White’s Country Meats

Since moving to Sandy, this has been our go-​to for quality meats. Huge variety. Every time I have been in, the place has been slammed, yet customer service does not miss a beat. Some items can be a little on the pricey side, but as I said, you are paying for quality, and this place delivers. I do wish they were open just a little later on weeknights, as we would purchase more often. That being said, it’s a real treat when we are able to make it in. We come for the ribeyes, but are looking forward to trying more of what this butcher shop has to offer.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, White’s is probably the bet butcher shop EVER. The people are so nice, friendly and helpful, even when the joint is packed. Their pepper steaks and filet mignons are to die for. Do yourself a favor and check them out! You won’t be sorry! I go out there from Hillsboro.

I have heard about this place for years. I finally made the trip out to see what all the fuss was about and I have to say, I am impressed. First of all, the place was packed. Despite the crowd, the crew kept everything moving right along and I did not have to wait more than a couple of minutes. I purchased some ground sausage and tenderloin steaks. The quality of the meat was way above average~ approaching excellent even~ AND the prices are less than I have paid at a regular grocery store. I will be back again and again and again.

I just need to throw in my 2 cents along with everyone else. I live in Vancouver and I have no reason to visit Gresham (except for the occasional visit to M & M restaurant, but that’s another review), but I still take the 40 mile round trip ride at least once a month. Does that tell you how much I love the place? My MUST buys every month are the bacon ends & pieces, the country bacon, and the Dijon chicken breasts. After that, I often buy the double thick stuffed pork chops, the chorizo, the stuffed chicken breasts, filet mignons wrapped in bacon and baby back pork ribs. I’m also a fan of the green chili & cheese stuffed chicken breasts but they are plenty big and one easily makes a meal for two (and I’m a really big eater). Also, I’m afraid I don’t leave without some seafood too. The U-​9 shrimps are like they are farmed near the Hanford plant in the tri-​cities (they’re unnaturally big but so tasty) and scallops I’ve bought there are just as incredible. I guess from the other reviews they occasionally miss packaging or don’t necessarily make the perfect cutting job, but honestly, neither has happened to me and I’ve been a regular for several years. And this past Christmas I gave out packages of bacon ends and pieces to friends. Everyone that got one called later to ask for the name of the place again, so obviously they are doing something right. So although they are great for anything, if you especially need quality meats or seafood for that special occasion, this is definitely the place to go. Only advice I would give is try not going on the weekends. They get swamped. And although they have several people working the counter at once, sometimes its just not enough and the wait can be long. I tend to go midweek and there is usually a wait, but its not very long and the staff try to get you in and out quickly. The butchers and sales staff are very friendly and knowledgeable. Everyone acts like they enjoy working there and serving you!

I LOVE this place, every time I visit my sister I have to visit Whites. Best meats I’ve ever had (the beef the bacon the beef) need I say more. I have yet to be disappointed. On my last visit I bought a bunch of meat back home with me my husband flipped he couldn’t believe the quality and price. Wish we had a place like this in Riverside Ca.

I have been going to Whites for many many years and have always had a great experience. This place has a small town feel and smells amazing. I have yet to be disappointed with anything I have ever had. If you haven’t ever tried it jump in your car drive across town and grab a number.

I just got home from Whites after a drive of 15 miles. I special ordered 14 1.25lbs pkgs. of thin sliced bacon. When I got home I counted the packages and there were only 10 but looking at my bill, they had charged me for the missing bacon as well. This is the 2^nd time this has happened. Yeah I was only over charged about $ 50 bucks, (but that is a lot of money for me,) but if I want it rectified I will be put to the INCONVENIENCE and expense of driving back over to White’s so they can correct their mistake. I used to buy from Gartner’s Country Meat Market and since Gartner’s is not that far further away from my house than White’s I may switch back. The other thing that happened recently is we bought 2 boneless skinless chicken breast and they had the strangest texture. I’ve never seen or eaten chicken like it before. It was like artificial chicken meat — like as fake crab meat is to real crab meat. And that isn’t the only bad meat we’ve gotten from Whites. We have had bad experiences with boneless rib eye steaks several time — very tough and they charge way too much to be selling steaks that are hard to chew.
Some of the counter help is very friendly but others seem like they take meanie pills. Grumpy.
I“m really unhappy that they can’t get their act together. White’s used to be a more reliable place to shop, but the younger guys that are running it now aren’t doing a great job.

Bought a pack of pork ribs to serve for company. Got them home and they looked like they were hacked with a garden shears, too hacked to serve for my company. I took them back to Whites
The clerk agreed they did a terrible job cutting them. He replaced them with new ribs. I was irritated because it took me an hour to drive to Whites and back to replace their crappy job. Never offered even a free hotdog for my inconvenience.
Haven’t been back

Best butcher I’ve ever used! The prices are competitive with grocery stores, but the quality is FAR superior.
And BEST. JERKY. EVER!

The best meat selection in Gresham. We have never had anything bad from there and the prices a great. Definitely a must-​go!

Sorry folks but my experience with whites meats was I asked the counter boy for a top cap of the sirloin (culot) and he told me tri-​tIp was the same thing. I told him I wanted the top not the tri-​tip. He wanted to argue and told me to let him know when I knew what I really wanted… TRAIN THE COUNTER HELP ON THE BASIC CUTS OF BEEF

The variety of meat here is great! The staff is super friendly and always willing to help. I visited on a Monday evening and there was no line at all. There were about 6 people working though and all of them eager to help. The prices are not bad at all, I just wish I had a big enough freezer to get one of their bundle deals!

Excellent variety! Reminds me of the markets back in the Midwest. Friendly, quick service but usually there is a bit of a wait (it’s packed every time I go there). Have bison by the lb.

Love this place!!! The butchers are friendly and super helpful. The quality of the meat is fantastic. Great bacon!!! Have had many helpful suggestions when I tell them what I’m making as well. I always forget what day they have seafood in on… call and ask… because it’s worth going and seeing the selection.
If you happen to be driving through stop in. It’s a Gresham gem!

This is the place for meat on the east side of town.
Everything is fresh and delicious. Even teriyaki sticks or jerky is fresh.
If you go in on a hot sumer weekend grab a number right away or you’ll be waiting for a while.

If you have headed over the mountains through Gresham, you have passed by this butcher shop and not even know what you are missing. Most people love the jerky, but i think it is terrible, but I have a kid that would kill for it. I go there mostly for their bacon and wieners and pepper steak, but they have so much to offer. It a great place for special occasion needs such at fresh turkeys, crown roasts, or prime rib. I do know they do a large business is processing wild game, but i am not a hunter so I have never used that service. On Friday they also have fresh fish available. They have a freezer that has a selection of item that are very good. I often buy the frozen breaded veal patties which are so good.
One of the best things there is the staff. There is always so many people behind the counter that you never have to wait long. You can walk in here on a Friday night and it will be packed with 20 people in the shop, you take a number and not even have enough to to decide what you want before they are calling your number.
Everything you order is wrapped in white butcher paper and they tally your cost on them. Things run well here and everyone would be lucky to have a White“s meat in their neighborhood like i do.

I agree with the other reviewers on the quality of the product and service up front. My beef (no pun) is due to one incident from several years ago. I brought in some venison to be processed into burger. The employee sent me to the back of the store where another employee instructed me to dump my meat into a tub that was on the ground outside in the back of the store. While I was looking down at the tub the employee picked another tub off the ground and placed it on top of the meat in the other tub (no barrier just ground contaminated tub on top of meat). There was also a lot of flys all over the meat since we were outside. They were treating this product as if it were going to the rendering plant to be made into dog food. I was disgusted and walked away with my meat. It took me some time to go back to the front counter after that and even now I have reservations.

Why, why, WHY can’t there be good meat markets like White’s in middle Tennessee? A trip home for me usually includes a good treat (most likely a good marinated steak) from White’s. Gresham doesn’t have a lot of tasty food options going for it, its a whole lot of chains and no originality. My recommendation? If you have access to a grill or/​and an oven just go to Whites. Pick up a steak, some potatoes and kebabs and make your own dinner! Even if you have the most rudimentary cooking skills the fine love and work put into the items in this Market make the flavors pop and you’ll seem like the next Beard award winner.
Yum! I now crave pepper steak…

I can’t believe I waited so long to go in here for meat. I started going last summer for the first time. It is grillin’ season now, at least for me, and I stopped in there today. The parking lot was so full we had to park on the street. It was a sea of people in there, but I pulled my number and called within a minute or less. They have plenty of staff working to keep things moving.
I got a slab of beef ribs, which runs about $ 2.69 a pound, they have a lot of meat on them. They will cut them for you. Which is great to skip that part and get down to business of cooking them when you get home.

I love this place, lots of choices, decent prices. I love their twice baked potatoes. I love meat markets when you feel like going to a steak restaurant. They’re super easy and quick to cook, and you can get a better quality cut, for way less than eating out.
I mean you can get 2 primo steaks, 2 twice baked potatos, dinner rolls or bread (lots of yummy choices) for like $ 20 depending on the cut of meat, then buy a nicer bottle of wine than you usually do, and still end up spending less than half of what you would have at a CHEAP steak place, while getting better quality than the high end places.
The folks here are always helpful on how to cook stuff, and it’s like a candy store in here, so many delicious looking options for the carnivore. I love stuffed chicken, and always want to try everything. This is a go-​to place for stay at home date night, you can eat like a king, on a jester’s budget.
