Wild Fork — Local services in Evanston Township

Very limited selection and somewhat pricey, but they do what they do quite well. I'm not sure I completely buy the "value proposition" here, they read as being better suited to a "delivery warehouse" model rather than a "brick and mortar storefront", but that is for them to work out. Parking could be an issue, but as they are in the neighborhood for me, easy walking distance, that isn't my issue. However, the fact that literally everything but the gift cards is hard frozen means that impulse (i.e.: What are we eating tonight?) and "I need all the ingredients for..." visits are more than somewhat problematic.

If what you want is what they have, the quality is there. I'd advise shopping on the website before visiting the store though, just to be sure you can get what you need.

Edited to add: So we bought a stand-alone freezer, at least partially so we can more effectively exploit what this store has to offer. Now we'll always (for a given value of "always") have duck, as long as we're willing to wait three days for it to thaw anyway. Once again: Impulse buy? Yes. Impulse cook?...

I bought Lobster Claws from this store which is a "new" product. I should have known better when I saw a full stock of them when all of the other high end seafood was gone. Wildfork allows you to review individual items. There is currently 1 review and apparently they had the same experience I had, tasteless rubber claws. I completed a review on their website and to this day it is still not on the product. I write a lot of reviews and there was nothing in my (negative) review that should have it flagged to not publish it except the truth and one star. Now I have a bag full of tasteless rubbery lobster claws that I think were used to make the base of Lobster Bisque and should have been discarded but instead are being sold to Wildfork. Where is the quality control before they sell...

I went here once, and I usually don't come to this location, it is the last time I'll ever go because I was lied to. I shop at wildfork very often and I have been for years. The Wildfork locations all over chicago accept the Link card, this location has a male employee who is heavy set, with a beard, he lied about wildfork not accepting the link card, I bought my food products, with my credit card, however I felt discrimination against using the link. I will never come back to this location ever and I love wildfork; not this locations customer...
