Absolutely outstanding! This is a proper butcher with excellent quality local meat. Exceptional service and hats off to head butcher Tamecah Howe and her team.
Ive been going to this butcher for 6 plus years, after my last visit it may be my last unfortunately. They have alot of positives but it’s over shadowed by the awful attitude most of the staff have. Their boneless/skinless chicken breast is great. But as of recently, I’ve noticed the chicken is poorly cut with lots of cartilage on the meat and for the price, that shouldnt happen. The only staff that is super helpful is Randall. He is great, polite and knows about the meats. Give that guy a raise. The attitude by the other butchers(besides Randall), has been awful, they always seem upset or unwilling to answer questions and it comes with attitude when you ask simple things like is the meat grass fed or grain. I’m not asking to be best friends but the people working there should have at the very least a friendly attitude. I have to single out Ben, I see him everytime I am there and no matter how long the lines are he is unwilling to help out or answer questions about the meats. The last time I was in I asked if they had any chicken bones that were in the price range of $5-9 as they only had $20 and up in the freezer. The kid serving me, said that was all they had. When asking Ben he just said whatever he said is what we have but then upon realizing I was asking about bones he was like oh yeah we’ve got some that I can give you.
Best butcher in the city! Love the variety of local farms that they get their meat from. They also stock some amazing local vegetables, eggs and cheese. The staff here always greet you with a smile and are willing to go above and beyond. Highly recommend.
I am done with this butcher. I've been going to this butcher for 4 years and they've gotten worse and worse. The service is lousy, they are consistently out of product and the attitude is ridiculous. I have only continued to go because they are the only butcher my neighborhood, but I'd rather plan in advance and order meat elsewhere. Here are a few examples of what I have experienced -Consistently overcharged. They weight meat at a price higher than the listed price. This has happened to me and my partner multiple times. Check your bill if you shop here Attitude -The attitude is ridiculous. When I correctly showed them they overcharged, they had no idea what to do. I had to offer solutions like maybe a refund or a free bulb of garlic - I asked for 1 pound of chicken thighs to have the skin removed, and the older man huffed and puffed and said "fine I guess". I asked if there was a problem and he said "well you came in 5 minutes before closing. We packed up". I acknowledge I came in 5 minutes before closing, but if you can't do it, just be polite and say "I apologize but we only can offer services up to 6:30pm." Or, "I am happy to do it, but if you would like services next time, please time to come in a bit earlier." There is a way to communicate to customers. General incompetence - I asked for a whole chicken to be cut into its individual piece, for it to de-skined, and for the larger pieces, like the breast, to be cut into thirds for a curry and for the thigh and drum to be separated. I asked this well in advance of closing. When I tell you the commotion this caused. "This is a lot of work" "This is too difficult" "This is not possible". I don't understand what was so difficult about my request. You're supposed to be a full service butcher. They finally did it though, but not without a heavy dose of attitude on top of the incompetence. If you're going to be a premium butcher, then provide a premium service. Personally after years of buying meat here, I'm done. I'd rather go vegetarian than deal with then again
Brilliant butchers, great product. However, their Irish breakfast sausage is unfortunately not what you're hoping for. Its too high quality and it has no rusk. You are better off getting the frozen stuff if you're looking for authentic flavour. Id love them to rise to the challenge to lovingly recreate the Supequinn OGs with a butchers twist.
very good quality been my families go to since discovering this neighborhood gem a few months ago. Also to add the older gentleman who works there is very helpful and cheerful.
My go-to butcher shop! Amazing quality, friendly service, and well-priced. What’s especially nice is that in addition to having classic meats, they also have pre-spiced or pre-marinated meats. There have also been times when I would walk in, be inspired by a meat, and ask the employees here how to cook it. All in all, would highly recommend!
