    Brats
    Aini R.

    We were in the area and stopped by The Pork Shop to check out what they had. The store was clean and the staff were all very helpful. We grabbed some polish style brats to try and also a pork steak. The butcher said to prepare the pork steak just like a ribeye! We also bought smoked pig ears for our dogs, which they loved!!!

    The Pork Shop, in San Tan Valley/Queen Creek, is a straightforward butcher shop with a takeout counter specializing in pork--fresh cuts, smoked meats, burritos, and tamales. It's not a sit-down restaurant; order at the counter, then eat at outdoor picnic tables or take it to go. The place stays busy, especially on weekends. I got the green chili burro for $5. It's good value for the money. The burrito is decently sized, filled with tender, smoky pulled pork in a soft tortilla, topped with house green chile sauce that's earthy and tangy. The spice was higher than I expected--hotter than typical mild versions around the valley, with a lingering burn. I finished mine without issue, but my wife found it way too hot and only took a few bites. If you're sensitive to heat, ask for less chile or try a milder option like the BBQ pork burrito. The pork quality is solid for the price--no excess fat or gristle--and the portion fills you up. The shop's smoked-meat smell hits you right away, and they carry bacon, sausages, ribs, tamales, and more. Service is quick, even with lines. Overall, it's simple pork-focused food at a fair price. The green chili burro is filling and inexpensive, though the spice might not suit everyone. Worth a stop if you're nearby for good pork flavor. I'd go back, but I'd choose milder for my wife.

    Cool little spot in the middle of San Tan if you are looking for some pork to cook up. The folks are friendly and the place is LOADED with meats! They have some snacks and drinks and they have some BBQ burritos and one other burrito if you want lunch. I would have given them five stars if they had some sandwiches because that's what I was looking for.

    We ordered a 9-pound stuffed pork from the pork shop. We've bought from them before, and they usually do great work, which is why this was such a disappointment. This time around, there was way more stuffing than pork honestly, it felt like the balance was completely off. When you order stuffed pork, you expect stuffing to complement the pork, not bury it. A lot of people at the table were asking the same thing where's the pork? Mistakes happen, I get that. But for something this size and this price, the ratio matters. Less stuffing, more pork that's really the fix here. I'm sharing this because we've had good experiences before and hope this was just a miss

    Honestly I think this is one of the best pork chops I've ever had! I'll be purchasing these every time I get over to this area!!

    Stopped by the Pork Shop...my significant other has a bit of a meat addiction (loves to BBQ!), so we decided to check things out. What a cool shop! Lots of meat choices as well as hot homemade burritos for sale. Meat sticks galore (lots of different flavors!) and if you want to try things just ask! The staff were super helpful and friendly, lots of cute merchandise like silly T-shirts, and everything was reasonably priced, the ribs looked amazing....we will be back!

    Ribeye of the gods

    Saturday free samples for a first time visitor so I was pretty excited about that after finally getting out to the shop. The maple sausage YAAAAASSSS, apple cinnamon is like Christmas morning. Then I got pulled pork. I am a pulled pork snob, to the point id only eat it if my husband smoked it because nothing else was tasting right UNTIL NOW.....if this was my last meal id die happy. I could eat this every single day. It is melt in your mouth phenomenal. Beef products priced right and ribeye is amazing. SEE YOU SATURDAY!

    Baby racks ribs before the prep . Great price ..

    This place has been around forever . Been coming here for years. . Great open space and customer service is top notch. Meat selections they offer both cooked and raw are a top ten.

    Ask the Community - The Pork Shop

    Do they have Head Cheese?

    Nope

    Do they sell lard?

    Yes

    Do they offer any other prepared food besides (Brats and Green Chilie and Bbq pork burritos)?

    Sometimes they have smoked brisket. They're in the tubs in the warming section. Tasty brisket and some of their tortillas. Yum!

    Do you sell pork bellies?

    Yes - I just saw some today in the center cooler. It's labeled "Pork Belly - This is not bacon." Ha, ha. Good luck!

    Do they sell plain lean ground pork?

    If it's pork they got it. I believe that they will grind any pork you want.

    I'll be honest, this place wasn't even on my radar. We have a second home out here and spend part…read moreof the year in Phoenix, but I had somehow never heard of Hobe Meats. I only ended up here because I've been on a bit of a backyard cooking kick lately. We've got a full outdoor kitchen and smoker, and today we're hosting a crowd, so I figured I'd go hunt down a solid brisket. That quick errand turned into something else entirely. Walked in and immediately knew I wasn't in a typical grocery store meat section. The selection is on another level. I went in with tunnel vision for brisket and walked out with a beautiful cut, plus a leg of lamb and a few Wagyu steaks that I absolutely did not plan on buying. No regrets. The quality speaks for itself. Everything looked fresh, well-cut, and handled by people who clearly know what they're doing. Not just tossing meat in a case and calling it a day. There were also some more unique options that caught my eye, the kind of stuff you don't usually see unless you're really looking for it. Definitely gave me a few ideas for future weekends. What really stuck with me though was the staff. Genuinely friendly, easy to talk to, and helpful without hovering. I asked a couple questions and got real answers, not some rehearsed script. You can tell they take pride in what they're selling. If you're into cooking, especially if you've got a smoker and like experimenting a bit, this place is dangerous in the best way. I came in for one thing and left with a whole game plan. Safe to say I'll be back next time we're in town.

I used to sneak in here just to buy sodas because it was close but once I had their food I was in trouble.

Location is very clean, you can sit inside or out depending on weather and plenty of parking. Highly recommend !

    We recently asked our friendly butchers to introduce us to something we hadn't previously tried…read morehere. 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.

    We are really lucky to have this butcher in the area…read more 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.
