Cashier area - A large signboard at Wild Fork highlights product sourcing, variety, freezing techniques, handling, and shopping convenience.

Let me just say that I got invited to an event around Thanksgiving. It was a sampling event where we got to try out foods that they offered in store. I just read another review below that said it's also for easy prep meals, adventurous meats, and seafood galore. I came back to Wild fork tonight because I remembered that they said they had a lot of easy meals for those who didn't feel like cooking. I grabbed the chicken curry (family size) and the mashed sweet potatoes (also family size). I came home and followed the directions as stated... and now I'm obsessed! This curry is amazing and so easy to make. The sweet potatoes shouldn't be paired up with the chicken curry together but still a delicious choice.

Store - Inside a grocery store, frozen meat is displayed in a freezer, with balloons floating above. The store has signage for low prices and sections for fruits, desserts, and quick meal solutions.

There are a few types of people who should check out Wild Fork: 1.Meat lovers 2. Easy prep fans 3. Adventurous eaters 4. Home chefs Why? I've stopped by the store a few times and each visit I've been impressed with the selection of meats, semi-prepared and/or cooked meals, exotic meats and recipes using their products -- and of course the value for the quality. The staff are always friendly and the stores are always clean and stocked. I've tried so many of their products and their meats and seasonings take the cake! I have enjoyed Wild Fork so much that I picked up a few gift cards gif family members so they can try it too!

Gross Mac & Cheese - A black plastic container holds macaroni and cheese with a creamy sauce, placed next to a Wild Fork menu featuring aged white cheddar macaroni and cheese.

The aged white cheddar Mac & cheese is like soup and does not adhere to the noodles. I would not buy this item again. I followed the instructions correctly.

Inside - Frozen food freezers are lined up in an aisle of a grocery store, with signage indicating freshness and pricing.

This place is open as of 2 years ago. The first thing you notice is that the place is spotless and immaculate and everything is easy to see. This store used to be a former bank so there is a drive through where there's free parking. All the meat is packaged and vacuum sealed in clear plastic. There are many different pieces and ranges of types of meat as well as fish, and also frozen vegetables and prepackaged cooked seafood, as well as dessert in boxes. There are pre-cooked seafood bundles, as well as pre-cut ginger, garlic, and parsley, for example. They are in perfect portioned sizes for cooking. Prices are reasonable. The quality of the products are somewhat better here as they have some grass fed meat and wild caught items. and they are trying to be kind to the environment (see pics). Thank you!

I wanted to like publican, but overall thought it was just okay. The portions are quite large, but…read moreis missing the finishing touches that are thoughtful to the customer. For example with my mussels, rather than this large chunk of baguette, I wouldn't preferred it pre-sliced. We went on a busy Saturday night and it was popping in here for sure. However because it was so busy, my table ended up being neglected and our waitress was impossible to flag down. In terms of vibes, it seems like a pretty cool place to be. I liked the chairs and then the little booths seem like a fun time. I was also a big fan of the bathroom sink. Overall, Publican was a fine time, and even better time if you're looking for meat forward dishes.

This place was a vibe! A first time for me, I attended a private event here and thought it to be…read moresuch an interesting venue to host a big seated dinner. Very unassuming, considering it's just your good ol' neighborhood butcher shop / market by day. Off the bat you can tell they carry clean, wholesome products. The shelves and fridges are stacked with the likes of fresh meat cuts, house-made sauces, cheese, jams, pickled goods... the list goes on. I can only imagine their deli sandwich are incredible. I'll have to return to order from their regular cafe next time I'm in town. The event however, wow very well done and the menu was stacked. Their sweet staff kept bringing out family-style dishes and I didn't have a single bite that wasn't delicious. From the butcher's steak to the mussels and everything in between. Oh and the night finished with some kind of apple/cranberry pot pie situation. Wow. Oh and plenty of wine and cocktail options here too! Like plentyyyy. Keeping this place on my radar for when I'm next in the city. Thanks for having us!

Clinton…read moreSt. and 500 West Madison St. Chicago IL I ordered special turkey sandwich which tasted delicious. I had fresh lettuce and tomatoes on it. The bread was good fresh and crunchy. Cheese was offered, but I declined because of my diet at the current time. They do offer seating in a different location of the French market. There are several food vendors in the French market. I can probably spend a month there and never experience the same one. I would definitely go back again for the same sandwich. I did try pastrami for the first time and it tasted very good as well. For the most part, this is a stand order and go type restaurant. I would definitely do it again.

What an absolute disappointment. They have very few sandwich choices. We ordered four different…read moresandwiches, potato salad, and cole slaw. When our friend arrived to pick up our order, it still wasn't ready (35 minutes after the fact). That's when we learned they didn't have one of the sandwiches. They were also out of potato salad. It was noon on a Friday. How were they out of so many things and how could they not have called and told us immediately? One friend had nothing to eat for lunch and, due to their delays, we couldn't go elsewhere. One person got a Reuben. It was fine not a lot of meat. I had pastrami. Also very little meat (I don't even like meat and I'm not a big eater but it was like ?!). Totally dry. Not grilled, no cheese, no condiments. Looked nothing like their picture in the paper. The coleslaw was TERRIBLE and inedible. Do not order. You can see from my other reviews that I rarely leave bad reviews. This place is not cheap. My sandwich was like $17. It's a joke (see pic). They skimp on meat when they are called a meat place. They are out of everything. Don't care about customers not getting what they ordered. Definitely would not go here again.

This is the spot to get whole catfish, it's a great price and has been fresh each time! The size of…read morethe catfish is about 2 lbs and they're headless and skinless. This is the perfect size for making mohinga (Burmese catfish soup). They also have a fish service counter if you need them to cut it into smaller pieces. They have nice big sturdy plastic bags that can fit the whole fish. They have separate service counters for chicken, fish, and beef/pork which is helpful to reduce cross contamination. It's super cold so make sure you bring a down jacket and beanie! The service line sometimes takes a bit of time so just be aware of that. There are plenty of other meat offerings like whole chicken, pork, sausage, beef, etc. All of them look really fresh and very competitive pricing. There's also a grocery store section where you can buy fresh vegetables, spices, and even baked goods like paczkis. The Bavarian cream paczki was delicious and not too sweet. There's also bulk frozen foods like fries and jalapeno poppers (if I remember correctly). Finding a whole catfish in Chicago can be difficult and I'm glad I can always trust Peoria packing for my catfish needs. The whole 2 lb catfish was only $6, incredible deal! The parking lot is decently sized, on a busy day like Christmas or Thanksgiving you can drive further near where the trucks are parked and park along the fence. For special holiday hours they were responsive both through Instagram DM and phone calls to confirm their hours! Really great service. They recently moved to this new location in October 2025. It used to be near Fulton Market in West Loop. Different location but same great service and item selection, probably more spacious too.
