Butchers in Oklahoma City, OK

“I went down to their store to use a gift card I had. Everyone there was so friendly and helpful. One of the owners helped me with picking out meats. He helped me make the best choices for what I wanted. Each box comes with cooking instructions too. The ribs and fillets have such a flavorful taste. The best I have ever had. I will definitely be going back”

“Had to stop by and try their chopped brisket THURSDAY ONLY special!

Bill Kamp's meat market has only been around a short time -- since 1910 -- so they know a thing or two about meat. If fresh cut meat of just about any type is called for in your menu, they have it. The store itself is a throwback to butcher shops of bygone days, with various meats, seasonings, cheeses, side dishes, and related items -- everything you'd need for a great cook out, dinner, or feast.

But I digress...y'all are here about the sandwich.

Listen, this thing started out impressive and only got better. When the butcher pulled the slab of brisket out and dropped it on the counter and the walls shook, I knew this was some SERIOUS brisket. He proceeded to hack off a chunk of the slab, grab a knife and start chopping. As he did so, I thought "oh, he must be preparing some for other sandwiches, too.

Nope. Just mine.

My thought as he began piling the chopped brisket was "that's got to be a pound of brisket there". This was confirmed when the six inch high sandwich was placed on the scale for me to take it from, and it showed 1.02 pounds.

Ever get pre-meat sweats from a sandwich? Because I did.

This is a to go counter, and I knew there was no way this sandwich would make it home, nor would I with that smell in the car. Thankfully, there were a couple of tables outside that I commandeered. If you lack willpower, have a seat and enjoy!

The meat was moist and tender, flavorful, and excessive. Like this is two meals worth, folks. But it's so good, it won't last that long. The sandwich itself was nothing fancy, or showy-- just classic and delicious. A buttered and lightly toasted bun attempted to contain the brisket, and the sauce? Straight up Head Country. No special, crazy, secret sauce--just an Oklahoma tradition. (Granted, the brisket didn't need it, and can be ordered without it).

So, if you're in the north OKC area on a Thursday, head over to 7310 N. Western and stop in Bill Kamp's for their amazing chopped brisket sandwich.

And while you're there, pick up some chorizo... :)

NOTE : The first photo is my actual sandwich--not some made for a photoshoot prop. This is the size sandwich you get. You have been warned.”

“Hands down best filet cut I’ve ever had in my entire life. When you’re in San Diego you eat fish, when you’re in Oklahoma you eat steak, and there’s no better place to get steak than firebirds! Brenda was incredibly nice and exceptionally helpful when I called ahead of time. I can’t say enough good things about the meat here. It’s worth the drive, trust me.”

“I've been going to wheelers over 20 years nothings changed daryn & the team always have taken care of me & the meats always fresh i no longer live in the city but I still drive an hour to get my meat for the month!”

“Consistent and distinct, Schwab Meats made in Oklahoma (MIO) meats have starred in Coit's and Love's menus and so many other restaurants and convenience stores or venues like church or sports fundraisers for years. This is a taste locals crave. Linked to professional and college sports venues. Items are available in local grocers, but are also available at the point of manufacture on Linwood just West of downtown OKC. You can now order online too, and can ship these hickory smoked favorites across the country. This makes great corporate gifts, representing good will, or just a taste of the Southwest. Schwab offers everyday faves like hot dogs and the classic brick chili. But they also offer specialty meats, like holiday ham, turkey or beef. I personally am hoping for T-Shirts. :) Thanks y'all.”

“Good looking meat, really good prices, friendly staff. The meat was as good as it looked, it was better even. Definitely coming back, and I plan on making a habit of it.”

“There isn’t a better spot to purchase steaks from. I have bought these steaks for people out of town and they are always a hit. I love the seasoning mix. I love the potatoes that come with filets. Personally- I eat the ribeye burgers like they are going out of style… but every time I take a bite of anything from Rhett’s I end up smiling with gratitude that this premium butcher is in town!”

“We bought a huge marinated pork burrito. It had spanish rice, refried beans, cilantro and onions on it. It was delicious and very filling. We also bought some marinated riblets from the fresh meat market. We grilled them and they were also delicious! We like this store. Its has alot of selection and great prices.”

“This location which used to be Grider's over 10 years ago, then became Buy For Less, and is now La Michoacána. Here you can get fresh produce, birthday cakes, and cool piñatas. We do jewelry repair not by the entrance but at the blanket kiosk isle 9.”
