Anoka Meat and Sausage

I don't like leaving reviews after just one visit but I won't be going back. Bought a ribeye that looked good cooked it on the grill and it was easily one of the worst steaks I've ever had. Lacked flavor and was tough both of which surprised me being it was a ribeye.

Great place - 5 stars!I've been buying most of my meat products from Coborn's in Ramsey for many years. But I haven't been very happy with the "Four Brothers" brand. (The previous "Kretschmar" brand was even worse.) Fortunately, I visited Anoka Meat and Sausage for the first time and I'm very impressed. This is definitely my new go-to spot for my zero-carb, meat based diet.This place has nearly everything you could ever want from a meat market. Plus, they have tons of extra specialty products like spices, rubs, sauces...and more. And they're the ONLY place I've found (so far) in my local area that offers bacon with no added sugar!I don't know why it's is so hard to find processed meat with no sugar. Companies insist on throwing sugar in every damn food product and they even do it with meat...rotisserie chickens, hot dogs, sausages, hot dogs, jerky, brats, bacon, braunschweiger, etc. Don't believe me? Read the labels. They try to hide it by listing sugars on the ingredient label as organic cane juice, turbinado sugar, sucanat, molasses, honey, dextrose, kings syrup, invert syrup, maltose...you name it...they try to sneak it in everything. I found a website that lists sugars by 65 difference deceptive and sneaky names. It's sad. I guess the big food companies want everyone to be diabetic.Last but not least, the employees are very friendly and I feel the prices are very reasonable. You can go to Main Street Anoka and buy a high end product for the same price (or less) than the big box grocery stores with questionable quality. What's not to love?Thumbs up!-Maxx

I Stopped there Monday afternoon bought 3 pounds of burger put in frig next day went to bag it up and freeze it and it smelled rotten had to throw it away. Won't go back there

Friendly helpful staff, wonderful sausage and meats. Good prices. What more could you ask for? My go to meat store for the last 5 years.

Local grocer with proper butcher just closed, so we went on a meatspedition.Elk River was small and a bit dingy, Osseo was huge and kitschy and overpriced, Anoka Meat and Sausage was juuuust right. Good selection, including Amish whole chickens, some limited (frozen) seafood, and enough bacon and sausage variety to keep you busy for a year of Sunday mornings. Plenty of staff on hand for a busy Saturday and no tedious 'take a number' deli counter BS. What we've eaten so far was good quality, tasty stuff and I look forward to firing up a few steaks as the weather improves.

Good selection of meat.Better prices than other meat markets in the area.Friendly employees.

This place has the best bacon I've ever had in my liiiiiife. Their hickory smoked brand. Just outstanding; I shall never buy bacon anywhere else. The shop is fun to visit and has lots of interesting blends; nice staff and lots of local options. Grassfed beef as well! #loveit

I love shopping local and this meat shop is our neighborhood treasure. Grateful to have fresh meat we can trust!

This is an update to my poor review previously left. My wife and I were contacted by Anoka Meats today, they were as concerned about the poor quality as we were actually probably more so. The Mgr told us to throw away the poor meat and gave us a 100% refund. It doesn't get any better than that! Obviously they got in some poor tenderloin from their supplier.This business is concerned about their customers and their reputation!WE ARE STILL LOYAL CUSTOMERS!

Outstanding hot dogs, excellent burgers and brats. Once you've tried them you'll never be satisfied with anything less.
