Two Fat Butchers

Butcher shops I believe are pretty hard to come by. I stopped by here for their deli sandwich shop. I ordered the Cuban and a friend order the BBQ loaf, which I never heard of. The sandwich was good, the meat was sliced right then. But there was nothing that really stood out about the sandwich. The Cuban was pressed with a sandwich presser but lacked time or heat because it didn’t have the nice grill marks, just very faint.
The Butcher side has a variety of meat cuts from the standard cow pig and poultry. They also have some elk, Buffalo, venison, and etc. They have a lot of different types of in house sausages and ground meats. Overall the prices are kind of on the high end but assuming the meats are of higher quality than normal grocery stories then it should be worth it. One day ill bring a cooler and buy a bunch of their sausages for a cook out to see how good their meats are.

The barbecue they sell out front is phenomenal. The smoked chicken is possibly the best we’ve ever had. We go out of our way to plan a day that involves picking their BBQ up to go and taking it to Shenandoah River State Park or Shenandoah National Park. The pulled pork and ribs are also great.

Just paid $ 8 for a plate of tough chewy fat that they pass off for brisket out in their parking lot stand. Don’t waist your time or money.

We purchased one of the weekly packs and it was a great value. The staff has been friendly and the prices are good. Ordered by phone with no problems. I was able to substitute the bacon as we has plenty in the freezer. Reminds me of what a town butcher should be. The place is very clean and doesn’t smell like a meat department. It has become our staple place for meat.

They had these gigantic beef hot dogs in the case that were AMAZING when we charcoal grilled them. Potato salad and pulled pork were so-​so. The BBQ chicken and ribs in the parking lot are decent but they are missing good veggie options to sell with them. If you want meat and potato chips, they have you covered though. Skip the sandwiches in back of the store at the counter and go next door to Crazy Carl’s for delicious sub sandwiches. Get your hot dogs here at Two Fat Butchers though!

I always get their sausages for grilling out. Great stuff! And today Saturday April 11, 2014 I was so happy they had their smoker out and selling BBQ. But I was really disappointed at the portions of the BBQ sandwich (pulled pork) years prior they’d give you plenty of pork, enough to make two sandwiches almost. But today it was barely an ice-​cream scooper full, barely enough for one sandwich. You almost couldn’t taste the BBQ past the humongous buns. Oh, prices went also. The ribs were the same, ok, very wet. IF I go back and they’re still skimpy on the portions, I’ll take a pic.

They are great! Meat is always fresh and yummy. The sell great sides. Staff is friendly and nice.

Two fat Butchers had some pretty interesting cuts of meat. I came in because I was looking to find out about purchasing bison (buffalo) meat for a frend of mine. The owner took some time to come out of the back (where he had been cutting and wrapping delicious looking cuts of beef) and answer some of my questions. I was impressed by his knowledge, and the variety offered: veal, elk, bison, alligator, frog legs, etc. I was not in to make a purchase, but he still took the time to discuss various parts of the business with me. I will return.
