Ive always passed in front of Tillmans Meats & Country Store and said to my self, " One day I will stop by." That one day came and now I go in as often as I can! First and foremost the owners and workers are amazingly nice! Vicki and her husband are the owners. Vicki makes all the desserts, and they are all natural and taste great! Theyre delicious. I recently bought some pecan bars, lemon bars, cookies, brownies and A french silk pie! All of Vicki desserts are fresh and made with natural ingredients! Her pecan bars are my friends favorite. So far all of her desserts Ive tasted is fresh and very tasteful! Trust me, she knows how to bake and bake well! Nothing can beat home made desserts! Vicki is always kind to me when I come in! Shes the best! A pretty young hard working women! Her Husband is also polite! Ive also purchased fresh hot dogs, fresh Italian sausage and polish sausage. All tasted wonderful and were a good price! Thanks to the workers and owners at Tillmans Meats! ***** People when you get a chance, stop by, and try the desserts, some meats and sauces. They have just about everything! And everything is home made with natural ingredients! Trust me on this one. I have confidence in my review from my experience and I know everyone who stops by with enjoy!

While I loved Tillmans for the longest I have grown to dislike the quality they are becoming known for. Bout 5 yrs ago my roommate and I began to purchase from this place and the quality was outstanding. In more recent purchases its become rather disgusting. Im pulling feathers out of the chicken. The ground beef is coming completely grey and smelly w/ a slimy film on the meat. I cant tell you how many things Ive thrown away. Just a few days ago we tried to eat some hot dogs (which are extremely salty), they were misshaped wrinkled different colors (each dog was multiple colors) and just plain out looked horrible. Now we usually get the $74 half freezer special which both my roommate and I agree has quickly become over priced and the quality has plummeted. I do not recommend the freezer specials as you just get what you get in the store and there isnt a way to inspect the product at all while at the store. However, the bacon and sausage and sirloin chops are still awesome, the rest of what they have as far as meat not so much.

Like many, Ive driven past for years meaning to stop in and see what they have to offer. Ive recently moved to the area and decided to finally try them out for a 2" Ribeye. The shop is very clean and organized with a basic selection of meats, complimentary sides, and a great selection of sauces and seasonings. The staff was very attentive and friendly, taking my order with no hesitation (which Ive had before when requesting a 2" thick cut). I thought the price was a bit high at $13.99/lb but I hoped for quality to match. Unfortunately after a very successful cook, the cut left much to be desired. The quality or the meat being on par with Walmart, much less than Publix or even Winn Dixie. I expected much more for the price at a local butcher. Despite the great service, they fell short where it counted and left me frustrated after spending so much time and money. Ill most likely give them another go and explain that Im looking for a quality cut. :)

TILLMANS MEATS IS THE BEST MEAT SHOP / BUTCHER SHOP IN TOWN!!!!! Their meats are SUCCULENT, FARM FRESH, TENDER, TOP QUALITY, DELICIOUS AND PRISTINE. I absolutely love their small town country store atmosphere. The meats comes from my hometown in Iowa so I feel very comfortable buying it. The guys at the meat counter are very knowledgeable and helpful, and they always make me feel happy with my selection of meat and are always willing to offer advice. Last week I tried their freezer special (signature pack) and I was blown away with the quantity and quality of the meat. It was so good I called my neighbors over to check it out and they are all excited to go to Tillmans with me next week. Thank GOD a place like this still exists and I will be there every week, even though I live 40 minutes away. Cant wait to try yall smoke ribs!!!

Im really picky about 2 things. Steaks and bacon. Ive been on the hunt and was consigned to the run of the mill selection at the local grocery stores and their unimpressive steaks and their prepackaged nitrate riddled bacon. Until this weekend I found Tillmans. And I gotta say, best steak Ive had for a very long time, even frequenting Texas Roadhouse and longhorn, nothing beats grilling it yourself. Those cuts were perfect AND provided you are able to find that level of quality at the grocery store, Tillmans is better priced. And the bacon, thick cut and pink. I think theyve spoiled me for the meat selection at Publix, this place is amazing. And the staff are more than willing to serve you. Best butcher shop in Jacksonville and a diamond in the rough for carnivores.

Love this old fashioned store and the guys working there are awesome too. I bought some fresh steaks and some smoked briskets and pork butt over the Labor day weekend and everyone over loved it. It was juicy and tasted perfecto. Cant wait for my next hosting dinner at Thanksgiving.. I know where Ill be going for my smoke Amish Turkey. I still have some time to decide if I want it fried or smoked..... I had the smoke last year and it was awesome but heard great reviews on the fried too.. so well see lol. See you soon guys and thanks again for everything!

I give this a one star because today I went the store thinking since this is a "meat market" they would have what I was looking for. I asked for a pork shoulder with the skin on it. The first employee was nice but told me " they dont sell anything like that and I would have to special order it." The other guy totally ignored us and his fellow employee when asked if they had anything what I was looking for. Its one thing if a store doesnt carry something but to be ignored is totally unacceptable. I will never step foot in that place again.

I have been going to Tillmans for over 2 months now and the food has been top quality everytime I go. I get the half freezer special for $55.00 which is a great deal and for last me and my wife for atleast 2 weeks. I have completely stopped purchasing any meats from the typical super market chains. I also just ordered thier fresh Turkey for xmas and I am having it smoked for the first time so we will see how that turns out not that I am expecting anything but concidering the other meats quality.... so this should be great.

I came in today for the first time, and Im a bit shy when talking to people. They were super nice, and they allowed us to taste the sausages that they had prepared. The venison was my favorite, but my fiance loved the jalapeno cheddar. They even have a GREAT price on rabbit. I think Im going to start buying a monthly Supersavers pack and make this a regular shopping destination! Hopefully next time I can buy even more, and I really hope to try the ostrich! I couldnt have asked for better quality or service!
