Acropolis Meats

We recently found this local independent butcher in the local non-touristy downtown area of Tarpon Springs! Life is good with fun unique cuts of fresh beef from a local butcher! We get the Acropolis Special Steak! Highly recommended! Tender! Marbled! Perfect! A nice lady customer at the store recommended it to us! Thanks! I just recommended it to a couple I met at the store!Preparation... coarse salt, lots of fresh cracked black pepper and tons of Lebanese spice mix. 3 minutes per side in a lightly oiled medium high heat preheated cast iron skilled. Bam! Rest for 5 minutes and medium steak rare life is very good!

My friend, who lives in Tarpon Springs, has been boycotting Publix, and ends up finding some neat places to get grocery. This is one of them. Great and personalized service as you expect from someone who has been in the neighborhood for years and know where their products come from and quality meat. They have house made sausages, and a small selection of grocery such as cheese, beans, pasta... specializing in Greek products, as you may expect in Tarpon Springs. Even some basic produce like tomatoes and onions. They don't display everything in the case, so ask if you don't see what you are looking for. And call ahead or go early if you really want something, they may run out.

Leslie and I searched for a local butcher shop that we could know personally and the service could beat the major corporate stores hands down. We wanted to know a butcher and support their family and they support ours with good quality meats and produce. We found our local butcher at Acropolis meats. Best service and quality foods.

Great first experience going to Acropolis meats. Called the morning of to order some custom thick cut pork chops for smoking. Really friendly, and put them aside for me to pickup later. Beautiful pieces of meat, inexpensive, and they have a ton of other options.Even saw a sign for oxtail!!

The stuffed chicken was fresh & super delicious. Great portion on the vegetables. My family loved it

I love this little meat market. It was recommended to me by a local in the area so I knew it was going to be enjoyable. It's small, packed full of Greek specialities likes teas, cheeses, noodles and of course meat. There is a secret cut of meat (I'm going to keep this one to myself) but if you can find out what it is, get it! So tender and reasonably priced. Selections are limited so get there early. If he runs out, he runs out. The butcher is no non sense but full of life and vigor. I love walking in the door and being greeted by him. In writing this review I realise it's been far too long since I've visited. I see a return trip in my future.

Went on an early morning quest for "Pork Belly"!I'd checked my local grocery chains, the big boxes with no luck or a sub prime product. Thinking I'd have to source this ingredient from far away specialty market, I started asking around. I was been told my local Greek market literally around the corner from home had exactly what I needed. I was greeted by the sweetest little Greek lady wielding a large butcher knife and an even bigger smile. The store had glass cases packed with tons of chicken, pork, beef, goat, cheeses. Shelves were full of imported pastas, olives, and dried spices. We talked about my BBQ project. She told me my method was almost the same as her fathers back in Greece. She cut and trimmed me a piece to order. I added a bulk pack of whole wheat barley and yellow lentils to my order and checked out. Don't expect isles of products and sophisticated check out system, it's a "local market ". With out question I was surprised with the selections of meats, cheeses and spices. Mostly though the prices were very reasonable.

I have stopped into Acropolis Meats several times when coming home from Fred Howard with my Service Dog, Kodiak. I am always met with a welcoming smile. We LOVE this place! It is truly a gem. The owner even takes care of my Service Dog ‍ You MUST try the chimichurri kebabs. They are packed with flavor and made with choice cut sirloin-- super tender! Don't just get one package.. you'll be sad when they're gone! If you want to wow your guests at the next summer barbecue, throw some of these babies on the grill!! No one will want to leave.. On second thought, maybe save them for Date Night

Acropolis is my go to butcher shop. I order my fresh turkeys from them every Thanksgiving. They have good meats and lunch meats, but my favorite is their Greek yogurt.

I first tried Acropolis meats earlier this year because I wasn't happy with what I found in the grocery stores. Everything I have tried has been very good. The staff is very helpful and the meats are great. We love their bacon too.
