O’brien Meats

I have had nothing but good service and good food from here. We went in just to buy something for dinner that night and ended up buying a meat package. We were talking to him about his bacon burger mix and how we did it once and right before we left he gave us some just to try. I must say he won on that. It’s an amazing blend and a must try. Our meat package had different steaks and pork chops in it and no matter what seasoning or marinate I put on them they we tender and delicious. If you haven’t tried them yet swing by and by a pack of something for dinner you won’t be disappointed.

A recent experience with O’brien Meats has left me quite disappointed… I bought some ground chuck and a couple pounds of sirloin on a Saturday morning with plans to eat on the following Monday or Tuesday – just a few days later. The ground chuck did great for hamburgers on the grill that same weekend, but by the time the work week started the sirloin had already turned a disgusting dark brown color – with a very rancid smell. A few of my friends, as I later found out, have had similar bad experiences… According to them, they commented to the shop about it and were told their fridge/​freezer must have trouble holding a temperature. I can’t even begin to tell you how disappointed I am, because I’ve sent countless people to O’brien for their meat needs, hyping it up quite a bit!
I contacted them about it, but I admittedly didn’t follow through by going back to the shop. I didn’t want to take a chance of leaving on a bad note by having someone tell me the problem must be my appliances.
Other than that, everyone has always been nice in person. I hate that I had a bad experience, but now I realize their meat apparently isn’t truly fresh like I thought it was. They have to freeze (at least some of) their meats… for whatever reason. I can only assume there’s not enough business.
