Fadler Market

[RedskinRich]

I saw a quick mention in another thread that someone shopped at Fadler. What is your impression? I know that it is not Harvard Meats Naturally raised but what do you think of the quality? I am having a party this weekend and considering purchasing hamburger patties from there for the party (lazy man's grilling[:I])

Just go to Sam's ..

Go to Sam's unless you want beef made from Cows, then go to Fadler's.

Sam's is overpriced nowadays and their "membership fee" is a joke.

If you're buying for a few people go to Harvard Meats, serving a crowd, go to Fadler's. Their beef is raised, butchered, and packed locally. After one trip I cancelled my Sam's membership and never went back.

I held a Sam's card for a couple of years until I found out it was easier and cheaper to either buy it from Wal Mart, or get it on the Internet.

If I got it from the Internet, the wait would be about the same as waiting in line at Sams... [:O]

Infant formula is a hell of a lot cheaper at Sam's. We have had a membership through my in-laws business so we don't have to pay for it. We have started going to Sam's on a more frequent trips to Sam's for formula and diapers.
We do catch ourselves, making sure it is truly a deal before we buy something at Sam's.

Sam's membership is corporate so no expense to me, and I am feeding just about a dozen people. I have heard good things about Harvard Meats but frankly assumed the prices would be considerably higher. I am told the Oklahoma Food COOP has great beef also but prices are high there as well.

I love Bruner's and Siggy's, but my wife has recently started buying the hamburger meat at Sam's, and honestly I have to say it's every bit as good, and half the price.

I thought someone had said previously that Fadlers went out of business?  Its the one across from Sam's right?  Their burgers were AMAZING, and they will have them fresh and patties made for pickup if you call ahead.  They were wonderful to deal with.  If I had known they were still in business I would have been there lately.  And I compared prices, the burgers were very comparable to Sam's, unless you want the fake frozen ones, and the quality was much higher!

If you are looking to impress, by all means buy at Harvard Meats.  Otherwise grocery store quality will work.  I'm pretty loyal to Duke at HM.  While you are there, buy one of their whole chickens and smoke it for four hours.  I've never had a better bird in your life.

The President died in a car accident but they are still open.

If you have a way to grind it (like a grinder attachment on a Kitchen Aid mixer) Get a brisket with a nice thick slab of fat and grind your own. Best hamburger you will ever have. You can even grind in pepper corns, or garlic or whatever while you are at it.

Things where questionable during the Hale Halsell failure. The group taking over Fadler also took over Hodges Meats

for great service and really old school butcher shop I still love Perry's at 11/Lewis

Most of the meats at Sam's have a ship load of salt added.  My mother is sodium sensitive (blood pressure) so we both look for sodium levels.
