(no, they won't come wash the dishes). I consider buying high quality food an investment in health. An extra $30 a week over a life time is still less than one bypass surgery.

So, my new Mountain Cur pup was what finally got me to go in this butcher shop. I had seen it and…read morepassed it many times in the nine years since I moved back. However, I consider such places above my budget. A friend who has had pedigree dogs suggested I get some beef/pork hocks and cross-cut marrow bones for my pup. In fact, a lady later heard me talk about this somewhere and said she would be going to get some for her Great Danes. (I hope I don't cause a rush on these and then I can't get them! :-) However, I found a new venue where I can get Penn's country ham. I have a venue for Berger (sp?) ham but I actually prefer Penn's. Now I can't stop going in there to buy country ham because it's one of my favorites. Alas, the saga continues, because one day I splurged on a pint of gourmet ice cream. No, it wasn't cheap, but OH MY GOSH I can't even describe it! This shocked me because I am not much of an ice cream eater having had an intolerance for milk as a baby. This stuff is indescribably delicious! I have also found other items occasionally like huge baking potatoes or fresh corn on the cob that they occasionally have. Iim just a little annoyed that it's taken me nine years to go in and check it out. The service is very good, and there is an obvious aura of family pride in their service. Because of all their yummy delectable items, you might have to wait a few minutes because they often cut your meat while you wait.

We took 2 cows to be processed and they are great to work with in every way! I was impressed with…read morethe text from them letting us know the live weight/hanging weight and the packaging has a label showing the description of meat and weight/date just like in a store which makes it so much easier. The previous two butcher businesses we used did not do that so this was an extra for us. The place was very clean and organized and we will use them from now on! Also, its a family business and they are all so nice and helpful plus the location is in Cookeville and easy to get to. I highly recommend this business!

UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP!!!!!!!…read more Now known as Walker's Butcher Block this place is immaculate. The inside has been completely renovated and their approach to processing game and running the business is exceptional. Older negative review should be completely disregarded and has a big game hunter who prefers to process 100% of his own harvest, I will be taking much of my game here in the future. At my request they deboned the meat and use no saws and cutting of steaks or bones so there is zero bone fragments or marrow on my elk. They trim the sinew perfectly and what I ended up with is even better that I have had done it myself. Those of us who know the flavor of the game is 90% related to how it's handled from the moment the harvest takes place until the minute it hits your dinner plate . Walkers butcher block (previously known as the Lebanon locker) has my complete trust now and actually saved my ass when I had to travel unexpectedly on the day I was going to process my own meat. They took in my beautiful idaho harvest (6x6) at the last minute and turned it around immediately. The price is reasonable but most importantly I have an entire freezer full of perfectly trimmed and packaged meat that's ready for my grill, broiler, or crockpot. another Wilson County family owned business that goes above and beyond and we need to patronize with our business ! 100% trusted and I'm telling all my hunting friends.. feel free to call Houston's in Mount Juliet for support of my recommendation. .

I purchased a 8 pound tenderloin and was told it was choice beef for $20 a pound for eight pounds min. When we were about to butcher it we found it was stamped select beef that was very fatty, as you can see from the picture. I was only able to get 4,6 pounds of usable meat from the tenderloin making it some of the most expensive select meat I have ever purchased $34.63 lb. And half ended up being filet cubes due to the amount of fat. I don't know if this normal, but I will not be back again.

If you come to compare prices be sure to note that this meat is of a much higher grade that the conveyor belt meat from the grocery stores. The prices are not dirt cheap but you get what you pay for and that is quality. I don't know about you but I am fearful to buy meats that may be recalled tomorrow from the chain stores. I can't tell you how many times the meat from a grocery store goes bad quick even within 24 hours, sometimes the meat may look good in the store but when you get it home it is discolored on the bottom or throughout.
