Sparrow Meat Market is a standout neighborhood market known for its exceptional fish and butcher counters. It offers a deep product mix, including unique items like lingonberries and enchilada sauce, making it far from an average big box store. The market is praised for its high-quality, unique cuts of meat, including fresh pork belly and hard-to-find items like ground duck. Customers appreciate the warm and accommodating service from the staff, who provide respectful assistance and can customize orders. The market also features a selection of drinks, snacks, and fresh vegetables, although the produce section is modest. Prices are reasonable for the quality offered, with many products sourced from reputable suppliers, such as Maple Leaf Farms for duck. While parking can be challenging during busy times, especially around the holidays, visitors find it worth the effort to explore the variety and quality available at Sparrow Meat Market. This local gem supports the community and is conveniently located next to the Farmer's Market, making it an excellent choice for anyone looking to enhance their meals with quality ingredients.
This was a lucky find…it’s a foodies paradise. Design and layout makes you feel at like you’re at a country neighborhood market, but it offers so much more. Such a great variety in shopping, especially their meats. The prime ribeye we got was amazing and completely worth it.

Have been shopping from Bob Sparrow since he opened the meat counter, before he bought the Kerrytown grocery. They do great work, very friendly service, have great meats, a wide supply of groceries and are very good about special orders for special or unusual meats.
