Not that another 1 star review will mean much but I was kicked out of the store today because I was parked in the disabled parking spot and was touching the "access aisle" which is the diagonal lines part of the space. I am disabled. I have disabled plates and drive an extremely large dually truck with a wide wheel base needed for my equipment and disability lift. This is part of the spot and the manager told me to leave because I am blocking the entrance. Keep in mind at least 2 carts could fit side by side in the space between the 2 vehicles in the handicapped spots. I don't have any other review of the place because I was not allowed to shop. read more

Brandon Meats & Market is a fantastic place for purchasing not only quality meats but also fresh fruits and vegetables. The prices are very reasonable and budget-friendly, making it a great option for everyday shopping. read more

Went last Sunday, it had been a while. Since we shopped here. This will be a weekly regular for us. We purchased two rib eye steaks, skirt steaks) churassco), pulled pork at the concession there. The skirt steaks wonderful and tender. The rib eyes butter tender. This our go to meat and produce place. I high recommend. Forget about the chain grocery stores here in town. Their meat and produce can't hold a candle to Brandon Meat market read more

I'm a male senior in my 70's. I've been shopping at Brandon Meats and Market for many years. It's the only place I get my meat from. You buy 5 lbs of chicken quarters and they give you 5 lbs free. Breasts, legs, and thighs get the same deal, only on a rotating basis. Chicken wings are fresh and cheaper than supermarkets. Based on the size of the breasts, I think the chickens are fed growth hormones. Some of the breasts are almost as big as a turkey's. Their meat selection is limited, but they have great steaks and roasts. I like the thick ribeyes. They have whole fish, and shrimp, headless and head on, as well as pork chops and ribs. Sometimes, they are baby backs, but usually not. The employees are all Hispanic and not always that friendly if you don't speak Spanish, but they will cut chicken wings in half for you, and basically do whatever you ask. The rest of the store is like a big Mom and Pop store. Prices for standard pantry items are similar to the big grocers, maybe a tad higher. They have a good frozen food selection for a small store and good produce, including some items you won't find at a normal supermarket. The deli usually has items on sale, and the standard prices are far below the supermarket prices. Black forest ham for $6.99 a lb for example. I'm probably one of the few non-Hispanics that shops there judging from the clientele I'm seen, but don't let that stop you. The savings are worth it. read more

Meats are a great deal. However, I mostly shop for produce & ethnic foods. Good selection, items not at other chain stores & good prices, even with the upturns. Been going for years, not as often lately for couple reasons. They seem to no longer advertise either via flyer or online. Last online ad was Sept 16th. Guess they no longer do sales or care for more biz. Also, they took out the deli counter. I like to make my list based on what is available, not as easily done anymore. read more

They changed the sizes of their T bone steak noooooooooooiooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. You can tell im not happy. But but? It doesn't affect my rating. They started bringing "Cowboy steak cuts" they are so freaking huuge!! $13-18 a pop! U can definitely feed two people with 1. Go to the pre cut meat section n they are hidden there. I gave it a gentle marinade over night and then went with the cold smoking technique. Took about 12 hours to get it to a medium rare window. I also bought a packet of round cuts at a good price. I love their meats best! This will always be my go to for beef. Meat is always tender n soft. Grills great n smokes phenomenally. I am happy that they are getting more traffic. Hopefully my hipping helps them. Staffs is always nice. They got "exotics" in the freezer area by the meats. Whole rabbit, quail, animal body parts like tung, cheeks, hearts etc. at the butchers theres great selection n cuts of pork. I have noticed that most people rather select from the butcher than the pre packaged stuff. I used to love their old cut size of the T bones. They not big anymore. I am happy with the cowboy cut. If ya ever want to have a "viking" dinner? Get those! read more

Very disappointed I went there for baby back ribs and first I was not greeted when I came in and there were 2 cashiers not helping anyone watch me walk in as we made eye contact. They didn't have baby back ribs only spare ribs and a lot of them, which is weird to only have one type of ribs. The associates in the meat department was just talking watching me search all them ribs until I asked them do they have baby back they said no what's out is what's out. I left and won't be back the selection is too small read more

If you looking for meat, they have deal in the store. I got beef flank steak only for $4.95 a pound for the special of the day. It has many types of beef and pork cut. The meat market serves hot deli such as empanadas, tacos, fried chicken and more. The price of those deli food are affordable. It has package deal. For is ok since the price is low no complaints. They do have the seating area if you decide to eat there. The veggies section just like normal supermarket and same as the can good and un perishable food. They do have special soft drinks. Some from drink still at original bottle packaging. This store just like typical supermarket but is local own. The advantage is the meat they have sold here. If you have huge party at your home and hosting a BBQ, this is a good place to purchase your meat. read more

Ordered a case of chicken hearts by phone meat guy couldn't give me a price. Asked how much when I went to pickup and was told $54.00. That is double what two other places locally charge. So I left. Store also didn't smell good. Placed order with other meat market and can pick up today for $26.00. Brandon Meats wants to charge actually more than double the price. Want a RIP OFF!! Never go there again. read more

The store is very clean and the employees willingness to help was amazing. Oxtails and Cajun peanuts were good.

Best meat prices that I have found anywhere near the Brandon area. Chicken breasts $1.29/lb (for 5lbs or more), tilapia filets $2.79/lb, beef cuts were varied but everything from shoulder to London broil was no comparison to Publix, Aldi, Costco etc. The packaged food is dominantly Spanish oriented but with Asian, Indian, and Caribbean aisles as well. The selection of spices and rice, on nearly every aisle is impressive. The only comparable stores in price and selection are some of the Asian markets in the Tampa area. Don't expect the level of service of a specialty meat or seafood store but the central location on SR 60 and prices make this store a great find. read more

If I could give Zero stars I would We moved to the Brandon 6 days ago and passed this place while exploring town and decided to stop a few days later. The young man behind the butcher case packed my ground beef with his bare hands - no gloves - and hands it to me. I was so taken back I at first I didn't know what to do. I just said I changed my mind. Requested a manager on the way out and reported our experience. In the midst of Covid-19 this young man should be trained better. Pandemic or not that is absolutely unacceptable. Very disappointed, the hunt for a meat market continues. read more

So disappointed. Ok the veggies and the dairy aisle are acceptable. The store is undergoing restorations. But stock carts blocking aisles is just sad. I went for the advertised meats. Ground meat (not BEEF) no changing gloves between the beef & chicken, But the worst part was the cock roaches on the meat that was about to be wrapped. My daughter saw them as I was being handed my meat and pointed them out. I said something, oh, ok. We said something about the roaches 3 times and all we got was "Thank you momma". I tried to make my meal with the meat that night. Needless to say, it went into the garbage and we had veggies that were scrubbed to death!!!!! read more

First time customer here, it's too bad that the rotten steaks I bought that said they were packaged the day I bought them (2 days ago) and while having the price I paid and also having the store name weren't enough for them to give me my money back or anything in place of it until I had those damn receipts. Dug through my trash got the receipt and took them back never buying from this nasty run down store again. Needs to be shut down. Take your business to quality meat market off of orient rd. NEVER have I ever had a problem there end everyone in there is SUPER friendly read more

Stumbled upon this market when I moved to the area and it is a must-stop now for meats. Chicken breasts are consistently $1.79/lb or less and they often have sales on different cuts of beef. The first week I went ribeye was on sale for $2.99/lb! The prices of the rest of the store are hit or miss, in my opinion. They often have what normal grocery stores do not, but they can be expensive. The employees are generally nice and helpful when trying to find items. The only problem I have with the store is the produce. That entire side of the store is a little dirty and some of the fruit looks old. read more

High hopes....dashed. In my never ending search to find a good butcher I stumbled in here recently. Not sure I even paused as I walked through the entire store, wanting to see something worth my visit. The meats? Forget about it. Didn't see anything interesting at all. The hot meals? Ugghh. I can't tell you exactly what looked so bad, because nothing was tabled, but I sure didn't see anything appetizing. Oh well. The search continues. read more

This is a little grocery store that also sells freshly made sandwiches. You can get a 12 inch Cuban Sandwich here for only 3.69 ! Plus, they will press it for you. Their gallons of Milk are always the lowest price around, and they sell locally made milk from a Manatee County Dairy that is as close to Organic as it gets. Of course, everything here is not always a good deal, but if you are a good shopper, you can save a lot of money shopping here, and be able to buy things that simply are not available at Publix and Winn Dixie. Things like Red Gold Ketchup, and Grace Hot Sauce from Jamaica can be found here, for instance. In the winter time, bring a jacket if shopping here, because all those coolers in a small size store makes it quite cold inside. But on the 95 degree outside summer days, it is "just right" inside the store. read more

Awesome prices. Good selection. Great place to hit around the holidays. Always friendly service in there. Store doubles as a market, lots of great produce. read more

Brandon Meats & Market - Grocery Near Me - Brandon, Florida

We came by to try a new meat market. We got the BBQ bundle (chicken leg Quarters, pork chops, two steaks, ground beef). The meat has been ok. The store is ok, the gentleman who helped us was very difficult to understand. We will continue to look around for a butcher. read more

I've been going here for 3 years. The price of meat and quality has gone down in the past year. They had good prices and good quality but I'm not sure what has happened in the past year. The staff are always helpful and friendly which is good. But meat fruit and veggies are not in the best of shape I can go to Bravo and find better quality that's not a good thing . read more

Best Meat Market I Been Too Will Not Go Anywhere Else For Meat The Meat Is Very Fresh Very Cheap Prices Also... Lunch Meat Is A Great Price read more

This place is FILTHY! The floors are filthy, the counter tops are Filthy - gave me the creeps! I checked every isle and the prices were higher than Publix for grocery items and the meat prices were on par with Winn Dixie. Not worth the trip to even look around certainly not worth getting sick t purchase anything from here. We won't be back read more

Nothing fancy. The place can lean towards dirty but prices are great and they often carry things other places don't. As they say, price sells! read more

Been going to Brandon Meats for almost 3yrs, being non-hispanic has not been an issue. The quality has gone down the toilet this last year. The butcher gives out great meat, but the meat counter is nasty and the meat packaged out are not "cooled" to anyone's standard. The store seams not to be cleaned very much so I now stay away. read more

The place is clean, and the meats are better quality and cheaper than Walmart's. The staff was friendly. So far, I'll come back and I recommend it. read more

Prices on meat were ok but the eggs grossed me out they were all pretty much rotten and the exp dates were erased... Bad oder coming from that area ...shame for you guys eraseing the dates thinking someone wont notice bleh read more

Unsavory experience. Had coupon from flyer advertising their various sandwiches one of which was a corned beef. When I tried to order it the staff was bewildered and began confering among themselves. Finally one of the staff nodded her head. By that time I didn't have any confidence in what they were doing, so I changed my order to a Cuban sandwich--which took forever to make. As I was waiting, I noticed that the store was not clean and the staff was quite unprofessional as they talked in Spanish while looking in my direction and snickering. Won't be going back. If I could give zero stars, I would. read more

I've shopped there several times. The reviews I've read on here that talk about cleanliness of the store are not accurate. Their business is mostly as a butcher shop and small grocery. So, if it smells like freshly cut meat, well, that's NORMAL for a butcher shop. The prices are very good. The staff is always friendly and helpful. And, the food is delicious. I don't know what else you could ask for. Their selection of produce is awesome. The quality is great and the prices are way lower than chain stores like Publix & Winn Dixie. Someone complained that the meat spoiled after 2 days. First, I kind of doubt it was only 2 days. But, this is organically processed meats without all the preservatives of chain store meats. If you don't plan to cook it the day of purchase or the next day, you should freeze it. If you are not used to purchasing meats from an organic butcher shop, I understand your frustration. But, you're wrong about the quality. The quality is excellent and if you handle it correctly, it lasts as long as any organically processed meat in a tropical climate. You shouldn't ding the store for your lack of knowledge on the products. If you have questions, ask one of the butchers there. They will be glad to help you out. read more
