Steve's Meat Market

My boyfriend took a drive down to De Soto to get some steaks. He returned with ribeye's and bacon. The ribeyes were really good quality and they tasted great. They were huge cuts so we ended up making a few meals. The bacon is some of the best I've had from a butcher shop. It's nicely smoked, the perfect cut and thickness and cooks beautifully. I would drive the 40 minutes just for the bacon. No joke. I have zero complaints except that it's a bit far away.

They have fresh, delicious meat. It is predominately beef and pork, but they also sell chicken, eggs, pies, dog treats, deli meats and cheeses. Their bacon is the best! They have taken advance orders from me and everything is packed and ready when I get there. I won't buy meat at grocery stores since I discovered Steve's!

Steve's is FANTASTIC!!!! Great options for beef, pork, and chicken. ASK and YOU SHALL RECEIVE. The filet cuts are amazing and I've never been disappointed. You tell them you want a softball sized filet and you will get it. You tell them you want a three finger New Your strip and you'll get it. You tell them you want a 3/4 inch ham steak and you'll get it. You can buy bacon precut or ask for thicker slices or ask a chunk of uncut bacon.... I LOVE IT. Chunk your own bacon for dishes that need chunks instead of ground strips... THE BEST!!!!Oh... and I can't forget their pies (SO GOOD). Stay away from the pies.... more for ME!!!!!

Have you been to the meat section of the grocery store? Tried to pick out 'prime-aged' or navigate other fancy marketing tricks just to find out that your steak was 'meh'?That doesn't happen here. Steve's Meats is offering up only locally-raised, locally-processed meats ranging from the bovine to ovine. You want grass-fed ground chuck? Last visit, that ran $7.99/lb. and that's an ultra-competitive price point for any other outlet. Locally raised porcine? Thick sliced bacon at $6.99/lb. Grass-fed ribeyes were on special, as was a 5 lb. bag of ground round (80/20) for $15.99. Mind you, these are only examples and no guarantee of pricing, but the point is that Steve's is offering up a better product at competitive prices, and it is entirely worth the side trip if you don't live in Desoto. And the flavor speaks for itself!Also, Steve's takes orders via its website and offers up frequent specials in 'bundle' style selections. Checkout their FaceBook group to see what Steve's is featuring. I myself have picked up their 25-lb. 'grab bag', a mix of cuts and options, at prices as low as $49.99. Two bucks a pound for a mix of pork chops, chicken cuts, and beef options? I've even shared larger packages with friends, divvying up the goodies and sharing the costs. If you can afford it, then stock your freezer!Lastly, and most importantly, my kids can simply *taste the difference*, and we aren't talking about critical palates here. To them, a chicken nugget is delicious. But they know Steve's Meats as soon as they taste them. If they can taste the difference, then you can, The pork products have FLAVOR, unlike the 'other white meat' options you find at your grocery. The beef speaks for itself. Even their locally made sausages and franks are simply unparalleled! Either Desoto exit off of K10 will get you there. Steve's will make sure that you make a return trip.

The parking lot is always packed on a Saturday afternoon, for good reason! We come almost every Saturday to stock up on local meats for the week. The prices are super competitive and it's hard to buy grocery packaged meats once you've been to Steve's. We've tried everything from their TBones to the summer sausage, Ground round to butterfly chicken breasts, pork cutlets to wings, sausages to ribeyes, flank steak to bacon, dog bones to soup bones... I'm telling you, great cuts of meat. We witnessed the butchering of an entire pig (in the background) so I'm assuming you can butcher and order most anything you like. They have a smoker in the parking lot with ribs (etc) for quick easy prepared smoked meats too (come early)! My Yelp buddy tells me the eggs are a steal. We love Steve's for their service, their selection, their weekly specials and their closeness to our farm! Great place to road trip!

Had my elk processed this year and they did an AWESOME job! I got so much more meat back than from other processors.HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Been purchasing sides of beef for years. Thought I'd give Steve's a shot. Unfortunately, it was the worst beef I've ever ordered. EVERY cut is very tough, even after slow cooking the roast for 8 hours. Steaks are even more disappointing and fall very short on flavor. Now I suspect they can't guarantee every cow, however, other details that now push me away from purchase from them again are... 1 They poorly packaged the steaks, even rolling them up making it difficult to defrost. 2 No extra fat trimming, but I didn't pay for that, so they get a pass, but others have done far more for me. 3 I emailed my concern to them asking what I can do better next time to ensure quality. I didn't complain, just asked if I could have done something more to ensure a better cow, and they have not responded. Maybe I was just unlucky, but that's my two thousand dollar experience with Steve's.

Nice meat. Good help and selection!Clean. I could go on and on, just go to Steve's meat market, you won't be disappointed!

I grow up in DeSoto and my dad always bought his meat from Steve's, he loved the sausage. I took my husband to Steve's meat market and now when he wants a good steak,we head to Steve's.

Have been going here for 20 years, prices are reasonable, quality second to none. Nothing like cut to order bacon!
