I ordered three 8 oz filet mignon for Christmas and two pork chops for this weekend. All I can say is WOW! These were truly the best cuts of meat in our area. Not cheap but the quality of their meat is worth the price. I'll go vegetarian for weeks just so I can enjoy a dinner using this butcher. I cooked both meats the same way. High hot sear on both sides with salt and pepper only. Drop in two pats of irish butter and into the oven until instant read thermometer hits the right internal temp. Gibsons aint got nothing on your meats. So good. Thanks Heybecks!

Due to reviews decided to try and picked up a 3+ lbs prime top sirloin roast for Sunday Dinner. It was almost inedible. At $27 per pound had to easily discard 1/3 due to a huge vein of gristle and sinewy fascial fat. The rest was tough and tasteless. Despite it's packaging, no way this was butcher cut prime meat. Never going back and I will keep to Thuringer's from now on. At least when I pay a premium price there I can trust the quality. Honestly, I've found better top sirloin at Jewel. What a complete waste of time, money, and my family's taste buds.

Brett is amazing. He knows his meats and never fails to deliver the highest quality; service is spot on and tailored to what you need. I had my doubts coming here after living in Texas my whole life with access to the best quality meats, but Heybeck's is a place you can trust. The shop has a great feel inside with lots of great options. Here's a sneak peak of the great prime packers cut brisket from Heybeck's, smoked 24 hours.

My husband purchased 2 ribeye steaks last night from Heybecks to the tune of $80. He should have known something wasn't right when it was given to him in vacuum sealed plastic. We got it home and put it on the grill. It looked okay but the consistency was just weird. I can't put my finger on exactly what the issue was but it 100% didn't taste like butcher steak is supposed to taste. Fast forward to a conversation with my mother this morning where she tells me that place has been in business for 30 years and she doesn't understand why. She further goes on to say the stuff tastes like it's pre-packaged nonsense. Now I have to agree with her because that is exactly how it tasted, bargain meat from the grocery store.We often drive to Inboden's out in Dekalb so we are butcher people. I guess $80 down the drain because he didn't have the time to take the drive last night.

Interesting that the photos show steaks packed and vacuumed sealed packages.... hence not fresh... I think I will take a pass on this meat market

What a gem of a place this is! Conveniently located in Palatine with plenty of parking and open weekdays and weekends. The meat from Heybeck's is of the highest quality. In fact, any holiday when we serve a meal with meat from Heybeck's, people rave about how delicious it is. Thanksgiving turkeys, Christmas spiral sliced ham, pork shoulder, and mild Italian sausage made on site. All were delicious. Service is great and staff are very friendly and professional. The shop is well-lit and spotless with a huge selection of meats and other items. Definitely worth the trip!

Average meat, nothing special for the price. The butchers were not very friendly when I was ordering. Nicer in person. We ordered 2 tenderloins weighing about 10 lbs. Good, but not great meat. Not many choices otherwise.
