Midwestern Meats - Owner and my boyfriend - Meat Shops Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

I had the chance to reach back in early childhood and experience today Goulach that my mom used to make for us kids! I told the waitress, "Are you sure my mom isn't back in the kitchen making this goulash? Outstanding! Every time I eat here, it brings back such fond memories of our wholesome Midwest family's meals! Thank you, Midwestern, for the memories! read more

Midwestern Meats - Meat Shops Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

This place is unique. It is a restaurant and a bakery and a butcher shop. Any of the services they offer are recommended.

Great, gracious help at the counter with me an ignorant customer. Wonderful jerky, amazing cuts of meat.

Best place for prime rib!! They are always busy around the holidays but you can pretty much walk in and pick out what you need and someone will place it in the line for check out. read more

Wonderful meat market! If you bought good quality meat this is place to go. People are very helpful, and the food is tremendous read more

I was second in line to check out, the cashier turned around and walked to the end of the kitchen. I said excuse me, he turned around and was such an asshole. Love the lefse and meat but the people here are so rude. Will not be back, bunch of ass hats with no desire to help anyone. read more

Save yourself some time and don't even go to this place. The product that they have is restaurant quality, which is the main source of revenue. read more

I was very surprised by the quality of the restaurant side of this business (that' not to say I have anything against the butcher shop or bakery side) and the quality of food they put out. Ordered the larger cut of prime rib and other than it was missing any type of discernable crust on the outer edges of the meat it was as good, if not better, piece of prime rib you can find. To be sure I've paid far more and have had far less quality elsewhere. The diner comes with salad, potato choice, veggie and for an extra 99 cents a piece of pie. With a soda that kicks the whole bill to a little over $20. Pretty sure you can't beat that anywhere on price and definitely not on quality. read more

I don't know why there is not a line out the door & traffic backed up on to Main St every morning! The donuts are in a word "fantastic". Once you try any of their donuts you will wonder how your life has been wasted up until then. There are so many chain donut shops & other shops that end up just being the same. At the MW bakery it is clear they order their supplies from the more expensive side of the catalog . Well done. For those of you more concerned with "ambiance" please visit any Starbucks you can find. If you want to visit a working bakery with talented caring personnel then look no further. In closing, this place should be so busy every day they are open. Mesa you have a treasure there, I hope you can appreciate their efforts . read more

We had lunch at the restaurant, food and service was great. We then went to the bakery and bought several tasty items. Lastly, we went to the meat market and bought several beef and pork items, which have all been great! We drive about 35 miles to get there and well worth the trip read more

Awesome place with a quality selection of meats. More expensive than other shops but the meat is great! Thank you guys!

My mother in law picked up prime rib for Christmas and it was delicious. The man who helped her (maybe the owner?) Was very helpful. We will be returning next year or maybe sooner! read more

Bought a few NY Strip steaks this afternoon and lightly rubbed them with Salt Lick garlic dry rub. Cooked them on the Pit Boss @500 for a few minutes each side (flame gate open). I have to say these may have been the best steaks I have ever tasted. They are incredible and I will be a regular customer from now on. Oh did I mention how great the people working there are? Super kind and attentive. Sorry no photos as the steak did not last that long :) read more

Best damn breaded tenderloins I have ever had. Great bakery and great meats. Quit reading this and just go there. I love this place.

My boyfriend brought me to this gem for lunch and I think I'll be back a lot. Very clean and basic restaurant with some good food and service. It's not over seasoned, salty or greasy. Just simple food. I had a cheeseburger and coleslaw and my boyfriend had the chicken sandwich with potatoes salad. The burger was juicy and so was the chicken in my boyfriend's sandwich. We stopped in the bakery and grabbed a chocolate cream pie and lemon poppyseed muffin bread that were both delicious. If you're a meat lover you need to stop by the butcher shop. read more

Never eaten in the restaurant and it seems to be surprisingly busy for the reviews. Although, the folks I tend to see in the restaurant likely don't use Yelp. On that note, I have dealt with the bakery staff and am pretty sure I know the bitter woman others have spoken of... she certainly does seem mad even when scooping ice cream. I love their $.50 ice cream, it makes me feel like a kid again and I love that they generally only have a few options to choose from. I have tried their bars and some are better than others and mostly all of them are better than I could bake myself. On to the meat market. Yes, I too have seen the corn fed beef sign. Yes, this has bothered me some as well since I am aware that cows really prefer to eat grass, just like chickens like to eat bugs and fruit and whatnot. However, I would not go as far to say that the meat here is comparable to choice/prime meat from Frys. Maybe as far as nutritional content (fat, blabla whatever), but flavor wise? I avoid getting meat from Frys these days, even the choice/prime stuff. With that said, I do feel that they have a decent selection of cuts to choose from and I do believe their prices are fair. Especially when I consider what I have spent buying meat other places. They do also offer packages which seem decent and remind me of a meat shoppe in south Scottsdale that I love and miss. I am to the point that I will stop in just for the hot pepperoni sticks. Man they're so good! They remind me of being a kid and walking up to the corner store. I know they don't make them there but nonetheless way better than a Jacklink or Slimjim. The staff in the meat market are always very courteous and attentive. I have gone in looking for a certain cut and they have always known what I was talking about and given me alternatives if I have asked. We went in pretty close to closing the other day and it was settling to know how well they clean their area. One gentleman had the slicer, table, whatever it's called, all broken down and was cleaning it well. See, it may be corn fed beef but to me, it has ruined the taste of beef from many other places for me. The twice baked Diablo potatoes are good, their frozen brisket burgers are good, I am not a huge fan if pork but the butterflied chops were good, dude loves the ham salad and chicken salad. The beans weren't up my alley, a little too sweet and the kabobs are a little sweet for my liking as well. We will keep coming here, who knows maybe one day they will offer grass fed beef and all of my wildest dreams will have come true. read more

Great place to get all your meats! Excellent butcher! The food was like a home cooked meal read more

This is for the restaurant not the store next to it. We have gone here a couple of times in the past, it's been quite a few years. It was excellent back then, good service, good food. We went yesterday, we wanted to take our visiting daughter to a nice place and we remembered how good it was before. The patty melts were awful. They were overcooked, dry, and literally had a FEW onion pieces on them. They have very little cheese on them, American no Swiss, and what little cheese they had was just melted into the bread. Seriously, they were like a very overdone piece of hamburger, with a few pieces of onion and a tiny bit of American cheese melted into the bread. They were absolutely horrible. The Reuben wasn't any better, very dry, not what you expect at all in a Reuben. It was just some overcooked meat on dry bread. I had an Italian sausage sandwich, the sausage was very dry and also way overcooked, it came on a broken bun, with a few pieces of bell pepper and a few pieces of onion on it. I could have done better at cheap dive some place. They had an empty ketchup bottle on our table. We asked for for two single bills and two of us one one bill. They screwed that up too, and brought a bill for 3 of us and one for one of us. They brought regular tea and we asked for raspberry tea. Even after that, we actually bought pie for dessert. They used to have a nice large piece of pie. These were tiny pieces, and they looked like they sat in the fridge for 3 days. They were not fresh. There was one waitress for the whole room for 20 minutes after we got there, then another one showed up. They were trying to wait 10 tables each, and our waitress actually had to stop and go man the cash register because they didn't have a cashier! This was at 12-1:00, lunch rush hour! They need to hire a new cook and fire the one they have. I don't know what changed since a few years ago, but it looks like EVERYTHING changed. I cannot recommend this place, and it blows my mind we had such a bad experience. I would have complained to the manager, but it looks like they didn't have one there at all, or THEY would have been running the register, not the waitress! read more

This place is amazing! The meat is farm fresh and the atmosphere is like a farm house kitchen. Service couldn't be friendlier and every visit is fantastic. I got the open face prime rib with gravy today. Very good choice if you are in the mood for beef. Connected to the restaurant is their bakery and meat shop. The meat shop is amazing. They have some of the best burgers around. You can get a brisket burger, burger mixed with ground bacon and that's just the beginning. They have quarter ham (unsliced), bacon, sausages and more. Last time I visited I bought a whole chicken. It was so much better than store bought! Lastly is their 2 for 1 dinners. See their website. I was told starting May 2nd it'll be available. Ham, prime rib, pork roasts and more have been past choices. read more

Midwestern Meats - Open face prime rib with gravy. Wow! - Meat Shops Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Looked nice and clean, good parking. We went on the butcher side to buy brisket. We looked and couldn't find it in their small meat case. We asked the young man behind the counter if they had any, and he said yes. We looked again. Didn't see any. Asked again he pointed and said it was there. Looked, still nothing. We went back and forth. Finally my friend asked him to show it to us. He came out, obviously annoyed and picked up a slab of meat, which did not say brisket, it said untrimmed prime. There was hardly anyone there and for him to act like we were pestering him was disappointing to say the least. When customers are who you are paid to help are treated this badly, it certainly doesn't make you feel like going back. If I could give 0 stars I would. We went on April 2 about 10:00 am. read more

The bacon was good but not memorable. The bakery items, napoleon and horn, were stale, extremely stale. Were it not for the long drive I would have asked for a refund. I also expected real whipped cream in these 2 items and was disappointed. Recommendation to bakery, throw out old pastries. Don't charge customers for them because you have lost me forever. read more

Just got back from eating lunch here with my dad... and I can safely say that I won't have to eat anything for the rest of the day...possibly the rest of the weekend. The Bacon Cheddar Stuffed Burger I got was HUGE. It came to the table buried in lettuce, onion and tomato (which I promptly removed) as well as pickles (which I left on). I ate almost the whole burger before being tempted by a piece of Banana Cream Pie (which was AMAZING). My only negative is I wasn't asked how I wanted my burger cooked... and I got it a little rarer than I usually like my beef. Thankfully, the melty, gooey cheese made me forget about the pinkness of the burger. All in all, I would recommend this place for you hungry carnivores out there. Come with an appetite. I guarantee you'll be stuffed by the time you leave. read more

See all

Ran by two amazing individuals. They will treat you right for sure and if they don't ask for Marcos and he will get things squared away.

Simple family food. We met great friends for lunch. They being familiar with the Mesa area suggested lunch at the butcher shop. Turns out the butcher shop is also a restaurant and bakery. Restaurant is clean, waiters friendly and food was ok. read more

Their meats are top notch, tender, flavorful and reasonable priced for the quality of meat that is above the rest. Employees are friendly and very helpful. Best butcher shop and meats in Arizona!!! read more

Pork tenderloin sandwich was terrific but the chicken noodle soup was a bit salty. Wasn't very busy when we were there but would definitely return. Attached to the cafe is a bakery and meat market all owned by the same family. Had their version of a hostess cupcake. Delicious! read more

This place is awesome!!! The NEW OWNERS Marcos and Sierra are so committed to taking this business to the next level. You have to try the meat!!! You will be hooked! And they fixed the smell read more

I am deeply disappointed, I have been a customer of MW Meats for over a year and am saddened at how poor the quality of their products has changed to. I purchased one of the ready to go boxes of meat and found the hamburger fatty and tasteless, the bacon thin and with no flavor and the steaks and pork chops okay but definitely NOT worth the high price I paid. My first experience with Midwestern Meats was amazing! The meat was full of color, flavor and when cooked it smelled incredible! Now, unfortunately it is completely opposite...the meat is fatty and not bright and colorful as before and when cooked you don't have that wonderful aroma that causes your mouth to water as you anticipate your meal. Most of my last box went to the dog. I will be finding another source for my meat purchases in the future. read more

Every time I come. The hours posted and the hours on the building door state 6:00 if I'm showing up at 539 and the doors are locked as well as employees just standing there. Either change your hours or stay open as stated. read more

I grew up in Mount Vernon NY. I helped my grandmother make sausages on Saturday mornings for a long time. The handmade sausages at Midwestern Meats are reminiscent of those sausages my grandma lovingly made. These are delicious, and no fillers. They don't shrink when they are cooked and the flavors are amazing. You can see the various spices as you bite into them. I would recommend this business for all your meat needs. read more

I saw their claim as selling beef sourced from one purveyor in Iowa so I was expecting to be able to buy USDA PRIME cuts of beef but when I asked was told they sell Australian beef cuts and can't classify them as USDA inspected & graded prime. I was disappointed with that and have kept my usual sources for real USDA PRIME. read more

Ok, first to dispel some erroneous information on some older posts...all employees wear masks and they are worn properly. No problems there. This was our first visit so we just roamed, especially in the meat department. I was asked a couple times if I needed help but I declined. After having made up my mind, I was standing at the counter for all of five seconds when one of the butchers yelled "counter" and help was there immediately. Very friendly, helpful people here. We walked out with some bakery samplings (apple fritters are to die for) and meat. Our first meal was their prepared Diablo Stuffed Chicken Breasts. You simply MUST try these. They are delicious. No cooking instructions are provided but we baked at 400 for 30 minutes and the internal temp was 170+ so I'd suggest baking at 375. Definitely buying more of these on our next visit. read more

Their meat is top notch. Went there yesterday. Bought some wonderful stuff. But why aren't the help wearing masks? I should have asked. The sign on the door said they had decided not to wear masks. Is it a political statement or a comfort issue? Will not be going back (or ordering online) until this COVID mess is over. read more

We ordered french dip and philly cheese steak sandwiches with fries. Sandwiches were good sized, large portions of meat in both. Unfortunately the meat in both sandwiches was way overcooked, dry and tasteless. One would think a restaurant associated with a butcher shop would know how to cook meat properly but not the case with our experience. read more

Excellent quality and prices. Super helpful and enjoyable staff! I will be a loyal customer for a very very long time!

We paid $50.00 for supposed aged rib eye beef steak, and it was horrible jerky beef that was worse than I've had at the cheapest steakhouse. This place is a pretentious gourmet butcher shop at which only the most inexperienced should shop. Don't be fooled! There are for real sources of great steak out there. Buy steak from a steakhouse rather than this rip off place is my advice. read more

Super friendly and knowledgable staff, they'll listen to what you need or if you need a special cut they'll do it for you, I walked in asking for a special cut of meat, cut wasn't available but pops made sure I got what I needed. read more

Awful experience. Unless you are fluent in meats and cuts. Avoid the commission butcher. Refused to trim, clean. Up charged for cutting. Not a nice experience They will eat the you up. Be firm and know what you want or get taken advantage of. 80$ for a 8.5 # brisket. You decide And Frankly the place needs a serious face lift. Nice outside. Gross inside. read more
