Nowakowski Processing — Local services in Harrah

After going out for the last 6 years in a row (since 2012) I shot my first deer ever, this year (2018) on the second day of rifle season. A nice spike with a pretty good weight of 158lbs. after gutting. I took the carcass to Nowakowski on a recommendation (which is more than 30 miles away from me.) and when I went to pick it up, I was waiting at the front counter for almost half an hour before someone showed up to help me. I tried calling while standing there and still no response. When I was shown the paperwork with the breakdown of the meat cuts, most of it was illegible, the guy at the counter said that I lost 40lbs of meat due to the gunshot and the intestines being ruptured. I'm no expert but I do know my basic deer anatomy. My shot was far lower than I would have liked and hit high about an inch behind the diaphragm on an oblique angle from the animals front right side and exited at the lowest rib on the left side. I gutted the animal in the field 5 minutes after harvest, I made absolutely sure to not nick any of the lower digestive tract and the only organs hit by my bullet were the stomach and liver, yet they were trying to tell me I lost an amount of meat that would be equal to a complete shoulder or hindquarter. More likely, I lost 40lbs. of meat to some jackass at the backdoor. I will never do business with this company ever again. You would be better off traveling a much greater distance and go to any other meat processor in Oklahoma. Next year I'll try one of the 2 that are 10 minutes down the road from me and hope they know how to treat...

On the retail side, I have always been pleased with the meat I have purchased here. It is good value and quality. I believe the best selection is on Friday/Saturday; otherwise the meat available is more limited/frozen.

My first interaction was when I had a goat processed. The interaction was good. The customer service is always friendly/honest/helpful.

Most recently I had a pig processed and used their mobile processing service (where they came and picked up my pig). It was a great experience. Scheduling was easy. I provided my cut list and instructions prior to the appointment. They patiently answered all my questions. All the meat is cut as requested and cleanly packaged. The process was affordable and I am very satisfied with the end results. My chops are all cut beautifully and evenly. They communicated every step of the way, so I never wondered what was going on or when my meat...

Never again! Horrible. 5 head of beef. Everyone was short on meat on the return. One was almost 100 pound alone. Richard just plays dumb and says it is what it is. Steaks missing. Cut sheet wasn’t followed. No names or weights on anything. I went into the freezer to see the meat. No names or tags on them so no way to tell if it’s your meat or not. Was pushed off for over a week past when told it would be done because of their shrink wrap machine goin down. I still had to re shrink wrap it when I finally got it home. I talked to josh the owner several times during the entire process nice guy but has no control over them. Go somewhere else and save yourself the hassles. Meat looks it was cut out in the field Dirty and all packages were bloody. Not...
