Service 5/5 - Everyone at Von Hansons is always so helpful and knowledgeable. If you need a special order, they have always been very accommodating at this location.

Veggie skewers (yes, please), Brussels sprouts ready for grilling. I could go on, but my adult husband was having a happy melt down at the meat counter so I had to take him home to the grill. He grilled up the beef kabobs and they were a great buy (all pure steak meat-no fat/bone/gristle)! They tasted fresh and delicious (even better the next day to put beef steak in tacos). Today we're trying the Cherry Bomb Brats (HOT pepper jack cheese/maraschino cherry flavored). Well played, Von!

This place is dope…read more First time I walked in, I thought the guys behind the counter were giving me a little attitude. Like they knew everything about meat. Turns out, they fucking do. You ask a question, they've got an answer. Ask another one, now you're learning about cuts you didn't even know existed and suddenly you're standing there reconsidering your entire weekend barbecue strategy like a man staring at religion through a glass display case. That's the problem with this place. You walk in thinking, "I'll just grab some hamburger and maybe a couple steaks," and five minutes later you want to leave with half the damn store. They've got custom sauces, spices, rubs, marinades, meat enhancements, all the stuff that turns a backyard cookout into the kind of meal where people stop talking for a minute after the first bite. I've been to a few butcher shops around the city, but Ready Meats feels different. No gimmicks. No artisanal nonsense. No guy in suspenders trying to sell you parsley foam for nineteen dollars. Just meat. And people who know meat. Which is kinda the whole point, ain't it?

The staff was super helpful--especially Casey, who took the time to chat with me and recommend a few of his personal favorites. I ended up picking up a variety of brats, some garlic bacon, and seasoned pretzels. Everything looked and tasted fresh, high-quality, and clearly made with care. It's great to have a place like this nearby with such a solid selection and friendly service. I'll definitely be back soon--this is exactly the kind of local spot worth supporting.

Great place - 5 stars!…read more I've been buying most of my meat products from Coborn's in Ramsey for many years. But I haven't been very happy with the "Four Brothers" brand. (The previous "Kretschmar" brand was even worse.) Fortunately, I visited Anoka Meat and Sausage for the first time and I'm very impressed. This is definitely my new go-to spot for my zero-carb, meat based diet. This place has nearly everything you could ever want from a meat market. Plus, they have tons of extra specialty products like spices, rubs, sauces...and more. And they're the ONLY place I've found (so far) in my local area that offers bacon with no added sugar! I don't know why it's is so hard to find processed meat with no sugar. Companies insist on throwing sugar in every damn food product and they even do it with meat...rotisserie chickens, hot dogs, sausages, hot dogs, jerky, brats, bacon, braunschweiger, etc. Don't believe me? Read the labels. They try to hide it by listing sugars on the ingredient label as organic cane juice, turbinado sugar, sucanat, molasses, honey, dextrose, kings syrup, invert syrup, maltose...you name it...they try to sneak it in everything. I found a website that lists sugars by 65 difference deceptive and sneaky names. It's sad. I guess the big food companies want everyone to be diabetic. Last but not least, the employees are very friendly and I feel the prices are very reasonable. You can go to Main Street Anoka and buy a high end product for the same price (or less) than the big box grocery stores with questionable quality. What's not to love? Thumbs up! -Maxx

He told me back then that someday we needed to check out J&J's. We love small business, local, non-chain restaurants. I decided to surprise my husband and take him to J&J's for Father's Day. We are empty nesters, so it was just the two of us for lunch. We arrived just after 12 p.m. There was a line out the door, which we expected since it was Father's Day and Sunday lunchtime. We were told it would be a 15-20 minute wait for a table, which we had no issue with. We ended up waiting less than 10 minutes because there was a table available on the patio. The weather was beautiful, and with summer being so short in Minnesota, we like to take advantage of it whenever we can. Our server came to our table shortly after we were seated, but it was long enough that we both had time to decide what we wanted before she arrived. I ordered the Texas Philly, and my husband had the brisket sandwich. We had to wait a while for our food, which we understood given how busy the restaurant was. Others around us were complaining about the wait, and those tables had a different server who was very apologetic about the kitchen being backed up. The hand-cut fries were piping hot and seasoned perfectly. It's so rare to go out to eat and get hot fries, let alone fries that are piping hot. That alone was worth the wait! My husband loved the brisket sandwich, and the Texas Philly was SO good--piled full of meat. We live in the south metro, but it was well worth the 30+ minute drive to get there. We'll definitely be back and will absolutely recommend J&J's to others!

We came in to celebrate our 52nd wedding anniversary, Thursday night mind you the Minnesota state fair is going on. We had one other table behind us and that was it. When she was gone we had the whole place to ourselves. How special was that, but, you know it had to be rough on the staff cooking for just two people but they did great. When we walked in every table was set with white linens and black cloths, just lovely, getting seated server quickly got out drinks and brought us the best little platter of mini popovers, then a plate with the best grilled banana with cinnamon sugar and fried polenta, yum, then we received a small plate of the best mashed potatoes and light gravy. We did not lack for nothing, everything on the salad bar was laid out so elegantly, hot bar had about 8-9 items on it, but didn't much care for them, got to try all kinds of fancy things you normally wouldn't get a chance to try at other restaurants, pricy yes, but for all the different cuts of meat and the charcuterie board options, oh so worth it. We even got to have a little one on one with the staff and owner, asking us what meats we would like and quickly making them for us. Ok, this is the second Brazilian steakhouse we have been to in the last 12 months, the first was in Tennessee on our 2025 trip, everything equally as good, except Fazenda's some of the meats were not properly cooked, couple of my beef options were so good at medium rare then some were well and dry, my lamb chops I got twice and they were over the well mark and dry. Pork and chicken options were so good, sausage was a no, loved the fact they had chicken hearts, yes that's right and they were good too..since it was our anniversary they said we will get a complimentary desert we chose the crème brûlée and let me tell you first time we have ever had it and it was wonderful, they took their time to make it as special as they could. I want to give them a big thank you for such a special evening couldn't have been any better. We do want to come back but we want to try a couple more as well to see what they offer.

While we weren't huge fans of the pita (very bready), the dips were so good they made up for it. Great food, great market vibes, and a fun place to try something new!
