Hyde Park Fine Meats & Catering

This is the only place in Cincinnati where you can get chicken skin by the pound!

This is a handy place to have just around the corner — I can pick up a few groceries without having to go into one of the big supermarkets nearby. Nice selection of dinner items to take home and finish cooking or use as ingredients, such as their house-​made meatballs and sausages.

I will never buy meat from a super market chain again! You think chicken tastes the same no matter where you buy? Wrong!!! I bought my first order of chicken breasts from Hyde Park Meats and the flavor and texture isn’t even comparable to a typical grocery store. There was no fat to trim because they already trimmed them up for me. They were so juicy and tender and the flavor was so rich! I even went and got wings from them for the super bowl. Meatiest wings ever and worth every penny. I have also bought beef tenderloin from them as well. Don’t even get me started on the awesomeness we had for dinner that night! Not to mention the convenience of calling ahead, placing your order, pulling right up in front, and being in and out in a matter of minutes. They also have wonderfully fresh produce. If it isn’t fresh it’s not displayed. They also have pre made meals and desserts. Hyde park meats really is a one stop shop not to mention the Mayberry feel you get when you walk into the store. They know all the «regulars» names which provides and very friendly and welcoming environment! Love this place!

Was very nervous going to a butcher shop for the first time. I don’t know much about cuts of meat, or how much to get. The employees were VERY helpful. The owner even gave me a lesson, in what kind of pork I should buy. Will definitely be going back here.
No sugar bacon! YES!

TRY THE KIELBASA.
The owner of Hyde Park Fine Meats & Catering is an experienced chef, so the creations that you find in the case are not only the best, most fresh cuts of meat, but the mixed salads are finely crafted, and the homemade meatloaf and meat salads are so exceptionally tasty. If all you need is a quick grocery trip, they stock a small convenience store and produce stand to go along with your chops, steaks, links, and filets. This is now our go-​to butcher in the area — we have yet to try ANYTHING from this butcher that is anything but exceptional.
Also, TRY THE KIELBASA. We’ve tried each of their links and dogs (they’re wonderful), but the kielbasa is the best I’ve ever had.

Great butcher, great meat.
After patronizing another area butcher (with a rotten attitude) for a few years we decided to look for another butcher. This is a great find and the owner is friendly and helpful. A great combination.
We highly recommend them and if you have any special needs, call in advance and he will get what you need.

This local deli is under new ownership and still a little raw but super friendly and a nice hidden gem. They offer a wide variety of lunch meats and cheeses and their sandwiches are delicious and a solid value at $ 6 dollar. Add chips and a drink for another $ 1 and you got yourself nice little lunch.
Try the horsey cheese and mayo! Nom nom.

Awesome experience! Everyone was so nice and helpful! I was even given cooking tips! My husband and I will definitely be making Hyde Park Fine Meats and Catering a frequent stop!

I just visited Hyde Park Meats for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. It is a great little market with excellent quality steaks and good service. The prices are a little higher than the supermarket but in this case you definitely get what you pay for. Their prosciutto is particularly good, competitively priced, and they actually know how to slice it. I am looking forward to going back and trying the mortadella. One complaint I have is with their Italian Wedding Soup. It was bland tasting and hardly had any greens or meatballs in it. Other than that, I recommend Hyde Park Meats wholeheartedly!

Great old fashioned store. The meatballs are out of this world. If you need something pop on in. No long lines or endless wandering trying to find some simple thing

I have not been a big fan of the grocery stores here in Cincinnati. It might be the only thing that is good about Youngstown, but… Y-​town has some amazing family owned grocery stores, markets, and delis that have spoiled me and allowed me to reach relatively high levels of foodsnobbery. I’ll share in future reviews.
Anyways, I’ve been driving and walking by family-​owned Hyde Park Meats for over a year now, and finally dropped in this evening to check it out. I was not disappointed.
It’s a relatively small market, and the main attraction is the deli counter. Service is by number, but since I was the only customer at the time I was promptly greeted and served. Meats included everything from steaks, roasts, sausages, whole chickens and pork chops to deli meats, Margherita pepperoni (yum!) and a respectable selection of Italian salami. A small selection of slice-​able deli cheeses was also available, as well as an array of prepared foods — the homemade meatballs and lasagna looked fantastic.
Opposite the deli counter is a cooler section with some veggies, eggs, milk, and drinks. Grocery selection was small but adequate: canned tomato sauce (even the super-​large cans!), snacks, breads. I think I saw some jars of olives in there as well.
The service was friendly and helpful from when I walked in to the moment I walked out. I never receive that kind of service at Kroger. Even if the prices are slightly higher than the chains, that small amount is worth it when you factor in the quality of the meat and personalized, friendly service. For a little bit of fun — If you don’t mind giving your name and phone number to the store, you can enter the monthly drawing at the deli counter for a free beef tenderloin :)

I don’t buy a lot of meat, but when I do, I get it from Hyde Park Meats. This is the type of family owned, local business that makes a neighborhood more than just a bunch of people living in the same place.
There is absolutely nothing pretentious about this place. They sell quality food and treat their product with care and attention. In addition to top-​notch beef, pork, and deli meat, they also have all kinds of salads, spreads, sauces, and (sometimes) soups. They also have a decent selection of other kitchen staples like bread, canned goods, milk, eggs, produce, beer, and wine.
It can be a little pricey, if you compare it with a place like Kroger, but when was the last time someone at Kroger asked if they could help you and really seemed like they wanted to do it? At HPM, they really want to.
