A friend told me about Brecht's Meats in Lake Helen about a year ago. My husband and I went there…read moreone Saturday morning and we were delighted to find a real butcher shop, like I had not seen since the early 70's, It is family owned and operated. Monica is a third generation butcher. The shop has the best boneless, skinless chicken breasts I have ever eaten. The shop makes all of their own hot dogs and bratwursts. You need to call ahead to see if she has them in stock. Lake Helen is a lovely small town, so take the time to make the trip to visit a historic Florida town and stop at Brecht's to sample her meats.

It is a small shop and gives a cluttered feel. The one cash register just adds to the claustrophobic feel, kind of thrown in the center of a small room. Prices are either competitive or high, but to be fair, the quality of the meat is definitely there and they make their own sausages and grind their own ground beef in house. In a corner, kind of obscured by shadows is their deli where you can get your cold cuts or have a sandwich made for you. They also have pre-made dinners for you to bring home. They also offer sauces and spices. Some of the spices also bear the name of Ray's Quality Meats. They either make them themselves (or just private label them). I also commend them on their longevity especially considering they ate on Route 1 in a part of Ormond Beach where many of the businesses stay closed with the exception of Bike Week and Biketoberfest. The rest of the year it is more akin to a ghost town than a community. Fifty years is a long time to be in business. But with a quality product served in a friendly and professional manner, it is not only easy to see why Ray's Quality Meats has been around so long, but you find yourself cheering for them to last another fifty years or better.

This shop is very clean and organized which is a compliment to the staff, all the meats are beautifully displayed and trimmed nicely and it's always nice when you can hand pick the cuts you want. We picked up some beautiful New York Strips after being given a fresh cooked sample before making the purchase, we also picked up some baby back ribs and a fresh cut skin-on chicken breast which cooked up so moist and tender. It's always nice to shop at locally owned businesses where their success relies on their reputation of quality and customer service, fair and competitive prices and they stand behind what they sell, this is definitely a meat shop you'll want to checkout...

However, once we placed the order and saw how delicious everything looked. We felt so much better. And then we tried out fish and chips, fried shrimp, boiled eggs ( the English fried version ). All of those plates were delicious and sufficient for our group of 3 adults and two small kids to share. Along with a side of chicken wings that went along well with their tasty hot sauce . The service was good and friendly. They claimed it was as authentic as you could eat English food. Loved how calmed it was at that time. Perfect for family gatherings of all ages. Great decor and they are definitely ready for the upcoming World Cup nice tv screen

There's spots for you to sit, and the parking lot is a decent size. I guess I just wish there were high chairs but we make it work! I would return if I'm in the area again.

Every menu item has some type/form of waygu in it. From American staples like burgers and hotdogs to Asian favorites like wontons and lumpia. There's a variety of menu options to choose from including breakfast items. Palm Beach Meats also has retail selling meat, local food products and wine. After much deliberation, we ordered the Australian waygu filet sando, Australian waygu strip sando, waygu chili cheese hot dog, and the Japanese cream brulee cream sando. Everything was delicious, however the standouts were the filet sando and the cream brulee sando (employee's recommendation-no notes!). We sat at the bar and the employees we were chatting with were really nice and easy to talk to, and happy to share what their favorite menu items were. Our time was enjoyable and we will return and recommend to others!

Not the best I've ever had, but it definitely did the job while we enjoyed the night. For food, I had the Caesar salad and it was actually really good. The chicken was juicy with a nice crisp to it, which made the whole dish come together perfectly. Overall, it was a great spot for a casual night out with friends. Good vibes, good food, and a comfortable atmosphere to just enjoy the moment. I'd definitely come back.
