Fantastic market in an assuming location. Mike's is legendary to some around these western suburbs. We have come here for years and it never lets us down. The Grill Master brats and burgers are a go to (cheddar and onion mixed in). Mike's also has a great deli selection with fresh made sandwiches and a bevy of sides to choose from. The chicken salads are all terrific. read more

Amazing meats and a Great team working there. Been going to Mike's for decades and still find myself going there even tho I now live further west. Try their blackened ribeye. It's not blackened how you would expect....its more like a glazing and they are always trimmed nicely. Phenomenal. Very good deli as well with a lot of prepared side dishes. Definitely worth trying. read more

Small grocery and meat market with a great selection and super friendly staff. All the cuts are immaculate, and the butchers will package and dress things how you ask without even a blink. Nice deli selection of Boars Head and miscellaneous prepared items as well as a freezer full of prepped meals and other staples. Also 3ish aisles of packaged/box goods. They'll even take phone orders and have it bagged and ready to go within a couple hours. read more

This place is still amazing. It's definitely my go-to butcher shop in the area. I have tried more items, and everything has been delicious. The Caribbean Jerk marinade is phenomenal as well. read more

I stopped there one afternoon small place great customer service overall decent and prices I got a hanger steak some Mexican corn and a sandwich no complaints love to keep small places like this open read more

This place is the bomb! Their meats are ridiculously awesome. The deli section is great! I highly recommend this place.

We popped in here while exploring some other spots in the same strip mall. If you're doing Thanksgiving solo/for two, this may be the place for you: they had prepared meals in the fridge when you first walk in. Along the back wall was a very nice looking meat counter with welcoming staff. There are also several shelves of dry goods. I will have to return and check out the meat selection more thoroughly when I have my cooler with me! read more

Super pleased with customer service here. I was promptly taken care of and will definitely come back again. Hard to find small successful business these days. Happy for them. read more

Great sandwiches and amazing service. The staff was very kind and helpful. Will be stopping in to pick up meats and sandwiches from this family owned local business. read more

I've had Mike's on my list for awhile. A few friends mentioned how great it was and they were right on. Came in looking for lamb shank, and they only had frozen. Yet I managed to find so much more, and $140 later... First impression, awesome! Men behind counters were ultra friendly. I think I saw 4-5 guys just asking people If they've been helped alone. Two guys at register. No shortage of help or service here. And at no point did I feel rushed, very welcoming and feel good vibe. I stopped in around 3pm on a weekday and there was a decent crowd here, but not super busy. They had their game on. Being a first timer, I had to step back and just take in all of the glorious meats, seafood and sides. Prepared fresh meals: individual meatloaf, stuffed peppers, various salads, twice baked potatoes, crab stuffed mushrooms, spinach stuffed shrooms...and on and on. I was in variety heaven! Their chicken kiev is very popular and happened to be on sale $8/lb. I grabbed 4. Had that homemade taste. Neatly placed in aluminum containers. They provide cooking instructions on pkg and wrap nicely. And you can freeze for the following week. Bone in rib eye was the star of the show and gorgeous thick cuts. $18/lb. Various marinated salmon. Nice seafood selection. So good. They even have a frozen section of all their house made dinners. Large and mini pot pies. Frozen meats and more. Good looking deli and cheese offerings. Burgers were fantastic. You're getting top quality here, and you pay a little extra for it, yet I felt prices were reasonable. Market is on smaller side. Modest selection of accompaniments for your dinner. Even some fresh produce, burger buns, condiments. Spices and seasonings. Basically they've got you covered for a last minute dinner. Crab stuffed shrooms were ok, but I loved everything else. Definately try their kiev, and steaks and anything else you see that looks good ;) Until next time Mike..Im gonna have to limit our visits.. read more

Great find in Villa Park, meat market with unique items including prepared food. We got the stuffed pork chops that we ended up cooking on the pellet grill. They were fantastic! Tip, this location is associated with Caseys Market in Western Spring. read more

I decided to go to a speciality market for meat for the holiday and I simply couldn't afford anything in this store. Times are tough and inflation is high but we need businesses to help us out a little. The prices at this place were insane. read more

I have been going here in Mike's Meat Market for quite a long time now and they never ever disappointed me with their products. It is a small meat, deli and few grocery store. It was clean and for a small store it is a bit spacious. They have an amazing selection of meat and deli. There was a lot of desired cuts or quantities to choose from. Portion sizes are also and the prices are very reasonable. The products they sell are fresh and has a great quality. There is this shelf that has a lot of ingredients and seasoning whenever I want to cook a nice decent meal. They also have a small selection for fresh vegetables. The other good thing here is their staff are always helpful whenever you need assistance. Butcher are always friendly and sometimes funny. This is a really nice store and I will continue to buy in here because it is also a great feeling supporting a local business. read more

Great store wonderful employees A good choice of food in the deli. Good Ambiance

Everyone in the area had sold out of Corned Beef today, except Mike's. I have heard so many good things about them but never tried them. I picked up a corned beef and I have to say it was the BEST corned beef I've ever had! I'm sold and will be back for all meat needs. Thank you, Mike's!! read more

We have been going there for a couple of years now and they were highly recommended and I'm glad they were. They have Wonderful customer service, Great stuffed mushrooms, they are very knowledgeable of how to prepare the large selection of meat also they have a wide selection of side dishes and salads which are great in a pinch. read more

Mike's product quality and his staff's attention to detail have made this shop our go-to butcher. Whether in busy season or not the team bends over backwards to help but has time for a chat as well. Rarely see this kind of quality these days. read more

My Dad, Fred, was a customer for many years and now we are too! The owner always works in the meat department and knows his customers well! Their side dishes are tasty and I ve recently been getting their homemade meatloaf which we all enjoy! Mikes is a well run family business! read more

When I recently decided to splurge on a beef tenderloin to prepare for some guests I was entertaining, I asked around as to where the best place to obtain my meat would be. Mike's was the clear winner as far as fan favorite, and I can see why. Their cases overflow with beautiful cuts of meat, cold cuts and everything else you'll find standard in a deli. Tho not much on looks from the outside, the market inside is very tidy, clean and professional looking. It also doesn't have that "deli smell" you find in other places. There's an assortment of convenience groceries available, dry goods and the like, but I've never taken much interest in them. My favorites are the meat. I ordered my tenderloin over the phone, so when I came to pick it up it would be clean, stringed off and ready to prepare. I wasn't disappointed. Every bit of fat was delicately trimmed off for me. It was probably the most buttery, melt-in-your-mouth piece of beef that I've ever cooked. I'd definitely go back. And I want to try some of the prepared foods they have in their fridge section. They look incredible. Don't come here expecting discount prices. You get quality, but you pay for quality. read more

Trying my hand at tapas and a recipe called for lamb. WHAT? I've never cooked lamb before. When I read "lamb", there was only one place I wanted to visit where I knew I'd get good quality meat. MIKES! When the butcher asked me how I was cooking it (marinated and grilled) he steered me away from the chops and suggested leg of lamb. Um, yeah. You did hear I never cooked lamb before, right? He offered to cut up the lamb in the needed portion sizes and promised me that leg of lamb will be just fine. Taking his suggestion, the price of my purchase was much less than if I went with chops. Bonus for saving me money! If you visit, check out the produce as well. There's not a very large selection, but on that particular day I found bunches of asparagus that was much bigger and cheaper than my local produce market. Bonus again! Great service and great selection of meats and deli items. 5 stars easily. By the way, the lamb was a big hit at my tapas party! Yay Mikes! read more

Located in a strip mall on the SW corner of Villa and St. Charles, Mike's Meat Market has a great selection and quality of meats as well as side items for any occasion. I purchased some ribs and a roast for a barbecue. The prices were competitive for what I was looking for and the meat ended up being quite meaty. Some items, however, seemed a little pricey considering it was only a slight upgrade. I got rave reviews for the ribs, which I give myself very little credit for putting on the rub as the smoker did most of the work! Service was pretty good, too. I also go for their Thursday sandwich special ($3.50 for their regular $4.98 sandwiches) and they provide some good recommendations (Tavern ham and salami). Since the line can be long due to the holidays, I've had people take my purchase over to the meat counter and pay there. Overall, a solid place for your special purchases and to check out. read more

Mike's has been in business for more than 50 years. Excellent meats; oustanding deli with big delicious sandwiches and salads. We get our turkey from there every year. Always get cold cuts and sides for parties from there also. Love this place! read more

LOVE this place. My bf and I recently moved to Elmhurst and were looking for a place to buy a good steak. Randomly drove by this place one day and decided to try it out... Boy, am I glad we did!! EVERYONE in this place is super friendly and helpful and their meats are amazing! Prices are suprisingly reasonable, and to be honest, well worth it! I came in here expecting to pay more than I would at those big chain grocery stores, and was pleasantly surprised to find they really weren't that much more. But the quality is MUCH better. They also make to-go sandwiches and custom sandwiches in the deli, which are also amazing! We will definitely be back and I highly recommend this place! read more

Sloppy customer service was the experience today, picking up a holiday order in a very uncrowded store. Our order had to be retrieved from the fridge while we waited at checkout for a good 5 to 10 minutes. Employees standing around shooting the breeze. Finally one of them realized our order was right there...in the pick up area...and finally checked us out. Who knows how long our wait would have been if I hadn't asked about the delay. Train them, talk to them, motivate them, Mr Mike, before you lose customers. read more

I like a great steak like any other carnivore... so for New Years Eve my husband and I decided to grill up some Filet Mignon. So I went to Mike's for my perfect Filet quest. Mike's always has a great case or two full of meat, sausage, seafood.. anything and everything you can ask for... I walk on in and case out the store before I make my way back to the cases... By the time I get back there, there are tons of people standing there placing orders... tickets in their hands... I rip off my ticket and search for my "Golden Fleece". I finally find what I wanted... nice sized, plump Filets and then I gazed down at the lb. pricing... it was about $25.00 a lb. I almost had a heart attack. I couldn't believe my eyes... They then called my number.. again and again and then they went onto the next. I was in shock. I took my ticket, threw it in my pocket and walked out of the store empty handed. I called up my husband and asked what Filet usually ran for a lb. and he said $18.00. and that is for "Choice"... not Select, nor for Prime. The price they were charging was absurd. So I made my way to my usual fallback, our Dominick's Fresh Store. (I ended up getting two FANTASTIC Filets... they were the same size/Choice, as the ones being featured at Mike's, at $15.99 a lb. But then they also were running a great deal so I got both steaks for $14.47... so it was a win win situation for our New Years Eve din din.) End all be all.... If Mike's wants to keep great local shoppers happy they shouldn't be charging the prices they are charging. read more

I've been going to Mike's for a very long time, started when they were on Park Blvd in VP. For Christmas I ordered a Turkey breast by itself and I have to compliment staff for a terrific tasting, no sodium drenched piece of delicious meat. They're always accommodating and highly recommendable. Thanks for being who you are. read more

So this little market is located in what looks like a run down strip mall, but my husband swears by it so we walked on in. I was so pleasantly surprised! The men behind the meat counter were so knowledgable about their products, couldn't have been more helpful, and they even recommend how to cook whatever you order! There was a huge variety of meats, fish, and seafood, as well as some semi prepared things like stuffed mushrooms, fajitas, etc. Yeah, prices are a bit higher, but everything is cut fresh and prepared in house, and the customer service rocks. They also have a deli and grocery section which I did not check out but will be back for some meats! read more

This place is/was my go to place for both deli/lunch meat and steak, chicken, chops etc. I would go weekly, unfortunately the store seems to have new management and it shows. The once happy helpful employees seem hamstrung and afraid to say anything. It's so sad when you see poor management crush a once super family friendly business. For the money I can go to Whole Foods for meat that is grass fed and free range. I hope ownership sees the mistake and changes back to the old business model. I can buy deli/meat of same quality a lot of places. The employees and family friendly store was the reason to go and that's gone. What a shame. read more

I preferred this place in their old location, it really seemed like you were really going to an old school meat shop. But now it's like a little market and I don't like it and it's really spendy and annoying. BUT they do still have good stuffed mushrooms read more

This my friends is a Meat Market (no not that kind!). Great customer service. Great selection of all type meats. Great deli full of choices. Knowledgeable neighbors selling top line product in a friendly environment. This is what it used to be like before the mega stores took over. If you want to see the old time butcher with the bloody apron then come here. (Maybe not the best visual.......................) read more

Great suburban butcher shop. Prices are definitely higher than a typical grocery store but the meat is well worth it. They offer great service too. read more
