Reviews of Lange's Old Fashion Meat Market (Butcher Shop)

Michelle D

If I could give one star for customer service I would. I doubt that other customers would enjoy being screamed at in the parking lot. What a ridiculous encounter. I will never visit this establishment and I will be sure to tell anyone else not to come here either.

Regular and hot meat sticks are a big hit with my husband. Whenever family from MC visit us, they always bring a bag of each. We tried the jerky at the West Side Market in Cleveland and it wasn’t as good as this place.

Jess Phillips

This place is amazing. The owner is incredibly friendly and kind. We purchased a beautiful cut of steak and a bunch of their homemade jerkey (try the Apple flavor)! We were so happy to find this place

George Stein

Best Butcher Shop in America. Pete and Karl are a real treasure. Great meat, Great sausage, beef sticks, steaks, chops, and jerky!

The owner is a terrific guy with a super memory. I call every so often from out of town to order items and he always remembers my name. If you want the best "beef jerky" around, stop in and shop this place. This is more of a gourmet jerky store and worth every penny. Thanks Lange's!!!!

Absolutely amazing first experience! The moment we walked into the store owner gave us some free samples but was very friendly, humorous and upbeat, the inside setup was very interesting like an antique shop. The Meats were - Delicious!!! 100% will come back again!!!

Some of the best tasting meat I've ever tasted

Just a block from the premium outlets, Lange's is my new favorite place for smoked meats. The place is great, Pete is enthusiastic about his craft, and his offerings are mouth-wateringly good. I found it via Google looking to buy some jerky. Pete let me sample a couple of items and I left with packages of his original smoked beef (not quite jerky), a pound of his spicy beef jerky beef, and a pound of his bourbon beef jerky. Had I more money or mouths to feed, I would have also bought the smoked pork I sampled. My wife and friends (and I) devoured my entire purchase later that day so I will be back soon. BTW, the decor and display cases are crazy fun.

Great meat, friendly service.

Sean Lawrence

Love the smoked meats, the conversation and classic atmosphere.

Scott Baker

This was my first experience with Lange's meat market. I can only describe the interaction as incredible and epic. I am a very particular customer, I called and asked if he had prime grade ribeye which is pretty rare. He happened to have some on hand. I asked him how the marbling was? He texted me the attached picture with in 2 minutes so I could review the marbling and see if it was to my liking. Upon entering the amazing establishment, I couldn't help but yell "Merica". Peter runs a great business and I will certainly be back for more. He is very knowledgeable about beef as well as a very jovial likeable guy. I wouldn't hesitate to take him on a Pegasus for a ride over a rainbow with American flags and bald eagles escorting us shouting 'Merica for beef!

Bring cash. While trying to pay with card was given more then I had asked for and over charged from previous visits due to paying with card.

Steve Wavrin

I travel all over the country for my job and I always check out local meat markets. Lange's is one of my favorites. I spent probably an hour there chatting about sausage and many other topics. It was an awesome experience. I hope to get back there.

best jerk ever

Dana Goodman

Worth the stop if you are on I-94 going by Michigan City Indiana! Great choice of beef sticks, jerky, ribs, steaks and other meats! Great service today Karl! Missed seeing you Pete!

Mark Tescari

Pete is the only reason I go to Michigan City! Anything less than 5 star rating and the person doing the rating is a moron!

Pete Lange is a true craftsman of his trade !!! Lange's is an authentic old fashioned butcher shop offering top notch meats and excellent service !!!! You will leave happy and feeling like part of the family !!!

Tony Heiser

Awesome owners! Great selection really nice shop!

charlotte palczynski

First off. I popped in randomly from a trip to the dunes, right off they hand you a sample of an AMAZING meat stick. Second, they have a great variety of beef jerky. Everything tastes so great. If I lived in the area I’d be a regular customer. Highly recommend.

Jeanne Iovinelli

Delicious smoked meats and nice specials on steaks. We always hit this place when we're in town.

Juanita Mcconnell

I enjoy Pete 's good conversation and great meats.

Dorinda Belanger

Great owner, great conversations and absolutely the finest meats available. We always make Pete's place our goal when we are in Michigan City, heck we make a special trip just for that destination, definitely worth the time and money

Andrew Neal

best smoked meat and shrimp around. Pete has amazing products and stories.

laura roth

I drove from Chicago today after having memorable steak from here last year! Is all l could think about. I will take the 120 Mille drive to get steaks here again!!!

Nathan Gardner

Wonderful service in a great atmosphere. Very old fashioned setting. Good quality meat.

Marc Dunker

Went there because they advertised jerky in their window and asked for samples. I guess they typically don't offer samples like most places that sell jerky from the way the guy got oneness about it. Instead of saying so, he kept on throwing one-liners like, "or you could just buy some.", etc. Then he pulled some links off the shelf in satirical way. His demeanor was like, "Here! Have more stuff that you're not going to pay for." We didn't even ask for those. Feeling bad, I bought a few pieces of jerky but wish I hadn't. It was the hardest, driest jerky I've ever had. The guy even made a fuss when I tried to use a debit card and didn't have $6 on me. He tried you tell me it's a $20 minimum on card. Bottom line: if handing out samples isn't your business model, SAY SO! Don't shame your customers because they didn't know. I could've respected that. My family enjoys trying out different flavors of jerky and buying our favorite. Every place we've went that sells it has offered samples. We assumed Lange's was the same way.

Worth the detour off the highway for fresh meat for the weekend grill! Owner is a friendly laid back dude. We'll be stopping here again!

Kevin Dush

Outstanding, friendly service, great meat, we were just passing through and lucked or finding lanes Lange's. Highly recommend!

Amanda Hawkins

My husband and I have been buying meats and jerky from Lange's since 2013. The quality and taste is unsurpassed and if you ever stop by, make sure you try is the apple jerky, it's the best tasting jerky we've ever had!

Stopped in here yesterday and had a great time. Pete, the owner, wasted no time giving us samples of everything, including some Yuengling to cleanse our palates between bites. Favorites were landjager and apple jerky. Landjager smoked to perfection and apple jerky you could taste the apple juice and blended perfectly with the other spices. He threw in a couple of snack sticks for the road and gave us directions for avoiding Sunday night traffic back to the city. (US-20, which we knew about, but nice he gave us some local tips!)

Davisons ButcherSupply

I am just a vendor. But I really like doing business with them. Very nice people :)

Leighton Smith

I Spoke with owner about the possibility of having him butcher my meat and he was extremely rude and not respectful what so ever. There is no sense of “old fashion” politeness or respect at all from this establishment. I will be taking my business elsewhere and I certainly hope that this review either helps him keep his attitude in check or allows others to dodge an extremely bad experience.

Hide And-Seek II

We have been to this market for smoked meats on several occasions. Every time we have been greeted with friendly service and delicious meats. Small family run operation. We will be visiting again.

Positively the Best.
