Prices are the only thing keeping it from 5 stars. Sometimes quality costs more, and that is often the case for say, their meats and fish. But the packaged goods and vegetables glom onto this reputation, and are more than they need to be. I am not much of a drinker, so can't speak about their beer or wine prices. But for carnivores or pescatarians, Cartwright offers options and quality that are hard to equal in the valley. read more

Yum yum yum. Delicious outdoor BBQ and impressive meat and wine inside, among produce and other groceries. In from out-of-town we stopped for the outdoor bbq tri-tip, available by the sandwich (~$13) or the pound (~$20). We got a pound and quarter, plus four rolls--they were toasted and warm. I added some fresh rosemary from a nearby bush, plus a bit over jus....and it was perfect!! Inside, there is a beautiful meat case and seafood, and a nice selection of some top shelf wine and champagne. I would definitely be a regular if I were local! read more

You have to get there on Saturdays to pick up delicious tri-tip and bbq chicken sandwiches. Just phenomenal. And don't forget to pick up some great steaks, sausages and sides. Their prices aren't cheap i general, but the quality is great so the meat is still a good value. read more

The Saturday BBQ Tri-tip sandwich is amazing. Every time I am in town I try to have it. My Mom lives in town and probably has it twice a month. Have also pre ordered a whole tri-tip and that was also wonderful The store and deli are also great. I love their ham and sometimes get some to take home to Portland. They make a lot of items in house and have specialty items. I know there is a senior discount day just not sure of the day. read more

Great sandwiches! Sometimes the wait can be long so be sure to plan ahead if you're on a time constraint.

Very good selection and friendly staff. I also was surprised with the daily selection of filets wrapped in bacon at a very affordable price

A unique food store where you can find a variety of different foods. The deli sandwiches are delicious and very much worth the price.

Sometimes hit or miss. Have had great there and not so great. If you can handle the wait that is. Don't go there for lunch you'll be waiting forever to get your order. Seems the wait times have gotten longer and longer which is unfortunate. But over priced and usually decent to say the least read more

Best Meat Market Around. Great service. Very professional. You definitely get what you pay for. read more

Excellent meat and fabulous service. Delicious sandwiches, and organic vegetables. Great parking, just walk right in.

This is a great place to go to if you have any specialty meats you desire everything is fresh and you can order it as well. They have a great deli where they can make you sandwiches or you can pick from a variety of salads. When we feel like prime rib this is the place to go it's fantastic read more

Amazing staff The woman who run this store are amazing, you get what you pay for, Period. Keep up the good work and thanks for all your hard work read more

Shelly in catering is so wonderful to work with. She was available by phone, open to multiple phone calls with questions and so sweet. The food was AMAZING!!!! We had more than enough at a great price. Tritip, chicken, potato salad, beans, green salad and their house made bread. My, non bread eating brother couldn't stop eating it. They were busy with the bbq outside when the order was picked up and our salad was left behind. They drove it to our house when we called. Which totally made up for it. I cant say enough good things about our whole experience! Thank you for making my wedding tasty! read more

love the staff & service i receive at cartwrights! their meat has never failed me & love that they have deals on meat on certain days!

This has to be the absolute best deli sandwiches i have had. Their half sandwich is larger than most deli's full sandwiches. The employees all make you feel like family and their market is awesome. read more

Cartwright Valley Meat - This is the half sandwich - Meat Shops Near Me - Grants Pass, Oregon

If I could I would give these guys 6 stars! I've been coming here for three straight years now on a regular, weekly basis. As a chef, I needed to find a local butcher shop that could provide me top-notch proteins (beef, pork, chicken & seafood). Even on my first visit back in 2014 I was happily surprised to find this gem right in my backyard. I had tried other shops (Eagle Point's "Butcher Shop" and Medford's "Cherry Street") and Cartwright's is far and away the best in the Rogue Valley. In addition to fantastic, in-house cut meats, their deli is also amazing. Imported cheeses, house-prepared cold cuts and a wide selection of sides. The "store" is also packed with other provisions from pasta to potatoes. I hear they buy from local farms and try to keep things seasonal for best flavor and freshness. The staff is particularly friendly and helpful. Those I've gotten to know over the last 3 years (Billy, Elizabeth, Shelly, Julia, Sierra, Zach, Travis, Sherry & Tim) I consider as friends. I truly respect the way Jamie runs the store and tries his hardest to keep it clean and well stocked. Thank you! read more

Amazing deli! Everything was very fresh and delicious! We tried the Phillie Cheese Stesk and also the smoked turkey. Portion are generous so we split a sandwich each day. Yum! read more

Having spent five years managing a retail store for a globally renowned beef company, I have become quite the meat and grocery store snob. I have elevated my standards also for poultry, seafood, and especially the veggies to accompany said proteins. I can honestly conclude that the Cartwright model of butcher, taproom, deli and grocer is absolutely spectacular and worth going out of your way to visit. Here is how I would suggest spending part of a day at Cartwright: 1) Sample every beer they have on tap 2) Order a freshly made sandwich and more beers to enjoy in their back dining area 3) Buy more meats, veggies and flavorings to grill at home. I am jealous, Grants Pass. We have nothing like this in SoCal. I hope to get back up there someday soon. read more

Fantastic assortment of meats and everything looked so fresh and juicy! I've yet to cook up my selection but my family had sandwiches for lunch from their deli and they were very hearty! We were all impressed and wish we lived closer so we could go again soon! read more

Saturday BBQ was great - ordered a tri tip sandwich for about $8. They ran out of ribs, but I would bet they're pretty good. Baked beans were sweet and awesome. Picnic tables on the lawn under the shade of big ol trees. Love. The shop itself if super cute, clean, organized. I would purchase all my meat here if this store was near me. They have a decent selection of "ethnic foods" as well, stuff I don't always see at big supermarkets (like japanese golden curry!). And a clean bathroom (it tells you a little bit about their hygiene standards). read more

I think I've just replaced "The Butcher Shop" with Cartwright's! They have a beautiful selection of meats and cuts, lots of the produce is organic and local, and they even have a little deli there! We bought some hot dogs (which were very tasty) and dog food. The dog food is very reasonably priced and my dog absolutely loves it, I know what's in it and it's cheaper than canned dog food. The people there are extremely nice and if you buy something and want it cut a certain way, they'll do it. So glad I came in here and I can't wait to come back to stock up! read more

I've never made it into the store, which I hear is excellent. I've only ever eaten at the Saturday BBQ out front, which is also excellent. So very, very excellent. Both brisket and pork ribs very well done with nice smoke and moistness. It's all take-away eating, though, unless you're lucky enough to snag one of the handful of picnic benches at the edge of the lot. But who cares! You just stumbled onto some outrageous 'cue you weren't expecting. If they sold beer it'd be five stars for sure. If you are looking for barbeque in Southern Oregon (on a Saturday), this is your spot. read more

OMG Greatest BBQ on West Coast Period And a Restaurant now!!

My business must not be important. I have called several times for catering and the answer I get is deli manager is not available, I ask can anyone else help and I am told no she handles the catering and she was off yesterday and she is really busy. This just told me you can't handle your current work load and need more help. No one is eager to provide service, sorry to say I am taking my business elsewhere. Suggestion train others to help! read more

They have a great selection and they carry Leroy's dipping sauce which is yummi and hard to find in Oregon. The meats are fantastic!

Cartwrights is amazing, great prices, outstanding selection, and terrific quality. The thing that stands out most to me though is their customer service. All the employees are very friendly and seem genuinely happy to be at work. Today I was served by Jodi at the meat counter. She was extremely friendly and helpful. She very kindly wrapped my large order of meat individually by the pound to make it much easier to stock my freezer. She was so happy to do so even though I'm sure it's a bit of a hassle. Many other places I go employees seem to be exasperated when I request this. Jodi was very patient with me and answered all my questions very knowledgeably. I love cartwrights to start with but Jodi in particular has made me a customer for life! Thank you so much! read more

Meat is the key word! Bacon BBQ ! Love them! They rock and there is one comin to Medford! Yeah!

I was looking for grass fed beef and was sent here. While they no longer sell it because it didn't go over well with their customer base (people, wake up!) they did have meat that is free of hormones etc. I scored a great steak. Just wish it was grass fed from a local rancher. read more

i can't believe i'm the first to review this place. the best place to get meat in grants pass. some local options. mainly northwest grown food. (or they make it seem this way). they make their own sausages, hot dogs and lunch meats (limited number made in house - standards: ham, turkey, bologna, roast beef, etc. these are well made and relatively inexpensive) it is not just a butcher shop, it is pretty much a full scale supermarket, but on a small scale. does that even make sense? who cares? the meat is waaaaaaay better than at safeway and the prices are comparible, if not better. they have a good deli counter where you can get a sandwich, or some prepared salads or a house made hot dog for only one buck! there is absolutely no reason to buy meat anywhere else in grants pass. the quality is much higher and priced well. get over it, buy a ny strip, and shut up. read more

What a disappointment! I went in to buy meat since that is what they are supposed to be all about. NOTHING in the entire case of meat is organically fed, grassfed, no hormones, no antibiotic meat. It's almost like they are against healthy cows. Amazing. They do have a little bit of frozen organic meat, but I advise going across the street to Gooseberries to buy your meat. I will never, ever go here again and I certainly wouldn't put any of their meat in my body. read more

If you want a huge sandwich or a burger that puts any five star restaurant to shame come to the deli and order one. They also sell the best bacon in town. read more

More outside seating to enjoy the AWESOME deli sandwiches. Just cannot beat this place for a sandwich, ribs& burgers

Awesome. I love this place. I love the environment, the employees, the food. The deli has awesome food with specials every day and soup Monday through Friday that's all made from scratch. Keep Jeremy around. He is just the best. Your whole deli crew is the best. I highly recommend this place for meats and lunch/dinner. (Close at 6) so you'd have to eat dinner early lol. Thank you guys!!!! read more

I came here today for the Saturday barbecue, four of us in our group. We came prepared to spend good money on our meal, and were so disappointed with both our service and the food! Three different people halfway helped us, and by the time the third, extremely obese lady came to finish our order, she acted like we were the problem, cutting us off in mid order and interrupting, all in a very rude tone. I was able to stay calm, but I was so upset! I definitely didn't feel welcomed. The food itself was overly sweetened, the baked beans too sugary and the coleslaw had an overly sweet flavor as well. The meat portions were skimpy and chewy, too thick of slices, undercooked, making chewing the food really difficult. I will NOT give this establishment my money again!!! read more

Great place.... surly employees. This establishment easily has the best selection of high quality meats and fresh seafood in Grants Pass. The other departments (produce, frozen, wines, etc) are all really wonderful. So why do I not thoroughly enjoy shopping here? Because most of the employees are just down right surly! Especially the ones behind the meat counter. They mostly act like you're an idiot and a big inconvenience. I've seriously only experienced three nice employees and I shop there monthly. I'll keep shopping there, too. I'll just be surly right back. read more

How do I love thee? Let me grill the ways. My grandparents moved to Oregon more than 30 years ago, but when I think of Grants Pass now, I don't think of picking wild blackberries, wading in the creek, or chasing barn cats around the workshop. I think of Cartwright Valley Meat Co. I sit up straighter at the thought of your succulent selections. You are the star of my Southern Oregon suppers and the golden yolks on my breakfast plate. Two must gets: the German sausages and the farm fresh eggs. read more

Great meat selection! Oxtail, sausage casings, etc. antibiotic free meat and lots of organic produce!

Excellent sandwiches! They are huge, with lots of meat. Large selection of beers on tap, fresh fruit and home made bread.

I didn't try the meats but I did fill up a couple growlers huge selection of beers. I will definitely be back before I leave town.
