Main Street Meat Co. - Roscoe

Clean, great customer service. Fresh delish cuts of beef, chicken, pork. Never had anything from here that wasn't amazing.

This is a meat market located on IL 251 in Roscoe IL. They do have a cafe attached, but I'm more interested in the market portion itself. Given my recent obsession with smoking, I decided to give this place a try. Here is my pros vs cons analysis. Reviewed on YouTube: Pros: -They have plenty selection between beef, pork, and seafood. Plenty of things to sample. Plenty of things to smoke. It would keep me busy for a few months easy. -Main Street Meat prepare their product in house. Most of the meat cuts all seem to be butchered on site and it is a nice touch. Quality seems better than the average packaged meat you find at Wal-Mart -Staff was very pleasant, helpful, and patient. I was taking my sweet time. -Decent set of spices, peppers, and sauces. Even though the one I tried wasn't that great. -They even have other items such as grill accessories, beef jerky (again in house), local dairy haus ice cream (i need to review them too), and a neat little thermo bag. -And finally even even had home made dog treats... and that's just cool. My dog didn't really go for the pig ear, but she's weird anyways Moving on to the cons: -The biggest one is that you'll be paying a premium here. That's true with any specialty meat market. They may have a feel specials though that may lower the price tag a bit. -I still have a lot to learn with food prep, so I may be tossing away some extra money needlessly on failed experiments. -I enjoyed the ribeye, but again, the spice was a miss. That was my fault. Not theirs. Bottom Line: So the verdict. There are a couple of local meat markets in the area, but the staff, cleanliness, and professionalism, had me give it 4.5 stars on Yelp which means its a 5. I will be back.

This place is awesome! I have NEVER I MEAN NEVER had a bad purchase from this place. The steaks are awesome. Their brisket burgers are amazing. Also they have a steak and pork rub you can buy. I use that stuff a lot. Great place and great service.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. They have a huge variety of food. I love getting their fresh meat.

If you haven't tried the beef Snack Sticks, you must! They are the perfect snack for after school or between games (in our case). I'd much rather give a high-protein snack to the kids instead of high-fructose (and who knows what other ingredients) protein bars. You can always count on Main Street Meat for high-quality meats and treats. Go pick yourself up some next time you're there.
