Charles Quality Meats - Waterloo, Ontario

Stopped by Charles Quality Meats for the first time and picked up a couple of rib eyes, easily some of the best beef I’ve ever had. Grilled them that evening and the quality was outstanding.

What really stood out was meeting Tony, the owner. He took the time to share his story, their history as a family-run business, their farm, and their roots in the community. You can tell how much pride and passion he has for what he does. It was truly a pleasure to support such an honest, local business.

I’ll definitely be a regular customer going forward. Highly recommend checking them out, either at their shop or at St. Jacobs Market. Thanks again, Tony!

Got myself a beautiful ribeye for a long weekend BBQ. Hands down one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. Marbling was fantastic, fall apart melt in your mouth with a huge beefy punch. The sausages were super tasty as well. 10/10

My mom went a placed an order of 50 Pigtails the last week of July for a pickup on Aug 14. My mom went to the store to pick up the order and the young lady there said that they did not have them. She them proceeded to call another Butcher (Stemmler Meats) to see if they had the quantity that my mom had order and they did. The young lady at the store apologized over and over again for the mistake, I need to say it was not her fault if the owner of the company didn't get the order done, this is the second time this has happened with this Butcher (thought we would give him a second chance) I guess going on holidays so you don't face the music when you screw up us more important.

Bought 2 T-bone steaks this past Saturday for $80 and bbq as I usually do and both steaks were very very tuff . My partner went there today to discuss the situation and all they offered was 1 steak , needless to say she was less then impressed and did not expect their offer . Needless to say we will NOT be returning to this company and I hope know one ask me how there meat is !

I am so disappointed in this place… my family and I used to get great meat here but it seems something has changed. I got 3 chicken breasts recently and they were just not good. I felt like I had to throw out over half the chicken meat because they were full of blood. I know you get that with chicken regardless but this was like over the top disgusting. I feel like they need some quality control. Especially with their chicken. To be honest, the chicken breasts I ended up getting at Farm Boy were a lot better quality.

If it was possible to give a 10 ☆ rating... this family run shop would be the place! They live up to their name... Quality! All their meats are exceptional. Their cuts are most generous! Fresh farm products. They sell only what they serve their own families. Special orders, if you don't see it just ask for it and they will be glad to get it for you. They treat their customers with the same care the would their own family. Take a trip down to the store... your tastebuds will thank you. Salut!!!

This is my favourite meat shop in town. It's the shop for meat sourced from a local farm. The prices are good, the service is fast, the quality is great, it's rarely busy and the staff will answer any question you have. They have some nice goodies like cheese and frozen foods, sauces, and ice cream but I just go for the meat, usually ground beef, sausages, bacon, chicken breast or schnitzel.
