Having a large scale Christmas Dinner I needed pork shoulder slice very thin for Tacos Al Pastor. I called a week ahead and was assured I could just walk in. I called 2 days before and was told to put my order in the day of "theyll take care of me no problem". I call 6 hours before put in my order and I'm told everything will be there at the counter. I walk in and am told they have no such order. They cant slice the pork for me and the smallest they had was 2 lbs more than I needed. The person helping me was generally unsympathetic and I was offered nothing to help. Reply: No I'm certain it was the right place. I opened my log and your employee confirmed the phone number matched the stores location. I asked if there was any way it could of been sliced, but apparently it was too late or he didn't feel like it. Pork shoulder is recommended for Al Pastor. Yes it is hard to cut which is why I called several times to ensure the butcher would help.

I have been going to McKinnon's for years and they have a great selection of Poultry, Pork and Meat. The help is always friendly and kind. The young man who works behind the Deli Counter is beyond being kind, he is a great person with more manners than anyone I know. Brian McGovern.

This meat market has been here for as long as can remember. It's now under a new management. And yes, there have been some changes, not necessarily bad. Most former employees are gone, so new people working there, means we new customers , not old ones. Now to quality of the meat, I have had a taste of just about everything they offer. My purchases include, Delmonico, family package of 2-3 , bag of chicken wings, bone in pork chops, family pack, ground beef, bag of about 3-4 lbs. Chicken bone in breast fam. . I would not be shopping here all these years if the quality was not good. Anyway except for the fact prices have risen like everything else the quality A. Price compared to other local chains B+ check it out. Let me know if you agree or not.🙋‍♂️

Great local "mom and pop" meat market. It feels like it's been there forever and has weathered the changes of the neighborhood. Awesome prices and large selection of meats. I was really impressed that instead of being pushed out by the big box BFresh grocery that moved in across the street, they complemented each other (be fresh doesn't offer the selection of meats that McKinnon's does). I wonder how that got negotiated? So, go on in and support our local markets!

Hand sanitizer stations, floor is taped at 6’ intervals, plexiglass dividers at checkouts, customers are generally good about social distancing and one way travel. When necessary, during peak holidays, access is limited and customers line up outside.
