Garling CGM

My go to for Meats. always great, price is competitive with the major Grocery chains but worth the extra trip as everything is top notch and better then anything you will find at the grocery store, and the service is always great!

Dan Kitching

This is my favourite Halenda's location. Great variety, good prices, great quality, and friendly service.

Christian Wright

Best meat, prices and staff!! Forget that gross poor quality supermarket 'meat'. Get the real thing at a better price and support local!

Joshua Thomas

Absolutely horrible customer service. They gave us a order that was not ours at all. Then hours later after we had thawed the order they asked us to bring it back to them. Even though we had it thawed and they were going to re sell it. The owner who wouldn’t give his name to me when we spoke was badgering me and even being verbally abusive because they gave us this wrong order told us we were paid up and less us leave. He even accused me of being a theft! Crazy how a business like this thinks they can do what they want. He even has banned me from going back because of the mistake they made with the order. Don’t go to this place. I hate to say this because I have been doing meat orders there for almost three years. They make one mistake and now I am banned from using the store .he also said he is handing out a letter to all halendas to not allow me to buy anything! This guy is crazy and very verbally abusive. And I can’t get over that they said they were going to resell the meat after I had brought it home. DO NOT Shop here.the store manager also told me that because of this the owner is making her pay out of her pocket. For the difference in price for the meat. What a crooked company.

Good service and great meat !

Ground beef. It's so easy. But not this time. Something was very wrong with it. Smelt off when it was being cooked. Tasted so disgusting it took just a single bite to abandon the entire meal. Mixing in old steaks is not the way to good ground beef. Will not be back. SAD!

Most of the staff are friendly and helpful, the manager on the other hand, is hostile and confrontational when there is any issue. Two weeks in a row our steaks had a strong off putting smell. Last week I cut the streak the inside was grey greenish, but we were told there was nothing wrong. Today without opening the package they could be smelt at near arm's length. Again she could smell nothing, when you are around it all the time you will not smell it. Even coaxed an employee to say no smell.

Got quick an efficient service while picking up steaks that were on sale. The company we had over loved them! Great quality.

Achim Mohssen-Beyk

Best place to buy your meat. Always fresh and always a deal on one or another prime cut. Check their small freezer for fresh frozen products to save some money. The staff is always helpful and friendly. Very clean facility.

Nathan Glover

Sandra Marie Hanlon

1st time in there today and I must say I'm impressed with what they sell and the prices are reasonable as well! I'd rather buy my meat here than Walmart No Frills, or any other store in the neighborhood! My dog's are enjoying the bones I bought them as well!

Ray Van Schyndel

Antje Starr

Tried a new steak they recommended. It was really good. Great service, friendly and knowledgeable

Dana Vrooman

Too expensive

Steven Churma

Have been going to Halenda's for 30 years and have had very few negative experiences. In general, the quality of products offered are superior to those of regular grocery stores . I would rather pay a premium for high quality meat products over low price for substandard water injected and dyed meat as you would find in a low end store like Walmart. In fact, I cannot recall a time in recent memory that I have bought any meat from a regular grocery store. The only complaint about Halenda's I have is that no two stores sell the same things, which can be frustrating, especially when on some occasions I have had to go to multiple stores to acquire an item.

Samanda Noble

Nice store, polite staff. Beef stew available at hot table was not tasty and thin.... I looked for a bun...

debbie mulligan

Great butcher shop....friendly,knowledgeable and helpful staff. Sign up for their emails and you get "ecoupons " sent to you every week...just mention it and you get a better price. Never been disappointed in anything we have purchased here. The one in Oshawa at King and Townline is the best.

Incredibly helpful and knowledgeable staff. I was planning to make a roast beef dish and needed some advise. The sales staff were incredibly helpful and even brought the butcher in to give me helpful advice on how to cook it. The dish came out perfect thanks to them. BUY HERE!

John Keith

Amazing Butcher shop and Deli.

Jennie Derdall

Good quality meats! Friendly, helpful staff!

Anne Gibbard

Big wings

Bella Preciado

Helenda's is amazing for their meat and selection, however I've seen on multiple occasions one of the managers reprimanding and cussing out teenage employees in front of customers, as well as just being generally hostile. The lack of professionalism is so disrespectful to not only to the employees but also customers. I feel ashamed supporting a family business that has such lack of family values and respect, it left me with a bad taste that I now only shop at the Whitby location or other butchers. I am utterly disappointed as this shop has great selection and decent quality meats, and most staff is incredibly friendly and helpful but I cannot in god faith support a shop with this type of management.

Ever Eddie

Amazing meat

samual Pascuzzi

fresh meat

greg Scherer

great meat worth the. Trip

Jared Roth

They have the best liverwurst in the whole coty. In my opinion its the only place worth buying your meat. It is well worth the price.

Janine Rivard

I ordered the last of your potato salad yesterday, as well as macaroni salad, coleslaw. I usually love your potato salad - it is the best if I don't make my own home made. I don't know what happened yesterday but it was terrible! Flavourless, the potatoes were very hard - it definitely wasn't the same as it usually is! What happened? I got the large container and it is not cheap, but worth the price if it is good. I ended up deciding that I will throw the rest away - none of my family liked it at all.

Frank Cap

Best place to buy meats in Oshawa in my opinion.

Dan McIntyre

Grear selection!!

Christine Heller

Clean, great quality meets and deli

*Edit- Halenda's really worked to make this one right! I sent an email to let them know about my experience, as outlined below. They emailed back within 24 hours, offering a full refund on the cut I recieved. When I arrived later in the evening, the manager was waiting for me to process the refund, and she had already prepared a fresh cut of brisket on the house for me. Level of service is bar none! Thanks for making this one right. ........................................... Super disappointed- I may have to find a new butcher shop! I've been to Halenda's in the past, but usually go to the Whitby location. Last week, I decided to go to the Oshawa/Courtice location instead as it was on my way home. I went in looking for a cut of brisket that could serve 4 people (it's one of my husband's favourite meals, and I wanted to surprise him with it today while we had company over for dinner). I prepped the meat this morning and left it to cook in the crock pot today. When I went to serve dinner, I learned that the meat was tough and fatty, and marbled with gristle! This is not at all what I was expecting as the dish is usually tender and melts in your mouth. I wrestled with the meat and cut away some of the worst fatty parts of the cut to see what I could salvage. For $32 worth of meat from the butcher shop, I couldn't even get enough edible meat from the cut to serve 2 people. Horrible dinner party fail. This is not the level of quality I've come to expect from Halenda's.
