Ah, the candy store! I love a good butcher shop. So many wonderful items for the grill and table. Readfield is a Bryan/College Station staple offering Prime and Choice grades of beef. I usually buy New York strips, Ribeye Steaks and Brisket. I love looking at all of the cuts in the meat counter. They also have a great selection of sausage. The Jalapeno & cheddar is my favorite! The service is always friendly and the store well stocked. My last trip was for New York strip steaks. I also love their house blended rubs! There's almost nothing you can't find here. They have everything from duck to Turducken. Did I mention the rotisserie chicken or divine homemade pies? Peach & Apple all delicious. Whenever I'm in town, I almost always visit Readfield to make something delicious for the family! read more

I recently visited Readfield Meats & Freezer and unfortunately had a very disappointing experience. The customer service was unfriendly and unhelpful from the moment I walked in. I had a few basic questions about their products and pricing, and it felt like I was inconveniencing the staff just by asking. There was little effort to explain options or provide recommendations. The store itself also seemed disorganized and not as clean as I would expect from a meat market. The display cases didn't look well-maintained, and some products appeared poorly labeled, making it hard to tell what I was purchasing. On top of that, the pricing didn't reflect the level of quality or service provided. I expected better overall professionalism and attention to detail. Based on this visit, I wouldn't return or recommend it to others unless significant improvements are made in customer service and store upkeep. read more

I was starving on a cold and rainy day. I bought a rotisserie chicken and took it back to the office, where I devoured it in one sitting except for half of the breast. It was so good. Their chicken salad sandwich is also extraordinary read more

Good service but outrageous price to process deer. 1000 dollars for one deer not worth it at all. Great meat taste good just be ok with spends that much read more

The staff is always friendly and nice they have a selection of food items. I love the different pasta options

I usually just go there for the muffalettas, which are pretty good, but it looks like they have a nice selection of meats and other food items. read more

Used to be a great place. Been shopping there 40+ years. Today was the last time. Got home and realized that on a 10 lb order of skirt steak that I was overcharged almost 50%. Went back to the store and head butcher looked me square in the eye and said that the skirts trimmed off 50%. He's a liar and a thief. Never go back. Too bad. They used to be so daggum good. Can't tolerate liars or thieves read more

Awesome selection of fresh, fresh beef. Also full service professional butchers who cut to order. read more

They consistently deliver when it comes to their steaks. They take pride in their product and are willing to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction. I have been a customer for around 4 years and I have never had a bad experience. read more

Love readfield! It's a great go to for meats! We love their bacon wrapped filets-- also their peppered bacon is delicious! We have even done their smoked whole turkey for a Christmas party and people were seriously raving about it! Several people said they don't usually like turkey but they liked this one! It's a great local place to get meat and all sort of things! We also have enjoyed their olive bread-- they often run out but apparently you can call and have them reserve some. This local place is a true gem! Definitely recommend for your meat needs- only wish it was closer to my house! read more

Great deli/grocery store/butcher shop! I love stopping in there for their beef jerky and their sausage wraps! I have also picked up a few bottles of wine from there. I believe it is worth checking out! . . . Great location. Great staff. Deli counter. Meat market. Family owned. read more

This place has some really good meats and other options as well! If you are in the area or driving thru, stop by and get their BBQ seasoned link sausages. I put them on the grill for a potluck, and everyone raved about how tasty they were! When I stop by, I won't leave with less than a case!! read more

Teres Major and ribeyes were top shelf. Their homemade jalapeño cheese summer sausage was very good. Their beef and pork and jalapeño link sausages were very tasty. Friendly counter service and cashiers from all but LJ is the best. I'll certainly return. Edward H read more

It's been awhile but been in business as long as I can remember ! They will tenderize your meat while ya wait ... best fajita meat I ever had was from them ..: had those for daughter's graduation party and was a hit... had over 100 well fed kids read more

Amazing meats! Great Service! Love the store they have in the shop as well! Halal chicken!!

Best deli in town, great place to buy your meats and other ingredients. Ask for a hero, they make them perfect.

I'm giving 5 stars for the variety of meats you can find here. They have duck (legs and breast), frog legs, lambs (lots of cuts), quails, some beef cuts hard to find in regular grocery stores, all kinds of sausages, etc. People here are also super nice and helpful. read more

Readfield Meat Market Has Been A Dependable & Friendly Community Place Of Business Ever Since My Family Moved To Bryan, Texas In The Summer Of 1979 From Colorado & Eventually To Caldwell, Texas!!! Now That I've Moved Away From The Area Every Time I'm In The Area I Always Stop In To Give Them My Business Or I Order Their Famous Readfield Summer Sausage Online read more

Beautiful display case and personalized service. I bought some extra thick pork chops and some boudin. They both looked good, as did all of the other meat in the case. This looks like the "go to place" for high end meat in BCS! read more

Great made to order sandwiches for a quick lunch. Sausages are amazing- we love the pan sausage, Italian sausage, and fresh Polish sausage. So good. The meats are always fresh, and the people are so friendly. read more

every time i purchase here, the customer service & employees are so very rude & unhelpful. Meats are satisfactory. Today I picked up an order. "Maria" was the cashier. Didn't greet me. just stood there & looked at me. Acted like it was a major problem going to get my order. I don't think she said one word to me. Not a thank you. No "come back soon". It was like I was doing them a favor by shopping there. lol. No more readfields for me. I'll stick to Rosanthals read more

Readfield's smoked sausage is the best in Texas hands down. Better than Slovacek, better than Kiolbassa, and definitely better than HEB. The taste is good, and it bar-b-ques perfect every time. I also like their beef jerky and summer sausage too. They make the perfect snack. Readfield has been around for many years. It's a tradition in my family; my parents buy meats from here. I have them bring me some smoked sausage every time they come visit me in San Antonio. Readfield's smoked sausage is probably the only thing I miss about Bryan/College Station. 5 stars for Readfield Meats It's a Bryan Texas legend. read more

The absolute best summer sausage I have ever tasted... I told my husband that its the best in the world! Whenever we visit from Phoenix, its a must that we indulge in this most tastiest of meats! read more

This location has a great butcher shop with terrific people and excellent hamburger meat; it's so good that my husband knew at first bite when I served a hamburger pattie from somewhere else. I now only purchase from Readfields. They sell quite a bit at their deli counter, though I don't really shop for deli meat. Also have a lot of uniqe other packaged foods as well as frozen cuts of meats, sides, etc. read more

This is a full service meat market, butcher shop, and meat storage. I've had friends store venison here after a hunting trip, and they even had the butchers make some of it into some fresh venison sausage. Yum. The store out front has a small selection of sauces & rubs, and a few frozen foodservice exotic items-emu, duck,... They have a sausage counter, and a small butcher's meat counter. But they didn't have any bison-damn. I did leave with some of their excellent pork sausage. read more

This place is like taking a walk into the past. It is such a neat place to go on Thanksgiving or Christmas eve as everyone is so festive and friendly. The Meat counter is always a great place to go and get your favorite cut of meat and have it cut as thick as you want it. The spiral cut hams are absolutely the best anywhere! I highly recommend Readfield's anytime of the year! you will not be disappointed. Dave Kissel read more

I came in to get s sandwich and ended up finding a real adventure in eats. I got beautiful pecan halves fresh this year, I also found so many other good items for the near future. The lunch was great ! For 5.99 a huge cup of tea with a sandwich and chips. Any kind of sanwhich and choice of bread. Im going back for some thanksgiving casseroles and I still have a beautiful prime sirloin steak to enjoy. I totally love the place and it's a good thing I'm on a senior budget. I would buy many items there, plus they are so courteous !! I definetly recommend this wonderful place as the best meat store+ , here! read more

My husband insists I over-reacted with my first review, so I will soon be going there again and giving them another chance, so on my husband's insistence that they are better than my one poor experience I am upgrading my review and will upgrade it again once I make my next purchases. read more

One of my favorite places to shop in town. The quality of meat here is first rate, and if you need something special, the butchers will get it for you. I had them special cut two t-bones for a friend and me, and I can't say enough good things about them. In the freezer section are all manner of things worthy of your attention, such as rabbit, quail, various halal meats, etc. The canned and dried goods have an Italian and Middle eastern bent to them, and there are really interesting things here. The bread is among the best in town...maybe the best in fact. A small but very good selection of wine rounds off the inventory. Almost always busy for a reason. read more

Solid meat market with reasonable prices. Many less common proteins that can't be found at grocery store available (lamb, rabbit, duck, frog). House made sausage is just ok. They'll grind up cuts for burger, chili, etc. Big fan of their beef bones to make soups and stocks. My go to meat market. read more

Finally had an opportunity to stop in as I was looking for a pork shank as part of a Czech dinner I was preparing. This is a nice find and more upscale than my local butcher in Weimar, TX (Kasper's Meat Market). A nice selection of meats and an interesting deli of sorts. It is rare that you can buy bacon by the slice or choose the amount of chops, so a great way to get what you want. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The butcher I dealt with has a Czech background and come from the same same Czech area of Texas. We swapped ideas on how to prepare the pork shank and also through in a great Czech red cabbage recipe. Great experience and I'll be back. read more

Best value lunch meal! You get a drink, made-to-order sandwich, and a bag of chips for about $5!

BCS best meat market! Besides their great cuts of red meat, their chicken is awesome! You must check out this old Bryan favorite! We love it! Alan & Nancy Young read more

I've driven past Readfields for many years. I was needing quality meat for a dinner and decided to stop by. I was impressed by the knowledge and customer service that I received from the moment I walk in! Prices seemed fair. They also have products that aren't available at large grocery chains. I was in and out very quickly though I did take time to browse the refrigerated section. Excellent experience and I will definitely go back read more

Same old sausage and marinated meat plus sandwich place. What a let down. They only custom cut hanging beef as special order. Most everything comes precut in boxes like Kroger. Nice people though and a cool sign out front. read more

Pre ordered TWO special cuts for pick up a week out. Person taking order was rude and dismissive, arrived as designated to pick up and watched as my order was sold to the person in front of me. I then was told my order was about to be brought to a register, and so it was, half an hour later, and it was wrong, so back it went for another 30 minutes. Instead of the TWO cuts I ordered, I received one HUGE cut. Reluctant to stand yet another hour, I settled and went to check out. Was quoted $87.42 originally, then 68, then finally, over 100. One apology was given by the actual butcher who also took it upon himself to bring the order to the register and help me out. Very disorganized, no customer service or incentives were given although at that point the lack thereof was definitely not unexpected. Should have called ahead to Briarcrest Kroger's, they will do special cuts and orders. Wish I had known that for this year. Live and learn. read more

I prefer to buy meat from what I believe is a more local source; Readfield's meats come from Waco Meat Company. In addition to the fresh meat market, Readfield's prepares brown bag deli sandwiches + drink + chips, which are a great deal. Then there is the chicken salad, potato salad, macaroni salad, frozen stuffed fish filets, home-grown tomatoes in season, house-brand sausage, bacon sliced to order, hormone free meats ... whew! (It's a great place to shop.) read more

Love love love this butcher shop! The staff is knowledgeable (I used to work at one in college) and they have super high quality products at fair prices. They also offer to cryovac items which is the best method for food preservation for freezing (for free!). Everyone is friendly and helpful and if/when I have to move away from Bryan/College Station, I will truly miss this gem. Much better quality meat than HEB/Kroger. read more

Best place to get fresh meat. Old timey feel!!! Good sandwiches too!! Stuffed pork loin is awesome. You can't beat the jalepeno cheese sausage. read more

Making life simple by shopping at Readfield's. I have been able to boycott HEB and other store buy using them and it is so much easier and faster. You don't have to stand in line for 30 minutes to check out and the products that they carry are a much higher grade. I have never gotten anything bad from this store. Meat is always great. Lunch specials are reasonable and the food is always fresh. Friendly staff to help you with any questions. read more
