We have been traveling north to Lexington, Ohio from Columbus to this local butcher for about a year. Its free standing white buidling set up on a sloped parking lot. Super cute, clean, has a nice case that offers a large variety of cuts. We like that the meat is locally sourced. We like how friendly the staff is. Usually the meat we get is excellent. However, the last trip wasn't perfect. we came up on June 2nd, purchased two large racks of beef ribs, 9 pounds of pork butt, 6 bacon burgers. and some beyond spicy jerky. Total cost 191.14. Kind of felt that was a bit high tbo but this was my husbands order so i just stood there observing. Now I expect some fat on ribs. When the man that handled our order he said "i took off some (meat) off the top before you came. Here they are". I thought.. "thats weird. Why would u trim off meat." But again said nothing. We will get to that in a bit.... We get home. Cooked the six bacon burgers which were crazy good. They grind bacon into the beef and form a patty for you. They were very nice. Would drive up get again. My son next cracks open the jerky. Spicy is an understatement. Its super duper crazy spicy. Now, I like spicy, so does half my family. Fair warning this may of been the spiciest Ive ever had. It was right at the edge of ohhhh this might be too spicy, but didn't quite cross that line. Make sure you like spicy. It was good. I think they make it themselves. Thats a plus in our eyes. But half the family wouldn't eat it -it was that spicy. Lol. (Whimps) The next night we have our BBQ. The pork was good. Nice marbling. Smoked up nicely but for this cut alone it wasn't really worth the miles and time up there as the price of it was a bit high. Now to the ribs.... This was the item that we were driving an hour to get. All the rest were add ons. These were to be the main feature of our BBQ. Total disappointment. Not sure what was trimmed off before we got there, but it must of been most of the meat... As what we went home with was almost mostly fat and bone The ribs also were what cost the most and wow... I am shocked that they sold us those and even more shocked my husband (who is a great BBQ guy) weirdly accepted them. My point with this review is, as a customer--check your slabs of ribs. If they are fatty... and your gut say too fatty-- speak up! as this shop usually sends you home with perfect meat. Im sure there are more in the back and if Im sure they are great at suggesting a plan B. This time they missed the mark with us, but again, I have faith that if we ever go back it should be a better experience, as the other two experiences were amazing. I want to emphasize-- This isnt a place that should be skipped cuz of the rib issue. There is always a line in the shop.its a good place. However, I would recommend as a customer--check the cuts that are presented without worrying about offending the clerk if you feel the meat needs to be swapped out - if you feel its fatty or not a great cut for price, advocate for your own purchase. I feel the rib disappointment was as much our fault for not advocating as theirs for presenting that flawed slab. Sometimes you just make a mistake. We both did that day. I know we will be back for the burgers. Those were crazy good. I dont even like hamburger and I really liked the flavor of them. read more

My family came for the holidays and my bro-in-law decided to make a gigantor prime rib last minute. Mary Anne's was so helpful and hit us the best cut of meat! Thanks for the help! read more

Well stocked and and friendly service, great small town meat market,love their ribs and steaks

They own their own beef they raise it, and they package it. All for us. Great food family owned and operated. Nest local meat shop

Carnivore heaven. I grew up in Lexington, and have low expectations of local dining options. People living here adore the Olive Garden and pretty much anything that is labeled "Amish" and served in massive quantities at a buffet. This place is a category-breaker. Mary Anne's would be a fine butcher in Chicago, and probably give Paulina Meat Market a run for their money--at least as far as their beef and pork cuts. We picked up pork chops for the day-after-Thanksgiving dinner, and some bacon for breakfast the day after that. The chops were fresh, tender and juicy. The bacon is smokey, thick and almost too delicious for humble eggs. Acc. to my family, the meat is all locally raised. I wish we brought a cooler, because the steaks (at least an inch thick) and roasts were gorgeous, and the price was quite competitive compared to the big city. The store also has condiments and dessert-type goodies, most of them made in the area. The home-made "moon pies" looked positively sinful. I may come back and defile myself with one of those and a Pepsi from the vintage pop machine located next to the store. Good thing the Presbyterian church is just a half-block away. read more

Mary Ann's was great place for meats cut to order. She also sold Weidles recipe for Hungarian garlic sausage. Stopped by today the market is boarded up. read more

I had a really good experience here. Meat was fabulous, fresh, tender excellent marble and pork chops were out of this world. Mary Ann is a great lady and does a nice job. How dare I mention but have to be honest, I thought the prices were significantly higher than grocery and that is the only reason we do not go back weekly. This will be a special occasion treat. With that said, if you value good quality meet and your budget allows, you can't go wrong here! read more

You'd be a complete idiot not to get your meat from Mary Ann. She runs a great shop, has excellent beef, etc all of which she is involved in from end to end. She will consult with you on how she raises her beef. I also hear she is quite the musician. All in all you feel like you are in doc Hollywood when you visit this little shop. At one point I tried some local shrimp.... Yuck... But it's ohio what was I thinking. She does not have 100 percent non gmo grass fed beef but she tries and avoids a lot of other really bad stuff in her process.... She should consider grass fed though .... People Will pay more for quality in Lexington. read more

Made my first shopping trip to Mary Anne's last week and am going back today. I bought a gorgeous boneless ribeye and broiled it that evening. I haven't had a steak that good in 40 years. Also purchased loin pork chops, chicken, hamburger, and some frozen pork/ham load. All were excellent. read more

This meat market is absolutely fantastic! Mary Anne's is a family owned business that is passionate about providing top quality meats. I've been in numerous meat markets and this one is spotless. When you go up to the counter, there is a good chance you'll be waited on by the Mary Anne, the owner. My wife, who is very health conscious, discovered this place a while ago and now this is only local place we go for our meats. Prices are a bit higher but the quality is more than worth the price. read more
