Von Hanson’s Meats — Local services in Elk River

This butcher shop is a perfect blend of quality, value, and service. The staff is friendly, knowledgeable, and always willing to help, whether it’s answering questions about cuts or giving cooking tips. The selection is impressive, with everything from fresh daily cuts to specialty sausages and marinades that you will not find in a typical grocery store.

The prices are fair, and you truly get bang for your buck. The quality of the meat easily justifies the cost—tender, flavorful, and consistently fresh. It’s clear they take pride in what they sell and in how it’s prepared. You can tell the difference right away when you cook it at home.

Even though it’s technically a chain-style shop, it still feels like a small-town butcher where people know their customers and appreciate repeat business. The atmosphere is personal and welcoming, not rushed or corporate. The store itself is clean, organized, and always smells fresh—just the way a good butcher should.

Overall, this place delivers the best of both worlds: the reliability and variety of a larger operation, combined with the down-to-earth values and service of a local neighborhood shop. Highly recommended for anyone who loves quality...
