We love Thuringer's we are there every week. Always pleased with the product. The tuna salad is good. Never been disappointed. John does a fantastic job. read more

Seems like a good place but it seems to be pretty busy. I think we waited about 15 minutes to be helped, though perhaps it's because it was Memorial Day weekend. The prices were reasonable. I picked up some potato pancakes from their cooler/freezer section, so I'm looking forward to trying those and seeing if the kiddo likes them. There's a private parking lot in the plaza. read more

Thuringer Meats - Meat Shops Near Me - Arlington Heights, Illinois

Good overall. The steak we bought was very good, but not inexpensive. Will try the Blackforest brat and see. Bit of an odd location.

Everything we purchased was fresh. The sirloin tip roast, pork chops, pork roast & frozen jalapeños cheddar hamburgers were delicious & tender. Priced very reasonable. Definitely worth the trip & will return. read more

Everything we've ever purchased and eaten from Thuringer's has been outstanding. Never have been disappointed. The steaks are prime meat. The salads are homemade with NO preservatives. And the counter staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Can't go wrong at Thuringer's. read more

Went here for the first time and it was great service and meat was great. I would highly recommend them! Prices are really good, and they are busy all the time and I can see why! read more

Excellent service and recommendations for our party. Quality of the meats was superb. Highly recommended!

I love Thuringer Meats. I buy their prepared meals, their cold cuts and salads. Everything is delicious

We were in visiting for a family reunion and came to Thuringer's to get some of their hamburgers and smoked pork chops . The staff was very helpful they cut us 12 pork chops as we waited . The hamburgers were delicious and juicy. They even gave tips on cooking times which was appreciated . All in all a very nice experience . I only wish we lived in the area so that we could try some of their other meats . A full service butcher shop worth the trip. read more

Some of the best quality and tastiest meats in the area, but you have to be willing to pay for quality. They are also the most expensive in the area. I only go there for special occasions when I am hosting important company. read more

I buy all of my meat, lunch meat, sausage, brats, potatoes and spaghetti sauce at Thuringer Meats. I make sure I go there once a week. Their meat and other products are delicious! read more

Friendly, informative staff. Fantastic quality and selection. Highly recommended. Whatever the opposite of a chain grocery store butcher counter is, that's Thuringer's. read more

Always purchase the pasta sauce and I always purchase their sausage. Both are phenomenal read more

Omg the Italian wedding soup, the chicken rice soup, the beef barley, the meatballs, the chicken pot pie, the lasagna, the veal parm And I'd I ever cook with chicken stock I use theirs! Plus great marrow bones for the pups. Awesome prime rib at Christmas two years in a row. Nowhere has the veal shank like they do for osso Bucco....and haven't event tried the burgers or sausages yet...great kind people. Best I've ever experienced read more

Love the steaks, frozen fish and some of the prepared meals for kids. Great place with nice customer service!

I have visited Thuringer Meats only once but it was an awesome experience. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the interior was clean and well organized. The meat selection is extensive and they have some frozen options too. There are homemade meals that are also offered in the frozen foods cooler. The deli and other various meats are high quality and cut to order, when possible. The Ribeye steak I purchased grilled nicely and popped with flavor. The lamb loin chops were fresh and tasty too. Looking forward to shopping here again soon! 100% recommend! read more

With all of this COVID-19 stuff going around, it was hard to find what I was looking for in the normal places. I remember going past this place probably 1000 times and I was wondering what it's like inside. I ended up finding exactly what I was looking for which happened to be four porterhouse steaks and then also picked up a package of frozen Hungarian bratwurst to cook at another time on my grill. I told the person helping me exactly what I was looking for and boy, did he hit the nail right on the head! I cooked the porterhouse steaks for an anniversary dinner, they were absolutely outstanding! A week later I cooked the Hungarian bratwurst, they were also extremely good. Can't wait to go back and explore my other meat options at this butcher. I would highly recommend checking out what they have so much better than at any grocery store or discount place such as Sam's Club or Costco. read more

Great service, great meat! This business has been here for years. When my parents lived near by we use to split a 1/2 cow. Once I moved to the area naturally I stared buying from this gem! read more

Great meats, always fresh. Also soups, sides and prepared frozen meals that are delicious. The butchers are knowledgeable and helpful.

I wanted to make my wife a Prime Rib dinner for her birthday, and I wanted to try a local dedicated butcher rather than just seeing what I could find at the grocery. I'd heard other people mention Thuringer, and it gets good reviews, so I checked it out. Thuringer's shop is well organized and efficiently run. I explained what I wanted and what I was doing, and the counter guy asked a couple of questions and made some suggestions. They cut rib roasts to order, so I had to wait about half an hour (they said next time I could call it in ahead of time). As I expected, the price was a bit more than I was used to paying at the grocery meat counter, but the roast...what a magnificent piece of prime beef. They had double-wrapped it then bagged it, and when I got it home I saw it had a proper fat cap, and they'd cut away the bones and tied them back on with twine, saving me the trouble (and doing a cleaner job). I haven't cooked it yet, but I already know I'll be going back to try some of their other offerings. read more

If you haven't been here, you are missing out. The best of the best. Highlights are the beef tenderloin and the stuffed chicken for me. Great wings and bread stuffing too. The guys are all great people. read more

Fabulous service, quality meats. Love Thüringer. Been coming here for years and will continue !

First time here and will be back for more meats. Burgers were flavorful and juicy. Today was a spin on our new grill with our first attempt at NY Strip. Strip cooked on our new grill, 3 minutes high heat per side, plus 4 minutes per side on indirect heat. AMAZING. Brats coming up tomorrow, expecting greatness. read more

Great meat, lovely service! Can think of nothing bad. In addition to fresh meat and sausages, they offer a wide variety of frozen items including fish, meat stock, chicken items. read more

This place has been around for a long time in Arlington Heights. We learned about it from a friend who always has delicious meat meals when she invites us over for dinner. If you want top quality meats, this is the place to come. It's one of those hidden gems and a great place to frequent if you don't want to fight the crowds at the meat counter at Mariano's on Northwest Highway. (This place is about 4 minutes south of there.) We've never gotten anything less than excellent meat from this place. You can also stop in here and have them make you a deli sandwich while you're out and about and want a quick lunch without having to eat 'fast food'. (They even have a refrigerator with soda.) And the premade meals they have are so convenient when you're looking for something to have for dinner on your way home from work. They also have complementary items like potatoes and onions along with sauces and breads. It's a great quick place to come if you want to put together a comfort food meals and don't feel like fighting the crowds at the grocery stores in order to do it. read more

This is the second year we have bought our New Year's Eve meat from Thuringer. Both the beef tenderloin and the prime rib were outstanding! The service is amazing and they made us feel valued and welcome. The rub they give with their meat was wonderful, and the experience of visiting is always fun! Highly recommended. read more

But all your meat from this place. Awesome. Great staff and management and quality meat. Be well. Happy New Year.

Love everything about this store except this one thing. Is it just me or someone else is wondering why customers cannot see for themselves the weight of the meats they are purchasing on the scales? Only the butcher. Than he writes it down...Hmm...Very annoying and therefore I feel that they must be cheating and charging more. Otherwise why they would do so? I may be wrong but please turn on the scales for the customers to see how many pounds of meats we are actually buying. read more

Fantastic selection of fresh meats. Brisket from there was awesome on our smoker. Very friendly and helpful. Please do pay attention to their packaging. We bought a turkey London broil, removed the vacuum packed bag, baked it then discovered that it was wrapped in a second bag. Beautiful piece of meat we had to throw away, very sad. read more

I grew up in Madison WI always going to Kens Meat Market and I am so happy to say it's met it's match! Amazing cuts, great staff with awesome attitudes and good food that will keep the whole family happy! Can't wait to get back here for our isolation Memorial Day grilling! read more

I liked this place a lot. Fantastic brats and Italian sausages! Owners we're kind and attentive. Definitely will return!

I LOVE THE MEAT HERE!!! the skirt steak is the best thing i've ever tried!!! The business has been going for years, but a friend of mine recommended me the burgers!! And those were so good too!!10/10 Recommend read more

I ordered a goose in December 21, wanted 8 lbs., was told it doesn,t exist (it does!), minimum is 10 lbs., ordered a small one and received 14 lbs.! In over 80 years, I have never received such a bad product. Way too much fat! Although I had removed all visible fat inside, more than half a gallon of fat spilled to the pan after frying. It was definitely not "young" and "free range", at a cost of $150, The shop pretends to sell highest quality products at affordable prices (for the rich!). read more

I pass this shop all of the time and after reading great reviews on my neighborhood FB page, I decided to visit. Thuringer Meats is amazing! My kids, who hate everything, are raving about the chicken and steak that I brought home. The prices are competitive with grocery stores and the service was amazing. I haven't tried the frozen items yet, but the butcher told me that they were all homemade. read more

Customer service is wonderful, their pre made frozen hamburger patties are moist and great taste. Our favorite is their chicken pot pie. Easy dinner and the gravy in the pot pie is so tasty! Smoked Polish sausage is perfect. Try this butcher! read more

After living in Arlington Heights for over 25 years we went to Thuringer for the very first time. Really liked the selection of meats and fish. As we were telling the butcher what steaks we wanted it was to my surprise that he picked up the steaks with his bare hands. This totally turned me off! Where are your gloves! You would think that a place like this would handle their meat in a professional way especially when customers are standing right in front of you. Very disappointing. Will not be back! read more

A genuine, old-fashioned butcher shop: I'd thought they disappeared sometime during my childhood! But Thuringer's is alive and well, selling prime meats (I believe they make their own sausages). This is where we go to buy veal and other cuts of meat to make a special meal (we've bought the Thanksgiving turkey here for a few years, now). Their burgers and Sheboygan brats are excellent (you'll never eat Johnsonville again), their cheeses and lunchmeat are tasty. As well, the shop sells frozen pre-made meals and side dishes to heat up for dinner. Service is outstanding; the owners know their customers and cater to them. If you want something they don't have, they can probably special order it for you. read more
