So I was just breezing through some reviews and noticed that I've never reviewed Mckinnon's Market…read more So here's a quick overview of this fabulous small butchery. I've actually been a customer at McKinnon's going back all the way to the 80s. Back in the day my dad and I used to drive over to Everett and get truckloads full of meats for our barbecues. We roll up with a truck loaded up with ice. We used to purchase about 15 pork roasts 50 to 100 pounds of hamburg, same for chicken wings, sausages etc. as we used to have huge Fourth of July parties with approximately 400 people at our house and we purchased all the meats here. Always a good experience, always good quality never any negativity at this store. Onto the present I still currently stop in a couple times a month to pick up a porterhouse or some of their specialty marinated meats. They also have killer homemade deli roast beef behind the counter for sandwiches. As most markets, they have the miscellaneous, a little vegetable section, some dry goods, etc., etc. but I still consider this a butchery. They have fabulous meats, chickens etc. go by you might get lucky with a special. There's about 8 or 10 offstreet parking spots so hopefully you get lucky and get one. If not, wait about five minutes circle the block and one will open up. FYI, parking on Broadway you do need to pay the meter. The staff here are either seasoned veterans or high school kids all which are very respectful and helpful. Check them out for your next barbecue or if you're just in the market for a protein, you'll probably be a customer for life.

Miss marked obviously, but my point is you can always get a great find if you know where to look. The packaged fruit, huge portions for the price. My only negative is the take out... Hit or miss. A nice verity as a meat market, limited stock on everyday pantry items.

Went here trying to find a small pork leg/shoulder (pernil) for my latin xmass dinner. To my…read moresurprise I did find out what I was looking for AND was amazed by the freshness, variety and prices of the meet. Para los latinos aquí: pueden ir a este lugar si están buscando cortes de carne específicos! Muy frescos y buenos precios. Highly recommended

This is my go-to place for grabbing fresh meat with decent prices. They also carry pork bellies…read morewhich other stores don't usually store. I like that they also have fresh cheese, veggies, and some misc items which are super helpful for last-minute bbq sessions. Hopefully they stay open as they always left me satisfied with their meat selections!

Since I need to shop closer to home and know the quality of the meat, I placed an order in June…read more I placed another order for 7/4, and for meals during July. Everyone really enjoyed the sirloin tips, and I'm glad to have (re) discovered The Meat Market. RBR

It's a place similar to the one in my childhood. They take cash and credit cards. They often have neighborhood Italian American free newspapers available to read in the store/and or take home. I highly recommend this butcher. It is very well known in the North End.

I enjoyed coming into their storefront. It's a beautiful day so they have a sausage cart outside…read morefeeding the local fire department, workers, residents. I'd say pleny of parking. I parked in a number spot and didn't have an issue as I was in and out, but the non numbered spots were full. When I walked in there was a couple freezers on the left and some fridges at the end and then a big old case of marinated meats. I was just going to get some frozen baguette breads for $7 but the meats looked too good to give up so I got some garlic & herb chicken thighs and mediterranean chicken breast ($8 each) Was checked out by wonderful ladies and can tell it's family oriented and cares about helping people out. Though they are selling at stop and shop I would prefer to go into their store front. Even though the hours are a bit early 7-3.

I love this place. The meat is fresh, and while there's often a language barrier between me and…read morethe butcher, I always end up with what I need. Do yourself a favor and get yourself the sausage here-it's all meat and not a lot of fillers, and different varieties (chicken, pork) are $3.99 a pound. They have various meats marinating as well that I haven't tried. I have purchased beef ribs here and they were a fraction of the cost of what they would have been at a regular grocery store and no where as fresh. The butcher always seems to be the same gentleman whenever I go in and he's always very welcoming and smiling. The rest of the grocery area is great-it's really clean and well stocked and the products are well presented. If you like Coca Cola made with real sugar versus corn syrup, they sell it in glass bottles, as well as a large variety of other imported beverages and products. They have a small amount of produce, and it's all fresh and decent as well. The counter staff is really friendly as well. I whole heartedly endorse shopping here!

This is a great, clean butcher shop with friendly staff…read more As noted by other reviewers, the butcher is not strong on English, but he IS friendly. I have studied a little Braz Portuguese, and I can tell you a little goes a long way in winning his friendship. If you go in, try saying "bohm jee-ya" (mornings) or "boa tar-jay" (afternoon/early evening). Thank-you is oh-bree-gah-to (if you are a man) or oh-bree-gah-ta (if you are a woman). My Portuguese fell short in getting exactly what I wanted, but he was prepared: he called over the pretty cashier, who is fluent in English, and happy to help. The steak I bought was trimmed BEFORE weighing according to my specifications. It was excellent on the grill. And it wasn't all that expensive for a nice steak.

I visited the butcher shop twice now, but have bought several things on each trip. Parking can be a…read morechallenge in many parts of Lynn, but this store has plenty of parking right outside on the street The shop itself is bright and clean. The displays make it easy to see the selection. When you walk in, the owner gives you a warm greeting. He's happy to walk through the cuts with you and talk about how they can be cooked. A quality of the meat that I have purchased have been excellent. Beef, chicken and pork were all great. The sausages are delicious, and I especially want to point out that the Texas red hot beef sausages, packed just the right amount of punch. I also really enjoyed the in-house cured pancetta. I will be definitely stopping in quite a bit as grilling and smoking season kicks into full gear

Okay, you first walk in and you see weird stuff like goat and sheep's heads. You smell the meat…read more The atmosphere is a little grimy, since it is parked right next door to Haymarket. The smell of funky cheese from a few doors down does not help. By far, this place does not look like much of anything. But first impressions are deceiving. This place is a hidden gem. The shop is over a hundred years old and it is a true, old school butcher. For the uninitiated, that means you are not going to find ground beef neatly packaged in styrofoam, but rather an "everything but the oink/moo/cluck/gobble/baa" mentality; they even will sell you a whole goat or sheep to roast on a spit. My advice is to stick around. I myself rave about this place because I got the perfect sized turkey for Thanksgiving, fresh kill, freshly butchered. It was succulent and excellent quality! Even if they don't have what you want in stock, they can get it to you within a few days, and again, they butcher EVERY MEAT OR FOWL KNOWN TO MAN. (You do have to verbally ask for some of their items, since the fridge is in the back as is where the butchering is done: they bring it to you.) They cater to both immigrant and local tastes, something Savenor's does not, and it is worth it-the Vietnamese guy gets his tripe to make pho, you get your prized rib roast, and the Puerto Rican walks out happily carrying a whole suckling pig she has carefully wrapped up to take home for Christmas dinner. Go on, give it a chance. Do what I did and go in advance for the holiday meal. Have your turkey or goose safely waiting for you and eat like a king while idiots fight over a frozen Butterball or a crown roast of meh from Shaw's. Poke at the goat meat, and then learn it tastes like lamb and actually would be a treat if used in a stew recipe. Go look up an old recipe of Julia Child's from the 1950's and realize that the foot of a cow was the old way to get gelatin and if all the instant stuff at the supermarket suddenly goes poof, you are going to be fine: the 100+ year old butcher shop that is older than Savenor's still has the foot, weird though that is.
