| - I just love going here. Upon arrival, I'm greeted by friendly staff and an opened door - every time, which is so rare these days! The staff are fantastic, and often carry the bag to my car for me. I just had to mention this fact, because The Meat House delivers a top-notch experience from beginning to end, and the customer service means a lot, especially when you're spending a little more for the great product.
OK, now that I've covered their excellent customer service, I must address their reason for being: the meat. Holy smokes, is it good! Every cut, every preparation of meat I've purchased has been delicious. It is always exceedingly fresh and beautifully presented in the case. My favorites include:
- Chicken breasts: these are the best chicken breasts I've ever had. I love the pre-marinaded varieties, my favorites are the meat house marinade and the lemon pepper. My son loves the sweet BBQ.
- Wise Guy Roll: OMG you just have to try it. But when you do, be sure to prepare it as follows... Sear both sides in a hot pan with some olive oil and a touch of butter. Put it in a baking dish and cover with diced tomatoes. Bake in the oven at 350 for about 15 minutes, or until you've reached your desired doneness. The provolone and italian meats release their amazing flavor, combine with the tomatoes, and it makes a delicious, unique dish that you will absolutely love.
- Steaks: buy the best you can afford, but know that their least expensive cuts are excellent so you don't "have" to spend more for the prime.
-Steak tips: We have these weekly! The burgundy wine steak tips were the first red meat my 8-year-old every liked, and he begs me to cook it for him. You don't need to upgrade to the tenderloin variety, the regular ones are just perfect.
Beyond the meat counter, you will find so many wonderful delights and treats. They regularly have local chefs and business owners in offering free tastings, anything from cheeses to wines to sweets. I love that they support local businesses by carrying their products. Most recently, they started offering Lakeview Farms' fresh, local, organic dairy products, which, if you've never tried it - you MUST. Their half and half will change your morning coffee routine forever.
They have a wonderful, carefully honed wine selection, and a variety of cheeses, crackers, freshly baked breads and more. They also carry fresh pastas and sauces from Pasta and Provisions, so you don't have to make the drive all the way up Providence when you're in the mood to cook some fresh pasta! They also carry growlers from OMB Brewery of Charlotte, another MUST TRY! You can even score some raw bones for your pooches at The Meat House, which will occupy him/her for hours so that you can enjoy your Meat House dinner perfection in peace. : )
Long story short, if you are a foodie or a fan of high-quality food products, you will not be disappointed in The Meat House. Don't be turned off by the fear of higher prices, because it is truly worth every penny (and completely on par with prices at The Fresh Market or Earth Fare). The Meat House is an excellent business with great employees, a superior product offering and tremendously loyal fans, not to mention their support of other local businesses that makes them #1 in my book. Just try it out for yourself, and you'll see what I mean!
