Center Cut Meats came into my life because I am looking to cut out the middle man (aka big box…read moregrocery) when buying beef, specifically ground beef. The market prices have gotten to expensive and I'd rather give my money to a small business vs a CEO. And Rogers isn't too far off a drive from Blaine, plus extended family is in the area. And I don't care for VonHanson's or Anoka Meats. So road trip to Rogers it is. I've grown up eating smoked meats from Thielen Meats (Pierz, MN) so I judge smoky smells and flavor to them. And walking into the market they definitely had something being smoked in the back! I saw a buffet on one side of the market but that was empty today. Only lunch buffet is offered during the week. Lots of deep freezers and upright freezers to grab different proteins (sausage, weiners, jerky, beef sticks, ground beef, patties and seafood). They also had a freezer full of take n bake pies. They also had a fresh deli salad and meat counter. Two guys working the fresh meat counter were very helpful. Gave me written instructions on cooking everything. It was only me and 1 other person the whole time. After I paid and waited for sis to pay, then 5 other people/families walked in. It got busy quick. We bought a frozen bologna ring (big shoes to fill because...Theilens), a stuffed pork chop, 2 cheesy Twice baked potatoes, and 2 stuffed jalapeños. Also 75/25 beef/pork blend of ground hamburger for only $4.49/lb. That's a price I like. We just came from MG Costco and price compared on different cuts of beef (ground, roast, sirloin, chops). These guys are just a tish cheaper too, which was surprising. Made a pork chops, potatoes and jalapeños for dinner tonight. Oh yeah! We'll be back. Those tastes 10 times better than Hyvees fresh meat counter.

Great place - 5 stars!…read more I've been buying most of my meat products from Coborn's in Ramsey for many years. But I haven't been very happy with the "Four Brothers" brand. (The previous "Kretschmar" brand was even worse.) Fortunately, I visited Anoka Meat and Sausage for the first time and I'm very impressed. This is definitely my new go-to spot for my zero-carb, meat based diet. This place has nearly everything you could ever want from a meat market. Plus, they have tons of extra specialty products like spices, rubs, sauces...and more. And they're the ONLY place I've found (so far) in my local area that offers bacon with no added sugar! I don't know why it's is so hard to find processed meat with no sugar. Companies insist on throwing sugar in every damn food product and they even do it with meat...rotisserie chickens, hot dogs, sausages, hot dogs, jerky, brats, bacon, braunschweiger, etc. Don't believe me? Read the labels. They try to hide it by listing sugars on the ingredient label as organic cane juice, turbinado sugar, sucanat, molasses, honey, dextrose, kings syrup, invert syrup, maltose...you name it...they try to sneak it in everything. I found a website that lists sugars by 65 difference deceptive and sneaky names. It's sad. I guess the big food companies want everyone to be diabetic. Last but not least, the employees are very friendly and I feel the prices are very reasonable. You can go to Main Street Anoka and buy a high end product for the same price (or less) than the big box grocery stores with questionable quality. What's not to love? Thumbs up! -Maxx

They advertise that they offer catering services but their worksheet does not have an up to date…read moreemail address to send it into. I emailed them weeks ago and never heard back. When I called they said they switched their email address but did not update their information sheet. I asked about their bartender services & the person who answered the phone had no idea that it was a service their worksheet said they provided. He was going to ask Andrew who is the one who does the catering but the person said Andrew was very flustered with things at the moment. The person asked when our event would be taking place. I told him & he said they will be busy with catering Brew Fest and 3 other weddings that day. Tells me they are not organized. I emailed the request to cater to the new email address and still have not heard anything.

Last time came through I picked up a chuck roast that I smoked and then put into a soup. The meat was fall apart in the mouth. I've got some brats and pork chops that are ready to go when the rain stops. When I last went, I was about three hours out from getting home and my portable cooler was in my wife's car. I asked if they sold the cooler bags but they do not. They hooked me up with a box and a couple of small bags of ice and it worked out great. Gotta show the love to the places that go the extra mile for you.

Veggie skewers (yes, please), Brussels sprouts ready for grilling. I could go on, but my adult husband was having a happy melt down at the meat counter so I had to take him home to the grill. He grilled up the beef kabobs and they were a great buy (all pure steak meat-no fat/bone/gristle)! They tasted fresh and delicious (even better the next day to put beef steak in tacos). Today we're trying the Cherry Bomb Brats (HOT pepper jack cheese/maraschino cherry flavored). Well played, Von!
