B&D Meat Market - Freeburg, Illinois

We just moved to the area from Indy and this was, by far, the best experience I've ever had with a butcher. If you're going fir the first time, be aware that looks are deceiving and you are indeed in the right place. He has his butcher shop right by his house.

That said, the prices are extremely reasonable and better than store prices. You also get to talk to the person actually doing the work. He doesn't do anything but cash anymore but he does have an ATM to use. I was surprised at the vacuum wrapped meat rather than the paper wrap I'm used to from big city butchers. Needless to say, my expectations for my meat vendors shot up considerably.

10/10 from me and I'll be doing all my meat business here from now on.

Great place to take your deer to for processing to have it boned out or have sausage made. Vacuum seals all your cuts and ground meats, prices are really good. We get the pork there to make sausage every year price is great and they will grind it for you with no extra charge.

Ordered a 5.5lbs boneless prime rib and a 14lbs ham (for the people who won't eat rare meat) for Easter dinner and they were a huge hit. Everyone wanted to know where I got them. Prime rib is prime rib, so everyone complimented it but no one was surprised at how good it was and it was GREAT.

The ham though... "Best ham I have ever had was said more than once." I would like to think some of that credit goes to my glaze or cooking skills but, realistically, it was just a high quality, juicy ham at an excellent price.

This was my first visit to BND and I have found MY meat market. I will certainly be getting most of my meat from there and can't wait to try his other products.

Brad always has the best price on pork, beef, and chicken. I've been going to B&D meats for years and have never been disappointed. Best find I've had since moving to the area!

Was told they only do wholesale.

Great family run meat market. Their products are fresh and authentic. Try the boudin (if there's any left) and you'll see. Make sure you call before heading over to make sure he's not out on deliveries.

Best meat shop ever. Variety and more. Prices alright for your pocket. Family owned. Knowledge of what they do, endless. They know their business. Can access anything you request.

The place where we get all our meat from. Best place in our opinion. They cut the things as you need them, they bag the things as you need it. People are very nice! Great place to go!
