This is a nice butcher shop. Everything inside is neat and cleanly. The price list is written on a large chalk board to your left as you walk in the door. It is probably a good idea to start here. (I didnt see this and was a little surprised by the the price of the four 3/4 inch ribeyes I ordered, but that was my own fault.) They have a wide selection of sauces and even carry some charcoal and wood. Youll likely have some time to browse while they gather your order.

Their steak rubb is the best Ive found anywhere in the world. Even though I live in Hawaii now whenever I come to KY to visit family I always stock up. The one with garlic is my fav. Makes any steak better 🤙

After my first visit to this butcher, I will never buy my steaks anywhere else again! They were an incredible quality of meat and the price was more reasonable than I expected for a locally owned butcher. They also had a wide variety of smoked and packaged meats, squid ink pasta, fresh baked breads, desserts, and shelves of spices and sauces. The most memorable part of our visit was the service and the genuine appreciation they showed for their customers. We highly recommend you make a visit to our new local favorite place!

Always excellent, I drive 60 miles round trip just to shop there! The smoked pork chops are fantastic. The breakfast sausage is killer! The soft ball sirloin melts in your mouth! Every meat we have ever had there has been great. Rian and his staff are knowledgeable about there meats and are always good with the customers.

Without question, Rians Fatted Calf is the place to go for freshly prepared, locally sourced, and thoughtfully curated goods. The staff provides exceptional customer service. They are legitimately glad to see you, whether its your first visit or your 50th. You should check them out.

I love their selections of meat but went today and my wife went in, the worker behind the counter refused to put on a mask, my wife asked to please put on a mask and he said “! I don’t have one” she walked out and we won’t return, building is very small and no mask in there will be a breeding ground for COVID imo

Review №22

Wow! All I can say is, Wow!! This was my first time in the Fatted Calf Meat Market and I bought meat for a pot roast, hamburger, aged ham, and bison (out of bison at moment), local honey, and real maple syrup. I hurried home and pulled out my George Forman grill to make a cheese burger. I took a bite and seriously, it has been a long time since I had burger meat this good. I think we have forgotten what good meat tastes like because everything is commercialized. I put in my diary, Best burger since I cant remember when! I will be back.

THE.BEST.EVER! NOTHING BAD TO SAY AT ALL AND I AM VERY VERY VERY PICKY ABOUT MY FOOD AND THE QUALITY OF IT. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS AMAZING BUT NOT NEARLY AS GOOD AS THE QUALITY OF THEIR FOOD. THAT SAY A LOT ABOUT THEIR FOOD BC THE PEOPLE WHO WORK THERE WERE AS KIND AND HELPFULThis review was posted over a year and a half ago!!!!THIS review is from today November 5, 2020. I got the number from Google and they took Rians COMPLETELY out of the name so I dont know if there was a change in management or if Google messed up but if there was a change in management, IT completely showed. I called about pre-ordering a turkey for Thanksgiving and they didnt even know what they were taking orders for. I felt as if I was calling an auto body shop run by kindergartners who had no idea how to sharpen a crayon without getting a paper cut when all I wanted was to order a turducken! They need to bring Rians back BEFORE the holidays PLEASE!!!!

The bacon burgers are amazing! I dont care for burgers at all but the wife and kids love them. I have to admit tho these burgers turned out great and I even enjoyed them veey much. Best burger I have ever had cooked at home maybe. I also, got some of the chocolate milk and my son really likes it. It is very thick and chocolatey. Will definitely be a return customer.

Fantastic local place with a good selection. Great fresh seafood that defies what you might expect for a landlocked state. Amazing service. Local eggs and milk. Skip the crappy big box stores and go here. The only disappointment is that they arent open by appointment.

I dont like how they do business here. I used to buy JDs milk and cream here until I found out that its way cheaper everywhere else that Ive bought it at. They also dont refund your deposits when you return the bottle like theyre supposed to. Jimmy Diemers has the milk way cheaper and they are honest and actually pay you your deposit back on the bottle.

Review №73

This IS MY ONLY PLACE for beef....and.....chicken.....and pork chops.....and thick cut bacon.....and ribeye aged steaks....and farm fresh eggs.....and some seafood....AND ALABAMA WHITE BBQ SAUCE....seriously, I love these guys...I see you whiners talking about Deemers doing milk bottle deposits and cheaper meat at chain stores/market...FYI-did you know Walmart outsources 50% of their meat from M-E-X-I-C-O.??? Ever bought Mexican meat (bet you did and didnt know it)? I have...in Mexico...not the best. Fatted Calf is a local butcher that uses local source products...they volunteer and help the community they live in. Always helpful, polite, friendly...only the best quality. I come in Friday before Super Bowl, might need 50 chicken quarters...they say NO PROBLEM JOE, well have me ready...I come in Saturday, they are packed up and ready to go. Reasonable prices..great quality...made myself hungry writing this. Going tomorrow for a couple dozen eggs, 2 lbs thick cut bacon, 4 or 5 center cut 1 pork chops, some bacon-cheeseburger patties for my nephews and some wild Texas BBQ Sauce...so there! One thing..your parking ....is....well...challenging...lol
