I use Arnolds in Chicopee for our club meat raffles, and the prizes are always welcome. Also get meat for my personal use and highly recommend. Like big, meaty chicken wings? They have 'em. Great selection of pork? Check. Fresh hamburg that cooks up to perfection? This place is for you. And you can spend a lot of time browsing their specialty items. Bonus - they pack your purchases in bags or boxes, to your preference. read more

If you're looking for large primal cuts of beef Arnold's has what you need. Just about every type/cut of beef, pork and chicken too. As well as seafood, all manner of sausages, cheeses, side dishes and desserts, etc. Very well laid out, bright and clean store. The employees are very polite and very helpful in my experience. Arnold's is a meat lovers paradise. You can't go wrong there! read more

They have great sales. I usually get all my steaks and my chicken there in the bags. I recommend it to anybody that likes getting a lot of meat at once. It's good to take them home freeze them once again. My name is Jeff O'Connor. read more

Arnold's employees are incredibly nice, first and foremost. Several times I've asked for minimal butchery, (chicken spatchcock, pork slicing, brisket flat/point separation), and every time I'm not quite sure what I've received back in the bag (my own fault for not EVER checking before I leave the store). Please just learn from this... Arnold's will work with you, but please know what you need/want beforehand and express this clearly so they can accurately help you - and THEN check their work before you check out. Arnold's is solid - a total gem in Western MA. The store is basic but it's clean and plentiful, the sales can be great, and the employees are tops! read more

Very disappointed in a whole top round roast that I had cut up into sirloin steaks for approximately $100. Inedibly chewy meat. Only fit for a canine. Very disappointing! Either very old beef or it came from foreign country. Never will I purchase from Arnold's again . 90 meat outlet 2.0 read more

Been going to Arnold's for years. Went this past Saturday and wanted to order a ribeye for thanksgiving. The gentleman working in the meat department ( who was very nice) told us to call on Monday and speak to the owner to place our order. I asked if we could just order right then with him and he said we should call. So this morning I called. The woman who answered said we can't order over the phone unless we were a business. I told her what the meat guy told us. She huffed and puffed and told me to hold. When she came back she said what are you ordering? I told her and she said "we carry that all the time". I said I'm sure you do but we wanted to pick up Wednesday to have for thanksgiving. Once again, she huffed and puffed. Apparently she didn't have the patience for me. I told her we would go somewhere else......she said OK. No way to accommodate us....just ok. That is the last time I will shop there. Fortunately there are many other butchers to choose from. read more

I stopped buying whole strips of beef, because they were tough. I bought two bone in pork roast last week. I cooked the first had so much bone and was dry and tough. The second I will cook like a cheaper cut of pork in the crook pot and ,I am done at Arnolds, read more

Our family LOVES Arnold's Meats! The prices are fair, the selection is overwhelmingly huge, the quality is amazing, and the customer service is unparalleled. Our young kids love the decorations and the snacks at checkout. It's always a treat to visit Arnold's instead of a regular errand. read more

Pretty great little shop. Very 1950s feel, employees are so so helpful always attentive. Great prices! Went here for the first time and will definitely be coming back! My go to meat shop. read more

We've been to the Arnold's Meats in East Longmeadow four times, but today we visited the older Arnold's (built in 1980) on Gratton Street in Chicopee. We had the same great experience that we enjoyed at the other store. We bought two big bags of stuff (4 packages of chicken, 2.5 lbs of calamari, Canadian bacon, lobster cakes, some sauces and a pound of ground turkey) for less than $40. This store seemed a bit smaller than East Longmeadow, but it had the same great variety of pretty much anything you could possibly want to put on your dinner table- meats, cheeses, poultry, fish, shellfish, potatoes, vegetables and pies-lots of great looking pies. The service was really friendly- a few folks asked us if we were looking for anything special, and could they help us find it? The East Longmeadow store is a lot closer to where we live, so we'd probably return to that one for our next Arnold's fix. But it's safe to say that we love both locations. read more

A butcher shop that refused to cut meat. I asked for skirt steak and was told I could only buy it by the slab for 95$. It was more than I wanted but I said ok I'll take it, I figured I'd invite family to grill it until it's gone. The gentleman attempts to hand me this 1/4 cow sized hunk of meat. I ask if he can cut it for me and and he said no. He was polite but I left empty handed more confused than angry. I have no reason to return. Bizarre! read more

Good meats!! Owner super friendly!!! Reasonable prices, ambiance is a meat market!!!!! read more

Have lived locally all my life and heard good things but have not shopped at Arnold's E Longmeadow before. Wanted some baby back ribs and it looks like their specialty is beef/chicken and not pork. Decided to shop here anyway and found frozen ribs (no surprise - pre-packaged ribs were as advertised in flyer but not discount price compared with supermarket). Didn't shop for their fresh beef meat cuts (maybe I should have). One thing I found extremely concerning is the condition of the frozen foods. Asked an associate for frozen chicken wings - was escorted to a 2-1/2 bag of wings that had so much frost that I would have thrown these away if I found them in my own freezer - all their frozen products need serious review for freshness and saleability. read more

Wow! They have a great selection of meat, sides, seafood, and lots of frozen foods. Staff was helpful and friendly. Prices were good, a little less than my local grocery, but with much better quality. Will be returning. read more

Well it would be nice if they honored their advertised hours. They are supposed to be open until 6pm on Thursdays and although I was cutting it close at 5:50, I was running in for one thing and was trying to avoid the hassle of the grocery store. However the door was locked...? I double checked the sign on the door and could still see employees inside and again, although it was close to closing, it wasn't 6pm yet. I called their telephone number as I was leaving the parking lot to verify they were supposed to be open until 6 and the woman that answered said well yes but we're closing up now and asked if I was outside. I explained that I had been, but I left since their door was locked. Her reply to me was that I should've gone to the out/exit doors and could have gotten in that way - ooooh, silly me, I guess I was just supposed to know that. Bottom line, if your hours of operation state you're open til 6, then your doors should be open until 6. read more

Great Meat Market. Lots of cool spice mixes and sauces. Good deals on meats. Nice store layout. Super friendly staff and check-out. High turnover so it's very fresh. Parking is tight. read more

Last couple times that i bought boneless chicken breast they were terrible . after cooking they were like rubber. Been buying there for a long time but looks like i need to go to that springfield meat store. Sorry read more

"I'm talkin' Arnold's Meeeeeats!" - Arnold's Meats jingle, heard on the radio daily I have to admit, my primary reason for going to Arnold's Meats on Grattan Street is because Rock102 plays this jingle every. single. morning. and it became ingrained in my head. I needed a good butcher's shop, which Springfield is desperately lacking in, and so, Arnold's Meats it was. The first trip to Arnold's Meats shortly after I moved to Springfield, was as I recall, not as amazing as I'd hoped. Yes, they had meat and lots of it, but if I remember correctly, I didn't really score any "big deals" and I felt like a lot of their stuff was frozen. Fast forward to my most recent two trips. Arnold's Meats puts out a Weekly Ad (http://www.arnoldsmeats.com/weeklyad.php) where they list their best deals. If you follow their ad, you'll end up saving a lot of money, and get a lot for your dollar. Some deals are best for the average home cook with limited freezer space, and others really cater to those with deep freezers, or commercial cold storage. For example, this week I took advantage of their fresh (not frozen) whole chicken, 99c/lb. They also had 40 pound boxes of chicken drumsticks for an unfathomable $12.50. Of course, I have no room for that much poultry. But what a deal! Arnold's has a great fresh (again, not frozen) supply of beef, chicken, and pork, with a variety of cuts and grinds. They do have some veal, lamb, and frozen exotic meats like alligator, kangaroo, and more. Fish and seafood is extremely limited, mostly the basic deep-frying types, like breaded fish fillets, clam strips. They carry some frozen shrimp and lobster, but I haven't noticed any mentionable savings. Other items include: bacon, frozen pies, canned tomatoes and other veggies, hamburger/hot dog buns, sliced and block cheese, deli meats, condiments, spices, frozen veggies/side dishes and frozen meals. This location always has plenty of butchers and staff on hand to answer questions, direct you to what you're looking for, and to cut and wrap your meat. Helpful hint: Arnold's does not charge extra for meats cut to order, or for freezer wrapping. Most of the guys are seem gruff, but they know their meat, and are happy to help clarify any questions. Checkout is a breeze, and often they pack the goods into a sturdy cardboard box for carrying. If you plan ahead, you can get 2 weeks of protein for your meals for under $30. Chicken and pork are the biggest savings here, and the beef is always a little bit cheaper at Arnold's versus a grocery chain. Plus, all of their meats are ground in-house and contain no additives and aren't washed in ammonia (unlike chains). THANK GOD. Maybe it's not all grass-fed, but according to a butcher, a lot of the beef they sell is. "The treasure chest of any chef, I'm talkin' Arnold's Meeeeeats!" read more

Rude employees, not practicing social distancing and packed aisle. Not surprised they had a Covid outbreak.

Prices are a bit high. The staff is not quite as friendly as one would expect. Parking at this location can be a headache.

People are always friendly. Good prices and great meats and other things. Worth the drive.

What a store! I went there for the first time today..WOW...Nice people, great meats, I'll be a regular customer now

2 days before Christmas and obviously they're PACKED. I love Arnold's selection and setup, I've never had to wait more than a few minutes for help and today was no exception. Their butchers cut the meat however you want it beautifully and quickly, and they always know how to cook it for the best flavor if you need some advice. Their breakfast sausages are delicious and I usually stock up on chicken breasts since it's so inexpensive. The parking lot is usually a mess, but that's not really Arnold's fault, I wish they had just a little more space. I would highly recommend Arnold's for all your butcher needs, especially their wholesale chicken breasts. read more

I'm not as overly impressed with this place as I was hoping to be. I really thought I'd walk in and be blown away by the prices but truthfully they're not much better than your typical grocery store. We came middle of the day on a Saturday and I was glad to see that there was parking and it wasn't terribly crowded. I will say I was surprised to see as many random items as I did. Giant cans of condensed soup, massive bags of frozen clam strips, and who knew that canned mashed potatoes exist?! I purchased a few items such as frozen vegetables and stuff chicken breast but learned later in the day when I did go to my local grocery store that I wasn't getting any better of a deal at Arnold's. I was a little disappointed not finding a selection of ground turkey aside from Shady Brook Farm which is what I can buy at the grocery store for 1 to 2 dollars less than Arnolds. In the future I may consider a single trip to Arnold's to stock up on all of our meat for the month if they have a really good sale but for now I'll probably stick to Stop & Shop. Unless of course I need canned mashed potatoes :) read more

I've heard so many people rave about this place that I finally decided to stop by and see what all the fuss was about. The selection of meats was overwhelming! Nice small place, friendly staff, and fair prices. I'll definitely be back, once the two of us somehow make it through this 10 pound bag of chicken we got haha. read more

Love Arnold's, competitive prices, never disappointed with their products, pleasant service!

Best place to buy meat. Quality meats. The guys are quick to cut your meat to order. Always satisfied!!

Arnold's Meats in Chicopee is a great place to buy assorted meats. This is actually a butcher shop that will cut meats to order, and advise you on cuts of meat and preparation. I have literally bought hundreds of pounds of meat from them over the years and I have never had any problems. Their whole boneless cuts of beef are a good deal, delicious, and they will cut them any way you like. We usually get a roast and have the rest cut into steaks. Just grab a giant Flintstones size slab of meat, take it to the nearest guy in a butcher's coat and give him your name and how you want it cut up. Do the rest of your shopping and soon you will have a cart full of delicious meat. read more

My first time here; WILL NOT be my last! The people working to make this place what it is are kind, welcoming and helpful. Met the owner, Larry, and it's clear to see why Arnold's Meats is such a success. Everyone, from the cashiers to the butchers, had a smile and were ready to assist any way they could. As far as prices...can't be beat! I compared meat prices with several other places and they could not touch Arnold's prices! The shop itself is clean, organized and stocked with a huge variety of items. Can't wait to visit again! read more
