    Ribeyes, butter, short ribs, skirt steak and pork belly
    Deborah P.

    1000% recommend. Been here many times and the owner and staff are out of this world friendly. The owner brought to the back to show his new smoker, let us try their beans (delish!) and then had us try their tamales. Hands down the best I've ever had. They hand trim all the meats in front of you, and to the thickness you want for steaks, skirt and bacon. This haul was around $850, but completely worth it for the customer service, the taste testing, and the best Grade A beef you could ask for.

    I was there for the first time and will definitely be back! Pat the owner gave me a personal tour - showed me around their facilities and explained everything about their business! I was impressed. It's like a real museum there, looks so nice and cozy for the butcher store. I bought some filet mignon and cooked according to their recipe - it was so juicy and tender!

    Mundelein's hidden gem. One-stop shop for real beef, wine and meal. They sell other items as well. The owner and the staff are helpful and friendly. You can ask them anything. We even got advice on grilling. They are open 7 days. They also have daily specials.

    Our new favorite place. Pat (owner and butcher) is so passionate about beef. He knows his stuff. Staff is friendly. Location is clean. Great selection. The guacamole is AMAZING. Sounds crazy to get fresh guacamole from a butcher, but trust me, it's the best.

    Without a doubt the best filet I have ever had anywhere. The owner (Pat) hand trims everything right in front of you and wraps it up for storage. This place is a real throwback to the time when people had pride in their work and wanted real relationships with their customers. Can't say enough good things about this place. Will definitely keep coming back.

    Am I able to preorder prime rib for the holidays?

    Hello, yes we will begin taking orders right after Thanksgiving. Thank you

    Where can I get some quality prime steaks delivered to Iowa?

    Joe, I am sorry but we do not offer shipping. We have top quality prime beef that you can purchase, however, you would have to inquire about shipping overnight with a shipping carrier of your choice. Thank you.

    Prices are not posted. You can call the store for more information.

    Hello what time does this place actually open? Was looking forward to it after seeing the reviews. Waited at 9am on Sunday until 9 :16 am and door is still locked. Called to check around 9:06 and was told 5 min more.

    You can get some really great deals on fresh produce, but can be a little crowded. Be sure to check…read morethe dates of your prepackaged items; a lot of expired items specifically labeled GF.

    Of the two Garden Fresh locations, this one really is better than the Buffalo Grove location in…read moreevery way -- larger, more selection, more parking, and more attractive decor. I'm not sure if there's other international markets in this area that are really anywhere near as large (super huge stores like H-Mart, Assi, Seafood City, etc. are quite far from Mundelein). This store is truly impressive in the amount of options offered from hot food to produce to dried foods to foods from other local shops. Due to the size of the store, there is considerably more room to walk around and check out products here even where they're busy -- similar to the experience you'd get a Woodman's. The amount of decorations and displays is definitely much better here than most other grocery stores, rivaling Mariano's in terms of presentation. Prices are fair here, particularly for the international items which are competitively priced here compared to non-specialty stores. The produce is fresh and plentiful, with options for more unusual fruits and vegetables as well. At the end of the store, there's also a spot for dining and a few small shops. Overall worth a trip if you're looking for a one-stop-shop for all your grocery needs. This provides a comprehensive and enjoyable shopping expereince.
