Ready Meats

The service was very friendly and personal. I bought some English bangers (very good), a spicy beef stick (tasty, but nothing special), and a few slices of the house summer sausage (which was absolutely fantastic!). We will be going back for more summer sausage soon, and maybe pick up a roast. If I lived closer, I'd visit a couple times each month.

A+++ recommendation! I came in hungry, and needing a celebratory steak! Left with a tenderloin (and some dog bones for my little man!!). The service was perfect! Helpful and friendly! But the STEAK? Probably one of the best steaks I've eaten in a long time .. either at home or restaurant! Thank you Ready Meats! I'll be back!!

Great local meat shop. Snagged some New York strips, whole chicken legs, and bacon for a grill session and was not disappointed.

Great Butcher shop and meat market! Great selections and high quality! Only one thing I love you guys but not coming back till you dump the mask mandates! Don't listen to these spineless, wimpy branch Covid-ians! They have lost their minds, unless your eating the meat raw, it's not been refrigerated and handled improperly by the customer or prepared improperly you should be good to go! A mask and vaccine or not will not effect the customer or customers health; if the worrisome are worried get the shot, double dip mask and hunker down and let the rest of the world enjoy a good juicy steak!

This is a northeast staple! Their meats are phenomenal and their PIZZA kits (which includes gluten free) are delicious! So impressed time after time with this gem!

You guys. This little neighborhood gem has the BEST meat in town, hands down. It's another one of those little places that I don't want to write about, lest the word get out and I can no longer get my pepperoni and steak when I want it, but I'd rather everyone know about them so they stay in business forever!The boyfriend and I do birthday steaks, and the crew at Ready Meats always delivers a quality cut of meat at a really affordable price. You need two pounds of pepperoni for family pizza night? They've got you covered. Beef jerky? No problem! And in the event they don't have something you want, you can always ask for it, and they'll order it, or let you know where else you CAN get it. Ready Meats is another small business - pay with cash if you can, and I do believe they request a minimum for credit card purchases. With fees running in around 3% across the board, it's understandable. They might even still take checks! Support your local businesses - steaks for everyone this holiday season!

This has been my go-to meatery since moving to Northeast. That and I really despise buying meat at grocery chains like Cub; more often than not it's just bland or gristly. And while, yes, the prices are higher than the grocery store, the cost difference is worth every penny for the quality. I've purchased many different types of meat at Ready Meats and have never been disappointed (but a special shout-out to the bacon!). Brisket, flank steak, all kinds of brats, chorizo sausages, bacon wrapped chicken, New York strip steak.... and beef sticks! I judge a meatery heavily on the quality of their beef sticks and these do not disappoint! Great flavor, not tough or dry. I'm partial to the spicy ones as they have a good heat to them that's not overwhelming. Other than the high quality of the meat, what keeps me coming back is the excellent customer service. Seriously stellar. Everyone is super helpful and willing to work with you; you want 5 pounds of bacon, but wrapped in individual 1 pound packages? No problem. You want a roast or a cut of steak to be around 3 to 4 pounds? Again, no problem. I sometimes come in with lists of things and they make sure that I walk out with everything I came in looking for. Love, love, love this place. A must-stop for grilling season.

This place has been around for over 30 years, and my grandpa loves it. So, I promised him I would pick up Christmas dinner meats here. It was a zoo! Be sure to grab your number right away. It was hidden for me since there were so many people, but it's off to the left side, right when you enter. I found the boards with what was available very helpful, but it's also a good idea to look at the food in the case. I went with porkchops and bacon wrapped chicken stuffed with asparagus. Sadly, I learned that the chicken came from Wisconsin. I was under the impression that this was also a butcher shop. I don't think everything is local here. They do have a large selection of frozen and packaged foods. Some examples were cheese curds, lasagna, turkey wild rice meatloaf, tator tot hotdish, potatoes and meatballs. I over heard a comment to a worker about how delicious their dinner rolls were. Next time I would like to try the lefse and a few stuffed sausages.

Walking through the door of this butcher shop bends the time continuum. Your mind will automatically abandon the last few decades. I'm serious. There are the white floors, white walls, moisture residued meat cases, and the men behind the case in white aprons and white paper hats. (I think) This is what happens at Ready Meats! I'm no longer a single, college educated lady pulling up in a coupe. I'm a housewife with four kids bouncing in the back of my wood grained paneled station wagon. I'm stressing over the fact that dinner hasn't been prepped for my husband and I still have to go buy him a pack of cigarettes and martini olives. It doesn't matter! The butchers are "ready" to answer questions, make suggestions, and cut anything to your liking. The variety is vast with not only meat but frozen food options, condiments, potatoes/onions, seasonings, sauces, wood chips, charcoal, bread, and the very best pizza kits ever!! (Crust, cheese, toppings, sauce). Thank God it's 2017. My womb and my patience were never cut out for anything besides my own porterhouse and 2 door vehicles. I extend a curtsy to Ready Meats who have been serving not only housewives but everyone in my NE neighborhood since the 50's. They've got something special.

Ready Meats truely is a NE institution. Our family has been a loyal customer of Ready Meats for generations. They have so many excellent options to choose from that it's hard to decide. The Italian sausage, spaghetti sauce, and pizza kits are a must on each trip. And that's just for starters ...
