5 /5 Abel Sandoval-Castillo: Highly Recommended – Great Service & Quality BBQ
Stopped by City Meat Market in Giddings, TX early in the morning (around 8:00 a.m.) because I needed something quick, filling, and high in protein before a long day of online gaming. Most BBQ places weren’t open yet, but City Meat Market was — and I’m glad they were.
I called ahead to make sure they had what I was looking for, and the staff over the phone was respectful, knowledgeable, and helpful. When I arrived, the in-store staff was just as great. Everyone was extremely friendly and took the time to help me choose the right type and amount of meat so I wouldn’t overpay, which I really appreciated.
Everything was already cooked and ready to go, making the whole experience quick and easy. The atmosphere has a cool old-time, classic meat market feel. The layout was a little confusing at first, but the staff guided me step-by-step all the way to the back where the food is ordered, so it wasn’t an issue at all.
Payment was simple (cash or card), and checkout was smooth. There wasn’t much foot traffic at the time, but that’s understandable given how early it was — I’m probably one of the few people craving BBQ at 8 in the morning.
Overall, excellent service, great food, and a welcoming experience. Very high rating from me, and I’ll definitely be back.
