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!

18oz Ribeye.  Best steaks around
Ted W.

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

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.

We are here just about every weekend spending $200. Great…read moremeat. Always willing to make sure you have what you need. Just ask and they will provide. Small town feel with big hearted family customer service.

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!!

The Steak and Fries (actual ribeye), Signature Grilled (Tenderloin) Steak sandwich, French Dip sandwich, made from their New York Strip and Brisket Cheese Melt are some of the bigger sellers. The grilled steak house salad or grilled steak Caesar salads are fresh and delicious. One of their biggest sellers is a Smoked Turkey and bacon wrap that is excellent. The service is second to none. I highly recommend this premier west Fort Worth business.

I've heard nothing but good things about this place and their food but I have yet to check it out until I saw their entry for Burger Week With A caramelized onion jam and melted Brie which sounded delicious and I'm happy to report it was! It was a very flavorful and delicious Burger, the caramelized onion Jam was awesome and a great combination with the melted Brie on the brioche bun unfortunately I was only able to try three burgers this year mostly because a few of the locations are closed on Sunday which is crazy but this burger definitely is the winner of the three that I tried. That would certainly recommend the meat board to anyone looking for a quality Burger and some very high quality meat sold at the counter.
