Old Hoosier Meats is an old school butcher shop with all the charm. It is a small, friendly place where the staff are really friendly and helpful. Customers praise the real, rich beef that is beautifully red and tender, without all the chemicals of over-processed meat. Many note the fantastic and delicious quality, calling the filet mignon the best they have ever had and saying the boneless ribeyes are gorgeous.
The shop offers a variety of meats. People recommend the crazy thick bacon, jalapeno cheese beef sticks, homemade sausages, and jerky tossed fresh from the smoker. They also have smoked cheeses, described as rich and creamy, in varieties like cheddar, pepper Jack, and Swiss. Special smoked items like wings and ribs are highlighted, particularly on Thursdays.
Prices are noted as really good, with some cuts priced much lower than grocery stores. The generous portions, like a bag of jerky that feels very heavy, add to the value. The overall experience leads customers to plan return visits every time they are in the area, calling it a great place to shop for delicious, meaty goodness.
