I live some distance from Kincaid, but wanted some nice flank steak for Christmas dinner. So, I called Kincaids and asked if they had any. The man that answered said that he wasnt sure, but if I would hold he would check. So, I waited. A moment later another man answered the phone and I explained that I was waiting for someone to check on flank steak. The man said yes we have flank steak, but they couldnt take any orders - just come in, and hung up. So, I drove the distance, entered the crowded store and took a number. I waited for some time only to find out that they did NOT have any flank steak. I told the clerk that I had called. He asked who I spoke with. I told him I didnt know. He said that I should come back the next day at about 10am because theyll get a delivery at 9am. My husband called the next day at about 10:45am and asked if they had flank steak. The clerk said yes. My husband asked if he could pay for it over the phone and pick it up early afternoon. The man hung up on him. My husband said Kincaid Meat Market will never get his business again - ever! Im confused. There are so many reviews that say the service is excellent and they go above and beyond. Maybe the reviews came from people that didnt shop during the holidays. Were taking our business to Fresh Market from now on. A note to the owner: Be careful who you hire during your busy season. You could lose loyal regular customers by hiring rude clerks.

My low score is based on how rude everyone there was to me. I walked in, and no one even acknowledged me, so I stood at the counter and waited for someone to notice me. They literally had their backs turned to me while they continued their conversation behind the counter! Finally, one of them turned around and said, "do you know what you want?" Not an apology or even a hello... I felt so unwelcome by this point. I told him Id never been to kincaids before, but I wanted to make a special dinner for my fiancé, so I needed help. He then started to TURN AROUND to talk to the other employees again so I interrupted them and said, "nevermind, Ill just take two filets!" He didnt offer to help me at all. He didnt even say thank you for my business or a simple goodbye. I felt like a nuisance after I was so excited to go there and find inspiration for a special meal. I dont know if he thought I couldnt afford to be there or what seemed to be the issue, but if you want to be treated like a customer, dont go here. If gender is the issue, and youre a woman, definitely dont go here alone.

Arbys doesnt have the meats. Kincaids has the meats. All of the most delicious, most excellent meats. Maybe youve thought to yourself at some point "Ive had good meats before," but let me be quick to tell you that though you might have had good meats before, you likely havent had great meats, unless youve had Kincaids meats. Yeah...its pretty good. Whos feeling uncomfortable by how many times I said "meats" in this review?

Kincaids isnt cheap, but this is the best beef I have had in Indy. Kincaids "choice" beef is regularly better than the "prime" beef I buy at Costco. It you want an introduction to the quality without committing to the price of steaks, try the ground beef. It actually tastes like beef. Be aware that Kincaids gets VERY BUSY during the Thanksgiving and Christmas season. Take a number and expect a long wait.

Helpful, knowledgable, friendly staff. Good selection of meats. The St. Thomas sausages are outstanding. Im not married to any particular grocery store for everything else, but I always get my meat from Kincaids. Its also extremely convenient that theres a liquor store and a grocery store across the street. One stop shopping.

Kincaids is wonderful. The staff is friendly and nice. I went there for italian turkey sausage and they didnt have any but they made a fresh batch for me! Then later we made meatballs with 3 different kinds of meat and they mixed it for us! The meat is fresh and tastes great. They are open to questions and know a lot!

Mediocre meat selection, steaks were mostly fat and filler. Nothing was dry aged to quality. Surprisingly all fish options were frozen....especially the salmon haphazardly wrapped in cellophane hanging about with no labels or por package dates, of course freezer burnt. NEVER AGAIN

Love this place! So lucky to have such a high quality, competitively priced market (actually cheaper than Kroghetto!) in the village. Their lamb is to die for, and I am switching my entire family over to KINCAIDS-based protein. Incredibly nutritious and pleasure to work with!

I got our thick New Years eve ribeye steaks from Kincaids and pulled off a reverse sear. They were the best steaks Ive ever made (so far). Great quality and friendly, helpful staff in a storefront that preserves something special that the grocery store butchers cant replicate.

You need it? Theyve got it. Very helpful. If youre looking for "aged" beef or some odd cuts/meats; go to Goose Market. This is the type of butcher shop your parents & grandparents grew up with. Best butcher shop in town!

I purchased the Prime NY Strip Steak Loin..Used it to make New York Strip and Fall Vegetable Roast with Mustard Cream Sauce...a recipe from Epicurious. Wow. My guests raved. And the steak! It sliced like butter! Lovely.
