We searched for days for good seafood to cook while we were visiting this island. We found this place and raced there to try and make it before the doors closed. Luckily we did and what incredible service we received! The lady working was one of the nicest people we met yet and she had an incredible selection that filled all of our cravings! Really happy we checked out this little gem of a shop and would definetly recommend for their customer service and reasonable prices!

Whenever I need a Last minute meal whether for family or guests, I go to George’s for high quality meat.Special occasions mean it’s prime rib time. Can’t beat their already seasoned roast.Everyone loves their beef jerky for omiyage. Nothing comes close to it.

I trip to Big Island once a year with family and majority of the time spending time at Kona side. But this year, we decided to drive Hilo side. I checked couple of places we go and one of the list is here because we always do BBQ at our AirBNB and look for good meat and fish. Searched by butcher on Yelp and hit this place. We all expected lots of fresh meat. Actually there are big size freezer and meat and fish are inside there. Frozen but some of them already made tasted(marinated). The store is cozy but you can find lots of good deals. We chose some Kalbi and teriyaki butterfish. During driving back to accommodation, that's good time to defrost (didn't put cooler bag ) and warm up grill and cook. They both delicious! We love their meat and fish!Actually, our purpose was buying meat and fish but everybody grabbed snacks! (We were hungry) Chex mix, beef jerky(this is so good!, they make in a store so when we got inside, smelled so good!), cookies, and more. Store staff is very friendly and nice. We definitely come back on next year's trip. (Usually we fly to KOA but we already decided to fly ITO! lol!!)

Love the selection of meats, snacks and customer service. They just changed their hours of operation so beware.

Great quality meats, and famous jerky!!! It's so much easier to pick up something quick for dinner. Way faster than going to a grocery store.

Always have to get some of their thin slice crispy beef jerky to take home for gifts.

Not true to their hours which is really frustrating when you drive 45 minutes from Puna. Don't answer phones either

If it wasn't for the picture of the outside of the building I would have thought I was in the wrong place. Other reviews and pictures show fresh meat. We walked in and it was an unorganized set of large freezers with frozen meat. No ham and nothing was labeled with names or prices. We were all shocked that it had so many good reviews. We didn't buy any meat other than a bag of jerky from outside.

There are so many places that sell Crispy Beef Jerky that after awhile you weed out the good and the bad.George's Meat Market has been around since 1930. They sell meat and seafood products, but also Ono snacks. We come for the snacks made in house to take home when in Hilo. It makes for great Omiyage for family and friends. You know that I have to take back something and don't what to get situation.Located in Hilo town of the main road. Lots of parking available. Get the good stuff that Locals like to eat.
Beef jerky is different in that it is thin and really good! The owners are really nice people!
Come on S.
HANDS DOWN THE BEST crispy beef jerky!!! Kinda expensive but really worth it. I can eat two bags at a time!!! Tried crispy beef jerky from other places but the ones sold here at George's are the tastiest. SO ADDICTING!!!

BEST BEEF JERKY EVER! The beef jerky is thin, crispy and made fresh every day. Whenever I’m in Hilo I have to pick up beef jerky and candies for the entire family.

Talk about island hospitality! So kind and helpful with an amazing selection of great meats. A carnivore's candy store for sure. Need to cook something for a special someone? George's Meat Market has you covered!
