Gary's Meat — Local services in Payson

Ok after reading reviews after I already had a close date I became a little worried so let’s see if I remember everyone. To the guy who wanted it packaged for resale: they put a paper in front of me as soon as I approached the counter that I was to fill out if mine was for resale. It wasn’t, I didn’t. Did you? To the guy who wanted the briskets: it’s tough fatty meat that has to be cooked a certain way. It’s greasy when done. But it makes fantastic hamburger Pattie’s. Not everyone wants that cut I demanded it ground up! Of course you have to ask for it. Ok oh and don’t like noise? You knew what you were moving next to. Don’t like it move! Ok now mine people had me worried. When they told me hang weight I didn’t believe them so I went and looked. Waste of time. It was mine. It was right And I weighed the end product I believe it was all there and processed beautifully I’ve eaten slot now and it’s everything I asked for nice people even though I might have even been a little rude. Don’t believe these bad reviews. They made the mistake not Gary’s meats. First time for me and I’ve found my new butcher. Got a date for the one mowing my lawn now. And I paid a lot less for butcher fee than my neighbor paid for his. His is packaged beautifully also though. His was less driving than mine. Kinda even In the end but I’m moving closer to Gary’s anyway with more land. Picture of 320# hanging packaged minus couple hamburger and a package of steaks. Sure looks good to me! Packaged bone in. Haven’t opened a-roast yet. Bone out would be smaller and more hamburger. Also steaks 1 in. Thick again less hamburger think about what you want. If you want the commodities you must ask. Most people don’t want them . Don’t know what that is just ask. They were nice. Oh and note that mine was a big square boy butchered light should have gone at least 200# more and trust me any rancher would have...

Let me start of saying Gary and Verlynn were the absolute best ever, the meat cutters were and still are top notch... Now we come to the new owner, you sir have no clue on any customer skills what so ever, what new owner would call a customer and accuse them of lying? What new owner would call a cutomer and say "your just spoiled of the services you got from Gary and Verlynn the last owner" what new owner wouldn't want to make sure he took care of the cutomers who made Gary's Meat? That would be Mike... he called my wife not me but her to rip a new one... this is now the 2nd time he's done this! We have going here for more than 15yrs with no problems, since the new owners have taken over all 3 times we been in there's been problems. Your customer service or lack of from your office staff is something you should address. Either incompetent employees or lack of training is your problem, NOT your customers. I did call him and he was a total ass and so was I, but you WILL NOT talk to her that way. You sir bought a turn key operation you have the best meat cutters and HAD some of the best customers all thanks to Gary and Verlynn, all you had to do is bring some people with people skills and a lunch bucket sit back and make money.... instead you have ran off numerous small time customers with many more leaving... how you treat people goes a long way and word of mouth goes even further. If it's your intentions to run Gary's good name and reputation in which he built that business ( not you ) on your doing a great job. Maybe after it's to late and all lessons learned the new owners after you could rebuild it. With that being said good day and...

Less than impressed with Gary’s meat. We took my wife’s elk here to get processed and let’s just say I’ll be making the investment to just do it all myself in the future. I didn’t learn the first time….and I got a 1/2 beef from a family friend and used Gary’s as the butcher again. I specifically remember saying I wanted the LEAST amount of burger possible, and all of the good cuts. Brisket, steaks, roasts, etc. I called today to ask why I didn’t get a brisket and they said you have to specifically request it. Well, I DID. Apparently whoever took my order over the phone didn’t write it down. But tell me this, WHY wouldn’t you leave one of the best cuts to the customer? Makes me ask, are they selling my cut of brisket on the side to other customers? I hope they didn’t grind it into burger because that would surely be a waste…

Save your energy and money and go...
