This is a part of Dallas History right here. The service always friendly and fast. You can get wholesale items like Fish Fry, Hot Sauce, and Bar B Que sauce. It is most definitely a part of South Dallas culture. Oxtails, Turkey necks, steaks, ground beef, chicken, fish,bologna, salami, cheese, sous, hot links all can be bought here. The only reason I wont give it a five is I never know the price of the meat! In 20 plus years of living in Dallas I just go and I hope I have enough money! read more

###ZERO STARS### Very disappointed in this "black owned" establishment. I walked in and was immediately greeted with..here comes the 'JiggaBoo' from the black "men" behind the meat counter. They thought they were whispering but I heard them clearly. Please Research how disrespectful and shameful this remark is in regard to another black female and you will understand why I will Never Ever promote this place. In the hood it is and apparently so is the SMALL mentality. read more

I've been going here since I was a kid. The Packing House is a nice place to go for all of your wholesale needs. Their meats aren't bad, the service is speedy, and the actual store/ambiance is decent....I mean it's in like a warehouse. read more

We came here and loaded up on oxtails and turkey necks for thanksgiving. The service was not bad I was served in a timely manner and my meat was cut to my liking. Price wise was perfect. There's places out there that won't overcharge you for oxtails because the price nowadays is ridiculous. I was able to get almost double what I would get at my local supermarket so it's worth the drive coming here. Go early to avoid the lines and crowd. read more

Don't let the area deter you from stepping inside! The Packing House has been around since forever and definitely part of South Dallas's history. The meat is normally cheaper than the supermarket. However, other items in the store are overpriced. Forever my go-to for summer sausage and cheese! read more

These guys are the best! They work hard for the DFW area. People come from all over for meat products! The customers are also friendly. I usually keep small bills for the people hanging out. I let them carry my packages for me. read more

This place is alright if you're looking for the norm, but out of the norm they make no provisions. I wanted some chicken skins, they couldn't make this one time request happen. I turned to them because their ad said that they were a old fashion meat market with hard to find items, trying to find chicken skin is hard to find. But one thing they do stand behind is their customer service. They have a friendly staff, if they don't have something they have a nice way of telling you what they don't have it., and that's all I got to say bout that. read more

Unfortunately I had to update my review to give this location one star because they sold me tainted cold cuts with raw chicken juice all over it and I've recieved food poisoning. For the past week my stomach has been heaving, ive had runny stool and feeling nauseous. I know it was the cold cuts that their stupid worker grabbed with the same gloves he used to grab raw pieces of chicken. I saw him. He did not change his gloves until I brought it to his attention. I was shocked that he did not have enough sense to change his gloves after touching the raw poultry which was wet and dripping with juice. He put the raw chicken juice all over the cold cuts and the pork and beef and everything he was touching. Even after he had thrown away, at my suggestion, the cold cuts pieces at the top he had touched, I could not determine which pieces under this had the chicken juice. So I decided to simply heat the meat. And I am still so damn sick. The guy was a complete idiot and I'm thinking this place did not train its workers on preventing cross contamination. I feel like reporting my illness to the health department. I am so furious. read more

The neighborhood can easily turn you off, but don't let that deter you from this gem. I love to support independently owned places. I was surprised that the meats here are much cheaper than chain grocers. I stocked up and saved cash! Good customer service, too. read more

Always fresh meat. Very pleasant staff. Clean. I like shopping there. Great place to buy your holiday meats. Glad they are still in business. Prices aren bad. read more

If I have to stay in my house for 1 - 2 years, you darn well better believe by the end of this, I will have become the Black male version of "Julia Child". I want to cook all the comfort foods I grew up with and make said foods compatible with a nutritious diet. I have heard about this place ALL MY LIFE. Now that I have time on my hands, let's go! 1. Easy to get to - right off MLK. 2. Know what you want - Read some reviews and know what you want. I came for the the Oxtails. I will be back for the steaks, chops, sausage, and thick cut bacon with the rind. 3. Wait patiently - there could be a line 4. Go home and enjoy your MEAT. Slap that meat on the counter and get to work! read more

One of the BEST places in south Dallas for meat. Today I picked up oxtails, pork chops, links, hog maw, thick cut bacon with the rind, hog head cheese & summer sausage. They also have thick cut t-bones, center cut & boneless chops, fresh ground beef & other stuff. read more

I did not like the fact that I saw the workers standing in the parking lot smoking and kicking it while wearing the same aprons that there working in, and then a fist fight broke out behind the meat counter between 2 of the employees. Sad because the meat is fresh and price is great but unsanitary in my opinion especially in these Coronavirus days. read more

I have read other reviews and I can't help but wonder if we were at the same place Or if I was just there on a bad day. This was by far the most unprofessional nastiest meat market I've ever been to in my life! The guy behind the meat counter that was attempting to help me OMG! he was on his cellphone, talking LOUD, on speaker phone cursing (as so was the person he was talking to. He was trying to talk to me and them at the same time, his phone disconnected twice, he reconnected and tried to use his headset unsuccessfully then used the same dirty, nasty gloves to handle the meat. His mask was below his nose, he was not paying attention to what I was asking for, continued laughing, talking and cursing ON SPEAKER PHONE I was so dumbfounded by what I was witnessing I just walked out, not to mention.....the meat looked old and dried out. If you had a better experience then good for you, however my experience WAS A DAMM SHAME !! read more

One of the best links in south Dallas! What's better than a family run business & treating you like family ! Hand hand !! read more

Packing House Market - Meat Shops Near Me - Dallas, Texas

It's one part butcher shop, one part convenience store, and one part liquor store. The place is completely local, so don't be surprised by the stench of meat that's about to turn. It's famous for its summer sausage, and aside from the grocery items, that's about all that's good to buy. Everything else is kind of questionable. I mean, you would expect the meat case to be refrigerated, right? Theirs isn't. They put whole hens on ice, if that tells you anything. Everything else is laid out on this weird green fabric. You would expect raw meat to be cold, right? Also, shouldn't prepared foods like summer sausage and deli meat be kept away from the raw stuff? Also, the staff is completely unprofessional. I picked up some snacks while waiting for my grandmother, and the girl who checked me out was a complete you-know-what. Didn't greet me, rolled her eyes several times,huffed and puffed, and just seemed generally put out that I'd dared to walk up to her register. The only time the cow said anything was when she snapped at me about signing the receipt. I realize that this place is in South Dallas, but damn. The guys behind the meat counter aren't much better. The one waiting on my grandmother kept begging her to pay him an extra $3-5 (it kept changing) to cut her sausage for her. I mean, really begging, but he was also kind of rude and snappy about it. He insisted that this was the store's policy, but I get the feeling that they just charge people and pocket the money. He wasn't making much sense, so I asked another employee if there was an extra charge for cutting the sausage, and he said it was $3. I just said I would cut it for her at home. If you buy the sausage here, cut it yourself. Don't get roped into paying for something that should be free. Overall, I guess it's worth the money you save for some of the items, but I'm glad we only come here like once every few years. read more

If your looking for fresh meat cut to your liking look no further. I love this place because I can have my Turkey Wings cut to my liking . And the pricing is reasonable. read more

The prices are way too high for the quality of food that they distribute to people and have for sale most of the people do not understand that most of the meat is frozen steel and that is why it weighs so much and you get so little for the price they are wanting us to pay for things read more

Very expensive to be the sole meat provider to one of the poorest communities in the city. VERY DISAPPOINTED and will not spend my money here. I'd rather go to Kroger and know the products are safe to eat and not over priced. read more

Bust out some DJ Kahled's "I'm So Hood"! You will definitely want this song playing in the background as your read this review. As a matter of fact, I'm going to look it up on YouTube so I can listen to it while I write my review. One second.... ok... here we go. The Packing House Market is straight hood and I love it. This place is in the heart of South Dallas, so basically you should adjust your expectations accordingly, but don't think that you won't be able to get quality items. Basically, just park your car and go in. The dudes talking loud at the bus stop are just having a good time and are minding their business, which is what you should be doing too. LOL! Anywho, I ended up at the Packing House with my Mom and a family friend to buy some sticks of salami and summer sausage that they sell there. When I went in, I honestly expected them to just carry meat, but this store is way more than that. It is a total throwback to corner stores that no longer really exist. Any and everything you need can be found in here. Yes, the store is cramp and I did wonder about the freshness of items at first glance, and then I realized that I was just being an effin snob and everything they had was more than up to par on the shelves. If you are expecting your standard organic fare, which is what I typically buy, then you need to readjust and judge on the type of store it is. The meat counter had real butchers who moved fast, was courteous and I like that they allowed for us to pick everything we wanted and made the men wait (like they had a choice... ladies first). The cuts of meat looked good, were a good price, and I like that I could not smell anything off or bloody and the meats were at the correct temperature. The thing that made me love this store was the neighborhood vibe in there. The guys may look a bit thuggish, but don't judge a book by its cover. There are not to many places where a group of guys in front of you will allow for you to check out before them because you are female. Humpf... I see that manners are still alive somewhere. So yeah, the workers may seem a bit hood and gruff, but a smile and asking how they were definitely brought on nice conversation. So I must say that I now understand why people like this place so much. It may not be the prettiest or the fanciest place, but it definitely has some hood charm. :) read more

This place was great! So yes, it is in a not so affluent part of South Dallas, but I was VERY impressed with the freshness of the meats. When you arrive, you can park in the parking lot and expect to see any type of folks waiting on the bus stop or employees taking a "smoke break" on the side of the building. Everyone is harmless. Upon entering the store, yes it is tight and the fresh meats are in front of you with the freezer section across from it. There were 4-5 men behind the counter ready to take our order of anything we wanted from the oxtails, St. Louis ribs (got 2 slabs and they cut the tips off for me), pork breakfast sausage, bacon, ham hocks, smoked turkey legs (everything is BIGGER in TX), pork sausages, hot links (not Chi town style though), summer sausage, bologna, salami, beef liver, calf liver, steaks, all types of chicken cuts, pork chops, roasts, ground chuck, turkey legs & wings. Yes, whoever is waiting on you might be talking on their bluetooth while weighing your meat, but oh well. I would have liked to have seen a few more cuts of roasts & steaks, but not at all a deal breaker. This is also a neighborhood convenience store and my MIL and I didn't buy anything from that part of the store, we went for the fresh meats and we DEFINITELY got what we went for and WILL DEFINITELY GO BACK! The cashier was a very sweet, cheerful, polite young lady with yes, gold fronts and long eye lashes and her Southern hospitality was definitely on point! Their prices are reasonable and comparable to that of any of our local grocery stores but the obvious freshness of the meats, as opposed to pre-packaged options, definitely made it a beneficial trip. If you are looking for a swanky, bourgeois fresh meat place, this isn't it. However, if you are looking for a fresh meat place with good service and great meats and you aren't afraid to go "in the hood", this is it! The gentleman that waited on us inside the store even pushed our cart to the car and loaded it for us (yep, we gave him a tip). :-) Once I run out of stuff, I will DEFINITELY go back and my MIL will go back too! read more

Ridiculously overpriced. If everybody else in town is running spare ribs at $1.79, count on these guys to have them at $2.40. Stupid prices on hamburger, pork loin, steak, you-name-it. Seriously, I think they buy a lot of their meat from retailers and just mark it up about 30% to sell to the poorly-traveled denizens unfortunate enough to live in this neighborhood. It's a food desert. Hey, we're talking South Malcolm X Boulevard! There's no competition and it will be a cold day in hell when Kroger plops a store down here. read more

hi folks ! my name is Steve, and i have been a customer of the PACKING HOUSE since the early 70's. My father and i ran the Comet Coaster at the Fair Park ,when we had parties at the Comet, there was no where else to consider! THE PACKING HOUSE!!!!!!! We liked to go down and visit Wayne in the back and he was always on the phone and hollering out order and case weight's of the meat. Today many years later, THE PACKING HOUSE is a well known source of meat and trimmings for the NASCAR Races, All my friends use the products and they stand behind the quailty! Long Time Customer, read more

Great experience all around clean clean store no foul or odd odor like with Fiesta where you smell the stench of rotten meat. The guys at the meat counter. I live in Collin county but i will drive and load up on meat. Everything was very affordable. read more

Called the store twice today and got hung up on twice - both times on purpose (had to call back the second time to make sure the first time I was hung up on wasn't an accident and Phillip made sure to tell me it wasn't and slammed the phone down again). Didn't even get to ask a question........................WOULD NEVER EVER buy anything here.... so much for southern hospitality!!!! read more
