Great selection of all types of meat. Steaks cut to order while you wait. Delicious quality meats and very fair prices. The place is in a sketchy part of town.

A very impressive meat market with a wide variety of proteins and sides. They seem to have everything with excellent service and competitive pricing. I had a delicious porterhouse steak, cut for BBQ.

Jim (the owner) is great guy who likes to have a good conversation while we unloaded. Made the work easier and enjoyable.

I will never buy anything from this place again. Poor quality meat! Very disappointed for Thanksgiving on my Pork products. Over priced and quality from where they purchase their meats from is poor.

Old fashioned place. Good prices. Could use some updates in regards to store and meats offered. Maybe add some stuffed custom burgers for example. Great staff and very very friendly. Thanks.

Caught one of the butchers stealing steaks when I bought the whole rack. I watched him cut 21 steaks from the rack I bought... He came out with 14, put them on the counter and slithered off. I told them they can keep that and walked out on a $400 order... Beware, they think they're slick!!! Not here👎🏾

They eere closed and almost out of meat, but the butcher let me in when I told him I had traveled from out of town to avoid predicted bad weather. He went through the little bit they had left and found a piece of meat that would feed my family. Compassion and great service, coupled with first rate meat, keeps me coming back here.

Good meat market with a good variety of products. Best place to get a Hatfield semi-boneless smoked ham. They are the best. I've been buying them there for 30+ years. They have some ethnic cuts of meat that are hard to find elsewhere. They don't have a good selection of prime beef or lunch meat. Friendly and helpful people.

This is probably one of the best places I have ever been for hot beef sausage. Actually, there is no better beef sausage in this area. Most of the other beef sausages around here seem like you're eating a regular hot dog.

Bought a big chunk of boneless ribeye thst they cut up into a bunch of good sized steaks (16), massive chicken wings, a prime rib roast, veal, etc…. for less than $300. We were going to another local butcher, before, but we got way more for our money at Avon

We love doing business at Avon. The filet mignon and prime rib are excellent. The frozen cleaned and deveined shrimp is always excellent! Don’t miss the opportunity to purchase your steaks, roasts, and seafood at this wonderful market! And the owner and staff are very helpful and service is excellent. Thank you Avon for making our parties a great experience!Donna Bird

Avon has a variety of meats. They are fresh 99.9% of the time. They offer good variety and take special orders. The workers are slow at times. They like to talk a lot. This is a good place to spend your money on quality meats.

The quality of food is very good. The staff is typically very friendly and courteous. However going in this morning 2 staff members were very rude to me. I left almost in tears. Maybe cause they were preparing store for opening. I probably wont be going back anytime soon. Its been to now great experiences....

This Store/Butcher is absolutely amazing! We dealt with Rick (my recommendation) he was extremely knowledgeable and professional! It was our first time to the store and I promise it won't be my last! We had Rick cut us some Prime Strip Steaks....Prime Filets and I must say...I'm done going out for a great steak...when we just had one of the best steaks in our lives. We also need to say that everything in this store is fairly priced and of the HIGHEST QUALITY!! One visit to Avon Meats and you will never go anywhere else!! I'm not talking really good.... I'm talking GREAT! Charles and Amanda Sacks, Niskayuna NY

Love this place. If you are looking for a fancy yuppy meat market, Avon is not your place. However, if you want good friendly service, a wide variety of meat, and good prices, Avon is your place.

The area is not the best, the meat selection is outstanding and the prices are hard to beat. I find the quality to cost ratio to be the best of any butcher in the tri-city area with rare exception. That said, Sals has better chicken prices and some of Sals packages offer better deals depending on what you are looking for. This is still my first stop when preparing a BBQ or stocking my freezer. Often watching sale prices allows me to get quality meat cut to my specs for excellent value.

Had a craving for Split pea and Ham soup. Avon came through with the ham hocks! Great bunch of butchers and sooo pleasant. Highly recommend them!

Took great care of me.......good prices for strip steak and rib eyes. I need to spend 200 every time I go. My grandmother bought steak from Avon for 30 years.........I am going for 40..........try them.....you will too.
