For nearly 30 years, this old-fashioned meat market has been a Northwest Arkansas icon. Holiday meals And if you don't want to do all the work yourself, Richard's is taking orders for their complete holiday meals. Choose from an oven roasted sliced turkey breast or a sliced ham dinner, complete with rolls, cornbread stuffing, mashed potatoes, green beans, buttered corn, gravy and a pumpkin pie. Your holidays just got easier and more delicious! Customer service "We pride ourselves in having top-choice and prime-graded meat," says owner Richard McGinnis of his steaks. "But it's really our customer service and quality that separates us from the competition." 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, renaming it Richard's Country Meat Market. Quality and variety The large glass cases here display a truly impressive selection. There are endless varieties of Italian sausage, bratwurst, thick-sliced bacon and more… all ready to turn into one-of-a-kind meals. There's no comparison when it comes to the quality you'll find at Richard's. Instead of shrink-wrapped packages, you get fresh, high quality meat, cut to order, raised ethically, and often sourced locally. You'll find the best selection, along with wide range of items you just won't find at the supermarket. Their best sellers are their seasoned burgers (including a Bison Burger) made from fresh-ground beef, and the classic bacon-wrapped tenderloin filet. Add to that quail, duck, gator tail meat, lamb and veal. Plus a variety of deli items like head cheese and pimento loaf that aren't available most places. And of course, there are soup bones for creating steaming bowls of goodness, or even giving to your canine friends. Richard's can meet your seafood needs as well, with 8-12 varieties of fresh fish and shellfish available on any given day, along with an impressive selection of frozen fish.
