Review from Jamie T.
3/22/2012 7 Check-ins Here
Meat heaven. No other way to describe it.
Since I've been using Yelp, I've been hearing nothing but good things about Acme, so last weekend I finally decided to check it out for myself. The fact that I was looking to try out a pulled pork recipe might have had something to do with that decision, too.
Finding the shop was a bit of a hassle, since my map reading skills are apparently non-existent. Once I arrived, though, I was impressed with how clean the place was. Spent some time working in a grocery store when I was a teenager, and the meat department there was always kind of, well......bloody. Not the case here. I was also kind of surprised that only one other customer was shopping. Kind of expected the place to be busier.
The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and chopped off a beautiful pork shoulder for me in short order. I'm glad I wandered in when I did, because that whole "not busy" thing didn't last - as I was paying for my order, I noticed that at least 5 other people had wandered in after me. -

That's some good lookin' meat.
Spring sale. 10% off all freezer stock.
I ordered a boneless leg of lamb to make an Irish stew. They got about two Kg of meat off that little sucker. It cost about $65.00 which was a little more than I anticipated.
Corey can bring in your order on Thursdays. Try to give him a week's notice.
They also carry some nice cheeses and bottled sauces.
The staff is just terrific. Very nice crew. They keep the place spotless. There is absolutely no smell in there.
They have many regular customers who know their way around the shop.
P.S. Everyone loved my stew. -

Over the last few years, I have become disenchanted with meat.
It seemed like no matter what type of meat we got, or how we prepared it, it just wasn't very good. Dry, tough, and chewy - it was almost enough to make me go veggie.
Thankfully we found Acme Meat Market before I made that leap!
Corey and the staff at Acme are so friendly and always happy to help you out with all your meat needs.
The meat we get from Acme is exactly the opposite from the meat we were buying before - it doesn't matter what type of meat we get, or how we prepare it, it is always SO good!
I am not a good cook by any stretch of the imagination, but I butchered a couple of rib-eye steaks that we got from Acme (not "butchered" like Corey the butcher butchers steaks, but "butchered" like I had no business to be even touching them) and yet, they were still so tender and juicy that my husband was begging me to find out what I did to make them so good.
You know its good meat, if it can make ME look like a good cook!
Its definitely a bit pricier than the big grocers, but we are learning that you really do get what you pay for.
Acme is a great local, independent business, run by fantastic people who go out of the their way to support the community and offer a superior product - you just can't go wrong with that. -

Bought steaks last weekend... New definition for succulent and tasty. Yes, it's pricy but wow is it ever worth it.

Great to see a local butcher. Been missing having a good local cuts on my dinner plate.
