Friendly staff, great prices on meat! What more could you ask for? Sure it's an old building but its fantastic, highly recommended.

Fast, friendly and fairly priced. A neighbourhood institution for good reason. Not just for meat eaters — a nice selection of fruit pies and cheeses too.

Friendly, nice staff and good selection. I have to travel out of my way to get there but it was worth it and will go again. They had a product I'd not seen for about 20yrs. Black pudding. It tasted how I remembered. They had Cajun sausage and blackforrest ham of which I made jambalaya. I saw too they had Cornish hens. The souvlaki was very good.
Person with me got lamb burger, some sausages, and rosemary chicken. They loved it all though didn't find the spicy elk as spicy as they thought.
They do the legion meat draws. Always excellent stuff. One acquaintance won a bundle of several meat pies and gave me a turkey one. It was really good. Though there large meat pies are nice I liked the small pie variety pack.
There store is very nice but small. It gets busy and gets a bit hard to move around in. Nice to see it was busy though.

The staff is very friendly and helpful. There is a good selection of mainstream cuts of meat and there are also other less ordinary things which are actually gourmet some of which include ox-tail, chicken liver, also frozen shrimp and prawns. Also they sell a Hungarian smoked sausage which is really delicious.You can also buy eggs and milk as well as condiments. Actually it beats the heck out of the bigger stores that have lineups and bad parking. The only thing you can’t get are vegetables and bread.I will support Rio Friendly Meats before I go to a big chain store.

Their turkey vegetable pie is absolutely amazing, prices have gone up a little bit it's a worthwhile treat and is two meals for myself for under $20. Very friendly staff, accommodating and chatty! Tons of selection of different meats if you're looking for buffalo, lamb etc along with the regular beef, pork and chicken options. They also have frozen perogies. Stuffed potatoes, sandwich meats and lots of spices, sauces etc. And there's lots of little markets like Donalds within a block to pick up everything else you need for groceries, bonus free parking lot which is amazing for Vancouver, just around the block in the back.
