Employees are knowledgeable and helpful when making selections! Good product. Good location!

Always excellent! We're bought steaks many times & the quality never disappoints. This weekend it's ground chuck for burgers on the grill. Fantastic! read more

Absolutely love this butcher shop! Decent prices and really good quality. They usually have flank steak in stock which is somewhat difficult to find at grocery stores. I also love making beef jerky and found that if you call them during the week that they will cut as much as you want for pickup. Consistent thickness is key and they do a good job for a minimal up charge. They also sell potatoes for baking, some sauces/spices but the main attraction is their meat case! Everything from chicken breasts to pork chops to damn near every cut of beef they have has been good. Can't say enough about this place They do charge a fee to use a credit card, but debit cards and cash are the same price. Not a big deal, just something to note. read more

Love Dons. Their fresh cut meats are more flavorful than local grocers. Price reasonable and service is great.

My husband gets steaks here. They're always great and good prices. He tells me the staff is very friendly. Would recommend if you're looking for fresh meat on the south side. read more

I was in search for a Meat Shop on a Saturday to pick up some lamb chops for Mother's Day dinner. Upon searching local I discovered Don's Butcher Shop. I was greeted with a warm welcome and the butchers behind the glass asked what I was looking for. The showed me the different lamb chop options they had and even offered to cut it up since there was a bone. They wrapped it up for me and I went to check out. The lady at the register was so nice and helpful. The shop itself was very neat and organized. I will definitely make this my main butcher shop for my meats in the future read more

Sunday I went to Don's butcher shop to get the dogs some bones since they've been so good. While I was there the guy told me they had some chopped up chicken for dogs. He said they started making it because people were telling them they should make some dog treats. So I bought 2 containers thinking it would be good to boil and purée to put Suzies meds in. Today I boiled the chopped chicken, After cooking about 20min I was stirring it and found pieces of plastic in it, not just one small piece but a lot. Now I don't want the stew meat I bought there and glad I checked the bones before giving them to the dogs. I'll never buy anything from here again that's for sure... not a good first impression!! The pictures aren't even all I found, I just stopped looking and threw it out. I'm concerned about the dogs that had eaten this stuff. read more

Don's Butcher shop is the only place I'll get my steaks from. They have the TAMAHAWK steak! It's huge and picture perfect for grilling. They only let 7 people at a time into the store and their face mask policy is awesome. It's so clean and everyone is so nice. The quality of meat is on point. I would never shop anywhere else. They also have all the staples; hamburger, pork chops, filet mignon, Amish chicken, etc. There's a small pantry area with steak sauce, seasoning's, and potatoes. Don's was recommended to me by a friend who does grilling competitions and says he'll only use their brisket. I can see why all the meat loving guys like Don's. Their cuts of meat are far superior to your Kroger and Meijer variety and priced about the same. If you follow them on Facebook you might be able to catch the flash sales they have in the family area like $1.99 hamburger or .99 chicken. Love Don's! I'm definitely a lifer customer. read more

Don has been a meat cutter for 40 years and decided to open his own shop. With the help from his wife Betty and daughter Lynn he has finally made his dream a reality. They only deal usda beef from all over the Midwest mostly Indiana, Illinois, and Ohio. They do all of there own cutting and grinding in house. The ground beef is made fresh everyday. Anything from the previous day is discounted and put in the back freezer to purchase. Anything left from that is donated to gleaners food bank.The ground beef is exactly what it says it is they NEVER add fat to the grinds! All of the pork comes from a local farmer in New Delphi, Indiana except for the cured or smoked items. They make there own sausage mixes by cutting the shoulder and loin ends, adding spices and then doing the grinding. They get old fashion Amish Chickens whole and break them down in the shop. NO hormones or antibiotics. The boneless skinless breast are the exception. They're regular commercial chicken no hormones no antibiotic. You can also call ahead to place meat orders or if you want a variety pack just call 24 hours in advance. This is truly a hidden gem a hometown family business. read more

Called to ask about getting some fresh side cut and the lady was EXTREMELY rude...told me that they don't have a meat slicer. Really? You're a butcher shop with NO MEAT SLICER?? LMAO! (Truth be told it's probably the same product that sells to Kroger or Walmart and that's why they don't need a slicer.) Then she went on to explain how (Don, presumably) works long hours and doesn't have time "He works at 5am and sometimes doesn't get home until 2pm!" with an indignant tone (as far as I know that's a normal full 8 hour day? Awwww) like it's our fault he has to work? We get it....you want to give the bare minimum, while charging premium prices. I spoke with "Don" around 2 years ago maybe...after they first opened and he was really rude also. Woof. read more

Neighborhood butcher. Great beef and pork selections. Price OK. Quality of meet and service outstanding!

My family and I have been purchasing meat from Don's for several years now. We live way up on the North side, but still drive down to the South side for beef and pork, because Don's has the best quality for the best value. They have some of the best bacon we've ever had and they're around the same price (or sometimes less) than your run-of-the-mill grocery store bacon. We usually buy 4-8 pounds at a time. We've also had good chops here. The beef here is also fantastic. When we buy steaks to cook at home, we prefer going to a local butcher to get better quality cuts. We've bought porterhouses, t-bones, and ribeyes. The porterhouses and ribeyes are always great. The t-bones sometimes are a little dry and I'm not sure why compared to the full porterhouses. My favorite though is my annual Christmas prime rib roast. The price is below average for most rib roasts, but definitely premium quality beef. If you ever want a prime rib for the holidays - make sure to pre-order shortly after Thanksgiving. The meat is juicy, tender, and flavorful. Yes, you're still going to drop a decent chunk of changes for one of those rib roasts, but you get what you paid for ($15.99/lb was the price for 2021). Don's has made repeat customers out of us, and I don't foresee that changing anytime soon. read more

They provided good customer service to me and my daughter. The butcher that day was a fellow Jeep owner. My daughter and I both enjoyed visiting and will be back weekly now for our Filet fix . I will be back for the meat quality and she will be back for the free lollipop. Thank you. read more

I went to Don's for the first time recently and liked it a lot. I wanted to get a steak for a special occasion and ended up getting a huge tomahawk ribeye. It was definitely a showstopper of a steak. It was very tasty and I thought the price was fair. The other meat behind the counter looked really good too. They had some family packs for sale at the end and a few grocery items. The service was fast and helpful. I'll be back for when I want something special. read more

Went to Don's for the first time. Usually get ribeye steak only. They were out so I got a new York strip. WOW!! Unbelievably good. Tender, juicy and great flavor. Will definitely be back real soon. read more

I love the friendliness, and the availability of differnt cuts of meat. They are also willing to educate you on different cuts of meat. Quick & easy place to get quality meat at a very fair price. read more

I've only been here once, so I wouldn't put too much weight on this experience. I got 4 porterhouses; The person who served me asked if I was going to Ethan tonight and I said probably not till the next day or even after that because I wasn't sure who was coming over that weekend. When I did get to them the next day one of them was quite questionable in quality it was soft and mushy whereas the rest of the meat was quite good I would say. I just think you should keep an eye on them unless you've built a relationship. read more

Happened upon Don's while killing some time waiting for stores to open, since it was early they were closed as well. About a week later, we visited the shopping center again and decided to head into Don's to check it out. We are thrilled we did! The employees were so helpful and informative, telling us where the meats were from and how they do business. They really couldn't have been nicer. Delicious looking meats, clean store and great prices. Our local meat shop closed recently and although this one is across town, it's a huge improvement from big box store or chain grocery store meats which nowadays is questionable at best. We purchased only a couple steaks and I'm happy to report that they were wonderful, both tender and flavorful! We plan on returning once our freezer is close to empty to stock it again, this time from Don's. read more

Great butcher shop! The staff is always friendly and helpful. They have great deals daily on all their meats and their meats are so much better than even the organic store brands. Do yourself a favor and try their ground sirloin for your next burgers on the grill! read more

We have been trying to find a good rump roast for years-well we found it! Thank you, thank you!!! I wanted a special day for my husband who loves rump roast! This is by far the best!!!! read more

Hi all! If you're a southsider and are looking for a local butcher, this is your man. The quality is excellent. We go there 3-5 times a week. I just had their smoked pork chops on the grill last weekend and they were amazing! All of the steaks have been incredible and their bacon is great too. We buy it in bulk for some extra savings and vacuum seal it! They are such nice people and they are open 7 Days a week! read more

This place is awesome! I come here for all of my meat purchases, from pork chops to tomahawk steaks to ribeye roasts. Great prices and incredibly nice and educated staff. Staff is very good at educating you on the anatomy of pork, beef, etc so you know what you're buying. If you don't see something specific that you want, you can always ask and they'll almost always provide. I always recommend Don's to anyone looking for a quality butcher on the south side. read more

Don's Butcher Shop - Tomahawk from Don's - Butcher Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

I went here for the first time and everyone was so helpful and nice. The meat is very high quality. The steaks we purchased were delicious.

Not bad, just nothing exciting. It's a standard no flair meat counter in a strip mall.

This is the only place I ever buy meat anymore. The service is excellent, and the meat is far better than any grocery! I've never had a complaint with anything I've bought, and the prices are the same or cheaper than the meat I used to by at the grocery. They have even gone out of the way to cut me fresh meat from the back if the stock in the counter wasn't enough for my order. read more

Love everything we have bought here. The meat is high quality and you can tell when you cook with it. Service is nice too. I love having a true butcher shop close by. read more

This place is the best! Fresh cut meats daily. They care about their customers and get to know you and remember what you like. They go above and beyond and we hope enough people will shop this mom & pop to keep them here. read more

First visit but won't be my last. Just made chili with the ground beef we bought. Really lean and a great flavor. Fresh is always best. The shop is clean, super friendly employees and good selections. read more

Wife works at St.francis saw Don's decided to try out. Bought 2 pounds bacon, 2 sirloins and a rib eye. Paid a PREMIUM price for this meat. Bacon was good. Sirloins were very tough and I mean tough cooked medium and we gave up after a few bites and gave to the dogs. I like ribeye steaks... but not these... tough and tasted funny... gave to dogs also....so 55.00 for a dog snack!!! Before visiting Dons check out the yelp board of health violations too... read more

My fiancé and I come here about once every two weeks and spend about $100-$130 and we always leave with amazing, fresh meats, pork, and chicken. We divide everything up and put out what I will be using over the next few days to cook with and freeze the rest until I use it. The crew there are so so friendly and down to earth. Yesterday, I went in about 45 minutes before they closed and both of the gentlemen in there were so kind and helpful. I ended up getting about $115 worth of food but turns out I was like $4 short so the older man ringing me up actually took money out of his own pocket and covered what I couldn't. I was so shocked and amazed! I will keep coming back for as long as I live around here. Thank you guys sooo much for all you do!! read more

This place has some really good cuts. Have only had steaks and hamburger, but they were superb!

I bought a rib roast from Don's for Christmas dinner for my family. It was a fantastic roast, very juicy, tender and so flavorful. My daughter said it was better than a restaurant's. Will be getting my meats from Don's in the future. Definitely recommend! read more

Can't say enough good things about Don's! Try the smoked pork chops...if they have them in stock.

Has ruined grocery store beef for my family. Love the ground sirloin for burgers! Would recommend

Don's provides the best of everything. Beef, Pork, or Chicken it doesn't matter because it's always top quality. The peppered bacon is to die for, I must be addicted because I get it every time its available. The T-Bone or Porterhouse steaks are always a good choice and are cost effective for a great meal. I even had round steak custom ordered and cut thin to make a natural beef jerky at home without the additives. Don, Betty, and daughter Lynn will take care of you just like your part of the family. read more
