At one counter we're the butcher seemed to understand my plight aNd recommended that I check out the Big Red Market in Thorold. I did and was I impressed by the cuts of meat readily available. I ended up leaving with a Blade roast, a Beef brisket and a Corned Beef roast from a barrel. Needless to say I'll be back again soon for something else to enjoy making - in 3 days I've already cooked a corned beef dinner and a Chinese Beef Brisket stew with Daikon Radish. The possibilities are wide and varied indeed. Thanks for the great service - Be back soon.

This is a fine dining steak restaurant without the table-clothed tables. Sizable steaks are grilled…read moreover charcoal. They also serve as a butcher shop. They have a Michelin-recommended designation. They also have house-made charcuterie. When you choose a cut of meat, they bring it over to you so you can choose one. They tell you the exact weight (typically 0.5 lb to 1.0 lb) and cost. All meats are cooked medium-rare unless otherwise specified. There are minor changes to menu weekly, and are major changes monthly. There is a chef's table: counter seating for 4 in front of the head chef, Chef Gareth. These counter seats costs a little more. You can see the chef plating the dishes. He is willing to let you photograph and video the plating. I've previously dined here on 2024-11-29 and 2025-06-15. This review is about my visit on 2026-05-30. My mom and I arrived for a late lunch at 14:15. The server told us a steak would take 30 mins because the restaurant is still full. My mom was hungry so we asked about a vegetable side and we were told 5 mins. We were willing to have the vegetable first and then wait for the steak. We ordered the following: 1. Grilled Asparagus ($25). 2. Denver Steak ($47.95 from $70/lb). The asparagus dish tasted good. It consists of asparagus beurre blanc, quanciale (salt-cured meat), and pickled ramps. I've never had ramps before, which are onion-like vegetables, also called wild garlic or wild leeks. The pickling made them the strongest taste on the dish. The Denver cut is one step above a Sirloin cut. I've never had it before so I wanted to try. The Denver is a highly marbled, budget-friendly cut from the animal's chuck (shoulder). This restaurant's Denver ($70/lb) actually more expensive than the Sirloin ($60/lb). It was perfectly grilled as medium-rare with a deep, rich, beefy flavour, and melts like butter. The steak was sliced into thick slices and highly charred on one side. The Denver is typically dense so try cutting it along the grain. You can actually see a few pieces of large salt pieces, so the steak was saltier than usual. I was glad I tried a Denver, and would have it again. As a butcher shop, you can buy various fresh cuts. There are fridges for take-home choices like pork ragu, guanciale, and prime steaks. There is plenty of indoor seating and some outdoor seating. There is very loud music playing in the background making it hard for conversations. There is no free WiFi. The restaurant is wheelchair accessible. There are two gender-neutral washrooms, one of which is wheelchair accessible. There is free parking in their private parking lot and free neighbourhood street parking. Review 2026-098

I've seen lots of videos of Fat Rabbit on social media so was really excited to try it out. We came…read moreon a Saturday night for dinner and were expecting a wait but luckily we were seated right away on their patio with our pup. The patio was right next to a small parking lot and the road but luckily it wasn't too loud. We came here for the cheese burgers but also ordered a few extra items as well. The broccolini appetizer was nice and light and paired well with the sauce. We also ordered a pork chop which was probably my favourite dish of the night. The cheese burger was solid, the beef in mine seemed to be crumbling apart a little but it was still really good. For dessert we shared the sticky toffee pudding. The staff were friendly but we found it a bit slow. It was a bit of a challenge to get our servers attention as well. They did give our pup a fried pig ear as a treat after our meal. Would come back again if I was in the area, especially to try their other meats.

I want to give a big shout out to Richard's Fine Meats in St. Catharines I'm extremely impressed…read morewith how they've handled things and I wish more businesses would adopt the protocols these guys used from the start: 1) Full stock itemized online; 2) Order via phone/messenger; 3)Order is bagged and ready for your pickup; 4) Pick up at the door, without going inside; 5) touchless payments accepted; 6) Acrylic panels at the door help separate the staff from the customers; 6) Still able to flex and make last-minute changes to orders; 7) Giving staff the long weekend off! Well done! Cabbage rolls are awesome. Burgers are fantastic!

So last month I bought a 4+ pound chicken, from the same store, same price per pound. The small amount of meat on it was tough, dry , and the "white" meat was an unappetizing beige colour: obviously an elderly soup chicken. I called the store about it. No sympathy. She just repeated that they all came from the same source. Given these these odds, I won't shop there again!

The steaks and roasts have an incredible meaty flavour which makes me wonder where the flavour goes from supermarket meat? Please take your time when choosing what you put in your body.
