Cartwright Valley Meat

Great place… surly employees.
This establishment easily has the best selection of high quality meats and fresh seafood in Grants Pass. The other departments (produce, frozen, wines, etc) are all really wonderful. So why do I not thoroughly enjoy shopping here? Because most of the employees are just down right surly! Especially the ones behind the meat counter. They mostly act like you’re an idiot and a big inconvenience. I’ve seriously only experienced three nice employees and I shop there monthly. I’ll keep shopping there, too. I’ll just be surly right back.

I think I’ve just replaced «The Butcher Shop» with Cartwright’s! They have a beautiful selection of meats and cuts, lots of the produce is organic and local, and they even have a little deli there!
We bought some hot dogs (which were very tasty) and dog food. The dog food is very reasonably priced and my dog absolutely loves it, I know what’s in it and it’s cheaper than canned dog food.
The people there are extremely nice and if you buy something and want it cut a certain way, they’ll do it. So glad I came in here and I can’t wait to come back to stock up!

Excellent sandwiches! They are huge, with lots of meat. Large selection of beers on tap, fresh fruit and home made bread.

Having spent five years managing a retail store for a globally renowned beef company, I have become quite the meat and grocery store snob. I have elevated my standards also for poultry, seafood, and especially the veggies to accompany said proteins. I can honestly conclude that the Cartwright model of butcher, taproom, deli and grocer is absolutely spectacular and worth going out of your way to visit.
Here is how I would suggest spending part of a day at Cartwright:
1) Sample every beer they have on tap
2) Order a freshly made sandwich and more beers to enjoy in their back dining area
3) Buy more meats, veggies and flavorings to grill at home.
I am jealous, Grants Pass. We have nothing like this in SoCal. I hope to get back up there someday soon.

What a disappointment! I went in to buy meat since that is what they are supposed to be all about. NOTHING in the entire case of meat is organically fed, grassfed, no hormones, no antibiotic meat. It’s almost like they are against healthy cows. Amazing. They do have a little bit of frozen organic meat, but I advise going across the street to Gooseberries to buy your meat. I will never, ever go here again and I certainly wouldn’t put any of their meat in my body.

Good meat and house made sausages, deli and produce… oh, and 52 taps that you can fill your growler with, at a better than average price

I’ve never made it into the store, which I hear is excellent. I’ve only ever eaten at the Saturday BBQ out front, which is also excellent. So very, very excellent. Both brisket and pork ribs very well done with nice smoke and moistness. It’s all take-​away eating, though, unless you’re lucky enough to snag one of the handful of picnic benches at the edge of the lot. But who cares! You just stumbled onto some outrageous ‘cue you weren’t expecting.
If they sold beer it’d be five stars for sure.
If you are looking for barbeque in Southern Oregon (on a Saturday), this is your spot.

OMG Greatest BBQ on West Coast Period
And a Restaurant now!

Great meat selection! Oxtail, sausage casings, etc. antibiotic free meat and lots of organic produce!

First time here with our parents who live in Grants Pass. We are in the process of moving to the City and I think I just found my weekend home for lunch. This place is unbelievable and has to be seen to appreciate.
Their meat department has EVERY meat you will ever need to cook or BBQ. They have outside seating for their newly opened restaurant on the weekends. The chefs are on the other side of the building with smokers smoking some of the best meat in the state.
I had the smoked brisket sandwich and was in heaven with the taste. My wife had the smoked Ruben sandwich. Boy was it tasty.
I highly recommend that you pull off highway 5 if travelling north or south and take some time to have lunch here. You will not be disappointed

More outside seating to enjoy the AWESOME deli sandwiches. Just cannot beat this place for a sandwich, ribs& burgers

Saturday BBQ was great — ordered a tri tip sandwich for about $ 8. They ran out of ribs, but I would bet they’re pretty good. Baked beans were sweet and awesome. Picnic tables on the lawn under the shade of big ol trees. Love.
The shop itself if super cute, clean, organized. I would purchase all my meat here if this store was near me. They have a decent selection of «ethnic foods» as well, stuff I don’t always see at big supermarkets (like japanese golden curry!). And a clean bathroom (it tells you a little bit about their hygiene standards).

How do I love thee? Let me grill the ways. My grandparents moved to Oregon more than 30 years ago, but when I think of Grants Pass now, I don’t think of picking wild blackberries, wading in the creek, or chasing barn cats around the workshop. I think of Cartwright Valley Meat Co. I sit up straighter at the thought of your succulent selections. You are the star of my Southern Oregon suppers and the golden yolks on my breakfast plate. Two must gets: the German sausages and the farm fresh eggs.

A little on the expensive side, but well worth it. Everyone is friendly and very fresh and clean. It is more than just a meat store with a variety of produce. Another great place in Grants pass.

Fantastic assortment of meats and everything looked so fresh and juicy! I’ve yet to cook up my selection but my family had sandwiches for lunch from their deli and they were very hearty! We were all impressed and wish we lived closer so we could go again soon!

I was looking for grass fed beef and was sent here. While they no longer sell it because it didn’t go over well with their customer base (people, wake up!) they did have meat that is free of hormones etc. I scored a great steak. Just wish it was grass fed from a local rancher.

i can’t believe i’m the first to review this place.
the best place to get meat in grants pass. some local options. mainly northwest grown food. (or they make it seem this way).
they make their own sausages, hot dogs and lunch meats (limited number made in house — standards: ham, turkey, bologna, roast beef, etc. these are well made and relatively inexpensive)
it is not just a butcher shop, it is pretty much a full scale supermarket, but on a small scale. does that even make sense? who cares? the meat is waaaaaaay better than at safeway and the prices are comparible, if not better.
they have a good deli counter where you can get a sandwich, or some prepared salads or a house made hot dog for only one buck!
there is absolutely no reason to buy meat anywhere else in grants pass. the quality is much higher and priced well. get over it, buy a ny strip, and shut up.
