This shop space has been a butchery for the last 30-something years, trading under the name of…read moreAllens Meats, but has recently changed hands and become Maestro Meats. It hasn't yet got any signage up, but it is trading and there are some greats meats to be found within. The cuts are all pretty traditional, but the meat is of excellent quality and is sourced fairly locally. Their beef comes from Warrick and their lamb from Tassie, and it's good to know also that their chicken has been barn-raised and not cooped up too tightly. I've had some good chicken sausages, chicken kebabs, and lamb chops from there, but there's so much more I'd buy from there if I lived closer. Prices are reasonable--maybe a tiny bit more expensive than Coles, but definitely better quality. It's also worth noting that the new owners are planning to put a smoke house in for making their own smoked meats! Pretty exciting news for the residents of Annerley/Moorooka.

This is only the second time I've been in, but the proprietor remembered me from my last visit. He asked about my last purchase, just to make sure all went well.

They don't have a super shiny countertop display showing off all their fancy cuts, but they have amazing service - if you can't find what you're after in their big walk-in chiller, just tell them what you're after and I'd be very surprised if they don't have it. They're super-friendly bunch, nothing's too much trouble and they happily cut up the stock bones I get from them into lengths that will fit in my pressure cooker pot. I've been driving out of my way to get my meat from them for a few years now and would recommend them to anyone!

As I said in my previous review, there's not a lot of competition, but this is best yiros in Brisbane. (If you can prove me wrong, please do!!) They have actual lamb, chicken and pork, not that god awful mince stuff. We're not talking something you choke down when too drunk to make better decisions, this is worth travelling for. The chips are perfect. They scoop tzatziki with a spoon, not squirt it out of a bottle (get some on the side for your chips!) I'm almost salivating thinking about the lamb and am considering stoppin in on my way to a BBQ because... I don't need a reason.

There's lots of marinated / ready to cook options, and the fridge holds speciality packaged products and incredible hams. But what I saw when I walked in was the childrens drawings on the wall, the certificates of appreciation from local community groups and the butchers greeting customers by name. Give them a few days and they'll do specialty requests (boned turkey saved me a lot of effort) and they are great at making recommendations. If you live in this area you really shouldn't be buying your meat from anywhere else.

Against a backdrop of large meathooks (all cleaned up by the time they open / you get there) there's plenty on offer from fresh cuts to seasoned roasts and poultry. The place sees a steady stream of customers looking to fill up that grill. It's handy if you know what you want but the blokes do offer good advice and will prepare the cuts you're after while you wait. Not a fancy place so prices are very reasonable.

It's easy to go to Coles and buy all of your…read moregroceries there, but if you're anything like me, you'll buy your meat from the place next door, because they've got a better selection (no kangaroo here though, sorry) and they're cheaper. And you're supporting small local business. Win! Their platter of rich, red, iron laden meats just makes me salivate. They've got all of your standard cuts: eye fillet ($29.99 kg), scotch fillet, T-bones, rump, as well as diced meat, and two versions of mince. Then there's ossu buco cuts, and $2 bags of lamb off cuts, and $2.50 bags of neck chops (good for stocks, soup, or delicate treats for your dog). Chicken and pig can be found in various manifestations in the other fridge. The major drawcard for me is the varieties of sausage they sell there (all priced at $7.99). Worchestershire sauce sausage? Herb and garlic? Spanish chorizo sausage that isn't actually chorizo sausage (it's a bit of an odd one, I know)? How about sun dried tomato sausage? Your barbeque will be the most flavourful in town if you shop here, I promise. The service is quick and no nonsense, and you can't argue with the prices.

Meat Your Lifestyle has a great range of beef, pork, lamb and chicken, and gives its neighbour, Coles, a run for its money. Whilst not on display, they also have specialty meats written up on their chalk board, like peking duck, so be sure to ask if what you're looking for isn't in the cabinet. My favourites are their osso bucco for only $6.50/kg (great for tenderising in a slow cooker) and their free-range eggs, the cheapest I've come across in Brisbane. I also like their whole free-range chickens, costing around $7/kg. They come with their innards removed, making it quick and easy to stick them in the oven. The only downside is that they don't seem to sell free-range chicken breasts and the chicken breasts they do sell are so big, you have to wonder about the steroid content. Service is mixed, depending on who you get. Some employees there can be a bit abrupt, others really friendly. Either way, it beats Coles!
