Hagberg's Meat Market -Best Secret Around!

11325 Stillwater Blvd. N. Lake Elmo, MN 55042


Not many outside of Lake Elmo are familiar with Hagberg's.  Many fill up their gas unawares that in the back of Hagberg's lies one of the most respectable meat markets in the Twin Cities.


A family owned operation for many generations, Hagberg's has all the qualities you look for in a meat market-and then some.  To go on about all the food they make, and what they do would take forever, so I will give a rundown of some of the good stuff, and then you can figure the rest out for yourself.


Firstly, they make sandwiches to order, BIG, BIG sandwiches.  You choose your meats, cheeses, and condiments and I usually get the porketta with pepper jack cheese on a wheat bun with BBQ sauce.  The creation is my younger brothers, and it is delicious and filling.  The mix of pepper jack cheese, BBQ sauce, and their well seasoned pork on a warm, airy bun makes for a delightful combo, and a happy stomach.  There are daily specials for different sandwiches, and should you see the porketta on the day you come in, try that combo.


Besides ordering a sandwich custom made, the meat market has a plethora of options from which to choose from, including the recently added burgers they started making, which are a personal highlight for myself and friends on NFL Sundays early in the season before the snow falls.  My favorite is the Blue Cheese infused burger, but they are all good, and I will also give a shout out to the bacon/jalapeno cheese burger, and the mushroom swiss patties.


Besides the meat options, they have local foods and sauces, and the multi talented Billy Hagberg makes a magnificent homemade birdseed that is very popular with those lucky enough to have achieved flight..for those feathered friends choose his seed over all others.


You can also get pig ears for your dog to chew on, (every canine's universally favorite treat) and when you purchase something there, you can take comfort that you are supporting your local community.
