I’ve been meaning to try the butcher block for quite some time, because I love the idea of having a good local butcher. The biggest knock against the butcher block is that they are not open on Sundays. I usually BBQ the most on sundays and like to buy my meat fresh, so that’s why it took me so long to come here. I went in after work this week and picked up a couple of new york steaks. The owner was kind enough to cut them fresh for me at a custom thickness because there were none in the cooler. The steaks themselves were really good, but could have used a little more marbling… I couldn’t see them before ordering because they were custom cut, but if I could do it all over again I likely would have gotten the rib eyes because I like a little more fat in my steak. All in all, I can’t wait to go back and get brisket and ribs this summer, because those are my favourite cuts of meat and they are rarely present at grocery stores. It’s great to have a local butcher who can provide the rarer cuts of meat on demand.

I have tried to shop here twice… both times the staff were INCREDIBLY rude. On both visits I left without purchasing anything. The first time was because they barely had anything in the store, and wouldn’t cut any new meat for me(isn’t that the job of a butcher??). Horrible little store. I will never return.
