“It's definitely your old-time general store in its setup continued into the modern day. Love the selection of meats and cheeses, never a disappointment when I want to try out something new or different. They always have specials going on that are hand written on the cooler door behind the counter. Even letting you get a tasting of what they are offering for that day.
If it's your first time checking this place out. There are a couple of printouts for their meats and cheeses, respectively, sitting in pockets on the support pole by the counter. Thumbing through it, you will be amazed at all they offer. Not just local or domestic but regional from around the world.
This is the only place I get my Parmigiano or Parmigiano Reggiano from. You can even see that the wheel they cut it from has the required stippling on the rind so that you know it's authentic.”
“Just passed by there and was amazed by the variety of all they had to offer! The Baklava was the yummiest- best not too sweet and the freshest taste ever for $2.”
“Clean place, went for one item, only two choices. But, found a few other items in the store to pick up. Didn't buy meats this trip, but looked good and counter was busy.”
“This made my holiday! Chitlins are my favorite food but I don’t have often because I don’t feel like cleaning AND the overall availability plus price increases have made it hard. This year my mom surprised us by purchasing 50lbs of these pre cleaned chitlins which made it so much easier. She was able to quickly go through them and like many said it was well worth it not to sort through the filth you usually deal with. I’d be happy to purchase again.”
“We called down to Ronnie’s looking for short ribs for Christmas dinner, Tommy Ronnie’s son answered the phone! He was quite a hoot with my question of how much did he think I need for 6 people, I explained I’d be have salad potatoes and veggies! He stopped me right there and had me and my husband laughing very hard! My husband order ahead and he asked I come along. When we got there I looked him up and asked if he’d like a salad, we all laughed and of course everyone at the counters knew the story! We have been buying meats from Ronnie’s for years, I highly recommend you give them a try!”
“I’ve been gone form Detroit for a while just came back and have been trying to catch these guys open on Vandyke and lantz so I can try that famous pork skin and if they have it I want the big piece of pork skin they eat with the guacamole ?”
“Probably a weird review but I was watching the movie “Kill the Irishman “ and I saw Danny (he’s the Irishman in the movie) driving his Cadillac past the signs of this shop and I thought wait a minute that’s written in Arabic. And now I’m here ?”
“What a pleasure to interact with the fine gentlemen of LKL packaging!!! Great product and great staff. Would highly recommend!! Thank you for the service and the amazing breakfast sausage. Best around!!!”

“I really love coming here! The meat is always fresh and high quality, and the staff is consistently helpful, friendly, and welcoming. You can tell they take pride in what they do—definitely one of my go-to spots..”
“I've done business with Ernst for over 25 years as an executive chef in three restaurants. Not only has the service been outstanding, the knowledge of the owner Greg Ernst and his staff- the excellence of their product- the communication are simply excellent. They've been local and family owned for generations; integrity and transparency beyond reproach. Like many chefs I have to "deal with the Big Boys"- Sysco, US Foods, GFS etc. And frankly, I never had much use for any of of them per se. Ernst has performed brilliantly for me- and got product to me when The Big Boys could not- even though that lack of product was their mistake. I heartily endorse Ernst Hotel Supplies in all areas- Do yourselves a favor and make a call- you and your crew, your guests & your bottom line will not regret it.”

“Great experience, live chicken slaughter, as best as it gets. Mention what size chicken depending on availability and they'll always fulfill it. Number one tip: always call before going there because sometimes they sell out! Also their cook food section has rotisserie chicken and other fried finger foods ... bargain deals! + Grocery store and some small selections of other meats, chicken is dominant of course.”
“Great customer service, great prices, it was my first time going by the guys are really cool and nice. Must go and check them out if you're looking for a meat market in the area.”
“Truckers listen up! Not a lot of maneuver room unless you have a 0600 appt. Use the empty dirt lot directly across from the dock area. Staff was friendly and started unloaded immediately once I docked.”
“I’ve been shopping at Meatland Market for many years, and I can honestly say they never disappoint! The service is always amazing, and the staff is consistently kind, helpful, and knowledgeable.
The ladies who work there are so sweet, welcoming, and always willing to help with a smile.
The guys behind the meat counter are just as wonderful—always friendly and full of great ideas on what I can make for my family for dinner. I really appreciate the personal touch and how they take the time to make recommendations.
If you have a family, or even if you’re just shopping for yourself, this is definitely the place to go for good quality meat at affordable prices. You truly get more bang for your buck here without sacrificing quality. It’s a store I frequent often and will continue to support. Highly recommend!”
“Only place within a relative distance where many products can be found in the same place at the same time. They have some large sausage links that are out of this world and also carry beef suet.”
“I like Parkway..always nice and clean..However their prices are higher and higher..based on people using food benefits..However they are not thinking about cash paying customers.”
“They showed so much love there I will recommend the meat market to everyone good prices on all there meat you should really try them this is I first time ever writing a review that's how good they are”
“A+ service! Huge variety of meat, always fresh and reasonably priced! The staff is awesome — even when they’re super busy, they work fast and efficiently to accommodate every customer. Great experience every time!”
“It's a great neighborhood grocery store. Nice clean and have the products that U need to prepare your food. Check cashing, Money Order, Pharmacy. Nice employees too.”
“I love this market, but please make the meat selection look presentablel... chicken especially. Besides that it's the Bomb market♥️?????”
“With variety beef cuts being difficult to find, this is a MUST stop. Ronnie's is usually my spot for beef ribs, brisket etc. While Randy's is the everything you need sausage spot. Definitely a Detroit staple.”
