Over Christmas break, my friend Shawna shared a family tradition where she makes Philly Cheesesteaks on Christmas Eve. I really loved the idea and figured it would be a fun change of pace as this year has been such a crazy one anyways! One of the most important and valuable questions that I asked her in follow up was, "where do you get your shaved steak from?" The answer leads me here to Bogner's. What a cool find in Manchester. There were so many people picking up holiday orders when I walked in and I know why now. Because they are awesome! Not one, not two, but three people helped me with my purchases and finding the 10 pounds of shaved steak that i needed for a really great price at that. I walked out of there with all sorts of fun things too- like onion rings, french fries, chicken tenders, pickles, sauces---they have so many things you might need and again- all for great prices! What a find! Everyone was as friendly as can be and the end result- the cooked Philly Cheesesteaks--so delicious! I will certainly keep this tradition going not only for Christmas, but also for other friend and family gatherings in the future. It's just really fun and we can all use a little more fun in our lives, right?! Cheers and Happy New Year! Can't wait to visit Bogner's again! Definitely check them out! read more

See all

Excellent quality and everyone is super friendly and courteous. Love the various salads made up and best ever meat bundles. read more

The meats here are absolutely delicious! They have everything you could think of! We get their ground sirloin to make burgers and its absolutely amazing! read more

We've been going there for many years. Wonderful meat and cold cuts along with prepared foods, snacks, dog treats and great friendly service. read more

Not to be cliché, but this is a hidden gem. You do have to get past the smell of the dog products at the start of the store, but they have an interestingly, curated selection of items for sale, and the meat case, and deli are fully stocked. I have never been disappointed. My guess is they will do special orders, and watch their weekly sale flyer. I think when they move, they are going to get slammed and hope that the quality service remains. read more

Nevermind ambiance nevermind service . Both are fine , but whats important here in this subject is the QUALITY of the meat your buying . I did not enjoy eating anymore then i went to Bogner's, going from a chain to this place was incredible ! . read more

Bogner's Meat Outlets - Barbeque'd chicken tenderloins . Over cooked obviously but still tender . So good . - Meat Shops Near Me - Manchester, Connecticut

You can't beat their meat. Sorry about the pun. But they have high quality meats for sale. Couldn't find beef ribs anywhere. But they had them in abundance. If you should really come and check out the variety read more

If you want amazing meat at reasonable prices - check this place out. It's not a store, and has limited hours, but if you can get there before 6PM Tues-Friday, or before 3PM on a Saturday - it's worth a stop. They cut the meat on-site - and distribute to local restaurants, etc. Why not cut out the middle man? I like the Kansas City strip, and the hot dogs are good if you don't mind that they're "natural casing." Be prepared for a line, however. More and more people are starting to find out about this place...(Yea yea...I know...my yelping's not helping...). Very early morning might be a good bet on Saturdays... read more

I've always bought the Kansas City steaks and they were great. I bought 6 last week and they were the toughest steaks I've had in a long time. I'm going back to Stew Leonard's. (Yes they were cut correctly). read more

yea, that reminds me, gotta yelp bogner's, 526am on a sunday? prime time to do so! (its a meat thing) so we have now begun to frequent bogner's more and more and buy meat at the "stores" less and less! tips? their bacon is unbelievably (until you actually visit) awesome. they even have a peppered bacon, same low price. i bought a pork butt for pulled pork, they trimmed the hide no problem. i also got their porterhouse burgers. they arent made of porterhouse, they just look like little steaks. you do not need to run there right now for those, but they were still very good. they also have some regular groceries, but this place isnt about that, its about great fresh meat cut to your specs and very affordable. i hope you enjoyed reading this yelp, id steak my rep on it! read more

MEEEAAATTTTT! Cheeeappp meeeaaaaaatttt! My boyfriend and I recently stopped into Bogner's to scope out the selection, hoping for a broad array of exotic meats (I really wanted antelope burgers!) but our hopes were in vain. Ok, even though we didn't leave with anything too out of the ordinary, we picked up some meaty babyback ribs and a few cornish game hens. We prepared meals over the next few days and the meats were awesome! Super tender. The overall experience at Bogner's was pretty solid. This family-owned wholesale butchery cuts the meat in their store and distributes to restaurants, but has a small retail store where the public can purchase meats, sauces, etc. The staff was friendly and helpful, the meat selection was great (although nothing terribly out of the ordinary, much to my dismay), and we left happy and ready to cook! read more

I was headed to Arnold's in MA and decided to stop at Bogner's because a) I had never been b) I wanted to compare the two and c) figured if the reviews were as good as people said, this place would be awesome. I walked in and after looking at barren freezer space and a small rinky dink counter area, wIwalked out 2 minutes later. Unfortunately, I had high hopes for this particular establishment and was really let down. Their selection was absolutely horrible (in my opinion) and what they DID have, was burgers that had random bits of crap thrown in them ala gourmet style. Again, I thought this place was pricey for what they had. Maybe I'm missing something - another room perhaps? A secret door around the corner? Now that I know the difference, I'll drive the extra 30 minutes to Arnold's where the prices are great and so is the selection. I wanted to like this place but just can't... read more

So, I've been driving to the far side of Vernon every time I wanted to pick up fresh meat. Why didn't anyone inform me there was a Bogner's almost literally in my backyard? Good cuts of meat and fair prices. My only complaint is their selection. I'd like to see more exotic meats stocked. read more

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Good prices, good selection of products. Support local, highly recommended.

Around since 1942, Bogner's has been providing quality meat products to restaurants and the local community alike. Buying from quality suppliers and wholesalers, Bogner's doesn't disappoint when it comes to fresh and quality meat at affordable prices. Unfortunately, there's not much of a selection of exotic meats like bison or venison. I found out though that they can special order any of that in the retail store. A great way to stock up on meats and save money, their meat bundles are a popular item. You can find them in-store or online. Bogner's also specializes in raw pet foods through their sister company Bravo Pet Foods (Manchester Location) Premium pet foods include raw and/or all natural frozen/freeze-dried foods, treats, chews, bones and supplements for dogs and foods, treats and supplements for cats. FYI - If you check the local Reminder or Journal Inquirer, there is always a weekly ad that promotes current sales and deals as well as coupons. read more

OK, so I don't eat meat anymore. However we fed our dog the raw diet and visit Bogner's every two weeks to get a supply of chicken bravo. Strengths: When I did eat meat the quality of the meat was very high, the prices are reasonable and the meat bundles are an excellent deal! We have been buying Bravo dog food for our dogs do years. The food is very high quality and our dogs love it! The bravo includes raw meat, ground bones, organ meat and veggies everything a healthy dog needs in their diet! They also have dog treats and chews readily available. Bogners sells more than just meat!! They have fresh vegetable as well as frozen items. The frozen cheese raviolis are my favorite! Needs: I hate to say it, but I have a difficult time with the smell of the store. It smells very strongly of meat which is has been unappealing to me even when I was a carnivore. The hours can be inconvenient, they are not open late any day and only til noon on Saturday. read more

I recently discovered Bogners Meat Outlet and am so glad I did! They have a fantastic variety of meats and some ready made items that are so delicious I'm addicted. I never realized they have a market in the back with frozen,locally made entree's and the most delicious looking dessert. They also sell staples like seasonings and sauces. The staff are always helpful and knowledgeable about their products. If you're looking for great quality meat,Bogners is the place to go. read more

The prices here no longer justify the trip. You will find equal or better quality at your favorite supermarket with better value and friendlier service. read more

I called this morning to order a Fathers Day bundle. The clerk was extremely rude and arrogant .I will take my business elsewhere.

The best place to buy your meats. The service is fantastic, super friendly! The prices are very reasonable. You won't be disappointed!

I have been buying meat at a local high end market for years, Just discovered Bogners a few months ago, despite my husband always giving it an A+. I am now totally hooked. Just ordered PRIME rib roast for $10.49/lb. The high end market has it at $12.99 and it's only Choice. So many choices, pheasant, duck, tenderloin, boar's Head cold cuts. Go you will love it! read more

It's nice to run into a butcher shop to get meats instead of the box grocery stores. I realize they are more of a "red meat" place but I really think if they upped their chicken game it would be beneficial. They do carry chicken but people who know what chicken should taste like are looking for Bell and Evans and not what they offer. Kansas City steaks are amazing as is most of their meat for freshness, etc. The deli is great option and it is staffed with a very nice and helpful woman. I'd like to see the meat counter help a bit more friendly and accommodating. Sometimes gruff and not so friendly - they certainly are not helpful when you ask questions about meats, cuts and cooking times and I base this on what I witness and receive. On one last note, the cashier is who I see last and as I leave. Her kindness to all customers is probably why I return! read more

Nothing better then Bogners. Try their slab bacon--- life changing. They have everything and prices are good. I buy all my meat here, it's the best in the area. Butchers are always helpful. read more

Impressed with the freshness of meat offered. Nothing like a supermarket. I expected like a mom and pop store. Friendly and knowledge staff. Glad you accepted credit as we bought more than 50 dollars worth of rib roast, sausage, bacon and stew meat. Will come back often rather than a supermarket. Thank you for being near to where I reside. read more

If you want to save and get fresh meats all in one place, Bogner's is your spot! They have a decent selection of product and you can buy in bulk. This way youre saving money and you rarely have to go out shopping for your meats. read more

Been going to Bogner's for years and mostly had great experiences, but had one day when staff was a littler ornery- I complained- got a shrug of the shoulders from them. Oh well. I don't shop there as often anymore because of it but still a good place for quality meat. read more

Best prices on fresh and delicious meat and deli! Staff is always helpful and friendly . The store is clean with fresh produce and dairy. Been going for years and will continue! read more

I started to have Bogner meats when I worked at a restaurant. They have the BEST all beef hot dogs. I can not eat any other kind. I have bought their prestuffed hamburgers with bacon a.d cheddar cheese. Best burger I have had. And all of the pede frozen pasta is restaurant quality at excellent prices. read more

I went to Bogner's for the first time yesterday after hearing about it from family & friends. I can't believe I have lived in Manchester for 8 years and have never been to this place! I ordered the Bogner bargain bundle which had 3 lbs of hamburger, 3 lbs shaved steak, 3 lbs pork ribs, 2 lbs sausage, a whole chicken, a chuck roast and 3 lbs of bacon. I was able to seperate it into 14 meals for $70! I have a full freezer and can't wait to try every thing. Last night I cooked some of the shaved steak over rice and it was great! I normally shop at Big Y but from now on I think I will be going to Bogner's for meat. MUCH cheaper! You can even get deli meat & cheese as well as milk & eggs while you're there. They have some vegetables and freezer stuff too. The staff was very friendly and helpful also. I recommend everyone give it a try! read more

All around bad experience. Won't be back. I'll pay a bit more for a better steak. Their Kansas City Strips are nothing like NY Strip, beware. read more

This is the best place to go for deli meat. The line is long sometimes but it's worth it. Things move along quickly. Also, I love the fact that they sell fresh eggs and veggies from local farmers. Now they have homemade dog food and sell the bones. The staff is AWESOME--some of the nicest and most knowledgeable. It seems that their beef prices have gone up quite a bit in the last couple of years, but then, who's prices are the same as they were years ago? read more

Took me years before I finally went into the store because when driving by it is not all that inviting. Friends kept saying how good the meat was so I finally tried it and have been a regular ever since. Prices are reasonable and quality is high. They also have deli meats at great prices. The bacon and the Kansas City Strips are my favorites. Don't hesitate to stop in, you will not regret it. read more
