The Meat Shop — Local services in Dallas

We are new to TX someone suggested we try this place. We did. On the day we stopped in there were 4 employees two whites and two black men behind the counter. I didn’t get a sense of welcoming from the woman at the register yet she was helpful in answering my husbands questions. What we ordered was delicious and we sat out back while we ate our sandwiches. I’m torn because of the lack of welcoming I can’t say I’d return or even recommend this place. I’m not sure, maybe I’ll try them one more time and see then, I’ll come back and update this review, how’s that. The stars are strictly for the food not the service.

I was so excited to find a LOCAL butcher, but disappointed that they didn't have grass fed beef. I love beef but I like the healthy version, which is grass fed with the omega 3s etc. I wanted to try the wagyu, but the guy told me it's grain fed/fattened for the last 6 months! That destroys the benefits of being grass fed earlier in life. I don't want beef that has been fattened on grain -- that's exactly what I'm trying to avoid. Back to Burgundy Local for me.

The wagyu cows may be treated better than the poor cattle jammed into feed lots, so that's a plus in my book. I will say they were friendly and word is their prepared food is good, so for a restaurant outing I would eat there, but not the grain fed stuff for day to...
