Giving an absolutely honest review. I haven't actually ordered my beloved Pinnekjott for Christmas this year yet, but I've learned to order from Willie's before Thanksgiving for my Christmas needs. Make sure you order anything you need way ahead of your event, no matter what time of year. Willie's is very popular due to the great food quality and can run out of specialty items. Giving the business 5 stars because.. for many, many years as a customer my experience have been mostly good. Yes, I've had occasional issues with poor communication and expired items.. but the positive outweigh the negative.
I have been happy with them, but on this occasion, I just ordered some soup that expires on 5/24. The owner claims that the best dates are still good. If you are planning to purchase items to stock I suggest ask before placing the order. I, will not order again.
There are Scandinavian products I cannot get locally in Chicago. It's great to be able to enjoy the foods I ate as a child. Abba Fish Balls, Dinner sausages, Fena Laar and, erte stuing, and amazing Chocolates. The prices are more reasonable if I were to shop at specialty stores for similar products.
I've been ordering from Willy for years and usually have it the next day here in Spring Hill. Even stopped in and talked to Willy. I take a ride to say hello to the gang when I visit friends in Jensen Beach I'll take a ride to Willy's.
Great! I received in less than a week ...on the same day as order from Norwegianfoodstore. Prices are roughly the same when you factor shipping but here I can deliver to my po box which is good cuz I dont trust people to not steal my package. Have not compared the Willys austrialian to the Norwegian pinnekjot yet. Looks good though and well packed. Thank you! Update: So I tried both Norwegian and Wllies, the Norwegian one is more dried out and requires a longer soaking time than wllies, tasted exactly the same but I like willies better because it wasnt so hard to soak, the nowegian one definitely requires 30 hours soaking this would be good in 24. But theyre both great and I could not tell the difference except the bones and pieces are cut smaller in the Norwegian bag Gildan I think it was, 2kg or 4 pounds (1kg=2lbs) for 5 people is plenty.
Will visit again.
TACK för Willy's professionella och kundvänliga slaktare TACK för att vi kan köpa fläskskött från Danmark, Tyskland, Nederländerna och andra, som alla har ett lågt penicillininnehåll till skillnad från svenskt fläskskött. Och TACK för att vi kan köpa utsökt nötkött från Irland, New Zeeland, Brasilien och andra. huggen som på kontinenten - t.ex. T-bone, högrev, flankbiff, culotte, cuvette och mer.
Just okay and nothing more
Do NOT use these guys. They are non commutative and ship when they want to. I made an order and after 4 days the order was still pending. I called five different times and no one responded. I emailed....no response. I attempted to cancel the order. I ended up ordering from an amazing place in Poulsbo and these jokers sent me an email saying they already shipped the order which didn’t happen for another day. The event was today. We had a delightful dinner and we are awaiting another box of lutefisk from this unorganized bunch. They should be embarrassed. Use any alternate over these folks
First sylte was good, second so salt it had to be thrown out. Seal on kjøttkaker was damaged on several packsges, was told it was "safe". Not so much!!!!!!!!@!!!!! No refund offered
The slowest delivery in my life! The quality is very poor and prices are too high. All the positive reviews seem fake. Don't trust this company!
I have now tried for days to contact the company, but every time I'm transferred to a voicemail. The message is to leave a message, so that was what I did several times. No one ever calls you back! Also tried to write e-mail to the company, same result, no response! I even drove directly to the office in Ft. Lauderdale (I live in Tampa, FL). I was there in normal business hours, but company was closed and shut! In short... this company cannot be trusted!
$15.00 "small order charge" didn't show up till AFTER I ordered and paid-- Also paid for 3-5 day ground- $15.00-- and took forever to show up. What was already an over-priced $22.00 wound up being $53.00 Cousins manage to send me LARGER items FROM NORTHERN NORWAY in HALF the time.
Blamed me for ordering only nine days before Christmas party. When they shipped it UPS six days later and it didn't arrive in time, they blamed UPS and me for not ordering early enough. Do not trust. Carlo C., their operations manager is an absolute a*s*s.
Placed my order on Dec. 6 for delivery on Dec. 19. One item, the Swedish Farmers Cheese, was of utmost importance. On Dec. 17, I got notification from Paypal that I had been refunded $22 for the cheese, which was out of stock! Never heard anything from the seller. Had to find the cheese someplace else and pay another expedited shipping fee in order to have this cheese for Christmas. Upon calling the seller, he claims he is blameless, since people come in to his store and buy his stock. I would think that if somebody has ordered the item, it could be set aside to make sure the order can be fulfilled. Will never use this seller again.
I ordered lutefisk for a Christmas party, with delivery scheduled for 12/13/2013. Order was confirmed and credit card was charged, but nothing arrived. Not on the 13th, 14th, or 15th either. Party is over and I'm VERY disappointed.
I am so glad I found your site. Some of my favorite nougat bars from Denmark that I can't find anywhere here in the U.S. I will be a repeat customer!
I missed the 2pm deadline for same day orders, but received a delivery confirmation the same day anyway. We ordered some old favorites for our 17th of May party, and recommended Willy's products to all our Norwegian friends. Great, timely and professional service. Thanks!
This was the only place I could find some Norwegian and Swedish sweets I'd been looking for and they were shipped quickly. I will definitely shop here again!

Mar 20,2025They used to have a good product, for the last few years their meats products are barely edible. I have thrown away most of what I ordered from them, it is not for human consumption…
