Jerry’s Quality Meats

Will never go to supermarkets to buy Meat ever again. .this place is amazing. They help you find what you’re looking for and they teach you how to make steaks perfectly! ! Love this place !!

Best meats around! The skirt steaks are the best I’ve had and the ribeyes are so flavorful!

I found this place doing a search for local butchers. We usually buy our meat from Jewel since we live next door to one, but Jerry’s popped up and we decided to try it. So glad we did! We bought some gigantic New York strip steaks for grilling for our Valentine’s Day make at home dinner. It was $ 30 for the pair and they were so big we split one between the two of us. The quality was amazing. I want to try their other products as well.
They also had free donut holes –not sure if this was just for Valentine’s day but much appreciated! We will be back!

To sum up Jerry’s Quality Meats: high quality meat and friendly service.
So far, I’ve gotten steaks, beef short ribs, and ham here, and I intend to come back for these meats again as well as try their other offerings. Their bone-​in rib-​eye steaks were $ 18/​lb, more expensive than other places I’ve bought the same steaks from, but much higher quality by far (and they were delicious when cooked medium or medium well).
They also sell spices, foods from Carol’s Kitchen (soups and premade meat dishes such as stuffed chicken, meatloaf, etc.), and some prepackaged, frozen meats.
There’s a private parking lot which is most easily accessed while heading west on Dempster.

Small but clean and the men there are friendly and helpful. Meat looks fresh and they have frozen soups. Only have bought baby back ribs, which turned out to be excellent. Asked if I wanted them cut in half and wrapped them well. The prices are a little higher than Jewel but you get better quality.

We bought a huge brisket (smoked brisket is the best!) from Jerry’s Quality Meats, in addition to steaks, and burgers and the quality can’t be beat! It’s a small, very clean place with an interesting selection of meats, soups, and specialty items. Highly recommended!

I can’t add much else to the stellar review before me. Superior quality and service… the owner/​butchers know you by name. My husband and I have been happy customers for years and have not bought meat at a grocery store since then. And, if you’re a busy working mom like me, it’s great to be able to call in your order! (By the way, our favorites are Jerry’s bone-​in rib eye and skirt steak; and our kids love their pub burgers.)

Here is the lesson you learn when you shop at Jerry’s: buy meat from a butcher, not at the supermarket. Need a 14-​pound brisket? Yup, they have it and they will put it aside and wait for you to arrive before they close for the night.
It is that simple. Fair prices, GREAT service and very high quality product. They also carry various sauces, soups, frozen items as well as farm eggs and plenty of time-​tested advice. There are three top-​notch butchers on the north shore and Jerry’s is squarely among them.

go here. their meat is fantastic. their italian sausage is simple and delicious

These guys don’t even know they’re on Unilocal!

They carry sides, frozen soups and so many other things to make your meal sparkle
Definitely will be going back for more.

Just a terrific butcher shop. GREAT skirt steaks, and wonderful prepared foods by Carol. NOT open on Monday. (Which should have been mentioned on their web page!) VERY friendly service too.

I didn’t realize Jerry’s was on Unilocal.Had I known I would’ve written a review sooner. We were introduced to this place by friends about 7 years ago. It is as old school as it gets, union butchers. The quality of their products is not comparable to any grocery store, but they don’t cost much more.
When you walk in you’ll have to navigate a few free-​standing freezers loaded with frozen soups, side dishes (the mac and cheese and glazed carrots have already been mentioned), burgers, brats, etc.
I cook a lot of BBQ and compete, this is where I buy all my meats. They even remove the membrane from the ribs. We buy the Thanksgiving bird from them every year, and I’m considering a prime rib for Christmas. Call ahead and reserve whatever you want, all they ask for is your name and phone number.
One day this summer I was scheduled to pick up a brisket and pork butt for an event I was catering. I got a call from Jerry’s at about 7am, telling me they weren’t going to open that day because they had lost power. But they had my order ready if I was OK with coming in early. I suspect most places would’ve just closed for the day without a phone call. Excellent service.

The world needs more great, independent butcher shops like Jerry’s.

My mom shopped here when I was a child, now in my 40’s and I shop here. I think the men who work here are the same, too. They are always so nice and extremely knowledgable. This place is so very clean, and the meat is always very very fresh. I have a limited budget, but would not consider buying my meat or chicken anywhere else. The frozen food items are homemade quality, definitely recommend the mac and cheese and carrots (i think it might be honey, but not for sure).

Jerry’s Quality Meats not only have a great group of skilled butchers, it is top quality meat without the Whole Foods price tag. Wet aged as opposed to dry but I challenge anyone to find a better butcher shop in Chicagoland.

My wife & I have shopped at Jerry’s for about 5 years. Their products have always been great and so has their service. We got a Prime Rib roast at Christmas… it was to die for! Homemade bulk country (breakfast) sausage is very hard to find. Theirs is very good! They make their pub burgers from ground sirloin and they are great. Carol’s homemade twice-​baked potatoes are great and they always seem to have veal shank when it is unavailable from other places. Overall, you can’t go wrong at Jerry’s Quality Meats!

This is a very nice meat market. They carry a full line of very fresh looking meats, as well as frozen items. I got some spaghetti meat sauce (frozen), which was really good. The ground beef I got was very fresh and lean.
They also have home made frozen soups. I got a small container of minestrone, which I have yet to try. Some of the prices seemed a tad steep, but you are getting quality for sure.
If I find myself in the area again, I will make a point to stop in. It reminds me of an old fashioned butcher shop. The only thing missing is the sawdust on the floor.
