When I first moved to the area, it was under different ownership and I was never impressed with the quality as much as I wanted to support local. Now, it's always clean and fresh and the service is just as good if not better. The baked sweet breads are made by a different company though and sometimes stale. The produce is also not always too fresh. Cannot find fresher meat or more variety. Hands down beats McKinnon's. My friend even ordered a whole pig for a roast and loved it! read more

Have been trying to contact for 2 days. No answer, voicemail saying to leave a message, no response to any of the messages left. What kind of business has no way to contact them! The lack of customer service is frustrating at best. I definitely won't be giving my business to a business that does not value the customer read more

I was walking by on New Year's Day and pleasantly surprised to find the establishment open. I was looking for a good quality steak to serve for me my wife and my father-in-law. I ended up with ribeye steaks to serve three. My wife warned me that they were expensive but in my opinion well worth it. I jumped online to see how to cook them and I ended up broiling them. This filled my house with smoke but again well worth the smoke alarm test. The owners of the market were very pleasant and nice to deal with. They cut the three ribeye steaks from a large piece of beef. They were very fresh and delicious. I will definitely be going back to purchase other items from this market. I think it is important to support local businesses like the Maplewood meat market. You just can't get quality food like this in a supermarket. read more

Bought 30$ worth of steak tips. Got home, opened the bag and this is what they gave us. read more

Bought boneless choice sirloins there and they were as good if not better then others prime cuts. Will be getting my Christmas Prime Rib there. read more

Anyone who knows me knows that I am all about the local business. I am, however, not one to blindly shop at a locally-owned business if their quality, price, and selection are not up to snuff. How frabtious is it, then, that I can find such the great intersection of local and value at Maplewood Meat Market. They've been doing it up in Malden for about 65 years, and the guys behind the counter really know their stuff. Custom cuts, butchering on site, and encyclopaedic knowledge of all things carnivorian, sure - but how often do you find guys like this in the Commonwealth who are friendly as hell? For real - nicest guys to wear a butcher's apron. But let's get out of the box for a minute. Sure, they make their own sausage in house. Of course, they do their own marinades for tips and chicken. I mean, this ain't amateur hour. How about some next-level action, though? Pheasant? Check. Wild Boar? Check. Venison? Check. Foie Gras? Check. Alligator? Antelope? Buffalo? Caribou? Elk? Kangaroo? Muscovy Duck? Musk Ox? Ostrich? Poussin? Quail? Rabbit? Rattlesnake? Squab? Turtle? Checkcheckcheckcheck mufuggin CHECK! Move to Malden. Shop here. You have your orders. read more

Well, it looks like I'm done buying meat at the grocery store. Until one day ago, I'd never heard of this place, but I needed a specific size and cut of pork loin for a meal I was planning. I called to inquire and was told "Oh, we cut those to order, just drop by and we'll cut it fresh on the spot." Upon arrival, several options were discussed, a piece was selected and cut, and I was asked if I would be stuffing the loin (I was), upon which the butcher offered to butterfly the loin to accommodate stuffing (I accepted). He also provided me with a length of butcher's twine so that I could tie it back up when prepared. The two employees there were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable; not only that, but they listened to what I asked for and made appropriate recommendations that will make for a better meal, and I'll be just a bit smarter when I return for my next visit. read more

First I will start off by saying that the owners (John and Steve) are friendly, knowledgeable and down to earth people. They make my life so much easier when it comes to feeding my family. I call in my order each day and it's ready for pick up by the time I get there. You can request your steaks, chicken, pork, cold cuts, etc. to be cut however you'd like. Pre-order your holiday turkey, prime rib or ham in advance so you get the exact weight you need to serve all your quests. They also carry your everyday needs of condiments, can goods, fresh bread, dairy, vegetables and amazing soups and chowders. It's so nice to have a neighborhood butcher with quality meat at your fingertips. Highly recommend a visit. read more

Do not shop anywhere else for your meats but this place, especially the "GROUND BEEF" which they grind fresh every day and sometimes several times per day. The owners are two brothers and very friendly and clean. They make their own chicken sausages as well as Italian sweet or hot sausages and are wonderful. They also have great racks of ribs, awesome pork and pork chops, cold cuts, breads, and some fruits and veggies. The freshly cut chicken cutlets are delicious as well as there marinated chicken/steak/and pork tips. NO MORE SUPERMARKET PACKAGED MEATS FOR ME! It is so worth going a bit out of your way for.

All of their "Exotic" meats are frozen and EXTREMELY overpriced. They were out of rabbit on Friday, but they told me it was $9.99/lb. I ended up getting it at McKinnons for $3.99/lb!! If you want exotic meats just order it from one of the online places, youll pay a fair price and have it in a few days. These guys are out of everything, everything they carry is frozen, and they charge through the roof. They guy said he had a 5lb bucket of turtle, it was like $26.00/lb and i would have to buy the whole bucket. It woulda been $135.00 for the bucket, you can get a 5lb bucket of turtle online for like $99.00 a bucket......delivered! read more

nice neighborhood meat shop - good selection and knowledgeable staff. Worth checking out. Support local business!

I wasted 10 minutes of my life walking in that store. Bread wasn't fresh and they had nothing worth buying. As I I was I the store they kept staring like I had 5 heads. I will never go back again. Wasted my time. I'll stick to mckinnon's in Everett where I know the food is fresh. read more

Knowledgeable butchers. Cut to order. Excellent selection. I'm stopping in once a week now.

I'm always happy to buy meats at Maplewood Meat Market. They have the best meat and are always available for advice on special orders

There is truly no better place to buy your meat. The quality here is second to none! In addition to having quality goods, the people who work here are so friendly and knowledgeable. I believe the place is owned by two brothers, and one if the brothers, John, I had the pleasure of talking to when I went in last week. He's truly a great guy and was happy to answer all of the questions I had. I would highly recommend this place to anyone! read more

I called and asked if they ground chicken and was told they do over a certain amount of LBs, I was going to order 5 lbs for the following weekend and was told it would be ready, I placed my order of 6lbs to be sure it would be plenty for my bbq, upon arrival the person behind the counter did not know what I was saying and to add insult to injury he said they don't even ground chicken to order, I just moved to the area and was having a large get together that afternoon, and had to run around to fill that part of my order, that being said I WOULD NOT RETURN NOR WOULD I RECCOMENTD THEM NOR GIVE THEM ANOTHER CHANCE!! Verry shoddy read more

This place was a great find! I stop in most nights after work and the two men behind the counter are always always helpful ( sometimes even helping me plan dinner and provide cooking instructions). Steaks are delicious and can be cut to order which I appreciate because I love a thick steak for the grill. Square hamburgers melt in your mouth. The cold cuts are great and much cheaper than stop and shop - the buff chick cold cuts are out of this world. I have yet to try a marinade that wasn't delicious. If you haven't tried this place yet I think its a worth while stop. I have a big order in for my son's graduation bbq next week and look forward to a delicious bbq. read more

I have been getting my chicken here for over five years now and I have never been disappointed. The chicken is always fresh and I definitely get my money's worth. If you are looking for quality meat and/or cold cuts, check this place out. read more
