Friendly people, offer you options on cuts and packaging. Willing to explain your options. Historically they were fabulous. However, very disappointed this year as none of the packages described as 1 pound packages of ground beef when order was made are even close to 16 ounces: 11 ounces, 12 ounces, a few 14 ounces but nothing at 15 or 16 ounces. Now I'll spend all year adjusting recipes.

I really loved my first 2 bundles. After visiting 2 other butcher shops I was impressed. My last order changed my mind. I live about 40-45 min away and just driving back isn't so easy. I picked up my meat got home was unloading and realized I only had 3 lbs of hamburger (the bundle comes with 5) I immediately called and was told that because my cube steaks weighed 4.5 lbs they cut my hamburger back they can not always control how much the meat weighs but they try to get as close as possible.
I was a little baffled to say the least. I totally understand getting exactly 1lb might be tricky but no customer should be shorted any meat due to one meat weighing more and giving less in another meat. Honestly the cube steak isn't even that great I wanted the hamburger more. Upon weighing all the meat myself i was shorted everywhere with every meat except my steaks. My last order at archers.

Archer's may be a little bit more pricey but seriously ppl u get what I pay for. The meat is quality meat. Last yr I bought half a cow an got half a pig for the cost of processing, yes I paid over a grand but it has been well worth the price. Next time it will be whole pig an half the cow. Archer's makes Hamburger patties that are the best we have ever had. Most of the time the meat fits the bun with no hang over, cooks perfectly very little if and grease. Needless to say if the meat wasn't any good I would NOT go back. The meat at Archer's is 10x better than u get at the grocery store.

I cannot say enough great things about Archer's Meats - this is the only place that I will purchase meat from. We recently bought a quarter of cow, during the Covid - 19 pandemic and we had meat in about 1.5 weeks. They are always fast, polite and friendly anytime I call or walk in. They know me and knowing that all the meat is local, makes it even better. I have never liked ground beef, but I eat every single piece when it's from Archer's. They will always have my business!
