You won't be surprised. Pound for pound id choose this place over jacksons down the block in a second. I had disinterested service at jacksons to the point where I said I didn't want something and they threw it in the bag and charged me anyway. I now had a pack of marinade for 10lbs of meat that I didn't want.

Went here to get tenderloin cut for beef wellington right before on Christmas Eve, which was not a…read moregood plan cause most of holiday things are sold out. I called ahead before heading down here, "Do you have center cut tenderloin?", "Yes we have a lot". Well that was dumb of me for being not specific enough on what I'm trying to make. When I got there, I talked to one of the staff asking for the tenderloin. They proceed to show the center cut tenderloin which been cut to steak size. I explained that I'm planning to make Wellington, and that would not work. They went to the back, but couldn't find any, and told me it was sold out earlier. Then they talked about the other tenderloin cut, which twirled using string, they said I can use it but they wouldn't recommend it for Wellington as there is muscle which going to make it tough. I decided to just get the prosciutto, and another staff came to help me. They asked how much I need and what I'm making. Once they learned that I'm making Wellington, they dig around for the center cut and there was one left! Christmas is saved! Cost about $113.68 for 1.146 kg of center cut tenderloin, very good price!

You wasted my time and my gas money.

I've been a regular customer at Beefway for quite some time and really value the quality of their…read moremeat, which is why this is disappointing to say. Unfortunately, the customer service has consistently been way below expectations. Every time I call the store, the staff often sound impatient, unwilling to answer questions, and at times even sarcastic. The lady that's usually the cashier is really sweet though. When you are paying premium prices for high-quality beef, you also expect respectful and courteous service. It's a shame, because if the customer experience were better, I would gladly shop there even more often.

This place has an amazing and very large selection of sausages and so many cuts of beef, pork and chicken....very impressive. We picked up a couple of steaks and some chorizo for my next paella meal. Happy to recommend Beefway Meats.

Yesterday after failing to find skin-on turkey breast elsewhere I phoned and ordered a whole turkey…read morebreast, skin on, and paid a deposit of $20. All good - head out and ask my husband to pick it up. While I shop for other things. After several minutes of confusion from the staff, he's finally handed an enormous wrapped parcel and charged $104. He's shocked but figures he better get it. Now I don't know if we could have returned it at this point, but when I saw Safeway only had a small, single breast (for $13.99) I figured I'd go with what appeared to be a very large double / full breast. Getting home I unwrap a bloody, netted roll of turkey that turns out to be one skin-on breast that has the meat partially separating from the skin, very unevenly and poorly removed from the bone, plus approximately 8 skinless breasts of various sizes. I'm already anxious enough about making a massive and complex meal and now I have an extremely expensive pile of basically crap as my centrepiece. Wonderful. Suggest if you buy from them do it in-store and watch what you're getting. I suspect they had a trainee and rolled their unsalable poorly cut breasts into a giant 'sucker' package for whoever phoned in a turkey order. I certainly won't support this business again, which pisses me off because I sure don't love supporting Galen and the other monopolies. Feeling incredibly ripped off and gullible for trusting which also sucks for us as a society. I was very clear in my order that I was expecting both sides of the breast with skin on (I asked twice) from a roughly 5-6 kilo turkey. Guess I'm just bitter as I lie awake stressing about presenting a hacked up small pile of turkey to my guests. Damn Tango's, you did me dirty.

Using my trusty Yelp application on my phone, this one was a 5 alarm red, and instead of just blindly going there first, we actually called on the phone first, and they picked up, it was loud as you can hear the hustle nad bustle while the woman who picked up was talking with us. This place is really a meat market, small shop, with a bunch of people working there helping out everyone who comes in, and they understand meat. My dear was asking the lady that got our meats some questions and she gave some tips and some other meat ideas. This place really is your neighborhood butcher, while being in this shop I noticed people coming in, and the staff referring to them by name, pretty cool. Wanting to try their cured sausages while I was here, thanks to Herman's review, will have to come back, but if you are looking for good quality meats, you won't go wrong here.

I used to find Tenderland Meats Granville Island to be excellent quality for the pricey price with…read moregood service. Now, the quality is slipping. And, the owner, Mike, is rude and defensive when someone brings about meat that is not up to snuff. They used to make meatloafs with ground beef, lamb and pork and a mild seasoning with tomato sauce and parsley. I have bought them for years. Recently, though, they changed the recipe and cut out the lamb! While this saves money for them, the recipe now is inedible! It's overly salty and tastes like soap! We could not finish even one of the three. I let them know by phone and they said "just throw it out and we will give you another". Why would we want another that tasted so bad and was inedible? so, I brought back the two others and when Mike heard of this, he came over to counter, yelled at me and said, "Here's your 20 and we don't want to hear your story!" He continued to berate me and said, "We must have sold over a 100 of these!" I have no ulterior motive. But the meat recipe was awful and the meat itself looked brownish/grey. Still, I went on to buy two large very expensive steaks and some brisket. I was working with another of his sales team (thankfully) and Mike re-inserted himself to say, "If you want a deal for Brisket", go to Costco!" I was astonished. Is this how you treat decades old customers? The other staff person looked embarrassed when he heard Mike scolding me. I think the place must be slipping in either its business or professionalism. I can't say when I will recover from this awful service. I will not recommend them to others.

Unfortunately, they have revised their recipe and use pork now, it doesn't taste the same, the texture is like eating rubber, was pink after recommended cooking time and the quality has gone down. I hope that Tenderland meats reads this review and changes their product back to the original product. If Tenderland Meats can reach out to this review, I know a lot of people want this to be changed back to the original. I'd rather pay more for quality then eat something that doesn't taste good. We didn't feel safe eating it and most of it was thrown out. The pork really ruins this meatloaf dish.

I love this meat shop and if I lived here I would definitely support them all the time…read more Our first visit, we had purchased some Swiss farmer sausage that they had sliced for us to eat while we were walking around. And this Swiss farmer sausage was amazing. We had not anything like that before and we were hooked. It was meaty, savory and not too salty with just a touch of sweetness on the outside. So we knew had to come back to get more and get more we did. We had asked if they could cut for us and the lady said they didn't normally cut the sticks but the gentleman said they would do it for us. So I loved that they did it for us again especially bc we thought it was just something they did from our visit. I also purchased a couple of sticks of landjaeger and wished I had picked up a few more. Those were just as delicious if not more than the Swiss farmer sausage. The meat selection here is pretty good too. All the meats are fresh and beautiful.
