This is the best butcher shop!!! The meats are incredible and the people are even better! Thank you for being a staple in our little Bluff Park community!
We have lived in the Bluff Park area for 3 years and I am so ashamed to say that my first time visiting Mr. P's was this past Saturday for the #ShopSmall event. However ashamed I was of myself I definitely was NOT disappointed in the food and experience. I had the Craw Daddy sandwich that had cajun spiced roast beef and pepper jack cheese. My mouth felt like it was in New Orleans during Mardi Gras. I took a menu home and will most certainly be ordering from them again.
Great sandwiches and a friendly staff! Must go! If you're ever in Hoover you must go! Totally an original! Try it if you can! Love it! They have more sandwich choices than you can imagine!
Great sandwiches and even good microwaved hamburgers. You should definitely check out the great selection of meat sans the old school chicken fingers. Great local shop. Still I must add not ass good as when Chris Parks was behind the counter but still a great place.

Great...but too popular for their space. Wonderful meat on a huge piled high sandwich. Dozens of choices. Great Mr. P's BBQ sauce that actually goes good on any and every sandwich they have. OK...so a sandwich is 2 things, meat & bread. Their meat is wonderful, their bread comes from Kroger. Wish they would step up on that side. But I'll admit the meat was good enough to not notice. Biggest problem I had was this wonderful little hole in the wall place had simply outgrown its space. Yet the space is what makes it. What do you do? It is so tight & crowded you get to know folks...But is that really a bad thing? No, but it still is trying to wait 20-30 mins. an a simple sandwich. Look, these guys write your order down an the tiny 1/2 inch tear off stub on the end of a basic green & white receipt...And line them up and try and fill the orders. They just can't keep up with the dozens and dozens of orders at lunch time. But really, just chill out and enjoy the ride. Places like this don't exist in most cities. It ain't Subway folks...
Best sandwich I have ever ate. Would go again and again. Go Mets
Is this a gas station?. I can't believe this place is so good. If you like a good, meaty sandwich in a (very) casual atmosphere, this is the place. Truely, thier sandwiches are second to none. I love the Zapp's Vodo Chips, too. Where I'm from in Georgia, a lot of remote gas stations offer country cooking buffets. People in the know will drive out to the sticks for Sunday lunch. Mr. P's isn't a gas station, technically, but they have the same set up as those kinds of places. And food good enough for a drive across town. Fortunately, I'm closer than that :-)
Can't Miss with Mr. P's!. Bluff Park's very best secret. Phenomenally fresh beef and amazing deli sandwiches will knock your socks off. Frequently see 'Mr. P' himself tending the register, or helping customers in the store. THIS is how you do it.
Best sandwich ever.. I travel with work a few weeks a month and always look to try places I can't get at home. What a gem of a place Mr. P's is, so good we went for lunch two days in a row.
The Goldenburg is hands down the best sandwich I have ever eaten. The Awesome Austin was fantastic also.
Neat little hole in the wall place. Give it a try.
Wonderful meats and spices! The freebird is my favorite sandwich!

Mr. P's - A Simple Classic. I'm a guy. Give me any variety of awesome meat, melted cheese, and tasty sauce on a bun and I'm a very happy guy. Side items? Sure, if you have them (and they do) but I'm cool with a bag of chips and I'll get my own drink from the fountain, thank you. I'll sit at one the odd, mismatched tables in a worn, plastic chair, my back against this refrigeration case, and wait (sometimes) for quite a few minutes. Why? Because, like the rest of the carnivores packed in this makeshift dining room, I know this sandwich, whichever one I've ordered, is going to blow me away with its meaty goodness.
The meats and cheese are top quality, no doubt. They could probably do more with the choice of breads (but hey, this is a butcher, not a bakery). But the real secret is in the seasonings and the sauces, some made by (or for) Mr P, others acquired over the years from other landmarks. No matter what combination of meats and cheese, they seem to have found the perfect sauce and seasonings to make it unique and memorable.
That's why I don't have a favorite. Each trip I just pick at random, or have them suggest something. Never been disappointed. But my first sandwich there was the "Big Daddy" - roast beef, cheddar, bacon and bbq sauce (oh my!!) So if I had to recommend one, it would be that.
And if you've never patronized a real butcher, it's time you start. The big chain stores have all but killed the local neighborhood butcher shop, while lowering our collective standards in terms of what a good cut of meat should cost and how it should cook and taste. Thank goodness Mr. P and a few others have found communities that support them.
Stupid Crazy Good. One guy takes your order, couple of guys fix the best sandwich you've ever had (each and every time, no lie), then you pay a guy before you leave. Could you ask for anything simpler? The Jethro (stupid good) The New York Yankee (stupid good) the muffaletta (stupid good. and if you finish it you should reward yourself and buy a t-shirt, some beer, and some local sauces and/or rubs). Full disclosure: I do not nor have I ever worked here. And if I didn't live across town, I'd have to take out a Mr. P's loan from the nearest bank.
