As featured on Food Network's "Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives", this butcher shop-cum-restaurant specializes in selling smoked meats, homemade links, offal, poultry, and "exotic meats" (like buffalo patties and frog legs) for you to cook at home, or you can choose to let these barbecue masters prepare it for you, either to go or to eat on their covered patio area. (As an aside, they'll also skin an elk or hang a deer for you -- such specialist services are priced by the pound.) See Notes about their second location.

This restaurant was reviewed in the October 2013 LVA; some of the information contained in this review may no longer be accurate. When (and if) you find this place, you’re gonna be surprised. John Mull’s Meats and Deer Processing (its official name) is a butcher shop, on a ranch, located in a residential area way up on the north side of town. No kidding. This place has been in business since 1954, when it opened as a slaughterhouse and meat store, and 60 years later it’s a busy go-to place for people in the know. While the main part of the operation is the butcher shop, there’s also a take-out restaurant called the Road Kill Grill. Combo plates are $14 for two meats and $16 for three. You won’t be able to finish the three-meat combo, but for $2 extra it’s the right play if you can store leftovers (or split it). Meat choices are ribs, brisket, hot links, rib tips, tri-tips (Tues./Thurs. only), ¼ chicken, and pulled pork or chicken, and all meals come with two sides. Most of the meats come in sandwiches for $6-$8. There’s apple or peach cobbler for dessert ($3). Take away or eat at the picnic tables outside. The grill is open 11 am-6 pm Monday-Saturday. It’s cool to run over just to see the place and grab a bite, but what’s really amazing is the selection of meats you can get freshly cut and wrapped to take home. There are about 125 choices total, including turkey chops, goat (steaks and curry-style), beef (cheeks and tongues) and pork (snouts and tails) offal, stew meat, jerky meat, buffalo patties, rabbit, gizzards, Cornish hens, ducks, geese, and frog legs, along with more traditional rib roasts, prime porterhouse and T-bone steaks, whole rounds (steamship), and lunch meats. The easiest way to get there is to head north on Rancho Rd., driving well past the Fiesta. Turn right on Gowan, then left on Thom, and you’re there. We’re not kidding, you’re really gonna be surprised.
