Awesome people. Took my first deer in. Only had ground meat and sausage links made, but they delivered. They also have an assortment of flavors for the sausage and can mix deer with chorizo. Couldn't wait to get it hime and tear into it. Meat was awesome and their prices don't break the bank (90 down; 112 upon pickup for my order). On top of that, just super nice people. read more

I have been taking my deer meat to this establishment for a couple of years now. The sausage, smoked sausage and pan sausage is outstanding. They have a new sausage flavor "loaded potato" it's pretty darn tasty. The female running it has always been super friendly, funny and professional. The place shop is clean and the help there are also very helpful and nice. I have taken a few deer to them to process and always get an ample amount of meat. One of these days going to take them a pig for processing. My suggestion is to quarter the meat up for them, it's a little cheaper and your order is returned quicker. I plan to take them a few more deer ! read more

Arnold Deer Processing - My processed deer meat. - Meat Shops Near Me - Hempstead, Texas

Always friendly, helpful, and packaged just the way I request. Quick turnaround time too.

If I could give ZERO stars I would. This place is extremely unprofessional and, in my opinion, unethical to boot. We took 5 pigs to him that, with hoof, was near 700 lbs. Rule of thumb is half of hoof weight is what you should get in meat. So, we should have received about 350lbs of meat. We got 230lbs and that is with beef being added to the sausage. I'm assuming this place has my pork in their store refrigerators for sale, although I can't prove that. On top of that, the butcher's wife completely screwed up our order. We wanted several cuts trimmed up and packaged for shipping only, the hams, back straps, loins, etc. We not only told this to Jason before dropping off the meat with him, but to his wife TWICE. Instead, we received 4 shoulder roast and 200 lbs of sausage. Keep in mind sausage is by far the most expensive product on their list of options. After finding out what happened, we tried to negotiate with Jason who told us to call his wife. They were wanting $800 to process 230lbs of meat. RIDICULOUS!! After going back and forth between the butcher and his wife about how they screwed up our order, the only discount we were offered was the removal of 3 debone charges at $35 each. Oh let's not forget the wife offered to keep the sausage, go to the GROCERY STORE and buy us a few pork tenderloins!!!! I mean...enough said right there! We ended up paying $700 for this debacle. Jason and his wife do not keep appointments, do not show-up when scheduled, and act like they are doing you a favor. This place is absolutely horrible. I can't say that enough. There are MANY other processors out there and we will definitely be going somewhere else! Save your money and sanity...AVOID ARNOLD PROCESSING AT ALL COSTS!! read more

I have used Arnold Deer Processing (ADP) twice now. The first experience in 2014 put me on the fence as to whether to use them again or not. The reason being was due to the owner not showing up as promised, forcing us to leave the meat outside his business with an order sheet. I did, however, receive delicious meat products from the feral hogs that I took hunting. I once again used ADP in February of 2015. The owner no showed me again despite multiple calls that day and a meet time set by him. My buddy and I waited and finally received info that the owner wouldn't be able to make it but would send his wife to take our order. This was after telling him that I had a flight to catch and was pressed for time. The wife showed up about :30 mins after the set meet time. She opened the shop and took our order. We gave her very definitive instructions of how much of the meat we wanted to be made into sausage and how much we wanted cleaned, deboned, and packed for shipping. Upon leaving, I just had a feeling that she didn't comprehend what we wanted. We went BACK into the shop and slowly reiterated our order. The wife assured us that she understood. However, when the order was ready for pickup,...it was completely messed up. We dropped approximately 550 lbs of feral hog. We wanted all back straps, roasts, hams and tenderloins cleaned and packaged. What we received was only 2 roasts and the rest made into sausage (their most expensive products). In addition, we only received 203 lbs of sausage (this after some beef was added). To me, that math does not add up although there is no way of proving that they kept meat. Also, while we expecting a bill around $400, we were given a bill of nearly $800. The owner passed the fault onto his wife and requested we speak to her. The wife, however, insisted we speak to the owner. In the end, even though the wife admitted fault and both owner and she were, at times, super argumentative with us, he "graciously" took three de-bonings off our order bringing our total to $695. This is how stupid it got...the wife offered to keep our sausage and buy us store bought pork to replace our loss. I highly recommend finding another game processor. This place is a rip off in my opinion. read more
