Store

[I] just re-packaged my meat order from this afternoon. Even raw it looks great, and that's why I drive up to Waterloo to get my stuff!

To Rob and your great staff:

My family has had your aged ribeye steaks twice before and they were unbelievable.

We decided to to take some to our friends in Bracebridge and eat them for Thanksgiving and our friends thought they were the best steaks they ever had. Everything we've purchased has been great.

We have just moved to Waterloo and are loving it because of people like you and your staff.

Cheers,

Dear Rob,

I know the past week has been tough for many in the food business. Last night, as I read an article outlining recalled meats I felt both grateful and confident in the products I feed my family and friends - products we purchase from your store.

Thanks for carrying quality foods. You are nurturing a community.

Dear Rob:

We would like to thank you for your support of the Out of the Cold program at First United Church in Waterloo. Not only do you provide meat at an excellent price, the quality is superb. The meat is very lean and makes an excellent meal for our guests.

We have been recommending your store to our volunteers. I hope that [you] have seen some of them at your business.

Just a quick note to let you know how much we enjoyed your egg nog. It is delicious! The kids also appreciated the chocolate milk and we polished off a 1 litre bottle in a day easily!

We are looking forward to try your un-whole milk as my son has had dairy issues in the past.

Hats off also to Brady's in Waterloo. They really know your product.

Keep up the great work!

[The] lamb was absolutely spectacular. That was the best piece of lamb I've ever eaten.

It could've been eaten with just a fork, how tender it was. I stuffed it with goat cheese and fresh rosemary.

This dish was my most fabulous food creation I've ever made.

Thank you very much for [the] excellent and personalized service at your store. You are a very entertaining butcher, I have to admit. You kept me very interested at your store.

Thanks to Nancy as well for her help and excellent service.

It was my first time at your store and I was impressed with inviting and warm atmosphere around.

Brands we sell

We are proud to be an authorized retailer of Certified Angus Beef! Certified Angus Beef is the best of the best AAA-grade beef, specifically chosen for it's marbling, texture, size, appearance, and tenderness.

Florence Meats in Oakville, Ontario specializes in South African cuts which are hard to find elsewhere.

Norpac beef, processed in Norwich, Ontario (a small town about 15 minutes south of Woodstock), is free from antibiotics, growth hormones and the animals have a 100% vegetarian diet and low-stress living conditions, so the meat is tender, lean and high-quality. All of the cattle come from and are raised on small, family-owned Ontario farms.

Prince Edward Island Certified Beef comes to us fresh each week from family farms in Canada's smallest province, Prince Edward Island. The cattle at the P.E.I. Certified Beef farms are raised in a traditional way, eating a natural diet of grass, clover silage, hay, and potatoes (P.E.I. is famous for it's potatoes). As a result, the beef is very rich in flavour and is well-marbled.

Brady's is proud to be one of the first butcher shops in Canada to sell Certified Island Beef!

Kobe (Wagyū) beef

By popular demand, Brady's now sells natural Wagyū beef! The breeds of cattle that produce Wagyū beef are specially chosen for the marbling of the meat, which produces a unique taste discovered in Japan long ago (Wagyū, or 和牛, literally means "Japanese cow"). The most well-known of the Wagyū breeds is Kobe, which has become synonymous with Wagyū in the West.

We regularly stock Australian Wagyū beef every week, in the following cuts:

• Wagyū Picanha,
• Wagyū Tri-tp,
• Wagyū Top sirloin (Roast Biff),
• Wagyū Striploins,
• Wagyū Ribeyes,
• Wagyū Tomahawks, and,
• Wagyū hot dogs.

We can also order Wagyū A5 from Japan.

Argentinian beef

We occasionally stock grass-fed striploins, ribeyes, and picanha fresh from Argentina. Call ahead to check availability!

Our Specialty Beef Products

We sell many different cuts, but there are some products that our community knows us for...

Try our now-famous steak! Baseball steaks are made from the centre cut of the Certified Angus top sirloin steak; aged for over 28 days for maximum tenderness. They're available in 6oz, 8oz, and 12oz sizes.

Boerewors

Boerewors is a South African beef sausage with special spices. We occasionally make our own fresh boerewors, but always carry frozen boerewors from Florence Meats of Oakville.

1. Brisket burgers,
2. Chuck burgers,
3. Sirloin burgers,
4. Bacon and cheddar burgers,

Dry-Aged Beef

Call about our very own dry-aged beef. It's not always available, but when it is, it sure is worth the wait!

Most beef that you get in the supermarket has not been aged at all. But, chefs and foodies know that aged beef tastes much better — it has more flavour and melts in your mouth. A newer technique for aging beef, called wet-aging, involves vacuum-sealing the meat. The traditional way of aging beef, however, is to hang it until it is cut (dry-aging).

Rob's Famous Marinated Top Sirloin

The original Brady's steak — tender Certified Angus top sirloin, lightly coated in our black-pepper marinade. You can cook it in the oven, but it's best on the barbecue!

Our specialty cuts

Picanha

This is a cut popular in Brazil and South America (and now in Waterloo!). Picanha is also known as a sirloin cap or coulotte. Over 20 years ago, many Canadian consumers didn't know the term picanha; but it became popular when a Brazilian customer of ours requested some!

Tomahawk steaks

Tomahawk steaks are also known as long, bone-in ribeyes. They are great for entertaining!

We also sell beef summer sausage from A. F. Weber, which is famous in the area.
