Sketchy place. Odd smell, not particularly clean. Most of the meat is frozen, not fresh.

Been shopping here for a long time. I appreciate the personal service. My favorite thing to get here is meat for my chili. If you ask, the guys behind the counter will handcut the meat to your specifications.

Hands down the best ! Fresh cut , quality meat - we had burgers , hot dogs , ribs all amazing - but the stand out for me was the bacon and the seasoned carnita asada - so freaking delicious!

Asked the owner to back up so I could pay for my order - he was blocking the customer side of the counter. He had no mask. He said "I have had both shots and I don't give a sh*t about all that". Well, many of us do.

The guys at Cliffs (including Cliff) are awesome, and they have every cut you could ask for.
They know their meat, so if you are looking for something specific or if you have questions, do not be afraid to ask and learn something.
It's not the prettiest building, inside or out.
They handle the meat with expertise - from selecting, to cutting, to trimming. You won't find better butcher hands.
Prices are very reasonable, with some items going for much less than the supermarket.
Tough to beat if you are particular about your cuts of meat and aren't finding what you need at the typical supermarket.
Added Jun 2018 - Noticed a few customer's complaints about the smell and/or cleanliness. The building is run down, but they are clean butchers. The smell? It smells like a butcher. Please, grow up people.

I appreciate the effort that Cliff's makes to exist, and believe me, it is an effort. They provide an excellent alternative for basic shopping (especially meat) to the big grocery chains. You can have a hard time distinguishing quality, though that's really a nod to how good the meat from Cliff's is.
There are non-meat items here, too, basic convenience-store type stuff. The meat is what you really come here for. The prices are comparable to a Food Lion.Helpful 4Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Afua A.Durham, NC15298Sep 8, 2018
I was looking for a different place to purchase goat meat. I found this on my Google search. It seems reasonable priced (I hope). Bought goat meat $4.99/lb. They chopped up the meat to my preferred size. Friendly staff

It doesn't smell anymore. Service was great!!! Clean the shop has new flooring in the shop. Staff is still nice I will definitely be back because I think they have great pork chops.

I don't get my meat there but some swear by it. I think it's dirty and always smells suspect.
