David’s Meat Market

This is a locally owned butcher shop that’s been around, ever since I can remember. Because of our desire for 1 stop shopping, this is a dying art form. No you can not buy a package of socks here while you wait for your oil to be changed, & grabbing your steak for dinner, THANK GOD! This small shop sells meat, a small selection of cheese & even smaller selection of produce. The meat is fresh, cut and ground with care. If you love to cook, love to grill or love to eat, you should try buying your meat from a local butcher. Go to David’s.

A really interesting little place, and willing to grind up some pork for me. My pork pie has never tasted better.
Back home I’m used to being able to get whatever meats I want right at the grocery store, so I had never actually been to a butcher before. David’s staff made it such a pleasant experience that I may have to do so more regularly.

Love the service and the meats here ! Years as a quality family owned business really shows… very patient when I have questions or need prep ideas. Not as expensive as other Meat markets.

The smell when u walk in the door is wonderful … And then the prices r to rich for my blood. $ 27.00 pound for filet mignon just to damn pricy wish I could rate on taste but looks like that will never happen if I can afford the meat.

Great place for quality meats

We’ve bought lots of meats from here, more recently since it’s Summer and it’s the time for grilling. The ribeyes are like butter and sooo tender and just overall amazing. The marbling on those things just allow for an overall great product. The bacon is really great too and not too salty. Everything from here seems to be edible gold :) However, the downside is that it’s a bit pricey but definitely worth it in my opinion. The staff is very accommodating and knowledgable, and the family is more than welcoming to share recipes with you! I bought a 3 lb prime rib there once and got convinced to try their mother’s prime rib rub and recipe. Turned out pretty good even though I accidentally overcooked it which was entirely my fault… human error :/

I typically get called on to smoke the main dish for our large holiday family diners. Naturally this is a bit stressful. If the meat is bad or the smoking gets flubbed it ruins the occasion.
I feel bad for not reviewing these guys before! Simply put they are fantastic. Every piece of beef, pork, and now raw ham. That I have gotten from them has been excellent.
My latest purchase was a raw ham. Devon, like his father got me a beautiful cut of meat. They made my job of curing it and smoking it child’s play.
Buy with confidence! These guys are honest and offer wonderful products. And this is coming from a meat snob!

I don’t get a chance to visit David’s very often, coming from Fort Worth is a nightmare. However, I’ll journey there tomorrow and will end up with something for the grill. Additionally, David and I have been friends since we were in grade school in El Paso, The boy and the man have the highest integrity and I trust his judgment in not just meats but in making life decisions. I love you Bro…

Great place. Hadn’t been there for a few years (pre-​Yelp) until a recent visit. Friendly, knowledgeable, helpful service. I was just buying a sirloin steak for stroganoff, but they seemed to have a very wide selection of high quality steaks and other cuts. Only prime and choice. Devon offered to slice the meat for me. Overall excellent experience. A little expensive but worth it. Wish they were closer to W side of North Dallas or Plano; I’d be there all the time.

So my husband and I are sitting on the back porch discussing Ham and Thanksgiving and this place came up in conversation. I would rather give ZERO stars.
Several years ago we ordered pork to cure into a ham but when we got it, it was already cooked and placed in a box with a higher sticker price than what we should have been charged. It was supposed to be RAW. And the weight on the meat was less than what the box said.
When we contacted the store they blamed the transaction on us and would not give us a discount or replacement. Never would we go back to them again. They are seriously rude and non-​negotiable people.

Awesome butcher shop! Jalapeño & cheese hamburger patties are fantastic~ they also have something called chicken supreme (stuffed chicken breast) so good!
Staff is courteous and attentive. I shop here all the time!

My first time going there and couldn’t be happier!
First, when I called to ask if they had franks for hot dogs, the gentleman who took my call was *perfect*!! He said «Yes, ma’am and we have the best franks made right here», showing me he was really proud of it. Score!!! Nothing makes me more willing to go to a business than a proud employee/​owner!
The store is super clean, super organized. Really impressed by that. I bought my franks (delicious, by the way! Smoky flavored, awesome) and then I asked the guy if they had beef for carpaccio (rare to find in States). He said yes and cut PERFECT thin slices for me, put in a perfect package. Score Score Score!!! And on top of that, suggested me a great place to buy buns for my hotdog (I needed very big buns).
They are so super nice, excellent customer service! I am already recommending the place to all my friends.

Okay, if you have never been to David’s Meat Market, you’re missing out on something special. Not only do they have every cut of meat you need but the Harris family treats you like one of theirs from the moment you enter the door. Their ribeyes will melt in your mouth, chicken supreme is divine (ask Pat how to cook them), Iowa pork chops are so tender and juicy, and THE best bratwursts in the metroplex. (Just don’t tell any of his competitors) Oh, as another treat, try their hot dogs. No kidding! They make these things with REAL beef! No guessing on where’s the beef in these dogs. They taste more like steak dogs instead of tubes of nitrates and fillers. The other great thing about David’s, they will take call ahead special orders. Places like David’s make you want to do business with a local, family owned business like this establishment.

I have been a loyal customer for over 15 years, and have never had a bad cut of meat in that whole time. My hubby will only eat David’s brat’s (he makes his own sausages). All around old fashion butcher who is customer oriented. His beef is from Iowa so how can you lose?

Fantastic little meat market! My dad was a butcher for a period of time and I learned about meat from him, and usually frequent grocery stores that will cut my meat personally for me to my specifications. However, when I want to splurge on REALLY GOOD QUALITY MEAT, I look for a meat market.
I stopped by when I decided to forego the backed up traffic on 75 and skip up Jupiter to East Plano instead. Since it was just after Christmas, they still had their way cute windows painted in a Winter Wonderland scene. I was giggling at the sign on the door advising people to «Take their Deer to the Rear». I was greeted by a friendly guy who turned out to be Devon, the owner’s grandson, and we commenced a discussion about their meat on offer. I was in the mood for ribeyes, having eaten an inordinate amount of ham over the Christmas holiday and the meat here did NOT disappoint! I got two prime ribeyes, and picked up some smoked sausage and Mexican chorizo as well to try.
The ribeyes were over an inch thick and melt in your mouth tender, with just the right amount of fat on them. Since our broiler isn’t working that well, I pan fried them to a medium rare goodness in a bit of butter and seasonings. OMG goodness!
The smoked sausage, which we had last night, was very flavorful and preferred over the kielbasa that you can get in the normal grocecry store.
The Mexican chorizo was the biggest surprise. Other than going to a Mexican market nearby (which I have done), I haven’t found a good chorizo for a long while. The ones in the Mexican markets are good, but still lacking flavor at times. David’s was not only surprisingly good, but very meaty and lacking filler. Yay! I hate it when cereal is added to it. But the most surprising quality about it was the taste. I tasted heat and flavor for once and an excellent combination of spices, and it was very lean too! Will be going back to sample a bit more of their meats and sausages I think. Also going to check into whether they make South African boerwors or Portugese linguica — I happen to have the recipes for these and maybe they’ll make some up. :-)

David, grandson Devon & their staff are true professionals who KNOW what they’re doing.
I’ve been buying steaks there for 2 years, got an über-​nice prime rib on short notice for Christmas 2009. They told me to come in early in the fall and pre-​order a dry-​aged one this year. WOW. I served a full 12-​pounder (7-​bone) dry-​aged prime rib for a table of ten friends and family at our house. It was beyond delicious — ALL rave reviews, like three folks saying «the best darn prime rib I’ve EVER had» (and they probably had over 100 years of eating prime-​rib between them!)
So yes, go here! Ask questions! Learn the simple joy of ordering great cuts in a superb family-​owned & operated butcher shop! Hunters, get your dang deer dressed. Foodies be prepared for some truly fantastic meals that will make you understand how absolutely LAME even high-​end Supermarket meat products are.

Have you ever watched some of the more stuffy shows on the Food Network (no, I’m not hatin’) and hear them direct you to your local butcher for a specific cut or trim? For some reason, I don’t associate that type of service at the big chain grocery stores and although Central Market is great and has a huge display case, you KNOW you’re gonna pay out the ass for it!
Then there’s David’s — a terrific little find on the very edges of Garland/​Richardson. I asked if I could have a sirloin tip roast thinly sliced for Philly steaks and Devon started hand slicing that beautiful hunk of meat as thinly as possible — yes, by hand. Told me to call ahead next time so I wouldn’t have to wait the whole 3 or 4 minutes that it took him to do it. Lots of different types of sausages, ready-​made meats, etc.
Definitely worth the trip, and can you guess where I head to after I leave here??? Yep — GRIFF’S — a few blocks down the road!!! Worth the road trip to meet your friendly local butcher!

I’ve been going to David’s Meat Market for several years and I have always been very pleased with the quality, service and cleanliness of the establishment.
I love the fact that I can go in and find exactly the cuts of meat I want and be out in a few minutes.
The service is friendly and knowledgable!

David’s meat market is located on the northbound side of Jupiter between Beltline and Arapaho. It’s in a small strip center and David has a loyal following.
David gets outstanding meat and he butchers it well. There is the requisite smoked meats and sausages and David is always willing to advise on how a given cut will cook best, based on what he started with.
The only reason I didn’t give five stars is because I sometimes wish David had a wider selection. Still, by and large, this is one of the Dallas sides’ better meat markets.
