Shannon’s Corner Butcher Shoppe

Many times I have gotten off the train and stopped at Shannon’s. Great large selection of sandwiches and every soup I have tried is wonderful. My absolute favorite is their chicken salad. My kids love all their desserts after making it a point to try each and every one. Deli type sandwiches or burgers and fantastic fries. Plus friendly staff who always remembers your name or maybe I just visit too often? You can even do wine or beer. Lent season rings fish fry to the Friday specials. Order in or call ahead. Try both to see what works best but do visit often!

This place ROCKS. The bread is fresh, the meats are plentiful– reasonably priced. We love this deli!

I blundered into Shannon’s a few days ago for lunch with a friend and we thought that we would try it. Best decision of the day (maybe of the year). We got lunch at Shannon’s and it was marvelous. In fact, it was so good that I got dinner to go home as well. Very tasty and hearty and the portions are quite large for most things. I’ve had the Italian salad (lunch) and the chopped salad and meat loaf (to go for dinner). The salads and sandwiches are very tasty, good sized and hearty.
My friend had soup and a ½ sandwich which he said were great. He was so happy that he bought both of us a delicious cannoli for desert. I don’t know where I put it, but I ate it!
The dining area is a bit on the noisy side. There is nothing soft to muffle voices (carpeting, drapes, etc). There was a large group chatting up a storm in the main dining area though.
One person commented negatively on parking. While it is true that it’s on a tight one block long street without a dedicated parking lot, there is ample parking within up to 1 or 2 blocks (Doesn’t anyone walk any more? Come on you soft suburbanites). and parking turns over fairly quickly on the block that it is on.

I’m new to the area, just moved here from NYC.
I like to buy from butchers instead of the grocery store you get a better quality of meat most of the time.
When I went in I was impressed by the selection, but not by the prices. Most of the meat is 50−80% more then buying at the Jewel. I expected for the price they were asking for the items to be organic, grass feed free roaming, but I was told it was not.
Do not know how they justify the price for regular meat.

Awesomeness. Oh i thought this was for Punkys! No, seriously great concept having a quality sit down here by the train et, al. You can bitch about parking, but that’s solved by walking 1 – 2 blocks you yahoo!

I’d like to speak to the Owner.

My husband and I are SO EXCITED to have this place within walking distance — we’ve been going for several years now. The sandwiches at the deli are amazing (favorites are the Tuna Salad and The Smoked), but honestly? We’ve never had a bad sandwich. The portions are large, so we usually split a sandwich and soup (which is also excellent). If the orzo salad is available for the side, give that a try. It’s DELICIOUS.
The butcher shop is great too. LOVE the hangar steak. Loved it more when it first started out and was dirt cheap, but it’s still well worth the price. I personally wish they had more locally farmed options so that I could ensure that the animals are humanely raised. That’s a big deal for me, otherwise I am sure I would purchase more meats here, because the quality is great.
Happy that they are in the process of expanding the dining room because they are ALWAY crowded. Give it a try — you really can’t go wrong. I’m going today to pick up some stuff for the grill!

This place is really great. They have meat that you can’t even compare to the chain grocery stores. Their staff is informative too. They helped me pick out dinner AND told me how to make it.
Definitely a great place to pick up a nice dinner without having to go to a steakhouse, and pay steakhouse prices.

I am a more regular customer at the Deli but decided to give the Butcher Shoppe a try a month or so ago and was very happy with the friendly and helpful service. I was planning on making Pork Carnitas and called ahead to ask what meat they recommended. I also was making Asian Pepper Steak that weekend and asked their recommendation for that too. They were very helpful, quoted me a price per pound, and were even willing to cut it up for me to make it easier– that was such a help to me! The meat was great quality and I appreciated that I could call ahead, tell them when I planned to pick it up, and it would be ready for me. While I was there I saw them making their stuffed jalapenos and so I ordered some of those too– you bake them at home– my husband LOVED them– he thought they had great flavor and kick and wants to have them again. Satisfied customers! :)

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! The deli! My husband and I have had lunch
Here several times & have enjoyed great soups & sandwiches every time !
Great having this in our hometown !!!

The deli is a great addition. Stop by for some awesome soup or sandwich.

Both the Butcher Shoppe and the Deli are simply amazing. My family is here atleast once a week if not twice. I look forward to the specials daily on Facebook. The staff is friendly and caring. It’s like your family :). Looking to try a new sandwich, my favorites are the Hot Steak Supreme or the Reuben, and for a side the potato salad. Keep up the good work… looking forward to grilling season too for Hanger Steaks!!!

Great meats and super helpful owners/​employees.
Bonus points for the following: My dad had bought me a gift certificate a while back, and I finally went to use it. I brought the gift certificate with me, and I brought my dog in the car as well.
On the way to Shannon’s, I stopped for gas. In the short time I was in the gas station and pumping the gas, my little boston terrier got hold of the gift certificate and ripped it all up.
I called and explained to Theresa, and she had no problem issuing a replacement.
Thanks folks!

Hey! Nice job on the stuffed mushrooms! This place smells terrific and the staff is all smiles. I can’t wait till they get their deli built, then I’ll do a full review. Great stuff!

Not impressed. There is only streetparking in a congested area. Quality of meat was comparable to Jewel at similar price.

It’s been said already but seriously, a review of Shannon’s wouldn’t be complete without mentioning the marinated hanger steak so let me just get that out of the way right now — it’s flat out awesome but is best, in my opinion, grilled so we might not be purchasing it as much in the coming winter months.
OK, moving on… I’ve easily been here at least 7 – 8 times since they re-​opened for business in May ’11 and haven’t made a bad purchase yet. The cranberry chicken sausage «brats» are a favorite here — they’re not too sweet and always very moist inside, even after sitting out on the grill just a little too long one evening. The twice baked stuffed potatoes make an amazing (and indulgent) side to any of their beef cuts — highly recommend them with the blue cheese or jalapeño & cheese burgers.
The staff is pretty great too! They’re really good at making suggestions about how to cook or prep the meats and have even provided me with a recipe or too. They occasionally throw in an extra little something something when I place a big order or a cookie when I brought my friend’s 4 year old daughter with me one time. It doesn’t hurt that they also support Magnificent Mutt’s, a local animal shelter where I adopted my dog. It’s that kind of service, kindness and focus on the community along with the quality meats that will keep me coming back vs going to any of the area grocers.

This used to be Clancy’s Corner Butcher Shoppe for awhile, now it’s been sold back to it’s original owners and has re-​opened as Shannon’s (
).
If you’ve never seen the documentary «Food, Inc.» watch it, and then when you feel the urge to buy meat locally, go here. They have fresh steaks, ground beef, chicken, etc. and then they have specialty stuff like stuffed chicken breasts, specialty burgers, sausages, and on and on. The people here are always friendly, their meat is from local sources and, well, it just tastes better.

A sign in the window says Shannon will re-​open the shop soon.
Who’s Shannon?

Just to let everyone know, Clancy’s Corner Butcher Shoppe has closed down… until future notice. I guess there is a very sick member of their close immediate family…
I know I will miss Clancy’s and all of their wonderful wares. I hope they are able to open up again soon.

Ok. so I don’t eat red meat but I ADORE their chicken… all of it, the plain, the marinated, the stuffed. it’s all so good. Their prices are sometimes cheaper than Jewel and there stuff is so much better.
The family owned business is a pleasure to visit!

Ohmygod-​ohmygod-​ohmygod! I’m so excited! Clancy’s is wonderful! They have a seriously great selection of freshly cut meats, from big thick steaks to specialty burgers to stuffed chicken breasts. So far we’ve tried the chopped salad, tortilla crusted tilapia, and several burgers. All are simply fantastic. I was especially impressed by the chopped salad. I’m not at all a fan of lettuce, but this salad was chock full of tastiness and the delicious was delicious.
And it’s CHEAP! Not Aldi cheap or anything, but cheap for the excellent quality. The gigantic 1/​3-​lb. jalapeño salsa burger is $ 1.40. The chopped salad, which is generous for two people and reasonable for three, is $ 5.99. Clancy’s is like Mike’s Meat Market’s practical nephew.
I will be spending a lot of money here, especially if they decide to add more side dishes.
It can be hard to snag one of the parking spaces on Park Ave — don’t worry though, there’s plenty of spaces within a block if you go west along the tracks or just park on St. Charles.
