Chicago’s Best Butchers and Stores to Buy Meat | Eater Chicago

"Run by owner and head butcher Hasan Faraj since 1984, Albany Park butcher shop is my favorite place in the city to get goat. All the meat here is certified zabiha halal, so it’s an incredible place for Muslims to shop or anyone who wants to serve halal meat. Goat is one of those tricky meats; if you don’t have a good butcher, it can be incredibly gamey. But Lebanese Meat Market is consistent with their high quality. Besides goat, Lebanese Meat Market also has chicken and lamb. Albany Park is also a hub for Arab grocers, so after you pick up your meat, head to Sahar’s or Feyrous Pastries & Groceries to get items like rosewater, molokhia, Baharat spice blend, grape leaves, or anything else your recipe might call for." - Nylah Iqbal Muhammad

Lebanese Meat Market – The Best Meat in Chicago Lebanese Meat Market is hands down the best place in Chicago for fresh, high-quality halal meat. Every cut is handled with care, and you can truly taste the difference. Whether you’re looking for lamb, beef, or something custom, they always deliver top-notch service and flavor. This isn’t just a butcher shop — it’s a place built on pride, tradition, and hard work. You can feel the love and dedication behind everything they do. The staff are friendly, respectful, and treat you like family the moment you walk in. I personally love this place and wouldn’t go anywhere else for meat. It’s not just about buying food — it’s about supporting something real and special in our community. Highly recommend Lebanese Meat Market to anyone who wants the best of the best. You won’t regret it.

This Lebanese meat market is a hidden gem. The meat is always fresh, clean, and top quality. You can really taste the difference. Prices are very fair, especially for the kind of quality you’re getting. It also helps that the owner has a great sense of humor, which makes the whole experience even better. Friendly service, amazing meat, and good vibes all around.

If you’re looking for clean, fresh, high-quality halal meat, this is the spot. From lamb to beef to chicken, everything is prepared with care and cut perfectly. You can taste the quality. Hassan and Mohammed run the place with pride—they know meat, and it shows. This isn’t your average grocery store. It’s a true Lebanese meat market, and if you care about what you’re feeding your family, this is where you go. No gimmicks—just honest, top-notch meat.

DO NOT GO THERE! I went to buy 8 pounds of minced beef, 8 pounds of stew beef, and 4 pounds of lamb chops. I was OVERCHARGED. Hassan, the owner, charged me for the total and didn’t give me a detailed bill. I was charged $141. I thought it was too much for the meat. He said to me when I asked “Meat doesn’t always weigh the same as you order. It is usually a few pounds more.” I replied that I have been buying meat and this is the first time I hear this. He said the total pounds of the minced beef and stew beef are 18 pounds not 16 pounds and the lamb chops weigh 5 pounds. I told him that I need what I asked for. He didn’t reply or take the meat back. I went home and I weighed the meat and it was nearly 17 pounds of beef total and 4 pounds of lamb chops. I called him to tell him that it was my first time to buy from you and that he was losing customers by cheating like this. He said that meat was weighed with fats and he took the fats out. Finally, he hung up as I was talking.

I recently switched up my usual drive to Devon for Halal Meat to come here! It's been a wonderful experience so far - staff is friendly and helpful, and the meat (while maybe on a slightly pricier side) is always worth it.

Everytime I come here, I leave satisfied! Good quality meat and chicken. The owner is kind 🤗 and that’s what makes me come back as well.

I bought lamb there for Easter and cooked it for almost 5 hours and it was so tough. I was so embarrassed for my guests, I will never go there again!! I though it would be really good and not sure what he sold me. I told him I would only pay half instead of the full amount and he agreed and when I gave my CREDIT CARD INFO over the phone HE SCREAMED he charged me the full price and to never go there again and hung up on me! which I was never going to go back because his meat is 0 quality!!! SAD

Arrived at 5:45 and they close at six, the employee looked at me and said we’re closed. I told him that it’s not six yet he made a gesture with his hand like he doesn’t care and went inside the freezer and ignored me. I drove 45 min to get here

The owner is incredible funny sense of humor, customers, interacting, and talking, and just bringing out premium product based on what your wants are. Now my Lulu kebab will be perfect traveling 2 1/2 hours just to turn around and make the best kebab.

First time to this butcher. Was looking for fresh minced beef to make kheyma. This is a raw dish that I've never made before. The beef was so fresh and delicious and was amazing. Great value as well. Can't find this in any of the grocery stores!

Great stuff! A friend of mine referred me to this place a few weeks ago. I went there to get some lamb chops as I heard they had great quality lamb. Jackpot, it's true!! The lamb chops were amazing, thick cut and tender! I broiled them after marinating them Greek style overnight. Delicious! Great staff and good prices. Try them, you'll like them!!!

Maybe it's just how I was raised, but I cannot buy meat from the grocery store. My meat has to come from a butcher wearing an apron, covered in blood. I like it wrapped up in that white paper. At Lebanese Meat Market, I typically walk in and ask for one pound of ground beef. "That's all? No more?" asks the butcher. He walks to the back cooler, comes out with the hind quarters of a cow, chops it up, and grinds it right in front of you, trimming off fat to your specifications. And it's like $2. The meat is so fresh, and there are no fillers, it does not sit around on the shelf of a store. The homemade sausages and rib eye steaks are pretty good, too. The only thing I still cannot figure out why they have all of those couches in the front of the store, though, as if loads of people are coming over to hang out and watch the butcher cut up animal parts.

I've been going to this same exact meat market for 20 years. They have fresh cuts and amazing quality meats. A true old school butcher shop that gets all its meat from a local farm.

Nope, the quality of the meat is not good. I went there last year and the meat was so stiff that I couldn't even chew it. The owner is funny and make you laugh so I figured I will give it another shot and tell him exactly what am I looking for to see if it makes a difference. But no! The meat is still gross. I would not shop here any more.

This has a great selection of meats and Middle Eastern foods. I stop here once in a while to stock up on hummus, and pita bread!

My family has been going to Lebanese Meat Market since I was kid. We always give our Eid al-Adha order with them. I find them to be courteous, friendly, and their meat is always fresh.
