It has been a year since starting to go here. A friend of mine wanted to know if halal vs…read morenon-halal meats tasted different. So being the non-Muslem, I decided to help him decide. It is located in an old strip mall behind another building. This lead to no front door parking. So I found a spot and walked over. It is a small store with groceries to the right and a meat/butcher counter to the left. The store only had a couple of customers in it at that time. I strolled around the limited groceries and they had the basics. Then I wandered back toward the meat counter. Dividing the two sections I found precut meats. This is when I decided to do my test on chicken breasts. Couldn't find the full breasts so I went with smaller cut pieces. Just an FYI, you can request any cuts of meats at the counter. But I didn't want to wait so I grabbed and headed to pay and go. The results, BTW, halal meat was more tender and tasted the same and prices the same

I came here alone, but you would never know it by the way I was treated…read more From the moment I sat down, it felt less like dining out and more like being welcomed home. The staff was incredibly attentive, warm, and genuine--like I had been away and just returned. The broccolini was incredible--perfectly cooked and full of flavor. The steak was absolutely scrumptious, cooked just right and rich in all the best ways. And the potatoes... I truly couldn't have done them better myself. Crispy, golden, and I'm convinced they were cooked in beef tallow--they were that good. This wasn't just a meal. It was an experience.

I had been meaning to try this new butcher shop since it opened but only finally made my way over…read morethere to buy steaks for my Valentine's Day dinner. OMG, let me just say they turned out insanely delicious. I always buy my beef, chicken, pork, etc., at HEB and I usually get the "Prime 1" category of steaks and burgers. I always thought my steaks and burgers were good but now that I have had real, fresh cut butcher shop steaks I will never go back to grocery store meat again. The difference in quality was very apparent. The steaks I chose were thick filet mignons (tenderloin), about 2 inches thick. Every bite was perfect, not a single bit of fat, chewiness or toughness. It was of the same quality you'd get at a fine dining steakhouse downtown. I also bought a pound of ground beef, a pack of wagyu hot dogs and some beef jerky but have not tried them yet. They had some gigantic cooked meatballs on display that I have my eye on for another night. The various types of marinated chicken breasts looked really good too. In addition to the meats they have a wall of interesting dry goods like sauces, chips, etc., and a cold section of prepared side dishes as well. Pricewise, if you usually buy the HEB basic beef and chicken like their Hill Country Fare line or the tubes of ground beef, then the meat at the butcher shop will be significantly more expensive. On the other hand, if you usually buy the more pricey Prime 1 or Organic Grass Fed lines of beef and the Mary's Free Range Heirloom chicken or Central Market Organic Air-Chilled Chicken, then the prices here are quite comparable, in some cases even less. They run complete meal specials and deals on their website and they offer a loyalty card program you can join for free to get more discounts. Lakeway and Bee Cave people, please give this place a try! They need our support.

Longhorn meat market has the best service, the guys there are always suggesting how to cook meals…read moreand offer great pricing for quality beef, chicken, and pork, and even eggs. I always prefer to keep my money local and I think the shop is doing a great job so I'm happy every time I shop here... And my whole family is happy because the quality of meat is significantly better than the local grocery store. Try it out next time you have steak or fajitas you will not be disappointed. ( ps. If you have shopped here in the past and we're not impressed you should give it another try because I came here years ago and did not have the best experience. I assume it's under new management because it's significantly better, and consistently great all around- food quality, and service. I recommend it to everybody)

The order was ready in about 10 days and the processing bill was reasonable. The vacuum sealed packaging is high-quality - so I won't lose any of it to freezer burn. The portion sizes were perfect and the taste of the buck sticks are fantastic. Highly recommended if you are in West or SW Austin!

I'm glad Mr. Hudson opened up another shop just south of Oak Hill. Quickest turnaround on a deer…read moreI've had. 8 days. I ordered bacon wrapped chop steaks, buck sticks (which my kids love) jerky, jalapeño & cheese summer sausage, regular and jalapeño cheese smoked sausage. I've been taking my deer to him for over 20 years (starting at his S. Congress location) and have now followed him to this location. Super pleased with my return on meat, packaging, presentation and flavor. If you're looking for quality, you're gonna have to pay for it. If you're looking for a cheap product that's mass produced, this ain't the place for you.

I even grabbed a few pieces of their sweet bread to serve with strawberries and whipped cream. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and generous. The carnitas were tender and perfectly seasoned, the fajitas were juicy, and the menudo was exactly what you want, rich, comforting, and authentic. The guacamole and salsa are freshly made. Best part? All of that was under $50. The staff is always friendly and they recognize their regulars, which makes it feel like a true neighborhood spot. If you're looking for quality Mexican food without restaurant prices, this is your go to spot. Austin Yelp elite approved!

Marble Falls Location: We have brought in two hogs for…read moreprocessing so far. One was my father-in-law's and they did an awesome job, the sausage tasted great! The other was a hog my younger sister shot. We got a call from them saying there was an issue with the hog- I was bummed but curious since I didn't remember seeing anything really wrong when I skinned and quartered it. They explained how the backstraps were 1/4th the size they should have been and other large muscles had clearly atrophied- there were also some small odd growths in the body cavity. Two things here: 1. They could have easily just shrugged it off and processed it since we were getting mostly sausage but instead they called and explained everything. The guy on the phone said he had actually looked up what could have caused this. I was really impressed because it shows a level of professionalism that is hard to come by these days. 2. It also tells me that they are clearly knowledgeable about the anatomy and what they are doing because I missed it. Thinking back I remember there was a strange tumor like growth on it's underside but since it's a wild hog I didn't think to much about it and just kept cutting away. I didn't pay attention to the inside cavity once I pulled out the guts either. I look back at one of the photos I took and think dang, yea there is almost no shoulder muscle but again I wasn't putting any of this together at the time. Thankfully they did notice these things and let us know that something was wrong. It's too bad we won't have this hog but I cant wait to bring them the next one because I know it will be in good hands! Thank you guys so much!

Absolutely abysmal experience…read more I purchased a whole pig to roast for a charity fundraiser. Called a month in advance to secure product. Checked in weekly on pick up date but especially pick up condition, (fully thawed). A few days before pick up i was informed they picked the pig up early and there was a risk of spoilage if it wasn't refrozen. Complete shock as we had spoken twice that very week and that was never mentioned. I said if they needed to freeze the pig in the meantime to ensure quality, fine but I still needed it thawed on pick up. Pick up= associate can't locate the animal, price was not what we agreed to, and they found it "in the very back corner of the freezer". Counter associate said "I just work here, they don't tell me anything" Needless to say, working with Hudson meat market was the biggest mistake. Even with over communication on my part, they just couldn't have cared less.

Although…read morethere was no Patrick Swayze lookalike to tell us to be nice, we managed to behave ourselves anyway. I went with the double pork chop, which looked the part, but unfortunately was overcooked and dry. The red beans and rice were a good choice for a side. Wifey took on the shrimp poorboy, and was pleased with her choice. The half order of onion rings was good enough to hold us off for the main course. The waitstaff was friendly and kept our drinks filled. There is an outdoor area with tables that was filled with the locals. Everyone was dressed very casual as I assume they just finished working a long week and were chilling for the rest of the day. Most probably did not mind driving up the unpaved road and parking in the raw parking lot. It was a bit dusty driving in with a clean truck, but once you commit thru the entrance, there is no avoiding it. But then again, paving would be like putting an elevator in an outhouse....It doesn't belong.
