Best beef sticks in the world We had a meat market in alexandria “The Big Gallon” It closed many years ago but their GUN SLINGER beef sticks had A very similar flavor except they had jalapeño peppers in them

Eric Coash

Great customer service, and the quality of meat is great. I won't get meat anywhere but here.

Everything at this place is sooooo good. Their stew meat is the best, their snacks like string cheese, happy sticks and jerky is hands down the best of anywhere. Hamburger is awesome. Its the only place we go get meat and have for years. Ben eating meat from this place for at least 25 years. The price is good and hope they don't charge a thing.

What can I say about their Happy Sticks, home made hot dogs, and smoked string cheese? They're the best! And so is everybody that works there.

Fantastic meat market! Stopped by to stock up on sliced cheeses - swiss, super hot, havarti dill, cojack - smoked cheese sticks, sliced ham, smoked ham and fresh herring. Looking forward to enjoying these tasty and reasonably priced favorites! Check the hours to be sure they are open and allow some time for the line tended to by the friendly and helpful staff while enjoying the rich aromas in this Main Street shop.

Wow this has to be the "Best Family Owned and Run Meat Market in America"! Bob & Mary carry on the multi generational family traditions of this long time family owned business. They have a Wonderful Staff that is always happy to see and help us! All of their Meats are Fresh Cut every day! They are always happy to help you with special orders too! Their Steaks Just Can't Be Beat! They are happy to cut steaks to order if you like them Thicker. A Special Note for Hunting, Camping, or Road Trips: Their String Cheese, Happy Sticks, Beef Jerky and Hard Salami are the Best you can find anywhere! Your family will love this place! Be sure to look in their cooler and try the **** "Hank's Gourmet Root Beer, Orange Pop and Cream Soda's"!!! **** WOW do they ever go Great with the Happy Sticks, String Cheese & Out of this world Beef Jerky! Once you try them, you'll be hooked for life! (-:)

You just expect places to be open at noon on a Wednesday. I have tried multiple times to go to this shop but it is never open. A business that is only open 3 days a week cant expect much business or customer loyalty. Afraid i am done trying.

We've been going to Elk River Meats for 10+ years for steaks, bacon, and burgers. The staff and food quality is always great. I enjoy supporting this small business and bringing my kids to get "happy sticks", string cheese and root beer.

They make some delicious beef sticks called happy sticks, also sell smoked string cheese. Bought some polish sausage links which are smoked. Just have to heat and eat.

Ben Bauman

Elk River Meats is an amazing store. The quality of the product is unsurpassed. The store hours which are posted here along with the many positive reviews from people who have actually shopped there let you know that the secret is its so good you will make sure you get there when its open.

Great meat selection and a very fun environment. They know 90% of the customers by name. It's like a bug family. I've had to wait for 30 minutes at times but it is so fun you don't mind.

Great prices for phenomal quality. It feels like stepping back 50 years in time. Customer service and quality is number one. I have tried just about everything there and it is all better than you can get at any grocery store. For a treat try the jerky. It is unlike any other that I have had.

Neale Haugen

I come here all the time! The meat is from local sources, and the quality is out of this world! Sometimes I go there just for the delicious smell of smoked meat. You've gotta try the smoked pork-chops!

Mike Erickson

Great place. The meat is out of this world. Make sure you get your "HAPPY SITCKS" on your way out.

Steve S.

I have waited to post my review because because I secretly hoped that the Yuppies with their Platinum cards would not find out about this meat market. Thanks WCCO, you screwed that up. Possibly the best meat market in the Twin Cities. Customer service is through the roof. Steve

Alexander Bazant

This place is a classic. When you walk inside, you feel like you took a time machine back to the 40s. Everybody there knows each other, prices are great, and food is amazing.
