Carnivore in Oak Park…read more This is a butcher shop and fish market that also sells sandwiches I can't really decide if the old time decor is by design or if the place is really needing an upgrade. I actually think it's the latter. It's a lot smaller than I imagined with very limited seating. We went here for the grilled salmon sandwich. We had seen many online reviews saying it is amazing. They make the sandwiches right in front of you, so you know that they are fresh. We took our sandwiches to go and by the time we got them home , they were cold. The fries traveled well, but again they were also cold bu the time we got home. The grilled salmon sandwiches were very good, but not great , and I really would have loved to have eaten it warm. Prices are on the high side for the butcher meats. But I guess you should expect that since they are an artisanal butcher. I did not like the look of some of the meats in the cases. Would we go back? Maybe to try the Bacon Burger. But we would definitely recommend eating your food in the butcher shop and not taking it to go. I have just found out that that are moving into Carnival Grocery in Oak Park.

As soon as I walked in, I saw so many goodies I knew I was taking home. They had a very well curated selection of fancy condiments from small makers, rare ingredients, and the highest quality version of many every day foods! Everyone behind the counter was so friendly and knowledgeable. I had to try one of their sandwiches and got the salmon po boy at their recommendation. It was really well seasoned and super fresh with a very generous slice of fish on it. Definitely coming back for another one next time I'm in the area! Thank you so much for great service and products!

Both the beef and the empanadas were extremely dry and tasteless. I love to cook so I wanted a break of cooking! To make matters worse, the customer service was awful.

The restaurant is also tiny, with only three tables available. We will definitely not be back. Good luck.

Needless to say, I'll be ordering again... and next time, everyone better order their own!

I did a pickup, and when I was inside the restaurant, I was greeted immediately. The two ladies were very nice and kind as I told them it was my first time. They wanted me to review them, which I said I would. The crust on the pizza was crispy with a great ratio of sauce to cheese, it was not too sweet, and had plenty of pepperoni. It also was not too greasy like other places. The price was a little high though. Definitely a good place to check out for some delish pizza!

Wanted to like this place, but wasn't impressed. Nearly $20 after tax for a sandwich is steep, but…read moreok if it delivers the goods. Being their signature sandwich, you expect it to be impressive. It was good, but light on the meat. What killed it for me though was the fact that the bread was stale. That's unacceptable for this price level. There are plenty of other better options in the area.

We shared this was our first time and he guided us through the ordering process without any pressure. I had the Original Alpine Sub. It is described as their flagship sandwich, and often called one of the best Italian subs in the Chicago area. It comes piled with salami, capicola, mortadella, provolone, lettuce, onion, seasoning, and their signature secret oil dressing. The bread was classic turano bread, so fresh. The sandwich was incredible, The meats were fresh and piled high, making it impossible to eat it in one sitting. My husband had a Corned Beef Sandwich. The corned beef was thinly slices and served with provolone and a variety of toppings. We also had a homemade cannoli. The food was excellent and service waqs outstanding. It is easy to see why they have been in business for 70 years.
