We bought some Steak Tips for a cookout today. The person at the counter was pleasant and helpful. It's a small, old school meat market. The Steak Tips were not the expected quality as there were more of the tough, chewy ones than the "buttery soft" ones that we were promised. The price was a bit higher than at grocery stores but in line with other butcher shops in the area. Overall, just okay but we probably won't be back. read more

I went here for the very first time and asked for two tenderloin steaks and specified that they be 1.5". Since I was new there I looked around a bit and found something else that I wanted. When I got home while the height was correct there was only one steak and I live a half hour away! This did not leave a good impression on me and I won't be back. read more

If your wife needs a place to get some good meat,send her here you won't be let down.these guys got the beef

Love Brown & Budnicks! The staff is incredibly helpful, food selection is great and always fresh. Whether grabbing food for ourselves, taking it for family cookouts or care packages for our loved ones, Brown and Budnick's is our go to and we've never been disappointed! read more

Food is great, have not gotten anything less than great quality. In the past I had experienced the same feeling that I was bothering them but that seems to have gotten better. I would suggest they update the pricing on their website, went in with a price in mind and left about $2.50 per pound higher. All in all good food and service has been good!! read more

I simply stopped going here because of their customer service. There is usually a nice kid at the register, but behind the butcher counter is another story. I shouldn't feel like you are doing ME a favor by waiting on me, but that's what it feels like. As if you are somehow inconveniencing them. Always irritable, and I have tried to overlook it having been there a number of times over the past couple of years (including during COVID, when you weren't allowed to even enter the premises and had to place your order outside and wait in your car). I patronized brown and budnick nonetheless because they are a local business. Frankly, I just want to be treated like a valued customer nowadays, so I drive by them and get my meat elsewhere. read more

Showed up 20 minutes prior to close. They were rude and seemed like we were inconveniencing them. It doesn't take that long to grab a few things. They said they don't need our business and he confirmed it with the owner. I would rather go somewhere where the owner/staff wants business. read more

Great selection, chubby steak tips are a must have! I highly recommend for any BBQ needs!

Treated very rudely by owner on Sunday 4/28. Meats are good but his behavior was abysmal as there's no excuse to treat customers this way. Even after his initial poor attitude I attempted to let him off the hook by continuing to be civil but he just doubled down on his nasty behavior. I've never been treated as shabbily as this so shame on this clueless owner read more

An amazing family owned butcher shop that is run with pride and integrity. I will recommend this shop to everyone! I have never met a person who hasn't loved what I have gotten from them! Amazing men with amazing work ethic. 10/10 every time. read more

My family's been using B&B for about 20 years. This is by far the best butcher in dracut and one of the best in the area. We have used them for catering events which has always been exceptional and also frequent their shop for marinated tips, chicken and custom cut beef. This should be your go-to for marinated meats for the grill. Good people, family style operation. Get some stuffed peppers too. read more

Such a great shop! Everytime I've been in here everyone is friendly and helpful. Any meats we have tried have been delicious. We also love the buffalo chicken dip it is amazing. Can't go wrong visiting here. read more

Not sure if this was a bad day for Budnicks, like we all have, but this is what happened today. My husband walked in at 5 minutes of 4 on Sunday. The open light turned off as he got out of his car. He knew it was last minute and asked if he was too late. He was told they would serve him but with attitude. He ordered two sirloin strip steaks and as they were being cut, he was looking in the freezer section. He was then told "Sir... your steaks are ready" (he did not see the steaks being cut) so he went to the register with some frozen stuff and got a response of "oh, you want that too". The attitude was not pleasant but my husband took his stuff and left. When he got home and opened the steak, he had to cut off a bunch of fat which could have equaled a pound. Which wouldn't be a huge problem but apparently they wanted to close and were not happy with another customer. Normally, in the past, they would trim this fat. At the price per pound, you would hope for less fat and better customer service. Needless to say, service could have been better but we are just hoping the steaks are worth it! End result.. my husband had been a patron of Budnicks but has had better experiences dealing with the butchers at the grocery stores. read more

See all

My boyfriend and I always get the maple bourbon steak tips and the Chinese style ribs. The steak tips are incredibly tender and are perfectly marinated. The Chinese style ribs cook up great on the grill, and taste better than those from some local restaurants! We haven't really tried too many other things because why mess with perfection?! But soon! read more

I ordered 6 burgers 1 Italian sausage and a ribeye 1 1/2 inches thick.... what i received 6 burgers really hard to mess that up a sausage... if it was an itialian sausage it was by far the most bland one ive ever had ive had a better tasting jimmy dean microwavable sausage... and a ribeye that was well over 2 1/2 inches thick easily closer to 3in and at 15.99 a pound that makes a difference... i will not be back read more

Love this place. Always go in a pinch for dinner items they always have something put together that you can just throw on the grill or in the oven. Steaks are unbelievable, marinated steak tips are great. Never had a bad experience here. Staff is very friendly and always looking to help. read more

This review is of their boneless Chinese style spare ribs. In a word, AMAZING! We have had them a few times at BBQs at my cousin's house. We will be travelling all the way from Fitchburg to get some this amazing ribs. Well worth the trip. We might grab some marinated chicken while we're there, just to see if their other items are just as yummy. I'm sure they will be. read more

Some of the best steak tips you will find, barely have to chew them. Then there's these cold cut stuffed banana peppers in the cooler that are great for cookouts and the best part is their bacon. They smoke their own brown sugar bacon and cut it down or sell by the slab. It's the tastiest lil bits of life shortening meat and I usually buy several pounds at a time. read more

Forget you local supermarkets, the meat and prices in this place can't be beat, Also right next door is C&C Seafood. Best Friggin Fried Clams I've ever had. read more

I keep going back and their meats are always the best! I get some Boars Head products there too. The guys who own the place are the nicest which prompted me to write this review! read more

We've been coming here for many years mostly for BBQ meats. The "Chubby's" marinated steak tips have always been a big hit at our BBQ's. I also buy the unmarinated steak and I dry season rub before barbecuing. The steak is always tender and a real treat. The marinated chicken breast is also very good. Prices range in the $14-$15 / lb. for steak tips, so we get them for special occasions. I've experienced on multiple visits where I would stop in and peruse the case, I've been met with a rushed and impatient attitude from the person behind the counter as if you are inconveniencing them by spending your money in their store. I understand they are busy, but they could be a bit more friendlier to their customers considering your in there supporting their business. I can tell, at times, their main focus is shoveling as much product out the door as fast as possible. Their website even has written verbatim "DELI CLOSES 30 MIN PRIOR TO STORE CLOSING!!!!" which is buried at the bottom of their products page. So I guess the local customer is supposed to know this walking in off the street!!! They seem to have a lot of other complimentary items for sale, but I always feel rushed, so I don't bother and get my meat and get out. I've also called in large orders for pick-up which has worked out well and they suggest that on their website. I've also had catered pick-ups done, which turned out ok. They do have some of the best meat in the area, so my suggestion would be know what you want before you stop in or place an order by phone for pick-up which has seemed to be the best method. read more

My wife arraigned to buy a whole pig BBQ... we picked up the pig, BBQ pit and maple wood on Sunday morning. We were given instructions on how to prepare the fire, recommended temperature and time estimate. Everything was spot on.. (the pig was done within 15 minutes of their estimate). Super easy. I was a little worried as we have never done an whole pig but they were so helpful we pulled it off without any problems. read more

Awesome service,,, great quality meats!!!!!!!!!! Pleasantly surprised at what they also carry, pot pies,pulled pork, ect

Second time I am disappointed. First time ordered two 1" porter house steaks got home and they smelled old. Second time went for deli meat, they close at 6pm did not know they stopped slicing meat at 5:30 pm. I got there right before 5:30 and they said sorry just finished cleaning the slicer you are out of luck. In my mind if you stop slicing meat at 5:30 pm you start cleaning after 5:30 pm. read more

The staff is great the food is allways fresh and top knotch.what a butcher shop experience should be

I ordered Essem hot dogs to be shipped to California. I was quoted a price of almost $ 200.00 for 10lbs which I thought to be outrageous but I agreed to. I received some cheap immatation hot dogs and when the invoice arrived I found I was charged $272.00. Which I did not agree to. Total rip off. Buyer beware. read more

I arrived just before closing and a man arrived right after and he was treated rudely. He was told next time come earlier as we close at 4. We were both rushed out of there. For a family business who wants a good reputation and can make some $ on a holiday weekend, they should rethink how they speak to their customers who did arrive before closing. The frozen angus burgers were horrible. It certainly wasnt worth the last minute trip. read more

i luv b&b. their chubby steaktips are to die for. great meats and good prices. in my opinion best in area. 2 thumbs up.
