The iconic shop has been a reliable source of fresh, quality meats and seafood for more than a generation. Customer Service Owner Richard McGinnis has dedicated his adult life to providing superior meats and customer service. He started young in the food industry, and now has more than 50 years of experience, from which he offers sage advice to those seeking the finest ingredients, recipes, and cooking techniques. The original Country Time Meat Shoppe opened in Fayetteville in the 1980s. In 1997, Richard made it his own family business and named it Richard's Country Meat Market. The market's product selection is topped only by its outstanding customer service. Knowledgeable staff is always on hand, ready to help you figure out how much you need and what cuts are best, even how to cook your selections. "We pride ourselves in having top-choice and prime graded meat," McGinnis said of his steaks. "But it's really our customer service and quality that separates us from the competition." Quality and Variety There is no comparison when it comes to the quality you will find at Richard's Country Meat Market. Instead of shrink- wrapped packaging, you get fresh, high- quality meats that are cut to order, raised ethically, and often locally sourced. You will find the best selection, along with a wide range of items you just won't find at the supermarket. Their large glass cases display a truly impressive selection – prime cuts of beef, pork, chicken, lamb, veal and seafood, with endless varieties of Italian sausage, bratwurst, thick-sliced bacon, and more … all ready to turn into one-of-a-kind meals. The market's best sellers are seasoned burgers—including a bison burger—all made from freshly ground meats, plus classic bacon-wrapped tenderloin filets. Quail, duck, gator tail meat, lamb and veal are also popular. Plus, they have a variety of deli items that aren't available at most places, including liverwurst and pimento loaf. They also have soup bones for creating steaming bowls of goodness, or for giving to your canine friend. Richard's Country Meat Market will meet your seafood needs with 5-6 varieties of fresh fish and shellfish available on any given day, along with an impressive selection of frozen fish. Stock Your Freezer Richard's Country Meat Market also offers freezer bundles – a great way to have top-quality meat on hand while saving money and time. "We've been selling a lot of our freezer bundles because people want to load up," McGinnis said. "We have five different bundles to choose from: Variety Bundle, Steak Bundle, Smoker Bundle, Deluxe Bundle and Richard's Special, plus 20-pound and 40-pound frozen packs of ground beef." The prices for the bundles vary week-to-week. Ready Meals For easy and hearty meals anytime, Richard's Country Meat Market offers delicious frozen foods to go. The delectable selections includes lasagna, manicotti, Shepherd's Pie, Twice Baked Potatoes, Quiche, Chicken Pot Pie, Eggplant Parmesan, Beef Enchiladas and more. They also feature 12 varieties of homemade soups in quart containers in the freezer, including vegetable beef, chicken noodle, lobster bisque, gumbos and homemade chili – all great to have on hand for those nights when time is short.
