This is a wonderful shop and the owners and staff are all pros and super nice. I pickup my steaks here and my favorite cuts are the New York Strips and the Ribeyes. I've been coming here for five years or so, and I do eat steaks frequently. The excellent consistency of flavor and tenderness is what makes The Meat Market my favorite store. Every single steak that I've bought, grilled, and enjoyed from the Meat Market, has been in the excellent range. read more

Love this family owned meat market. The selection of meat and fish is outstanding. Love the $5 brisket burgers. Highly recommend this market. read more

this place is a gem! for some reason there are next to no whole animal butchers around Pheonix, everyone orders pre cut meat and then calls themselves a butcher. Not only is this a whole animal butcher, they source their animals locally from family run farms!!! on top of this, i ordered beef fat trimmings to render for tallow. i did not even bother to ask for suet because no one ever has it. they gave me suet without me even asking! they also have tallow there, but i prefer to render my own. they are amazing and i will be coming back!!!! read more

I can't say enough about this little shop. They never disappoint. We order 10.5lbs on Top Round to make some beef jerky. We are locals and have also order other meat from here. We love supporting local businesses and their meat is top notch. read more

There isn't a better place for meat and customer service then The Meat Market. Roni and Josh are the very best there are they understand all there is not only about all cuts of meats, but what their customers want. I find myself there at least 3 times a week (and would be there more if my wife would let me ). We are moving from the area soon and this is the one place I will miss the most!! read more

Love this place!!! Very professional and friendly staff!!! Ribeye tonight!!! SharpKnife great job!!!

I get an old-world vibe from this place. Super small storefront with an old-school butcher style feeling where you can see artisans engaging in their craft. From what I remember all the animals they butcher are local. I also believe they do most everything in-house: seasoning, curing, cutting, drying, etc. Staff is friendly and its in a great location. read more

Simply the best. We drive over 90 minutes each way to get our meats from them. They are amazing people, with even better steaks. Prime bone in Ribeyes, "butcher cut" is the best in the valley. Promise! From hand carving to the best cuts of steak and great humans make this THE spot to get your meats! read more

Been to several "butcher shops" in my 15 years here in AZ. Still lookin' for a good one. I really hate to rate this place so low because it is so quaint, transparent and customer oriented! Frippers Hot Dogs: One bite and out came the Benadryl; lots of Benadryl! Wife tossed hers in fear of the same. 1# down the disposal! 1 - 1 1/2 #'s each of prime Porterhouse & Bone in Rib Eye. BEAUTIFUL marbling & WHITE fat. Reverse seared them. Looked GREAT; was better as cold roast beef sandwiches. Hot Sausages: Cooked as directed by the Clerk. Finely ground meat with no/minimal fat and no heat whatsoever. Could've been breakfast sausage. 4 1/2 down the tube! So for the buck paid for the bang received, I'm stickin' to Kroger & Albertson's! Save yourself a trip from Phoenix or beyond!!!! read more

Cute store and real nice gal behind the counter. Tried the grass fed beef , which I was told was amazing and will not taste like anything I have had it Texas. She was right it was horrible....I still do not like grass fed anything. Had the prime filet and it was great. Not much marbling, but tasted real nice. Ground veal was tremendous. BBQ potato chips are to die for. The chili made me and the wife not feel too well. Not sure if it was the fat content or old. Not a fan of that. You come here for the meat and they do a great job. Sometimes the cutters in back are a little gruff....don't forget it all about customer service:) read more

I used to come here for their Spicy sausage lunch that they had a while back, when they stopped it I was a little sad. But have to say this place is still great! All the workers are great and helpful. They really know their stuff and do an amazing job explaining it all to the customers. Everything looks good in this place, I picked up some of the BBQ sauce and have used it multiple times at home. If you are in the the area be sure to drop by. read more

Purchased beef tenderloin. Was so tender & will definitely be back to try other cuts. Very friendly staff. Great assortment of meats & other products. read more

This place has been my number one favorite all around in PHOENIX since my darling son and his gorgeous wife first brought me her 3 years ago and here's why; --- Nikki the bartender does 'generous pours on the house red wine which as a wine snob I love-is amazing-- none of this let's measure and weigh the wine crap!! --- Crazy Noodle dish & all dishes are unique with crunch, textuRe, fun, sweet & spicy!!.. it keeps you going right after it!! --- DESSERTS-- TRES LECHE!!! KILLER AND NEVER HAD ANYTHING LIKE IT --- awesome music & volume -- BEST EVER DECOR!! --- love Casey the hostess!!! That's WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT FOLKS!--!! And I just drove in from Laguna Beach!! LOVE MY FAVORITE RESTAURANT!!! thank you all read more

My new "go to" for beef, chicken, broth, eggs and more. Thank you Roni and staff for such a special "boutique" shop. The Meat Market is truly one of the special establishments that makes living in Carefree so wonderful. The quality of all that is sold is the best, the service is educational and friendly. Thank you! read more

Great meat, super friendly staff! Love their products and their partnership with Nelsons.

The staff here are super knowledgeable and friendly. However I was a bit disappointed with the prime New York strip that I bought here. The price was premium but the quality rather average. It wasn't juicy at all or or had the tenderness that I was expecting considering the price I paid. read more

As an omnivore who only wants grass-fed and pasture-raised meats, I was beyond obnoxious (to my family and friends) when Roni opened up The Meat Market in Carefree recently. I am still talking about it repeatedly to anyone who will listen. It's local to me (I can walk). It's grass-fed. It's fresh. It's custom. It's owned by a great young gal - a female butcher is cool. It just doesn't get any better. (Pinch me.) Roni, this super-friendly young lady I mentioned, stocks her shop with the best meats that are all LOCAL, grass-fed/pasture-raised, and never frozen (fresh meat makes a difference). She writes on her website that these meats are responsibly raised and respectfully butchered. Currently, she offers beef, lamb, and pork with the goal of having chicken in the future. As of now, she also offers local, fresh turkey for the holidays (pre-ordered). She also has brats, sweet Italian sausage, and chorizo. What is available one day might not be there the next so if you're looking for something in particular, then call ahead. Personally, I like to be surprised by what's available and decide what's for dinner based on that. The friendly vibe of this little shop and the delicious products will keep me coming many times a week. I'm elated that I no longer have to buy frozen grass-fed meats (from around the country or locally) and stock my freezer - having to always plan and wait for thawing. Now I can buy and cook the same day. If you're not local to Carefree or Cave Creek, this little shop is worth the drive. While you're up here, stop by Cave Creek Roastery (ROC2) and grab a bag of organic coffee beans (just down the road - going West - on Cave Creek Road a bit). read more

Seriously - BEST place ever! Amazing cuts, super friendly staff, great prices.....love this spot!

On vacation in the area and was looking for a quality place to get some steaks and we found it here! The staff was amazing and provided great customer service. Mouthwatering choices of meats, was very hard to make a decision. If you are in the area I highly recommend "The Meat Market!" read more

A real butcher shop! Stopped by today for the first time and picked up some beer brats, hot dogs and bone in rib eye steaks. We cooked the dogs and brats for dinners. The kids ate the hotdogs super fast. The brats were amazing! Usually we marinate the brats before we cook. These went straight on the grill and the flavors were great! Everyone raved about how good they were. I am very excited for the steaks tomorrow. Anyone looking for good quality meat skip the low quality grocery store and make the stop. They have a great selection. Plus they have a camera directly over their cutting board, so you can watch as they hand cut all your meat. Can't wait to go back for more!! read more

This is the best place for fresh meat, grass fed, pastured pork and even specialty items like salumi. The thing we get the most is breakfast sausage and pork chops. You have never tasted pork like this unless you lived on a farm. It is FRESH. The breakfast sausage has just enough spice to give it favor without overwhelming you at breakfast. The pork chops are so tasty on the grill, bone in of course. Now they have a new chef making specialty items it is really getting good!!! Don't miss out on this little gem. read more

We had to drive far to spend a lot of money on meat and instantly addicted. Don't ever eat bacon butter unless you plan to eat it again, seriously . The hamburger was more money than I ever spent for hamburger and more better than any burger I ever made at home. We must go back but I don't want to freeze the meat, what to do?? read more

Great place to get the special cuts of meat you need! All grass fed and local! Great set up! I made a wonderful Braciole with the flank steak I purchased from them. I have it pictured with my review. read more

I love having a butcher in the area. I've been here several times since they opened. Yesterday I got pork belly for a new recipe and they trimmed up a beautiful piece for me. Thanksgiving last year I ordered both our turkeys here and they we the best turkeys I've ever had and I've always pre-ordered mine from various place. I am hoping to get a chance to try a crown roast from them this year for the holidays I didn't want to gamble and not get one last year, so I ordered mine elsewhere. I also excited to try the giant bones for my dogs in the near future, which they showed me yesterday. You do need to be a little flexible and go early if you are looking for something specific, but it can be fun to just go see what's fresh and build dinner from there. When you go here you truly feel like you are in a neighborhood place, friendly, helpful, and fun. read more

We are so fortunate to have The Meat Market near us. They have the best tasting meats, eggs and customer service. We love this place! Give a 10 Star if I could read more

They use the grass fed it is tough and the sausage is overpriced hipster meats. It's very clean however.

Pork chops, butchers cut. These are awesome. I was recommended here because I wanted pastured pork. They were awesome. Worth the travel all the way from South Phoenix. read more

I started shopping at this meat market about six months ago after reading the outstanding reviews on Yelp. It has lived up to all the high praise. Very friendly and helpful staff. You can tell that they enjoy their work. We purchased a turkey for Thanksgiving. The turkey was juicy and full of flavor. In addition to the turkey, I bought one of the bacon chili cheeseburger meat loafs. OMG, amazing! I did not know that meat loaf could taste so good. It was juicy and spicy. For sure a handy dish to have on hand in the freezer, as it goes right from the freezer to the oven to the dinner table. Yummy. I look forward to trying the other selections when I am next in the neighborhood. read more

GET OUT OF TOWN! No, Seriously! Get out of town and head North to this awesome butcher shop! I would love to say that i've tried everything there, however the great thing about a place like this is they always have something new along with your tried and true favorites. I usually call before coming in to see what the specials are of that day and how i can tie it in with tonights dinner. Everything i have eaten here is truely the best cut of meat youll find in town! If youve been to places like arcadia meat market or frenchies youll DIE for this place. Super nice and clean inside. Great selection. and even more theyre SUPER FRIENDLY! The owner is super nice and she loves educating people on how to properly prepare their delicious product! ` Not only do they have the best cuts of meat available, you HAVE to try the chili, the Bolognese sauce, and the Jerky! read more

This is the best meat shop in the neighborhood. Went in there to buy a brisket, the gentleman said he doesn't have any ready, so he took me and my future father in law into the refrigerator and had us pick one out to be cut fresh. He said it would be ready in about 45 min. Came back in the exact time, it was ready, all grass fed beef. Smoked the next day after having it sit in brine overnight. Turned out perfect. Looking forward to doing business with this place again soon. read more

I've bought from The Meat Market many times. The other day I tried a dry aged bone in strip. Amazing. The best steak I have ever eaten. Anywhere. Literally melted in our mouths. I did not write a review. I'm with my son tonight trying a similar steak in Illinois from While Foods. Doesn't even come close. While I'm at it. The farm fresh eggs are the best. Bright orange yoke as an egg should be. While there grab a glass of wine at Brix. Support the community. read more

I am so pleased to have discovered The Meat Market! Ronnie and Nate are knowledable and will cut anything to order. In comparison to grocery store meat, this butcher only sources whole. local animals that are natural and sustainably grown. If you care about where your meat comes from, this is the shop for you. While I'm local to Cave Creek, it is a short drive if you come from North Scottsdale. read more

The Meat Market is the best! Products are fresh. Employees are knowledgeable of their products. Their meats are pricy, but I have to say, it is well worth it. You won't get the quality and freshness elsewhere. read more

Been meaning to stop here for awhile and I am so glad I finally did! The store front is beautiful, super clean and looked brand new. Their selection of meat was great and loved hearing about how they also do crockpot meals. We stoped in to get bolognese sauce that they make fresh and sell frozen in containers so you can reheat at home. This is the first thing we've tried from there and it just makes me excited to go back because it was delicious! I am not a big meat eater so quality and taste is super important to me and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place to anyone. Prices are great for the quality served, you know it's fresh when you can watch them butcher the meat right in front of you. Employees were also helpful, knowledgeable and friendly so A+ for service too! read more
