    Prime ribeye
    Mark J.

    Today was my first visit. I was looking for a local butcher and Texas Slabs popped up. I thought the name was kinda odd and also the focus seemed to be jerky but I gave it a shot. The place is unassuming and not what you would think of as a butcher shop but they have a great selection of meats. The owners were also very friendly and helpful. I picked up two prime ribeyes. We grilled them tonight and they were delicious. I will be back again. I love being able to support a local business rather than having to go to the supermarket.

    Wonderful selection of high quality meats at very reasonable prices. It's such a hidden gem within Mansfield! The staff are friendly and they also have rubs and sauces for days!

    Fathers Day Smoked PRIME Brisket!  THE BOMB!

    Fathers Day Smoked Prime Brisket! The Bomb! Also smoke sausage and Ribs. They have a great selection of meat, beef jerky, spices, and many other things!

    Tri-tip
    Shannon S.

    I think it's important to have a good butcher because it's good for the economy and ecology. It is better for all parties involved to eat and shop locally. Grass-fed, local beef is a treat. We got a tri-tip, and some Rib-eyes and beef jerky. Everything was clean and delicious. (We smoked the tri-tip at home). I also liked that there were many protein options to choose from and they have some cuts which are hard to find at least in the south Dallas/Grand Prairie grocery stores. Like the tri-tip. The other upside: it's cheaper than getting grass-fed beef at Central Market. The only downside: it's far from my house.

    18oz Ribeye.  Best steaks around

    Truly a hidden gem just off FM 157 (Cooper St in Arlington) and H 287 in Mansfield. They make about 5 or 6 different flavors of jerky ranging from sweet to salty to spicy and everything in-between. The true secret however, is the meat they sell. They have a tiny butcher's case which stocks some of the BEST Choice/Prime, wet-aged beef you'll find outside of one of the "membership clubs" or specialty stores. This meat though is different. It's LOCALLY SOURCED from a ranching company out of Fort Worth called Frontier Meats. Their beef is raised locally, grass-fed, pasture-grazed and does NOT get pounded with hormones and antibiotics. "Holy crap Ted - that sounds really really expensive lol" you ask? Newp. For instance, high-grade Choice Ribeye normally sells for around 10.99 /lbwith common specials bringing it down to 9.99/lb. The last time I was there they also had Bone-In Ribeye for 8.99/lb. Their Prime-grade Ribeye is generally 11.99/lb if I recall which is still a fantastic price. a 16 oz steak for 12 bucks. Try getting a deal like THAT at Del Frisco's. One drawback to being small however (and the reason I knocked the rating down1 star) is that it really limits the cuts they have available. No room for butchering equipment means everything is hand-cut. This is great if you want a 1.5 inch steak for dinner but it sucks if you're looking for a great Porterhouse. You won't find one here. (they can't cut that primal with a handsaw/knife) They do also have a cold-case which stocks some fantastic Briskets, poultry, pork, bison steaks/ground, sausages, some of the best uncured bacon (no nitrates!) all at prices competitive to what you see at the big-box retailers and membership clubs. Just remember that Quality is the difference here folks. The staff is friendlier than hell and very very helpful - especially if you're looking for recommendations on meat. There's also a plethora of jar'd sauces/salsas, mixes, rubs, condiments and anything else you can thing of that would accompany a Texas cookout. (minus beer and potato salad). There's been rumored-discussions about them expanding the store and increasing the stuff they offer. Let's just hope that includes some more butchering capacity because I sure could sink my teeth into a nice, 22oz Porterhouse right about now

    This place is amazing! Purchased a NY Strip, and was tender and you can tell the quality of meat!

    My husband and I finally got to visit Wise Choice Custom Meats today! We were super excited to find…read morethis local meat market, as we normally order through Porter Road and have to wait on shipping for weeks sometimes. This is a game changer :D There are freezers full of delicious frozen offerings, fries, jalepeno taters, fried pickles, etc, and we grabbed a few to try. Also, there is a wall of quite the selection of local honey, jams, etc. BUT the real gem, the raw meat counter was chock-full of incredible cuts and varieties of meats! We decided to try to the cordon bleu chicken and brisket poppers this trip, as well as an 18 pound brisket, YUM! The employees were ready to help with any questions and even handed us a basket when our hands started to get too full. So grateful! I will note for future review readers, there is about a 4% card charge. Apparently there are signs that I missed while I was busy bouncing my eyes from product to product, so I ended up having to call once I got home about why the receipt showed a much high price than the label on the meats. So, the price label on the products is the cash price, totally understandable! In conclusion, Wise Choice exceeded our expectations on meat selection, and they even have Diet Dr Pepper and Topo Chico (I didn't have to run to Walmart for sodas! Woohoo!). Thanks team!!

    Let's start this meat-ing by saying... 5 STARS all around!…read more Service: A Bunch of Southern Gentlemen! Ambiance: Clean with lots of seating inside and out. Food: Quality, quality, QUALITY! I'd like to try the whole menu, but I've only been twice. The first time, we grabbed their famous Double Standard Burger. Meaty & marvelous! The second time, I grabbed the House Salad with Chicken. Healthy! The third time, I grabbed TMB French Dip. FAVORITE ITEM thus far. (: All times, fries were had. They are crispy, well seasoned and pair to perfection with Heinz ketchup. Oh, and I can't forget the iced tea and lemonade! I made an Arnold Palmer with them... gamemaker for any lunchtime meal. :D Will I be going back? Hands down. I have more to try!!!

    Update: My first review- My beef sandwich was delicious;…read morethe meat was so tender. My friend liked hers as well. I can't wait to go back. Second experience did not live up to my first experience. I came back with my husband. I tried the burger and he had the blt. The beef sandwich is better. I got the single patty. If you get the burger, get the double. The patty was thin. I think the Hawaiian roll made it sweet. If you like sweet burgers, you may enjoy it more than I did. I also bought the "world famous" Swiss pastry shop Black Forest cake. Evidently I've never had their Black Forest cake because it was horrible. Black forest cake is supposed to be chocolate with cherries. The cake was white with cool whip. But here's the big issue - it was dried out and hard. The guy behind the counter told me it was frozen. This cake was not hard from being frozen. I asked several questions about the type and quality. I'm surprised he didn't offer a refund. Not worth $6.50. Not sure I'll go back again.
