In Plano, Hirsch’s Meats – An Old-School Butcher Who’s a Cut Above
Entering Hirsch’s, customers are greeted with a neon sign asking them to grab a number. A dizzying array of fresh-cut meat and hand-prepared sausages are in the glass cases, and behind the counter, in an anteroom, you can see butchers slicing and preparing various cuts of meats.
Freshly ground sirloin, as well as various cuts such as tri-tip and flank that are sometimes harder to find at chain grocery stores.They grind the beef on site, of course, including sirloin and chuck, as well as a sirloin/bacon combo at a very reasonable $7.99 per pound. Some hard-to-find cuts such as four-week dry-aged prime steaks as well as A5 wagyu beef are also available for really special occasions, but you’ll pay for the pleasure: $139 per pound or $45 per pound the day we visited.
