Great butcher with fresh meats and they also carry sides. I always get there peppered bacon it is the best if you cook it in the oven on a baking rack. I would also suggest grabbing a thing of their chocolate milk what is the best chocolate milk you’ll ever taste. They have meat bundles ranging anywhere from 35 to 250+ dollars you can also pick and choose whatever kind of meat you want. They have told me in the past that their ice cream is local and hand turned but I haven’t had a chance to try it. All their bison is sourced locally.

They have raw dog food pre packages and cut to 1 lb increments at a good price. They offer pork, beef, and chicken which is ideal so I can rotate the types of meat. What an amazing product to sell. My pup is so happy.

Great place for local farm fresh meats and a few small grocery items as well. All humane, certified and delicious! The staff are incredibly knowledgeable and friendly every single time I have visited, which is near weekly! This is the only place we go for our meats now.

TLDR: I only purchase meat from here & you should too.I grew up eating meat raised on my familys farm and I have lived in Denver for 5 years. I am SO happy to have FINALLY found a butcher shop the holds true to what theyre marketing. I can tell that this meat is definitely raised humanely, on high quality diets, & is sustainably focused. I have been sampling their different products & cuts before writing this review and have been supremely impressed by all products. I am especially happy with their bacon, sausage, and burger. Their prices are more than fair for the quality you receive, and it is a locally owned shop! Furthermore, eating local & sustainably raised meat, IMO (& based on science) is one of the greenest thing you can do for the environment. PLEASE support the type of world you want to live in.

I thought Id try this butcher awhile ago- as someone who was vegetarian for close to 20 years and not a big fan of meat for meats sake, I cook meat for the craft of it more than my personal consumption. Small amounts of high quality are what I need but this didnt give me the feeling Id be getting it. When I realized I was seeing a whole fresh section wrapped in plastic I noped out to my usual, out to Edwards.

Everyone is so friendly and helpful! We love different types of pork and game meat and this place has it all! Plus, the additional sundries they sell are unique and exciting-I live their mustards and can’t wait to try the Buffalo sauce I just bought. I will keep shopping here both to support local and due to their great selection and quality of meat!

I am not a big meat eater, but I come here for the amazing fresh eggs, occasional free range and local chicken, and best of all, Little Man icecream pints and icecream sandwiches. The customer service is excellent and you feel like you get to know the people who work there. This is a gem of a small business that everyone should support!

I love this place, but Im really upset. This is the second time in weeks they were not open during listed hours. Im upset that I have to eat subpar meat from that union store. But atleast I know the big box competitor will be ready to make sales during listed hours. Sucks but time is our most valuable resource. Please open on time. I want to shop there but I never know if you will be open on time. Thanks

I love this market. I will not buy my meats anywhere else. The pies are just to good! Everyone should try their meats at least once. The people are friendly and they dont rush you. This is my forever meat market.

We have shopped at this store for years. We believe in keeping the small business in business. But, really, aside from that, this is a great place to get your meat and poultry. I do find them helpful, and knowledgeable. AND I love that they give back to the community and the animals.

It’s hard to give a place a good rating when you can’t get in the door. We entered the store and were chased out, because it was 15 minutes before they opened. We waited the 15 minutes and stood in front of the store for an additional ten before we finally just gave up and left.

Ive just recently become a regular due to the suggestion of the owners of Bonnie Brae Lighting and Repair and couldnt be happier!! Best cuts of quality meats available.

Picked up a couple items from the wish ap here and the lady working the counter was very friendly. I bought a steak while there and sampled some bratwurst and the meat was excellent quality, very tasty wurst. The prices are a little bit higher than a supermarket(maybe a dollar more per lb for some things) but the quality is much better and youre supporting local businesses while getting better meat. I see some reviews here about the place smelling bad but it just had a general meat shop smell when I visited, not very unpleasant and completely expected from a meat shop.

Review №44

(By the way, these reviews average to a 3.8, not a 4.2.)We have been loyal customers for 40 years, now driving 40 miles to pick up large orders of meat ($500 range). The meat is top quality, and the butcher, Steve, could not be more wonderful. If it were for Steve and the quality of the product, I would rate this business a 5. Unfortunately, as several people have already mentioned, the owner, Francine, is so rude that I dont know if I can continue dealing with her. What a sad thing for a wonderful business to be purchased by someone whose customer service skills are nonexistent. I have NEVER done business with an owner who abuses her customers, which is what Francine does. After yelling at me for a few minutes when I tried to place my order with Steve, who doesnt abuse me, she hung up on me. Apparently, after reading these reviews, thats her MO. Can you even imagine a business owner hanging up on a customer? With her being the owner, what can one do? If its this bad for customers trying to deal with her, imagine what the poor employees go through. Francine clearly has some problems and I hope she can work them out without abusing her most loyal customers. Bullies should not have anything to do with customer service. THANKS STEVE!

Review №48

This butcher should be rated 5 across the board! We have been going to this butcher for over 10 years and their quality and pricing is far superior than any other grocer or meat market in the area. Friends of ours brought over steaks from Whole Foods the other night and the quality was very disappointing. Wheat Ridge Poultry & Meats quality is far superior. It was nice to know that we continue to make the right decision by purchasing our meats at this fine establishment.

Guy with a black cap and darker hair who served us was pretty rude and arrogant, came in on Sunday morning around ten for two fresh chickens. Wont come back simply for how rude he answered us when we asked simple questions (wed never been there before) and how arrogant he was. Maybe Consider having better customer service, especially for people from out of state.

Review №53

I wish I could give zero stars, but here we are. We have used WWPAM for years, but ever since the change in hands, its been so disappointing. We ordered a turkey for Thanksgiving, we picked it up and got it home and it was frozen 😑 these birds are supposed to be fresh and never frozen, per their guarantee. So we called them and the man on the phone was so rude! Insisted that they didnt sell us a frozen Turkey, but it was. Then he hung up on me! Just because I asked why it was frozen. It wouldnt be a big deal, but this is a specialty meat market and its not cheap. If I wanted a gmo frozen bird, Id go to Walmart. Please be aware of the products, thats all.

Really good selection and reasonable prices. I wish the items in their freezer section was better labeled-a lot of stuff has either no item description, or price, so its a lot of guessing. Great quality, and everyone there really hustles.

Review №56

Prices comparable to grocery store. Meat tastes sooo much better. Beef is not organic but doesnt have any hormones or antibiotics, cant beet it for the price. Never had a problem with their services either. Generally friendly, clearly has occasional off days but never been rude or used inappropriate language when I have been there. Only hope I can find somewhere comparable if we end up moving to CA.

Review №57

Super friendly staff, and excellent quality offerings. I last went here for a brisket. They worked with me, going through all their fresh cuts asking what my plan was, and we together found a perfect piece for the smoker and it turned out incredible. Ive smoked dozens of CostCo briskets, and theyre usually pretty tasty. CostCo has excellent meat selections, overall. But the offerings at this neighborhood shop are marvelous, high-quality, and fairly priced.

This is where I buy nearly all my meat now; they have every cut, and if it isnt out for sale, it can be if you ask. They go out of their way to accommodate their customers needs, and offer great prices on top-notch stuff. Best lamb ribs Ive had, unbeatable meats for smoking and grilling, and fantastic eggs.

Went in here the other day and it smelled like spoiled meat inside, it was hard to breath. Bought a good steak, but the little man ice cream pint we bought was spoiled and definitely not the salted Oreo flavor we thought we were buying. Not sure if it was a freezer issue or little man’s fault... not a very pleasant experience all around.

** edit on October 25 2018 *** I went in yesterday on the 24th to see if there were any center bones for my pups, and the gentleman behind the counter was super quick to get us out of there, mind you he sees me pretty frequently! He was rude when I went to ask him simple questions he threw back pretty quick and snarky remarks and as I turned around i caught him rolling his eyes at me.. .. My five star rating has now dropped to a 1 star rating.... This might possibly be the last time we frequent here not cool with how quickly customer service went out the door....**Old review ---> This place is incredible!! Not only do they cater to my meat needs, they also cater to my little pups!!!! I absolutely adore the staff here and I will continue to keep coming back!!!

The place smells awful. Something rancid is going on. Of course they act like they’re doing you a favor and like you put them out when you want something, and roll their eyes when you try to pay them. This was the last straw though.YUK, the smell. I was considering giving them one more try as i left with my chuck roast and milk. The next morning I open my roast up to put it in the crock pot and IT’S GREEN! Later, I open the milk for my cereal. OMG awful! It was SOLID! It still doesn’t expire for two weeks.

In the summer of 2012 I joined a meat co-op and have picked up my order from here as well as purchase other meat from this establishment for the past year. My family loves the quality of the meat and my husband and I love the prices. Although I can tell that the workers are understandably frazzled when there are ten to fifteen co-op women there for pick-ups along with other customers, I have never seen anyone act unprofessionally or rudely. They have always kind, patient, helpful, and courteous. Twice my order was not right and each time they went out of their way to make up for the errors. I only wish I lived closer. Thanks, Wheat Ridge Poultry & Meat! :)

Now that the new owners took over, this place has gone to hell. We only stopped by because we were close and wanted to get some hamburger. Boy, what a mistake. Filthy, rude, unprofessional, saw I think the new owner pick his nose wiped it on his plants and grabbed two steaks for a customer with out washing his hands. I could not get out of there fast enough. Please, Steve and Francene buy the place back and send the new owners out of town on a rail. The way this place has gone down hill, I bet you can get it back for a penny on the dollar you sold it to them for. I cant believe what they have done to your good name.

I have been using Rocky Mountain for 8 years, and it has not been the same since the parents retired. The service has been terrible, the attitude of the staff is arrogant and dismissive as if the customers are bothering them. This past year, I understand that they had a fire and lost freezers, smokers, and storage, and I am sorry for this, but it does not excuse treating thier customers with disrespect. Even if I was to disregard this matter, there is no excuse for processing my order wrong 2 years in a row. I will never use them again.

First time here. Really enjoyed the meat and plan to get more from there. When I went on to review it, I was so so so sad to read the reviews about the owner and about the swearing about vets.

The meat is fantastic, but the sanitation is horrendous. The last two times I visited they took my card, ran it and then handed it back to me wearing the same gloves they used to handle the meat I bought. There was meat liquid on my card, on the pen they handed me to sign with, and on my receipt.

Stopped in this place today to drop off our Elk. One of the employees started cussing about a drop off they received from a federal agent. All of us in line could overhear this unprofessionalism and started talking about how unprofessional it was. Most of us stayed in the line until he said F the feds and F the military. Several of us standing in line were Vets and overheard him say this during his 10 minute tirade. A guy in line spoke up and asked him to please stop cussing and that many of us were Vets in line. He said F you, you can leave then. So several of us in line did just that and took our business elsewhere...... Between the 10 minute cussing session in front of customers, saying F the military while Vets were in line wearing military shirts and then telling us to go elsewhere after confronting him if I were you I would avoid this place!! Very rude and unprofessional!
