Best Slaughterhouse Grand Rapids Near Me

Tom Sterken: They are very helpful

FG Eclipse: Been in the area for a long time, never tried this place. Their hot sticks are probably the best i've ever had. Will be back for more.

Jim Newland: Where to begin....stumbled across this gem this weekend and can't say enough about them. We got brats, chicken, terayaki beef sticks and chorizo. The chicken is still in the freezer, but we've sampled everything else and it's flat out superb. Service was great too. This is an old time butcher shop guys and I'll gladly drive from the Cedar Springs area where we live to support them. To be fair, we still love Frank's Market but Leyen & Son are more affordable frankly. That always matters too of course.

Shocker E: Mark is fantastic! We’ve been dropping pigs off to him for a few years now and have never been disappointed. Very informative and helpful. Also his selection of snack sticks in the store front are 2nd to none, absolutely amazing. Always a pleasure to support this great butcher shop!

Verlin Stapleton: Great place ! Friendly and helpful.Steaks are awesome!Check it out and buy local #awesome #supportlocalmarkets

Jason Radmacher: Literally worth the drive from anywhere! The team at Leyen & Sons has become our go-to place for every kind of meat. The quality of beef, pork and chicken has always been far better than the chain grocers, and the sausage blends have become amazing -- as good or better than all the old Polish places we loved so dearly on the West Side. Great people, wonderful service, and a great story of a long-time family butcher shop -- a Grand Rapids staple! A++ (Now we just have to talk them into making some kiszka/gritzwurst!)

Charles Stabler: So thankful I found Leyen & Son meats. A deer was hit in front of my house. I field dressed the deer, but wasn't sure where to take it. I found out Leyen and Sons process deer. They made ground venison, left the backstraps whole the way I requested. I had a hind quarter brined and smoked. So good! Then I took some of the ground meat back to make German wieners. Also amazing. This place does quality work and very reliable. Thank you Leyen & Son!

Jarred Sylvester: This place is my weekly stop for meat products. Mark and his family are great people. Always gotta get my chicken fix!

Nick Golcyzynski: The quality of meat is excellent i would recommend this place to everyone!!!!!!!

Blair Mongeon: One of the best meat markets in town. Quality and price are great, and the family that owns it are very nice. Always a good experience going in.

Lauren Vermilye: Such great product! Once you buy steak from them, you'll be spoiled for all fancy steakhouses. Also fantastic deer processing.

Nicholas Rodriguez: The 1 positive I have to add say is their baked beans are great and will probably keep me going there on occasion. The problems I have is that their meats are mostly frozen. Very little options as far as fresh meats go. The prices seemed okay but bad compared to ralphs down the road. I went for sausage and all except the country sausage was frozen. Ralphs has fresh sausage for cheaper. So does Meijer. I haven't actually thawed the meat to try it yet. Maybe I'll add a star if it's completely amazing beyond expectation. But I really would like fresh meat from a meat shop. The last big gripe is that they don't take a bridge card. They are in an area where a good percentage of people would benefit from them taking it. And maybe if they took it they could sell enough meat to not have to freeze it? If every liquor store in the state can figure out how to take ebt then I'm sure you could too if you really care to. I'll be back for the beans but that's probably the only thing I can really afford to splurge on.

Christy Clark: Always very friendly and informative. Quality is great and prices are fair.

Jacob Yeo: Have been coming here ever since Levandowskis on Walker changed their Kielbasa recipe. Great selection here as well! Definitely would recommend!

Myk Reenders: This is probably one of the best butchers I've ever been too!!! Everyone you talk to there is extremely nice, but if you get talking with Mark (the owner) you will leave with a smile. He is just a genuine man. Plus the meat there is great! For a great price. Supplying meat for the people!

AllFact fff: so i dropped off a pretty good size buck 3 days ago and i just picked it up, and my god there was a ton of meat...im very impressed and happy with the cuts and the burger. defiantly only using these guys now on. oh and the roast's are crazy huge and nicely cut to. cant wait to slow cook one in the crock pot...well done Leyen & Son meats, well done

Nick Ilbrink: Thankful that you guys process deer quickly. Not very satisfied with the fact that my taxidermist called me saying the legs were caped out wrong and that the cape was starting to turn green, meaning it was going bad already. The buck was shot and brought straight there due to the warm temps. Probably won't bring anymore bucks there in the future.

Robert Breyer: Fantastic local butcher who had a cut of meat I needed quickly.

Lisa Bredeweg: Clean friendly awesome meat sticks

Valerie Grant: We were excited to find out that Pam an Adrian we're working here, the food is great in this place. Make sure you stop you will not regret it

T JB: Great selection , great people right on Walker street!

Gordon Reyers: Love this place!!

Hudson Vicki: It is so nice to shop at a little store (with such nice employees) instead of today's category killers. Good food! Good prices.

Brad Gillette: When the place down the street decided to close a half hour early, I spotted this place and decided to check it out. My dad’s in palliative care and was dying for a brat. The folks here helped me pick out just the right sauerkraut and four, very fresh brats. I managed to make it home, toss them on the grill, and get my father his brat just in time for his afternoon nap.Great, authentic products, fresh meat, and excellent, friendly service. I can’t say enough. Will definitely be back.

Jackie Valentine: Visited for first time , real happy with your products, why pay the most at your west side markets.

Tina Benedict: Friendly service, awesome fresh made sausages and kielbasa. Meat selection is super fresh.

Jessica Gervenak: I found my heaven on earth today and it’s Lewandoski’s Market!!! ❤️ Kindest people and gorgeous meats! Didn’t even know I lived this close to heaven. Got a roast and ribeye. Thank you and I’ll definitely be back…actually can I just live there 😊

thomas feldman: Thank you Gary the Glumkies are great.. 🍽🥂

Rae Bunce: Friendly staff. Owner is a huge community oriented person. Best kielbasa in the city (in my humble opinion). We especially enjoy the smoked pork chops, smoked turkey, and there's a wide variety of side dishes to choose from.Nice updates to the long-time neighborhood store. I love shopping at this market. You will too!

Deb Forrest: Excellent meat market, very friendly, excellent fresh kielbasa , also,, received sample of new flavor of "beef sticks", very good!!!

Anna DeVriendt: Some of the best fresh meat, kielbasa and meat sticks around. Definitely worth the drive every year for our Christmas sausage 😋. If your ever in the area or even if your not, this is a must stop place. You won't be disappointed

Melisa Dziekan: Always very friendly and great service.

Ellie Wierenga: Visited Lewandoski's Market and bought some excellent Polish kielbasa some honey barbecue meat sticks,absolute quality,lots of different meats to choose from. Absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend this market.👍🏼👍🏼❤

Tom Usakowski: Wonderful and friendly customer serviceExcellent and delicious meats with very reasonable prices

karol schaner: Fabulous food and service!

Paige Granger: Can't recommend them enough. So friendly and wonderful selection of meats. Will definitely be coming back! They also offered a veterans discount which I thought was very nice

Margaret TenElshof: Never disappointed! Great selection of meats and sides. Keilbasa has fabulous taste, don't even get me on the cuts of meat fantastic!

Jennifer Lewandowski: I just tried the Mac and cheese brats. They are delicious. Definitely will be buying more of those the next time I'm in Grand Rapids.

Chuck Overbeeke: Love the great atmosphere, people and fabulous meats. A treasure for our city and it's people.

Adam Homan: Best polish meat around. Awesome people, too!

Mike Vanbeek: Friendly and fast. Great service

Laura White: Love this place!! Everyone is super friendly and very helpful

Rich: I really love this place. We've gotten two cows from them from scales prairie and love every bit of beef. They are very kind and are willing to help with any issues you have at all! Would recommend to anyone.

Beaty Devereaux: I love their processing of our beef! They do wonderful work and their staff are so friendly.

Chad Lettinga: Yummy

Jason Bigsby: Items looked to be well packed and arranged for pick up. Loaded up very quickly

mark hansen: Great job on my pigs dropped off 4 . 1 for me 3 for customers smoked and Italian sausage seasoning. Everyone received their cuts correct. 9 day turn around great place! Will send all my livestock to them. Thank you

kevin wadkins: Very friendly staff!!

Joe Yoder: Very pleasant and professional service!

Pat Bolling: Very low yield, at least 13% short or 125#'s per cow. They've changed cuts of meat offered. Not the cuts offered I would have liked.

Rick Swift: Great people to deal with

Laura Munro: Low percentage yield (extremely low) on a lean cow with bone-in cuts, gave a HALF POUND "brisket." Our invoice was also wrong. We've purchased a quarter cow before from another butcher and it was nearly double the size of what we received with a similar hanging weight.

Michael Neyome: I am very happy with my order from Caledonia Packing......Everyone was so nice to me....Thank you.....😎......

Henna Flohe: They kept most of the good cuts. We brought a huge steer in for processing. Was charged over $800, we got tons ground beef, stew meat, pot roast meet and soup bones. Got a few pieces of filet, some delmonico, new York strip and a few ribs. No signs of Prime rib roast, no Tbone or porterhouse steaks. So very disappointing, will never use again.

Kyle Bohl: the only place I bring a hog to! Great tasting food, served with a smile

Megan Woodcox: We take our meat into Caledonia for a couple years now, and this weekend we had the WORST experience with Mike!! He is extremely rude, doesn't care about anything, does't want to help!He called my husband about one of our cows and couldn't give us any information on what was going on other then one wasn't getting up (which they were perfectly fine when we dropped them off) , didn't keep us updated on anything, just decided he would get "rid" of it without talking to us about it. I'm extremely mad at them! Unprofessional

Luke Eising: I'm a farmer and use them for USDA slaughter. They're friendly, competent, and go the extra mile for humane certification. Pens are clean

Corey Tinker: I can not describe how amazing the people are here. Long story short, I needed liver for my dog who has anemia due to having a mass on his liver that may or may not be cancerous. When I called to get information (the lady, i completely forgot her name since I was so upset about my dog and working on 3 hours of sleep for the last few days, was so sweet and informative) she was closing in 10 minutes and I was in Grand Rapids, and she decided to stay open until I got there. Had everything I needed ready for me. Words can not describe how sweet, amazing, and appreciated that was. --oh and she was 100%correct my dog loves the liver and gobbles up the bone shavings in his food - it has given him enough energy that he can actually stand again. Here's hoping and praying that it isn't cancer.

Corey Robinson: amazing working environment, very nice staff and the food is to die for.

N Mark: We're farmers and normally don't have time to write reviews, but I felt compelled to do so in this case. The folks at Caledonia Packing know their stuff. All 18 of our cut and wrap orders were correct. Nice evenly cut steaks and chops, superb trim and vacuum seal. They really make our home grown beef and pork shine. Great bacon, hams and sausage. Totally dedicated to customer service! Check then out whether you are looking for some nice steaks out of their retail case or a reliable outlet to process your meat animals.
