A regional spotlight on quality meats and community service just a short drive from Pittsburgh
A Butcher Shop with Character
Nestled in Youngstown’s Lincoln Knolls Plaza, Anglin’s Thrif-T Meats & Produce has built a loyal following among meat enthusiasts in Ohio’s Mahoning Valley. Located at 2968 McCartney Rd on the city’s East Side, this family-owned butcher shop offers an impressive selection of fresh cuts that draw customers from across the region.
Quality Cuts at Reasonable Prices
What sets Anglin’s apart is their commitment to providing high-quality meats at prices that won’t break the bank. Local testimonials, like that of customer Bryan Brown, who reported purchasing 13 New York strips cut an inch thick for just $63, highlight the shop’s reputation for value. While pricing policies have received mixed reviews according to some sources, many customers find the quality-to-price ratio to be exceptional. The staff here are exceptionally friendly and know their meat. Tell them the cut you want, and you will get that cut.
Beyond Basic Butchery
The shop goes beyond standard offerings with:
- Fresh-cut steaks, roasts, and specialty items
- A variety of deli meats for sandwiches and charcuterie
- House-made seasonings to enhance home cooking
- Produce options to complement meat purchases
The knowledgeable staff is frequently praised for providing personalized service, offering cooking tips, and helping customers select the perfect cuts for their needs—whether they’re seasoned chefs or home cooks.
Community Involvement
Anglin’s demonstrates a commitment to the Youngstown community through initiatives like their meat package giveaway, where they distributed approximately $1,500 worth of chicken, pork chops, hot dogs, and hamburgers to 60 families in need. This kind of community service highlights the shop’s role as more than just a business, but as a vital part of the local food ecosystem.
Worth the Drive from Pittsburgh
For Pittsburgh meat enthusiasts willing to make the approximately 1-hour drive, Anglin’s offers a unique shopping experience that differs from chain supermarkets and even some specialty butchers. The combination of quality selection, personalized service, and reasonable prices makes it a worthwhile destination for those seeking to elevate their cooking with superior ingredients.
