Meat Masters

★★★★★ 4.6 (77) • $$

"Awesome butcher shop. I'm so happy I found this place. Bone marrow is so hard to find, but they have it here! And great quality. I love that they can cut it anyway you desire and the pieces had quite a bit of marrow on them. I'll definitely be back to try more!"

La Potosina Meat Market

★★★☆☆ 3.2 (6)

"Stopped in here for a quick lunch to go, assumed like many Mexican grocery stores they would have restaurant style food to eat it or to go. And they did! I ordered the torta carne asada for myself and tacos for a co-worker: steak, pork, rajas y queso. Everything was authentic and homemade. Awesome food and inexpensive."

Masala Pantry

★★★★☆ 4.2 (32)

"I always will Drive Pass Masala pantry most of the time . I finally decided to try them out and I was pleased! Available parking options . Well organized store . Nice price. You do not have to drive far off into town to get some Indian food no more . Customer service is great . I love the samosas! I believe it's buy one get one free!"

La Michoacana Meat Market

★★★☆☆ 2.8 (4) • $$

"Best place to go in Corpus and surrounding areas to make your favorite Mexican dishes and more. I get all the best meats here for excellent prices too. My favorite is the pre-seasoned chicken-always a hit at the barbeque."

Prescott Meat Market

★★★★★ 5 (2)

"We love Prescott Meat Market. We have been going there for many years, love the service and the friendiness. You can't beat the prices, it's very reasonable and also the lottery is a big winner. Highly recommend them."

QC Meat Market

★★★★★ 4.6 (5) • $

"QC Meat Market is the prime example of a properly ran quality general market. It has everything the local residents need, and really good people running the place. The deals on the high quality butchery are hard to resist. They also have many other day-to-day necessities. One of my favorite things to pick up when I'm swinging by here is their Bistec Marinado. Sauté it, grill it, do whatever to it; it is so good!"

Prime Bazaar

★★★★☆ 3.5 (10)

"I love prime bazaar! It's convenient, clean, and they're always fully stocked with the essentials. They even offer curbside pick up. When ordering curb side I've placed my order maybe an hour or two before and it was ready quick! Just what I needed. Also, once they were out of stock of what I needed but the staff mentioned they'll get it the next day - and sure enough they did! Super friendly."

Alice Meat Market & Groceries

★★★★★ 5 (1) • $$

"Finally a meat market worth going to and having so many fresh meats to choose from. It is clean and the meats are displayed in a very nice way. If you ain't in the mood for meats you can go in and have some homemade Pork skins and cracklings or on Friday and Saturday you can go in and have some tamales from that one famous place in the valley area Delia's Tamales. I must tell you that they are kept in the cold box but don't panic just go home and warm them up in the microwave wrapped in a cloth and presto they are good as freshly made. They even sell adult beverages as it is a small grocery store inside. What makes this meat market special is that they have the lowest prices in town, especially when we are in an area that fajitas reign king of the grill. Ain't nothing better than getting a slab of regular or Angus fajitas for a price much lower than there other counterpart. All in all I do not see any reason for this place not to prosper. All I know is that I have found my place of choice when it comes to fresh meats."

Vincek's Smokehouse

★★★★★ 4.6 (61) • $$

"Great place to pick up some meats for the grill, smoker or fridge and to munch on good Que before you hit the road home.Country store feel with nice people at each counter to help you along the way. Walk in and head to the back right to order your Que or straight to the meat counter for your order of fresh meats.Jak Se Mas?"

The Salty Slab

★★★★★ 4.6 (10)

"Super thankful the small town of Stockdale has this meat market now! The quality of meat is superb and top quality. They also sell delicious sides like baked potatos and Mac & cheese. I love their jalapeno poppers. They sell a few groceries like bananas, bread, some canned items, and snacks. They now offer hot sandwiches that you can order ahead of time for pickup. Today I go 3 dozen tamales (chicken, bean and cheese, and pork jalapeno) and everything was delicious. I love this place and the owner's are super sweet. They always provide excellent customer service here. Many places in Stockdale close by 2pm and I love that Salty Slab stay open later."

Voss Halal Meat & Fish Market

★★☆☆☆ 2.4 (9) • $$

"This place has amazing fish! Customer service is nice. Definitely sit outside, needs a little work on the inside.It takes a long time for them to prepare their dishes, so call ahead."

Kasper Meat Market

★★★★★ 4.6 (27)

"I stopped on the way to San Antonio to get my nails done and After speaking to the manager of the shop he told me that I should stop in to the meat market because it was world famous. Being that I like sausage I decided to stop. When you walk in it it's very rustic and old. I ordered the beef and pork sausage mix."

Bonito Michoacan

★★★★☆ 4 (5) • $

"Bomb tacos, bomb tortas... Love their food. 1 dollar tacos on Tuesdays! Super friendly staff & super fast! Can't go wrong with this place."

La Michoacana Meat Market

The Rust Game Place

Dean & Peeler Meatworks

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Nice staff but note that this location doesn't have much in the way of stock. If you are local, they can order it in from San Antonio distribution but if you re driving through, you might want to call ahead. Great hamburger!"

Bellville Meat Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (121) • $$

"Nice market with plenty to choose from. They also have BBQ takeout on-site. We bought some country ribs and brought them home to slow cook. They were excellent! Worth a stop, bring a cooler."

Tuttle’s Meat Market

★★★★★ 5 (3)

"Dang Tuttle's! This hot link sausage and ribeye rocked! We are very impressed with the selection and service in Rockport. We are definitely fans from now on !"

Novosad's Bbq & Sausage Market

★★★★★ 4.7 (9)

"This place had been around a long time. Characteristic of the small town BBQ place. Meat and sausages are packed locally. Chickens are from farms around Gonzales. This is the Texas that slow moving pickup truck would pull over and let you by. Everybody knows everybody else. If you get there by noon on a Saturday, like you'll have to settle with what they have left.We had a take out dinner. Smoke taste was heavy, ribs tender, chicken was not dry, briskets were easy to eat even without a knife. To wash all that down was a Shiner boch brewed 15 miles to the west."

City Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (56) • $

"On way home from Houston, did a quick search to find good bbq. Have tried City Market in Luling and was amazing. So figured would be Greta's well. Ordered sliced brisket sandwich. Meat was tender, very easy to bite into. Lacked a good smoke flavor. Also needed more flavor overall. Would have benefited from more dry rub prior to smoking, ad that spice. BBQ sauce was ok, nothing special."

Carniceria Hidalgo

★★★★★ 5 (4)

"Great Barbacoa on the weekend made the old fashioned way not out of a box you have too get there early though they will be sold out and closed by noon"

Dean & Peeler Meat Market

★★★★★ 5 (1)

"If you get a chance and see steaks on a menu stating they are from Dean and Peeler, make sure you order it and enjoy a truly wonderful cut of beef!!!"

Gonzales Food Market

★★★★☆ 3.6 (54) • $

"When writing reviews I try to take three factors into consideration. These are, Location, Price, and Food quality. In order to provide readers with a fair balanced review of an establishment I try to balance these three things.The Gonzales Food Market is in the historic district of downtown Gonzales, and one look around will tell you that the aim of this place is to preserve the old fashion historic feel and ambiance. The Gonzales Food Market holds true to this genre. From the moment you walk in, you feel like you have stepped back in time a few decades to a simpler time. We arrived just a half hour before closing, but they still had plenty of food ready to go, even though there were not many people left in the restaurant. The staff was polite and it seemed as though they were tired from a long hard day, which is to be expected at that time. We were served promptly and found a table in the back to sit down at. I was surprised at the low price we paid for Texas BBQ, which tends to run on the pricy side. The food was good for the price and we got plenty to eat. I got the half Chicken plate and my wife got the Lamb ribs and Brisket plate. Everything was good except for the lamb ribs were nothing but pure fat with no sign of any meat. It may have been the time of the day and this was all that was left, but it was what it was.Aside from the lamb ribs, the place could use some maintenance and brightening up. It is one thing to keep the rustic historic feel, but it does not mean that things need to look run down to achieve that. With a little spit and polish and some good lighting, this place could feel a lot warmer. While the food is decent for the price, the general feel of the place does not incite the feelings of wanting to go back. I probably will, but I am saying this for the owner's sake to give them some advice on how they can improve this business.Bottom Line: I think the Gonzales Food Market is a good place for some reasonably priced Texas BBQ. It seems like a nice little family-run business and I wish them the best."

Pruski's Meat Market

★★★★☆ 4.3 (35) • $$

"Very nice people here. Excellent customer service. Great selection of fresh meats. They also sell chips, snacks, eggs, foil, avocado, cilantro, onion, A1 sauce, bbq sauce, desserts, beer, and much more. I've driven by here so many times and thought it was a typical gas station corner store but it is so much more."

Mex-Mart

★★★☆☆ 3 (1)

"Setting: Grocery storeFood Ordered: Barbacoa taco highly recommended! Not oily; good seasoning. Chicken fajita taco a little dry; good seasoning. Service: Most spoke Spanish only but great service."

The Meat Grinder

★★★★☆ 3.5 (2)

"Zabiha Halal meat!! Excellent customer service and a friendly and warm ambiance"

Staples Street Meat Market

★★★☆☆ 3.1 (38) • $$

"Hands down the best meat market in South Texas. Great products from local ranchers, etc. Owned and operated by the friendliest down-to-earth people. And wouldn't you know it, it is currently within walking distance from where I reside on the Southside. They will be moving down the road in the next year or so to a brand new bigger facility. It will be slightly more inconvenient to me, but the expansion is much needed given their current business demands. If you are in Corpus and plan to do some grilling or throw a barbecue, this is your place!"

The Chopping Block

★★★★★ 4.5 (6)

"Extremely impressed with their choice of beef cuts and pre-seasoned proteins. We typically order the filets which were able to be cut with a butter knife when cooked to medium rare. Yes the filets were a little pricey but I've learned you get what you pay for and theses are worth every penny for the quality. We've also had their ribeyes which were equally amazing. We tried the bacon wrapped cream cheese jalapeños which grilled up nicely. We also tried the stuffed chicken breast, spinach sundried tomatoes and Parmesan. It was ok. Chicken was bland. If it were me I would flatten out the thicker part of the breast and butterfly it deeper to allow for more filler and it cook more evenly and add either more Parmesan or a creamier melting cheese . As it was the thinner end was somewhat dry and couldn't taste the Parmesan. However, not a deal breaker. Definitely our go-to for a superior cut and quality of meat."

Pancho's Meat Market No 7

★★★★☆ 4.2 (5)

"It's convenient and has everything that I would need from a meat market. Super clean. Check it out."

Teloloapan Meat Market

★★★☆☆ 3 (3) • $

"Don't just tell a friend about this place. Tell a Loapan.It's a very good quality and affordable meat market that also shares its premises with a grocery store of the same name, just as good.I like to shop for groceries at international stores with things from around the world, it's lovely to avoid the main brands and go to places like this, with delicious imported ingredients and treasures and surprises.It's friendlier than a lot of grocery stores and it's located conveniently in one of the best areas in all of the USA for food."

Dozier's BBQ

"I took a package of Tuttle's carne guisada and warmed it up. This is superb and tasty carne, I'll stop for more of this in the future, yum! The jerky is 5 star also."

Maxwell's Meat Market

★★★★★ 4.7 (10)

"Sat at a picnic table in the shade eating perfectly boiled shrimp, seasoned with a subtle salty heat. Ambient train sounds filled the air as I pounded the generous portion for lunch. $20 bucks will fill you up with warm fuzzy goodness. FYI, the crawfish will be on my schedule for tomorrow..,"

La Michoacana Meat Market

★★☆☆☆ 2.1 (12)

"Ever since I saw the bones of the structure going up, I've been eagerly awaiting the building to completed! I am a lover of Mexican food and this place is a "cielo en la tierra," including the ceveza! Lol. For the gringos, that's "heaven on earth, plus the beer!" From the home made tortillas, various selections of bread, Jarritos, peppers, and even tacos and hot plates, this place has it all. It's a pretty good sized store and, aside from it being a meat market, it includes aisle and aisles of grocery items. The store is clean and the people are nice!"
