Love this place. So much fun! Pat is great and provides quality service and amazing products. He takes pride in his work and it shows. I got some beautiful ribeyes cut to order along with some amazing ground beef.

Mundelein's hidden gem. One-stop shop for real beef, wine and meal. They sell other items as well. The owner and the staff are helpful and friendly. You can ask them anything. We even got advice on grilling. They are open 7 days. They also have daily specials.
