We recently asked our friendly butchers to introduce us to something we hadn't previously tried here. I grew up rurally and had never eaten pork chops bought from a store until moving away. Same with ribs. My father, a Journeyman electrician had friends who farmed and sold their own pork. None better! Rusty Nail's pork chops, especially their porterhouse cuts, are even better than the ones I recall so fondly from my youth. Tender, perfectly marbled and flavorful like none other. They're not "grocery store" cuts. We also bought a rack of baby back ribs. My least favorite step in smoking them is removing their membrane. Not only was this (attention to detail!) step already completed, they were fall-off-the-bone highest quality. So good! Unlike when I was young these chops can be grilled to medium or medium-well if preferred, preserving their juices and maximizing flavor. These too are now on our dinner favorites rotation. Simple seasoning with salt and pepper is all that's needed, although next time we're trying their seasonings. We will continue shopping here regularly. We've referred every friend who enjoys value and great meals too--in other words we have suggested to everyone we know to give these great people (and local ownership!) a try. Without fail our friends are truly grateful. read more

Rusty Nail Meats - Porterhouse Prime pork chops. Incredible quality and value. - Butcher Near Me - Scottsdale, Arizona

We are really lucky to have this butcher in the area. Pros 1. Prime beef 2. Wide variety; everything from chicken to alligator (yep, you read that right) 3. Very helpful and friendly employees 4. The loaded and twice baked potatoes when they don't have much pepper (just a personal preference). Just reheat slowly in foil until soft and melty. Trust me. They are delicious. If you want one with less pepper just choose one with less black specks. 4. Amazing price when they have a sale. For their anniversary they had 10 pounds of prime beef (their choice) for $110! Phenomenal price and great cuts were in my mystery box. Cons 1. Save your receipts just in case you need to return something. I bought two whole chickens that ended up smelling off/bad (rare instance that this happened here). I was able to return them because I luckily still had the receipt. Wouldn't have been able to return nor exchange without the receipt. read more

This place had the kindest staff! They were well-stocked, incredibly knowledgeable, and so friendly. The shop was also very clean and had a great selection of products. We're excited to try the meats we purchased and will definitely be back. Highly recommend! read more

I would recommend the meat shop to anyone looking for some fresh meats or even exotic meats in the freezer section. They had everything from bison, elk, venison, alligator, frog legs, to even ground camel! The frozen fish section was also superb: Lake Michigan fish, crawfish, Dover sole... I was mostly just browsing, but the butcher tried to help me with anything I needed to be cut. The store was clean and smelled fresh! read more

I'm making osso buco for a dinner party. I bought 3.5 lbs of veal shanks here and am VERY disappointed. What I got was the butt end of the shank which was ALL bone, joint and grizzle. You should be ashamed to sell this 'meat' for $31.99/lb! read more

impressed with the quality of the meats and the selection available. Everything looked fresh, and the staff were helpful when answering questions and giving recommendations. Prices were a little higher than expected, but the quality made up for it. Overall, a really solid experience and I'd come back again. read more

I had heard good things about this place and my experience was amazing. First time in and just checking it all out when greeted warmly by a really nice person and asked how they could assist. I just needed a couple of nice cuts of meat for a Saturday night dinner at home for 2. They showed me some selections and we settled on a couple of fine looking prime NY Strips. I cooked them carefully on the grill and served with a simple compound butter. OMG!!! The most incredibly tender, melt in your mouth delicious bite of meat that I could remember. Sooooo wonderful! You must go visit them! read more

Best beef and Italian sausage in town!! The people are friendly, helpful and professional!

Got some steaks about a month ago, and again went today. The staff is friendly and the meat quality is top notch. The Scottish salmon also looked absolutely incredible but we didnt get it this time because we wouldnt have been able to cook it until 3-4 days from now. That is definitely our next item to purchase. Today I ended up getting 2 prime ribeyes, 2 American Wagyu steaks, Beef Jerky, and Breakfast Sausage + 1 polish sausage. Super happy with my experience from them. read more

Great butcher shop in central Scottsdale. Lots of selection, clean, friendly staff. Easily located in a strip mall. The only down side to the Rusty Nail is the price. It is expensive. read more

I stumbled on this gem last week. The customer service is great and they have a phenomenal selection of hard to find meats like Wagyu beef, veal, and rack of lamb. On the shelf they offer a variety of local pantry items. It was hard to make a choice at this place! I'll be heading there again soon for my holiday prime rib. Enjoy! read more

The service was great and the store is very clean. They have a very nice selection of meat and fish. If you need something special or a little different, it's best to call beforehand and they can bring it in. I didn't do that but they were helpful enough to guide us to another place that did have it. I appreciate the honesty and collaborative effort to assist us. I highly recommend Rusty Nail meats. read more

Visited Rusty Nail Meats for the first time today as we were visiting friends in the Scottsdale area. Our friends just moved into a home near RNM and it was time to break in their new kitchen! We rolled into RNM and picked up two large boneless ribeyes, filet mignon, salmon filet, and four different sausages. My buddy smoked all the items on his smoker. Rusty Nail Meats has an arsenal of juicy cuts and even a large meat ager behind the counter with some holy grail aged cuts on display for you heavy hitters who make it rain!!! If you looking for choice cuts and are around N Scottsdale Rd and E Shea Blvd get into Rusty Nail Meats and finish the summer strong!!! read more

Have yet to try the meats I just purchased, but plan to cook the turkey up tomorrow (Thanksgiving). This is the first time I have been here and I will definitely be coming back!

Rusty Nail has the best prime meat that we have ever experienced in our 30 years of living here in the valley. In addition, they fly in fresh Scottish salmon three times a week. It is one of the few places that you can get veal, scallopini or veal chops. The staff is friendly and the orders are always done perfectly. I would highly recommend this amazing store to anyone in the area. There are two locations are easily accessible to Scottsdale residents. read more

Seriously - where to start... First, the staff: the RNM team is friendly, knowledgeable and fun! I know kinda odd to mention, but they have been my go-to spot since opening because I can order ahead or stop in. Second, the meat: excellent quality hands down! I know we've been locked down, but I haven't missed steak because I can get the best quality meats here and cook them perfectly at home. I've tried beef, chicken, and pork and have never been disappointed! Third, the extras: must haves - a bottle of the RNM Steak Seasoning, the twice baked potatoes, the jalapeños and the bacon wrapped asparagus!! RNM also supports local businesses like Sonoran Pasta and Noble Bread. You will NOT be disappointed. Ask questions. Try new things. Most importantly - support your local butcher!! read more

Rusty nail is the best butcher in the valley! The staff is super friendly/knowledgeable and the cuts of meat never disappoint!

Great old school butcher/meat shop. Of course it's expensive, it's North Scottsdale. But you get what you pay for with meat so I'm ok with that. Clean store. Friendly employees who always say "welcome in" when anyone opens the door. We need more places like this. read more

My wife had been in to shop at Rusty Nail Meats before, but this week was my first time. Rusty Nail is located in the center on the SW corner of Scottsdale Rd and Shea Blvd, just around the corner from the BevMo in the same center. When I first walked in, I was struck with 2 things...the place was immaculately clean and everything was very well organized in the display cases. The staff was very attentive about asking me if I needed any help, but didn't bug me while I was looking around. When I had a couple of questions and needed to make my purchase, they were right there. For the record, I am very particular about my meat and seafood. I don't mind paying a little more for good quality ingredients. All of the meats in the case looked amazing and very appetizing. I could have easily spent a couple of hundred dollars stocking my freezer. The good news is that the Rusty Nail is close enough to where I live and so conveniently located, I don't have to "stock up". I can visit them for the week's shopping and also see what they have that might be especially fresh or interesting. Also, their seafood looked awesome. In many markets, the quality is hit or miss, so I usually end up letting what looks fresh and good drive my selection. No such issue at the Rusty Nail. It all looked fresh and delicious. I was also pleasantly surprised by the prices. Nothing was out of line with any of the other premium markets in the area. In some cases, their prices for prime meats were as good or better than the price for choice cuts of beef at other markets. While I only ended up walking out with a couple of NY Strip steaks (which were beautiful, by the way), I will definitely be going back to the Rusty Nail. Great meat and seafood, good prices, great customer service...what's not to love? Just a quick final note, I grilled the NY Strips I bought last night and made a green brandy peppercorn sauce for them. OMG, the meat was delicious. It had a wonderful beefy flavor and a nice chew (we do medium-rare). I was VERY happy with the choice I made at the Rusty Nail. Folks, if you haven't been to see the nice people at Rusty Nail Meats...do not delay. Make it a destination for your meat and seafood shopping. You will be very glad you did. read more

I came to Rusty Nail the Saturday before Valentine's Day and I thought for sure they would have been picked clean but they had an abundance of great meat still available. I got 2 filets and the staff was very helpful in terms of best way to cool them on a Traeger. These filets were probably some of the best and most tender I've ever had and probably the best Steak I've ever grilled. read more

Be careful here!! I came in to purchase some steaks and saw they had dog food as well. AWESOME!! Grabbed a few dog containers and asked an employee, "this is such a great deal! Is this normal?!" And his response was to snatch all of the containers from me and double check the price with his manager. The manager then re-priced everything which raised the price on all three containers!! Sucks when I pay for an employees mistake. read more

Rusty Nail Meats is an amazing spot! You really feel like part of the family when you walk in, the staff and owners are always so friendly and helpful. Every time I get meat from here I am obsessed with the quality. All of my best meals have been because of the meat from here. If you're in the area be sure to stop in for their incredible meat and rubs! read more

Poor customer service. I called in advance about purchasing Beef Femur Bones sliced the long way (Canoe Cut). The employee said they had 1 package in stock and would cut additional femur bones if I wanted more. I drove 12 miles there, and when I wanted to purchase additional femur bones, they said they would not cut them in half until the next day. They should have told me that they wouldn't cut them that day when I told them I was on my way in. read more

The place was so clean that you could probably eat off any surface! (I know it's an exaggeration, but point still the same) Staff was super friendly and fast with the rest of the line. Great quality meats and fair prices. Would highly recommend this place to anyone!! read more

Wasn't impressed. Wanted to be so bad, since supporting small, local, businesses is my jam, baby! But, just didn't get what is so special here? The meat was ok. Good selection and inventory, yes, but the quality just didn't taste superior from any chain grocers (imo). There is no labeling from who, what, where meats were sourced (ie: local farms & locations). Clean, yes. Plentiful availability of all types and cuts of meat, yes. (chicken, pork, beef, jerky, lots of sausages, seafood, salsas, buns, prepared sides) I wasn't looking for bison or other game meat, so can't comment on that. Staff, my own personal interactions, never smiled or had recommendations or input to their selections. Maybe I came in on a bad day (Saturday) and everyone was annoyed to be working? Maybe they are secretly getting their product from Safeway across the street? Maybe I am totally biased and a complete meat snob because I was 100% lucky to have past endeavors with small farms in CO providing multiple outlets to supply my carnivorous needs? I just question what really is the hype? I am so sorry to write this for Rusty Nails, but hopefully I can update this for a future review after attention to detail is throughly reset by the owners during their annual business investment evaluations?.... read more
