Will not return to this location! The girl behind the counter didnt have any customer service skills; she did her job but simply wasnt friendly or eager to serve. While waiting for the butcher to grind up some pork, and then to cut a $40 English roast for me, rather than ask me what else I needed during each waiting period, she disappeared until the items were ready and THEN continued with my order. I got the feeling that she didnt want to be there and did the absolute bare minimum to get by. The prices were crazy high; I expect I would have been less annoyed by the lack of customer service had I not been in the process of spending a small fortune for very little food. Once my order was filled, I never even got a thank-you. I went to the cash register and waited a couple minutes for a lady to arrive. There was no apology for the wait but she seemed pleasant, rang up my order, handed me the receipt for $152, smiled and told me to have a nice day. I responded with Youre welcome. and turned around and walked away. She called out to me Didnt I say thank you? I turned my head and replied No.. And that was it ... she still didnt say thank-you. LOL!
Everything about this place is awesome. Except their store hours. Most people dont get off work till 5 or close to that. And every location closes at 7pm...
Great friendly staff who are always willing to help.
Quick service, very clean, and sales clerk was very polite. Just sticker shock!
Really good prices, typically a good selection, staff is friendly. What more could you ask for?
If you need meat, then this is a great stop for a huge selection and fair pricing. In and out with what I needed in under 10 minutes. Almost bought my doggos a couple frozen dog bones too.... But they wouldnt have appreciated the quality 😂
Went into this store with my fiance and asked for stuffed chicken and the boy behind the counter started making extremely rude comments publicly humiliating us. Saying for the whole store to hear that we didnt want stuffing in July and even making fun of my fiances shirt. We will never be back to this location as it was completely uncalled for, unprofessional, and straight up rude.
It was just OkayStaff Very Friendly 💯
Great selection for our hobo Stew
Love this place, the staff is always helpful and courteous. My favorite candy store to shop.
I placed an online order for curbside pickup as I normally do. Picked up at designated time and was gone with my order (which they placed in car for me). When I started to make dinner I realized I was given the wrong product in error. I called the store and they were very courteous and accommodating. They told me that they couldn’t take the product back, for obvious reasons), but that I could come back and pick up the correct product. I left right away and upon arrival was greeted with a smile as well as given an extra pound of product for the inconvenience. Their selection is always fresh, available and full of flavor. I would recommend House of Meats on Holland Sylvania for all of your bbq, chilly rainy Sunday and special occasion needs!
The reason behind the 5 stars is due to an employee at the Alexis location by the name of Charles. I purchased a chuck roast from the Holland Sylvania location. When I was attempting to prep it, I noticed the color was dark and it had a smell. I returned it to the store to get another one. The manager at that location seemed irritated and gave me another roast. When I got to the car, I opened it up and that new roast had a smell. I went to the Alexis location and I told Charles about the situation. He took care of the situation and he was genuinely concerned. I am a Private Chef, and I purchase 95% of my meat from H.O.M. I truly appreciate him and I will not shop at the other location anymore
Best meats in town. The meatloaf is delicious and ready made. Kielbasa beats all in Toledo.
100 year old Polish Recipe - 2lbs boneless pork ribs or chop. 2-1/2-3 lbs kielbasa 1 pound thick cut smoked bacon uncooked..2 pack sauerkraut slightly rinsed. 2 bay leaves optional. Enough chc broth to cover.Do not ! cut pork or kielbasa arrange in crockpot cover with kraut salt pepper..Cook slow 6-7 hours ..mix well serveYour life will never be the same. All HOF meat P.s -- you can put 1 carrot cut and potatoes cut on top 1 hour before done if you have room. God bless
Always courteous and friendly. Love seeing the weekly sales. Plus they are knowledgeable about serving sizes and how much to buy.
Awesome service and great friendly employees
Best prices and quality butcher in the Toledo area.
When things go well, best meat on this side of town. When you have an issue, however, dont expect any customer support. Our family of three has spent over $750.00 in the last twelve months at HoM. Had a seasoning mix up on barbecue ribs (apparently, the house seasoning is different than the house barbecue), and were refused replacement. The Manager decided the no refunds sign on the door (where? With all the ads and other signage posted, nobody sees it) was more important than making a client happy over $10-15.00 (our cost, not theirs - what, $4.00-7.00?). Would have cost them less than what they paid the Manager to argue over it.So now this growing family will be looking at other options, even though we literally live less than 3 minutes away. Not worth shopping at a place where they make it clear that only your dollars spent at the cash register matter, not your satisfaction.The apathy and blatant rudeness was what really prompted this book. I had never spoken to a Manager at any other establishment that insinuated I was an idiot for not knowing the difference in their selections. Youre the one that messed up should never be said to a paying customer when it comes down to something like this.So now you have four paragraphs of negativity over what cost me less than $20. THAT should tell you how disrespected and put down I felt talking to your Manager.
Local, great variety of meats, sea food and ready prepared fresh for oven or pan. Individualized service. Just ask.
I love this meat market they are friendly and have good prices and great meat
Clean nice people great food nice prices
Nice and friendly service! Love stopping in after work
Good fast service and great quality meats
The place as well there employees are awesome. Never had a problem with getting what I wanted. I have recommended this place, an always will. Keep up the great work among these trying times...
Always a great place for quality meats. The customer service is always fantastic and the prices are fairly reasonable. This is always my first stop for my dinner needs.
I always recieve great service when Im here. I was here today and Rebecca was very helpful and sweet. Thank you Rebecca because my dog and I are spending Thanksgiving alone,,,but you helped plan our dinner and didnt even know! Oh this is the Holland/Sylvania location
The staff was very nice. They are knowledgeable and give you time to make your decision
Always pleasant to shop there especially when the price is reduced a d the workers are helpful
Cant go wrong at any butcher shop if you know what youre looking for, and if you dont just ask
Wide selection and courteous staff.
Ive always purchased my meat from House of Meats. Their quality is unbeatable. Their knowledge is comprehensive. And theyre always willing to answer your questions and suggest recipes. And their prices are competitive. The Old Tyme butcher shop lives on at House of Meats.
Always a good experience
The best meats. Friendly employees. I have been shopping at house of meats for 40 years. I received an air fryer for Christmas. Wanted to learn how to make beef jerky. The staff was very knowledgeable on which meats to choose and gave me some tips. I recently bought a family pk. I Realized a week later they forgot to put my ground chuck patties in my pk. I went back to the meat market and the manager gave me my ground chuck patties. I was impressed no questions asked. Kroger meats cant compare to your meats. You have the best staff working for you also. They are willing to help. You dont get that from a grocery store. I have one negative tho. Years ago k&j use to make their own barbecue sauce I really miss that. The best barbecue sauce. Please bring it back.
Everyone one their is much appreciated! The meat and service are wonderful. Thanks!
I have never had a bad experience here. The employees are quick to help and offer great suggestions on how to prepare specific cuts of meat. The selection of meats is top notch. I would be surprised to learn if something was unavailable.
It’s a great place to buy good quality meat at a decent price. Also you can get marinated, seasoned chicken breasts and steaks that are awesome, especially on the grill.
The place is pretty nice but wont try them again. Got 2 cuts of prime rib and got more fat than actual meat on both cuts.
The team and store on holland sylvania rd is outstanding! Always professional and they treat my wife and i well...i would definitely recommend this store to anyone
Amazing selection and service. I am so excited to make dinner tonight!
AMAZING cheese bacon stuffed mushrooms 🤤
Had everything i was looking for. I would recommend a more refined beer selection.
Good service friendly
Great Staff.Good service.Great Meat selection.Love shopping there !!!
AWESOME STEAKS,GREAT SERVICE!
Always the best steaks in town
Good meat at great prices. Helpful, friendly staff.
I needed a package with minimal amounts of pork, but for a lot of people to split. Thanks to the excellent service of the store (letting me make some substitutions on the package I purchased) and the outstanding patience of MANDY for helping me today we were able to get a ton of beef products and also get a Colorado roast (family favorite) for a very fair amount of money. You have a life long customer now due to the amazingly easy, polite, and quick service that my family received today. So, a huge thanks to the staff and owners is in order. Thank you! 😁
Meats are always fresh....and employees are always helpful and friendly.
Nice clean place with nice employees
Quick fast service. In and out no bxxlshxt
Friendly staff, busy but plenty of help, good deals.
Love this place! And especially this location due to lovely employees that are so kind and really interact with you to fully understand your needs and preferences when picking meats. Always friendly at the cash register too making small talk and even cooking suggestions at times. Ive been going to K&J house of meats for over 25 years. They have NEVER disapointed. The selection & variety exceeds most if not all other meat markets Ive been to over the years. K&J house of meats even has great saving offers they can text and email to you, offering free select foods with $25 purchase, which can come weekly or even in a flash 1 or 2 sale. Today I happened to get 2lbs of ground chicken for free with my purchase (that is nearly $8 in free ground chicken!) Using my text message coupon they sent. I really like that they package the meats in brown paper (Im just weird like that lol). And the smell as you walk into the store is just amazing! Also the cashiers have been known to hand little ones a cookie or other treat (With the parents permission of course). 😉😍
The meats are always good but they are just as expensive as walmart and kroger.
They basically wanted us to leave because we asked them to put a family pack together. And I waited over 15 minutes for someone to get me just a pound of catfish. I do not know what happened because this used to be the best house of meats. But bad customer service can ruin the whole experience of a store. Please find out whats going on with your staff. Very unappreciative
Went in today and bought 2 new york strip steaks...everything was great. Also bought 2 bacon wrapped tenderloins...was very confused when I had cut one in half (and it was pieced together like stew meat???) Wish I was able to post the pic of it just for reference..) another sidenote..only reason I had cut in half was to cook it for my dogs. Just so people dont question me as to why I cut it in half...very disappointed since they are 4.99 each
While waiting on my meat one of the meat counter people a young skinny white boy with glasses was refilling grouper in the meat display with one glove on a one off touching the fish with bare hands during corina virus i spoke with the manager and told her what i saw she said she would talk to him i guess she did but she left the contaminated meat on display she must have thought i was gone i seen her look at it like she was gone temove it but didnt
This was our first time there. The workers were pleasant and they ran things how they are suppose to for these times of covid 19
Very Friendly and helpful staff. Great looking meat choices, reasonably priced. Living in Kentucky now and stop by LWs whenever Im in town ❤️😍
2 stars for good meat. No more stars the service at this store is awful. Calling in an order or stopping in is terrible, its a waiting game. There is no shortage of folks working who are not waiting on customers. Not sure what the priories are for this particular store. If there are options to get butcher shop meats elsewhere I would suggest that option before going to this K&J. These guys are too slow and not very customer orientated. Not all the K&J stores are the same. Had great service at other K&J locations.
Great place to shop! Ive been going here for years!
All the staff is friendly. There is hardly ever a wait at this location. Love the meat boxes! We come here at least once a month to buy a meat box. Great prices and love the coupons!
Want to thank everyone at the N. Holland and sylvania store for the best Thanksgiving day meal! I would recommend this store to anyone in the area! Marybeth with great you like family when she waits on you!
Love the selection
I love this place. I great all my meat for my meals here at this location. Between the deals on the boxes of meats and meals and the sales you have on your food. I love the buy 10 & get the 11th for free ! I buy steaks buy the 10s :).
Really good service and helpful people and the food is sooo good
Mike very helpful. He was a very upbeat guy. Nice to see someone so happy @ work.
Fantastic staff. Great prices and oh so fresh. We purchase all of our meats here and always will.
Very helpful people. pricing is very good. no complaints. helps to know what you want before going in.
Wonderful staff! Great product! Reasonable prices!
Good workers friendly
Great service, able counter people, nice customers! Go at odd times for fastest service; popular market occasionally long wait times!
Always find what I want
I just visited your store at 5:30 this evening (12/31/18). There were 4-5 employees just standing around talking. There were several customers waiting to be waited on. Finally an older woman ...one of your employees.... started calling everybodys names to get them to help the customers...she had to call them three times just to get them to listen to her to serve the customers. Then when I went to cash out the cashier was not there. Waited, waited...walaa... she was outside in the parking lot...uh why? What a terrible way to run a business. I noticed much of your staff are younger than typical. I remember coming in when there was older staff that would be ready and willing to help you as soon as you walked in the door. I really should have just left. Why bother to shop at your store when your employees would rather chit chat then help customers.
Best place in Lucas Co to purchase high quality grass feed beef! Friendly staff, great prices and small store atmosphere make this place a winner!
When I want to grill at home with a 5 star quality this is it. Honestly they shouldnt need a good review but if you buy meats at a chain store you dont know how good a cookout can get.
Service is good, the place is clean, the people are friendly, and they put up with my wierdo meat special orders.😀
Great place to get good fresh meats. Thanks to all who make it go...especially Diane @ checkout!!!
Great quality meats and super friendly service
Always high quality meats, great courteous sales people.
Very friendly and helpful! Great meats at a reasonable price.
The best selection of meats the most tender and juicy rib-eye in town and they have a great little things to go with your meals
Great service and friendly staff. Homey atmosphere have gone there for a long time.
If you are a person of color or anything other than pure white do not patronize this store the older white boy at the cash register snatch my car out my hand and gave it back to me when I have my hand out on the counter did not place it in my hand gave me my receipt and did not place it in my hand did not look me in my face one time seem like he had an attitude I called and told the manager she tried to rush me off the phone but she did Apologize
Everything was fresh. Good service!
To many people, no able to practice self distancing.
Use 2 work at smitty meats years ago. Never been 2 the new 1. It was ok. But looking at the reviews of this place. I dont no. Some bad complains. Not good. I highly recommend Kilgus meats. No complaints. There a 5 star all the way down. Trust me u wont b disappointed. I go there all the time. An the meat is better every time. Check it out someday. Yull love it!!
Walk right in an I was served with no wait time
If thay do not have the cut in the case they will cut it for you, or even run a special flaver marinade if thy do not have a bach made up.
Excellent and thank you.
Get VIP coupons . Shop here often. Clean, helpful people
Great selection of meat. Good deals
Their meats are generally very good, and you can call ahead for specialty cuts. The folks are friendly too.
My favorite place to buy meat, you simply cannot beat the prices and the quality is way above what you can get at the major grocery stores. The staff is also knowledgeable and friendly.
Friendly employees who remember returning customers. Great local alternative to buying meat from big grocery stores
Very friendly helpful good prices
Awesome steaks
Always Good Service, Good Meat!
Great sevice, great selection, Ill always come back.
