Joy View Meat Market

After a disastrous Thanksgiving dinner, I was looking for a new butcher. I didn't want to risk investing a lot of money in our traditional Christmas Day Prime Rib Dinner only to have poor results. So I checked YELP for recommendations and discovered Joyview Meat Market, and I'm glad I did.The first thing that hit me when I walked in the door was the smell of burning wood. It gave the place the feeling of being in a lodge with a cozy fire. Since it was Christmas Eve, the place was busy, but there was plenty of staff on hand to move things along. Everyone was happy and pleasant. Maybe it was the season, but I'm sure a good part of it was meeting and greeting loyal customers. Many of the people I met had been coming to Joyview for years.I had the pleasure of meeting the owner Greg. I told him I was a new customer, and we ended up talking shop for quite some time. He's very proud of being part of four generations of butchers and owning and operating his fine shop.The market had a wide variety of meats on display. Everything seemed very high quality. I was pleasantly surprised to see Srodek's pierogi in the refrigerated case since my family loves them. Oh, and if you're looking for great smoked kielbasa, Joyview makes their own kielbasa (fresh and smoked), and it's wonderful.So, back to the Prime Rib, the star of our Christmas Day dinner. It was fabulous - so juicy and tender. It just melted in our mouths. Everyone raved about it so much that we have decided to make Joyview Meat Market our only destination for high quality meat. Check them out and don't forget to say "hi" to Greg. He's a super nice guy.

Thursday before Christmas, they opened a wee bit early with a line all along the east wall outside the store. Parking was limited because it was so busy. Everyone in line cooperated, grabbed a number on the way in, and waited. I got smoked and fresh kielbasa, extra hot horseradish, and some pierogi and city chicken.My fridge is full of great scents of garlic right now, as the kielbasa gets used up.Staff was organized, having fun, and very efficient.I highly recommend this store

Great place for fresh meat and homemade kielbasa. Bakery items are great too. I highly recommend this market. Great friendly service. Prices are good.

When I'm back in Detroit I come bring a cooler to take back local foods I can't get in St. Louis. Joy View can fill many of my needs. I grew up a little over a mile from here there were 5 or 6 Polish meat markets. Joy View is the only one left. A piece of my past that doesn't disappoint. House-made Kielbasa, fresh cuts of meat, specialty cuts like City Chicken. Thy also carry Kowalski hot dogs and lunchmeat, Srodek pierogi, National Coney Island Chili and local bakery items like Kolachki. Family owned and operated it shows. Not much has changed in 50 plus years and that's a great thing.

Had exactly what I wanted for a great price. Will definitely be back here for my meats!

Okay. This place is not fancy but who cares. It's legit an old school butcher. I went today because I was looking for fresh meat and wanted to support a local business. I got there early since I was out and I read that it gets busy on Saturday. Plus, they are being responsible and only let 10 people in the store at one time. I arrived about 10 minutes before opening and was pleased to see a line. That tells you all you need to know about a business. I was excited to be able to try their smoked kielbasa and fresh kielbasa. They had the usual meat. I also wanted to get a smallish whole chicken. This place is a gem. The workers are all so nice. The meat products are fresh. I will definitely be back. This place has been in business since 1969. They must be doing something right. I am cooking the pork steak I got today. They were meaty. Without alot of bones. BON APPÉTIT!

Went to Joy View today and I will definitely go back. Great selection & quality meats. Prices are better than most other meat mkts. Friendly staff Oxtails that don't need trimming for $10lb

Wonderful store for lunch meats, meat and Polish foods including breads and desserts. It is small, so it is for my disabled brother shop here. So friendly and clean. We love this store! Highly recommend their steaks & ham!

They just lost a long time customer. Called last week to ask if they had any fresh chicken kielbasa available and the young man said "no." Asked if any was going to be made and he replied with "I don't know.". Asked him if he could please ask someone else there more knowledgeable and he wouldn't. Sounded like he didn't even know that FRESH CHICKEN KIELBASA was made at the market. Very disappointed.
