A South Side Tradition


A South Side Tradition
For more than four decades, Chicagoland Ham has proudly served Chicago and the surrounding suburbs. Known for their signature honey glazed hams, smoked turkeys, and homestyle sides, they’ve helped make holidays, birthdays, and special gatherings truly memorable. Originally founded as part of the Honey Baked Ham Co., Chicagoland Ham traces its roots back to 1968, when it introduced spiral-sliced, bone-in hams to the area. After training at the original location, Robert "Wicks" Williams opened the Stony Island Avenue shop in 1978, where he continues to serve as owner and operator today.
Built on quality, tradition, and love for community, Chicagoland Ham remains committed to excellent service, exceptional food, and creating lasting traditions with every customer. For the past 38 years, funds from Chicagoland Ham have also supported students pursuing higher education and going to college, reflecting the company’s ongoing investment in the future of the community it proudly serves.
