A-1 Meat Shop In…read moreterms of butchers and providers of unbelievable meat (including Halal meat) A-1 is at the top of my list. Ever since I first had a taste of their pre-marinated meat, I knew it would be a lifelong partnership between us. A-1 started in England and was very successful, so much so that they opened one location in Vancouver and then another. With continued success they opened up a location in Brampton and have been hard sorting peeps out since. From the shop I or my peers will order multiple pounds of the following and proceed to BBQ it via indirect heat for upwards of 35-45min. This ensures that the chicken remains tender juicy and not dry and burnt/charred. Yellow Chicken Wings: This is my favourite marinade at A-1, it is stunningly sweet spicy and savory. Many a time have I eaten multiple pounds of these wings in one sitting, they are so good once you have one you can not stop. This meat is worthy of converting vegetarians. Red Chicken: You may be thinking tandoori but it's not exactly tandoori. I would say it definitely has some tandoori influence, but is definitely A-1's proprietary marinade. Effin' delicious. This chicken is typically available in drumstick, legs, breasts and wings. Red Fish: The fish they use is White Fish and it has the same rub as the chicken above. This item is borderline unreal and if you follow the indirect heating procedure you will ensure you get the most out of this fish. The key is to not overcook it and move it around too much, or the fish will break apart and become dry. Other than the above A-1 also has regular chicken, lamb and other meats for sale. The Brampton location typically has their Red Chicken drumsticks in a rotisserie throughout the day to satisfy patrons who can't wait until they get home to cook the chicken. Order a few pieces from the rotisserie and they will hit it up with garama masala, lemon and massive chunks of onion...Heavenly. The dudes that work at A-1 are very nice people and patient with you if you're a first timer. The prices are very reasonable for the quality and flavour of the meat, the storefront and atmosphere is approachable and clean, and their website is solid with great pics, pricing and even recipes. Definitely my favourite BBQ resource.

The prices are very reasonable and the selection is good. The quality is outstanding. What attracted me to Mario's Meats is the availability of grass-fed beef at a reasonable price. Mario even has wild game meat in the back such as elk, bison, rabbit, venison and others. You should know that Mario's Meats offer delivery if you meet a certain minimum to make the drive worthwhile. Overall, I cannot recommend Mario's Meats enough. I'll be going back very soon for some Mennonite-raised chicken thighs and eggs, as well as grass-fed ground beef. To be clear, Mario has both, 100% grass-fed beef throughout the lifecycle of the cow and grass finished beef, whereby the cow is put on a grass-only diet during the last 3 months before slaughter.

I was a loyal customer at the old location, but the new location has been a major disappointment…read more This was my second visit to the new restaurant. On Thursday, January 8 around 7:00 p.m., I ordered a 9-piece fried chicken, a chicken sandwich, and a whole rotisserie chicken for takeout. Every single item was overcooked. The fried chicken and sandwich were an extremely dark brown, which strongly suggests either severely overcooked chicken or old, poorly maintained frying oil. The chicken sandwich was so hard it was difficult to bite into and impossible to finish. The rotisserie chicken was also burned, with obvious scorch marks on the skin. What makes this unacceptable is that the restaurant wasn't even busy, and there were no rotisserie chickens available when I arrived. This points to serious kitchen mismanagement--either the heat was far too high or the food was left cooking far longer than it should have been. The quality gap between the old and new locations is shocking. The previous staff clearly knew how to prepare chicken properly. At this new location, it appears there is a complete lack of training, quality control, or experienced kitchen leadership. Burning food at this level should never leave the kitchen. Unless there is a major improvement in training and oversight, I cannot recommend this location and will not be returning.

It's worthwhile making a trip here to stock up on good quality chicken, especially the skinless,…read moreboneless pieces.

When you walk in, it certainly doesn't smell like a butcher's shop: the smell of delicious Indian food is what pervades the air, not raw meat. For while they do indeed sell raw meat, they also cook Indian food in the back (only for takeout). They get 4.5 stars. Butter chicken was very good: rich & creamy. It was made with boneless white meat, but was still quite moist. Lamb biryani was pretty good - huge, with a lot of lamb (mostly boneless, so it was easy to eat), moist & flavourful. It also had very few loose herbs & spices so eating it was easy. It was served with a green raita, which was decent. Garlic naan was so-so. They have no dine in so maybe it would've been nicer fresh, but from what I could tell it wasn't that good. Afghan chicken leg was decent. It was not very creamy, though it was moist enough. The food came with a green spicy sauce which was actually pretty tasty, but the food didn't need it.
