We're in town during Thanksgiving for the first time in a decade. I ordered all the sides from…read moretowne and oak (delish), the pies from three tarts (perfection) and then I need a turkey. I checked Yelp and ordered from Hofherr Meat based on the stellar reviews. I often peek into Hofherr Meat when walking into Shred415 so was excited to finally try it! About 2 days before I was telling a friend where i got my turkey and she asked me how i plan to cook it. Cook it?? It literally had not occurred to me that my turkey would be raw. If it's not obvious from this review and ALL my restaurant reviews the kitchen is not where I shine. I called Hofherr to ask if they could cook my turkey and while apparently they do that it was too late to put in the request. Good to know for next time. Wednesday morning I joined the rest of the North Shore to pick up my raw turkey. I ran into a friend while waiting for it who is more of an expert when it comes to making turkeys and she asked them to give me gravy, a turkey bag (apparently easier and lessy messy to cook in a bag) and some directions. The next day I followed their directions along with some help from my bestie chatgpt. I stuck it in the oven and crossed my fingers we wouldn't be going without a turkey this thanksgsiving. We had a little mishap when the thermometer melted into the turkey (oops), but besides that it really wasn't too difficult of a process. And while I had trouble eating a turkey after seeing it raw my family was thrilled that it was perfectly moist and praised my turkey making skills. I did have a few bites and did think it was pretty good- and i dont even like turkey. I would definitely get my turkey from here again, although next time i'll be ordering a cooked turkey out of convenience. But for those of you who like to cook a turkey I recommend them!

The abundance of fat found in ducks lent itself to a delectable delight as it hit my tongue. Of course I had to grab the tried & trues: the Copa was copalicious, the Country Pate brings a new definition to the traditional Braunschweiger, and the Chili is perfectly spiced and hits the spot! Of course the list goes on & on. Once again cheers from a committed Foodie - Mike G

When walking in, to the right you'll have the authentic Italian pastas and the assortment of sausages in the freezer. The center of the store has a variety of condiments, most of which were sauces and rubs for barbecue. The remainder of the store were the meat counters. Al was helping us when we checked out. Please keep in mind it is cash only but there is an ATM in the store for your convenience!

I don't know why the meats at Joseph's are better than that at any grocery store.....but they are. We don't eat too much red meat but when we do, we get it at Joseph's.

I'm not sure why it's taking me this long to put a Yelp review for Harrison's however I've been…read moreshopping at Harrison's for over three decades now and this place is an institution. If you're new to the suburbs are new to the area this is where you go to get your poultry chicken, turkey, etc. type needs. It is so popular that during Thanksgiving, for example and all the holidays you can expect to see Glenview police helping to direct traffic into their tiny parking lot. What's great though about them is that you can call them and put in your orders ahead of time by actually speaking to a human being who takes your order and then come in and actually pick up your order from a real human being. This type of traditional business is something I really love and glad it still exists here in Glenview. Everything they sell here is top quality poultry, and this is the go to. They have everything you could possibly think of and will just about customize and meet any of your required needs. I hope they stay around for another hundred years or more because this is the way meat buying should be.

I ordered their smash burger. It was good but not impressive. We had asked for sauce on the side, but I think they interpreted that as additional sauce on the side. The burger had sauce on it as well. The flavors were dominated by the sauce. Being a butcher shop I was hoping for a really good burger. I'd rate it average. We went a long way to visit and sadly while the staff is super friendly and helpful, what my sister and I ordered wasn't something we'd make the drive for to get again. Maybe we choose the wrong things. The parking for us was easy. The staff very friendly and helpful. The pizza on the bar looked dried out or outright burned so we stayed away from that. We were looking forward to something from their hot bar, but sadly it wasn't open on Sunday. We felt it was expensive for what we received and like I said earlier we had higher hopes. If you're in the area it's a good spot to stop, but we wouldn't make the trip to there specifically... It was good...not great. We had higher hopes.

Other than maybe a…read morefew more varieties of Prime cuts, there's no reason to spend more to shop in a small place that has the same stuff but just for more money. It's just like "farmers markets"...they buy stuff from suppliers and sell it like it's something special from a farm for more money. Grocery stores have actual butchers that can do the same stuff for you. As far as quality, everything has always been good here. The homemade Italian sausage is some of the best around. Nothing else really stands out as spectacular or unique. The interior is older and nothing fancy. They have freezers around the one side, meat cases on the other and some prepackaged goods in the middle. Overall, a basic butcher shop for those that want to pay more money
