Muller Meats

This place is A+. So far, I have tried steak (cut however thick you want), stuffed pork chops, bacon (you can even get it by the slice or weight) and boneless chicken thighs. I feel like every dish I cook has been upgraded because the meat is delicious. The service is super friendly too :).
If you’re looking to try out a butcher, give this place a try.

This place is almost 2 blocks from our home. I’ve always been super curious, but never ventured inside because my husband works for Whole Foods and we get a great discount. Well, I saw they had boneless pork roasts on sale for $ 2.99/lb and sent my hubs inside during this crazy blizzard. I waited patiently in the car with my toddler, and my hubs came back into the car with a smile on his face, and an almost 4lb cut.
«That guy was AWESOME!»
Husband approved of the owner. He found him to be helpful, friendly, and full of old Chicago spirit. We arrived home, and he opened up the meat so we could throw it in the slow cooker.
Beautiful.
I was like, «Are you sure that thing isn’t salmon?!» It was the most perfect beautiful cut of pork roast I had ever seen. We quickly sliced it into a puzzle that would fit in the bottom of our crock pot, threw in a can of 365 «Dr. Pepper» set it on low and went on with our Super Bowl Sunday.
I was very impressed with the quality and service Muller Meats has to offer. They also have a cute voicemail message if you call off hours. We will back for more of their meat! Happy to finally know what this little local shop is about and their great product.

the best of the best — — –i drive from chicago and western — — — — — — the chicken and i love the rib steaks with the bone in it — — -and love that stuffing

Nice local neighborhood butcher. There are better places in Chicago but this is my go to for regular grilling and cooking. Great friendly service and they are open on Sunday.
I recommend their chicken, pork and bacon. All very tasty.

Don’t miss! What a little gem. Best rare roast beef in the city. Fresh Amish chicken. Good prices. No weird smells. Red meat is red. «How will you be preparing it? May I cut it for you?» WHHHAAAAAT?! Old school service from lovely smiling butchers??? After years of frowning over hella gross supermarket coolers or sighing at the Whole Foods cash register, I nearly cried with relief. Sweet mystery of carnivorous life, at last I’ve found you on Chicago’s north side.
In a world of suck, thank you, Muller Meats, for not sucking.

The two men that own this charming butcher shop, Erv and Ruben, are adorable with a capital A. They reminded me of my grampa.
They couldn’t have been more welcoming or helpful and I probably bought more than I needed to, but I just couldn’t help myself.
All of their meat is high quality at very good prices. I purchased some filet mignons and when asked what size, I told Erv a small one and a medium one. He then smiled and said: «his and hers portions, huh?» It was just so cute.
I took advantage of the Unilocal check-​in to save 10% and I’m pretty sure Erv and Ruben were even more excited about it than I was.
This place is the real deal. It was such a pleasure to shop here. I don’t often travel to the north side to purchase meat, but I will make a point of shopping here more often.
I wonder if Erv and Ruben would consider adopting me?

Reviews are on point, the pork is fantastic and fresh, the beef is where im a little confused, im looking for grass fed beef and he said all cattle is grass fed, as you may know, its not, so I don’t know if his is and neither do they, the chicken is raised by the Amish. This is the ideal location to buy meat closest to natural as possible, great friendly service!

Best. Pork. Period.
First; Erv and Ruben simply carry the best pork in Chicago, at any price. Juicy, flavorful, with a nice edge of fat. Perfect. Chops, roasts, ribs, it doesn’t matter. Pork doesn’t get any better than this. Oh, and the best part, everyday regular prices with old time neighborly service. Easy street parking right in front. Call ahead and everything is ready and waiting for you.
Everything at Muller’s is excellent quality. It’s a one stop butcher shop. Call ahead and the sky’s the limit. It might be in the freezer if you just stop by (lamb, duck, etc.) but give Erv and Ruben a call a few days ahead, and there is nothing they can’t get or do.
If you only ever buy one thing, however, you must buy a pork loin roast from Muller’s. Once you’ve had their pork, you’ll understand what I’m talking about.

Good fresh quality meats. They also have excellent prices and good service.
If it were a bit closer to where I live i would shop there more often.

I absolutely love this place. it’s great to have an actual butcher shop in the neighborhood and the butchers are helpful and absolutely delightful to talk to. They are happy to give a recommendation and tell you how to cook it up.

We just had Erv and Ruben’s Chicken breast stuffed with onion and sage. It was absolutely delicious. They included cooking instructions. The meat was done right on time. Tender, juicy, moist. The stuffing savory, light flavorful. Now I’m stuffed. We bought our meat here for some BBQ Fourth of July. After today’s goodness, I can’t wait to get it on the grill. The guys were down to earth and friendy. The shop cozy and no nonsense. No 40 minute wait. No second mortgage for just a few pieces of meat. This shop gets a full on MOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Mooooooooo!!! Ha ha – instead of a bell on the door, there is an electronic cow noise which sounds when a customer walks in. That little item distills the essence of the service and atmosphere that you get at Muller Meats. This is an OLD-​FASHIONED butcher shop, of which we have too few left. The two guys, Erv and Ruben, love to have fun, whether they are bantering with newbies, with regulars, or with each other. Coming here always puts a big smile on my face.
The first time that I ever came in, I had called ahead looking for something with which to make ham stock. These guys recommended a ham shank, which would produce a flavorful stock but also have a little bit of meat on it. I stopped in and they gave me a shank of the right size for my needs, and it worked exactly as promised. I would never have known about ham shanks – these guys really helped me out and earned my business.
As a butcher shop, it has its pluses and minuses. They have a rather small store, and thus a limited selection, but they are strong on pork and beef. In the side cooler, they have frozen burgers, seafood, and a few other items.
The Italian sausage is $ 4.79 per pound but the best I’ve ever had – sweet and spicy although a little greasy. Most of their stuff is a bit pricey. I got some NY strip steaks for $ 14.99 which weren’t as good as ones that I bought a few weeks before from another shop at a lower price. The stuffed pork chop is solid, maybe not my favorite but worth trying. I got my mid-​March corned beef here and it was the best I’ve ever had.
Last month they were selling Girl Scout cookies! They had a whole pile of them in the front window. They have a crazy website too, with cooking guidelines, safety tips, and cool photos of Old Chicago.
Mooooooooo!!!

This the type of place that puts me in mind of how things used to be before supermarket comglomerates took over the world and ruined everything. This little butchers is run by two guys who can tell you everything you need to know about meat. They are so friendly and helpful and won’t give you any attitude if you have a request like some of «those» other food markets. The meats are of a high quality and the prices are fair. I really hope people start going here because I’d hate to see a place like this close down and fall prey to the «big box» stores.

In an effort to buy more locally, my husband & I decided to try this little butcher shop – only 2 blocks from where we live and I am happy to report we were not disappointed. They have quality meat at competitive prices with grocery stores. You simply cannot beat the service here – Irv & Rueben really help you out. They give you information on how to prepare the meat & how to cook it – in my book that is excellent. My only complaint would be that they could use more of a poultry variety.

Friendly service. Great meat.

Great little butcher shop, sells only meat. They’ll tell you how to cook it if you don’t know how. Always fresh and always good quality. Cut to order or made to order. Call early, get a fresh turkey for Thanksgiving instead of a frozen one.
Not much else, though. You’ll still need to go to the grocery store to get the rest of the fixins’.

This place is a hidden gem… Quality «Choice» meat (the grade below prime) for EXTREMELY good prices. Very nice guys (Ruben and Irv) run the place.
No contest between it and the supposed meat sold at local grocery stores… and other similar places.
