bag) and some directions. The next day I followed their directions along with some help from my bestie chatgpt. I stuck it in the oven and crossed my fingers we wouldn't be going without a turkey this thanksgsiving. We had a little mishap when the thermometer melted into the turkey (oops), but besides that it really wasn't too difficult of a process. And while I had trouble eating a turkey after seeing it raw my family was thrilled that it was perfectly moist and praised my turkey making skills. I did have a few bites and did think it was pretty good- and i dont even like turkey. I would definitely get my turkey from here again, although next time i'll be ordering a cooked turkey out of convenience. But for those of you who like to cook a turkey I recommend them!
