Every time we make our way to downtown McKinney, stopping by this local gem has become one of our favorite traditions. This spot perfectly captures what a great meat market should be--full of character, packed with quality local products, and anchored by some of the best smash burgers around. The burgers are consistently incredible: perfectly crisped edges, juicy centers, and layered with just the right balance of flavors. You can tell there's real intention behind every ingredient. Beyond the food, the market itself adds to the experience. It's a celebration of local vendors and thoughtfully curated goods, making it just as fun to browse as it is to eat. There's an authenticity here that's hard to find--nothing feels generic. The atmosphere is relaxed, welcoming, and full of energy, especially in the heart of downtown. It's the kind of place that feels like a treat every time, whether you're bringing friends, family, or just enjoying a casual outing. If you're in downtown McKinney and want something that feels both elevated and genuinely local, this spot is an absolute must! read more

Hamm's Meat Market - Meat Shops Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Service is 1 Food is 5 That is my rationale for 3 review. Tried this place twice. I will say, the food is good and unique selection of frozen meats and menu items The customer service is not good! A young lady who works there (same person on both visits) is not very friendly! Not inviting with her personality. Rude and seems like customers are bothering her. I chalked it on my first visit as her having a bad day. Not going to judge her on first impression. We a have bad days. Went back for a second visit. She was on the phone with a customer taking an order and was rude and "huffed and puffed" when she got off the phone. While the customer "may" have been difficult, this was my second time seeing her "annoyed" and/or "rude". I grabbed three items from the freezer. Two items had no price tag. Another young lady took the two items and weighed them to place a price tag on them. She did not tell me what she was doing, yet I quickly figured out what she was doing as she grabbed the items without speaking to me. Even though she didn't communicate her actions, I shrugged it off. I was not bothered. Back to the original lady who has now ended her phone call. She begins to ring up my items and takes the label off of the third item, which already had a price tag of $17 (and change). Without saying anything g to me, she takes the tag off the item and rings up the item at $21 and continues adding the other items. Remember, she has said nothing to me as to why she did this AND remember, the item already had a price on it if $17. I stopped her and asked, "Why did you ring me up at a different/higher price?" Her response, "It's wagyu!" Still confused because it was already priced/tagged, I replied, "Ok. It already had a price and you just took it off and didn't say anything to me as to why you did what you did." "Well, it was labeled wrong!" "And how am I supposed to know that and how is that my fault? When I pulled it out of the freezer, it was labeled $17!" I then realized, she had assumed the young lady who weighed and put labels on the other two items had also put the label on this item. She continued, "We have some new employees and they have been labeling some items incorrectly." "So I'm am punished for your (company) mistakes? The label was already in the freezer on item for $17. If that is the price ($21), fine. At a MINIMUM, you could have given me the courtesy of telling me what you were doing instead of just taking it off and changing the price without saying anything to me!" She was quiet for a moment and then said, "If you don't want it, I can take it off. It's the price of the wagyu. There is nothing I can do!" "Yes. There is something you can do, because you just did it! (Making note she changed the price from $17 to $21) I would think you would honor your mistake, and allow the customer (me) the $17 price and inform me of the mistake. Regardless, I still want the wagyu, because I want to try it. That would be the proper way to handle that [situation]." She just looked at me and finished the transaction and asked if I wanted my receipt. Again, very rude interactions both times. I am struggling if I will ever go back. I like this place and want to support the local business. She has just rubbed me the wrong way, so I am jaded. Maybe if she isn't there next time, I will go inside. If she is there I might just leave. LOL read more

The trip tip sandwich was delicious- the Brie and steak combo was just what my palate needed. The service was great. Please note - parking is a challenge, during the midday hours, so plan accordingly. read more

The Bruce Almighty burger is what makes America, so great. Here's a burger with a melting pot of ingredients that's keeps you coming back bite after bite. Listen, a Jalapeño cheddar patty and Philly-style shaved meat with peppers & onions, sign me up. Add in Cheddar, Fried egg, and Avocado, with a side of fries and now I'm in so deep you'd think I'm a part of a cult or pyramid scheme. This burger was an experience, a sensational remembrance of what our founding fathers built this great country on. I'm grateful to be able to know a burger like this. My new found patriot of a burger, the best burger in McKinney, TX. Period. I'll be back to try everything else on the menu. read more

Hamm's Meat Market - Smash Burger / Fries! - Meat Shops Near Me - McKinney, Texas

Hamm's is the best meat market in North Texas. Things I like...The monthly meat subscription for $150 is a fantastic deal where you get $250 in meat included. Chef Hester has the AI recipe builder on the website that helps out a ton. The cheeseburgers are epic, too! The only negatives is they aren't open seven days per week!! read more

I know most people go to Hamms for the exceptional meat. However I love there Smashburgers! They are really juciy and flavorful. I found out about them last year and went so much that everyone knew me by name! The overall space is nice as well you can sit and eat while you are there or you can pick it up. The fries are amazing as well and I loved hearing about how they come up with meun items. Great team! read more

I actually work in McKinney and had heard of this place and finally decided to try one of the specials they had going on which was a veal parm sandwich and it was 10/10 starssssss i can't wait to go back and try more read more

You have to order the Wagyu Tri-Tip Sammy. If you don't know Tri-Tip is the equivalent to Texas Brisket. If you think Brisket is superior to all meats you are just wrong and I apologize you choose to be wrong. I said what I said. Get the Tri-Tip you will not be disappointed. read more

What a cool, little, locally owned spot. I got a double cheeseburger at the owners suggestion, it was excellent. I was shocked at how tasty it was. Limited seating so plan to sit outside. read more

Tried the smash burger, solid burger but the hype wasn't real for me as a burger enthusiast. The house made sausage tho.. DIVINEEEEEE. I got the Philly cheese steak bratwurst, it taste nothing like Philly to me but I enjoyed whatever flavor came through. It's not a strong powerful flavor just subtle but good. Their HUGE so that's always a plus. I've called a few times, no brisket queso ever, you just have to randomly catch it as they don't make it often. I had the spicy chicken salad, that was cool. Over all everything was solid. They have a ton of other items and I will continue to work my way through until I can taste that brisket queso!! read more

Visiting McKinney for the weekend, and popped into this place hoping they would make me a turkey sandwich. One of the best turkey sandwiches I've ever had! Fast service, extremely kind stuff, and a cool vibe inside. I wish I was staying long enough to pick up some meat! Thanks again! read more

Stopped by for the tri-tip & brie sandwich and pimento cheese steak. Both fantastic! Don't forget to nring home some steaks pr chops to grill up for dinner.. Next time you're in downtown McKinney, stop by! read more

THIS IS NOT JUST A MEAT MARKET! Yes, they have all the steaks, briskets, burgers, bacon, and chicken that you'd expect at a butcher that is all high quality and well priced. But they also have an amazing food menu for great lunch spot. AND, they have a supper club (@mckinney_supperclub to see how stunning and elegant these dishes are)! AND, they have heat and eat prepared meals like frozen smoked turkey pot pies and some critical Texan grocery products like rubs, sauces, tallows, etc. AND, everything is explained expertly and passionately by chef owner Noah. What a hidden gem! We are new loyal fans for sure. I hesitate to compare but Dallas OGs: imagine for a moment if Franks Underground and Jimmy's Food Store had a baby! Side note: this is new ownership within the last couple of years and looking at the reviews it's tragic they've ever been rated anything short of 5 stars since they're carrying baggage from old ownership. read more

Oh man what a delicious cheeseburger! It didn't even need any sauce it was so delectable and every bite was an experience to savor.

Best Burger in Texas...I kid you not! The local's are hip-to-the-skip and tipped us off about the burgers at Hamm's. We stopped in today for lunch and a nice young man named Jacob helped us. He was super helpful. We chose to split the Smash Burger and Rueben (stock) and a side of fries. The burger was juicy, a little char, double-patty, with grilled onions and melty cheese. It was the bomb. The patty melt was one of the best I've ever had too. Classic, meaty, krauty, rye goodness! The fries were thin and seasoned with their house seasoning. The portions were generous and pricing was market, nothing crazy. Given all the choices out there, make this you next lunch destination and your tasebuds will thank me. read more

Read the Story, Heard the Hype, so had to try it out for myself... Burger had great meat taste, but could have used some more seasoning...Just missing that oomph; if you're in the vicinity, might be a stop, but there are others that are probably just as good- Solid B Burger As for the butcher shop, pretty rich for choice meat...at their pricing for Ribeyes and Strips, you can definitely find Prime Meat read more

Some of the best smash burgers we've ever had, without a doubt. Don't skip the fries either, they were amazing.

I have been wanting to try the lunch here for sometime. My dad is visiting from California and we popped in on a Tuesday . First of all the aesthetic is quite elegant in a rustic no nonsense way. They have a couple tables inside and we ate there. Very steady business. The food was out in a fair amount of time but the quality of the food was amazing!! We ordered hotdogs, Rueben's and a tri tip sandwich. The sides were just as fabulous. Probably the best potato salad I ever had. French fries & the beans were very good. We will definitely be back. Not just for another meal but for some of the selections behind the meat counter as well. Pure quality. A must try! read more

Great smash burger! This has always been our go to place for spiral cut honey glazed ham at the holidays. We love the butcher shop too. Finally had a chance to try the smash burger today and it was on point. They've increased the amount of seating available and that was nice as well. The service was prompt end the server checked on us a couple of times during the meal. It is always a nostalgic stop for me because my mom and dad used to buy their concession stand supplies in that same building when it was Jack Rattan's Wholesale. read more

Hamm's consistently has a good selection of meats. Their sausages and brats are way better than anything you can find in a store. Here's where they went above and behind though -- I was searching for plate ribs (aka Dino bones), and they hadn't gotten any for a while. So I went and talked with them. They asked for my number and said they'd find me some. Within 24 hours I had a call from them that they were available. Hard to find that kind of service these days! read more

This place is amazing. The new owners are super friendly and the food is incredible. I had the cheesesteak and my wife had the burger.

We were also able to get some awesome sauces from their great selection, as well as Cajun Friend Turkey for thanksgiving. Can't wait to try that!
