Hunters Beware,These guys are NOT prepared to process deer. they are short staffed and no one wants to work for them as they did hire some guys and some walked off after a day.I took my deer in during Bow season during 3rd week of October 2023 and I was quoted 7 days. On the 8th day I called and was told it was not ready???I then asked why and some younger rude A H*le said it will be now 14 days. I said I was told 7 days. He said I was misquoted and their standard is 10-14 days and it’s going to be all of the 14 days. I said if I was told that upfront I would’ve taken my deer elsewhere. He basically said tough n arguing wasn’t going to change it. I said if you are not going to honor what you quoted then I will pick up my deer meat as it was only skinned n quartered at this point and I would finish it myself and he said I would still have to pay the full price of the $190 processing fee even though it wasn’t done. He was rude, and argumentative. I said that was wrong and he said he wouldnt release my meat unless I paid in full. I said I’m willing to pay for the skinning and the quartering and he said full price. So he was holding my meat as blackmail.I felt very uneasy about having my meat sit in their cooler for 2 weeks. Never experienced that before? I don’t leave meat I buy in a store sit in my fridge for 2 weeks as it will go bad n I’m sure others don’t either.They then call me the next day and tell me to pick up. (Which I did appreciate them doing vs waiting til 14 days) They didn’t complete the order and told me to take it away. So after 9 days of waiting I still got to deal with the incomplete meat. ( which they meant it to be jerks but it turned out to be a blessing for me instead)I also got the least amount of meat back from a processor that I’ve ever seen?If they can’t process deer in a timely fashion n take 2 weeks during bow season imagine what gun season is going to be like? In my opinion one’s meat is going to rot waiting for them to do it as rifle season is 10x busier than bow.No wonder they can’t get any help because in my opinion they suck!Also just a heads up I was going to get them to make summer sausage out of some of my meat. They told me 4-6 weeks until that comes back. I got that part of my meat back which was 10lbs and took it to another processor and he said less than a week for my summer sausage, which is normal from all my experience at other places. 6 weeks to make summer sausage??Hell that’s just In time for New Year’s Eve??? I’ve taken a deer in during rifle and not bow like this at other places and have my sausage back by thanksgiving.Only Good thing that’s come out of this is that I now found a different high quality processor that has normal processing times and I will be eating my summer sausage instead of it sitting in their cooler for the next 6 weeks so that’s the best part of them giving me my meat back,The other place had plenty of staff there when I dropped off my meat also fyi….I’m going to be eating my summer sausage next week vs it sitting with these guys for the next 6 weeks.And yes the new place only uses your own meat when they make the sausage. This place said same thing to justify why it takes up to 6 weeks to make it. So don’t be fooled when they tell u that. Other places do the same but in way less time fyi…In due fairness to these guys what Little meat I did get back as I only wanted the backstraps and steaks and the rest hamburger and I mean I only got about half back from what I thought i should have, it was processed properly with no silver skin and packaged good.But I will never be back there again.So whatever date range they tell you it will be the later side of the range 100%. So if they say 10-14 days. Count on 14-16 days as they are short staffed.If you’re good with waiting this long for your meat and to come in light then In due fairness to them you will be fine.

Sportmen Beware!A friend of mine was successful during this year's Bear Hunt. Immediately after it was harvested, it was packed with ice, and taken to the processor about 16 hours later. when the processor received the bear, they removed the still half full bags of ice from the body cavity, and placed the bear on a cart, which was parked outside between 2 vehicles. it was assumed they would properly handle it right away.Upon arriving to pick up the finished product, my friend was told that most of the meat had gone bad, and they just wanted to throw it away. they produced 50 lbs of meat from a 250 lb bear. Half of the meat provided was confirmed to be bad, and was marked accordingly. The hide was not handled as promised, and started to rot. They were specifically told that all the fat was to be saved, but they did not, saying that it was not requested, even though it was written down. the final bill was 300, when 250 was the original quote.Based on extensive experience with wild game, myself and others agree that the meat would not have gone bad prior to being taken to the processor. The most likely scenario is that it was not kept cool for an extended period of time. While likely not intentional, their attempt to cover up their mistake, by not providing what was requested, or any evidence to support their claim that is was bad when they received it, further call into question their integrity. If it was bad upon receipt, a reputable business would have been in immediate contact to discuss options.I would recommend any sportsmen to look elsewhere for meat processing.

Idk who has been making the the tuna salad here but it’s absolutely disgusting now, literally no tuna, and an excessive amount of mayonnaise. Prices look like they have doubled. Been coming here for a while now but am officially gonna have to call it quits. The excessive mayonnaise did it for me.

Second time I ordered fresh kielbasa and they sold it to someone else they said.the whole point of ordering it a week early is to get it I don't know how anyone can stay in business this way.because of this you lost a faithful customer I'll go elsewhere where I know I will get what I ordered.

This is a must stop for homemade hotdogs and jerky's. It's in a very small village of Karlin. Everytime I go back to visit family this is a must. They also do meat processing and sell convenience store items too.
