My friends and I got the nachos to split. We added the brisket and guacamole as well. It was ok. Obv a tooooonnn of green onions (see pic). The brisket was kind of sweet, which was disappointing. They place has an interesting bar feel. The menu is somewhat limited and obv very meat focused. It didn't wow me. I don't know if I will go back. I would probably try other restaurants around before I go back there. read more

Jackson's Meat & Deli - Brisket nachos. - Meat Shops Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

This is a review for the restaurant inside the butcher. We stopped in for dinner a few days ago and both opted for handhelds. I got their pork belly sandwich and a Caesar salad on the side while my boyfriend got the beef brisket sandwich with fries on the side. The service and our waitress was great. We opted to sit by the door which did make our dining experience a little cold (our own fault). The beef brisket sandwich had great flavour as it was smothered barbeque sauce. The meat fell apart easily with every single bite. Would totally recommend this sandwich if you are heading there and I realized someone else's comment felt that the burger bun was soggy but we didn't find this to be the case. The pork belly sandwich was stacked high, hot and filling. The bun was perfectly toasted and yet soft. My only slight issue was that the meat wasn't very flavorful, especially compared to my boyfriends beef brisket sandwich which packed a punch of flavor. Their side Caesar salad was great and we also really enjoyed their fries which taste like Costco fries. Beer is a little on the pricey side but it seems they have a Happy Hour so maybe a good time to check out this place then and get some deals! read more

This is my first time having dinner at this place and was not disappointed. The food in this deli is super yummy! The appetizer sausages were big and had a bit of spice to it. The beet and bocconcini salad was amazing (one of the best I've had). The cuban sandwich was flavourful and it was quite a big portion. Definitely will come back to this place ! read more

It's good. Nothing extraordinary. Walked in on a weekday in the early afternoon and it was really busy in here. Seated in the back corner, service was friendly and efficient. I had the burger, which was good, but not really memorable. I am not sure I would go out my way to eat here again, but on am afternoon that Im in the area and not feling like trying somewhere else I would not be offended if someone suggested we go here. Loads of options for the picky eaters. Deli is in the back. read more

Excellent products. A+! Chris is so good at what he does. Very polite and respectful. Thanks

Omg, the burger was amazing, and the best fries in Kitts. Looking for comfort food bbq style, this is the place.

It is actually called "Jackson's Resto Butcher". Great friendly atmosphere, staff are wonderful, food is good, honest prices. Had a very positive experience on our latest visit. A very special mention for the 2 young ladies serving us.... well done. Efficient, friendly and discreet. read more

Last few times I have dined here the service has been marginal at best. Appetizers come at the same time as mains, can't get a glass of wine, and takes forever to catch a server's eye despite the place being half full. You get the sense they would rather talk amongst themselves than look after paying customers. I like the atmosphere and the food but they are let down by indifferent/poorly trained staff. read more

If only you could see my excitement when I walked through the new double doors of Jackson's this morning. Eyes open, big grin, a rumble in my tummy just from looking at selection. This is a fully stocked meat shop, even bigger than Market Meats and is now home to: a deli, frozen food section, refrigerated dairy, eggs, sauces, soups, pantry fixings, and of course glorious, glorious meats! Organics included! Compared to the Jackson's on Granville that closed down a year ago (I think), this is the epitome of gourmet. My choice for today: stuffed pork tenderloin (cranberries, brie and stuffing); but it was a hard choice between that and the stuffed turkey thigh that I was eying. I can't dock them a star for this - but I will say they need to get into their customer service groove. I asked how I should cook the tenderloin I was eying - one clerk explained what to do (which was awesome) but then he just walked away. I waited, a little confused, for him to return, but he didn't. I caught the attention of another who helped me...but used his bare hand and then proceeded to ring in my order, handle cash etc. Since I'll be baking this glorious meal tonight, I'm not worried about germs, but if I was ordering up a sandwich to go - it would be a whole other story. Catch me there, likely every weekend, buying something meaty for a Sunday dinner! read more

They have Pop Shoppe pop. That was the second thing I saw after seeing the Yelp sticker in the front. So in we went. On our shopping spree we found lots of goodies from the frozen pies to the amazing cuts of fresh meat for the BBQ. We loved the selection at the back with all the variations of salt that was available. read more

Surprised I haven't written, it's been awhile since Ive been there, til today and glad I did. Was going to Maria's, but Jackson's had the bbq grill out, with a sampling table of some goodies, their lamb sausage. Not just yummy, lots of flavour and asked where it was from, he replied it's all made in-house so that's very good news. Like this deli even more so, as it's got a great selection of dips, boxed pasta, and best of all, great service--usually 2-3 helpers behind the counter. Also picked up a baby-size rack of baby back ribs with their own house-sauce for $10, well worth the time savings ;) And needless to say, also deleesh too. accept debit/credit. Metered parking all around. read more

Jackson's Meat & Deli - Meat Shops Near Me - Vancouver, British Columbia

Agh!!!!! So not only do I love to eat, but I also love to cook... and I LOVE THIS PLACE!!!!!!!!!!!!! The quality of meats here is great. I come here for the turkey, and their turkey gravy is the best in the city. I also highly recommend their savory stuffing for an effortless delicious side to go with your bird. I will not cook a bird on Thanksgiving or Holidays unless its from here! You can also get half turkeys here if you are cooking for 2-5 people. They also have a location at Granville Island. read more

I went today for the first time to sample their menu. Large orders which include great fries. My smoked brisket sandwich was disappointing. Served on a soft bun it was a mush of sauced brisket covered with cole slaw. Not very good at all. read more

As I wandered through the Meat section in Costco this evening in search of a proper cut, I overheard one of the butchers talking about their Pork coming from Colorado. It was at this moment that I snapped out of my trance and thought "What the fuck am I doing in Costco buying meat?" I am going to Jackson's first thing tomorrow to buy a free range non-medicated bird instead. As the Newest Oldest Butcher Shop in town, they put most places to shame. Especially MM a few blocks away. No up-selling here, if anything, they'll throw in a hunk of fat or mushroom bits to ensure your roast and gravy turn out perfectly. Oh, and they have gift certificates too. Hint hint... read more

Cool shop. I wish they had moose meat though. But I got some kangaroo and camel meat!!!

Although Jackson's meat is on the same zip code as Market's Meat (one of my favorites), their prices are pleasantly much more recession friendly. They have a good selection of quality cuts and although I have only tasted one of them, I am a pretty happy customer (so are my dogs, who love their bones). Will update after I tasted more of their delicious, pocket friendly cuts. But so far, better than expected. read more

beet salad was lovely. the cuban sandwich was horrible. apple pie was nice but a bit too sweet even in the absence of the ice cream.

Was on the hunt for venison shoulder for a tasty German 6 course meal I am preparing for my girlfriends. I actually walked by Jackson's by fluke and decided to check it out as I'd never been - I know sad considering I claim to be a foodie. Service was excellent - and really apart from my shoulder they must have had another six different types of venison. All frozen though, so that is something to consider. We exchanged some suggestions around tenderizing the venison and cooking times. Also chatted about where to get some other interesting meats. I felt more like I am at a food mingler than at a butcher. Great! Def. a place I would come back to and check out some of their other meat selections. Can't wait to get cooking....will check back in and let you know how it all went. read more

HOLY EFF. that's how i feel about this unbelievable butcher. i was bubbling with excitement as soon as i found out this place was opening in my neighborhood. i've always been disappointed by market meats and loved jackson's at their old location. this place is SO great. their knowledge of all things carnivorous is unmatched, and their staff are super friendly and wonderful. i love making beef jerky and they are very accommodating taking a cheap cut of outside round and slicing it to the perfect jerky size for me at no extra cost. their prices are more than reasonable. all of their chicken, pork and beef is on par with what you'd pay at a big grocery store and the quality is so so so much better. just because the place looks fancy doesn't mean the prices are sky-high. i really can't say enough good things about jackson's. it is the best butcher in town, bar none. i am so lucky to live a block away. read more

I LOVE Jackson's! Their customer service is always great and I love their chicken. I've been there about 4 times and chicken is the only thing I have tried so far because my freezer is already stocked with other meats - I do plan to go back once my freezer starts to empty a bit. Their chicken is the cheapest I have been able to find, so I'll definitely keep shopping there. I never buy any chicken that doesn't pass the organic, non-medicated, free range, grain fed test. Everywhere else I have seen anything close to their quality, the prices have been quite a bit higher, including across the street at Capers/Whole Foods. read more

Much more than your your standard meat store.... Seafood, cheese, veg, eggs deli meats, a few isles of condiments and of course a primo meat selection and a large organic choice as well..... I ordered a 22lb organic turkey that was locally grown and OMG did that please my huge crowd of friends. The staff are super friendly, and I never get up-sold here like I do from the guy down the street... Jackson Meats has only been open a few months but its my favorite butcher when I jump off the vegetarian wagon.... read more

Really friendly place. I've enjoyed everything I've purchased from here as everything seems to be quality driven. Tried the turkey pepperoni today. Pretty good but I hope it's lower in fat than the regular as it wasn't as good as regular pepperoni. :) I enjoyed the sample outside, too, until I discovered it was lamb. I can only eat lamb at Vij's for some reason. I deduct one star only for the price. I still prefer the ambiance and prices of Big Lou's, but Jackson's was convenient for me today. So if you live close by and you want a special treat, try Jackson's. read more

Love it. Went here to pick up some duck breast and few steaks for the weekend. The shop is huge and not only do they carry meat, but there's also a good selection of cheeses, sauces, spices and others. They carry standard fare such as beef, chicken and pork, but there are also sausages, duck, boar, moose, etc. If you can hunt it, slice it and cook it, it's at Jackson's. Their staff is also super knowledgeable and incredibly helpful. The first day we went in we encountered Jackson, who sang the praises of the wild boar bacon (I didn't enjoy it, but my boyfriend did), and he even introduced us to his extremely adorable baby. Small touches like this really makes Jackson's feel like a neighbourhood butcher. The price is very reasonable. We compared it to the price of the butcher's at Safeway on Vine, and there really wasn't much of a difference. I found the NY strip we bought at Jackson's to be superior to the one we'd bought at Safeway a week prior. They have a wonderful staff, wonderful selection, and wonderful quality. Plus, it's a local shop owned by a local boy, and I always like to have the option of supporting a local business. read more

Probably the best meat shop in town. Very helpful staff who will bend over backwards to help you out. Upon seeing that they had no ground veal, the butcher quickly offered to grind some up and within 3 minutes I had my fresh product (tasted great, btw) and was on my way. Their rib eye melts in your mouth and they have a great selection of made-on-premises sausage, including a British Banger that will certainly be on my plate soon enough. Oh, and the pancetta is awesome. Couldn't recommend it more. read more

Yes. Thanks to my boyfriend for introducing this place to me, I feel like I am a totally new person when it comes to meat. I feel like a meat connoisseur. Meat Selection: This place has a ROCKIN selection. Every type of meat that you could want is here. Take this from a fellow Yelper to a fellow Yelper.... I honestly am able to taste the difference from Free Range, Organic Meat compared to things that you buy that you are already frozen at the grocery store. Jackson's meat is SO YUMMY! (No pun intended.) My favourite section is their chicken breast section. They literally have like 15 different pre-marinaded flavours for you to choose from. Their selection changes quite frequently, so you'll be bound to found something you will love! Customer Service: Yes. So good. They are all so knowledgeable and friendly. You won't be let down! read more

Jackson's have a great selection of meats and knowledgeable staff. I ordered a local free range organic turkey for Christmas and collected it on 23rd December. On preparing the bird I noticed the packed on date as 2010 Dec 07, meaning the Turkey had been previously frozen. I don't understand why you would order a frozen Turkey, the whole point about ordering before hand is to secure something fresh, not something that keeps for months. At $85 for a 17lb turkey and having ordered two weeks in advance I would have expected to have been told the bird was frozen. As you'd expect when cooked it was tough and not anything I had hoped for. Its the first and last time I have cooked a frozen Turkey and when I go back to Jacksons I will ask them to inform their customers that theTurkeys they are ordering have been frozen. I am really disappointed and read the reviews here before deciding to purchase at Jackson's.I should have gone to Windsor Meats on Main St. One star for this poor service .. I'm sure the FRESH meat they serve is great. read more

I'm beginning to notice a trend... Butchers are freaking HOT! MMMmm. I don't know if it actually has anything to do with the way they look, or how friendly they are... Something about a man, or woman, who can literally handle their meat is just so sexy. Alright, enough about that... On to the review!!! This is likely the hippest meat shop I've ever been in... Newly renovated I guess, as I was informed it is one of the oldest, family run meat shops in the city. They have a larger than usual selection of accompaniments, but not so much that it distracts from the meats. I grabbed a deli treat to satiate the carnivorous beast that tries to convince me to spend a weeks wages on various cuts of prime beef every time I enter a butcher shop... It was a sandwich- pear, prosciutto, and brie - if I remember correctly. Delicious, but not enough to stop me from spending too much on steaks from their "private reserve". Even though it's in a nice neighborhood, the prices seemed significantly lower that what I normally pay in West Van. That's a plus! Yet another shop with a great selection of "exotic" meats, although mostly frozen... I can't wait to try them all. read more

If you love to bbq, this is the place for you. Looking for some great home made style sausages? Try their in house sausages, tons of different flavours and great portion size! If you're looking for something a bit different and new they have a great selection of game meats you can grill up like venison burgers or whole rabbit! The quality is in the taste and everything I've gotten here has been amazing. They recently added a dairy section and its great that I can grab an organic milk while I'm shopping there and some slices for those camel burgers i'm going to be frying up this weekend! read more

What other meat market has chandeliers? Since moving to Vancouver, I've become a meat snob. Never again will I buy meat from a chain grocery. Sure, you pay a bit more for Jacksons, but you're also getting more. Freshness, cleanliness, tastiness, more selection and a peace of mind. To me, having my meat in that brown paper as opposed to sitting in styrofoam and plastic for who knows how long just feels healthier. This hadn't been an option for us before moving to Vancouver and I think it's something that should be embraced and appreciated by Vancouverites. I'm blown away by the selection of meats at Jackson's from rabbit to lamb. Although I've had to wait in line several times, I've never experienced bad customer service. I've always been treated in a friendly manner. We really can tell a difference in the taste of the meat. Our friends from North Carolina say they're coming to visit again just as long as we fix burgers for them. They couldn't get over how awesome the meat tasted. I grew up on a beef farm and as a child, I ate very fresh meat. This is the closest I've come to finding something comparable. read more

Offers excellent prime ribs and actually not expensive. Extremely polite and helpful. Always a first destination for great cook-in. read more

Best butcher i have found since moving to vancouver. I'm Irish and they stock a few irish and english products which are all great quality. The staff are so friendly personable. I love that Chris put up a picture of his new baby with a headline saying - 6th generation of jacksons! It's so nice that the biz is truly their life, and they share and celebrate personal details like that. Since i have been going there, they always welcome me and enjoy talking about any meat cooking advice or experiences. Staff are so knowledgeable, they give you printed instructions for roasting your meat at thanksgiving & xmas, and if you're having trouble picking meat they will give you ideas on how to cook it to help you out, and will really encourage you to try something new. I have gone so far as to ring them when preparing meat at home with questions on what to do - and received noting but enthusiastic advice on the other end of the phone, and next visit a quiz on how it worked out. There meat is always good quality, and prices are reasonable. Definitely worth a visit for your next meat shopping :) read more

Delicious sandwiches. Friendly service, great selection of meats. Not many seats, if you want to lunch with a friend. More of a quick working hours lunchtime. Only a short bar table with four stools. read more

This deli on that stretch of 4th avenue makes me wish I lived in Kits, where I could sport lulu's and a yoga mat while grabbing my grain-fed beef and hand cut meats at Jackson's Deli. This place seems to have anything that you're looking for when it comes to meat, and then some! They have a pretty expansive frozen section, including pot pies and individually flash frozen meats, particularly the more exotic stuff. They've got sausages and deli meats for days, and nice selection of beef and pork cuts. I came in looking for pork butt and was able to quickly find it, and have them cut me the exact amount I was looking for. The sausages that they make in house caught my eye and I grabbed some of them to keep on hand for next time. If I lived closer, this would be the only place I buy meats. Lucky folks out in Kits! read more

After escaping from Granville Island, I wanted a snack... lo and behold the deli I always want to go to is open! We chose the grilled club sandwich. For some odd reason, I thought they would make it right there rather than reaching into the glass case for it. We wander the racks looking at things to buy while waiting for the sandwich. Their prices are considerably higher than my favourite deli... We grabbed some drinks and took our sandwich and sat in the courtyard outside of Whole Foods... sshhhh.. don't tell... the sandwich was thin... it was okay. I think the meat (not sure if it was chicken or turkey) was processed. The bacon was okay, not crispy at all. The amount of mayo and tomato was nice... Umm, I don't like grilled lettuce. Any lettuce that was hanging off the sides was now wilted and not a good texture. Meh. Next time, I think I will stick to raw meat... do they have beef shanks? I tried looking, but I might have missed them. read more

Been going to the old Jackson's on Granville St and this location for years... Disappointed that they closed down...However, very excited about this new "old" Jackson ! Very tastefully designed... but how was the meat ?! Damn good ! The steaks have been consistently good... and the sausages !? The bangers were famous and haven't changed at all ! Even has the old Finocchio.... But I miss the old Boudin Blanc... and the rice- filled sausage of old... Has all sorts of carnivore's delight such as pork pies.... yummmmm What's new is the sandwich stand - Highly recommend the steak sandwich... so yummy w sweet onion and that special sauce.... This is a real butcher shop run by real butchers.... welcome back Jackson's ! read more

It's a wonderful butcher, with the best meat in the city--and it has been since I was a child. I just wish they'd answer their phones! When you call, you get a recording to leave a message and they'll call back -- and then you hear their mailbox is full! Given I have to drive across the city to buy from them and want to make sure they have what I want before I leave, this kind of customer service makes me crazy. C'mon Jacksons, you can do better! read more

Heard so many good things from my neighbors. Living on South Granville its a short 5-10 minute drive. Located on 4th Ave., parking when they open at 10am, is abundant. The girls on shift were courteous, helpful and swift. Bought some Montreal smoked brisket and a standing rib roast with bone. Both were excellent! Will be trying their sandwiches cause they all look so yummy. Upscale service with decent pricing. Definitely a "meat stop shop" for my household from now on. BTW, my dog is pretty happy with the large smoked beef bones they have available. read more
