We ordered a standing rib roast for Christmas, but after we picked it we found out that our daughter and son-in-law had Covid. We postponed our Christmas dinner for a month. I was worried that our dinner wouldnt be so nice given that the meat was frozen. However it was like butter. Delicious, tender and full of flavour. So glad we splurged! Thank you Ryans Meat.

The place has good product. Been using Ryans for wild game processing for years now and this year they really fell short. Not sure whats going on but they really have to work on communication and delivery within a reasonable time. Dropped my deer trim off mid-Nov. told about two weeks to make it into sausage. Called to inquire after that but got the well call you when ready response. Told most likely January. Still nadda. Called again in Jan, told no pickup timeline available. I picked my trim back back up and processing myself. My suggestion is to not take wild game orders if you

I have a friend that brought in a bison and this butcher took it on himself to do what he wanted not the customer ..He told him clearly on the cuts he wanted as the butcher agreed .Long story short he ground up the whole thing to hamburger.I can not believe he is getting away with this in the public eye ,crazy .Stay away from this butcher shop

First visit to Ryan's to seek out London Broil. I was helped right away and was impressed by the selection available for 'grab n go'! I was happy to learn everything was local and prepared right there in the shop. I'll be back!

Ryan's meats is very reasonably priced, service is realistic, prompt, friendly and jovial. Quality of the meat is next level. Highly recommend. They are a small shop so don't expect supermarket selection but they have all the staples and , of course, you can special order.
