I was working a charity golf tournament today and was fortunate enough to be set up next to this place and they were giving away samples of their marinaded beef tips. Hands down THE BEST meat I have ever had. They have bison, gator, snack, ostrich, and all the regulars as well.

Anyone else been/tried this place? It's right behind Outback off of Kildaire in Cary.

4/24/2010 2:04:44 PM

me and the lady drive by it and say "hey there's that place we should try"

one day we'll actually go in

4/24/2010 2:15:13 PM

they have a whole lot of specialty items there as well

and prices are competitive with the grocery chains

4/24/2010 2:22:05 PM

i dont see anything more exotic than venison on the website, i'd love to have another ostrich filet since getting one at The GameKeeper in Boone

4/24/2010 2:43:11 PM

they had quail, ostrich, venison, rabbit, bison, amongst other things

and i meant specialty sauces, seasonings, a lot of local NC products etc

4/24/2010 2:52:53 PM

the guy today said they just got in some bison strips yesterday, so they're nice and fresh

4/24/2010 4:13:02 PM

holy crap that place looks awesome!
and its right next to my house!

thanks for the info...i shall go there after exams next week

4/24/2010 4:25:29 PM

oic

sounds good. we drove by one day and saw them cooking out front of the place and said "hey, we should try that sometime." maybe we will sometime

4/24/2010 5:22:58 PM

I have heard good things about it as well. It's a chain but its new for around here. Also heard they have some real good balsamic vinegar.

4/24/2010 5:29:18 PM

individually owned franchises

the owner is really nice, he gave me a bunch of free coupons and info.

ANYONE that stops in for the first time gets free samples of their beef tips, so it's worth checking out for that alone

4/24/2010 5:34:35 PM

Picked up some steaks from there today, and I was very impressed with the quality of the meat and the service

4/24/2010 8:08:18 PM

My parents got some steak and chicken there the other week. the steak was marinated in their special rub.


It was slammin. They have been back every weekend.

4/24/2010 8:20:31 PM

got some beef tips, chicken, pork tenderloin, and marinated asparagus today

all for $32 - and it will probably last me the whole week

4/25/2010 10:41:17 PM

wait, so is this a restaurant or grocery store?

4/25/2010 10:43:19 PM

it's a butcher shop. They had some aged USDA prime steaks that looked delicious. I think we're going to hit up the place once i'm done with the patio and ready to grill out.

The Meat House is the Twongo deal of the day

They are offering a $20 voucher for up to 50% off.

My wife and I gave up on buying meat from the local grocery stores and Wal-mart because the selection either sucked or the meat sucked. We started going to a local butcher and have been very happy that we made this choice. Obviously the butcher is a little more expensive, but the steaks, chicken, pork, etc is so much better, easier to cook, and more flavorful.

5/13/2010 8:58:38 AM

Nice - there's one in Charlotte, may need to make a trip out there soon for some Bison meat.

5/13/2010 9:07:41 AM

That's pretty cool they can do custom cuts. I'll probably have to start using this for certain cuts once I move back.

5/13/2010 9:11:11 AM

I'm going to try this place out today and get a nice meat surprise for ScHpEnXeL.

haha that sounds dirty

5/21/2010 3:09:54 PM

I hear the snack is good.

5/21/2010 3:24:01 PM

I got the meat house marinated steak tips, marinated asparagus, and garlic butter corn on the cob

5/21/2010 4:53:09 PM

I'm literally there twice a week

5/21/2010 6:50:27 PM

SO good. We got the burgundy marinated steak tips this weekend, along with our free samples and some cheeses and a baguette. DEFINITELY recommend. We'll be going here more often.

5/23/2010 6:11:46 PM

I'll have to check this out when I get back to the States.

5/23/2010 6:16:01 PM

got cajun chicken breast fillets (baked them, and they were fucking awesome), "Meat House" turkey tips, "Meat House" steak tips, and some bomb ass salsa today.

5/23/2010 8:20:01 PM

ive been there twice and have never been offered any free samples

that buffalo cheese sauce you dip your chips into is pretty amazing

5/23/2010 11:51:21 PM

^you don't get offered free samples


they have stuff cooked for you to sample in a warming tray...

so this free samples talk is just about... some that are in a warming tray? like the chips and salsa?

5/24/2010 12:40:54 AM

they usually have a warming tray set up at the endcaps of most of their isles w beef tips, chicken, turkey etc. and also Salsas, sauces, breads w/ balsamic vinaigrette,

5/24/2010 12:58:43 AM

ah, so i guess its not for "first time visitors" after all, its pretty much anyone who wants to open the lid and eat some, about as exciting as a visit to Sam's club

5/24/2010 1:01:03 AM

how are the prices?

5/24/2010 2:15:11 AM

^^ No, when I went and was ordering from the meat counter they asked if it was my first time in and then gave me a small package of the marinated beef tips (uncooked) for me to take home and try. I saw them do this for a few other people when I was in and when I have been in since.

so it was more exciting if it was a first time visitor's only thing?

i'm headed up there today to get a chicken so i can stick a beer can up it's ass.

5/24/2010 11:44:41 AM

they have the precooked samples in the warming treys but they will also give you ~half a pound of marinated steak tips if its your first time. just ask someone working there a question about something and they'll ask if its your first time and run to the back to get you a sample. i'm a fan.

now THAT is what i was thinking of, i'll have to give that a shot, thanks

5/24/2010 7:43:35 PM

whats the best way to cook steak tips

5/24/2010 9:21:31 PM

frying pan with butter works pretty well.

5/24/2010 9:25:09 PM

troo. didnt know if there was anything more exciting I should do.

5/24/2010 9:33:02 PM

We seared our steak tips on high heat until they got brown (90 seconds on each side) and then popped them in the oven for 15 minutes on 375. Perfectly medium-rare, tender and delicious!

5/24/2010 9:40:24 PM

^I might do that. thanks

5/24/2010 9:41:16 PM

I've got one of those BOGO marinated meat coupons, which two should I select?

Also it sounds like searing them on the stove top then baking them is the preferred way to cook them? Nobody grills them?

8/26/2013 10:41:03 AM

Maple Bourbon is the best and it's not even close

8/26/2013 10:46:52 AM

Wait you're not misguiding me because I was ragging your bump in that other thread are you?

8/26/2013 10:50:42 AM

No - I would eat them every night. In fact I had them last night.

8/26/2013 11:25:43 AM

where does one obtain a BOGO meat house coupon?

Also, I second the maple bourbon marinated steak. Best thing there by far
