Holzman Meats - Tuna Salad Sandwich w/smoked cheddar and fries! - Meat Shops Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Great customer service and food. Their sandwiches are so big and fresh. There are so many options for meats and cheeses. The prepared foods are delicious. read more

The only reason I'm not giving them one star is because I do love their sides, and the sandwiches are pretty good. However, either they some of the rudest people working there or they are just down right racist. On one occasion I waited while an older gentleman (may be the owner) waited on a lady in front of me. After he was done, he just walked away like I wasn't even there. When I questioned him about what had just happened, his excuse was that he assumed I was with the lady he waited on. I call BS on that one. So, today, I walked up to the counter, the guy I mentioned earlier and another guy were on the customer side of the counter talking with another guy on the service side of the counter. They all looked at me and continued their conversation about the cost of a smoker and something about a grinder. One of the guys on the customer side of the counter told the guy behind the counter that there's someone needing assistance. This asshole looks and me and says "I will be right with you" and continued his story about the smoker. A woman from the deli had to come over and help me. Again, either they are the rudest fucks around, or they are just out right racist. I'm going to play race card on this one. read more

This sandwich here would be my choice for final lunch meal of my life if I had to pick. I have only ever ordered one thing here, the Chicken Salad BLT special with smoked gouda cheese added. Everything about this sandwich is perfectly done; the taste, the size, the price, and it is made to order. The staff here is friendly and efficient, even at busy lunch hours. So many other things look good on their menu and in the deli case... they offer many pre-made meals, sides, and deli specials. Their meats always look amazingly fresh. There isnt much space inside, but there are nice tables out front if you prefer to eat there. You really must try this unassuming family owned deli tucked away in a tiny plaza just off I-275 in Montgomery. read more

I've stopped in twice and haven't been let down. This little gem is tucked in a shopping strip on Montgomery. Staff - super friendly and family feel. Step up and start ordering. Meat - I've only gotten a couple frozen chicken breasts stuffed with Brie and cranberry. I'm hoping to put those on a plate soon. I purchased these on a recommendation from another customer. Deli - the egg salad and ham salad are DELICIOUS! I could eat a pound of it by myself. I've gotten pepperoni and cheese sliced as well and exactly what I was wanting. Other items - local food items. Yummy pickles from Indiana. English muffins from Blue Oven. Sauces, chips, wines. Put your meal together in one stop! read more

Small little butcher shop that also serves sandwhiches for lunch. Incredible value for the price and totally hidden by a butcher store front! read more

Chicken salad BLT sandwich is their special for a reason. Had it with smoked gouda (per Heather L.'s suggestion) and it was packed with flavor and holds the essence of a perfect sandwich in one bite. Also had their cheeseburger and my roommate's leftover cubano sandwich- all delicious. I don't think you can go wrong with anything on their menu. read more

If anyone deserves 5 stars - it's Holzman Meats. It's tucked away in a strip mall center in Montgomery hidden behind a gas station and Mcabe's Lumber. It's humble and not trying to be anything it's not. What is it though? A good old fashioned butcher shop and DELI! If there is anything that Cincinnati needs - its more traditional deli's. It's funny people often think I am fancy and the truth is, I'm not. I don't need some fancy pants sammie. What I need is: quality in it's simplest form. And it is something that when I see it, I appreciate it, and I scream from the rooftops about it. Holzman Meats is just that. Farm raised beef, chicken, eggs, and a surprisingly large amount of fresh seafood. This is the stuff that gets me excited. When you shop local you build a relationship with your butcher and he/she can alert you when something amazing comes in they think you will like. THIS IS THAT PLACE. This is also a place where you can pick up everything you need for a picnic or a supper at home when you just don't have the time. They have pre-made potpies ready for the oven, quiches, potato salads, and pasta salads. We didn't order them so I can't speak to the quality of these - but the convenience for busy families is a definite win. As for the deli, it offer's Boar's Head and a surplus of fun condiments. You can choose from the menu or build your own. The gentleman behind the counter let us know they are known for their panini's. We got turkey bacon in both the panini and the cold deli sammie. Both were simple, but perfectly delicious and no joke our total was $10 for two sammies and a drink - WHAT?! We stopped at another local spot before this and nothing jumped out at us, and not to be weird but a similar sandwich was $12 on it's own. Not only is this place a bargain - you cannot put a price on the service. The young man taking care of us was excited to tell us about the place (without even being prompted) and you could tell he was proud to work there. It made me feel good about spending our money there and even though it's far from where I live, I would make a special trip back here just to experience this level of service again. Keep doing what you're doing Holzman family! read more

Got a bacon and cheese panini for a picnic and it was delicious. The staff is friendly, and I will be going here again.

I wanted to support local business, so I ordered our Father's Day filets from Holzman for pickup. (Two 10 oz and three 8 oz filets). Sent my son to pick them up and they charged me $115.00!!!! That's 54.00 PER POUND!!!! Haven't cooked them yet; for that price they should cook themselves. I won't make this mistake again. read more

I've only been here once on a reco from a friend and she raved about it! I picked up some ribeyes and filets to grill at home for Valentine's Day dinner. I went with the choice cut ribeyes since they are priced more reasonably and less fatty. The guy who helped me was friendly and helpful. While I was waiting for my daughter to text me about her order I walked around the store. There are two sides that have an opening between them. One side is the meat counter and refrigerated/frozen meats and seafoods, as well as wine and desserts. There are also potatoes if you don't want to make a stop at the grocery store, plus dried pastas and sauce in jars. On the other side is the deli counter that also has pre-made foods (mac n cheese, chicken pot pies that my friend says are wonderful, salads, etc.). Will have to go back and try some of these! Our steaks were delicious! read more

Can't tell if this place is racist or just rude. Often times racist owners of stores will just be rude yet still serve you in an effort to prevent you from coming back. Otherwise they would be sued. The very first interaction to the last with an older gentleman was filled with hate. It was the first time I've been there and the last. Which is a real shame, I strive to patron local small businesses to help support our own against big businesses and national chains. Other wise appears to be a great store, but I can't support what appears to just another racist location. Apparently they spammed my reviews with funny votes. read more

This place has been around for. Looong time and i love it. They are awesome and they have the best stuff. Meats are great. The Deli is excellent. All in house made salads and such are wonderful. Thank The Lord there are still places like these. read more

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is because of how long you have to wait. If you're in a hurry this isn't the place. They move with zero urgency. Still with the wait though. Just don't expect to get in and out. I asked how long should you cook the stuffed peppers and after 10 minutes of waiting I had to leave. read more

You can always count on Holman to have what you need! The staff is always friendly and helpful. This is my go to spot!

Hidden back in the shopping plaza, next door to Bonnie Lynn Bakery, is this little deli/meat shop that's an awesome treasure. I pop in for lunch here and there because they will make you a giant sandwich for super cheap. They've got Boar's Head meats and cheeses... in fact, a giant case full of great stuff. But the best... they will slam together an awesome Cuban panini that's gigantic! They've also got other great deli stuff... and the peanut butter pie... well... holy YUMMY batman!! If you're near the intersection of Montgomery & 275, you're missing out on a little treasure that's worth the stop. read more

Amazing meat market and deli. We've been going here for years. The steaks and top notch, and all of the prepared salads and sides are great. The green beans are so good, they taste homemade. The scalloped potatoes are INSANE. And to balance out the scalloped potatoes, they actually offer traditional chicken salad, chicken salad with grapes, and LOW FAT CHICKEN SALAD. I adore this stuff. I love good chicken salad, but with all that mayo, it's usually a complete calorie bomb. The low fat chicken salad at Holzman's is so good, you will never miss the fat. You can get meat and sides to go, or you can get fresh made deli sandwiches, everything is so fresh. One thing to note, most of the guys are nonsense (coming across as gruff), if you've never been before it can be a bit off-putting. They're actually all really nice, but they're trying to move lots of people through there each day, and so they just want your order and to get you out of the store! read more

So, my quest for locating a close by quality butcher ended up here! After reading some reviews about Holzmann's I decided to give them a try. Today, I was out looking for a high quality prime rib roast for me and my wife to enjoy. First thing I noticed about this place, was the smell of something delicious that met me as soon as I stepped inside! Heading up to the meat counter, I spoke with Roger. He gave me a small tutorial on how to choose the quality of the beef I was looking for. I settled on the prime cut of rib roast. What I liked is that Roger took the time to speak to me and was very helpful not only in picking out my cut, but also on preparing and cooking it as well. After I got home, I followed his instructions, and WOW! What an outstanding piece of meat! We thoroughly enjoyed our special meal! I will certainly be returning to Holzmanns! One of the things that convinced me to go here is the amount of 5 star reviews they have, except for the one hate filled person that gave it 1 star! read more

Holzman Meats - My Rib Roast, fresh from Holzman Meats, getting it ready to cook! - Meat Shops Near Me - Cincinnati, Ohio

Absolute favorite deli/butcher in Cincinnati. The staff works like a well oiled machine and it's busy and friendly at the same time. WONDERFUL people own, run and work here. Couldn't ask for a better place run by more high quality people. I'm there ALL THE TIME! read more

My family loves this butcher! A vegan needs to steer clear of this place, because it's too damn good (no offense to vegans, just a compliment to the shop). We always get our filets here, and they beat Kroger steak by a million. The people are nice, and the food is more than satisfactory. Ron Swanson from "Parks and Recreation" would applaud this establishment. The only reason why I give it a 4/5 stars is because the smell of the place isn't the best, but, a shop full of raw meat will most likely do that. But I wanted to keep the review real for you homies out there that have too keen of a sense of smell. read more

LOVE HOLZMAN! Their meat is terrific. People are great. It's a wonderful local business. Try it out!!

Absolutely delicious! Have thoroughly enjoyed everything that I've tried. Salads are all great, pre-made food is perfect for those lazy dinner nights. The Ruben sandwich is spot on. I currently go here at least a couple times a week and like to try at least one new thing each time. Staff is very friendly and service is always super quick. Btw I read another review saying that this place is racist however I am also Asian and have never been treated with anything but friendly demeanor and smiles. I definitely recommend Holzman meats read more

I've been a regular for just about a year now, purchasing only from their meat counter. I concur with the other reviews about the friendly service and love love love that I recently purchased fabulous ribs and the gentleman offered me an aluminum pan and lid to bake them in! I always purchase two of the marinated flank steaks, these are great for the grill and always so flavorful and tender! I've ordered filets and other steaks and they are always fantastic! read more

Every review I write involves bacon and well this one isn't any different. The chicken salad BLT will change your life, I promise. Be sure to sign up for their rewards program too where you earn free chips, drinks and even sandwiches! read more

The best pickles I've ever had in my life! I would go here at lunch just to order a pickle!

Our family loves Holzman's and every time I take one of their dishes to an event my co-workers and friends ask where it came from! Fab Mac and cheeses and scalloped potatoes. The Greek pasta salad is my go to item for picnics. The chicken salad is delish. Their meats are high quality - steaks cannot be matched. Nice selection of fish too. read more

This deli/butcher shop is the crème de la crème of deli's. I work right down the road, and my co-worker and I come here for lunch weekly, if not more. It is a local, family-owned business (spanning several generations) and you feel it. All the employees are friendly and attentive, and the owner (Ron) is AWESOME. They will make you just about anything you want, and they go above and beyond with service. Their meats are of superb quality, and all the homemade (daily) sides and specials are delicious. They do catering (which I've used) and can handle all kinds of requests. Come here for lunch or place an order for your next party - you likely will not be disappointed. read more

I ordered a fruit, cheese and sandwich tray from Holzman's for a small wedding reception. All trays were outstanding. The fruit tray had a huge variety and had a luscious dip with it. The cheese tray had a great assortment and, for the sandwiches, we went with their great chicken salad and ham. They were worth it. If you are looking for good tasting, reasonably priced party trays, Holzman's is your place to shop. read more

First time in after hearing great things about this place on FB. The meats are quality. In fact the rib eye steaks we purchased were among the best I've ever cooked. I have no doubt all their meats are of the same high quality. As would be expected, with quality comes cost. You get what you pay for here and let's just say you shouldn't expect supermarket prices. Now for the not so good... I docked a star for AWFUL customer service. The older gentleman behind the counter really shouldn't be helping customers. Reminded me a little of the soup nazi episode of Seinfeld. Know what you want, speak loudly, and get the hell out. If it wasn't for the quality of the meat, I'd have knocked a couple more stars off this review. You've been warned. read more

My relative and i stopped at the deli after a football game because she kept raving about the smoked salmon and the chicken salad. I'm thinking to myself could it really be this good. I walk in and they had the smoked salmon as a sample and it was excellent..... I walked over to the deli area were she ordered the chicken salad. She asked the guy could I try some before I bought he said sure . When I took the first bite I almost danced in the of the store the chicken salad is sooooo good I had to buy a pound. It is the best I've had and love it and will keep coming back.!!! read more

not only am i a former employee ( many years ago). but i often wish i still lived in cincinnati just to find the quality of family business and quality that the holzmans offer. I hope all whom have the chance will take the opportunity to indulge in one of the remaining homestays and tastes of better days long gone that can be found in the personal touch that holzman meats shop offers!! j read more

Great deli, the Cuban was amazing and she took care of us minutes before close. Stop by for sure if you're in the area

I always have Holzmans cater my family events because the food is outstanding. We usually order the BBQ for our events and everyone RAVES about it. I also get all of our steaks and chicken there because it's so amazingly fresh and tasty. Their staff is wonderful and friendly and I love everything about their business! read more

You just don't find many places like this any more. Just a nice little deli with great sandwiches. I would recommend going there for lunch (haven't been there to buy deli meat for the fridge, but it's the same thing for their sandwiches). read more

We have long since stopped buying any meats at the large local chain grocery. Because even their top of the line steaks were tasteless. Everything we have ever bought at Holzman's has had exceptional flavor: Steak, pork chops, chicken, even the ground beef is vastly superior to the chain store's selection. Maybe the price is a tad higher but that is a trifle compared to having an exceptional dinner versus a bland meal. read more

Great quality meats and very friendly and helpful staff. I buy my holiday turkeys there and they are de-lish! I order my fresh turkey over the phone, and then the day before Thanksgiving or Christmas I pick it up...they have a truck outside and someone to hand out the turkeys, which are in neat boxes and are usually all trussed up and ready to go. Sooo convenient! For nights when you don't know what to make for dinner, they have lots of "prepared" meats (like stuffed pork chops, breaded chicken) ready to pop in the oven for dinner. Highly recommend checking this place out! Only drawback is that they're not open late. read more

Consistently exceptional meats. And a real wide range of types exceptional cuts. A great place to grab a quick lunch also. The people who work here are exceptional! This is my go to place when I can't afford to have a mistake. They also will get you a fresh like a lamb bone in if you need it. But you have to order ahead of time. read more

I have NEVER had a bad meal here. The portions are huge, the rueben is amazing, the staff is terribly friendly and helpful, and the prices are surprisingly low. HIGHLY recommend this place! read more

Best quality meats in town, friendly service is an understatement & I've never been let down when ordering a side to go or sandwich for lunch. Nothing comparable in the area!! read more

Holzman's Meats is the best shop around! I have frequented the store for 35 years! Have never been disappointed with the meat or other products. The staff is friendly and courteous. Ron Holzman, who took over the store from his Father, Irv, had personally delivered catering orders to my offices! Don't pass up the local gem! read more
