Reviews of Key's Family Butcher Shop (Butcher Shop)

Justin Martin

They always have great meat! We love it! :)

Shannon Salisbury

The absolute best place to get your processing done in the River Valley. Great people that sell great products especially if you grew up eating real beef that was not water filled Wally World gross. Highly recommend! Shannon

Yield concern...Delivered a 795 pound steer to be processed and was returned 206 pounds of meat making the yield 26%. I called Garners to get additional information and to be honest I felt they were more concerned with telling me how good they are and the number of years they have been in business instead of addressing the question. I am not an expert on this conversion and Garners didn't help so I spoke with several local ranchers and another butcher shop to understand it better. Our concern seemed to be true after talking with additional experts that we didn't get all of our meat, however they did admit that our yield would be lower since most of our steaks were without the bone and the size of the animal. In their opinion they feel we are short by 5 to 15% of our meat. I am disappointed to find out that a company I have been doing business with for 3+ years isn't being honest so they have lost my business going forward.

Been very good & helpful.

Garner meats is a quality business!

Steve Daniel

Picked up my whole 31 lbs of meat from a 3-4 year old Buck. Not even frozen! Don’t waste your money.

Perry Jones

Melanie and Roger are awesome; great service, competitive prices and very professional job. If there's going to only be one USDA processor on the western side of Ark, I'm very happy it's them... Highly recommend for beef and chickens (all we've taken to them)

Chad Miller

Friendly staff, large selection, delicious meat!

Matt Shotzman

Great quality work and friendly people. They have processed 3 deer for me this year alone and I will continue to bring all my processing here.

Christie Badeaux

Looking for great quality meat at an awesome price? Look no further. Hands down the best tasting meat I've had in a long time. Great service, too!

Cathy Nesbit

We get our deer meat processed here & it's always really really good. They are always nice to my husband when he brings the deer. When I went to pick it up for him once they weren't the friendliest folks, but they did help me carry it out. The quality of the processing is excellent.

Brianne Leonard

Started buying from Garner because it was one of the only places I could find grass-fed beef. Great steaks and chicken, good prices and friendly employees. Love that I am supporting local business/farmers.

Jeff rayburn White

Good meat,,very friendly people,,good price. They take the time to get to know their customer's

Anna McCauley

Best meat in town! If you're wanting to start buying local, grass-fed meat and are on a small budget, you need to start shopping here. The meat is affordable but high quality. The owners are kind and generous as well!

Cross Fields

This will be a confirmation of other complaints posted here. Experienced the same low yield and smelly rank meat. There is a problem. What is the fix? My family has stopped doing business with Garner. I only recognized the similarity of our situation with others and am sad to support negative comments but this may bring attention where it is needed.

Great place to get ur meat!!!

Osage Creek Farms

We love using Advanced Meats for our processing needs. We have been using them for about two years now and have brought them about 25 animals. They are very transparent with all of their processes and are open to answering questions. We have personally learned a lot from Roger over the years. He has continually worked with us to help us better understand different cut options on our animals in order to better serve our customers. We contribute some of the growth of our sales directly to his suggestions. We have used multiple processors over the last 5 years and in our experience Advanced Meats is the best processor around.

I have been a loyal customer for nearly 20 years.I purchased a prime rib from them for last christmas dinner, after fixing it the smell was rank and inedible. we returned the meat to them but to our dissmay they said it had to be due to our cooking. they refused to do anything. we left the hunk of meat on their counter. we still continued to purchase from them thinking it was just one instance. We purchase ground beef from them and wife started complaining again about the smell. I put it off and quit getting it from them. We purchase dog bones from them and the same smell, an acrid old meat smell to where my wife will only let me cook them for the dogs outside. we still continued because we loved the round steak we purchased. We prepared one tonight and the taste was arid. I have gave them multiple chances to provide a quality product, and still fails. I would not trust anything that is produced from this facility for consumption by people or animals.
