Hind Quarter Meat Co. — Local services in Barrie

Best ever. I drive north for about 45 minutes just to talk to them, learn and buy from them, about cuts I haven't been able to get anywhere. Beef Cheeks, Hanger Steak, Bavette, and the list goes on. Great service. Great knowledge. I've brought at least 5 meat-loving friends in and said "you have to see this place". And for good reason. They all make trips there because it is that great. And I've butchered my own meat for 28 years, and these guys are way, way above my experience.

OK, an edit. Just did their Sausage making course. Fantastic. Three professional butchers, 4 types of sausage that 12 of us amateurs made. I did a small Sous Chef experience with a top Toronto Restaurant, I own a Big Green Egg, a Treager and an offset Oklahoma Joe smoker. I'm a gas grill in the kitchen over inferred. Why, well, I tell you this because I love food.

When my wife goes bonkers over the Maple Mustard sausage and then the Toulouse (she spent 2 years in France), and says....

"it's the texture, it's the flavour, it rocks, we are buying our sausages from Hind Quarter from now on".

"No saucy dips needed - flat on enjoy"

Top quality meat, top quality staff, top quality service, top quality knowledge and top quality innovation. The Toulouse, hmmmm, tough to call but it was above the Maple Mustard imho.

If you like good cuts and innovation. And an honest conversation with your butcher, and the chance to learn part of the art. Ask for...

Hindquarter Meats in Barrie is a real gem for anyone who appreciates quality, locally-sourced meats and artisanal products! I recently attended their sausage-making class, and it was such a fun and informative experience. The class walked us through every step of the process, from choosing spices to stuffing the sausages, all under the guidance of their friendly, knowledgeable staff. It was hands-on, engaging, and I left with some amazing, custom-made sausages to enjoy at home.

Aside from the classes, Hindquarter has an impressive selection of local products. Their meat counter is filled with cuts of meat you know are sourced with care, plus a great variety of unique items you won’t find anywhere else. They also carry a selection of local cheeses, sauces, and other gourmet goods, making it a perfect stop for building a high-quality, locally-sourced meal.

Hindquarter Meats goes beyond being a butcher shop—they’re a true community spot for food lovers. Whether you’re looking to take a class, pick up fresh meat, or just chat with staff who are passionate about what they do, this place is a must-visit in Barrie. Highly recommend...

Stopped in for the first time after reading about the new butcher. Very knowledgeable friendly staff. I purchased a flat iron steak. It was an excellent cut of meat. Delicious cooked on the grill. We will be back to try the dry aged steaks. On our next trip to HQ we ordered the steak sandwich (to share) for take out. This was the absolute best sandwich we have ever had. The steak was nicely seasoned and the flavor of the roasted Poblano peppers and crispy onions along with the tenderness of the steak on the poppy seeded bun was outstanding. We shared this sandwich but will definitely each get one on our next visit. We highly recommend this sandwich!! Fantastic flavours and...
