Well beyond expectations will visit every week best bacon and sausage I ever tasted. Nothing left to say

If you need whole animal processed or fresh cuts for the week I recommend heading down to the butcher shop and picking up some vittles. Fresh cut, locally processed meat (sausage) and locally family owned and works read more

See all

Amazing selection and you know where your meat truly comes from. Friendly staff! Nice selection of accessory products.

Great prices, great selection, and fantastic quality. It's a little small though, so be careful entering if it looks busy or you're claustrophobic in any way. read more

Best sausage around! The other meats are good and reasonably priced considering the cost of meat these day. I have always gone for the sausage foremost . read more

Their meat products are fresh and very tasty. Butchering is packaged nicely. They package and label the meat well. They portion mostly how you ask them to. read more

Not terribly convenient. Pretty much out in the middle of nowhere. Big selection of pork and beef. Maybe I just tried the wrong stuff. I wasn't impressed with the beef. Prices are ok but both choices, top round steak and beef ribs were tougher than I expected. read more

Top quality fresh meats!! Some of the best bacon you can buy and the steaks are delicious!! Worth the short drive!! read more

Very tasty, quality, home-made country sausage. The "hot" version lives up to its name, so we like to mix the two and get some of the heat, without being overwhelmed. They have a small but full butcher case and assorted cheeses and other pantry goods. Worth the drive out into the county if you're looking for quality meats. read more

Best meat EVER! the bacon, spicy sausage, and sirloin steak is our go to. We refuse to buy meat anywhere else. Customer service is phenomenal! love the people, the place, the products, and prices. Cruse can't be beat. read more

The best sausage! Really good liver mush! If you like sausage and liver mush go here, not the grocery store. They call liver mush Cruse's Pudding. All of there meats are really good! read more

A little disappointed, I put in a specialty order and they said they would get it processed on Monday ready to pick up on Tuesday. I was sending someone out there to pick up the order and hadn't heard from them. So I called and they hadn't done the order. I had to call my pickup person and tell them to turn around and come back. Man, that was disappointing, with the reviews I read they were suppose to be good. People just forget that they only get 1 first impression. I was looking for a good dependable local meat processor for a restaurant concept.. Oh well. I'll have to look elsewhere I suppose. read more

Processed two deer, good quality ground venison as well a steaks. This was my first time using Cruse and many only issue was cost, twice the cost of other processing facilities in the surrounding area. read more

DO NOT BUY YOUR MEAT ANYPLACE ELSE, THIS PLACE IS SIMPLY THE BEST.....PERIOD. The owner Max Cruse is a top butcher and knows his stuff the meats are of top quality and melt in your mouth, I come from a long line of butchers in my family and I am telling you it is worth the trip. read more

I have taken 4 steers and 4 hogs to Cruse meats, Nothing but good things to say. We have two more hogs to take this fall look for an update. The Butcher shop is very well stocked. Update, the least 4 hogs were very large, I ask to have the shaved and not skinned, not a problem. I got tons of fat back. We are taking 3 this week, I will post photos of the end product. Location has an ATM. Which I think is crazy. read more

I've been going to Cruises just about all my life! I absolutely love everything I've ever gotten there!! Their sausage is the absolutely the best I've ever had in my entire life! Bar none! Their hamburger is awesome! It's the real deal! Their steaks are amazing to say the least! Thick cut bacon! Biscuits oh my goodness to good!!!!! read more

This is the second time I've taken a cow to be processed. The first time in 2016 the older man was very rude and not helpful as I was not familiar with the cut list. I had never done this before and he was not willing to be helpful so I had to wing it and hope for the best. The meat/order came out fine however I did learn how I wanted the size of the cuts for the next time as I had to find out for myself with no help from the old man. This second time in 2018 a nice Latino man helped me place the order and was helpful with specifications with the cut list. However when it came time to pick up my order the grandson of the old man helped me and he was rude! I guess the tradition carries on? :( The quality of the order so far, is I am finding a lot of small pieces of bone in my ground hamburger. I'm not sure how the rest will fair as I have hundreds of pounds of meat but so far out of just a few of the hamburger packs there are hard pieces of bone which is hard on my teeth and hoping I will not break a tooth when I bite into them. I'm very displeased with the customer service and the lack of friendly helpfulness. I'm spending a lot of money for the services I'm receiving and manners and politeness go a long way. I hope I can find a different processing plant. I will take my business else where. read more

I brought in a very carefully raised grass-fed steer for processing for our family consumption. On the plus side there was a good long 2-week hanging period, and the meat seems well vacuum-sealed. The reason for the poor rating is the poor communication over the cut list. I was not given time to go over the cut list face-to-face when I brought the steer in and apparently much was lost in the phone conversation. I had very specifically requested certain parts and cuts (like heart, tongue and Korean-style short ribs) that are perhaps a little out of the ordinary. They were not written down on the cut list and I did not get them. It seems they just cut the way it is "normally" done, with lots of ground beef and stew meat. I had previously used Mays Meats in Taylorsville and will be going back to them for the next steer. read more

I called this place to see about buying organ meats/offal that I can't otherwise find in the grocery store. The man on the phone was rude, difficult to understand, and unwilling to work with me. He said he didn't have time to mess with organ meats (even though he told me they butcher three days a week). After multiple times of trying to work out a solution, he hung up on me! I was completely shocked and disappointed. Very poor customer service! read more
