Von Hanson's

I love me a good butcher.There is always someplace cheaper. Or more convenient. But not better. No, not that.VonHanson's is a MSP staple, with 22 locations around the area. And they deliver what all good butcher shops do.Great service, answering questions, and figuring out how to get you what you want, even if you think they don't have it.Inside, well, it's a butcher shop. Clean, neat, lots of meat. But also fresh bread and a few other things. Well worth going to instead of your chain grocery store.

Good service, and good quality meat as well, their meat and cheese trail mix is great

This is the first time I've come into this location. I've been purchasing meats and things from Von Hanson's FOR YEARS. Usually go to the one in St. Paul near Half-Price Books. Have also gone to a couple in Eagan.We were out running errands and decided that we'd grill for dinner. Well, when you say "grill" Von Hanson's is what comes to mind immediately.We perused the shop a bit before approaching the case. I'd noticed a gentleman behind the counter shadowing our movements as we were heading in that direction. He was ready to serve and greeted us nicely.We got a variety of brats, buns, pork chops, and burger patties. If you're in their MVP Club, you get emails with coupons. I used one (on my phone - no paper necessary) to get one of the packs of burgers free.I am accustomed to the quality meats found here, and the brats we grilled did not disappoint. We will definitely be back. I'm just waiting, now, for that babyback rib sale.The staff, at every location I've shopped have been polite, professional, and occasionally very funny. I've never had a bad experience, including with the items purchased. The prices are reasonable, as well. And, if you're a hunter, they will process your kill for you. I've no idea how much that costs, as I don't kill my own food.Give them a try.

Stopped in for NYE food, was back visiting friends from California. After buying their fresh brats and delicious sweet and spicy jerky they even threw in a free container of dill ranch pretzels! Amazing service.

Great experience !I was buying beef ribs for Father's Day and needed some help since they cannot be found at a regular grocer. There was a lot of staff ready to help and all very friendly and knowledgeable. Unfortunately, I cannot remember the name of the person that helped me but he showed me every cut of meat that I was purchasing and butchered it to my liking with great suggestions. I will be back for sure! Quality meats and great service. Worth the $. After a little research I found out that the chicken they sell is the same as the organic free range chicken provider that is sold at Valley Natural co-op in Burnsville; my favorite place for organic groceries.

This location just opened in May 2014 and is one of the larger Von Hanson's I have been to. I love their stuffed Jalapenos and Beef Jerky, although they aren't cheap they are always good. I always enjoy the different kabobs they have too, be careful though, it's easy to over cook them. One of the guys working the counter suggested the Chicken Brat last time I was there, I was a little hesitant at first but it was awesome! Although Von Hanson is a little spendy the quality is always pretty good. I choose different places to get meat depending on what I want but with this one being right outside of my gym it's just too convenient not to return.

Von Hanson's quality has dropped way off. After purchasing pork chops twice that ended up being spoiled within a day of bringing them home we will no longer buy so called fresh meat from them. There steaks have gone down hill as well, when I purchase a New York strip or ribeye I expect it to be tender not tough. Their pretzels and brats are good and worth a visit.

The lady that works here is so nice, cheery, fun and seems to love her job. She helped me two weeks ago select the right smoked beef tendons for my dog. I shoulda got her name. She is that cool. Tonight I bought 5 more as they are only $1 each. I asked if these were good ones. My fave item VH carries are Maple Beef sticks so I splurged and bought a pack. I remember when these were $6.99 a # now they are $10.99 a # must be inflation! The same lady told me about their online coupons and put a flyer in my bag. When I get her name I'll post it in tips.

Von Hanson's has earned my 5-star rating. They've come to the rescue more than once! I specifically shop at the Champlin store but have also visited Bloomington (Just north of 494) and received outstanding service there too. I called the Champlin store to order a LARGE quantity of sliced roast beef for a last minute party. I called on a Wednesday and they had it ready for me Saturday afternoon. Buns too! The steaks are always great. The chicken, poppers, etc.....The fresh baked bakery buns are always a winner. If you didn't know, you can always get a sandwich to go. Von Hanson's has terrific lunch meats (Boars Head) and cheeses along with some fresh deli salads.Be sure and try the bacon-wrapped asparagus! KILLER on the grill. Friendly, helpful staff. Love my Von Hanson's!

Excellent selection, excellent service, excellent variety, and excellent products. BUT, they play terrible music, loudly, all the time. I had difficulty hearing the guy who was helping me, because Cyndi Lauper was wailing overheard. The poor older gentleman next to me was having a worse time of it. I don't go to Von Hanson's for the music -- it serves little purpose other than to make me feel as if I'm shopping at a bad gas station during the 1970s.
