When in Alberta one must indulge in some quality Alberta beef! Picked up some burgers for dinner…read morerecently from this amazing local Calgary butcher shop. Also a bottle of jerk seasoning which at the time of this review remains unopened in my pantry. The burgers were juicy and delish. This is a modern version of an old skool butcher shop where you can get pretty much any cut of meat your heart desires. Definitely carnivore heaven. These local butcher shops used to be on every neighbourhood block one time ago. But with prepackaged mass factory meat they have become a thing of the past. Good eats!

Stopped in to pick up some burgers, spoke to one of the guys behind the counter, and he recommended…read morethe brisket patties due to a gluten allergy, they do use a breadcrumb binder in some of their other patties. These patties are smaller than the others they have for sale but were perfect for what I needed them for, which was a large family BBQ. 36 patties will run you about $45 from what I remember so they are on the pricier side for 4 oz patties but they were as close to my homemade hand pressed ones that I make. If you are looking for a great tasting lean burger without that gristly fatty mass produced grocery store frozen taste then come here. They also had fresh patties that appeared to have a higher fat content, also had some with bacon and seasoned; personally I like as little extras in my burgers, typically an 80/20 mix and salt and pepper right before grilling. The brisket burger will need to be lightly seasoned before grilling. Saw around 5 guys working behind the counter cutting and wrapping meat like total pros, and the place is impeccably clean, only downside is their website isn't great and there is no product or pricing on it and if you do go in some of the pricing is on the higher end, once the weather warms up I will pop in for a few steaks to try them out.

The guy at the counter is so rude, you'd think he's actually trying to drive people away. They rush you the whole way to make your choices and are impatient with the customers.

They also laugh at you when you haven't skinned the animal, basically implying that you're a sucker for now having to pay 60 bucks for that added service.

DISAPPOINTED with the experience last Wednesday August 16th at Pure Country Meats in Strathmore. My…read morefriend and former Walmart coworker who now works there told me to come and see him about some soup bones at 4:30PM at their store. I went in with my wife and asked the manager at the counter for my friend as he was expecting to see me at that time. The manager was annoyed at my inquiry about his employee and said and I QUOTE, "I am not STUPID to call him on the line when he is working!" When I told him that I was only here for some soup bones my friend put aside for me, the manager brudgeningly went to a freezer, pulled out a bag of soup bones, and with an irritated voice, "HERE is the soup bones!" and shoved the bag in my face! I put the bag of soup bones on the counter as I decided to no longer make s purchase and said to the manager, "you should not be so agitated and rough with old clients like me!" and The manager motioned my wife and I with his hands to leave the premises. As we proceeded out the door, I mentioned to the manager that "this is not what I expect from people in our community of Strathmore when we been living here since 1986!" My wife and I were in COMPLETE shock on the manager's mistreatment, disrespect, and verbal abuse and will no longer be patronizing this establishment. Please SHARE and let others know of my TERRIBLE customer experience we got at Pure Country Meat. Save yourself from the abuse, and suggest you go elsewhere!

After discovering that CRM delivers on orders over $100, I thought I'd give them a try. I ordered Chuck/Blade steak, beef soup bones, and a pack of beef fat trimmings. Everything is so fresh and beautiful - I'm so happy! Their online ordering site is easy to use. I've spoken with a couple of the staff over the phone and they were more than happy to answer my questions prior to ordering. A special word for Craig, their driver. He is so kind, and calls about 30 minutes prior to arrival. The orders can be delivered within 24 hours, between 12-5. You can also schedule an order in the future.

The nattily blue & white outfitted staff are incredibly courteous and helpful. There is a large case of prepared salads (the potato salad is to die for with tangy dill and bits of bacon) and a large display of cakes with many being gluten free or vegan. The carrot cake has cream cheese icing and a delicious home spiced appeal. There are ample selections of prepared foods, beautiful raw meats, spices, condiments, cheeses, sauces and random fun things to peruse. The prices are higher than the grocery store, but I did feel what I received was quality. I would like to return for steaks on a special occasion. I look forward to the produce market in summer and I will definitely be returning soon for more potato salad and cake!
