Dickman's Meat & Deli - Tucson, Arizona

Man...if you want meat, you can get anything here. They had a great staff who helped me in my selections and gave me tips on preparing the selections. The also have the best prices on hamburger in town right now. You'll love it as long as you can deal with the meat market aroma...if you know you know.

Awesome selection, Ugly steak $15.99 / LB, Pheasant sausages $15.99 / 4, Rabbit sausages in white wine $16.99 / 4, El Diablo 40 LB charcoal bag, $26. You pay the price for what you get! Everything is high quality and an amazing selection. I would recommend going to the other location as they have a bigger selection. They butcher game in house there and have way more. Ugly steak is very good. I usually buy one for myself @ 8 oz for ~$8.

The ugly steak is by far one of the best steaks I've ever had. It turned almost every non steak enjoyer into an ugly steak lover!

Michael was wonderful! First time in, made me feel welcome. Got 4 Ugly steaks and 3 Strips. Venison and Elk meat sticks for the kids snacks (they loved them).

Absolutely the Best! Coming from the Pacific Northwest we are used to first class beef. After retiring and moving to Arizona we couldn’t palet the beef sold at Safeway or Fry’s. It’s as if the beef they sell are old dairy cows that stop producing milk. We tried several butchers in the Tucson area but none of them impressed us. That is until we stumbled across the home of the “Ugly Steak” Dickman’s Meats. They are amazing. Super friendly, explain the different cuts and out of this world taste and quality. Of course we love the Ugly Steak, but we also get the Steak Box and the Deluxe Bundle. Its well worth the hours drive

The staff here are all stars. They put together over 100 steaks in less than 3hrs with last minute notice. Their prices are really good and the quality of their meats and deli items a phenomenal!!

It makes me sad to write this because I’ve been going there for years but lately I feel I had been ripped off. The other day I went to get some ground beef. It looked real fresh and pink in the case. They get my order from the back where I can’t see it. When I got it home its old brown and terribly oxidised , it smelled terrible. They pulled a bait and switch on me which I do not appreciate. For what they charge I expect to
Get What I see in the case.

Dickman's has a great variety of meats, seasonings, and the like. I highly recommend checking them out for your meaty and miscellaneous food needs. I have had experiences with some of the employees not being the most friendly, but I accepted that as them being quite busy (because they're so good!). Today, however, I saw a bespectacled, red headed employee pull hair from her shirt and struggle to get it off her hand (which she was using to mix ground beef bare handed). She then placed those same hands that she had removed the hair from her shirt with to mix and place meat into the display case. As I was staring in disbelief, the employee asked if I had been helped. I told her yes and asked about her not washing her hands in these circumstances. When asked about this, the employee was visibly upset and asked if I wanted her to wash her hands. Wanted her? No. Not if it's not normal, just let me know so my expectations aren't outside reality.

As a layman, seeing other employees with gloves on may have given me incorrect information about the cleanliness protocols of a butcher shop, namely Dickman's. I can admit that. The gloved employee who made my sandwich today explained that pulling things from your home clothing and removing them with your hands and continuing to work is not frowned upon or abnormal. The employee who asked if I wanted her to wash her hands did so while evidencing her distaste.

Learning that this behavior is normal, I asked to apologize to the employee I had spoken with who was now washing her hands, as I did not wish to upset anyone. I was genuinely concerned and appalled that someone would pull dirt or bodily debris (hair) from their personal clothing (employee confirmed uniforms are not sent out for cleaning and are washed at home) and mix and stock meat for customers without even wiping or washing their hands. She declined my apology.

Your mileage may vary. I hope it does.

P.S. Do cook your meats! Just in case.
