Business of the Month – Tucker Meat Market

Tucker is known for many things: a charming Main Street, the railroad, the friendliest people in Georgia. But have you ever stopped to think about the fact that Tucker has some serious bragging rights when it comes to hamburgers?

For almost a decade, Local 7 has been delighting customers with their burger selection. Then came Village Burger with an array of beef, turkey and veggie patties. And, of course, there are the classic chain options of McDonald’s, Burger King, Cookout and Five Guys. But for five years, Tucker burger lovers have journeyed off the beaten path for something a bit different, a burger from Tucker Meat Market.

“In addition to being an old neighborhood butcher with quality fresh meats, we also offer prepared foods like our famous, handcrafted Mammoth Burger and made-from-scratch Buffalo chicken dip,” said Tucker Meat Market owner Andrea Woolf.

Woolf presides over a menu that, while focused primarily on burgers, is incredibly diverse. Take, for instance, her Bacon Overload burger, which is a half-pound of bacon-infused ground beef topped with bacon-infused cheddar cheese and four strips of, you guessed it, thick cut bacon.

“I make what I like to eat,” Woolf explained.

Woolf really lets her creativity flow each summer at the World Food Championships. She finished 10th place in 2018 with an entry that included her Mammoth Burger. Last year, she couldn’t match the 10th place finish, but Woolf still wowed the crowd with her Cowboy Burger.

Woolf says her operation is more than burgers, though. She runs a full-service butcher shop with everything from deli meats and cheeses to ribs and cuts of steak. They are also active on social media, letting customers know about specials like homemade chicken and dumplings or chili.

Tucker Meat Market is located at 2187 Brockett Road. You can find them online at facebook.com/TuckerMeatMarket.
