RJ’S Meat Shoppe

The most amazing steak at Eastern Market. I got a Ribeye which was beautiful with marbling and tender. The flavor was amazing. I also got a filet which was tender, I seasoned it with a lavender sea salt and pepper, served rare great cut of meat. Prices are great here. The man behind the counter was attentive and helpful.

I like to selection and quality of meats here. The only gripe I have is, if you are getting a big piece cut into smaller (such as steaks, for example), have them weight and charge you after they cut the piece. I was charged first and then I asked for them to weight after they cut and the difference was about $ 3 and the guy (just a worker, not proprietor so not sure if he just doesn’t care or if it is store policy) acted like it was nothing to it. In big scheme of things this wasn’t a big enough amount to have them issue a refund, but the fact that he was unashamed and unapologetic about such a discrepancy and said it was normal business — that alarmed me. Despite how insignificant the difference is, I don’t want to patron the business that I feel takes advantage of me. Like I said, this guy is most likely the front line worker that doesn’t care about the place’s reputation, so I don’t want to hold that against the whole business.
