Great market, super clean, great variety of meats ect, polite helpful staff.
Last week an elderly woman fell in front of big reds. I stayed with the lady, and a local mail man, and avondale variety store employee helped me watch over the lady until EMS arrived. I WAS SO IMPRESSED BY an employee who came running out of Big Reds and she grabbed blankets and coats from her car to help. The owner John also came out to see if he could assist. This is what I call " Community " it's so wonderful to see responsible business owners with!

The best butcher shop. The meat selection is fantastic. No more grocery stores for me. Love this place.

I've been hearing for years people recommending Big Red, and today I was able to stop in.
If you've never been and prefer a less busy store traffic, don't come during the weekend. I appreciated the cashier's information about that, however, truly amazing how all staff knew how to keep things flowing.
Can't wait to dig into the T-bones we purchased.

This place has been a staple in my shopping for many years. My children and grandchildren have benefited from their fundraiser packages. The quality is always fantastic. Best store made corn beef in ontario. With their products I have pulled off many a stellar night at the grill. Will be going back soon. Cheers

Part of our weekly routine! For deli meat every sandwich we eat (like our hot italian ones we make- photo) and charcuterie board has Big Red meat. Their bacon is unbeatable, and their chicken breasts are huge. This is a MUST stop for us. I also randomly got a cucumber that was 10 salt shakers long.they have excellent quality of produce and when they have deals on it it's even better.

Picked out my first ever corned beef from the barrel…. It was THE BEST! And now will be the annual purchase. Big Reds does not disappoint.
25 February 2023 1:45
It gives you a quick shot of grocery shopping but needs to have a better organized. However, you can find variety of meat here.
27 January 2023 12:45
Got better.now they sell more local goods and still have the best meat in Niagara.try the Bacon!
01 January 2023 10:53
Always pleasant and hard working staff. Prices are decent and the best butcher shop in the area!
27 December 2022 22:40
These guys are the real deal. Wonderful meats, cold cuts and fresh produce. They also sell pre-cooked meals, and pizza
08 December 2022 21:14
Love going to Big Reds.it's busy but that's because you get quality products.the staff is friendly and always helpful.
01 October 2022 9:47
Always fresh & we'll stocked! Great creamy coleslaw made in store! Fresh meat & ready to go BBQ choices. Local produce. Busy place, go early!

Great chicken wings most of the other products are high quality but expect to pay way more than in any other store. The store is very small and difficult to make your way through when bust. Expansion is definitely needed.
24 September 2022 5:02
Great selection of meat.its primarily a butcher shop with a deli and small grocery store.you can buy hotdogs hamburgers steaks chicken etc in box quantities or individual pieces. Their bacon is excellent. They have prepared foods and salads and a deli section. There is also basic vegetables and fruit for sale. A little on the pricy side but good quality food. You get what you pay for. The have specials on from time to time. If you are in the area check them out. You won't be disappointed.
20 September 2022 22:50
I always find something different to try here! From the Buffalo pork chops to Koren beef ribs. Thank you Big Red Market.
27 July 2022 15:31
Their Memphis rub is outstanding, best rub seasoning for the summer BBQ and Kabobs. Lots of amazing seasoned fresh pork, chicken and beef, and all kind of big size Italian sausages to try out and most important, all superb quality meat and delicacies are well priced and affordable. Hidden Gem in Thorold area I'm Niagara
25 July 2022 5:30
Love Big Red. Great staff at meat counter. Check out peeps could use a bit of guidance, skills at engaging customers. Nonetheless, I will continue my patronage.
16 February 2022 12:53
We ordered our turkey from here for Christmas.requested a 30 to 35 lbs bird. When we went to puck it up.all we got was a 15lbs turkey. First they couldn't find our name or number.second they said they had called everyone to notify them.funny we never got no call because we had gone elsewhere if that was the case. On top of it all.the staff were very ignorant and rude.
27 January 2022 20:12
Best place for meat! I come in every time the triple mix, sausage and chicken wings are on sale! Always fast and friendly service. They were out of triple mix but asked if I could wait while they made more. Of course! Definitely will be coming back weekly!
08 January 2022 11:05
Im so disappointed.i ordered a fresh 14 lb turkey 2 weeks prior to pickup i was told weight would be 11 to 15lb category so i asked if it could be toward the 15lb mark to feed all my guests.yup no problem.picked up turkey today under 11lbs called to complain only to be told turkey shortage they had to give me what was available and maybe substitute for a ham or turkey breast.are you kidding me that was all i got for a sorry we didnt call you to let you know we couldnt deliver on your order.in a panic i called Lococcos and sure enough they had a 17lb fresh turkey available.from here on in Lococcos will have my business
I appreciate the offer to return the turkey for a refund but i put it in the freezer and will keep it for a smaller gathering, I'm more upset about the response i got from your partner, i know John would never had addressed this so poorly and maybe a call if you cannot fullfill an order, no one wants to scramble last minute for Christmas dinner. My friend also ordered a 20lb and was given a 13lb bird. Hopefully in the future if this ever occurs again you will make that call
07 January 2022 8:45
It was Amazing! The smoked Turkey and Kielbasa are the best I have ever tasted! The Chicken Wings are a good size and The chicken fingers are awesome! Will be back next week!
11 December 2021 16:32
This is the place to get great meat and produce. Bacon wrapped chicken medallions, in house brined corn beef, and all the fixings are fantastic.
05 December 2021 14:44
The store is very small, and busy.
But the food is worth it.
Will return again. And buy the chicken fingers, you will thank me later for it.
17 November 2021 7:45
This is the best butcher/local produce store you can go to in the Niagara Region. Personal faves are the bacon, deli meat and their pre-marinated chicken. They make pretty much everything in the store, at their processing facility down the road, right in Thorold.
07 November 2021 4:04
Great quality meat. Never disappointed. Asked for a turkey breast the day after Thanksgiving, and the clerk went to the back and found me one. Great service, great prices.
04 November 2021 1:34
Recently found out Big Red does delivery, got a phone call, giving me multiple delivery time options, Driver showed up in the time window. Everything was packed neatly and the meats (especially the deli) taste absolutely fantastic.this will be my go to place now.
22 October 2021 3:07
Always enjoy shopping at Big Reds, I don't mind spending money for the quality of food we receive!
03 September 2021 23:16
I have been shopping there for many years always happy with the meat, veggies and wonderful service always a greeting from John and all the staff.a wonderful place to shop thanks Arlene King
14 July 2021 12:37
Best place for the freshest cuts of meat. All sorts of pre-made meals to choose from, if you don't feel like cooking. Prime produce too, and local if available.
01 July 2021 13:36
The butcher of all butchers. I only get my deli needs from Red Market. An excellent hot-counter as well! I would recommend to anyone!
28 June 2021 6:54
Over 25 yrs and never had a bad experience. I used to live in Thorold up until 12 yrs ago and still travel there there at least once a week.
24 June 2021 10:44
Friendly staff! Great selection! Line was long but definitely worth it. Wait of about 10 minutes to get into the store.
15 March 2021 16:02
This market never disappoints! Fresh meats, deli, veggies. Great regular prices and excellent specials. You gotta try their kielbasa.
13 March 2021 11:44
Great store and excellent meat and produce!
Only their HOT pepperettes are not hot anymore.tastes like regular.last 3 or 4 times I got them.and I made sure the girl took them from the hot container this time.
Wish they would make them hot again!
I will still drive 20 mins to go there though
11 March 2021 22:37
Always amazing meat and produce. Good prices. Fantastic staff. This is our go to for any meats and when someone looks for a recommendation, here is always my answer.
06 March 2021 23:25
They have an extensive selection of meat, vegetables and prepared food. You don't have to buy prepackaged meats and cold cuts. You want 1/4 lb of capicola? You want a pound and a quarter of hamburger? You want one pork chop? No problem! Just ask for it and one of the staff will wrap it for you. The prices are good too, always better than supermarket price. People come for miles to shop here, not kidding.
20 February 2021 17:10
Forgot how amazing this place is!
They have everything. Fresh! Friendly staff! And great prices!
05 February 2021 21:35
Fabulous selection of meats, deli meats and salads, vegetables and fruits. All at great prices. For the money I spent, I can't believe all I got for it. Friendly and fast service to boot.
04 February 2021 23:53
I quit Costco and started getting my steaks here. Have had striploins, ribeyes, and tenderloins, and they were all fantastic!

Would love to get some big tomahawk steaks here, or just some thicker ribeyes. Not sure if this is possible, but I'd love to get some steaks that are 1.5" or more thick.

Produce is always top notch as well. Apples, strawberries, blueberries, all amazing. Can't say enough positive things about Reds.
03 February 2021 20:11
Fantastic butcher and market. I go out of my way and pass by a bunch of other food shops to get to BRM. Never get my steaks anywhere else. Yesterday's visit was for family bbq steaks I cooked tn for a day. Everyone just loved the top sirloin!
28 January 2021 22:35
Always good service and enough staff behind the counter to serve customers quickly. Never a question on quality or price. Regular customer.
20 January 2021 9:16
Mainly head over to Big Reds for their stellar meat selection, but they've got a nice assortment of local produce and their own sauces and ready to go items. Great steaks! Their NY strips are on point!
17 January 2021 8:02
Great assorted sandwiches for lunch. Good deals on meat. Usually purchase items from the weekly sale.
01 January 2021 6:06
Always luv the experience shopping at big red's. Always very helpful employees. An overall great atmosphere!
13 December 2020 23:10
This store is like visiting a small town butcher shop with everything that you need and it's so fresh! With great prices!
03 November 2020 19:55
Great affordable fresh meat although groceries are a little expensive side. But I go there mainly for the meat so awesome!
29 October 2020 1:49
Always get their meats.
Fresh, priced good and friendly efficient staff. They have the good BACON! LOTS of fat when cooking. Great for gravies too!
13 September 2020 9:52
I don't usually give 5 stars but this place is AWESOME. I ALWAYS get what I want and also get it wrapped the way I like. Plus the prices are very fair.
01 September 2020 0:16
Friendly staff, well organized with covid protection and wonderful selection of quality meats and veges
20 July 2020 21:37
Our first visit here. Most enjoyable. Fresh fruits and veggies and A1 meat selection. We will be back. The lineup wasn't too long, no more than 10 mins.
07 July 2020 20:05
Moved to the neighbourhood in August 2018 and have been a customer ever since. It is amazing to have the best of everything at a place just a few blocks away.
29 June 2020 4:35
Great experience! People were friendly and used their manners.just not the people who were shopping.they didn't respect anybody.
10 June 2020 11:16
I come to big reds at least 2 times a week or more. This morning I went at around ten after eight and I stand outside waiting to get in, I didn't even realize that they are open to seniors between 8-9 (my fault and I respect that) what I don't respect is how an employee came out with a bad attitude about it and made it clear that I don't belong there I didn't even say a word and walked away. This place will never get my business again how embarrassing to be talked to like that because she thought she could in front of 5 other people.
16 May 2020 0:54
Always a pleasure, but these past couple of days they ROCKED! It was so busy but you gave EXCELLENT service (as always) from the people in the back serving to the cashiers at the front to the people keeping shelves stocked with excellent and multiple choices. Big shout out! Your desaerve a standing ovation!
29 April 2020 8:38
Shoulder to shoulder customers when we’re supposed to encourage social distancing? Disappointing. And potentially dangerous.
21 April 2020 5:13
Easy home delivery and great quality and quantity for your money.also thank you all for staying open and helping people get through this hard time with food in the fridge.also thank you all for staying open and helping people get through this hard time with food in their fridges

I went there earlier today to pick up some dinner for my boyfriend and I. I recently hurt myself and need to use crutches for the time being. The staff in this location were so helpful and understanding. They helped me get my groceries to the counter to pay for and also brought them out to my car. It was such a nice feeling having a company take pride in their customers. I unfortunately didn’t catch the woman’s name who helped me but I want to commend her for helping me the way she did. Thank you so much. I’ll definitely continue being a customer to this location!
04 February 2020 15:24
Honestly best deli meat market in niagara. I have been a couple of times and they are always polite it is very business oriented and straight to the point but i like that. Just bought their winter package one of the guys even helped carry it to my car for me. Super nice place with great quality.

The service at Big Red Market is above average. But the reason I shop there started with bacon. I enjoy my bacon and eggs for breakfast. I had been using chain store bacon for years. Then I had some from Big Red and it was 10 times better. Then a melt in my mouth steak. Now I buy all my meat and some other groceries there. Big Red means great quality at competitive prices
