Our Story

Welcome To Don’s Meat Shop

First opening its doors in 1982, and like most small businesses, Don’s Meat Shop started with a dream, a desire to serve its customers, and a shoestring budget.

First locating near Hixson High School, it didn’t take long until Don’s became known for having “Hands Down The Best Meat in Town”.

Our founder Don Rains (seen in the picture to the right with his wife and co-founder Sally Rains) started his life in the meat business at just 11 years old. He taught his son (Donnie), and Grandson (Will) the art of the meat business, and today you will see both of them working shoulder to shoulder in the shop and carrying on the family business.

In 2017, Donnie Rains, the current co-owner, and son of Don Rains commissioned the building which you visit today, located at 6408 Hixson Pike.

Only the Best

Steaks Freshcut Daily, Housemade Sausages

“Hands Down The Best Meat In The Chattanooga Area”

Each morning is started early by cutting steaks to keep quality high and flavor at its peak.

We also hand-make a number of sausages, including breakfast sausage, bratwurst, cajun sausage, Italian sausage and more.

Fresh Cut Beef

Our steaks are hand-cut daily, hamburger meat is ground in-house from chuck roast (with no fillers) for the highest quality, and we have some specialty grinds, such as bacon burger patties which are also made fresh in-house.

This New Natural Premium Black Angus Beef comes from source-verified cattle, with documented Black Angus Genetics.

What People are Saying

“A True Butcher Shop”

“Best quality meats in town and very helpful with any questions. Always happy to support a place like Don’s”

Paul Apyan

“Truly the best meat around”

“I’ve been eating meats from Don’s since I was a child and he truly has the best meat around. I work at Walmart and I rather get my meat from Don. Some people said it’s a given that I would do that and some would argue that Walmart has good meat, which they do just it doesn’t compare to Don’s at all. Thank you for being our local butcher Don!”

Bryan Guffey
