We get pastured beef from a local rancher who happens to use Steve's as their butcher. The beef is awesome, but Steve's meat market leaves something to be desired. Every time I call to arrange details with our order they act as if they are too busy to talk and I'm annoying them. They don't include the bones and organ meats that are supposed to come with the order unless I demand them when I pick up the meat, and then they act as if I'm imposing on them. The meat itself looks like it's been hacked up with a chain saw. I know it all cooks the same, but it's not very appetizing to look at. On the other hand, the ground beef we got is the best I've ever had--it's not too fatty & not too dry and has a nice texture--but that could be due to the cow and not the butcher. Steve's seem to have good variety to choose from and decent prices, but they are not the most pleasant people to do business with.
Pros: prices decent, quick to prepare product
Cons: meat mangled, terrible phone service
