I Love, Love, Love this place! They have a variety of meats to choose from. Chicken, beef, pork, goat, lamb, various kinds of fish and other seafood. They have a large selection of spices and cooking oils and lard. They have meats already cut for tacos, and stews that you can scoop whatever quantity you need into a bag and you can have any meat you buy professionally cut by one of the butchers. Very reasonably priced also. It is surprisingly very clean and well organized. Very impressive!The staff is very friendly and they go out of their way to help you with anything you need. Excellent Customer Service!!! Lots of smiles and great attitudes. They even help you take your purchases to your car. If you ever get the chance to visit this place, YOU WILL BE HOOKED!

Nice variety of meat and fish products. Going to this store is like playing a lottery, something new all the time. The management is very attractive to your need. I enjoy visiting this store.

This store was 32 degrees, which is the same as shopping in a walk-in freezer, for an hour or more. From the entry door, the meat looked fresh. The workers had on. Layers of clothes and long white outside garmens. The outside temperature was 80 degrees and I had on a short sleeve shirt. The worse part about this is, I called twice and was not told about this. That has to be a very unhealthy situation.

Nice large selections of meat, fresh and frozen, even parts of the animal you wouldnt think people would eat. In the other store of theirs next door, you can get the whole animal cut in half, or any other way you want it. Competitive prices, most of the time better than the big box grocery stores. Wear a coat. Youre pretty much walking into a freezer. Bonobotique!

I cant say enough about this butcher shop, only that we as consumers should patronize this astablishment as often as possible.In the years to come we will be wondering what happened when we dont see them anymore.You are doing great work Mr.Thomas. Thank you.

One of the best wholesale meat places Ive ever shopped at. This is a walk in meat store, very clean and all customers are issued plastic gloves because of covid restrictions. I highly recommend this place

There wasnt a line to get in like early in the pandemic. I love this meat market because theres a sink by the door before you actually walk in the market. You wash your hands and put on gloves before you actually go in the market. All of the meat is laid out so you could pick what and how much you want . If you are selective about the meat you buy, this is the place for you. I bought party wings only the flat pieces.

Review №32

Be careful of the real cheap coiled sausage. Once thawed you need to cook these immediately!!! Two times this year I let them thaw in my fridge (which is that for correct refrigerator temperature as I do have a thermometer in there) for a couple days and I got food poisoning. So you must cook them as soon. as they come out of the freezer. If they smell a little iffy, throw them out and do not take your chances. Ive gotten many other meat products from his place and thats the only thing Ive ever had food poisoning issues with. It is a clean place and they do a good job keeping it clean.

As soon as you pull up to the parking lot, you get a strong smell of a chicken farm. Once youre inside the store, the smell goes away.The stores temperature is at the temperature required for meat preservation, so its cold in there. Be prepared to wash your hands before you enter the store. They have a sink. Once you enter the meat section, you will see a lot of meat.You have to use plastic bags and gloves to grab the meats. Both the bags and gloves are provided to customers. Theyre located throughout the store. No one tells you that, though; I felt lost when I first visited: this was my only complaint.At the back of the store, they have two cutting tables where the meat cutters cut your meats to your liking. They take tips, so do what you think is best.Overall, they have a large selection of meats (pork, chicken, and beef). The prices are also slightly cheaper than Petes, Costco, and Tonys.

I love this place. Have been going for years. They have a slaughterhouse so everything you get is fresh. I like that they open early 6 a.m. and I can pick out how much meat I actually need without over doing it and checkout is pretty quick.

Review №41

This was my first time here. Prices are pretty fair, the quality of meat seems to be great as well. My only issue while visiting was while I was getting some steak from the butchers table. It seemed that the butcher was speaking past me in Spanish to another customer like I wasnt there. Though, once I finally got his undivided attention, he was very attentive and polite. Be prepared to wash your hands & only use their gloves when you enter. This is a great practice & another reason why I will continue to shop here.

The chicken and beef are good BUT don’t order the lamb or goat which is frozen and stale and extremely OLD. After thawing the meat is TERRIBLE. Don’t buy frozen meat from any wholesale place! It just means it’s not fresh! Chicken and beef are good prices and that’s it.

Review №68

Purchased 60 pounds of ground chuck for a hamburger lunch fundraiser at our Church. I was a little worried because it was bit more fatty than I would have liked. Making a patty out of it and cooking from fresh turned out to be difficult as the patties fell apart very easily. So I tried making patties and freezing them. Cooking them from frozen did the trick but cooking any more than four at a time on the grill causes a huge flair up because of the high fat content of the meat. But here is where it gets good! I received a ton of compliments stating how good the burgers were! A couple people even said it was the best burger they ever had! Even our priest and the school principal suggested that we do another one of these fundraisers. We do many fundraisers such as taco, pulled pork, pasta etc. and this one was highly recommended to be done again. We may look into a sausage lunch next time if I catch a good sale on some Italian sausage here. :)

Review №74

This is a retail store for a meat packing house. It sells mostly fresh meat. Beef, chicken, pork, lamb, goat even some fish. You are able to pick items such.as a whole pork loin and have it cut into individual chops or roasts. Exotic cuts like beef heads pig heads and snouts. Organ meats such as spleens hearts kidneys hooves of the various.animals.They even have fresh made sausages, bacon cold cuts cheeses in family size packages quite an experience. Remember to take a light jacket or heavy sweater for it is like a walk in cooler

Update 1/31/2019: That one lady is not there anymore which means I have a better relationship now. The place is packed with customers.Everyone else I have dealt with to buy meats went fine, but that one lady often sitting in the back counter was never helpful. Doesnt give me at any wholesale discounted price unlike other staff members do. If someone knows a different place to buy meats, please drop a line here. Of course I am grateful that I have been able to buy meat for resale from there, but I am genuinely not happy with it most recently.

This morning was my first time to come to Park Packing.. And I cant wait to go back. I traveled from Indiana to get the meat and it was well worth the hour and a half drive. The experience was awesome and so many helpful people! The cashier was very friendly (even at 6am!) :) I do have a question though if we were to order a whole pig, is it cheaper the more you order?

Well,guys,after all nice reviews i decide to drive 40 miles from home to buy a whole lamb! Staying in the freezer 30 min,buying lamb for $250 which is not the cheaper lamb i bought for the last 20 years...After that i go next door to buy chops and instentines and tripe- they carry only goats one,so i have to look somewhere else now...Not bad place at all but next time i will try another butcher store! Sorry!

Lots of open, raw meat. Cold inside. So be prepared if you have never been to a meat packer. You get to choose what you want yourself and have things cut special by a butcher. Steaks and roasts are usually prepackaged. Prices are usually cheaper than the grocery store.
