I had the opportunity this year to experience 3 separate game processing facilities. I have never used a processor until this year due to work/timing etcI had to drop off game. I Dropped off deer at H&H in Meeker. Dropped off Elk at Brothers in Craig. Dropped off deer at Rocky Mountain Meats in Wheatridge. I have to say that I was very happy with the product, turn times, cleanliness and professionalism of H&H as well as Brothers. I can say that I will not be returning to or recommending Rocky Mountain Meats for game processing. With H&H/Brothers they asked when it was needed and met that deadline. Their products came out professionally packaged, weighed (equally) and labeled. Their facility was clean, well organized and friendly staff. I dropped off our meat and picked up the game meat when it was convenient for me the customer. Not the schedule of when they would allow. At Rocky Mountain Meats (RMM) in Wheatridge, they don't have the same level of customer service I had with the others. Perhaps it's that they are so busy they do not need to care, but I dont want to work with anyone too busy for me. First, they misplaced a portion of the deer cut into steaks. They later claim to have found it, but how do we know if that is our meat? Second they took 9 weeks to make sausage. H&H did sausage in 3 days. I did not get sausage at Brothers but they said they could do it in a week or so. Third RMM has terrible hours for drop off and pick up. This falls under customer service. You have to call ahead to see if they are allowing meat, in a tiny window of time. And if you dont not pick up right away they will charge you a storage fee. H&H/Brothers were very flexible and cooperative with this. Fourth, and this is the biggest one to me, the meat from RMM was packaged poorly. Unlabeled and uneven tubes of sausage. I'm guessing what some are. And they are not all in one pound tubes as you would expect, random sizes. A recipe calls for a pound!!! Fifth, so far I have found the sausage from RMM to be under seasoned for what I would expect and what I can compare to H&H and others I have had in my years of eating game. So to summarize, H&H as well as Brothers are great. I do not recommend you take the game you worked hard for to Rocky Mountain Meats for processing. read more

Called them so I don't waste a trip they told me they were accepting wild game drove a hundred eighty miles got there and they told me that they were not accepting meat and I could try tomorrow morning they are a waste of air don't believe a word they say bunch of liar's buy your own equipment and door your self and to think of all the money I paid them have feeling that they're going to have a visit with the health department read more

Had multiple issues with this place. They didn't label my 10% beef fat hamburger vs my 10% pork fat hamburger. On top of that what they did to my meat tastes horribly! Even further they have extremely poor communication and don't stand by the word of their mouth. Process your own meat or take the meat elsewhere, and I've had a lot better experience with meat clever. Seriously this owner treats customers very poorly. Good luck if you bring your meat here... read more

One star is generous, but there was no lower option. Took them forever to process our game, hoping it is truly our animal that was processed, gave me the wrong order upon picking up our meat, and breakfast link sausages are not what they used to be when processed by Wheat Ridge Poultry & Meat. Look for a different option for processing your big game. read more

Strong smell of weed, guy wouldn't let me finish my sentence. Screwed up my order and I came up real short on meat after my elk weighed 345 lbs. My first and last time going there. Bought some T bones and they guy behind the counter was very rude, foul mouthed, and just plain Unfriendly! read more

I quit going to RMM a couple of years ago. My buddies and I took elk there every year for 8-10 years and got the world's best brats and breakfast sausage from the original owners. Recipes have all been changed dramatically, regardless of what they say. Brats are not even close to the same color and taste horrible. Jessica swore in an e-mail they had not changed recipes. Ha! Burger came back in blood-caked packages. Don't waste your time. read more

Last Friday I dropped off 3 javelina at Rocky Mountain Meats. I was promptly met by Benjamin. He was extremely courteous and friendly. I was in and out with my order placed with no problems. No complaints here. read more

I had a good experience last year with my whitetail doe. Brought her in and paid half down (they take credit cards). The guy who helped me was friendly and explained the options. I had hem make sausage, jerky sticks, a couple of roasts, and the tenders. For about $250 I got a good variety of tasty products. The breakfast sausage is very popular, even with my "vegetarian" daughter. I just harvested another whitetail doe that I will be dropping off this weekend. I am hopeful the folks at RMM will give me another positive experience... read more

HORRIBLE IS THE RATING!!!!! I've been going to RMM for many years, loved Francine she was great and knew how to run a business properly! The new lady Jess or Jessica she's very rude, 1st off they quit doing there $150.00 for 300.00 of meat processing, Jess does like $200.00 and get 50.00 free, anyways they have a set time for meat pickup every day is different and nothing for Friday's like a 3 hr window most days!! How lame is that?? Especially when everyone is so busy this day and age, she did a estimate 7 weeks for my processing time it only took a quick 16 weeks!!! I actually got my deer mount back from my taxidermist sooner than my meat. The icing on the cake is she said she called me and I picked up my back straps and tenderloin for 1 elk and 4 deer, I told her I didn't, Nor did I get ever get a call or did I ever pick up my meat! She argued and said she had the notes on a paper and she crossed out section and that means I picked up my order, so I asked to see my signature where I signed to pick up she said VERY RUDELY they don't do signatures, of course not!! Then said I was trespassing and I need to leave!!! Without my backstraps!! Also the person who helped me said I was there largest order of the year like 2200.00 worth of meat processing. NO JOKE! TRUE STORY I'll never be back. After eating some of the meat it's not very flavorful seams like there cutting cost on spices VERY DISAPPOINTED!!! Do not go! Take your meat else where or better yet buy grinder and stuffer and spices do it your self!!! Even if it turns out bad you'll still be better off! read more

I'd go zero starts here if it was an option? Dropped off meat to have $420 of sausage made, paid $210 up front. 6 weeks later they call saying it's ready. Pick-up hours off season suck, especially being I'm an honest hour drive away. The third time they call me and say they really want me to pick it up asap, please call and respond. I finally call to confirm they will be there when I swing by, voice mail full can't leave a message. I drive down there, my meat is gone, they donated it to Colorado Div of Wildlife they claim? They flushed my $210 remaining balance down the toilet just to clear their freezer space during the off-season, nice business skills! Never again. read more

Took over 6 weeks to process my elk Very pricy and waited for 90 mins to drop off my game. 50 percent of my elk didn't get a good seal on the package. Which now is ruined.... just like all the other reviews , go somewhere else.... like Steves meat market or anywhere but here. read more

This place is a joke of a business. I have been a hunter for over 30 years and have taken my meat to many processors. These guys are horrible. Everything they do is bad. Dirty facility and even nastier people. Rude, unprofessional, just an all around horrible place. It would be better tasting and much cheaper for you to buy all of your own equipment and learn how to process yourself. DON'T TAKE ANYTHING HERE. YOU WILL REGRET IT. read more

Since the critical comments I provided months ago, there has been 180 degree turn around. The customer service is awesome and friendly. The product they produce is of high quality. They have placed value in returning customers and there business will benefit from doing so. I love Wheat Ridge Poultry & Meat as well. I drive across down just to buy meat from them. Just ask the staff to pick out your cut of steak and guaranteed it is the best in Denver. Keep up the good work! read more

Wish I would have done some research and read reviews before dropping off an elk for processing. His place is a dump and the service is terrible. The processing took twice as long as promised and they charged me a $50 storage fee since I was out of town when they finally finished and I could not come right away. Furthermore, they require an invoice at pick up or they charge you another fee for looking up your order, what a joke. Furthermore, I have only tried some of their specialty items so far and have been completely unimpressed if not disgusted. Go somewhere else, anywhere else for your big game processing, places like this should not be in business! read more

Stopped in this place today to drop off our Elk. One of the employee's started cussing about a drop off they received from a federal agent. All of us in line could overhear this unprofessionalism and started talking about how unprofessional it was. Most of us stayed in the line until he said F the feds and F the military. Several of us standing in line were Vet's and overheard him say this during his 10 minute tirade. A guy in line spoke up and asked him to please stop cussing and that many of us were Vet's in line. He said F you, you can leave then. So several of us in line did just that and took our business elsewhere...... Between the 10 minute cussing session in front of customers, saying F the military while Vet's were in line wearing military shirts and then telling us to go elsewhere after confronting him if I were you I would avoid this place!! Very rude and unprofessional! read more

Dropped off our deer end of October and were told "10 days to two weeks to process." That sounded reasonable. IT HAS BEEN SEVEN WEEKS. I'm glad the guy from November 9 who had a bad experience went someplace else. He probably is enjoying his game by now. We still don't have ours. NEVER AGAIN. read more

This place was good once, but not anymore. According to their own website, a 400 lb cow elk oughta yield 135 lbs edible meat. I have always brought home about 135 lbs frozen, wrapped from a nice cow elk. But this time, my son and I both got less than half of what we expected, and the owner seems like a non-hunter and is clueless about field care and such, and repeats himself over and over with a line of bull about what coulda happened to the meat. And I saw a meat cutter leave at quitting time with a big, heavy-looking canvas bag. I used this place a lot in the past, but never again. read more

I dont understand why there are so many negative reviews of this place. I brought my three year old son along with me to drop off my buck. Although their was a short line (something to be expected during huntung season) I didnt wait much more than 15 minutes. The lady who helped us was extremely friendly and polite and even kept my son busy with crayons and toys while we talked business. My buck was small with a hanging weight of 74 lbs. I chose to have it cut into burger, steaks, and 10lbs of summer logs and was told that my burger and steaks would be ready to go in one week. Four days later I was called and told that my burger/steaks were ready for pickup. Each pacakage of steaks weighed about a half lb and was vacuum sealed in plastic. The burger was ground into nice 1 lb chubs. I recieved 36 lbs of burger/steaks from this small deer which was more than what I expected. The steaks have been fantastic.. All the fat is trimmed away and each loin steak is butterflyed open. I will be coming back to this place again. They literally have one of the cheapest processing fees in the Denver area and they do a better job than Steves Meats. read more

Owner is a jerk, took in an antelope and an elk. Asked for 10% fat in 5 lbs of ground elk, got whole elk ground with 10% fat in it. One of the roasts was full of hair and dirt. Just opened a pack of ground antelope, 3 antelope hairs in it. Meat was brought in on the bone and in quarters. Was told I would get 1 lb packages, 22 lbs of antelope came back in 13 bags, not even close to 1 lb bags. Afraid to see what I will find as I go through a years worth of meat. Addressed it with owner, Steve, and his wife, Francene. She said there was nothing they would do, but if I wanted I could talk to Steve, but "he's not somebody you want to talk to and he won't help either." Tried twice to talk to him, he gave me 5 lbs of ground sirloin that I told him I didn't want, he put it in my car and said, "give it to a friend, I don't care, I don't want your business." I hope he suffers for his business practices and more boycott his shop. read more

Rocky Mountain Meats. Rudest, most hateful service staff I have ever encountered. This is not the place to do business. But see for yourself. It will only take once to see it. Really, don't waste your time here. There are other meat providers and game processors nearby that love what they do and want to help you with pleasure. Try Meat Cleavers. read more

We are going on NINE WEEKS since we dropped off our elk and have still not received our meat. The employees are EXTREMELY rude about being so behind. They are non-responsive, closed with no notice, and don't seem to care about keeping any business for the future. We will NEVER EVER bring an elk back here again. Worst business ever! read more

They do not even deserve one star... They are the absolute worst place to take game to have processed. Took a small deer in on January 5, 2016, we were told it would be ready in one month. Called back today and were told "you have a small order, but it's going to take probably another month to process". I said oh no, it's already been a month. The guy on phone told me 'they had a fire 5-6 months ago and lost a smoker" That is not our problem that they had fire and lost a smoker. They should tell people they can't handle the business. They sure didn't hesitate about charging our card and getting their money right away. read more

Unprofessional... they charge triple the price of what it should cost and act like they are doing you a favor. No guarantees I even got my game meat back. this is the last time I will be doing business with these pompous overpriced jackasses. read more

I recently took in some boned out wild turkey and pheasants to be processed into sausage and jalapeno sticks. They said it would take 4-5 weeks and we all agreed that would work since in 3 weeks going on a multi week RV vacation. A day before we left for vacation the business left an ugly phone message indicating the game was done and if we did not pick up the processed wild game in 4 days a $25.00 a day penalty would accrue. Since we were gone the next day we had our daughter go over to pick up the sausage and sticks. The people there were extremely rude, and said since our daughter was 5 minutes after their supposed off season hours, they would not give her the game. They also put her thru the ringer by asking for formal receipt and proof she had legitimacy in picking up the game. My daughter indicated she was not about to come back and for them to simply cooperate, which only by assertiveness they agreed to, and ultimately gave her our meat. They also said the $25 a day threat was simply a lie to get folks to come soon to pick up meat. The end result is our daughter picked up the meat, which now was marked on every package as 'goose'. I have no idea if our sausage and red pepper sticks are even our pheasant and turkey. On a 10 scale this business gets a -5. Kent I. read more

I have been using Rocky Mountain for 8 years, and it has not been the same since the parents retired. The service has been terrible, the attitude of the staff is arrogant and dismissive as if the customers are bothering them. This past year, I understand that they had a fire and lost freezers, smokers, and storage, and I am sorry for this, but it does not excuse treating thier customers with disrespect. Even if I was to disregard this matter, there is no excuse for processing my order wrong 2 years in a row. I will never use them again. read more
