    The Bulgarian Pork Shoulder is amazing.
    Anthony M.

    MEAT ME PARTY I've never been to this location but someone brought the sliced Bulgarian Pork Shoulder to a party. The platter of meat hit the table and everyone dived in. It was so good and we couldn't stop eating it. We finally asked the people who brought the dish about the meat. The funny part was that they were Bulgarian and no longer ate meat but they brought a meat platter to a party. I'm going to say that they are really cool. I can never imagine a world where a vegetarian would bring meat to a party. I will definitely go and get some of this meat for myself. It was like a really good prosciutto meets a pastrami lunch meat. They also brought a giant feta pie. When they put it on the table all you could smell was the butter. I was amazed at how strong the smell was. I knew that the flaky crust was going to be good. The lady who brought it told us that she wasn't sure about how it tasted because they have different varieties and this was the only one left. I waited for her to have a slice and then asked what she thought. She then told me that she has had better before. I enjoyed her honesty. After a couple of hours I cut myself a slice and honestly it was pretty bad. It was all dry feta cheese wrapped in a flaky croissant type of pastry. I'd never order this but the sliced meat was incredible. I truly know why this was the last feta pie available. If your looking to be a hit at your next party then bring a giant plate of sliced Bulgarian Pork Shoulder. You'll make new friends who will want to know all about your amazing meat. There's nothing more exciting then bonding over a giant plate of meat at a party. Think about serving this at your next summer party and then meat me at the food table because I will be there.

    This is by far the biggest Bulgarian grocery store in Chicago. It has a lot of the goodies I used to enjoy when I was a little girl. Their prices are phenomenal and the staff is awesome, they might seem a little sharp but in Bulgaria it's common and it's not meant to be rude. Also try their cheeses and meats in the deli, they have amazing Bulgarian-style sandwich meat ;) P.S. Pretty much any sweet you try will make your mouth water so even you won't go wrong with any selection, even if you're picky.

    The twin sisters were so helpful. Best place to shop for sweets, mineral water, feta cheese and salami.

    It reminded me of the little store in Bulgaria and it was great to get some Bulgarian snacks and juices.

I have written about three checks in the last 20 years but I also rarely carry cash, so it's not a place I'll get to often. But the staff were friendly and I would return if I had cash in hand. Lots of parking since it's in a shopping center with many other stores.

    So glad to have such a quality butcher in the neighborhood! It's cash or check only, FYI. Also upon…read morefirst impression, VERY clean. Family owned and like many others have stated, they treat you like family. Immediately upon walking in, I was greeted by a butcher who was more than helpful and kind. My husband and I are on a new health journey so I've often times asked MANY questions and he was patient and helpful with every answer. Even with him knowing I didn't have cash and had to leave and come back. Needed some quality burgers and brats for a friend's grilling birthday bash. Picked up beer brats upon recommendation (and a crowd favorite), Mediterranean turkey burgers (super good and I enjoyed them more than my husband did if I'm to be honest), prime rib burgers (currently vacuum sealed in the freezer), skin on hot dogs (best ever), cheddar and jalapeño burger (another fave!), and maybe a couple others I can't recall. Everything so far- fresh and from what I've frozen, has been delicious. We typically shop at Paulina Market so it's been wonderful to find a shop closer at the same level (in our opinion). It is pricey as some have stated but you're paying for what you get. They have an amazing selection of prepared foods as well. Worth stopping in for! Can't wait to restock.
