I don’t like giving a bad review. But when I go In To the shop asking for a shoulder roast and you sell me a pot roast and tell me it’s the same thing. I went home to make beef jerky and if did not cut the same at all as a shoulder roast would have. I fried it it a pan for the dogs so I guess this shop is good for something. But I will never spend a dime here again.

We have traveled all over Europe and in every town, there’s a local butcher. This is not necessarily the case in the U.S. Unless you live in the New Lenox. CP meat market rivals the best in Europe and sets the highest standard for cleanliness and quality. There simply is no better meat available at any price in this area. We are blessed to have them in our community.

Great local discovery for high quality meats. I ordered two pork bone-in rib roasts for a dinner party after CP was recommended by a friend. I called them on Thursday to pick them up on Saturday. The gentleman on the phone was very helpful and friendly as were the people in the store when I went in. The roasts were outstanding! Prepared just the way I requested and cost less than I expected given the quality. CP will be my «go to» place for meats from now on!

Great family run business. All of the the meats are high quality. What ever you choose ask one of the guy’s any question on how to prepare it. They will gladly advise you on cooking instructions. They stock a bevy of precooked foods and to go dinners. Great when needing a fast dinner and not in the cooking mood. The ribs are to die for and the homemade sausages are epic. Heck you walk through the door and the smell is unbelievably good. Pizza kits are my kids favorite to have at sleepovers. Here is a local tip SIAM. If you grew up in New Lenox or have a child that goes to one of the high schools get the SIAM card. CP has always been a wonderful friend to the arts and you get a discount with this card. So check the place out and fall in love with the quaint shop, great workers, awesome products, and commitment to community.

I recently tried their ribs. BEST ribs around– the meat just melted off the bone. Great local business!

High quality products from people who do what they do BEST. Fresh ground chuck everyday, try the marinated chicken breasts. No need to go anywhere else.

Had the opportunity to order a 9lb+ prime rib roast this past Christmas from here. The shop opens at 9, and you need to be prepared to wait around the holidays. The line moves quickly, and the men(and women) do a great job at processing your order and getting you in and out as quickly as possible. There’s a little store to buy some dry ingredients, but you’re going there for their great cuts of meat and their deli. Those are the definite winners. Their prices were fair, and the cuts were prime. I’ll definitely go back for my meat needs.

I can’t believe that I left here with only moderately more than I had wanted. I came for some andouille sausage, which was amazing, and left with a couple steaks. But I also wanted everything else. It was sooooooooooo good. Everything looked awesome and the smell of the place made me hungry. The steaks were fantastic and I can’t wait to go back and get more meat. This place is worth the drive to avoid the butcher counter at the grocery store and the prices are better too.

As a customer since 2001, obviously I’m content with CP market. Well, I used to be thrilled with CP, but as my skills and culinary adventures have evolved, I’m just content with them. First off, let me praise their meats they carry. Always the freshest, never been disappointed. Their Polish sausage is excellent, very garlic-y. Secondly, the staff at CP Market are outstanding. Always fast, yet will take time to answer questions, and they are quite knowledgeable. And they always get me a great pork butt to smoke. Now comes my «cons». I went to CP within the last year and asked for a Tri-tip. Don’t carry it. Then, I wanted to do a Flat Iron Steak I’ve heard so much about. Negative. When I went there for Flank Steak, it was pre-wrapped in paper in a stand up glass freezer. Couldn’t tell what the weight, or price was. Ended up being a little too pricey, but I bought it, and it was good. When I asked for calf’s liver, I was told they could it order it, but I’d have to buy the whole sha-bang. That was fine with me. Call me what you will, but I am disappointed that a local butcher couldn’t provide me with popular cuts, several times now. I understand CP not carrying the cuts if they don’t sell well around here, but I anticipated that even if they didn’t have them, they would get them for me. Don’t get me wrong, though. I am still a happy customer, and the feel of the store brings me back to my youth in Chicago. As far as others have moaned about their prices, uh yeah, CP is more expensive. But when they close shop due to people only buying meat at WallyWorld, then what are you going to do? Support your local businesses people. They’re your neighbors too.

Great family owned local butcher shop. I have gotten half a cow and half pig, and also just stopped to get a couple steaks for dinner. No matter what I get or when I get it, the meat is always great.

I’ve been a customer here for over 10 years. The quality of meat is always great, and well worth the slight price premium. The beef shish kabobs are my favorite with the marinated chicken breasts coming in at a close second. The employees are friendly and helpful and never make me feel rushed.

This is one of our local butcher shops, just a small place tucked away in a strip mall, They have the best quality meats, I don’t know if you can even get a bad piece of meat here, Why not five stars you ask, the prices, Quality but at a price they are also the most expensive,
