Another example of why we should buy local!What is ‘fair’ with a recent experience I had with Lake Country Meats, Alexandria.Background: I purchased a 5# prime rib in their plastic bag with seasoning.Issue: The plastic big melted during baking. I have baked a prime rib in a plastic bag at least 2O times in the last 6 years.Resolve: Butch, owner of Lake Country Meats called me today (No kidding- he goes by Butch!)The ‘bag’ is to prevent the meat from bleeding and to keep the seasoning from rubbing off. The bag is not meant to cook the meat in.Whoops! My bad.Butch offered to make me another 5# prime rib on December 19. Holy cow!This really exceeds any of my expectations. Buy local!!

Always get great service

Always enjoy going here. Fresh meats and if you cant find what you are looking for, just ask. They have even made different cuts for us than what they already had available!

The meat was very good!

First off, the smell of smoked meats hits ya as soon as you walk in, a smell that should be at any great smoke house. And, secondly, its a meat house. Whats not to like about that? Great selection and huge variety of different cuts of meats topped off with great service and sublime tasting flavors make this place one of the best meat houses in the Lakes Area.

Arbys doesnt have the meats, you do, oh great deli-house of the lord. If I were a king in the 15th century I would only request my fine meats from the finest store, which is you. Your steaks are sublime, oh deli-house of the lord. Your hamburgers make me happy, oh great deli-house of the lord. Someday, if my human entity ever gets married, it will be to you, oh the only deli-house of the lord. When I pray at night, I pray to you, oh great lord and savior Lake Country Meats. Amen.

No left overs!!! GREAT food, served in 3 roasters for our 3 day family gathering. Special ribs served at night was pure candy! Wife even bought thick sliced beef jerky when she dropped off the roasters. This place is heaven just walking into it! Smells great, tastes better!

Great locker

This place is the best place to get any meats in town! They also have minimal other groceries but this place is definitely the best place for steaks, brats, chicken, pork, or fish! I go here as often as possible!
