Prime N Tender Meats
3 reviews for Prime N Tender Meats
Meat, meat and more meat!! There is something primal about this butcher shop and when I go- I go to feed my inner carnivore. And who says that women are gatherers and men are hunters? I go to hunt out the best piece of beef known to man-not to mention the fresh turkeys that they have every Christmas and Thanksgiving!
No-there are not racks of dead cows hanging in full view of the consumers- nor are there ducks strung up around as interesting decor. This is still Hinsdale, you know!! But this neighborhood butcher shop has everything and more. Prime Rib? Check. Tenderloin? Check. Prime or Choice cuts? Check. Giant cheese and vegetable stuffed chicken breasts? Check.
Even their sides are amazing. Boursin cheese and prosciutto wrapped asparagus spears. Double baked potatoes. Giant portebella mushrooms stuffed with butter and bread crumbs! Absolutely delicious. And all ready to put on the grill or cook inside.
This store is not for the faint of heart vegetarian or vegan. But then, neither are most of the dinners that I serve at my house!
I love this place! The meat has always been so tasty! Our Favorites are the kabobs and the Steak burgers! We order from them any time we have a bbq. Have you ever been at the grocery store and you get that idiot butcher tha can not give you advice on how to cook it.. and just says.. when the label prits it will have the temp to cook it at.. well not here! The best part is .. they can giv you recommendations as to how to cook their meats and fish. They recommended I bake the kabobs for 1 hour at 325 before grilling them.. this saved me so much time on the grill, I just baked them all the day before and walla.. they were done in 20 min on the grill! Oh and did I mention they always have wine out for tasting!! So you can get your meats and wine!
Prime N Tender is more than just a butcher shop. Of course their meats are top quality, but there is so much more to love about this family owned and operated business. For busy people, the prepared meals they have are extraordinary--frozen fish that bakes from frozen in less than an hour, including salmon, tilapia, cod, and sole. They have Cajun pork chops ready to hit the grill and be on your table in 16 minutes that have to be tasted to believe how great they are, moist and flavorful.
In the freezer you will also find beef stew, chili, meatballs, marinara sauce, crab, duck, shrimp, scallops, soups, lasagna, ravioli and more. I have yet to be disappointed with anything I've purchased.
They also have prepared burgers, homemade sausage, chicken breasts marinated in a variety of sauces, chicken breasts for baking that are stuffed with wonderful combinations, like spinach and feta. Their meatloaf with cheddar cheese is to die for. Their salads make wonderful sides for your meals, and you can enjoy a fantastic dinner in no time.
The best thing about this store, though, is the people running it. You will actually find good old-fashioned service here, and they are always willing to help you with any special requests. From the owners, Dan Sr. and Dan Jr., to the staff, Christine, Joe and Lisa--they are friendly and caring and FUN! Just go in and try them out and see if you don't keep going back for more! They are fantastic!
