Lanier’s Meat Market

One of best kept secrets in Augusta. Fresh high quality meats at reasonable prices, and the service is superb. The place is very clean. If you don’t see what you need, just ask. They will make any cuts for you. We bought ox tails to cook Phở & other beef cuts. They were out of beef soup bones when we were there. I plan to get some prime roast rib. They also have angus beef. Awesome place.

I’ve been here a few times now and it’s really hit or miss. The steaks you get here for $ 5.99 are thin and pretty much what my friend Patrick calls «mystery meat.» My husband found it really difficult to eat due to the gristle and lack of marbling.
I ordered 5 lbs. of thin sliced ribeye for sandwiches and waited a good long time watching the chaos around the counters. People weave in and out and practically elbow each other instead of using a number system. They offer a lot of bulk sales but be careful ’cause you don’t know what you’re really walking out with.
My 5 lbs. of ribeye were more like bottom round roast. They wrap their meat in white butcher paper and cut it in the back so you really can’t inspect what they’ve got. I still come by for alligator tails but I won’t be coming back for beef anymore.

I have had a pleasant experience in my dealings with Lanier’s. I have been getting my meat especially ribeye steaks from Lanier’s for the past few months. Prices are great and i have found the meat quality to be good as well. The store is clean and staff are helpful. I see that the owner responds to most of the posts — so i have a question/​request. I am increasingly concerned with getting hold of beef, lamb and chicken that is antibiotic free and added hormone free — grass fed a plus — am guessing your meat does not fall in this category as i don’t see any signs or labeling to this effect — is that right? Second question any way for you to get a hold of such meat? Please let me know if this is possible — thank you!

I’ve been shopping here for about 6 months now. I’m an army wife on a fixed budget. When I first started shopping here, we would buy the bundle packages of meat. The hamburger meat wasn’t «lean», but I wasn’t expecting the best with the bundle. I would say it rated at first 80% lean. Now, it’s gotten fattier. The taste is fine, as long as we drain. The family steaks are very tough. So I now try to avoid them if possible. I usually substitute chicken for the family steaks. But, as of lately, the chicken has had a very rotten smell. I asked about it and let the older cashier know we got sick, I was treated as if I was trying to scam them and sent over to the ladies behind the counter. The lady said, «we haven’t had any other complaints. Are you sure it was bad? Cuz the blood sometimes smells that way.», so we’ve decided to stay clear of chicken as well. I was told that if it happens again, I can bring the chicken back. Their pork chops are great as long as you dont get the prepackaged. Again as of lately, they’ve been cutting the chops thin and odd cuts.
When I finally get everything home and repackaged for each meal, having to go back to the store (I live in Grovetown), It’s become more of a hassle.
The frozen vegitable packages are great, as well as their jarred preserves and Jams. I will be going back for those. But I’ve become very discouraged after 6 months of keep trying and changing my order. I’d rather spend the extra money on what I know wont be bad.
As for service, they’re very friendly (outside of concern’s or issues).

We bought t-​bones and ribeyes. I was wondering why it so reasonable. tasted gamey and not aged. great place for dog bones but we bought a bunch of steaks and hated the taste.

First time visitor today. The staff was super helpful and grateful that we visited. One of the workers even have us some of the sausage just to try. We haven’t actually tried the meat yet, but customer service like that really sets the tone of the experience!

I’ve been here twice and both times had exceptional service and quality. The second time I went with my husband and he was amazed by the great service, the staff is very polite and knowledgeable, the store is very neat and clean. Keep up the great job guys!!!

Felt like a kid in a candy shop. The selection was fantastic. They have a little bit of everything in extraordinary quantity. The staff was knowledgeable and beyond polite. We did the variety package and were able to sub out for meats we wanted. The 5 for 19.99 is a steal for sides and fixins. They even threw in a free sauce to try as well. I will definitely be coming back.

Went to lanier for first time last Saturday, will not buy my meat anywhere else. The staff here makes it a pleasure to spend my money here, they are great as well as my steaks. The very first thing my husband and I commented on when walking into store, was that it didnt smell! I’m having trouble getting specials on my phone, HELP

I’ve been twice and both times I’ve received exceptional service and meat. The first time I got brisket. The marbling on brisket flats is usually spotty and most of the time when bought from supermarkets, the fat cap is not very thick nor very present. This flat was great. Marbling was present and the fat cap was great. Thoroughly enjoyed smoking it and it turned out really well.
The second time I got a pork belly for homemade bacon. The belly had plenty of actual meat with just the right amount of fat. The bacon turned out exceptionally well.
All in all, this place is great. I fully believe they really care about what they sell and their customers. Keep up the good work!

Not what I expected. New to Augusta but the place wasn’t as selective with its meats as I thought it might be. One small display counter with fresh cut meat but the Bison I requested came frozen. If I wanted ground lamb I had to give notice — they would thaw the lamb debone, grind the meat and I’d have it within 48 hours after I placed the order.
Frozen items were frog legs and ample veggies. Veggie prices are good with most packages in pound size.
Not a very versatile place for the person wanting special fresh, ready to cook meats quickly. Beef yes. Other options less.

What is that smell? It smelled so awful inside that I almost went immediately back out. The floors are filthy as are the areas wherr the meat is sold. Most of the clientele were shopping on their ebt. I didn’t see much about the quality that I was expecting. Steaks were cut too thin for what they are supposed to be. Just overall disappointed. I would never want to eat anything from there based soley on the awful rancid smell of the place.

More affordable, better quality, and as fresh as it gets compared to your local supermarket
