Houston’s Meat & Produce is a full-service butcher shop in Mount Juliet, Tennessee, in the Nashville area. The store specializes in quality meats and produce, operating a traditional, old-fashioned butcher counter alongside a deli, smoked-meat program, seafood selection, and catering. The business describes itself as the premier, old-fashioned butcher shop in Middle Tennessee and frames its approach around hands-on service in contrast to pre-packaged options at national chains, noting that “Quality meats are hard to find in today’s ‘Big Grocery’ marketplace.”
Products
The shop carries USDA Choice beef, premium pork, and fresh, never-frozen chicken, along with a wide assortment of meat selections. Butcher services include custom cutting while the customer waits, vacuum sealing, marinade application on request, and call-ahead scheduling for pickups. The store invites customers to “Ask The Butcher” for guidance on ordering and preparation. A full-service delicatessen offers cold cuts, cheeses, and homemade salads. The smoked-meat program is run on the premises: “Houston’s smokes all of its meat on the premises using only the finest cuts of meat and the most flavorful wood,” with hickory smoke “slowly infused into every last bite.” Smoked products include smoked sausage in vacuum-packed slices or original cheesecloth wrapping, country ham cured and smoked on Mt. Juliet soil, thick-sliced bacon, smoked ribs available every weekend, and smoked barbeque available hot on Fridays and cold every day from the counter. The store also stocks a variety of smoking chips for home use, plus a seafood selection and holiday prepared menus such as Thanksgiving offerings.
