At one counter we're the butcher seemed to understand my plight aNd recommended that I check out the Big Red Market in Thorold. I did and was I impressed by the cuts of meat readily available. I ended up leaving with a Blade roast, a Beef brisket and a Corned Beef roast from a barrel. Needless to say I'll be back again soon for something else to enjoy making - in 3 days I've already cooked a corned beef dinner and a Chinese Beef Brisket stew with Daikon Radish. The possibilities are wide and varied indeed. Thanks for the great service - Be back soon.

Found this cute restaurant and visited on the way to see a concert in Niagara. The parking lot is…read morean odd shape that could only fit a max of what seemed like 6 cars in front of the restaurant. The servers were friendly, and informative - explaining that the entire animal is used and not wasted. My favourite was the squash which was a perfect mix of savory and sweet. The rest of the table liked the beef tongue and smoked pork chop with the mushrooms. Portions were good as all of this was shared amongst 5 people.

My partner and I have been excited to try out Fat Rabbit, and after dining here, I can honestly say…read moreit was well worth the wait. The ambience, the service already left a great first impression to me, and this would be the perfect spot to have a celebration, or a cozy date. The food was magnificent. There are a lot of options to choose from, and the differing sizes of the dishes they offer allow you and your party to share and try just about anything you want. They emphasize the idea that most things are shareable, which is a bonus, as if you are dining in these type of restaurants, you just want to try as much as you can when you're there. The meat is extremely tender and seasoned so well. Even the leftovers for the next day taste just as amazing as it did the previous night. And yes, if you come visit, definitely try their sticky toffee pudding dessert. It is a shareable size and it will leave such a great final touch to your experience dining here. One thing to note, the dishes add up quite easily and will become an expensive meal after ordering a few different dishes. Overall, I would recommend everyone to try out this restaurant. The ingredients they source, the idea of using every part of meat so nothing gets wasted, makes it feel good to support the restaurant.

I want to give a big shout out to Richard's Fine Meats in St. Catharines I'm extremely impressed…read morewith how they've handled things and I wish more businesses would adopt the protocols these guys used from the start: 1) Full stock itemized online; 2) Order via phone/messenger; 3)Order is bagged and ready for your pickup; 4) Pick up at the door, without going inside; 5) touchless payments accepted; 6) Acrylic panels at the door help separate the staff from the customers; 6) Still able to flex and make last-minute changes to orders; 7) Giving staff the long weekend off! Well done! Cabbage rolls are awesome. Burgers are fantastic!

I'd heard rave reviews about Richard's so I bought a big chicken there for Thanksgiving dinner. It…read morewas tender, juicy, meaty, lots of leftovers. So last month I bought a 4+ pound chicken, from the same store, same price per pound. The small amount of meat on it was tough, dry , and the "white" meat was an unappetizing beige colour: obviously an elderly soup chicken. I called the store about it. No sympathy. She just repeated that they all came from the same source. Given these these odds, I won't shop there again!

I've only been here once, but my first impression was positive. The store was clean and organized,…read moreand the products looked like good quality. It was apparent that they focus only on high quality products so the variety was less than what you'd see at larger conventional grocery stores. The cashier was friendly as well and helped us bag our items. I'd definitely come back here again the next time I'm in the area.

I have done nothing wrong but the managers & the HR manager didn't want to hear anything I had to say. I was told my employment with them has been terminated & I was escorted out of the store. This was humiliating & I was embarrassed. I've been happily married to my husband for 6 years & would never even THINK of doing something like this...not to anyone...it's NOT who I am! This company makes me sick & I'm very angry that they not only wouldn't listen to anything I had to say...but also over the way I was treated. I would recommend NOT giving them your business.

There's a mix of produce, food, & other vendors, but it is SUPER small and quite pricey. (Personally, I don't think it's worth paying for parking if you hafta visit.) I'd go without any expectations. Cannot really compare to larger Market's like St Jacob's or Kitchener.

When ordering, his butcher will custom cut if you only buy a 1/4 cow when others won't unless you get a1/2 -or more. They also dry age 21 days and sometimes longer but depends on the meat and what the butcher feels is best. The steaks and roasts have an incredible meaty flavour which makes me wonder where the flavour goes from supermarket meat? Please take your time when choosing what you put in your body. Get to know the farmer and make wise choices. We have tried a few different beef farmers in the area and Cartwright is by far the best value and quality we have found to date.

I feel that one of the most important things, that is maybe not focused on or thought about as much…read moreas it should be, is knowing where your food comes from and buying local. This place is incredible. The prices are right on the mark and the quality of their products is out of this world. I'm not exaggerating. My family has been taking their deer here for processing for many years and they make the best tasting venison hot dogs and jerky, amongst many other things. Their business is meat processing but they also have a nice little storefront that is fully stocked with a great variety of meats and cheeses. This past summer, I purchased all of the beef burgers and hot dogs that I needed for a big birthday party I was having and it was super reasonable and everything tasted great. I will never buy hot dogs, burgers, or steaks from the grocery store again. I like to go to Falconer's and stock up on everything I'll need to feed my family for a while. It's great to have a large chest freezer and fill it up with good stuff from here! The last time I was there, I ended up buying myself some beef jerky treats and they did not last in my house. Super yummy. This place is definitely worth a trip. You won't want to buy your meats anywhere else after you've gone here.
