Amazing beef and service . Quality products and best wings in town . I highly recommend read more

What a wonderful butcher shop! They have so many products and their meat is top quality and so fresh! Customer service is impeccable! Highly reccommended checking out their bulk packages which are great for stocking the freezer! read more

This is a GEM of a place. Getting Irish products can be hard... or pricey! This lovely store had all my favorite products and even chocolate. The owner is so nice and even loaded my groceries into my car. I didn't just buy the Irish products, which were very reasonable, but I got stew meat as well. This shop is a little ride from my house but I will most definitely be back. The service alone is something to come back for. read more

Emerald Meats - Irish products - Meat Shops Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Oh my Goodness! To Everyone at Emeralds Meats - Thank you!!!! The second I stepped into this adorable place for the first time today, everyone was so attentive, informative and just so lovely! I moved to Worcester in 2004, and you opened your business the same year. I cannot believe all the years I have missed! Your marinated steak tips (both Butcher Bills and Burgundy Pepper) are hands down THE BEST I've ever had. So Good!!! I can't wait to try the sausages tomorrow and see you again soon! Thank you Thank you! read more

Lamb kabobs were disappointing. Basically marinated, With what tasted like a bottled dressing. Many bites were tough to chew. I was disappointed read more

Service is amazing! They have Boar's Head cold cuts. Their custom blend peppercorn spice on steak is ridiculously delicious!

Best butcher around! Ive been to all the local places and they have the best quality meats! Their staff is fast and friendly. Great family owned place. read more

You know why it's 5/5 consistently? This is the only place I'll go for good meat anymore. An older Irish gentleman runs it with a lot of young guys helping him. To a man, every one of them is "yes sir", "how can I help", "thank you, sir". The music playing is all from the 1940's. The selection is small but it's quality. Walking in is like stepping in to a time capsule, when service was good and people actually cared about their jobs. read more

Excellent service and produce.. very professional. This has become our go to spot. I highly recommend to try this place out

This is the place to get great fresh ground meats. Worth the time to go to instead of the grocery store where you get brown ground meat with red dye that gets put on them. Plus fresh cut tenderloin cut to what ever size you like. read more

Thank you thank you! You guys are the best at quality in your product and best in the customer experience especially in this crazy time. Today is my 39th wedding anniversary and bought some beautiful filet mignon. Just wanted to thank you for a wonderful meal! read more

Great fresh meat and excellent service timely and super friendly Baby back ribs and ground meat are my go to! Thank you! read more

I've been a customer of this shop since it opened. The quality has been declining lately. Tonight I had a #16 steak that was incredibly tough and had no flavor, ebb though I cooked it rare. Had to throw it out. I'm through. Never again read more

Excellent service! Attention to detail and the friendliest staff imaginable. Prices are great!

Went there last week to get something for dinner. Got two top sirloin pepper steaks and a pound of marinated steak tips. For two 1lb sirloins and a pound of marinated sirloin tips it ended up being 30$, not bad at all. Everyone was super friendly and helpful as well. read more

No bad words about Emerald Meats! They're my family's go-to whenever we visit my grandpa. It's great to stock up on the imported fry-up bits and bobs, and I usually raid the candy for a bit of sugary nostalgia. read more

Joan and Robert are the best!!!! All the employees are exceptional and so polite !!!great customer service!!!!! Don't miss out!!!! PS ground beef made to order!!! read more

Fantastic service, and I mean like it's 1946 full service with uniforms 1946, back in the day when clerks called you sir, people actually wanted to wait on you, and maybe they even carried your groceries to your car. All of which is commonplace here. The quality of the meat is stellar too, there is no reason to go to a grocery store and get sub prime quality, this place is first rate. read more

Yes. indeed I am a ranting, raving and screaming fan of Emerald Meats. I actually stopped in here completely by chance on my way home from the grocery store and had forgotten to get cold cuts. I was more than pleasantly surprised to find this gem of a place in Tatanuck. Haven't experienced many other butcher shops sadly but this has made me regret that I hadn't. It goes without saying the staff here is incredible... super friendly, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and the greatest part? Most of them are so young and it makes my little heart swell to see kids working so hard and so professionally. Score 1 point for humans. The owner of this place must be the kindest person ever, if you get the pleasure of speaking with him you'll see why this place is so popular, its got a solid foundation! Had a super bowl get together an ordered up a platter and wings last min. They had it all ready earlier than quoted and with everything I needed with a smile. Even after I called them a hundred times during such a busy day for them. Just outstanding. Deli meats are all boars head. All kinds of items available to take home and bake/fry/grill up and great house seasonings! Try the garlic herb spread - MMMMM!! This place has a traditional irish background so you will see some imported condiments and items on the shelves.- including the butter from Ireland... If you haven't had it you don't know what you are missing. If I ever move from this area I'll miss Emerald meats more than anything!!! read more

What a cutie pie little meat shop. It's clean and neat. There is plenty of parking and the owner has the brogue. I bought fresh lamb for my family's pre Easter dinner. Fair prices and small family owner business will bring me back. Plus, they sell Irish food items...score!! read more

Without a doubt the best steak tips ever. We get butcher bills or burgundy peppercorn. Always fresh always tender. We have tried steak tips at every meat market in the greater Worcester area and no one comes close! Also impeccable service and as mentioned, hospital room clean! read more

This is probably the best meat shop in Worcester in terms of cleanliness, friendliness, and quality products. My fiancé and I go to Emerald Meats at least once every two weeks, if not more. The cold cuts are delicious, especially the pastrami, and the cheese is super fresh. We've also tried both of the marinated steak tips they offer and they are DIVINE. Honestly, best and most tender steak I've had - it was like I'd gone to a restaurant, yet I was able to eat such quality meat in my own home. We've cooked those same steak tips for friends and they could not stop praising my fiancé, wondering how he'd managed to marinate the meat so well. We let them in on the secret of Emerald Meats and they assured us they'd make a visit whenever they were back in Worcester. Try this place out if you haven't. You won't regret it. The employees are very professional, friendly, and ready to help! read more

Yes the service is unbelievable and most of the meat is also. But tonight l bought 3 lamb kabobs and they were $24. Not a problem if the lamb wasn't so tough. I am a regular at the store and tried to call and leave a message, but couldn't leave a message on the system. So l am yelping. I wanted to know what part of the lamb is on the skewer. Definately not a tenderloin, which would be the best. It was very chewy, and l can cook. It wasn't the temperature, it was the meat. Sorry. Wanted you to know. read more

I absolutely love them. Great service, they are always so kind and helpful. Their meats are high quality and the preseasoned ones I've tried are perfect! read more

Simply the BEST Butcher Shop in Worcester.

Best butcher in the area! Joan, Robert and team are exceptional! Friendliest service! Quality of meats are top notch. Always happy with what I bring home from there. read more

The customer service here is amazing, and if I were rating this place on that alone it would be 5 stars. But the quality and variety of the meat they sell isn't impressive for the price. I mean, it's basically the same selection as you'd find in Stop and Shop. I'd really like it if they worked out something with like, John Crow Farm or somewhere similar, and offered a delivery point for the CSA or just sold more specialty / organic meat products. But... I still go in at least every other week because in the end, the service is just amazing and I do like supporting a local business. read more

Recently discovered this little gem. Super fresh meat and deli with some imported foods from Ireland. Like it mush better than D'erricos. It's much cleaner, better quality and the staff are very helpful and friendly. read more

Emerald Meats is hands down the best butcher shop around. All of the meats are prepared daily and the cold cuts are all boars head. I was really impressed with their ground beef. The gentleman working at the counter made it fresh, and it was still cheaper than any supermarket. The staff is extremely friendly and they have all sorts of Irish foods as well. read more

I'm usually not picky about what I eat, but I make an exception for cold cuts. I'm a Boar's Head fan, and the lack thereof in Worcester was gastronomically depressing. Then I found Emerald Meats. Cold cuts aside, this is one of the finest butcher shops in Worcester. The staff is beyond friendly, courteous, and helpful. Their meats are top quality, and their kabobs are out of this world. They also have a nice selection of stock imported from Ireland and the UK. Parking and hours are convenient. All in all, it's a great place to shop. read more

Perhaps the most attentive service I've ever come across. A small but high-quality selection. I've been trying quite a few things from here, and everything has been great thus far! A legitimate butcher shop. read more

I always have a great experience here. I do tons of cookouts and grilling in the summer time and this is the only stop. Steak, dogs, burgers, chicken, and kabobs are all fantastic. My personal favorite are the marinated steak tips, I have yet to fond anyone better. The owner is a wicked nice guy and has been a butcher his whole life, he used to work at Hadwen park market. read more

Emerald Meats is the best there is! Owners, Robert and Joan are great and I have never dealt with more polite young men that they have as employees!! read more

Best butcher shop in Worcester! The workers are friendly and extremely helpful. We love the meat quality ( especially the filet ) and the killer pepper rub they have there! read more

Five stars doesn't do our experience at Emerald Meats justice. Stopped in for our first time on Father's Day morning to grab some steaks. We thought it would be just a normal "grab some meat, then run" but both my wife and I walked out of there in a phenomenal mood, starting our day off perfectly! We were greeted with a welcoming "hello" during a very busy time for them- all the guys were cheerful, energetic, and hospitable, literally putting a smile on our faces. The fact that I didn't lead this off talking about the quality of steaks, speaks to the great shopping experience we had. But speaking of the steaks. . . phenomenal quality! We plan on stopping in every time we're back in Worcester! read more

Got two of the most tender filets at Emerald Meats. Best Valentines Dinner ever! Service is always really friendly and efficient. These folks know what they are doing. And if you need an Irish candy bar they got those too. Awesome read more

Absolutely love this place. The service is always amazing. The kids that work there can't be more accommodating and friendly. You truly feel like you're shopping at a friends store. The quality of the meats and cheeses is terrific. The Butcher Bill Kabobs are our favorite. Also the middle aged cheese spread. Love it. read more

Amazing , if you live in Worcester or nearby town you must try them . Amazing steak , lamb , deli meats , chicken . My favorite is the kabobs and butcher bill steak tips . Great people too !! read more

THE BEST! This is your local, family-run Butcher Shop, and the owners sell Premium Quality, Fresh Meats here. Believe me, the difference is noticeable. I would never buy any meat from supermarkets again. The Owners are also super friendly and helpful, along with all of their other employees. The place is run like a tight-ship, very well disciplined (just as it should be in the good ol' days when Americans were disciplined workers), and I want to very much congratulate the owner for keeping this Tradition alive, which is inherit of the hard-working nature and family-oriented nature in the Irish Spirit and ways. The owners go above and beyond to try to accommodate what you like, even if you need things marinated by letting them know ahead of time. Institutions like these are what made America great many years ago, and they are very few and far between these days, because the people who ran these kind of businesses have pride and love in what they do and who they serve. read more

The Best! The Cuthbert family aims to please and it shows. Old fashioned manners and service to your car. Wonderful cuts of meat and they will accommodate special orders. read more
