Also tried the short ribs and sausages which are mouthwatering. Joe is very pleasant to deal with, very friendly, easy going and accommodating, he definitely hooks it up. Everything I have purchased and tried here was just amazing, the savings from his pricing is also a bonus. I always recommend The Chop Shoppe to anyone interested in purchasing the best quality meats, I refuse to buy from anyone else!

Looking for some different cuts of meat I came across La Carniceria Meat market. After some…read moreresearch, I noticed they are one of the few places that offers picanha (a cut of the top sirlion widely used in Brazilian steak houses). I love this cut of meat when I go a Brazilian steak house and so I buy some so I can make at home. They also offer Wagyu cuts along with ribeye's, tri-tip and short ribs. There is also a selection of pork, chicken and seafood for all palettes. The staff was really nice, friendly and answered all my questions on how to best prepare the picanha. Overall, the meat was of high quality and came out perfect. I look forward to coming back when I'm having another craving for BBQ.

I bought a brisket kolache which was phenomenal. The best thing I ate in Texas on my 9-day trip. I got some jerky which was delicious and perfect to have in my backpack while hiking in Big Bend. I also bought some cherry salsa and bourbon bacon bbq sauce. I didn't tear into them until I got home. My only regret is I didn't buy more. I need to make another road trip to Texas and next time I will bring my cooler and max out my credit card.

And I always bring an ice chest to get some custom cut steaks which is always nice. Great Stop! I like it so much. I bought a t-shirt

I'm a Texan so I LOVE beef, but have spent enough time in South America to enjoy some texture instead of the velvety smoothness of a tenderloin. Check out their website. All sorts of cuts are available and they all put supermarket steak to shame. I took a pic of a tomahawk ribeye, a flanken rib, and a Dino Pop, which is a MASSIVE osso bucco I can't wait to prepare. We are experimenting with cold smoking before searing. This is special occasion beef, but I'd suggest you get some for every day use.

I knew it was going to be good when I walked in and the first thing I saw was Gateway Drum smokers and PK grills. I was greeted by the gal working (I didn't catch her name but very nice, lots of tats on her arms) and she told me the shop is family owned and the cattle all raised nearby. She then walked me through the market and talked to me about all the various cuts and their given versatility. Though I'm not a classically trained chef, I cook often for large groups and have cooked in a restaurant before so I was already familiar with all the cuts but I remained quiet and listened- I was so pleasantly surprised by her depth of knowledge. Their selection is outstanding- ground beef of every ratio imaginable, sausages of all types, briskets, tri-tips, hanger, Denver, Flat Iron, London broil, chuck roasts, eye of round, beef ribs of every variety, tomahawk and traditional ribeyes, New York strips, flank steak, skirt steaks, tenderloins, half tenderloins, Thor's Hammer, Oso bucco, beef cheek, lengua, You name it, they had it on hand and it was great quality cuts in cryopack ready to go. Excellent pricing for Wagyu too. I spent $200 and walked out with several excellent cuts and am already planning my next stop in. Don't pass it by on your way through, great place!

You find it because you are meant to. Country Mart is as simple as it gets, and that is exactly where its charm lives. I was hungry off the road and ordered a chicken quesadilla, plain chicken with bacon and jalapeños. No frills, no funny business. Just trust. The lady with me went straight for the local Tuesday special, steak fingers. I did not get one myself, and I regret that. They came out looking fresh, homemade, and exactly how steak fingers should look. Golden, honest, and made by someone who knows what they are doing. Now, the quesadilla. Crispy, packed, and clearly made with intent. This was not some lazy throw-together. This thing had heart. It had purpose. It had soul. Every bite delivered exactly what you want when you order a quesadilla in a place like this. And the sweet tea. Mate, the sweet tea. Cold, strong, and perfect. The kind of tea that reminds you where you are and why you stopped. All in all, this was a very pleasant and completely unexpected turn. Country Mart is the kind of place you remember, the kind of place you come back to, and the kind of place that deserves all the attention it can get. I'll be back.
