Dear Rob, Liz, Marlese, Lauren and Jenn:

I would like to thank you for allowing me to come to Brady's for "Bring your kid to work" day. I had the best time. It was so much fun. The Things that I enjoyed were: working the cash, it was fun when I got to help with the groceries, and pricing all the chocolates and tasting them too! Pounding the schnitzel was cool and awesome. The things I didn't like were mopping and sweeping, but I did learn that A CLEAN SHOP IS A HAPPY SHOP!

The customers were friendly and I like talking to them.

Rob, Thank you so much for the treats.

Liz, Marlese, and Lauren and Jen for taking the time with me and being nice to me.

Our most-popular products are:

• Whole turkeys from Scotch Line Turkey Company,

Brands we sell

We buy our whole turkeys from Scotch Line Turkey Company in Elmira Ontario. Scotch Line is a family-owned and operated turkey farm which specializes in fresh, natural, drug-free turkeys that have been well-cared-for.

Whole Turkey

People come from miles around year after year to purchase our fresh, drug-free turkeys! 

During the holidays, we only buy a limited number from our farmer, so you must pre-order them! Most people pick up their turkeys the two days before Easter, Thanksgiving (both Canadian and American), and Christmas.

As the weather cools, we introduce our own bread stuffing, made in-house by our staff.

Turkey Breast and Turkey Rolls

Turkey breast and rolls (a deboned whole or half turkey) are available year-round. We also prepare turkey rolls, skin-on and tied, and we can even stuff the turkey rolls for you any time! Just call ahead if you want a certain size.

Turkey schnitzel

We prepare lightly-breaded turkey breast schnitzel - we make it fresh and freeze it right away. Available year-round.

Turkey kabobs

Succulent turkey kabobs are cut from the breast, and skewered and marinated with rosemary-herb or lemon-citrus. Perfect for barbecues! Real Canadians barbecue all year 'round.

Ground turkey

Our ground turkey is only from Scotch Line, so it's a much better quality. Available in our freezer section all year 'round.

Turducken

Turducken is a turkey, stuffed with a duck, stuffed with chicken. Turduckens are available upon request, and we offer two kinds: 

• the original: a whole boneless turkey with duck breast and chicken breast inside, and your choice of stuffing mix, averaging 12-15 pounds, or,
• the mini turducken: boneless turkey breast with duck breast and chicken breast, and your choice of stuffing mix, averaging around 5 pounds: perfect for smaller dinner parties!

Our chicken has always been naturally-raised, grain-fed, drug-free and well–cared-for.

Our most popular chicken cuts are:

• Chicken breast,
• Chicken bones (for soup),
• Chicken fingers (regular, and gluten-free),
• Flattened chickens,
• Ground chicken,
• Chicken thighs, and,
• Whole chickens.

Looking for hard-to-find chicken products like capons or cornish hens? Call us and we can order them in for you!

Brands we sell

Our regular chicken supplier is Voltigeurs Farm in Drummondville, Québec. In 1966, Voltigeurs adopted a rigorous process to define each step involved in producing vegetable grain-fed chicken with no animal by-products, and they take good care of their chickens.

Our Specialty Products

Chicken Burgers

We regularly stock Garlic Chicken burgers.

We also sell Beef burgers and Pork burgers (see those pages for details)!

Chicken Breast

Our boneless, skinless chicken breasts arrive fresh every week. They are grain-fed, air-chilled and drug-free. The chicken is available both plain and seasoned. We can season the chicken breasts for you with one of our many marinades with advance notice.

We sometimes order bone–in, skin–on chicken breasts too. Call ahead to make sure we have some!

Flattened Chickens

Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to Brady's of course! Try our new semi-boneless "flattened" chickens! We take out all the bones out except the drum and wings — the chicken is left intact with the skin on. Flattened chickens are perfect for about 4 people.

Cooking time is really short — we recommend about 45 minutes in a 350˚F (176˚C) oven or barbecuing them with indirect heat for the best flavour. Of course, carving the cooked bird has never been easier!

We sell flattened chickens plain or marinated. Our marinades include:

• Black Garlic,
• Citrus and Lemon,
• Mango Chili,
• Mediterranean,
• Mustard and Honey,
• Rosemary Herb,
• Smoky Alabama,
• Smoked Jalapeño and Tequila,
• Wild Garlic, and,
• several other flavours.

Brady's Own Chicken Sausage

We make and freeze three varieties of chicken sausage in-house: Spinach and Feta, Garlic, and Farmers (i.e.: Salt and Pepper). All our chicken sausages are gluten-free, and have no fillers.

Brady's Own Chicken Bacon Rolls

We also make Chicken Bacon Rolls: ground chicken seasoned with garlic, and wrapped in fresh pork belly or beef steak. Cook our Chicken Bacon Rolls like any other sausage: on the barbecue, or browned on the stove and finished in the oven.

At Brady's, we bring in many quality meat, deli and grocery products from all over the world. Unlike some of the larger stores, we also know all of the food we sell: we sample each product line before we sell it to ensure quality, and we don't sell things we wouldn't eat ourselves.

We also try to buy locally-farmed products when we can, and we seek out suppliers who treat their animals with care and respect.

If you cannot find a product that you are looking for, please let us know: we can probably find it and order it for you!

This book contains a short listing of some of most popular products.

Our Specialty Products

Rob's Famous Lamb Sirloins

Our lamb sirloins are by far our most popular item! We have them available plain, but we highly recommend trying our marinated lamb sirloins, which have been prepared with Brady's Own Mint and Rosemary seasoning!

I just wanted to say how grateful we are that you take the time to do so many little things that make us feel as though you are truly our butcher. We would never even think of buying our meat anywhere else but from you. The fact that we have a 30-minute drive to get to your store is of no consequence to us because you provide everything we want from a butcher or any shop keeper for that matter and that is: excellent product and the type of unsurpassed throw back service we crave, service whereby you make us happy to spend our money. You're a great guy Rob.

Located at the corner of Phillip and Albert streets in Waterloo, Ontario, Canada; Brady’s Meat & Deli is proud to have served our community with quality local meats, friendly service and more since 1999.

The owner, founder, and head butcher, Rob Brady, grew up in the small town of Corby, Northamptonshire, England. He knew he wanted to be a butcher at age 14, and, when he was done school, he apprenticed for 3 years at Dewhurst, the largest butcher chain in the UK. As a journeyman, he worked for various stores, from small, family-run butchers to large grocery chains, both in England and Waterloo Region.

After immigrating to Canada, Rob worked for The Veal Shoppe, a butcher shop that sold food at many of the local markets in Southern Ontario. Always dreaming of owning his own shop, Rob approached Herb Benkner, the retiring owner of Benkner's Sausage and Meats, and worked closely with Herb to learn his techniques and the preferences of his customers.

In 1999, after owning the store for a year, Rob changed the name to Brady's Meat & Deli, to give the new business it's own identity. Brady's continued to sell meat as The Veal Shoppe in the main building of the St. Jacobs Farmers' Market until the market building burned down in September 2013.

Brady's is proud to be family owned and operated, Canadian, and committed to quality meats and good service. We try to support our community though our charity work and buying locally-farmed products when we can.

We are the place where quality and service meat!

We were introduced to Brady's Meats about 1½ years ago. Among our favourites are Rob's Famous Lamb Sirloin steaks, Brady's Famous Marinated Top Sirloin steak and the striploin grilling steaks. We have never had meat that equals the consistent quality that we have been experiencing since shopping here. We highly endorse all your meat products as well as preparation advice, and your outstanding customer service.

We shop at Brady's Meat & Deli because of the superior quality of their products and the friendly, helpful staff. I overheard my husband telling someone he'd bought steaks at supermarkets but Brady's was definitely superior. As they say, Try the rest, then buy the best!

I found out about Rob Brady's Deli a few years ago. The minute I needed a reliable, top quality meat supplier for my cooking class venues. Brady's was my first choice, hands down. Since then, I have sent HUNDREDS of eager and inspired culinary students to Brady's for top grade (hence foolproof) meats. I needed a supplier that the public (that I teach) can have equal access to.... Brady's is the best, I stand behind my butcher.
