Grilling season: Heights Meat Market is Tampa’s spring holiday hotspot

The exterior of a store

If the winter holidays are for hot cocoa and unwrapping presents, then the spring holidays are all about grilled meats and backyard cookouts. As the weather invites us outdoors, Heights Meat Market, located at 4001 N Florida Avenue, is our go-to for high-quality and exotic meats (as well as sides, equipment, sauces and more).

With Easter, Mother’s Day, and Memorial Day all on the horizon – along with picture-perfect weather this time of year – the spring holiday season is officially upon us, and Heights Meat Market is a one-stop-shop for all of our grilling needs. We’ve written before about the incredibly high-quality meats the local gem provides, and one of our favorite aspects is the daily, weekly and monthly specials that make it easy to feed the whole family (or friend group) without breaking the bank.

An array of various meats and supplies

Over years of dining out, cooking in, and even judging competitions, there is one lesson we’ve learned that stands above the rest when it comes to meat: quality matters. Steak should be tender and rich, not tough and bland. Chicken should be juicy and plump, and pork should cut apart with ease.

Meat quality matters, and that’s why Heights Meat Market, a Tampa gem, has been our go-to since opening in 2018. And it’s not just for the quality of their offerings, but for the vast selection you can’t find anywhere else in the city.

Just a quick scan of the meats available shows how deep their repertoire goes. Not only are there nearly 20 high-quality Black Angus steaks on the list (the Prime 45-day dry-aged Tomahawk Ribeye is among the best splurge dishes in Tampa), they have an astounding 16 different varieties of Wagyu available, from the revered Kagoshima A5 Japanese Wagyu to a dozen different types of Australian and American Wagyu.

All of the seafood at Heights Meat Market, from the red grouper and mahi mahi to the Alaskan halibut and yellowfin tuna, is wild-caught. All the chicken is antibiotic- and hormone-free, whether you get it whole or in breasts, wings, thighs or tenders. And most notably for our BBQ enthusiasts, they carry the highly-esteemed Duroc pork, celebrated for its succulence and fine marbling. From ribs, butts and belly to chops, sausages and bacon, this is the best kind of pork you can get anywhere.

We also understand that groceries need to be bought on a budget these days, especially for families. But that doesn’t mean you have to skimp on quality. Heights Meat Market’s constantly rotating selection of weekly and monthly specials putts some of their best products at a deep discount.

The ‘Two-fer TewzDay’ always picks two of their most popular items and drop the price considerably. Last week, for example, the Black Angus filet mignon was only $23.99, while a pound of Durham Ranch ground elk was on sale for just $12.99.
