Wild Fork — Local services in Lake View Township

People need to know how incredible this place is. It's by far my favorite grocery store that I've found in years. I drove past it's a million times and never knew what it was until my friend made an incredible wild boar ragu completely from Frozen ingredients that he had bought here. He recommended it to me and since going in for the first time it is my grocery store of choice for a variety of reasons. Number one is that they have a huge selection of Quality meats, and we're talking like restaurant quality. They have the most interesting types of meat that I simply can't find anywhere else. I'm a huge fan of the pre marinated chicken breasts and chicken thighs as it saves me incredible amounts of time. Number two is that beyond the meat they have a ton of side dish options such as quinoa or couscous mixes that are tossed with other vegetables, veggies, fruit, and smoothie packs plus other pre-made side dishes that you can just throw on a skillet or in the microwave which again saves me hours of time every week. Number three is their customer service is incredible and they are extremely knowledgeable about all of their products. They gave me great recommendations for a camp out with my friends and this New York strip steaks and brussel sprouts were fantastic. Number four, on the contrary to popular belief, Frozen produce and frozen meats that are flash frozen actually can be more fresh than their normal grocery store counterparts that have been sitting in transit and on shelves for days or weeks constantly losing their nutritional value. I repeat if you think that frozen food is somehow of lesser quality you need to do the research to change this opinion. Number 5 is the prices, for what you are getting it's very reasonable and this is partly because they don't have to pay for the spoilage of their products like most grocery stores do. I just feel like it's a really smart way to shop, cook, and run a food business. I went from a meal service to being able to create my own high quality healthy meals in minutes with this gem of a store. Super recommend please go...

There are so many things I can say about this Wild Fork location but I'll try to make this as short as possible. The place is immaculate! I am so impressed by how neat, clean and organized it is. They have every meat you can think about in the place. I took my time and went up and down every aisle. The prices are reasonable as well. I'm upset for not knowing it existed sooner. I told the manager Dawn it was my very first time coming to Wild fork and she was the sweetest and so professional. She introduced herself then took her time to speak with me and answer all of my questions along with breaking down the grade of meats and seafoods I inquired about. When I walked in a handsome guy named Cameron greeted me and was so welcoming. The entire team there is on point.

I wanted to shout out Dawn the manager again, Cassie, Cameron, Vee, Alicia, Jack, Joey, Amirah and Taz for being awesome, friendly and so warm. Whatever this location is doing to be great needs to continue!! They're unified and I love it. I highly recommend anyone who wants top quality meats, vegetables, family meals, seafood and desserts to go to Wild Fork on Belmont Ave in Chicago, IL.

P.S. try the lemon berry sauce cake! CHEF'S KISS 💋 😘. The store overall definitely gets 5...

This place is brand new and a great addition to the neighborhood! We have shopped here twice already. We shopped before Christmas and received a $20 gift card and used it again on Christmas Eve for some additional items. So far we have tried a wagyu steak (very rich so we shared it). We bought a 9 lb uncured smoked ham that was the centerpiece for Christmas (recooked with pineapple glaze) - it was the best ham I’ve ever eaten. The 4 oz. Bison steaks are absolutely delicious. We have also tried the crab legs (not the king crab legs which are a fortune anywhere you go) and loved them. The mac ‘n’ cheese was also delicious. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable about their products. Update: The quiche is outstanding for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Definitely try it. I also bought their taco seasoning which is very good and not salty. We’re making Osso Bucco for dinner tonight - can’t wait.

Update Oct 2025 - they no longer deliver to my house in western Michigan which is a ridiculous loss of revenue as my whole family would order (others are in northern Wisconsin). Sorry but I’m lowering my rating...
