"Half restaurant / half vintage corner store deli. Chop Shop is Wicker Park's hidden gem offering up a full-service bar with artisan wines, craft beers, and local spirits." - Anna Zajac
"If you’re looking for a butcher who also knows how to throw a party, Wicker Park’s Chop Shop is for you. They’re a butcher shop during the day, serving up chicken, beef, and pork (not many uncommon meat or game options here) and at night they transform into a restaurant and concert venue, where you might catch a rave or find your favorite artist. And at the restaurant, you can enjoy charcuterie, chicken parmesan, or hand-made pastas. As for the butcher shop, their fresh chicken wings, dry-aged steaks, and sausages are popular here. They also deliver via Caviar." - Nylah Iqbal Muhammad
"The Chop Shop wears many hats in Wicker Park. It’s a butcher shop and restaurant, plus a music venue and private events space. There’s also a cute little rooftop where folks can escape to during these crowded events." - Ashok Selvam, Naomi Waxman
"Chop Shop is a bar, restaurant, butcher shop, and live event space year-round. That’s a handful, but during the summer there’s only one part of Chop Shop you need to worry about: their rooftop. It’s a more secluded and laid-back outdoor space than its partytime neighbor, Big Star, so it’s ideal for a midweek casual hang. We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation
"Stop by this small butcher and cheese shop if you need a quick lunch and want to pick up some fancy gouda. You can't go wrong with the Butler Dip sandwich, caramelized onions and aged beef on perfectly-tangy sourdough bread, and the Detroit-style Sauce and Salumi pizza is so hefty that one delicious slice is often enough. As you’re eating, you’ll spot locals stopping by for wine night meat and cheese or parents busy with PTA meetings stocking up on Bolognese sauce for an easy dinner. Whatever you do, don’t leave without a banana pudding and chocolate mousse from the fridge." - Jené Shaw
