Came in one day to try the sausage sandwich deal they had posted up on a sign right outside as you walk in. The sausage seemed dry, old and not as good as it is when I make it at home. It did come with a tiny foam cup of banana pudding, potato salad some beans. They put a side of onions and pickles for the sandwich in a baggie. I was kind of excited to try the banana pudding, I was alright, was kind of stressed about my sandwich falling out of the bag earlier but I still liked it, I wasn't able to enjoy it like i would have if that didn't happen. The paper bag the guy put it in was wet for some reason, the BBQ sauce on the sandwich somehow leaked or it might of been the beans busted in the bag not sure what one was the issue but the sandwich meat n BBQ sauce fell out onto the floor and he replaced it without hesitation. His boss. I'm assuming ? She came over to make sure he was doing a good job as he was remaking the sandwich or was just curious what was wrong? No idea but she whispered something n he handed me back my food all fixed. Won't be getting the sandwich again. Really liked the jalapeno sausage from the case, they wrapped it up in half pound packages for me, chorizo was good. The venison jerky was vacuumed sealed. I keep a pack in my car for emergency traffic munchies, lol. They sell Divinity candy here and pecan pralines, cotton candy. I plan on coming here for my turkey this year for thanksgiving. "Cajun fried turkey" I never had a fried turkey before I'm going to trust this to them. Keeping my fingers crossed. read more

I walked into Choice Meat Market on Saturday morning ( 9/9/2023) and I bought an 18.53 lbs brisket and I asked them if they can smoke my brisket and they said it would take about 10hrs to smoke and they said come pick it up at 12 noon on Sunday and when I arrived on Sunday at 12 noon the cashier said can you please come back within the hour ( 1pm) I returned and when I got my brisket, " IT LOOKED OLD AND COLD"!! I WILL NEVER RETURN TO YOUR ESTABLISHMENT and I bought some additional items and paid over $250 on meats.. Someone told me they have NEW OWNERS.. I had family and friends over and they said it SUCKED!! read more

went in to buy some pork was told one pice but ended up paying more that's fine but the pork was bad made all of us sick wouldn't recommend

Should have known when I read they were under new ownership that it would be a wasted (hour long) trip. No more fresh meat in the coolers, everything was already vacuum sealed. We were told they no longer cut to order. The store seems so empty compared to before, and the coolers were only maybe 1/3 full. If you're looking for the old fashioned meat market they used to be, you will be very disappointed. read more

I guess they sold it cause I asked them and they said they bought. In September. They were not friendly at all like the last people. I love the other ones I bought a brisket sandwich. It's to dry and a ribs plate was not good It's to dry sorry I won't go back there again. read more

Been with this store for years I'd say since I first came to Texas back in 1980 as long as he's still there I'll drive from Rosharon Texas to shop there read more

I love this place and their staff. They will work with you by any means. The store is a little small and cramped. But the prices and staff are worth the squeezing. read more

so, whether you happen to stop in for an AMAZING freezer pack, or my personal fave dry rub, or maybe a full pork suckling? please try the special sausage sandwiches, they're crazy cheap but surprisingly satisfying! or step to the back and go for a bit more food, these people know what they are doing! (or get a bone that any dog LOVE! (huge for the price, i always suggest the giant smoked mammoth-sized bone for any good boy or girl! i may not live here anymore, but i have yet to come back south and not stop in for a few jars of rub! (heck, my ex husband even begs for a jar delivered lol) read more

6/15/2022 I spent a month ago over $100 here and they charged me for using my debit card. On several occasions I have bought stuffed bell peppers and the meat was spoiled. I bought a large amount of brisket before and it was bad, it did not taste that good. Its a good place to buy meat just beware of what you buy and always pay cash. read more

Love the chop sirloin and a hot meals great meat market!!

thank you for excellent and friendly service. Great selections of cuts, and thank you for the awesome suggestions on the method of cooking.

Ok so this is a meat market that offers great deals. My main goal here is to buy the bacon wrapped filets. They are only 5 oz but that works great for me. These are quality meat and with a coupon from valpak you can have them for 2 to 2.50 each. They will wrap them as you please for freezing. They also have already cooked BBQ and a full selection of meat. This is a full service meat market and it is a dying breed. You will get quality service here and the value is great. It is rare to find quality meat at a good value so if that is what you are looking for this is the place. read more

The uncooked meat was fresh but the cooked bbq brisket we ordered smelled rotten. We had to throw out. So be careful.

never been here it was my first time I really liked it the service was nice and I will definitely be coming here to purchase meat from now on read more

Omg these are the friendliest people in Pasadena with the cutest kitschy store....but the BBQ is horrendous. I was like, look at the.....old??? Ring? On this brisket? Dehydrated bacon bits on the loaded potato and old ribs to boot. It smells so damned good when you get out of the car but they're serving week old meat at the hot plate counter. Maybe they have favorites that are great but in Texas brisket and ribs are basic. Damn. Those ladies are sweet as pie oh that reminds me. The banana pudding had ONE WAFER. ONE. WAFER. It was soft unlike most places which is a plus. But jeez. Do better guys! read more

Not a fan. I got an ad in the mail and decided to take the long drive over to check out the 10lb ground beef for $24.99. Glad I brought the ad with me because they tried to charge me $4 over the sale price. Like the guy didn't know it was on sale. No big deal. The ground beef however, although lean as hell, is sopping wet with "blood", and smells gamey like wet dog. It reminds me more of venison than beef. Not saying I won't eat it, I'll just have to use it in chili and sloppy joes. It will be ok but not good enough to go back for more. Oh and another thing, none of the 1lb packages weighed 1lb. They were all shy by about an ounce. That would never fly if they were selling weed! read more

They are selling spoiled meat from the blackouts. I'm assuming and also assuming they knew this. When I called to speak to them about the situation they hung up and when I called back they never answered. I'm writing this review as a warning to please check your meat. We are low on money and what they did was immoral. read more

I have notbeen there In over 1 year, odd smell when you enter. I waited 10 minutes to be waited on, (only one In the store 3 three employees working just looking around) asked for 2 two round steaks and 5 # of bacon, ended up with 1 one round steak but I received 5 five # of bacon. I paid with my debit card, was charged 3% fee for using my debit card, no notice anywhere that there would be a fee. Also had to wait 10 minutes to receive my order, they used to be a great place to buy meat, but service and meat have gone down. I bought all my meat from there every month for 6 six years, but once the quality went down I stopped going. I can buy my bacon at the store from now on. read more

I have been shopping there for over 20 years..I promise you that they treat me the same way they did corn years ago a.k.a. just like family..And they have a very good choice of me prime have a great day and enjoy your shopping it choice of meat market read more

The best meat market in town. Try the bbq as well. The staff is very helpful and has the best prices in town.

Fake Bqq so bad... I did not like it at all... it was very very poorly done. I had a brisket sandwich. It wasn't good. Hardly any bqq sauce, I love bqq sauce, it's the best, but they didn't have any. read more

This old fashioned meat market is the best in the Houston area! They strive for quality in all their products. Not just the array of meats, but the stuffed olives, hot sauces, bbq sauces, and many other products are definitely worth the trip. While you're shopping to stock your freezer, make sure you grab a sliced beef sandwich with pickles and onions, their homemade bbq is the cherry on top to a perfect bbq sandwich! read more

One of the last old school country meat markets in the Pasadena area. The best!

I have been coming here since 1990 or 1991 when I lived in the area. Always fresh meat and good bbq sandwiches. I travel great distances to visit this place and each time they do not disappoint. read more

I have been going to this place since the mid 90's! Great meat, with great deals. They have many creative types of sales as well, keep your eye out because if you blink, it will be gone. read more

Choice Meats is a tradition with my family. We've gone there for years, and it's always carried the best cuts. The little place feels and smells like home when we walk in, and the staff is super helpful and friendly. We go about once a month with coupons and stock up - they wrap everything in whatever separate portions we need. It's one of those places that never lets us down. read more

Love this place. Everyone is nice. The prices are awesome. Every time we go in the smell knocks you down. It smells amazing.

I've been coming here for years, my mother lives right behind the store and I have memories of walking here for their meat and a chopped beef sandwich! The store has the sweet smell of wood smoke and that authentic BBQ taste! I now live on the west coast and make it mission to hit this place up for a taste of my childhood! The meat selection is amazing, they have tons of hot sauces to choose from and their rib plates are on point! read more
