Mel Armond’s deer processing Slidell

Don't recommend. Lots of better options. Fortenberry, Double D, Days, Tramontes, Bergerons etc

Used Armonds twice. Tamales were very average and they tricked up our sausage order, shite was terrible.

I’ve used armonds before and didn’t care for it. I use fortenberrys for the pineapple and brown sugar sausage, Bergerons for the ground meat mixed with ribeye fat, and Mickey browns for burritos. Bergerons makes burritos and they are good but my wife and kids like Mickey browns better. Also, a friend gave me some deer boudin from Ronnie’s and is was awesome

sorry, but if you think Double D is good,then I question your taste in sausage

Armond's wasn't bad when Preston owned it before he passed away suddenly at a relatively young age...Processing was good...Fresh sausages were good...However his smoking technique and result was not up to par

Now it's called Mel's Armond Meats...I believe Mel worked for Preston and bought/took over when Preston Armond passed.

I haven't processed there since his passing...Wish I could help you more

Edit to Add: Good friend at our lease had a deer done at Alacks in Loranger and the several different flavors of fresh sausage I tried were very good

Sad that Preston passed away. His daughter passed few years prior which was very sad. Felt so bad for Preston and his family.
Preston was good guy

How much do places charge to process a deer? Obviously more sausage options raise the price.
Assume 2 kinds of sausage and roasts with one back leg.

It’s like $2.00 per lb of sausage

I’m gonna try Armond’s out. I’ll report back.

As with everything…..things change.

They still leave the chests outside in the back. But they drain and add ice every day. Doesn’t take them long to get to your deer.

They told me the sausage stuff is my deer. But the ground, tamales, burritos is a combo because they do a lot at a time. I dunno we will see.

Me and my family and friends normally use Fotenberrys . Me and my buddy decided to use Armond’s because it was closer to home once and decide it wasn’t worth it in the long run . Not as good and overpriced at the time two years ago .
