Based on recent customer reviews, Meat World receives largely critical feedback across multiple branches, with customers consistently mentioning concerns about meat quality, including products that smell off, tough cuts, and biltong or drywors described as over spiced or insufficiently dried. A recurring theme is poor handling of double-charged card transactions, with shoppers feeling unsupported by management. Hygiene practices and staff attitude are also flagged. On the positive side, some customers praise the freshness, variety, and selection at certain stores, indicating that experiences vary significantly by location.

Bought patties from Meat world in Edenvale. When I opened us the packaging , it was all molded. Really bad mold, must have sat on the shelf like that for couple of days.

It's no wonder that there are so many bad reviews on Meat World Wonderboom. The store sells substandard quality meat, to put it politely. The quality of meat is actually awful. They collected poor quality meat from me, with a promise to replace the meat, and now they are failing to do, expecting me to fill in documents which they emailed to me, which was not the arrangement. Most is either extremely tough, or it is off. Do not purchase from them. The meat is only fit for animals. It's the third time that I have received awful quality meat, and incurred a loss of money.

I have noted how people rate Meat World at five stars. Consider this ,they sell beef short rib at R139.95.They then cut the same short rib more chunkier and call it Poitjie beef and charge R 149.95 for the same cut of meat just by calling it some thing else. R10 more per kilo for the same cut. ******* to say the least. Unfortunately customers are to naïve to realise they are being ripped of by this retail store. Unless you have more money then Brains, make a point to check of what you are paying. These guys don't abide to any ethics.

The quality of the meat is really bad. The beef patties have a foul smell. The Jalapeno Wors smells sour. The hygiene has also gone down. They qualify is very very bad. I was a loyal customer but not anymore.
