We purchase a pig or quarter cow every year. We have been very happy with the meat each time. In addition, the seasoning of the bacon and sausage is gluten free, which is very important for us. I would definitely recommend them for meat.
Worth the 1.5 hour drive from Bozeman and the price is very fair. We got so much meat back from our elk in less than 2 weeks. These guys have it down. I really like the packaging and labeling of the different cuts. Great customer service. Keep up the good work! For comparison purposes: We took another elk to a different processor in Bozeman, (Happle's) they took over a month to even start cutting it, then called me to say that it was a loss. The bloodshot had spoiled the meat and it smelled really bad. No kidding. And their price was 300 dollars more than Montana city meats charged us for a way bigger elk. That's a story for another review, but night and day difference to say to least.
I started using Montana City Meats last year and have been very happy with the results. Gary provides a great service at reasonable rates and treats every animal as if it was his own big game harvest. I have no doubts that the meat I am getting back is mine and was cared for from start to finish.
Gary provides quality product along with top tier customer service. He told us where our meat was coming from and did a full tour of his facility. We will be back! Thanks, Gary.
Do with this what you will; I brought a quartered, skinned, and "game bagged" ELK to Montana City Meats. For the grand total of $478.95 for basic cuts, burgers and steaks. I was charged a re-skinning fee and no weight was taken.
We had several months into feeding two of our beef when the processor we had lined up backed out on us last minute. We found Montana City Meats online and Gary was able to fit us into his schedule quickly. He is charismatic and proud of his business and it shows in his work. We got our beef back within a few weeks all vacuum packed and neatly labeled. I see some reviews where people are disappointed in his pricing, but as the age old saying goes “you get what you pay for.” When you spend months feeding an animal and paying for feed, I don’t mind paying a little extra to have it processed in a clean facility I can trust. Definitely will be back. Thanks to Gary for a job well done.
Great job Garry and Montana City Meats! We found ourselves scrambling to find a butcher for our family-raised two steers and two heifers and came across Montana City Meats. Our prior processor was shut down and we were in a panic. Not only did Garry get us in, but scheduling through his website was a breeze. All steps of the process were professional, and the final product was excellent: professionally shrink-wrapped and clearly labeled, all cuts specifically identified and dated, and a great overall return on our investment. I grilled T-bones for my wife’s birthday several days ago and she said she has never had better. We highly recommend Montana City Meats!
Montana City Meats is the only place I will be sending my beef for butcher anymore. After getting left high and dry by Tizer Meats, and standing in their empty lot with 7 beef scheduled and not a sole to be found. I was able to get ahold of Garry. He dropped everything and helped us out. He called in his butchers at 6:00pm that night to start working on our beef. They had already stopped taking domestics and were switching over to get ready for wild game, but understanding the horrible situation we had been left in by Tizer, he came to our rescue! This man is an absolute god send! If it wasn't for him and his amazing crew we would be out thousands of dollars!
Dropped off venison for grinding, got it a couple days later in very nice condition. Nice grinding technique, good amount of suet. Had to vacuum seal a lot of it myself which I didn't expect - I assume they ran out of vacuum packaging or something. I'm not going to sweat that kind of stuff, though. These are the only guys processing whole animals during the 2020 rifle season in this part of the state so they're under a lot of pressure; full parking lot every time I visit. Nice folks who run the place, too. Odds are good I'll be seeing them again in 2021.
Wife and I picked up a few ribeye's for Valentine's Day. Some of the best steaks we have ever had. Seasoned with only salt and pepper and it was perfect. Will absolutely be back and purchasing other products!
RIPPED US OFF. 2600.00 DOLLARS WE ORDERED, whole hog and 1/2 beef. Didn't even fill my freezer.Going to BBB, he should be shut down. Just another case of Veterans being taken advantage of. We are both senior. He even called wanted us …
Gary was amazing I got 2 lbs of bison ,a tour of the facility ,as well as some history about what brought him here. Dinner was fabulous. I look forward to picking up more bison next time I come through Montana City!
Ridiculous price to grind deer meat into burger. Bashed Tizer Meats saying they never give you back your own meat. This comment came from a kid that said he used to work for Rider meats. We were very disappointed and would never go back. Rider Meats are reputable, great people to do business with. Steer clear of Montana City Meats.
First time customer with MCM and couldn't be happier! Great turn around time on a WT doe that I brought to them in November, even though the shop was packed! Grilled up some backstraps this past weekend and was amazed at the care taken in …
Fast friendly service his flexible schedule worked great for us and our hog was packaged so professionally it was amazing I'll be happy to do business with them again! I would recommend Gary and his employees to anyone and everyone! Thank you guys for making the whole process easy!
Gary was super nice and helpful. The quality of the dog food grinds I got from him are fantastic. Highly recommend this place if you are looking for a local raw feeding source!
Montana City Meats truly cares and takes pride in the processing of the meat. With detail and attention, they handle your product in a very clean and sanitary environment. That is extremely important to me!
This is our second year with Gary and we are completely happy. We'll go back again when we run out next year. The pork is awesome and the beef is, too. Thanks Gary!
Garry - we tried the chipotle breakfast sausage this morning - wow! Just the right flavor and really tender. Can’t wait to try more of your product …
Great quality meat at a fair price. What you drop off is exactally what you get back. No community grind pile for wild game like some processors. Friendly service as always.
