Central Meats

First time in on a Saturday. The meat counter was very busy. The line moved but it took some time. Love being able to get special sausages, linguica, mild and hot Italian sausage in a long cord. They cook on the grill and serve so much better. Very friendly and respectful employees. Even though it was tough for the employees to walk around to replenish the open fridges with all the customers in their way, you only heard respectful "excuse me, thank you". Central meats always earns my five stars!

Awesome meat market ! Steaks and homemade sausages are great. Haven't tried the boudin yet but plan to soon

My mother is a school nurse for the city of Chesapeake. She drove 25min to get to central meats before they close at 5pm. She walked up to the meat counter and waited in line like everyone else. It's finally her turn and Kelly refuses to slice her steaks for her because "it's too late" and gave her a mess of attitude. They JUST helped the man in front of her. It was 4:40. Maybe update your hours or train your staff to do the job correctly. God forbid the working class tries to come after a long day and get their groceries. I've been a customer for over 15 years... After the way you treated my mother today I will never step foot in your business again.

Folks we have visited this store for maybe 25+ years and now we live more than a hour away and still make the trip ever other month or so. Even though we have another place closer - they can't beat Central Meats. The meats have always been outstanding. I'd recommend the Delmonico steaks if you're looking for a real treat. But really no mater if we bought pork, beef or chicken everything has been better then the chain supermarkets. I'd also suggest going online and getting a coupon for a buy one get one free of their BBQ. Saves you about $8 and then you can a heck of a BBQ meal one night. As for service: on the weekend or holiday week, it can be a bit chaotic but the staff do real good at getting folks through. It's been awhile but I have also had them process a few deer that I've harvested during the season. Alway seemed to be a fair price and with a quick turn around. So if you're looking for a real butcher shop with great products - go ahead a shop here. You won't be disappointed.

Great meats, great variety. Central meats seem to increase their culinary inventory more and more. I stop in my tracks with the variety of offerings sometimes. Spices that are hard to find with competitive prices. The butchers at the counter are always ready to assist and answer a question. I always know what I want when I shop here, and there is just so much more you walk out with! Reminds me of the butcher shops from New York dad always took me to, when buying a side of cow for our freezer.

Great options and decent prices. We purchased a tray of the whole hog pulled pork and it was $50 for 5 lbs and it was very tasty and tender. Also purchased lots of chicken quarters and thighs at good prices per pound. Looking forward to going back for some steaks this summer.

I stopped by Central Meats (aka Where's the BEEF) located at 1120 Kempsville Road in the heart of Chesapeake.They have a great selection of good quality beef, chicken, pork and many other items. I've been here many times and I've never had a bad experience.They also offer freezer stuffer deals in many different varieties for families of all sizes, at bargain prices.Check out Central Meats, you will be happy that you did and you can rest assured that you are supporting local businesses.

I've been going to central meats for almost 20 years now. The owner Richard is very helpful he has helped me pick out the right kind of seasoning to go with on beef,steaks, pork chops. I suggest everyone go there in person to see all the different sales they have.Thank You Richard.

My favorite place to shop for meats... hands down. The prices are reasonable. I never been to a butcher market that was this organized.

My perspective, these will always be the best wings in town for our family wing nights. The price has increased, but everyone's wings have gone up. These will remain my favorite and totally worth it!!!!!
