Great butcher and seafood shop in Lake Forest. The products are first clad and the advice from Rick and Carrie is even better. Buy your meat here for both everyday and special occasions.
Stopped in for some ready- made items yesterday to have for lunch today and I just want to thank myself!!
The Bacon-habanero-cheddar Twice Baked Potato is the most delicious thing!! And the Italian pinwheels- I’m in heaven!! Thanks to The Daily Grind also�
LOVE The Daily Grind!! Carrie did an awesome job catering for a gathering at our home. Lots of things to choose from, vegetarian options, attention to food allergies, dessert options too and best of all...Carrie delivered it all plated beautifully and ready to go!!
Portuguese kale soup with linguisa!
The bad news is that I didn't give this soup to my client. . .
The good news is I got to eat it myself very delicious, very homemade ,
going to order it again.
Love your Italian Beef!! Love your coffee rub pork chops!!
Rick has been my family's butcher for literally my entire life, in every spot he has helped us, he has always been personal, trustworthy, and knowledgable about his work and product. The best Italian Beef I have ever experienced as well.

Rick, will only sell the best. Ask him for cooking ideas too!
Outstanding quality, great value! I will be back.....
I called to see if they had Polish sausage--a staple for our New Year's dinner. They didn't and offered to make some, which I picked up. BEST.EVER! Flavor was just right--not too spicy and not bland. I will be back to try their other sausages.
If your goal is to support local merchant's as it is with our family, Rick and his team at The Daily Grind make it very easy. They are a local treasure worthy of our collective support. They truly enrich our community with this wonderful amenity. We love you Rick and thank you for making Lake Forest an even better place to live.
Prepared meals are excellent. Rick and Carrie, are just wonderful people. The best salmon you'll ever find in right there. Great sausage to put on a grill and even the hot dogs are made there. Simply, top notch!!!
I would like to give this place 4.7,4.8 stars
Because I'm friends with other butchers,but it would be wrong to go as low as 4 stars.
I only tried ,filet, coffee chili pork chop,and strip.
Service was excellent, knowledgeable, friendly.The filet:tender,and flavorful;Pork chop less punch than I wanted but quality meat(and acceptable to people who don't like coffee/ chili punch)the strip we froze and it did very well.

The owner is cool. I get a different soup each time I come in and it’s good every time. Love the smoked salmon spread. I come here for sausage, my thanksgiving turkey, and for inspiration when I’m not sure what I’m gonna cook. My dog loves the pig ears too!
This guy knows meat and offers delicious food. The homemade sausages are a thing of beauty. We often get the blue cheese burgers to grill with friends as they're always excellent. They also have dog friendly treats, and cater. Sort of hidden, but worth finding. Not many classics like this exist anymore.
Love, love, love this place! Rick the owner is as friendly and helpful as can be. The meat is absolutely delicious along with the chickens - the best I have ever had. I come from Chicago to this place - nothing like it near me. It may be far but worth it! Rick, you have a loyal customer from far.
Found this place online and decided to try it. Best decision ever. The only options that I had were Italian Beef or Gyro since I came in right after they opened, so I went with the Gyro. Absolutely outstanding. The tomatoes in that were delicious, I’m assuming they were home grown. Anyways, try the gyro, you won’t regret it. Will be coming back for sure.
I asked for traditional German sausages for a family Oktoberfest and they knocked it out of the park!
My family has some dietary restrictions and the butcher was able to work around them and make amazing tasting Weisworst! Thank you again, there were a huge success!
What a gem of a place!!! The owners are super caring and nice. Very genuine people and quality product what a refreshing business to walk into. The only thing is the main entrance is a little hidden....be sure to walk down the alley towards Starbucks and you will see on the right. Highly recommend
Tucked away inside a Courtyard between Williams Sonoma and Lilulemon - However inside the store is a superb meat market - The owner is warm, friendly and goes the extra mile to make sure that you are welcomed. Has truly the best freshest meats.
So amazing! The bacon wrapped coffee rub pork chops are so good. Can’t wait to go back and get some more! The owner is extremely friendly and helpful and the atmosphere can’t be beat.
