About Don’s Meat Shop

Serving the Chattanooga community since 1982, Don’s Meat Shop is your trusted local butcher shop in Hixson, TN. We’re known for premium meats, house-made sausages, and a level of personal service that’s hard to find these days.

Locally Owned and Family-Focused

Don’s Meat Shop was founded in 1982 by Don and Sally, a husband-and-wife team who believed that Chattanooga deserved a neighborhood butcher shop that treated customers like family.

Their commitment to quality, hard work, and friendly service built a loyal customer base that has kept coming back for generations.

Today, that legacy continues under the care of Donnie and Will, the next generation of owner-operators. They’ve stayed true to the values Don and Sally built the business on, while adding new offerings, streamlining custom orders, and keeping the shop rooted in the community.

Whether you’ve been shopping here for decades or just stopped by for the first time, you’ll still get the same great service and personal attention that made Don’s Meat Shop a local favorite.

What Make's Us Different

We’re not a big-box grocery store — and that’s exactly the point. At Don’s, you’ll get:

  • Fresh, hand-cut steaks and specialty meats

  • House-made sausages and smoked meats

  • Custom orders and freezer packs

  • Knowledgeable butchers who care about your meal

  • A friendly, neighborhood atmosphere

Popular Cuts & Customer Favorites

Whether you’re grilling for a weekend BBQ or prepping for the holidays, we’ve got you covered. Some of our best-sellers include:

  • Tomahawk ribeyes

  • Filet mignon and NY strips

  • Marinated chicken breasts and kebabs

  • Smoked sausages and house-cured bacon

  • Fresh-ground burgers and pork chops

  • Briskets

Customer Service That Stands Out

Ask our regulars what keeps them coming back and you’ll hear it again and again: the people.

Our team takes time to get to know your preferences, answer questions, and make sure you leave with exactly what you need.

We also welcome special requests. Need a custom cut or a large order for your next cookout? Just ask. We’ll do our best to make it happen, and we’ll confirm your order before preparing anything.

Committed to the Chattanooga Community

Don’s Meat Shop has deep roots in Hixson and the greater Chattanooga area.

We’re proud to serve local families, backyard grillers, and home chefs who value quality.

Over the years, we’ve supported community events, holidays, and generations of family meals.

What People are saying

Tonight was my first time ever going into this shop. I love steak and the cuts looked amazing. Cooked my first NY Strip from this shop and it didn't disappoint at all! Well worth the price. Real tender and you can tell they sell only the best cuts."

— Robert Jordan Customer

"They have the Best Ribs and meats around, and the baby backs are so thick that I had to adjust my smoking time!!"

— Allen Welton

"Great selection of meats. Friendly accommodating staff. My place to go for fresh meat."

— Jay Bleck

"You know a ribeye is good when you can cut it with a butter knife! Best quality steak I have found around! We also got a 5-pound-bag of chicken tenders! My son absolutely loves them!

We will definitely be back on a regular basis!

Thank you, Dons Meat Shop for meeting this local need! :)"

— Will Harrison

"This place is great and we have never been disappointed with the large inventory, price, quality or service we receive when we go to Don's. This is definitely the place to go if you are looking for something special for party or the holidays as they'll be happy to custom cut anything they have in stock. I can tell you from experience that serving 4 inch thick custom cut Porterhouses broken down at a carving station to a group of people a real crowd pleaser."

— John Narva
