Prime Rib Dinner

Our History

The Meat Shoppe, Inc. is an on- and off-premise catering business founded by Rick and Judy Keller in 1984. Rick is a master meat cutter and has been cutting since 1974. This experience allows Rick to process all the steaks, roasts and ground chuck, fresh, for the Meat Shoppe menu. Our family-recipe garlic sausage, Seasoned Roast Beef, Shredded Beef, Pulled Pork, and Rib Eye Steaks are also made fresh by Rick. 


The Meat Shoppe's famous Prairie Gold Seasoning is used to season many of Our meats such as steaks and roast beef. We also use it on vegetables and Chicken. Prairie Gold Seasoning is available for purchase in 8 and 16 ounce containers. Click on the link above.

In 1993, the Meat Shoppe was awarded the exclusive catering contract for The Gering Civic Center.

In 1998, The Meat Shoppe took over as the Civic Center private Contract Managers.

Our location in the Gering Civic Center allows us to host groups from 10 to 700. The 30 year-old Civic Center averages more than 55,000 attendees per year in the City of Gering. In 2021, the Civic Center completed a total building update with new carpeting, new colors, new lobby fireplace and remodeled restrooms.


We will also cater your special event at your office, home or event site. The largest catered event was  the 2017 Cattleman's Ball. We served Rib Eye Steaks, augratin potatos and BBQ Green Beans to over 3700 attendees.
