"Ugly" steaks and an amazing choice of meats and seasonings. Wow, this place has it all and the steaks were terrific.

I've been buying prime rib roasts here for various holiday events for the past few years and each time has been great. Aside from the different cuts of meat, Dickman's also has delicious twice baked potatoes and stuffed mushrooms. They have other things I still need to try, such as sandwiches, but I've yet to order any. This last holiday, to save myself anxiety and FOMO, I called in to Dickman's to pre-order a rib roast. I believe I called in on a Friday for a pick-up the following Monday. As usual, there was a line, but it goes fairly quickly. I get up to the counter, give them my name for the reserved roast and add some green chile twice baked potatoes to the order. I walk over to the register, tell the cashier my name and what I'm buying; I pay and I'm outta there. Easy peasy. If you don't have a trusty butcher and don't want to buy from the regular grocery store, Dickman's is well worth it. read more

This is absolutely the best stop for prime meat. I picked up a filet mignoin and a twice baked potato. The steak on the Barbie was fantastic. The potato was just ok but good enough to finish. Between fresh and frozen, this is the place to come when you want the best. Lots of service, discount for cash. Fee for credit.. read more

Wow! This place is a legendary carnivore haven! Not just your average Butcher Store, Dickman's has flare and personality to boot! Obviously they have great fresh meats, but they also have an entire wall of wild game meets and fishes, carefully packaged and frozen. Everything from the most bizarre gave me you could imagine to fresh raw dog food. They also have tons and tons of sauces and spices to make your grilling dreams, come, true, they have baskets full of fresh locally made sourdough breads, and today they even had some delicious looking fresh asparagus on ice right as you walked in they are known for their "ugly steaks" which are fantastic for throwing on the grill... Not pretty, but great marbling coupled with some fantastic seasonings and you have a home run grilled meal! read more

Must visit for ugly steaks and twice baked potatoes! Our family eats this twice a month as an easy and DELICIOUS dinner.

GET THE UGLY STEAKS! They are so tender and melt in your mouth. They were $17.99 a pound and worth every penny. Better than any steakhouse around. It was busy for Mothers Day weekend. Staff were friendly. They had samples of strudel from Viro's Italian Bakery which was a treat. The freezer wall had all kinds of exotic meat and a full fridge of German goods. Lots of spices, sauces, and local goods. This place is awesome. read more

Please read the entire review. Instead of changing it, I have left my first somewhat angry reaction and later I added the correction. If only they could properly train their staff. I bought some salads which were fine, tuna, ham, and slaw. Then I asked for a smoked turkey leg. She told me where to look. I brought it back and asked, "This is smoked, correct?" She assured me it was. "We only have smoked turkey legs. If it's in the case, it has been smoked." Later today I will bring the defrosted unsmoked, raw leg back. Of course, they won't refund. How can they with no price left on? Of course, they will say I should have known it wasn't smoked. And, of course, I will leave unhappy. So, be sure you ask at least two staff the same question before believing the answer and even then be prepared to be frustrated. I take it back. I received an apology and a refund. Even management thought it should have been smoked and said they didn't know how the mistake was made. read more

I love the diversity of meats. The freezer has so much different cool stuff but they need a new way to organize it other than ugly sharpie brown boxes labeled better. I bought a few things on sale but pretty sure the girl behind the counter didn't know what was on sale. I bought 1.99lb sausages but she didn't mark those down AND bought the chips for 1/2 price salsa or something but that didn't get discounted either and it was too busy to bother arguing read more

Meh. Ugly steaks are definitely worth a stop there to buy. Website says they close at 7 pm. I stopped in at 5:25 pm Thursday for 2 lbs of hamburger and 1 lb of Black Forest ham. Woman at deli gave a hard "NO" to slicing ham for me. If you want deli items after 5 pm, I recommend calling to make sure they are still accommodating otherwise, just go to Safeway on Ina and Oracle for deli meat. That's what I had to do. read more

Great butcher shop. I am from Wisconsin and while traveling in Tucson for work I went here to secure some food to cook at my hotel. Was surprised to find a shop with Wisconsin ties. Great bratwurst and steaks. Awesome selection of WI products. Staff was very friendly and a bunch of Green Bay Packers memorabilia all over. I highly recommend it. read more

I'm here on Christmas day, when all the presents have been opened, to give Yelp a review on Dickman's. I bought boneless Ribeyes for Christmas eve dinner and I must say; they were out-of-this-world amazing!!! I've always had a tough time finding a decent steak in Tucson since I moved here in 2013. I could go to a high end restaurant and pay $$$$ for a steak but I was determined to find a butcher that gave me a great steak for a good price. Someone mentioned Dickmans and their 'ugly steak' and I've never been disappointed. This year I decided to buy the Ribeyes for Christmas eve and they had to be the most flavorful and tender steaks Ive ever had. I give good reviews where they're deserved. They deserve a GREAT review. Funny thing, is I waited to go to Dickmans on the 23'd and at noon. Probably, the worst time. I bought Ribeyes and ugly steaks. The Ribeye was about $20.00 each and the Ugly steaks were about $19.00/lbs. The line was literally (almost) out-the-door. Many, standing in line, had pre-orders and literally waited longer than I waited to pick up their orders. I still recommend pre-ordering to allow Dickmans the opportunity to have enough steaks for the people like me, that don't have the sense to pre-order. Again, the Ribeyes were the best steaks we've had in YEARS. Thank you Dickmans! We're still licking our plates! Sherri- Tucson, Az read more

The meat is high quality and they cut it/tie it/trim it whatever you need. That's great. It gets one star knocked of because it's like a 3 ring circus. The head person at the counter is half asleep. The butchers are shouting out orders and nobody knows who is ready and who is not. Overall good place but be prepared to be annoyed. read more

I have come here plenty of times and this last experience will be my final time. Customer service has been good like 20% of the time I go there. Sometimes when I walk in I feel like I have leprosy with the amount of reluctance I get from anybody wanting to attend me. 2 stars cause the quality of the meat is pretty good Do yourselves a favor and go to Ben Forbes if you want to support local butchers. read more

Very helpful and knowledgeable staff helped us with our purchase. Definitely worth the trip to find your choice of meats.

Was making a short rib recipe, closest stop was Davison but they didn't have short rib. Stopped here and they had the short rib that I needed and they cut it to size. Overall was pretty good for me, the guy behind the counter yelled at the customers bunched up. I get it, but expect to know what you are looking for without any nonsense or you might get yelled at. read more

Be careful doing business with Dickman's Meat and Deli! (This is not the first negative experience we've had BUT this one definitely tops them all!) Location: The Oracle location When this happened: September 22, 2024 around 2:15-2:30pm. To start, my husband was standing and waiting about 10 min. This business was NOT busy. My husband went to get some meat and there was 3 other customers waiting to be helped. There was 4 people working literally just standing and talking to each other not helping ANYONE. First older gentlemen that was first in line in front of my husband spoke up and said very loud and clear "hello, I need to be helped." The 4 workers turned around and looked at him and everyone waiting and then turned back around and kept talking amongst themselves. My husband spoke up right after that and said loud and clear "this gentlemen in front of me needs to be helped!" All 4 workers turn around and rudely said "we'll be with you in a moment!" And turned back around and kept talking again Older gentlemen again spoke up loud and clear and said "you guys are standing around not doing anything and yoh have a line of people waiting." 1 worker turned around and said "what do you need?" Older gentlemen and my husband both looked at each other and said "I will not be coming back here again!" Needless to say they all had major attitudes and standing around with thumbs up their a$$. Ps: if owners can contact me about this I'd love to speak to you. read more

Great place to shop. Great meat, great prices. Everything is fresh. I won't buy meat anywhere else.

Great selection and good cuts of many types of meats. I buy many of their products including sandwiches as well.

I enjoy the products at this store; however, the last two times I went the worker was not wearing gloves. He reached into the ground meat fingernails and all and then preceding with getting the other orders without watching his hands. The last time I went same thing almost at closing. A different work got my meats and wiped his dirty hands in his dirty apron. He also checked me out at the register, touching the register, bread and vegetables with the same dirty hands. I noticed 2 workers in the back wearing gloves but not in the front. Makes no sense. Where's Bar Rescue? read more

Amazing place! Dickman's reminds me of delis in New York City when I worked there back in the 1980's. Great corned beef!

Old fashioned, real deal, butcher shop. Just like my grandfather owned and everything is just what you would expect. The highlight is the world famous "Ugly Steak" and it is not to be missed. Just go! read more

I've been a fan of Dickman's deli for years. A month ago I saw they were taking preorders for turkeys, and I ordered one. Perfection! The turkey was the best one I have ever roasted and its carcass is now simmering into the best turkey soup I've ever made. And I've been doing this for more than 70 years. I can't say enough about the quality of the food they stock, or the people who work there. Simply outstanding! read more

STAFF: Everyone is very nice. FOOD: A variety of options to choose from but be careful with he egg salad- although it's very tasty, sometimes, depending on who's making it, you'll come home with a tub of may and minimal egg. PRICING: Getting a little over priced on some items. AMBIANCE: Take out PARKING: Ample read more

Dickman's is a Tucson treasure that I was lucky enough to hear about from a friend years back. My favorite items are the ugly steaks and twice-baked potatoes, but every cut of meat I've tried has been top notch. The service is always fast and friendly and prices are great. I highly recommend a trip to Dickman's the next time you feel like cooking steak or burgers, and definitely check them out before you spend the time and effort making twice-baked potatoes at home. read more

While a business is not allowed to review another business on Yelp, we bought the most delicious 17 pound prime rib from Dickman's Meat and Deli! The roast was trimmed, boneless, tied and ready to go when we picked it up. They also gave a few good tips on seasoning and use of a wonderful tool called a Meater Thermometer. Their prices are competitive and their quality second to none. Our guests said it was "the best" prime rib they ever had! read more

My boyfriend got a goft card here for his birthday and we decided to go get some sandwiches and meat there yesterday. I didn't know what exactly to expect but I walked in and there was a very weird smell. The place itself is small with 4 little tables to eat at if you want to stay and eat your sandwiches. I opted against eating there because of the smell and there were a few flies buzzing around. The lady who took our sandwich orders was very abrupt and definitely acted like she didn't want to be speaking to anyone. I ordered the sandwich of the day, Italian Sub and it said it came with a "side salad". To me a side salad means greens with a dressing or something. So I asked instead of a side salad to get a pasta salad. She rudely replied back that a side salad is a pasta salad. Um...okay? Then I asked if the hot cappy meat was spicy. She told me yeah that's what hot means. Lol. Last I checked hot is a temperature not a spice level. But whatever. So I asked to remove the hot cappy and pepperoncinis. My boyfriend had a rye bread sandwich with provolone and turkey. Unfortunately my sandwich bread was soaked in some sort of oil dressing which made it very soggy. I think the sandwich was also warmed and the meat edged were burned which tasted weird. The "side" pasta salad was good but came in a teeny tiny little cup...maybe 2 tablespoons worth of pasta salad. I only finished one half of the sandwich and threw the other half away. We also got some cheese curds which were decent, along with some frozen gyro meat. We haven't made the gyros yet but I hope the meat is decent. Unfortunately I probably won't ever order a sandwich from there again but would go back for their meat selection. read more

I so appreciate the quality of Dickman's meat. My family has been buying meat there for years! I always receive excellent customer. Cody is one that absolutely stands out. He always goes the extra mile for me . He is truly an asset to Dickman's at Broadway and pantano. Stephanie read more

Pro: Great selection of cuts of meat & spices to make steaks, burgers, you name it. Their "ugly steak" is a family favorite. Cons: * The smell. PU...big time. * The last time we were there (12/31), I saw a worker put his ungloved hand into the ground hamburger after ending his shift to purchase some before he went home. Ew. So, if you want good selection and are confident your grilling process will burn off potential germs, this is the place. read more

I walked by and saw they ere poem and I'm glad I did. A huge selections of meats, breads, cheeses and frozen goods in huge sizes. A fair price for excotic meats and items you won't find anywhere close by. Friendly staff which can be rare these days. read more

I love this small old school meat market. It's like stepping back in time. And I think it's so important to support local establishments like this in the community. We've been here three or four times now and the meat has always been excellent. We love the tri tip and sausage. It's definitely not the cheapest place in town. But I've always been satisfied with the quality of my purchases. The place always seems busy on the weekends. Sometimes they're a bit short with you as they attempt to move the line quickly. But I think that's just how they need to roll in order to speed customers along as quickly as possible. So don't take that personal if you patronize this establishment. They're just trying to get things moving along. read more

Great steaks, fantastic service, excellent meat case. Variety of hard to find frozen meats.

I bought a Porterhouse today and took it home to grill. I grilled my steak and sat down to enjoy it but much to my dismay, there was a strong taste of rotten flesh - it was so strong I could not eat any of it. I went back and spoke with Cody who cut me a new Porterhouse. This one was a bit bigger and it actually cost about $10 more. I was planning on paying the extra $10 but Cody would not have it. He said he wanted to cover the inconvenience of my having to make a second trip. He apologized for the state of the first steak and without any questions, made it right. Customer service is hard to come by this day and age and I felt I got treated right and then some. Thanks Cody. read more

Bought a few Ugly Steaks. They are excellent and reasonably priced. The store is an interesting throwback. They have an interesting selection of exotic and wild game meats. The service was excellent. read more

Cuts 10,000 times better than anything at any supermarket chain. These guys don't do ambience. They do food.

We have shopped here almost every week since we moved here in 2018. The meat is consistently good; so much so that I can't shop for meat at a supermarket now. We come from the Midwest, where really good meat is readily available. No wonder Dickman's is from Wisconsin! read more

The service is exceptional-everyone is so knowledgeable and helpful. The prime rib is to die for. Always top notch! The shop reminds me of the meat market we went to when I was little. Brings back great memories. read more

If I could give less than one star, I would. They charged me extra for gift cards. Who does that and why? I took the time to ask the question on their business Facebook page and also took time to personally send a letter to their Broadway location. They didn't have the courtesy to respond to either one. It's utterly ridiculous that I would pay more than face value for a gift card. read more
