Chicago Prime Meats

Does anyone know when they closed? They were selling gift certificates back in June of 2014.

Meat markets don’t get any better than this! The fish is practically still swimming it’s so fresh. Meats are well cut and best quality and price ANYWHERE. Catering is also great. Very interesting options and very delicious and homemade. Italian Beef is like none other.

Your food is DELICIOUS. I particularly enjoyed the Polynesian salad, Roast beef sandwich, Chicago Prime Tender Steak, Macadamia Chicken (awesome),
Spicy Thai Chicken wings (awesome) and finally, the Apple Pie was «off the chain». Kudos to the chef for the premium quality of beef used. I’ll recommend your menu to friends any day and look forward to having more soon.

Bought $ 75.00 worth of Rib Eyes at Chicago Prime. The steaks were delicious.
Unfortunately when I tried to get some help from the butcher when I bought them — he was pretty crabby and unfriendly. Don’t know if I will go back. A little discouraging.

So glad I found this gem! Love the meat and seafood selection. I have been happy with everything I have purchased and staff is super friendly. I am a student at COD and only have about 10 minutes to grab something to eat on my way. I can go here and get a homemade meal for about $ 4! The hot and cold bars have great a great selection and everything is delicious! So much better than fast food and easy on the wallet!

One of the best strip steaks I’ve ever had from a butcher. And the marinated hanger steak has no peers. Super friendly guys who know their meat. As for Ed, he’ll take care of you. They just started doing seafood a number of months ago and we had some great walleye the other week. Great butcher shop.

Being a foodie at heart (and a former Executive Chef), I am always in search of natural, organic and restaurant quality ingredients. So much so, I am willing to go the extra distance (or miles in this case) to find the best. If you are looking for COMMERCIAL GRADE prime beef, then this is your place. Many other retailers offer prime grade beef but did you know there were separate ratings within prime, choice and select. One through Ten is the basic grades within each category with the top 1 – 5 in the prime category reserved for Commercial Grade vs. Commodity Grade. I recently served two Prime Grade prime ribs at a party, both seasoned and cooked at the same temp and with the same methods. One was from Chicago Prime Meat Market and the other from Costco. Everyone at dinner agreed the Chicago Prime Meat Market’s Prime Rib was not only better, but SIGNIFICANTLY! If you want the best quality beef with personal and friendly customer service by some of the best butchers in the Chicagoland area, you have got to check this place out!

My boyfriend lives pretty much next door to Chicago Prime Meat Market. He’s Trader Joe’s, do you know him? I visit my boyfriend so much that I figure I need to check out his neighborhood a little more.
I was making roasted lamb chops for the first time and figured a butcher was the best way to go. CPMM is very clean, I don’t want to say sterile, but it lacked the homey-​character of my favorite meat market that I usually visit for specialty items.
No one is overly friendly or asked if I had any questions about their products.
Service was OK. There were only 2 racks available in the case but I appreciated that they went to the back to check out if there was any more. Especially after I told them I was making lamb chops for the first time.
The chops were excellent quality and very fresh. And it really came through after they had been cooked. I was able to sample some of their smoked salmon and I found it just OK, a bit too salty for me.
CPMM had a nice selection of fresh meat, fish and poultry. Some of it already marinated or stuffed, basically ready to cook. The salad bar looked good. I wish they had their hot bar out but I guess I was there a little too early.
CPMM is nice, but I like the more friendly approach of my favorite meat market where they make you and the meal you’re preparing their priority.

What an excellent place! Unilocal really didn’t let me down on this one. Considering all five stars recs, I think this place is definitely a keeper.
High quality meats and cheeses, but we had the buffet! Meatloaf, lasagna, salads, caprese… you name it. Probably 40 things to choose from in their hot/​cold salad bar. It’s $ 5.99/lb. That may sound like a lot, but I assure you, it’s not! We got a big slice of lasagna, two thick pieces of meatloaf, a healthy serving of mac n’ cheese a caprese salad and two mixed green salads for about what we pay for at Chipotle ($ 18). We have enough for my husband’s lunch tomorrow even!
High quality and a lot of fun mixing and matching. Try this place out! You won’t be disappointed.

There is only one problem I’ve noticed with Chicago Prime… After you eat ANYTHING there, restaurant dining simply doesn’t cut it anymore. I’ve ordered $ 50+ steaks at some of the premier steakhouses in the area and it simply doesn’t compare to many of the chops this place sells at half the cost. The staff is friendly and will offer cooking tips if needed. This place is an all around winner. The only butcher I ever go to, period.

This place is awesome! Been going there for 5 years and have never been disappointed! The staff is friendly, reliable, and very informative! I highly recommend!

We have the privilege of living within walking distance of this establishment and are frequent customers. We agree with the reviewers who preceded us. We recently used Chicago Prime to cater some meals in our home. Everything was ready ahead of schedule, and the quality was outstanding. Diane from the catering operation made this easy for us. Our guests raved about the rigatoni with vodka sauce. They were also amazed by the prime beef. We’ll be back!

A great place to buy premium meat!
There is a great selection of meats to prepare the meal of your dreams.
There is also a great catering menu.
AND there is a great carryout menu. If you order by noon you can pick up a prepared meal on your way home from work for about $ 10 a person. Steak, potatoes, salad, and brownies is our favorite. Much better then ordering some Chinese food or going thru a drive-​thru!

«The best meat I’ve ever tasted.»
I’ve heard that more than once from my guests after buying my beef and pork from Chicago Prime. The chicken is great too but has never gotten the ultimate praise.
The beef is either choice or prime. Choice is as good as I’d ever had and about the same price as high-​end beef at the local butcher shop. Then there is the prime — OMG. I save up for special occasions to get a prime steak. But I can say that pot roast made with prime chuck roast is worth the few extra dollars a pound. The prime «strip steak roast» for this Christmas was the «best beef» three of the 15 guests had ever eaten. Ever. Anywhere. Everyone loved it but I’m talking best ever for three guests. The pork is better than any from any store I’ve found. Very, very good. But to be honest, the difference in the beef here and elsewhere is more profound than the difference in the pork.
The staff is first rate and very helpful.
This is a meat place. Sure there are some terrific prepared foods and salads. And a few dried things like rice and pasta. But it not the place to find Coco Puffs and milk. But be assured that it is always worth that extra stop.
