Eastern Market of Canton

My sister tried the chicken here, and told me it tasted delicious just plain. I had to try it and she was right. Great value on natural Amish breasts in a 10 lb bag. If you have freezer space consider a meat bundle. The staff is super friendly, and you can pick up eggs, milk, or whatever else you need to round out your staples, too. It’s in the corner of a strip mall.

Can’t find a better place to buy meat. From steaks to seafood to bacon to deli meat there isn’t a bad product here. Marvin and his crew are profesional courteous and they know your name. Its how a small business should be ran. Truly and honestly can’t say enough about what a great store this is. Support a local business doing it the right way and shop at Eastern Market Canton.

Awesome! So excited to have found this place! Staff was great and extremely helpful!

This was the first time we tried this store. We called ahead and received excellent advice as to what ham to purchase for Christmas. My wifr pucked up the ham. From the moment she walked into your store until she left they helpd her all the way including offering to carry out her order for her. We will be back to support this fine merchant.

Very friendly market located in a strip mall. It’s in the corner so look carefully so you don’t miss it. Everyone greets you loudly with a «Welcome to Eastern Market!!!» as you come in the door. Quite disarming but very genuine. The butcher and deli counters are why you come here. There are plenty of groceries packed into this small sized store. Great meat at great prices topped off by that friendly service. Seems very much like a family run place that has been there a long time. I picked up a new york strip steak as well as some lunch meat. I was very much impressed and I will be back!!!

What can I say, Marvin and his staff are aces. You will not find a better market anywhere. If you haven’t been here you don’t know what your missing. As a friend of mine said «This place is a hidden gem »

I have watched different markets come and go in this location since my stylist was located in this plaza. I drive from Redford and usually get my meat from Joyview Market on Joy Road (also excellent) so I usually only stop in at Eastern Market of Canton to pick up something to make for dinner on these occasions. The previous owners were hit and miss, since the market often seemed to be closed for family vacations or for other reasons.
So when these owners bought it, I continued visiting infrequently. I did notice a big improvement in the meat quality and the customer service.
The last time I went in, I asked for some stew meat and then asked for soup bones. I had a hankering to make some vegetable beef soup, and while I usually buy a chuck roast and cut it up myself, I didn’t have time this time so went for the convenience of stew meat that was at least partway cut up. The guy who was waiting on me turned to the man I presume is the owner and said, «She wants soup bones.» This guy lit up like a Christmas tree and said, «You want soup bones? I have the best thing ever for soup, these beef neck bones. You use these and you are going to make the BEST pot of soup EVER. I guarantee it.» He persuaded me to buy the bones. So now I had 3 pounds of beef neck bones and 3 pounds of stew meat. When it was rung up and I found out that this pot of soup was going to cost me $ 30 just for the meat my eyes kind of bugged out but I paid up. I thought about saving the stew meat for something else, but I make a big pot of soup and it was still a good price per serving. I also bought some Italian sausages that was told were going to be «the BEST sausages you have EVER eaten!» Obviously, the owner has a lot of passion for his work, which is always a good sign.
I was skeptical about the BEST sausages and the BEST soup, but you know, he was right. The beef from the neck bones was far more tender and tasty than the stew beef, which I don’t usually like to use in soup because it can become tough and dry. Stew beef is really for stew, but I was in a hurry. The neck bones did make great soup and they were so meaty I could have done without the stew meat. It was one of the best pots of soup I had ever made.
The Italian sausages were also really delicious. I don’t know about the BEST, but I would have to say they were definitely up in the top three. Maybe even the best. I’m really sad that my stylist is moving out of this plaza, but now when I want to make vegetable beef, I know where I’m going.

Marvin, the owner, used to work at another party store on Newburgh Road in Westland MI. That store closed and i wondered whatever happened to him. Today i just wanted ½ LBS of ground chuck and i didn’t want to deal with an over crowded Meijer or Kroger store. I visited Eastern Market of Canton and was please to be greeted by a familiar face. Marvin is such a sweet cool guy that we talked for a while about old times. He asked about my family and told me about his kids. The store is fairly new and very clean. Every time someone entered the store, a guy behind the meat counter greeted them with a robust «HELLO, Welcome to Easter Market of Canton…» Their meats are beautiful. I commented on how wonderful it is to have a store nearby that offers Dearborn Brand and Boars Head meats and cheeses. They have dozens of fresh sliced cheeses and chicken, beef, pork, sausages, even real beef jerky! Their prices are similar to Meijer and Kroger but their butcher is personable and let me taste a cheese before i bought it.
The store isn’t a large store but it isn’t cramped either. They offered fresh baked goods from a nearby bakery too. I feel as though i have finally found a neighborhood butcher similar to the one that i grew up with back in the old neighborhood.

Ok; Finally found a Butcher in the area, first impressions they might be a keeper. Clean and reasonable prices. But what price do you put on fresh meat, not packaged in plastic and fresh pads. For me it’s eveything. Quality of product looked good and the staff was friendly.

This place is very welcoming. The meat is fresh and everything bagged is freezer ready! You can’t beat that. No muss, no fuss when you get it home. Marvin and Bob were very nice and so accommodating.

This is a great place. Marvin (the owner) is always so welcoming. They are best known for their chicken salad.

I went in here for a ham bone and came out with a freezer load of beautiful, hormone free meat and organic chicken. The owner was really helpful and nice! The meat case filled with some of the best looking cuts I have seen in some time… and the prices great! I am a new repeat customer !

I just moved away from Canton but I’m still local and will probably make the drive here to get my meat. I found Marvin’s place when I needed a veal shank and he was the only guy in town that had one. Always friendly and ready to shake your hand.
I catered a meal for 40 people and got a cooler full of meat from Marvin and he gave me a hell of a discount.

This version of the Eastern Market deserves five stars across the board 100%. The one and only negative I have to say about this place is; I couldn’t find it as easily as I should have been able to. If I didn’t need to pick up meats for the week that bad, I wouldn’t have cared and just cont. to drive. However, I am more than pleased that I was in need of groceries and considering I have lived in Canton for 28 days and I needed a small market to do my grocery shopping I try not to go to larger chains.
As I pulled up to park in the parking lot, the store’s young clerk was helping an elderly man out to his van and put his groceries in the back for him, made certain that he was in the car and waited for him to pull away, then he went inside. I made my way in and the kid was eating and still had an organic warm welcome for me, regardless I told him to cont. to eat I wasn’t ready. That’s what I got to meet Marvin, I normally do not remember names. I did for him, one its original and quirky and two he made a great impression, from the beginning both him and the young guy had a conversation with me that felt that I’ve been a customer there for years.
That was my first visit, I mentioned to Marvin that he had amazing reviews on Unilocal,and without a cocky or condescending tone he agreed, as well as he felt he deserved. I got the feeling of pride, not that he knew or that he should have those reviews, he gave the feeling of he worked his butt off to have that view from patrons and he had pride in what he did, and he loves. Even if he doesn’t, you can’t tell.
This is the kind of treatment that you would have received back in «leave it to beaver» and I am a 24 year old woman and I still know what customer service should be, and Kroger’s, Walmart, Costco and other large chains like that they don’t have strong enough micromanagement to ensure that every customer is treated with the respect that they need. So i found Eastern Market that day, and Randazzo’s. I will be reviewing them after this, they did exceptionally well too.
Rant Over, Marvin, keep up the good work I will see you buddy. (I’ll bet money that both of the guys remember me, why? because that’s good customer service ;-))

The previous owner boasted about the no antibiotic /​no steroid /​no hormone beef, poultry and pork. She went on and on about it and raved about the benefits. We found out from the new owner that the poultry and pork are Amish but the beef never was. We have been lied to for over a year and have fed our children products containing drugs that we wanted to keep out of their bodies. How awful to lie to someone about FOOD! The new owners are very nice and told us right away that it wasn’t the truth… we asked if they will be using the same drug free meats and he said right away that they are using the same company and that it isn’t ”free of everything”. I am so upset and disgusted with the previous owner, if she was still the owner I would have called the better business bureau and contacted a lawyer.
I want to make one thing clear. The new owners are very nice and keep the store very clean. Regardless of the type of meats we were looking for to purchase for our family, the meats they offer are very fresh and the store is well stocked.

Just when I thought that there were no decent butcher shops near Plymouth, I find this hidden gem in an older strip mall.
The meat looked fantastic and the prices were good. I got a discount for buying 5 pounds of ground meat at a time, and the guy behind the counter didn’t mind wrapping them up in 1 pound bundles. I was told that they give discounts on the boneless, skinless chicken breasts, but the price depends on the amount you want and that you need to talk to the owner to get the discount. I’m not too proud to hunt someone down for a deal.
I wandered over to the prepared salads and deli area. I got some some salads, and the woman behind the counter was really nice. She told me that she had just made a few salads, but they would be better if they sat a day first before eating. Some of the salads looked like they had been bought in bulk, and then they jazzed them up with chunks of cheese, but I didn’t ask about it.
It is mostly meat in there, along with a few vegetables, some buns and a few condiments. I’ll be back there again and again.

I live around the corner from this place and I swear I will never be able to move away because I am so dependent on it. The meat is fantastic. Prices are good. Diane (the owner) is very personable and helpful. As a regular I get special prices very often. It’s incredible to be able to go here each day and get the meat fresh for that day’s meal.
