Smokin Iron Farms

It’s about t food. Their double smoke sausage is the best. Their smoked turkey is great! Yes their customer service could be friendlier and not texting. Someone complain of bleach smell, hardly, maybe when they just cleaned up. I will return. Yes prices could be lower

Went in before and had no problems, food was good, service okay.(that’s the only reason its not one star) Went in for the last time. Here is what happened:
Walked in. No Greeting. Finally out of three staff members the one who is sick (like dyeing sick, cant stop coughing and rubbing her snotty nose) decides to help me pick out the meat I’m going to eat, and bacon.
I try to ignore the fact that she is absolutely disgusting when the delivery man walks in and says «still sick? Must be where I caught it from»
So she rings me up and its soo expensive. I look at her and am like «sorry, I can’t»
I got out of there and went in my truck and sprayed oregano oil over my face, hands and in my mouth. I felt disgusted and am so glad I didn’t spend 50 $ on their dirty meat. Imagine what they do when there is no customers. eeek
I went to Victoria Fancy Sausage, and from the second I walked in there I felt relief. A clean place, with healthy, happy employees, Try Fancy Sausage, you’ll love it.

We have been buying meat at this butcher shop in Highlands neighbourhood for a few years now. The meat is always great, much better taste and quality compared to chain grocers. It is more expensive, but you pay for the quality. They also sell Baba’s own perogies and cabbage rolls– best I’ve had.
As for folks saying the staff is rude/​un professional etc– I have never had that experience. The lady who owns the shop has a direct way of talking but I’ve never found her rude. Always polite, friendly, and funny with me.
I recommend this place to everyone. Turkey’s and ham are excellent for the holidays.

As soon as I walked in to this shop I was overwhelmed by the smell of bleach and cleaning products. Not exactly what I want to be greeted by at a local butcher. I want the entire surrounding block to smell like smoked meat, dammit!
The lady behind the counter looked miserable, stood there limply, barely responded to questions and was just all around not helpful. We were there to buy chicken and the only chicken breasts they had were gigantic. No other options as far as I could glean from Miss Miserable. Pretty sure we paid about $ 30 for two chicken breasts. I am happy to pay for quality, but this seems to be over the top, plus the customer service is terrible. Won’t return.

Stopped in here as I’d heard great things about the quality of their products.
I was immediately turned off by the staff member who ‘helped’ me. I felt uncomfortable the entire time because I felt as if I was just a burden to her. She was very unpleasant and had no interest in helping me. I asked her a couple questions, which were responded to with short, cold answers. I almost felt like I should apologize to her for taking up her precious time.
The meat was good, but didn’t blow me away by any means. It was expensive compared to the other local butcher I go to.
I like to frequent places that value their customers, so I don’t think Smokin’ Iron is for me.

Ok but all these reviews on here must be fake because I found this place overpriced and terrible, terrible customer service. I had to wait 15 mins for someone to turn around from their personal conversations about how bad their life is. I have tried this place over and over as I love buying from a butcher but man this place is sad. To charge that much for a steak and not even have a smiling face help you. Never again…

This is the only place I buy meat. It comes from local Hutterite suppliers and it doesn’t have a ton of crap (no GHs, at least). They have, hands down, the biggest chickens I’ve ever seen. I bought an 8 pound chicken three weeks ago and I’m still eating off it. It was worth every cent of the $ 25 I paid. I’ll never go back to the teeny $ 9 chickens routinely stocked at grocery stores around town!

I don’t know if I just have bad luck with this place or what, but I haven’t had many good experiences here.
I moved into the area a half year ago and was very excited to see a butcher shop so close to my house. On my first couple visits I asked for four chicken breast and was given anywhere between three and five. The lady just really doesn’t want to give me four chicken breasts! Another couple times I came in for chicken and was told it was in the back and would be brought out after the steaks so I could come back later if I wanted. I didn’t have time to come back later and was surprised they couldn’t just go get some chicken if it was in the back. I ended up going to Real Deal on the south side while running another errand.
I haven’t found the service here overly friendly either. It’s too bad because they have really good meat products. A smile can go a long way and unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be a lot of these here. Unfortunately, despite its close proximity, I won’t be returning.

This is one of the best places to buy meat in the city. It’s family owned, they age their beef for 21 days, and use no growth hormone or steroids. Everything I’ve had has been great tasting.
I haven’t branched out to their exotic meats, but I’ve seen that you can get python, alligator, camel, and kangaroo. Mmmmm… kangaroo tail soup… venison pepperoni pizza… elk burgers.
Although I’ve only ever bought from the store, they sell online too.

Fabulous. The meat is all from a local Hudderite community and is fresh and of great quality. They have beautiful cuts and will do all kinds of custom orders with a bit of notice.
We’ve had their steaks, stewing beef, pepperoni, pork loin, turkey, chicken, rack of lamb, lamb chops, bacon… not only is the meat superior but so are the prices. Instead of a turkey this Easter we had one of their monster chickens — fed 6 people with leftovers, and so delicious!

This great butcher shop is walking distance so I go often for great steaks, Baba’s perogies (the ones they serve at Culina) and lamb.
But the biggest change Smokin’ Iron has made in my life is fresh turkey at Christmas and Thanksgiving. The difference is remarkable — but not cheap. Absolutely worth it, but easily 4 or 5 times the price of a frozen bird from a grocery store. If you want a smaller bird be sure to reserved early.
They also have an amazing selection of game meats in the freezer section.

First time to the Smokin Iron Farms deli/​buctcher shop ane we where very impressed. Great selection of quiality meats, and a fine selection of exotic meats from around the world. such as Alligator, Kangaroo.
We ended up purchasing some ground Elk, bacon, a couple monster Striploin steaks and a few of the daily special seasoned steaks for that night on the BBQ. And I must say the bacon was the best I have ever had.
They also have a good selection of spices, rubs, and sauces.
With Thanksgiving coming up we might just get our Turkey form there as well or one of the huge fresh chickens instead.

I just discovered this store in the east end and was delighted with its small-​town feel. It is a family-​owned business that sells meat, produce, frozen food and a selection of other specialty items. Most of their meat comes from a local Hutterite colonies in Alberta and have no MSG, wheat or grain products. Meat is ages 21 days and there are no steroids or growth hormones used, so you know what you’re getting. You can bulk-​buy frozen meat and prices are quite reasonable. A fresh rib-​eye steak was on for $ 3.98 a piece the day I went in, and they seem to have random specials like that to keep customers coming back. I liked some of the frozen items they had, like a tray of frozen ready-​to-​eat omelettes with veggies and cheese and TV dinners for a dollar a tray. This is also a great place to get your Christmas turkey, and support local agriculture while you’re at it.
