PLEASE RESPECT EVERYONE...
We understand that times are stressful for us all. For Burhop's, it's especially hard, as our staff is on the front lines, dealing with the public 7 days a week. Ours is a small store, and we need to keep both our staff and our customers safe. So please. please do the following:
1) Wear a mask or face covering that covers your nose and mouth.
Many people, especially children apparently, can be asymptomatic, i.e. have no symptoms but are still spreading the virus. The people who refuse to wear a mask are being disrespectful to everyone they come into contact with. Just because you don't feel sick doesn't mean you're not spreading the virus. Nor does it mean that you won't eventually get sick.
2) Take advantage of our curbside pickup. $25 Minimum order,
Just call with a credit card. 630-887-4700. Our fish and prepared foods are always fresh and premium quality - we will give you what you want (as long as we have it) with no contact required. We will also wrap fish for freezing, so you can have some handy for a future meal. (We had to institute a minimum as we were spending an inordinate amount of time on $5 orders).
3) If you want to come into the store. please LOOK FIRST, to see if there are already 12 customers in the store.
If there are already 12 customers (staff is extra), please wait outside until someone leaves. The entry way is covered - just be sure to leave a safe distance between yourself and the next person.
A few weekends ago we had 3 customers who refused to cover their faces at a particularly difficult time when the store was busy and our staff was forced to ask them to leave. We are happy to take phone orders from people outside the store, and we can deliver the order to your car. There is no need to put others at risk. We have a lot of customers who are older and more vulnerable, as well as staff in the vulnerable age group. At one point on a Saturday we had to close the store for 15 minutes to sanitize because too many people had been inside, including the unmasked.
Wearing a mask won't kill you, not wearing one
may kill somebody else.

KEEPING OUR CUSTOMERS & STAFF SAFE...
With the exception of our most busy days, e.g. Christmas Eve and New Years Eve, we offer delivery to your car in front of the store. On days when we are super busy, we ask that you let us know when you've arrived and we may ask you to come to the door to pick it up.
To ease the concerns of our customers and lessen risk to our staff, we are now offering the following special services:
1) Pre-paid phone orders with a credit card - we will have them ready when you arrive, no waiting. 630-887-4700. Just grab and go.
2) FREE CURB PICK-UP - Order minimum: $25. Call the store when you arrive, wait in your car, someone will bring it out. Order with a credit card and tell us that you want curbside pick up.
3) Phone orders, pay at pick-up. You still pay at the register, but your order is ready to go.
PLEASE BE AWARE THAT IF WE HAVE CUSTOMERS IN THE STORE, WE MAY NOT BE ABLE TO HAVE YOUR ORDER READY IMMEDIATELY. TRY AND GIVE US AN HOUR IF YOU CAN.
Want your fish for later? Ask us to wrap it for freezing.
Of course, you can just come in and shop as usual - we are constantly wiping down store surfaces, keeping things as pristine as possible. We ask that if you are not feeling well, or if you've been exposed to the virus, that you take advantage of the curbside pickup. Our staff is covering their mouths and noses, we ask that you do the same.
NO MORE THAN 18 PEOPLE ARE ALLOWED IN THE STORE AT ONE TIME, INCLUDING STAFF - SO PLEASE DON'T BRING THE WHOLE FAMILY!
We also have our prepared foods available for delivery through DoorDash - not our raw items, but sandwiches, soup, cooked entrees, prepared salads and side dishes. Click Here for DoorDash deliveries. You'll see the menu on their site. Sale prices are not available on DoorDash orders, as they take a large fee.

Pick up some suggested party menu ideas the next time you're in the store - enjoy your guests, let us do the work!
In late June we catered a fun event for a family in Wilmette - a combined 40th and 5th birthday party, father and son. Another father and son duo, Burhop's Chef Jaime and his son Jonny, cooked up kebabs, lobster tails, sweet corn and more for a happy crowd of many ages. According to the hostess:
"An AMAZING feast thanks to you, John and Jamie. The food was amazing and the chefs could not have been nicer. Everyone was raving and we certainly let them know who to call! Thank you again, you have very satisfied customers."
|
|
Recently we did an oyster bar for a party in Hinsdale, and a lobster tail birthday party in Kenilworth.
And in early October, we did a socially distanced wedding reception with individual lobster boil dinners.
If you have something to celebrate, do it with great seafood! We will custom design a menu, just for you. To find out more, email us at nbburfish@gmail.com, or call us at 630-887-4700.
