Geoff is great. The meats are the best you can get. – You need veal for osso bucco, call Geoff and it will be there when you get there. Any speciality cut of meat is done right, every time. And it will be fresh. Don't be put off by the exterior--no it is not part of the pharmacy. I drive from Buckhead to Emory just to buy meats there.
Amazing Meat Market – When you walk into this little meat market attached to a CVS you think, I'm going to get meat here? Fight those flight urges people, this is meat heaven! Walking in you don't see much, but thats what your friendly neighborhood butcher is for. Make sure you ask the man for the best he has because he will give it to you... and how. I had the best (and I don't say this lightly) THE BEST lamb I have ever had in the 28 years of my life. And by the way, I didn't even like lamb. My butcher made me a total conv... read more
STAY AWAY - RUDE – This butcher shop has just gone over the edge. I have purchased lots from Shield's over the years, and now they are jerks. I called to order a pound of ground veal and a pound of ground pork for pick up the next day. The OWNER (no less) told me that it wasn't a good time and that my order wasn't important because of his Christmas rush (Christmas is still 6 days away). He told me that my request simply wasn't important to him. When I indicated that I was suprised that my business wasn't important (I would h... read more
meats – though ive been out of state for 16 years..not only have i enjoyed many varieties of shields meat market..i also worked there off and on for 5 yrs...now im back and cant believe some of these reviews..geoff,gene,and charles and myself always took the customers first. hopefully i can get down there real soon
Great Service, Great Meat – I've only been to Shields twice, but both times the customer service has been extraordinary. The first time I went there I arrived at 7:01 pm on a Friday night and Geoff (the owner) had just locked the door (they close at 7). He let me in and for all intents and purposes reopened just for me. I came for a steak and he cut a fresh ribeye to my exact specifications. Even then, he didn't try to rush me out - he asked if I needed anything else and even answered some random questions I had about some m... read more
Not pleased with my experience there – I wanted to order a whole pig. Called several places and got a good price quote from Shields. Unfortunately, when I picked up the pig, it was significantly heavier than what was ordered (not entirely their fault - there's a lot of variation when you order a whole pig) but the price they charged me was nearly double the quoted price!! I was not pleased with my experience at Shields. I really prefer the service I've gotten from the meat markets in the Sweet Auburn Curb market. (Incidental... read more
MEATMANNY – WAS LOOKING FOR SOME GOOD SAUSAGES FOR A SANDWHICH. YOU KNOW JUST SAUSAGE ONIONS AND MUSTARD. THESE GUYS ONLY HAD ANDUOILLE SAUSAGE. WHAT KIND OF SELECTION IS THAT. I HAVE NEVER GONE BACK. THE REASON THIS PLACE IS MIGHT BE POPULAR IS THAT IT'S THE ONLY SUPPOSED BUTCHER SHOP AROUND DECATUR. THEY ARENT GOOD . LIKE EDDIE MURPHY SAYS IF YOUR STARVING AND SOMEONE THROWS YOU A CRACKER IT TASTE LIKE THE BEST DARN CRACKER YOU EVER HAD.
No idea why this place is so popular. They don't know meat. – I can't figure it out. After watching FoodNetwork for a decade or so, I know how to make a burger. So I walk in for some ground chuck and the guy behind the counter proudly claims their ground beef as the best. I ask him how much fat is in there (looking for around 15-20%) and he beams, "about 5% or so. You gotta have a little fat in there for flavor." Oooo-k. So I try to make a burger with the beef at home... I can get much better at Publix. I then order some "dr... read more
sometimes great, sometimes not – Shield's is a small meat market that has a small-town feel. The customer service is sometimes very good (friendly and whatnot) and other times its not -- its a gamble!
