Roy's Meat Service

I love that Roys is still around, I remember walking over as a kid to get an ice cream or soda during the summer. He is the neighbor butcher, and one of the nicest guys in town. How many places now a days remember you from when you were a kid.

Staff is friendly and if you are an OG East sider you'll have a great time catching up with the other folks who are still around here.
He's added a gravel parking lot and the street has some as well.

The food is always incredible, this man knows his meats! For two trays and a pulled pork sandwich (a must have) it was 30 bucks glad to see his prices haven't changed much either.
Never changing though is the banana pudding, still one of the best In the city. I should have gotten two since the first one didn't even make it out of the parking lot.

Overall I'd say if you haven't been here already come check it out and if you have, remember to get that banana pudding you'll regret it later.

Nobody can shut Roy down if somebody shuts Roy down by following lawsuit I will guarantee you the whole community of the Nashville will not put up with that because boys will support his family and all the staff

Great butcher option for Lamb, Goat, and chicken options. (No ground beef or steaks.) They we're open on Sunday; which, was perfect as few butchers are. Great customer service and appreciated the butcher cutting up pieces for size. We have a Great Pyrenees dog and just decided to switch to raw food. Lots of great options of liver, ribs, etc. We will be back to get some things for ourself as well.

Bought 20lbs of ground chicken a few weeks ago. I emailed with someone, they claimed it was organic. I thought the price was great so I placed the order. When I picked up, the service was good, a young man carried it to my car. When I got home and looked at the poultry I thought it looked fatty, but decided to cook it anyway ( I cook for my dogs). I have a couple of instapots, so I used them for cooking.. the smell was super off and rancid. I decided to give it the benefit of the doubt so I cooked it in the oven to see if it was maybe my instapot wasn't heating correctly... still smelled like rotten milk, then I cooked the rest in the air fryer and the smell and look was still the same. I wanted to really like their service and meat... I reached out via email to see about a refund even though I was not expecting one, but in hopes that someone would acknowledge my comment. No reply.

I've never had chicken smell that gross in my life, Ive had three friends tell me that my house smelled rancid and awful. I wasted about $120 and more including other veggies I put in with the chicken.
I will never be returning to this place. I was trying not to be judge mental with the looks of the interior and their rotting vegetables and expired candies I saw while there waiting for my order.. they have good reviews... I wanted to be supportive of a local shop.
I should have left when I was standing in line and the whole store/ market felt off.. PLEASE BE AWARE, they may be feeding you bad and contaminated meat and dousing it in sauce. It would be nice for someone to reply to email but seems like they don't value their customers. Because of how awful the meat is I think I should report this to the health department to investigate. It's not ethical and right to sell bad meat.

What an awesome establishment. It's one of the few places we've found that sells tri-tip, so we jumped at the opportunity. It's been so long since we've had it and it didn't disappoint. Great quality meat and they even picked one out of the back for me. Great staff and excellent service. We'll definitely be back!

Amazing spot. I wish I had a place like this in my neighborhood. Truly a hidden gem.

I was lucky enough to be disc golfing nearby got two of my favorite drivers there. (Calling them the meat shop discs)

And loved the pulled pork sandwhiches.

Really good food absolutely Delicious.

RMS is now one of our go-to's for great meat and local dairy (eggs).

Nothing beats a neighborhood butcher.

Spots like this are so important to a community maintaining its character. So much of east is gettin paved over for big million dollar tall n skinnies, it's beautiful to me I can still go down to RMS and get a killer pulled pork sandwich and some collar greens for like 12 bucks. Good down to earth Nashville folks in there working hard and keeping it real. When I go in there and get a few groceries I need and avoid Kroger it makes my day. Keep on keepin on y'all!

Ps. If you're looking for a Whole Foods to get organic chicken to cook for your designer dog then this is probably not gonna be what you're looking for. It's something you might just not understand.

I'll keep this short and sweet. Roy's is the best most authentic last standing barbecue joint in East Nashville. You must try this place. The hospitality is next level. There is no comparison! I hope this place stays forever.

Roy's is what it's all about! Friendly neighborhood butcher with amazing cuts of meat, amazing hot food and amazing people. I highly recommend the quesadillas they use smoked meat...words don't do it justice. Every neighborhood needs a Roys.
