Great beef jerky and exceptionally nice people. I would go back if I lived anywhere near Calgary

We have had roasts from the major chains, Costco....and this one beat them all, flavour, cut with a fork, melt in your mouth delicious!!! read more

Calgary Meats & Deli - The grand finale!! Perfect roast, pasta and home made sourdough jalapeño bread!! - Delis Near Me - Calgary, Alberta

The staff at Calgary Meats & Deli were very helpful and made sure that I did not have to worry about my large order. They called to assure me it was ordered and then again when it arrived. Sound advice was given as well. So grateful for their superb service and prices. The quality of the product was excellent. Thank you, Leslie read more

Calgary Meats is a small butcher shop off Edmonton trail near downtown. There isn't a large selection of fresh meats to choose from like you might find at Bonton Meat Market or at a Crossroads. Still the frozen selection of meats is quite large and the prices are reasonable. Given how important it is to have meat in your diet and what a difference good meat makes I'm always looking for places I can find these good options. I really love a well done liver pâté so that I can dip bell pepper into them as a snack. This shop has a nice selection of fresh made pâtés. My favourite is the wild boar. They also have this large shelf of sauces. It's a sight to be seen as I have OCD and they usually have it perfectly stocked so I can stare at it and feel like all is good in the world for a small period of time. Or if it's you; maybe you could look through them and pick one to buy and use. It's your money Every time I've gone the service has been great. Whoever is behind the counter welcomes you and makes suggestions without seeming pushy. The laid back atmosphere with the smiles and care made us feel at home. I'd go out of my way to visit this little shop. I suggest you give it a visit and decide for yourself. As one last note and a little bonus about the shop; they have an app that is only for their shop. You can use this app every time you shop their to collect points towards money off on your purchase. The pints are actually very fair and easy to reach. Plus the app is easier to carry than a card in your wallet with s thousand other cards. I love that this small shop took the time too get this made for their customers. More stores should do that. read more

See all

When you enter this deli all you can smell is fresh smoked meat, it reminds me of the smokehouses in Old Crow, Yukon where you enter and all you smell is fresh caribou meat. This place is really clean, has nice visuals and the gal working there is really friendly. The counter showcase displays all the nice cuts from bison to beef, pork and elk. The standup freezer carries the duck and poultry products. The cuts look lean and nice and red plus the prices seem really reasonable. If you are on Edmonton Trail this is an easy turn for meating! read more

No preservatives, hormone free, natural goodness. Don't get the turkey jerky, I want it all to myself. Meat is pricier than in a generic grocery store, but it is worth it, you can taste the difference. The employees are very knowledgeable and will give you tons of information about the meat if you ask. read more

Wow, This place is amazing! Came here for our first time and purchased a meat pack for $120. The quality of the meat is great! No preservatives, hormone free and all natural! The price is perfect. for $120 we received: 3 pounds of Alberta Sirloin Steak 3 pounds of pork chops 3 pounds of boneless chicken breast 5 home made smokies 5 beef sirloin pattys and a home made sausage. Like i said the meat is amazing its fresh and tastes great! I am for sure a repeat customer. read more

I went to Calgary meats to get soup bones for my big dog. I mentioned that I have two tiny chihuahuas that I can't find bones for as they are so small. The staff was kind enough to cut down a large bone into 8 small pieces which my dogs are able to handle and thoroughly enjoyed. The shop has a very good variety of items and some exclusive meat sticks and/or jerkies. I will definitely return and do recommend them for their service. read more

I've been going to this little deli for almost 20 years. It's still as great as it was the first time I stepped through the door. Yes, the smell of smoked meat envelopes you when you walk in. But to me, it's heavenly. Seriously, who doesn't love that smell? It's like saying you don't like bacon. We all know bacon makes everything better. And this place does have bacon, although I've never bought any here. What I have bought and consider the best on the planet, is their homemade beef jerky. Whatever kind of seasoning they use just makes my mouth water. If you can snag some made fresh that day, it's absolutely incredible. I now drive all across town just for some jerky. They make a number of varieties including turkey, beef, and buffalo. All so tasty! I'd often stop in to grab a chicken (or veal) cordon blue to make for supper. They are ready to just pop in the oven and cook. And oh are they good! Tender chicken with a good helping of cheese and ham inside. I've served these to guests and everyone agreed they were like homemade, which they are, just not by me. I've tried their bison steaks, sausage, and a number of other meat choices. Their homemade perogies are almost as good as Grandma makes. Everything here was top quality. Over the years, Calgary Meats and Deli have expanded the selection of items they sell to include a variety of meats (including wild meat) and fish, perogies, deli meats, and a whole bunch of sauces and condiments. The staff here is always so friendly. Since I've been a customer here for so long, I have dealt with the parents who own the store and both their son & daughter. Everyone is so nice and helpful. If there's something you don't see out front, they will go to the back and slice you up whatever it is you want. They will get you whatever cut of meat you're looking for and trust me, it'll be good. I can honestly that I've never had a bad experience here and for that, I hope to keep returning for another 20 years. read more

Had a very good quality new yorks and a t-bone. The price was more than reasonable and way lower than in the stores.

This is the best butcher shop in Calgary. Fantastic quality, amazing service, and a bit of everything for all needs. The value in their meat packs has you leaving with high quality and more than you'd get elsewhere. I never go anywhere else. read more

Great meat shop. Fantastic service. Very knowledgeable staff. Great selection of meats.

Incredible customer service and great value. I was able to get local products and in house made processed meats (sausage, jerky) without any garbage ingredients. I will definitely be back! read more

Amazing quality (way better than grocery store) and amazing personalized service. Highly recommend Calgary Meats.

My family have been/were very long term customers but I think it came under new management or ? a couple of years ago. Sadly, this iconic name's quality and service has slipped to less than you would expect at any grocery chain To be fair, some prepared items, like chicken cordon bleu, a narrow selection of fresh cuts and smoked meats are still ok but hey are also in the same spot they were in 1989. As well, sadly, don't expect the friendly, trustworthy neighborhood butcher. The place survives on high traffic, not return traffic. read more
