What Makes Us Better

It begins with finding the best meats. We at Tillman's Meats search-out and source only the best quality meats that comply with our high standards. All of our meats bear the USDA seal of inspection and come from domestic farms, proudly sourced right here in the USA.

As a family-run business, and proudly serving our customers for over 40 years, the masters at Tillman’s Meats hand-cut and trim each and every steak. We ensure that each steak, roast or any cut of meat that leaves our butcher’s block is consistent with our high quality standards. Our beef is aged to perfection, hand-cut and trimmed to ensure maximum flavor and tenderness.

Expert Smoking

We take smoking and seasoning very seriously - and very slowly. From smoked ribs and sausage to turkey and brisket, we have a variety of delicious smoked meats available in-store.

Our smoked brisket, ribs, sausage and turkeys are all brined to perfection in our old-fashioned brine, then hand rubbed with our unique blend of herbs and spices, and smoked to perfection using only sweet cherry-wood.

We smoke our in-house meats, sausages and jerky every day of the week to give you the best tasting smoked barbecue.

Unique Selection of Rubs & Spices

Along with our meats, we have a wide selection of our own Rubs & Spices.
Tillman’s unique marinades, spices and rubs hold up well for slow-roasting when long cooking times tend to kill the flavor of finely ground spices.

Our spices and rubs add delicious flavor when rubbed into steaks and rested overnight before cooking. Mix our spices and rubs into a marinade, or rub them right on dry or with a little oil, and you're ready to create your masterpiece!

Here are the rules:

Cleaned | Quartered | On Ice

Our butchers are easy to work with, they ask that when you bring your game, it is:

In an iced down cooler that keeps the meat below 41 degrees
Skinned, gutted, and quartered
Clean and free of all foreign debris and residue - including hair, bullets, arrowheads etc.

Always, bring your game to us in an iced down cooler - we always check receiving temperatures. Our butcher will receive and store your game in our freezer with a freezer bag for the period that we hold it. We don't keep coolers. When you return for pick-up, please come back with your iced cooler for safe and acceptable transportation back home.

It is very important to keep the temperature of the meat below 41 degrees to prevent decomposition, bacterial growth, and any contamination.

We do not keep coolers in our premises due to limited space and in order to meet and maintain acceptable storage temperatures of the game inside the cooler.
