I was recommended Horizon meats before I purchased one of their Dealfinds, but visited with one of these vouchers. This is one of the few businesses I've used a group coupon at that I'd return to. Their selection of meats is amazing. Whether you're looking for bison, steak, ground beef, jerky, you name it, they have it. I just cooked one of the marinated full chickens I had purchased from there, and it was fantastic. We've also cooked steaks from here, ground beef, and the bacon cheese smokies - all consistent high quality and fresh.
Like Dan said, it's a bit out of the way, but I'm going to make another trip there to stock my freezer. -

Now THIS is what I'm talkin about!
An old-school style butcher shop that makes their own jerky, can butcher anything you got, and offers a variety of more strange and unusual meats ... all at a fair price!
On my first visit, you could say that I went "hog wild" and got some of the more rare items: alligator, yak and ostrich smokies. All seemed to be really good quality, though the ostrich ended up more dry than I expected.
The "original recipe" beef jerky that I tasted was excellent. More "smokey" than your average jerky and full of flavour ... almost had a kielbasa-like taste to it!
This place is awesome because you feel confident that they know what they're doing, they have good product to serve and they are not in ANY way hoity-toity. Just a good, classic, down-to-earth butcher shop.
They also offer a variety of multi-meat BBQ packs that seem like a pretty good deal!
For me, the location is a little bit off the beaten path (and industrial!), but I would be happy to go out of my way to come here when I need something specific.
I can safely say that Horizon was able to MEAT all my expectations!
