Whitefeather Meats

I bought one of their dry aged beef T-bone steaks, and after giving it a reverse sear, I can definitely say that I now realize that I have never actually had steak before!!! It was a truly awesome experience!! The filet portion of that T-bone was so generous that it almost qualified it as a porterhouse! Now I can’t wait to try grass-fed and bison steaks!!! Super yummy!!!

After reading some other, more negative reviews, I must say that I am mystified! The prices at WFM are eminently comparable with Giant Eagle, etc.! Of course, if you want a dry aged wagyu ribeye, you’re going to have to shell out $100+ anywhere you can find them!!

Where do these negative reviewers buy their meat so much cheaper, I wonder? Maybe out of some guy’s car trunk downtown?

Besides, this is dry aged meat! You can’t get that at GE, and it makes a vast difference in the flavor and tenderness!

Maybe these negative people need to learn how to properly reverse sear their meats instead of ruining them by over or under cooking them (as I used to do)! I heat my steaks in my oven to 112F and sear them on a stovetop grill pan!! Not an optimal process, but the steaks come out better than anything I’ve had in a high end restaurant!!

Other negative reviewers complained about much of the meat at WFM being frozen. Personally, I have never had a problem with properly frozen meat. That’s just anti-McDonalds propaganda from Wendy’s! I’ve always found that properly freezing meat actually enhances its tenderness, since the ice crystals tend to break down connective tissue, much like dry aging does. Of course, you can’t just freeze meat and allow it to sit in there until it gets freezer burn!!

Besides, WFM does have a very nice little case featuring fresh cuts. You just have to ask if you don’t find it on your own.

I will give some credit to those reviewers who were disappointed by the young cashiers seeming bored and impatient, but, hey, they’re kids! I personally found them sufficiently polite and cheerful to deal with, compared with teens at many other establishments.

We live in Creston, and we love Whitefeather Meats. We have shopped here for years. I remember when the place was barely big enough for two people to pass each other inside. The remodel is perfect. It's so great to be able to get fresh, good quality meats so close to home. The staff there are always so nice too. Occasionally, they even have free samples, and they have a savings club, as well as a punch card for their bratwurst. They also sell many other items besides meat. They sometimes have fresh local produce and even some Hartzler's Dairy products. It's not cheap, but the meat quality is worth it. We will always shop at Whitefeather for our meat.

Great shop! I love watching the bearded butchers videos on YouTube, so we decided to stop when passing through. I picked up a bunch of the seasonings and some snack sticks and bratwurst to try. The prices seemed relatively competitive to other stores I've been to. It was nice having all of the barbecue and meat grinding equipment in the same place. The store was very clean and the staff was nice.

Scott & Seth are awesome- super nice & helpful, we made the trek from the Cleveland area on a Saturday and was fortunate enough to meet both of them. They really seem to care about their customers .
The meat is phenomenal, you can tell they really care about the product they sell & their customers. the selections are amazing, especially in the Bratwurst section. I will be going back on a regular basis

Very cool meat store that I stumbled across while on a Ohio road trip. The building and facilities are very impressive. Gorgeous building, great design. An incredible selection of meats. They have buffalo, elk, venison. All kinds of specialty cuts of meats. Only have two negatives. This isn't the place to shop if you're on a budget. The prices are expensive. And most of the meats are frozen. I went with a pack of Cajun gumbo brats. I hope they are good for 4 for $7.00.
