This is the best meat place close to Orlando, always fresh, good quality, and excellent prices.

Best meat store in Florida. I dont shop anywhere else. So glad we moved nearby so we can visit weekly. If you're looking for healthy, fresh off the farm, look no further read more

I was not impressed with the service, or the choice of meat selection. The smell in the place was dreadful.

Ok. Like, if you don't know where this place is, shame on you! One of Sanfords hidden gems that is out of the way and out of this world. It is a butcher shop. Feels like a butcher shop, smell like a butcher shop. But the staff is quick to greet you and remind you to take a number. The place was packed with weekend grillers, home smoker afficionados, and families stocking up for the week. Fresh food, spices, frozen foods, and weekend specials will make your head soon on the first visit... but it won't be your last! Follow them on Facebook for all the specials! read more

This family owned butcher/meat packing store is a gem in the community. I can always know that I am getting the freshest products at competitive prices. There are often extremely good sales on cases of chicken breasts, wings, and their freshly ground beef. The owner is very communicative and really appreciative of her customers. Go Here! read more

This butcher shop has great deals, particularly on chicken but sometimes thick cut bacon. They also make their own sausage. I recommend the jalapeño cheddar; it has just the right spice level. Hopkins is a small place in a somewhat out of the way location but worth the drive to stock up your freezer or host a large gathering. Follow their facebook page for their specials to be posted. For example a 40lb box of wings for $45. They sometimes get lines in the store when they have good deals but the staff is helpful and quick. read more

Since 1967 Hopkins Meat Packing has provided Sanford and its surrounding cities with top-quality meats, custom butchering, and a variety of fresh grocery items. This family-owned butchery is smaller and has less of a selection than Gaff's in Deland; however, their affordable product pricing and location are what keep us coming back. I recently picked up: - 1.33 lbs. of ground chuck = $4.65. - 1.19 lbs. of Italian Sausage = $4.05. - 1.11 lbs. of Smoked Rind-on Bacon = $6.64. - 1.33 lbs. of Smoked Rib-in Bacon = $7.82. - 2.47 lbs. of Cheddar Brats = $9.13. I have tried all of the meats except for the ground chuck and Smoked Rind-on Bacon and I have no complaints. My favorite item out of this purchase has been the Cheddar Brats, I haven't had these in years and when I saw them, I had to have them. They were very cheesy but not so much that they overpowered the flavor of the meat, done just right. The staff here are helpful, friendly, and take the time to answer any questions you might have. The store has a small selection of vegetables for purchase; alternatively, they have a large selection of pickled items, specialty seasonings & dry batters, cheeses, canned goods, condiments, oils, dried legumes, Local Honey & Jams. We are fortunate Hopkins Meat Packing is only a 10-minute drive from our home. They have been a Godsend through the Covid-19 pandemic because we have been able to find items in short supply, such as pork chops, rib meat, and chicken wings when Walmart and Publix were out. If you happen to be in the Sanford area, stop into Hopkins Meat Packing to see what they have to offer, you will not regret it. read more

Great place with quality meats. Been around since 1967 as a staple of Sanford, Fl. It's simple and has great selection of Beef, pork and chicken also has basic ingredients that I grew up with such as Alabama King corn meal. read more

Place very clean- personal very friendly and helpful, they explain about special of the day, prices are reasonable especially since all is fresh read more

I like this place! A close friend recommended it and when I came here to check out reviews they were pretty glowing. We went to look for a large beef cut for a party next weekend. The guy who helped us was super nice to cut a brisket in half for us since we only needed 5lbs. They had some really large and fresh looking steaks in the case and all sorts of sausages. Hubs picked out some cheddar jalapeño ones to grill next weekend. I also grabbed a blackening seasoning, they had tons of blends! Pretty cool. This gem is not easy to find but the GPS took us right there. The cashier was also very nice, she seemed happy to be there. We will return! read more

This place is a bit hard to find and even when you do find it, it is hard to guess of the culinary wonderland that you will find within this nondescript building. While they have a few grocery items, the focal point is the meat. They have what you expect, but you can also find some specialty items like goat, rabbit, etc. In my opinion, the real gem is their sausages. On my last trip, I bought their hot smoked sausage, English style bangers, and hot Italian sausage. All three were absolutely amazing. This was my first time trying their Italian sausage and it will be my go to when I buy Italian sausage. I also bought some goat and grabbed a roast, as well. The staff is extremely friendly and answer all my questions. It is not fancy, by any means, but what they create is pretty magical. I realize how fortunate I am to have such a wonderful place somewhat close to me. I live on the east side of Orlando and will drive out here because of the quality and that is a testament to the wonder of this amazing place. Check them out. read more

This is the only place we will buy from for Filet Mignon. They literally have the best prices around and cut to order. You can choose how thick or large the diameter of your steaks are, and the butchers are always super knowledgeable and friendly. They butcher locally so everything you're getting is incredibly fresh. They also have a gigantic array of hot sauces and seasonings as well as some other bulk groceries. It's a bit of a drive tucked away in the backside of Sanford near Lake Jessup but well worth it. I swear their steaks are better than any fancy restaurant. And for a bonus, they make over 20 different flavors of house made sausage. Their Spicy House Smoked Sausage is my fav! read more

Hidden gem is a nice way to describe this meat market and small grocery near the Lake Jesup Wildness area. Drove by on my way to a hiking adventure and noticed the Hopkins sign. Hmm...A meat shop out here? Well what a surprise. Lots of meat if you're into that, and they will cut it to your specifications. If you bring in your hunted game then will prepare it for you if you pay for that service. This is not why I was there, but interesting to know. Shopped from their little refrigerated grocery section and picked up some frozen veggies, spices, and wanted to try their house made jalapeño pork sausage. So many unique choices here for spices, marinades, and dry-rubs for meats. Lots of dry grocery goods like rice, beans, and other side dish items. Could not believe I have not heard of this place, what a great little find down a country road in Sanford. Will definitely be back to up my spice game to max level! And maybe grab a steak or two. read more

Love this place, Great products. I've shopped here for years and have never been disappointed.

High quality meat market located in a hidden place deep in Sanford, FL. Family owned for over three generations that offer fresh cut beef, pork, and chicken cuts. It's really locally known but are listed on the internet. The prices are amazing and you can request for any kind of butchering. We cook ethnic foods so finding this place in Sanford is a jewel. We order oxtail cuts and specials short rib cuts that are usually more expensive every where else. Looking for ethnic seasoning or locally made BBQ rub? You'll find these things here too! What's also amazing is you'll find great customer service and a well diverse crew. I suggest visiting when planning for a barbecue or a dinner party, you won't be disappointed! read more

Steaks are delicious and reasonably priced . Raw peanuts and lots of local sauces and pickles available

Breakfast sausage is the BEST and definitely worth a ride out there even if that's all you buy however they have the best everything. You can get some really great deals by paying attention to their FB page for specials on chicken breast, pork roast, beef etc. read more

Great hidden find for fresh meats and chicken. When they say it's literally off the beaten path, they mean it. I only found out about this place because my boyfriend has been coming here for years. It's super clean and you have no idea that you're in a meat processing plant. This is also a great place for hunters since they do process wild game. They will cut it to your specifications. They have several types of meats (pork, beef and chicken) in various cuts. I also noticed that they have lamb and goat meat as well. If you don't see a particular cut that you're wanting then just ask as they can check in the back. The butchers were very helpful and gave me guidance on what type of roast I was needing for my New Years dinner. The prices are comparable to stores but the fact that I can get fresh cut meat that hasn't been sitting on a store shelf for days on end is a plus for me. They do offer a small grocery area that offers marinades, seasonings, bbq sauce, rice, beans etc. They have a small selection on frozen veggies and other odds and ends that one may need. It was definitely worth the 45 minute drive from Brevard County. Next time I'm bringing a cooler so that I can stock up for the month. read more

Very good and reasonable prices and amazing sausages. All sorts of varieties too. Stop by and grab great fresh cuts of meat.

Great cuts at the best prices. A hidden gem in Sanford. Excellent customer service, very friendly.

I have been going to Hopkins meat market for about 7 years maybe more. Never anything to complain about. Customer service is fantastic! They will help you with placing your order, and if you have a large order like I get, they will bring it out to your car and load it for you. They are patient when you are undecided The meat is the best meat by far! It is cut to your wants and it is sooooo fresh! You can taste the difference between their fresh cuts to ANY store bought meat! I am placing a huge order tomorrow to fill my very large stand up freezer. You should do the same They also carry rubs, sauces spices and seasonings for your meats as well as rice and a few more items. THIS is the place you want to shop at. read more

I have been coming to this meat place for years. It's been a year since I stopped by since moving away from it. I passed by the other day and they were surprised to see me. The whole staff was wondering where I had been. It's always a pleasure to go in they are always so helpful. They will cut the meat and package it anyway you like. They make their own homemade sausages and chorizos every Wednesday. Ground beef is always fresh and I also get them to cut my pork chop thin. If anyone on my friends list is on Food Stamps they take that as well. They accept credit cards and debits. I usually tip when I have them cut meat for me. They are open everyday except Sundays. read more

After years of hearing about it, I finally tried Hopkins meat packaging about 2 years ago. I got a case of chicken breasts and immediately cut packaged in froze 98% of them. For a wife and I that lasted quite a while. So I've only been back once since then, and that was today. The price for buying Chicken in bulk is absolutely amazing, but what always surprises me is the level of customer service that these butchers have. LOL, I realize that sounds like a contradiction, but I'm always so impressed but how I'm treated here in a world that has lost its understanding of good customer service. Since my family just recently jumped to eight, I will be visiting them much more often. If you haven't tried Hopkins, do yourself a favor and check it out. read more

This is as good as it gets for a local butcher shop. There isn't anything fancy about Hopkins, just know that the quality of the meats are very high. Actually, my profile pic has 3 bone-in ribeye steaks that were cut to my specifications and weighed a whopping 36oz a piece. They will cut anything you want for you if you don't see what you need in the cases. I always go here to get my meat when I'm going to be cooking something nice. So many people will go to Petty's in Longwood and pay very expensive prices for the same grade of meat. Petty's has high overhead and too much going on to keep their prices lower...so I am sticking to Hopkins, those guys rock! read more

I love the friendliness of the people who greet you, who want to help you with all your needs! That's a rarity and I love you can buy in bulk if you wish! I'm on a strict budget and you try to give us the best prices you can! I get paid once a month so it's difficult sometimes if I have no way to get to you! Thank you Hopkins for caring for your customers! We appreciate you for caring for us!! read more

Great place to get great meat I've been going here since I was a little girl with my mom and auntie now I'm 58 years young and I still come and my daughter has been coming since she was a little girl now she has her family so in my family Hopkins is a tradition read more

Why did I wait so long to review Hopkins?? One of those businesses that is always busy and have been there forever and ever, which can only speak to it's awesomeness. It's a slaughterhouse and a butcher shop (I know, you'll be oooookay), so EVERYthing is extremely fresh. Very clean shop, reasonable prices on all kinds of meaty goods, from quality steaks and chicken to hot dogs and sausages and a ton of other stuff, especially meats of the pork-related variety. YAY! Curbie's Sidewalk Cafe uses their hot dogs and they're so big and meaty, they need to put them on a hoagie roll-and they're still almost too big. On occasion, in season, you can get freshly made venison sausage. Quite good. It's in the middle of nowhere, but worth looking for. read more

Hopkins is a legit neighborhood meat market, seriously! So neighborly that I was doubting my gps as I was passing through the residential homes bordering the market. Thankfully, there were signs to confirm that my journey to the land of meat was not in vain. Huzzah! As you are parking your car in their dirt lot; you realize this is an all meat and no frills place. Their selection is what you expect from a traditional meat market and more. Prices were really reasonable for the items that I saw. Went home with their in-house made cheddar jalapeno sausage and a slab of baby back ribs for a nice weekend bbq. The sausage had a great snap with extremely delicious flavor; consider buying it if you like sausages, cheddar, or jalapenos. Definitely coming back here to buy meat for my next big gathering cookout! read more

I absolutely love this place! It reminds me a lot of the butcher shops back home in Georgia. It's typical always pretty busy. They have a big board where they write what they have available and the prices. I came here specifically to get porterhouse steaks. After a few minutes, it was my turn to put in my meat request. They didn't have many to choose from out in the case, so they went to the back and cut some to my specifications. The guy helping me came from the back and handed me 4 of the prettiest porterhouses! (And they were definitely very yummy too!!). I got checked out quickly and was on my way home to cook my birthday deliciousness. Friendly, fast, and awesome quality food... I definitely recommend any meat lover to check this place out! read more

We went here for a year or twice. They gave us breasts when we paid for tenderloins. When you buy in cases they are sealed. This time loose seal,no labels,chicken smelled. And there were no tenderloins. One lady told us to bring it back to exchange, I sure hope they aren't selling pre opened contaminated chicken to anyone else. Then the next servicer yelled and told us we had gotten a good deal and pay the difference of the breasts. No resolve and the worst customer service. So incredibly rude. Out 80 bucks for meat we didn't order and tbh feel unsafe consuming with the questionable grade . read more

This is like a true up north butcher with fresh quality meat. Not only that but all of it is priced GREAT! I have told several co workers and clients already!! Can't wait to come back for my weekly order! read more

I had the guys at Hopkins process a deer that I shot this past hunting season. Their rates were very reasonable and the prices were excellent. They were very fast and efficient, the finished product was ready the next day. I had it half ground and half sausage. The sausage was excellent and the ground product was excellent also. I wish that we had a place like this here in Daytona so i could do all of my meat shopping there. This is a little bit of a throwback to the days of old. This place is a little hard to find if you are not paying attention but my gps took me right there. read more
