“I went here for a barbecue I was hosting last weekend, The pricing was more than fair. The food was amazing, and I got everything I needed. It's hard to find good reliable meat market's like this nowadays. I have McKinnon's Meat market to thank, they helped me find everything I needed and even offered some other options that might be better! They went above and beyond for me and I am eternally grateful! Highly recommend.”
“Look, the market is very good, the only problem is that I waste a lot of time talking to the butcher because he is a very good person and the agent always chats a lot, I highly recommend, kisses”
“I’ve been meaning to stop into Savenor’s for ages, and finally made it in after scoring a hard-to-find Too Good To Go bag. The staff was friendly and the bag itself felt promising - it was heavy. Unfortunately, when I got to the car and looked inside, it was a produce bag and everything except a single russet potato and a small ficelle was rotting. The main item was a five-pound butternut squash that had was mushy at the top. It was a real disappointment.
I did end up purchasing a boutique-flavor Jeni’s ice cream, but overall the shop didn’t leave a great impression. I live less than half a mile away and had hoped this would become a regular stop, but the experience missed the mark for me.”
“We grabbed two sandwiches and went to the nearby hidden park up the street (fantastic place to sit and eat - Temple Street Park). There was no seating available on the patio at CRCC.
All-in-all, we enjoyed our food for the most part. The sandwiches were very fresh and tasty. I enjoyed the #3 (Fried Chicken) and my wife enjoyed her #4 (turkey). The sides were just okay, not very fresh (we got one of each).
There is a selection of cheeses, sauces, and drinks. A bit of a smorgasbord of options.
We paid $38 (including one iced tea and tip). I know we're in Boston, but even that seemed a lot, especially considering it was not sit down and had no place to go right there.
Probably wouldn't go back and would try another of the many options in the area, but the sandwiches were fresh and tasty.”
“Always helpful and pleasant, the staff here is second to none!
(Close second: Salem,NH....I'm sensing a trend here...♡)
As always, my teeny, OG* McKinnon's in Everett is small but mighty!

“The best chicken cutlets - perfectly sliced and trimmed - I only want cutlets from Sulmona! And the Roastacciini - lamb skewers are the best - must have for any bbq or pizza party. WE LOVE THEM, cant get enough, highly recommend and purchase from here beginning of every summer. Now that I know about the cutlets may have to go back more often!! YUM!!”
“I’m happy to give you five stars for the excellent quality of the meat, the outstanding service, and the quick delivery. Thank you for your professionalism — you’re truly the best, and I’ll be recommending you to others!”
“Great family business with a very nice and friendly environment. The Asian and homemade sausages are delicious and the frued chicken and eggplant are always a favorite too.
The owner should be the mayor”
“Went here back in November with my big Sister, who was going to prepare some Oxtails & Pidgeon Peas and rice for me. This is an interesting place, although my Sister was telling me we used to come here all the time for meat when I was younger.
This is a butcher shop like on a wholesale level though, nothing fancy and they have a plethora of seasonings for said meat as well. Ethnic rice to purchase too!
According to my big Sister the prices were competitive if not better than the local grocery markets. It can be confusing to find as it is in an Industrial warehouse area but don't fret - they have all your meat needs covered.
Respectfully Reviewed.”

“our family has been buying meat from Mawlud and his wife for over 30 years! aside from being the best of people, their meat is the cleanest you’ll find. we’ve moved between states and throughout cities and have tried closer options yet we always come back here as they truly are the best in the businesses, i really mean it!”
“Fantastic chicken at great prices. Also have fresh eggs. The place is spotless with out any bad odors like most butcheries. The staff is always efficient and courteous. I can't go back to grocery store chicken.”
“Amazing Brazilian Market! and They are Such a nice people! The owner ( Spanish Lady) she is so sweet!. And so is the other Brazilian girls! I like the go there bc every time they treat me so well.
Atendimento nota 10! ?”
“Bianca sausages are truly exceptional in their taste and quality. They are always freshly prepared and delightfully delicious. They offer a variety of different flavors.”
“They are the only place around that sells James River BBQ sauce, (the kind that is used on roast beef sandwiches at any sub/sandwich shop, and they also have a great and very affordable selection of marinated meat. They always run specials on something, and I’ve literally never ever had any issues with the meat going bad too fast.
They are open till 11PM and are super friendly check them out!”
“I love this store. It has almost all the dried beans, lentils, legumes you could ask for. There's lots of bulk spices and a good selection of tea. I haven't tried their meat, but everything I have tried has been good quality for decent prices. If you live in the area, this is a great shop to stock up on bulk supplies or grab an ingredient you run out of.”
“Extremely reliable butcher shop, we've gotten pork belly, picanha, and beef they ground right in front of us. Good prices for the quality.
The market has a big variety of products for such a tiny space. Come early while the 'cheesebread' and bread are most fresh.”
“When you are hosting family coming out of state for Mother's Day and want to serve steak tips...only 1 option...D&N sirloin tips hands down! My family favorite is the Sweet Asian Chili but they are ALL delicious...oh and delivery...is FAST...give them a try!”
“I have been a long standing customer of Puritan Beef. They take great care of their customers, they have done a custom order for me on occasion when they didn't carry regularly what I was looking for and the quality of the meat I purchased has been excellent! If that wasn't enough, they have very reasonable and affordable prices. Cannot recommend them enough!!”

“Absolutely excellent customer service. The owner delivered the spices I bought personally for me when I could not get there although they were not currently even delivering. This was exceptionally nice of him. They are super friendly and just great business people. The spices were completely authentic. Excellent taste. I highly recommend. Love this place.”
“Yesterday was my first time here, so happy to find Halal close to home. The staff were friendly , professional and welcoming . All The meat and store products were of very good quality and clean atmosphere ! I appreciated the warm welcome when I came in the door . I will be back for more!”
“We go to AP all the time... the Dot location is cozy and the employees are off-the-charts nice. Quality of gourmet groceries, deli meats/cheese, and wine/beer/liquor selection are all phenomenal. I bought several people xmas gifts this year that were just little baskets full of things entirely from AP. Owner Matt went above and beyond when there was a mixup with something we ordered, dropping off a gift to our home. This is the sort of stuff that neighborhood patrons don't forget!”
“The quality of fresh meat is excellent....I just wish the men would stop flirting nonsense. Some people just want to order there meat in peace and quiet ??????.”
“I shop at this market regularly for fresh chicken and vegetables. I have also purchased spices to make Vietnamese, Thai & Filipino food. There are a variety of products including spices, spice packs and seasonings.”
“Solid butcher. Has an array of fresh meat options (whole chicken, wings, legs, sausages, and steaks) as well as some cold items, fresh vegetables, and pantry staples. The place is immaculately clean. Prices are very reasonable. Bilingual signage and staff. Skip Shaw's and get your meat from the local butcher.”
