This place is expensive. Really expensive. Like, if you have a budgetary choice to go to a top-end steakhouse or buy your meat from Mitch, the steakhouse will be your cheaper option. And the rules can be a hassle if you are not planning ahead. It's all entirely true. BUT... Good lord is the meat good. The man knows his trade. His sourcing is top notch, and once you make it inside the store, he is attentive, helpful, and knowledgeable about how to store, prepare, and cook every product he sells. I can only afford it every once in a while, but if I need an absolute slam-dunk for a special occasion, I always hit up Mitch. His manager lady (I'm sorry I don't recall your name!) is incredibly nice and helpful, making suggestions and giving tips. The business has its quirks, and if you don't like the rules or the prices, it's best you go somewhere else. But if you're in need of one of the best pieces of meat you've ever had, suck it up and go see Mitch. Call ahead and you're golden. read more

This place is AMAZING! We ordered 2 prime cutes, one ribeye and one NY strip. Oh my they were beautiful, seasoned well with his secret seasoning, and he even gave us beef fat to cook it in which added to the flavor! We seared ours in a cast-iron skillet and use the juice to top the mashed potatoes we made as well as seared broccolini on the side. These two pieces were honestly large and we ended up having leftovers to sear up for dinner another day as well. I will certainly be coming back again for a special occasion dinner! Please do pre-order because it will make us so much easier for him as well as you so you can ensure that you get exactly what you need! read more

See all

I wanted to like Mitch's Meats and Fish, but the experience was just too frustrating to ignore. First, there are so many strange, confusing rules posted everywhere--honestly, you'd need a compass and a decoder ring just to figure out how to shop there. And once you've deciphered everything? Get ready to wait outside, regardless of how bad the weather is. Rain, snow, blazing sun--it doesn't matter. They only allow *one* person inside at a time. And heaven forbid you accidentally miss a step in their rulebook--they'll scold you like you're a kid in trouble. Shopping here shouldn't feel like an obstacle course. Great food or not, the vibe is just too off-putting to make it worth it. I would give 0/5 stars if that was an option. Also - Can't wait for Mitch to comment to call me an internet Cowboy....... read more

Mitch's Meats & Fish - Butcher Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

AMAZING EXPERIENCE! He was so helpful to us and being new to the area we didn't know where to get our Thanksgiving meats from but everything he offered us was top quality. His directions are on point on how to cook the meats and he is just an overall great person! We will be getting our turkey and ham from him every year now! read more

This place is incredible! I have been going here for years. Everything is fresh and top quality. I will never buy fish or meat from the supermarket again. You can taste the difference. The seasonin, the soups, the steak, the fish, the bacon. and the list goes on! There is some nostalgia that goes with it that you can't duplicate. If you want a personal butcher and value what you feed your family. Try Mitch's! -Sincerely Kahlil read more

Weirdest customer service ever. You have to wait outside until its your turn they only allow maybe 2 at a time. After waiting 15 or twenty minutes. I gave up and left. They say its not paranoia its so they can give you better service. I call B/s Really liked this place several ago. read more

Mitch is a dick. His meats are great. Not worth the price. Especially having to deal with him.

Meat and products are top of the line. Mitch has a very particular way he runs his business which works well for him. As a person who prefers a lack of attention when shopping it takes some work to prepare myself for the experience. Products are top of the line and everyone should give him a chance. read more

I've been a customer since they opened. I love this place and its people. Yes I order ahead - why wouldn't you knowing how the shop's clearly explained service priority works? And unlike a lot of places I have zero worry from Mitch's about the meats and fish being anything but top notch and super fresh. Plus - by ordering ahead Mitch always has what I want - butchered the way I want it. Lots of the businesses I support have "rules" I don't love (like breakfast starting at 8 am vs its real starting time of 6 am) :). But I just work around 'em. One of the great things about owning your own business is you get to figure out how to run it your own way. Mitch definitely has a way of running his -- but I'm a raving fan and I love being able to order ahead and just run in and pick it up. Swim with the current! Go Mitch - we appreciate y'all! read more

Went to Mitch's again after rediscovering it. We were walk-ins. Only about a 10 minute wait to get in the store. Once we were there, Mitch took his time explaining and showing us everything he has. We walked out with about 10 lbs of fish and meat. Everything so far was delicious. I got a lesson from Mitch on how to prepare the meatballs, and I followed it to the "T" on Sunday. They were DELICIOUS! and clean up was a breeze. I will be back to restock, and bring my son who is a chef classically trained at Johnson and Wales, it will be a playground for him in there.... read more

I know we can't go out to eat, but if you're a steak lover, you can always buy these gorgeous cuts from @mitchs_meats_and_fish I sometimes like to treat myself with a fancy dinner and I'm sure most of you out there do too! The front cut is their Japanese Waygu cut: $69.99/lb The other one is the Australian Wagyu cut: $59.99/lb I can tell you that the price is absolutely worth the taste. It literally melts like butter in your mouth. Believe it or not, it just took me to another world after taking the first bite. Mitch and his staff are all very friendly, and he also gives you a box of the beef fat to cook the steak in for free if you ask. I'll definitely go back when I get my next steak cravings! read more

Terrible experience, don't even try to walk in. Arrogance in all the rules. Very childish grammar and rules just to shop here. It's a boutique butcher. Lady of the house was rude, and escorted us out to read the rules, when no one was in the shop. Tried to look at their website to see how to preorder, but it was just the same rules again. Plenty of other places to buy quality meat and have a good customer experience. They should put one of those jewelry store door locks if they don't want people coming in. Waiting for Mitch to reply on Yelp (which he'll most likely do), probably what he does rather than cutting meat. How about hire another person to help? read more

We had our first experience at Mitch's today, and I'm completely obsessed! First of all, from the first second being greeted by Bill and Starr I could tell this was a special place. They made us feel like VIPs/family immediately! Next came Mitch with his expertise and passion, and last but not least, THE MEAT! Mitch is like Meat Santa! The selection and quality are unparalleled, and I'm worried that I'm ruined for grocery store steak forever. Go there! You won't regret it! read more

Best meats and service in all of Roswell, highly recommend! If you like breakfast sausage this will be the best sausage you've ever had read more

You want the best, then look no further. His products and knowledge never disappoint. I love his rules of engagement. It's his business, and it runs like a well-oiled machine. Pre-ordering is the way to go once you understand his inventory. Mitch even provides his personal number for "meat emergencies," which i have used in the past. I even send him pictures of my prepared steaks as i am so pleased with the results. My favorites are the cowboy cut bone in ribeye, filet, pork chops, and chicken breasts. Mitch is a Roswell treasure. He treats every customer as they are very important to him. Also I love the ambiance of the shop. Keep it up, Mitch, and thank you. read more

Mitch's Meats & Fish - Mitch's pork chops - Butcher Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

I'd been looking for a butcher shop nearby & went here because of reviews. The shop is in a strip mall & is pretty small inside, like 10 people would crowd this place to capacity. The staff are helpful & friendly but it's a bit overwhelming trying to figure out what you want while they're explaining it all. I only got a few things because I was feeling kinda anxious with all the people in there. We got 2 types of bacon to try(1 lbs total), some kind of wagyu blended burger(1 lbs) and a rack of ribs(2 lbs) for ~$53 This place is way more expensive than anything you'll find at grocery stores but it's supposed to be a higher quality. It looks pretty, at least. They serve lunch until 2p some days, so maybe we'll get to try that another time. They have bowls of candy sitting around but I'm not sure if they're for sale or not. They also sell bread, butter, a tiny amount of dessert, wagyu jerky at $50/lbs. Plenty of parking in the strip mall lot. Hard to determine how much it'll cost before you pay, like some items have the weight written & you can calculate with your phone or in your head & some items have nothing so you guess the weight. I couldn't find the price for scallops anywhere, though, not even on the seafood case. They have seasoning for sale but I didn't want to dawdle so I didn't look through it. Maybe next time, I'll get a better chance to just browse. read more

Cannot complain about the quality of the product. Expensive. I repeat: expensive. What sent this review to a 3 star is (1) their "one person in the store at a time" rule, and (2) the very obvious lack of respect with which my 27 yr old son was treated--seemingly intentionally ignored. Not going back. read more

Only takes early orders.... Don't bother trying to walk in and get service Good luck I won't be back read more

Came in on a whim 15 minutes before closing on a Friday. I got lucky that there was only one person in front of me doing a pickup. You probably won't understand why they have the pre-order or reservation system they do until you get in and chat with the folks here. First, it seems like a lot of stuff is going to get cut to order. If you're an enthusiast cook, you'll think you're coming in here for a specific thing and you will browse wanting to leave with more. They also clearly don't want to rush their customers. Come in, chat with them, tell them what you're cooking, and they'll take great care of you. I left with two ribeyes, 3/4 inch thick for a quick cast iron cook. On a whim, with Mitch talking up his salmon, I asked for some cut as sashimi as a treat. Grabbed a pair of thick biscuits and a tub of gravy, and they tossed in some "scooby snack" steak trimmings that became weekend breakfast. Great knowing there's good dry aged beef and some A5 local too. Wonderful local butcher. Excited for my next special occasion cook! read more

The classic tough decision...corn beef or pastrami? No prob..Mitch has you covered both ways!!!

Mitch's Meats and Fish is the real deal. I have had meat from here before but I had never been myself. Mitch was super cool and took time to understand exactly what we we're looking for. Got a massive bone in ribeye to share, delicious twice baked potatoe(also massive) and home made bread. Can't wait to go back. Looking forward to trying the lunch! 4/28/2020 Update: Yes, Mitch is still the man. I have been a few times now. The lady's in front give me a hard time which helps break out the monotony of this virus. I enjoy it. His stock of meat is great and the fish looked amazing. read more

I visited Mitch's Meats & Fish for the first time during the virus scare. They were very careful limiting the number of customers allowed into the store at one time. When I entered the store, Kathy greeted me and gave me a brief tour. She described many of their different products. I was impressed with how neat and clean the store looked. Compared to The Butchers Market down 92 in Woodstock, this store is better organized and much cleaner. After I placed my order, Mitch greeted me at the counter. He was friendly and personable. All of my meat was sealed in plastic wrap and then wrapped again in white butcher paper. I visited this store because I could not find ground beef in any other markets, including Publix, Kroger, Trader Joe's and Target. I think that the product quality is better here, but the prices are definitely higher. read more

Not gonna rip Mitch a new one like many do, but let's just say I'm done trying to buy here. Mitch and his staff are very nice...once you're in the store. But good luck with that. This isn't a place where you can turn to your family on a whim and ask if they "want to do sushi tonight?". Not possible. It is basically only possible to say "want to do sushi in 2 days?" Or wait outside for 3 hours. Tried calling ahead again today one last time b/c the fish is great. No dice. Booked for the holidays. So I went to another fish market down the street for the first time and I'm at home 20 minutes later with fresh fish after a very pleasant experience with the owner. No waiting, no stress, great prices, customer-centric. Good luck in the future. Life is too short for this kind of hassle just for meat/fish. Thank you Yelp for giving customers a forum. Hope I don't hear from the owner about how ungrateful I am. read more

Wow, the way to shop is unique, allowing only one customer at a time. The personal service is excellent and Mitch and Company do not rush us at all. They take their time and make sure they explain everything very well. the meat selection while expensive it's fantastic and the quality is outstanding so it's worth the price, Absolutely unique finds in Roswell and one of the better butchers I've experienced in my life read more

101 reviews and 5 stars? That can't be right because no place is that perfect and no one can appeal to everyone, or can they? You bet your ass someone can, and that person is Mitch, along with his staff. This is my first review since I dropped into Atlanta yesterday, and boy am I glad to give Mitch his 102nd 5-star review! My family decided to Uber here from Buckhead to grab a bite before going for a hike at Stone Mountain. Yes, they are far apart from each other, but I never regretted a moment. I have never tried delicatessen from a butcher's shop before, so I didn't know how fresh everything will be compared to regular delis, and I truly was blown away. The staff were so informative and friendly that you just can't say anything bad about them. They seem to have alot of regulars come through as we watched people walk in and out having small talk with the staff on a first name basis. They are truly a wonderful neighborhood vintage which reminds me of old time movies where neighborhood butcher shops/delis existed. One word of caution is to watch what you order. The sandwiches are gigantic and unless you want to order for lunch and dinner, know how big it is, but Mitch and his staff will tell you that beforehand in case you forget. They let you sample their soup and hot sauces prior to buying as they want your complete satisfaction. We ordered the gigantic wagyu skirt steak sandwich, which is in a class of its own as everyone else pointed out. We also had the seafood chowder which was a delight. The wife ordered mac attack which was a big juicy pastrami. Everything turned out great, both food and service wise. A must stop if you're in the Atlanta area! Bookmark it! read more

My family has been coming here for a bit. My dad is a great cook and loves getting steaks from Mitch. I sure love when he gets steaks from Mitch also. The meat is impeccable quality. I always get the delicious premade grilled chicken which i have eaten in different preparations for every meal of the day (sometimes multiple times per day!) Mitch and Star truly take care of every customer. I will miss this place when I am off to college. read more

Figured I'd stop by today to get a pork butt for the smoker this weekend. No planning ahead I just pulled in and walked in. I was told to go outside and put my name on the list and wait in the car. After waiting over an hour, they had only marked off one of the two names ahead of me on the list. I left. There are a bunch of signs (maybe 6 signs) on the door with rules, including a note saying "respect the way I run my business"- which I felt was a little insulting because as a walk in customer I wasn't fully aware of the commitment on my side (1 hour and counting of waiting). Basically according to the many signs on the door, you're supposed to call ahead days/weeks ahead. But they'll take your name for a walk in though, which is going to take a long time. Just call ahead folks. read more

Best meats any fish in the ATL. Extremely knowledgable and friendly staff. I dont mind paying a few extra dollars for exceptional quality. I auve purchased everything from pork ribs, pork butts, prime rib, wagyu brisket, chicken wings, bison meat, king crab legs, argentinean shrimp, Mitch's house made bacon, prime rib eye steaks, to fresh biscuits and French bread loaf. This us the place to go, hands down. Call ahead if you know exactly what you want, or arrive early as Mitch personally attends to each patron so this is not an in/out quick place, but quality is worth the wait. Here us a picture of Mitch's bacon I candied this weekend. read more

Mitch's Meats & Fish - Butcher Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

I've driven past this place for 2 years, but decided today was the day. I was working from home and showed up at noon. We were greeted by a lady who showed us the ropes. Hubs ordered a pastrami and a corned beef sandwich although she warned him that they were huge sandwiches. And they were. That didn't deter him. He's from NYC and put his stamp on the sandwich. He said it was official. He shared some with his aunt, also from NYC and she was in heaven. I ordered one of their 6 homemade soups and it was amazing! The soups are a little pricey (large is $8) but delicious. They offer free large croutons - which I completely crushed. The biggest bonus of all for me is that they sell bone broth. *insert happy dance* They roast the bones and make it over 3 days. I'm never making my own again. If you've ever done it, it's a headache. I ordered a small for $5 and it was wonderful. They are also a butcher shop. They have cuts of beef, pork, fish, sausages, and a bunch of pre-made options to warm up at home. They also sell marinades, sauces, and more. I'll definitely be back soon. read more

This is definitely an adventure of a sandwich. I'm writing to you the day after eating this monstrosity. I'm still full. I haven't eaten breakfast. This is insane. Mitch's is primarily a butcher shop, but they also do sandwiches. They really focus on customer relationships. Mitch even gives you his direct line if you have a meat emergency, and he'll sell it to you out of the back of the store when they're closed. I didn't even know that you could have such an emergency, but now that I know, I might just plan on making that call. Plus it would be really interesting to buy a lamb shank from a trench coat. If you can feast your eyes on one of these bread/meat monsters, you'd probably notice that it takes a grand total of SIX skewers to hold it firmly in place. Not only that, but they package it in a paper bag that is fit for holding groceries. One sandwich, and a pickle that would normally make about 4 spears. Probably closer to a pool noodle. I had the Pastrami and Rye Sandwich. More appropriately, I had ALL the Pastrami. If this sandwich had been any thicker, you'd probably go into cardiac arrest. This was definitely the right amount. It's a lot, but not so much that you get the meat sweats... that is, if you can spread it out over two meals. That brings me to my second meal. I ate the second half of the Pastrami and Rye for dinner. This time, I felt like it went down much easier. Probably because my stomach was stretched to capacity and could easily accommodate another food monster. I can't stress how amazing this place is. Mitch's is so accommodating. Their staff is hilarious, and they really put an amazing sandwich together. One employee asked, 'can you feel the weight of the sandwich?', which my friend and I thought was more of an existential question than one of substance. read more

Mitch's Meats & Fish - Butcher Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

I was vsiiting my kids in Roswell. Looked up butcher shops and chose Mitch's. I read the rules online and picked up my meat. No issues. However, it was a thouroughly exhausting experience and in my mind completely unnecessary. With all the online high end meat purveyors (I'm an "internet cowboy") there is no reason to purchase meat at Mitch's. In my opinion, the benefit of a local butcher is spotenaety, ease of purchase, camaraderie and sense of community. Mitch's possesses none of these. His meats are good quality. His customer service is not. He reminds me of the Seinfeld episode with the soup N*z!......except with meat. "No meat for you!" I won't be back because it's not worth the aggravation. read more

Stopped in cause it looked like a mom and pop local small business. Well it is. I met Mitch & Star. Star asked what I needed and I mentioned just fish. She showed me the fresh fish. Not a lot but what they have is prepped with care. (Perfectly filleted and wrapped to stay fresh). I picked out some Halibut. Mitch offered portion, seasoning, and cooking tips. Look I've been in hospitality for 45 yrs but I listened and watched closely. Remember I just came in for fish. I was immediately impressed with these two. So I asked Mitch for a ribeye which he cut to my exact specifications. Why...cause that's how they do it. Hand cut to order. They don't have cuts laying around in a case all week. Meanwhile Star Showed me around and introduced me to the various exotic products and premade delicacies. So I got some crab cakes, royal reds, and Oreo key lime pie. Well the Halibut was the best I've had since Alaska and the pie is THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD! This place is very popular so if you don't want to wait on the weekends call in your order during the week and pick it up At your leisure. It's just two hardworking Americans living the American dream with pride. I will definitely return and will let you know how good that ribeye was in my next post! read more

Visited Mitch's for the first time today. I had stopped by several times before, but didn't have time to wait to go in. Honestly, was a little unsure given all the signs and less than five star reviews. Once I got in the store, my view totally changed. Mitch is fantastic and his products are literally the best meats I have seen in Atlanta. Mitch was such a nice guy, totally unhurried, and a brilliant butcher. Walked out with a huge bag of amazing meat and fish, including Australian Wagyu and Grouper fish cakes. Was not cheap, but totally worth it. I will be back, although I will probably pre-order next time. Mitch, thank you for taking the time with us this afternoon, really enjoyed meeting you and hearing your wisdom on top quality meat. Mitch's is not just a butcher shop, it's an experience. If you are patient and get in the store, your view will likely change. read more

Stopped in here to pick-up lunch with a co-worker. I was pleasantly surprised at how wonderful this shop is! So much character inside on the walls. You can spend at least 7 minutes looking at all the cool displays they have. I got the Julia sandwich and it's HUGE! It is beyond delicious. Next time I'm going to try the pastrami....that's what my co-worker got. She only let me have one bite Apparently they have different soups when they offer the lunch menu [wednesday-friday 11am to 2pm] and today I had the Cheesy New York Strip soup. It is OUT OF THIS WORLD GOOD!!! I sampled the chili too - they let you try out the soups in decent sized cups - and I'm definitely coming back for that next time. I'll recommend this place to everyone!! Can't wait to try out the rest of the menu. read more

Mitch's Meats & Fish - Butcher Near Me - Roswell, Georgia

Words don't suffice in how amazing Mitch's is - I'm so grateful to live so close in Roswell! During my first visit I was waiting for my husband to meet me and was given a tour with highlights of the best take-home options. When we got to the meat counter and selected our Prime filets, Mitch asked how they'd be cooked. I gave him a synponsis of my sear-then-bake preferred method and Mitch spent at least 5 minutes giving me pointers. There was a line behind me but it didn't matter, Mitch wanted to ensure I prepared the best possible steak that night - and he was absolutely right. That level of customer service is too far and few between. Meats aside, please, PLEASE do yourself a favor and stop in for lunch between 11 and 2 from Weds-Fri (possibly Tuesday, I'm not sure). Everything is homemade - the sandwiches are stacked with fresh meat and the soups are unbelievably delicious. Even the croutons for the soup are homemade biscuits and breads flash-fried in beef fat. Yall, this place is unreal. read more

There is no way any of these positive reviews are real. To be fair, I never made it inside either. Mitch claims in all his "internet cowboy and GFY" rebuttals that he has all these clients. Yet when I stopped by, he had two clients enter the building over the course of an hour (to which he agrees with on his website and aforementioned "internet cowboy" rebuttals). Mitch claims that he has operated a "successful business" for however many years(one rebuttal said 8 and another said 10) but I watched his rude employee turn down at least four groups while Mitch worked with those two presumed "pre order time slot clients" during the hour I sat waiting. So his business lost four clients while servicing two in that hour. You are right Mitch, most of us don't own butcher shops but even a true "internet cowboy" can see that the math isn't mathing, regardless of what the insane markup of your product must be. If you lose four clients for every two you gain/keep, then you are not running a successful business. The reviews for your business suggest that losing four potential clients per hour is about average for you. All the bad reviews and lost clients are going to catch up to you, Mitch. Fortunately for me and every reviewer alongside me, we won't be around to see it. Please do your worst with your rebuttal, it will almost make it worth the hour I wasted outside your lousy establishment you call a butcher shop. read more
