This review is for the deli. It was fantastic! We stopped by after landing at DTW airport and were heading out of town and found this place on Yelp (of course). We pulled up on a rainy holiday (they were open) and thought it may be a little sketch for a deli. But many times, those can be the best places. My wife and I both ordered Turkey Reubens. It seemed to take forever to prepare - and then discovered they were grilled. The end result was awesome! The perfect combination between meat, cheese and sauerkraut. I would make a point to drive here again to get this sandwich. read more

Sadly this place closed in early 2025. I knew it was coming. It wasn't open when it's hours said it was supposed to be. They had started using sauce from a jar. Or at least completely changed their sauce. They were trying to sublet the section to the side. Just seemed like they couldn't catch a break . Please remove from your listings. read more

I know there are a lot of mixed reviews about this place, but from Mt experience, I'd give 5 stars. I got fried chicken elsewhere but wanted soul food sides, so I got candid yams, macaroni, and greens. They were all so good. The greens had ribs falling off the bone in them, so they weren't from the can, as i know some people said on here in the reviews. The macaroni was homemade, and candid yams had good flavor. Wasn't expensive at all and good portions. Will return. read more

I've been ordering from city meats for the last five years. The food is always been very good and the service is always been excellent. Love the owners the prices. read more

My first time having them. I was referred to them by a family member. I ordered full slab of ribs and the rib tip dinner. BBQ sauce was amazing. My complaint is that the rib tips had bones much much like riblets from like apple bs. I've never has rib tips with bones in them. Needless to say..... I'm disappointed read more

Not impressed by the butcher shop or the breadth of offerings, but the barbecue was very good. Got a brisket sandwich to go and really enjoyed it. Brisket was tender, roll was fresh and tasty and guy behind the counter was polite and helpful. I'd go back for takeout again. read more

Love there food and there services! I hear that they are relocating not sure where and they also have a food truck and they also do catering looking forward to having food catered read more

Ordered 1/4 smothered chicken, received way more than that [3 thighs, 3 legs] with greens and dressing and cornbread thrown in. Service was good. Everything was salted to an extreme. Greens were not edible due to the amount of salt. All I could taste was salt. The rice under the chicken was mushy and overcooked. The dressing was mushy and bland, no flavor, tasted like wet cornbread. Chicken was okay, salty. Gravy and cornbread were good. I think my blood pressure rose from the salt after the first bites. Couldn't finish it and I was so disappointed. Ruined my appetite for the rest of the night. Wouldn't recommend. read more

Whoa the word pleasantly surprised is an understatement.... I pass by this place often and I always see people coming in and out but because it just says "meats" on the outside I never thought it was a soul food restaurant....BUT THEN one day I noticed a small sign underneath the "meat market" sign that said "soul food" so I thought maybe I'll try them out.... Very sketchy on the outside but Omg the soul food was absolutely DELICIOUS!!! I got the half slab dinner with Mac n Cheese and Sweet potatoes, the ribs were perfect - ALL MEAT, no fat or gristle and very well prepared not too charred or over cooked....perfect sauce, not too sweet not too salty, actually tasted homemade as well! The mac n cheese was nice, soft and CHEEZY and the sweet potatoes were NOT FROM THE CAN! Something I appreciate seeing how hard it is to find soul food places that actually make their sides FROM SCRATCH, not from CANS!!! My only disappointment was that they didn't throw in a piece of cornbread with my food after reading the reviews and hearing about how good their corn bread was I should've made sure I asked for some but I figured it came with the meal...it's all good, I WILL be back anyways so I'll catch it next time! read more

Opening Day has finally arrived!!!! Yay!!! I stopped in this afternoon on the way home from work, and although I saw some pictures of the work in progress, thought it would be your boring, old school butcher market. When walking in the door, however, that entire thought was erased... Well stocked meat display cases, cheese/deli meat counter towards the back of the store, fully stocked coolers with pasta salads, dips, basic groceries, pop, milk & juice, some veggies, chips, sauces and other cooking needs in the center of the store & rotisserie chicken by the front door... They also carry a wide array of Michigan made products, some of which include Better Made & Dearborn Sausage. Motor City Meats has a little bit of everything, and may even have the affect to make you buy more than you came in for! I know, because it happened to me! They even make deli sandwiches and burgers while you wait!! The staff is friendly & courteous, and Matt, the owner is the epitome of customer service! He wants to help you find exactly what you are looking for your ultimate grilling experience, and also provides great cooking tips to get the most flavor out of your purchase. He is simply amazing... This, my friends, IS NOT YOUR OLD MAN'S BORING MEAT MARKET! This is the new generation, and one that I think will last for a long, long time... read more

I am writing this review regarding the peach cobbler. I was very disappointed on 08/09/23. The cobbler crust was not light. It was thick and had no flavor. The peaches and juice were tart and had a flavor that was very unpleasant. Too much of some spice. May have been allspice or nutmeg. I am not sure which spice. I have had peach cobbler from them previously and it was very good. There was no consistency. It's great having a soul food restaurant in the area. Please be consistent. AJR read more

Always good food coming out of this place. I can't say about the deli (which I hear is good) or ordering cuts (from the inside it looks like they're all out... like you come in and they'll say to you "We're all out"). The meals are always plentiful and priced well for the area. Brisket could use a bit more flavor and the sides go quick, but its always a good place to visit for a quick fix. read more

I have been looking for a decent butcher for a long while in this area and I was excited when I saw the sign go up. That excitement was well founded! We have been going here for our meat for the last few months and have ZERO complaints. The staff is fantastic. The service is great. Everybody has a smile and it translates well in all aspects. The meat though... Just go buy some and try it. The chops had to have been fresh off the saw and the steaks were so tender we cut them with a fork. Their chicken breasts lacked the half a cup of goo that is common from the grocery store. I will have a hard time going elsewhere in the future, but am glad that I currently don't have to! So after a few months in which times got harder, I returned to MCM to find a shell of what it once was. The meat selection was poor for a weekend morning. The saddest was the vacuum packed slab of ribs on display as if it was something special. Ever since Matt left, this place has gone downhill. I left without buying anything and without some indication of a major change, I won't be back. The selection disappointing and just sad. read more

I don't get it. The selection is 1/3 what i tr was. I want to see trays of ground meat not pre packaged selections like I get at the big stores. No thawed fish. When I asked I was told it was in the freezer. When I said I wanted already unfrozen I was told "It only take a few minutes to thaw in water." So I waste my water and time. Nope. No more sandwiches, no more homemade sausage. I'm out. Back to Kroger. Sorry. read more

The food at this establishment was awful. I ordered the steak. The steak was burnt to the point It wasn't edible. The onions and green peppers that was an add on came back with just onions. The person preparing the plate was so confused. In attempt to hurry up the service she began to scrape the metal pan of macaroni and cheese. I asked her can we get a fresh pan of Mac and cheese. Although, she complied with an attitude. The server didn't like the fact that I was watching her preparing the plate. I sensed this is a hit or miss restaurant. Disappointed customer. read more

The prices here are pretty high, so I always order the lunch special, because it's such a good deal. I've gotten the rip tips, the hamburger, and the pulled pork lunch specials, and all of them were delicious. I've never been inside, but I get DoorDash. read more

Motor City Meats is, hands down, our absolute, favorite meat market. My husband and I grew up in Detroit neighborhoods that always had at least one meat market and no less than six or seven bakeries. Since moving to Belleville a few years ago, we've been on a quest to find a meat market we could count on. Thank goodness Motor Meats came along to fill that void! My husband shops there twice per month and stocks up on a variety of the freshest meats. He especially loves their homemade dips and goes crazy when they have whitefish pate' in. Everyone is always very nice. The store is clean and well stocked. It may sound like a simple things to love having a meat market nearby. But if you value serving your family delicious, fresh food, lovingly prepared, you'll want to check out Motor City Meats. We hope they're around for decades to come! read more

High quality meat selection. Fabulous deli! Lots of Michigan sourced items. Service is top rate. They are our first choice! I like their Red Potato Salad most of all. The place is kept very clean. It is a pleasant place to visit and shop. Their meats are fresh and they offer prime cuts at amazing prices. Parking is easy to get to and the shop itself is easy in and easy out. read more

The place was redone 10 times over. That's one plus for sure. The people in there were extremely nice . They had a selection of everything in there and things I've also never going heard of that I can't wait to try it. The place was very very clean and the prices are very reasonable. I will be going there to get more food highly recommended read more

Motor City Meats is reportedly under new ownership so their menu has changed quite a bit, but I am very very impressed with them so far! The staff is very friendly and courteous, and best of all the food is fantastic. I had the corned beef sandwich and my only regret is that I didn't get another one. Definitely going back for more BBQ goodness. read more

Today we purchased fresh chicken from the meat counter which was good. The problem was with the rib tips purchased from the kitchen which were so tough they were not chewable. They had a good taste and the sauce was good. Unless they are cooked better I will stick to buying from the meat counter. read more

My daughter ordered rib tips from MCM today. Instead, we received a takenaway container full of gristle and fat. What meat was actually in the container was very tasty. Really disappointed, because I've spoken very highly about this place to many people. read more

Motor City Meats has a great selection of high-quality Foods. I grab the Tomahawk Steak today for 22 bucks and that's pretty cheap in my book! Also grab some New York strip some in-house made sausages and a few burgers. This place is going to do great! Matt runs the place and is super customer service oriented he remembers every person's name that walks through the door! I highly recommend stopping through and grabbing something for your next barbecue read more

What a nice and very clean butcher. The staff is friendly and extremely helpful. They have a small freezer section, the sandwich counter is toward the back with lovely looking meats and cheeses, and a nice selection to choose from. They offer a small grocery aisle, and a refrigerated wall filled with cold drinks and house made salads. The quality of the meat is fantastic, a bit pricey but the convenience of having this market nearby makes up for it. Plus you pay for quality, which I'm happy to do. They make their own sausages (onion & potato was the bomb) in several different combinations, don't miss out on these. They take orders for fresh turkeys and I can't wait to pick up our bird for the holiday. They also have a heated table with rotisserie chicken and wings, which have the most wonderful seasoning. I will be a customer again and again. Try them out. read more

Literally just bought a ribeye from there. The steak was grey out of the package. I cooked it anyways just to see. Took a bite out of it tasted so spoiled. Why are you guys leaving raw meat sitting out all day!! Cut it to order out of the fridge! You're a Butcher for goodness sakes! read more

Food is always delicious, portions are generous, and the staff is very friendly. The fresh meat portion of this location is to die for, if your looking for nice cuts of meat for barbecues this is your place. read more

Last Friday i purchased a large order on a time crunch those ladies gave me wonderful Service And a Hot And Delicious Food Very Happy Thank You read more

Prices have steadily increased and the quality of service and food has decreased. You will put in a order via phone and be told 15-20 minutes and when you get there have to wait another 15 and deal with their staffs lack or urgency and attitudes. Tighten up read more

i didn't know about this place until the beginning of the year , and every since I've never stopped going back ! Their food is on point everytime ! I love it read more

Same owner as the now closed Pizmo's in Wayne, MI - Delicious food and great customer service. Matt the owner, takes the time to address many customers by name. This is my favorite place to buy bacon, brisket, burgers, (gouda + mushroom!) and sausages (cherry pecan!) - such a huge selection and my dogs love the marrow bones I bring home from here. Reasonable prices on fresh cut meat and he sells beer, desserts and grocery items too. You also have the option of grabbing a deli sandwich while you're there, from the menu or build-your-own. Go see Matt and crew you won't be sorry! read more

The Jamaican selection taste nothing like real Jamaican food at all. The jerk sauce is so far away from real Jamaican jerk sauce it's not even funny. It don't even have the color let alone the taste lol it's supposed to be made with allspice berries and Scotch bonnets soy sauce and a few other things. The rice didn't even taste like it had coconut milk in it. It's definitely not Jamaican I wouldn't say the food is nasty but it's really really far from Jamaican Cuisine. I like the place and I've supported a long time but they definitely need to hire somebody or research a little bit on how to cook Jamaican food. I was really disappointed. read more

Review for Real McCoy BBQ - Super disappointed. I drive by twice a day and can smell the delicious smoker and couldn't wait to try some really good smoked meat. I went in Friday night and order the beef brisket dinner and the 4 pc fried chicken dinner. First the bad - the beef brisket was the toughest brisket I have ever eaten, It had no flavor, no smoke, the only thing I could taste was the bbq sauce that was drenching it. There were no smoke rings, no good charred strips, the meat was tough and nasty. I threw it out after trying about 3 very chewy bites. I ordered green beans and the baked spaghetti as my two side with this dish. I can't review the spaghetti, because they didn't give me any, instead I got the yams. Don't like yams, gross. Better - The fried chicken was definitely better than the beef, however I have never gotten a 4 pc dinner that didn't include a breast??? This one had 2 thighs, a wing and a drum stick, my mistake for not asking. It was very flavorful. But wished for a breast. This ones sides were green beans and mac & cheese. Mac and Cheese - super disappointed in this too. It had no flavor, cheesy or otherwise. Green beans - the highlight of the dinner. Really really good, great flavor. They only item I would order again unless they offer fried chicken breasts. The best part of the experience were the employees. They were very friendly, helpful, explained the menu and overall very nice. But the food was lacking. Huge bummer. read more

I used to work here. When I was here, they were ALWAYS fully stocked and had butcher's to cut if something was lacking. Today, not only did they have an empty display case but the sign that says "If you don't see your cut of meat we will gladly cut it for you"... Hahaha.. That's a lie. Their butcher wasn't there. We ended up with 2 tiny tiny porterhouses. And to be honest they werent that good. MCM SUCKS ANYMORE!!!!! read more

Ordered a Ribeye and a Porterhouse dinner. Both steaks were cooked perfectly. Both steaks were as long as the take out box! Better steak than a steakhouse for a fraction of the cost! read more

Barbecue tasted boiled. I thought they smoked the ribs outdoors. I'll pass next time my family is in the mood for barbecue. Would not recommend. read more

The worst place ever!! when they say 4 pc of chicken/ Ribs etc dont count on good quality meat, it's like he picks the meat from the bottom of the barrel, its nasty & not cooked very well, taste like all the meat put together, u will never see me in there again Thank u very much read more

Fraud! My mother picked up two fillets for her birthday dinner. She brought them home and they were definitely *not* fillets. One was a trim piece from the loin that was covered in fat, and one was the bottom of the loin. Yeah, that's the part of the cow where the fillet comes from, but they were definitely *not* fillet cuts. The trim piece was rolled up to where if you weren't looking closely it looked like a fillet. So basically, they're trying to pass off inferior cuts of meat. This is dishonest and underhanded, and my family will no longer give these people our money. read more

I'm only giving this place a one star because the owner ( Matt ) retirement. There's the story . I usually go to the norm's market to get my meats cause it right around the block from me on Wayne rd. But I saw this place and decided to give it a try. Matt ( the owner ) met me at the door and asked my name and was more than happy to help me pick the best meat for the holidays plus give me info on things I could make for side. Wow this guy is good so now I make sure to go back as much as possible and yes Matt remembered my name every time which I found out later he remembered all his customers names. Which now you know my disappointment when I called in a order ( Matt would have my meat packaged waiting on my arrival when I did this ) to find out from a employee that Matt has retired and the meat ( prime ribs) was prime FAT ! Since The departure of the previous owner is no longer there I will not return to his place ever again. It's sad cause I spent a lot of money in this place weekly just to see this place go down hill. I give this place 3 weeks before it close down for good. Thank you Matthew for all you did for me my family and friends read more

They know their stuff, cuts of meat your mom made. Loved our steaks, and pre-seasoned fish from the freezer! So nice to have great ground burger!! This is a shop we need to keep!! read more
