When someone asked whether Brunswick has a true meat market, the responses rolled in — and it turns out there are still a few solid options, plus a couple worth the drive.

Here’s what locals say:

The most consistently mentioned answer. Several locals pointed straight to Adams as Brunswick’s go-to for fresh cuts. If you’re looking for a traditional meat counter experience, this is the name that came up the most.

Located just off Norwich Street on L Street, Southland also got multiple mentions as a local option for fresh meats.

A few locals highlighted Puerto Azteca as another place to pick up meat — especially if you’re after specialty cuts or Hispanic grocery selections.

Also mentioned alongside Puerto Azteca for meat options in town.

If you don’t mind heading out of Brunswick, several nearby spots got strong praise:

This one earned multiple enthusiastic endorsements. Several locals said it’s “worth the drive,” especially for stocking up on chicken, beef, and freezer items.

Keeps a freezer full of locally sourced meats. One commenter gave it a “10/10 recommend.”

Jesup was mentioned as having multiple meat markets, including shops on Cherry Street near Jones Kitchen, plus Wainwright’s and Waltourville Meats.

A little clarification from the crowd: Gary Lee’s is now primarily BBQ and no longer sells fresh/raw meat — but the BBQ (and banana pudding) received strong praise.

Brunswick may not have a big old-school butcher shop on every corner, but locals say you can absolutely find quality meat in town — and if you’re willing to drive 20–30 minutes, you’ll have even more options.
