This butcher shop & general store is testified to by locals as a hidden gem. The personnel are always polite and the building, while dated, is clean and welcoming. After trying their ground beef on previous trips, we ordered their #1 meat special (see photo) which includes 100 pounds of various cuts of regionally sourced beef. The order was ready for pickup about a week and frozen solid as requested as my freezers would not be able to handle such a task! I was a little disappointed to see the packing done in butcher paper, scrawled with handwritten labeling- as this takes up more freezer space (a commodity at our home) and makes it harder to discern which packages you want to select to defrost, lacking a labeled weight as a plastic, vacuum packed type setup other places use for bulk. I feel this packaging is more prone to freezer burn- though hopefully we eat through it quick enough do it id not a concern for us. It's probably a matter of preference, so I did not take off a star for it- though customers should be aware that it is how the meat is prepared. Pickup was easy and they helped load it into my vehicle in 2 large cardboard boxes from their rear loading ramp. The pricing is competitive and so far the meat quality from Herrell's has been very good. read more

See all

Their meat is the best I've found. Not many places have an actual nest counter with butchers. The people in the store are helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. read more

My family and I get all of are meats from herrell's. I recommend trying their bulk pork sausage goes great with Italian dishes, mmhmm Jeff the owner is a great guy worth paying a little extra for items knowing your money is going to a good cause read more

4 stars splits the difference. A 5 for their meats. Top shelf, reasonably priced and a wide variety. If there's something you want they'll cut it to your specifications. 3 stars for the rest of the grocery store. If you're there to do week-long shopping go to Schnucks Dierbergs or Shop and Save. If you're there to pick up something to get you through a meal cross your fingers and they might have it. They are extremely polite and friendly and more than happy to help you look for something it's unfortunate though the selection is just not that big. But it is a great small town grocery store. As I said before you cannot go wrong getting your cuts of meat at Harrell's. read more

I would love to shop there as they werny wearing face diapers and last names are similar, but driving from mi a little far

This place is the best. Great service, great food, at great prices. I drive 45 minutes to get here every time I want to fire up the smoker. Best meat shop in STL! Worth the drive to Jefferson county! read more

okay so i just moved here and I wondered where a nice meat counter was to be found. I was told about this place by a few locals so I hunted it down---it is actually a little small town grocery store with a meat counter in the back. I am glad that they have a local store believe me I am but the meat counter wasn't impressive to me. The display was less than desirable to say the least. I ended up getting a lb of ground beef and actually grilled it. They fell apart and didn't hold together not sure why. It tasted okay but I think I am still going to search for a decent old fashioned meat counter. On a good note they have a lot of other things for sale and at decent prices so if you live close to imperial by all means please shop there and support these little grocers.........I am just not going out of my way to drive there for the meat... read more

Best little market in the county. Not exclusively a meat market, but that's what they're revered for! Best sausages, hands-down! Freezer pack deals are unmatched, too. ...... And, throughout this ridiculous "pandemic", they've been one of the few businesses that have remained level-headed!! Thank you, Herrell's, for staying the course and being the one constant very-close-to-normal in our lives! I LOVE that we can all still SHARE OUR SMILES! read more

Fresh meat & Fast service ^,^ Their beer & jalapeno bratwurst is unbeliable good ^,^ read more

I strictly go for their butcher department! They are knowledgeable and there is no contest - they have the best meats for miles around. If my family who live miles away pass by the Imperial exit, they always pick up pineapple brats! My husband loves the jalapeño brats. read more

Some of the best sausage in the bi-state area based on my experience, be it brats, salsiccia, etc. Half the time I get sausage from a butcher it tastes half spoiled so this place must make it in small portions or they turn it over fast. Believe me, place isn't the most fanciest and polished but it serves great meat for the price. I've been to other butcher shops and the sausage is half spoiled, not correctly seasoned, or fat ratio is way off. read more

The best meat we have found in the South County/Jefferson County area.Will not go anywhere else.Older grocery store style.Great people always!!!!!Not a lot of standard groceries but that's okay.We go in and fill our freezer with the wonderful meat product.Like all the varieties of brats.Partial to the pineapple brats.The ground chuck burger is great! Very little run off fat and hasn't been pumped up with anything you get at the chain food grocery stores. I only get about two table spoons out after browning burger.Regular chain stores even the ground chuck I get half to three quarters of a cup depending on the chain store.Worse is you pay for that.We won't go anywhere else. read more

One of the things i urge people to come in and try here is their meats. They seem to have a very good selection of cuts and types here that are usually very nice, and when cooks so tender and delicious! As it is a market they do have alot of things you would normally find in a maket and prices are average. However, i usually go in for the meats, their steaks are usually superior and they cut it to your standards! read more

Best meat market in Jefferson County & St Louis surrounding area .The butchers are friendly & so are the employees. The Pineapple Brats & Pork Steaks & Bacon are my favorite at Herrell's read more

I have been to Herrell's numerous times and can't say anything but the best about them. They have the best butchers in the area and aside from doing their job exceptionally well they also are the friendliest around. If you have not tried their house made brats - you're cheating yourself. They have a number of different flavors and every one that I have tried is better than the rest! Go to Herrell's and thank me later. read more

I have been buying meat at Herrell's for years. The prices are reasonable, service a great and the quality is sooo much better than the bigger grocery stores. Yes it is a small grocery store with a meat counter in the back. If you want to pay for inferior product in a fancier setting, go somewhere else. If you want to have a great dinner, this is where you start! read more

I love their pineapple brats and different cheeses free samples and great sweet employees

I have been shopping here for five years. They excel in their selection of meats. It's a small market to do major shopping in, but if you go for the meat you won't be sorry! read more

Been a customer of Herrell's for 40 years. Now that we live in Florida, we make sure to visit Herrells whenever we travel back to St. Louis. Good friends, great service and wonderful meat. Yes you CAN go back home again. Walk through the front door of Herrell's and you ARE home. Love you Joe, Gene, Cathy, Nancy, Phyllis, Harriet & the cuties behind the meat counter. Don't know if you will ever see this but the pineapple brats we ate tonight were AWESOME! read more
