The Wurst

If you know, then you know. Healthy animals from local farmers. I only serve my family meats from this place because I know Ricky puts his heart and soul into assuring top notch quality. This place has THE best ribeye, you can taste the difference. - Let sit at room temp for an hour. - Rub with Black & Tan steak rub. - Sear on grill with high heat, 2 min each side. - Move to top rack and lower heat. - Pull steaks off once middle reaches 130 degrees. - Let sit for 5 min. Perfect medium rare. - Slice and feast! The quality is on par with the best steakhouses in the world. You can save hundreds of dollars. Try it.

We have bought their steaks twice so far and have found them to be tender with excellent flavor. If you are looking for quality at a reasonable price, you should try their meats.

The quality of the product is only topped by the quality of people delivering them to you. Ricky is highly knowledgeable in utilizing all parts of the whole animals he butchers, which I appreciate the respect shown in fully utilizing the animal. I’ve been introduced to so many delicious cuts of meat I had no previous knowledge of. The sausage selection is an international palate that touches many different cultural recipes. I highly recommend giving them a visit.

What an incredible butcher shop. I’ve purchased a bit of everything but my favorite were the tomahawk steaks Rickie cut up for me. It’s a must try if you’re in NWI

The Wurst Butcher Shop is a gem located within Griffith, Indiana! The Owner/Butcher was extremely knowledgeable and provided excellent customer service. My Holiday Dinners are going to be awesome this year!

This place is a hidden gem and is absolutely fantastic. Fair warning though, if you're looking for a certain popular cut of meat, go early. They sell out quickly.

My husband and I drove 45 minutes one way to stop at this shop and it was totally worth it! We picked up several items and everything we have made has been excellent. Their Italian sausage is especially tasty. Highly recommend stopping by!

The owner is very knowledgeable and was a pleasure to meet. If you want a good cut of meat from a local this is the place to patronize.

I have no complaints about the food, but I would say only so so for the price. Just expected something better.

WHOA! Slagel Farm goat, pork, and lamb in NWI! Small batch sausages and dry-aged meats...in Griffith! Taco meat? Yup. Barbacoa? Yup. Cuban pork loin? Sometimes. In all cases, this is quality meat from farmers who care about their animals. You can actually come in and see the sides of beef aging in the locker and there in a band saw in the window. Very little secrets here. Don't forget to grab a bag of jerky too, because the Jamaican jerk is slap your mother good.

The Wurst is a great addition to the local food landscape. I picked up steak and a chicken, both raised on local farms, from The Wurst. They were both terrific, particularly the chicken. I roasted the bird and made a gravy from the drippings. Now, I roast a chicken in a cast-iron pan for dinner probably 2x\month. And my kids love that meal. Just chicken, gravy, homemade mashed potatoes and a veg. They all said the chicken from the Wurst was the tastiest I've made. And they went nuts over the gravy. But I didn't do anything different. It was the depth of flavor from the chicken that elevated everything. The store itself is pretty cool. The product is front and center, displayed behind glass cooler walls. It's like a shrine to meat. I hope The Wurst is successful, simply because no one else around here is doing anything close to what the owner is tackling there.

Excellent steak! Tried filet and ny strip and definitely the best quality we've bought in NW Indiana.

I was looking for a place that would have a quality beef roast that I could prepare for Christmas dinner. Stopped in around 11:30 am and was greeted promptly by the clerk/butcher. I explained that my aging mother in law wanted pot roast for Christmas and he was able to produce two fresh roasts for me to pick from. I took the larger of the two. It was a huge success, as it was moist, melt in your mouth tender, flavorful. They deal with local farmers and butcher the whole animal. I highly recommend this place and I definitely have plans to return there soon.

I can say with full confidence that The Wurst has the best meat you will find in Northwest Indiana. All the meat comes from small farms in Indiana (who doesn't love supporting local businesses). The animals are humanely raised with no steroids, hormones or antibiotics. The prices are higher than a typical grocery store but the taste and quality is more than worth the extra cost. The Wurst is a true butcher shop and not a meat market. They use whole animals and no part goes to waste. The traditional sausages they make are fantastic and are all worth a try. Long story short if you're a meat lover this is the only place you need to get the highest quality meat in the area.

Fantastic quality. Excellent service. Unbelievable knowledge. Wonderful people. Just an exceptional butcher shop experience.

Great old/new style butcher shop offering whole animal cuts. The animal choices are from farmers that care about their animals and are raised in tune with nature. This is not Walmart cheap food for cheap prices. The butcher I dealt with, Ricky, was knowledgeable and explained differences in the cuts I was looking for. Definitely will be a repeat customer.

Awesome butcher shop!!! Great advice on cuts to purchase and cooking tips. It's a bit far for me to go to, but I def plan on going there moving forward!!
