Watertown Meat Center — Local services in Watertown

Very aggrivated!!! I called about wings on Tuesday and asked if I should order them. John from Naugatuck said yes to make sure to be safe since I live 20 minutes away. I ordered 22 pounds. I got there and actually spoke to John; that placed the order. He looked at me like I had 10 heads when I said I ordered them. Said, he didn't have any, they didn't come in yet. I told him to call me when they got them. He asked for my name and number and I said is all I know is the person that took my order lives in Naugatuck. He said, "Oh, that was me." and suddenly remembered my order and info was hanging right behind him. When I got home 20 minutes later there was a message on my machine that they should have them tomorrow. It didn't sound very convincing and I really don't have time to spend another hour going to buy chicken wings so my dad bought them for me elsewhere and I will never again over my dead body set foot in Watertown Meat Center again. If you know I live far away and don't have my order, you can at least call me and tell me. I hadn't been there in awhile, used to go all the time when I lived closer. Never again! I'll stick to Jerry's in seymour or just overpay at the...

As far as I'm concerned, there's is literally nothing more awesome than a small local business, run by awesome local people. I admittedly go out of my way to support these places, but thing to note is that it's not JUST because it's a local business; it's because the product is awesome, and makes me happy. I'll pay extra for happiness, because...it's happiness.

The Meat Market is one of my favorite places ever. Tiny litter market, small aisles, fresh food, and cuts of meat that are almost too good to be real. It's old school, personalized service that you can rarely find anywhere in this day and age. I mean, sure...Stop and Shop has steaks, and they might be a $1 cheaper; trust me when I tell you, there's a difference in quality that's worth way more than a dollar. Outside of the steaks, the deli in the back makes ridiculously amazing grinders, and the cabinet with the packages sides is like a freaking candy store for me.

Here's what you do. Plan a meal around meat, go to the Meat Center, buy said meat, buy some sides, pick up some paper towels if you need them, then go home and make your stomach happy.

Keep these places in business people, they are what makes our...

I CAN NOT SAY ENOUGH GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS PLACE! The owner, Kristie, is a Genius. I ALMOST regret going there the first time - because I've been there pretty much every day since. She makes an Asian Chicken salad that is AMAZING. She creates delicious and original cuisine. This is not just a meat center. Of course, they do have meat. They're skinless, boneless chicken breast is always about $2.00 per pound. But it's the prepared food that you'll go insane over. My personal favorite is Eggplant Rolotini & Chicken Pot Pie. She also makes fantastic desserts. So - get to Watertown Meat Center at your earliest convenience. You'll never need...
