With this we ended up at Smith Family Farms Market on Saturday and purchased 3 beef filets for grilling on Father's Day. The service was great and the people were very friendly and helpful. BUT, the best part was the steaks. These were by far the best steaks we had grilled in a long while. They melted in your mouth they were so tender. I braised them over high heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side. Then grilled them for 8 minutes on each side. They were very thick and turned out beautiful with slight pink center (temperature was about 150° - 155°). As said they were so tender.. We've found a new go to. Our thanks to the people at Smiths for making our Father's Day meal special!!!

This review is for Either Friday or Saturday Oct 8/9, 2021…read more I will say we tried them because they had 5 stars, but sadly only 19 people have reviewed the place, so either they have had more who do not use yelp or others do not leave reviews, which may have made up a difference, for as long they have been in business. I usually like to look thins up before trying local business, especially family owned one's out. I am giving two dates because right now I do not recall which date my partner went in to give these folks a try. Since moving down here we have been looking for a new butcher to shop at as our business was with another local butcher where we lived, so we were could frequent the butcher over store products as 9 times out of 10 butches product is fresher and better depending where you go. So like stated we wanted to give this location a try for the first time. Due to my current health situation with esrd, we tend to not go My partnered had picked up some jerky, a pork shoulder, and Italian sausages. So overall the jerky was ok, and everyone makes their jerky different, but I personally did not care for it, in cased asked why, it was too tough than what I am use to from others. The Italian Sausages, I will say I loved, and will definitely get more if and when we stop in again. Now the reason for 3 stars, I based on both the Pork shoulder and how customer service was handled. I would have given an extra star, but issue was not handled appropriately. I understand this is family ran, I understand how a business is to be ran as I had one for several years, I have as well watched a butcher work their business up north where I am from. The way this location handled issues when my partner called in is not customer service like. I am unsure if regulars get better care than new customers is all I am going to say there. My partner phoned in and the following happen: "She informed about the pork shoulder, was told "we have never had that kind of issue here" Rather than I am sorry and own up to the issue as if we were making something up, we got that and a store credit. So the way the pork shoulder was packaged was as follows: Saran wrap like plastic, and then wrapped in the white like paper. When unwrapping it on Sat or Sunday as it was never frozen, it was suppose to be fresh, I asked what the foul smell was, it was the pork shoulder. I am unsure if the meat was just going bad and this is why this was pushed over the tenderloin we wanted or what the issue was. To owners and staff, we may give you a try again in the near future, and then I will update this review, but until then this is my honest review of our experience of our first time with you guys. I wish it had gone better.

There are also some other goods like spices, insulated totes, and clothing for sale. There are also plastic bags available free of charge if you need them.

I called and they were very nice and said bring them back (about 40 min each way for me) so I told them it would be a while as we were going out of state for a month plus. Knowing it would be a while I wrote who I talked to and the date and then just froze them to bring back later. Today was the day and I went back to meat counter and they asked me to go back up front speak with people at the front counter. Again really nice and said just take it back and have them replace it. This is where you find out how rude and accusatory bad staff can be. He started by saying this was a long time ago, he asked if I he'd left them out in the car over night, if i had waited a long time to use them. The answer was no i had a picture take the next day after the label date from the day before. He then told me that I needed to take them as he did not want any rotten meat. So he took the first for poorly trimmed replacement and packaged them up as I was put them in my cold bag he said I need to take the other one with me. I dont know his name but he was a tallest guy in the back. As I left I told the people upfront (again nice people) that after 10 years of buying here I would not be back. We really like the place and want to support local place but bad employees or maybe he was an owner but either this is how you end up with another empty building in a small town.

Back in December of 2025. I became a customer of Banters. The reason I started with that is because…read morejust this past Tuesday I cooked my last of 2 roast, that I bought along with a tenderloin filet, a pound of boneless chicken breast and 4 pounds of ground beef. It had been some time since I finished off the last of the ground beef. I buried my last roast in my freezer under other frozen items and forgot about it. A week ago I had to purge much of the foods in my freezer and rediscovered the roast. So I decided I should cook it. When I opened the wrap containing my roast, I was delightfully surprised! Not only was it not showing any signs of discoloration, rotting smell or freezer burn, it was blood red as if I had just purchased it. I cooked it low and slow in my oven and after five hours I added the vegetable. It was amazing and delicious. It was just a 2 pounds of chuck roast. I ate it 4 days in a row finishing it off. Honestly, I wished there was more. The purpose of my share is; not only are the butchers friendly, swift and kind. The meat, every bit was absolutely pure, no processing, no Mc Donald type slurry added, no fillers, just REAL, GOOD, QUALITY MEAT. Worth every penny. It's easy to see why the comments and ratings, before mine are mostly five stars (you can literally see the 5 stars busting at the seams) and raving about the service, the quality and freshness. Just like meat was as I was growing up and the way all meat should be. If you're new, or reviewing Banters before shopping them. I highly recommend their shop. Go in and buy one item and see for yourself. You'll be glad you did. We all deserve meat that is healthy, delicious and nutritious, like what we grew up eating. So... "what are you waiting for"? One more thing; they accept SNAP. Bon Appetite!
