No, it's not. The business owner has the option to set their credit card machine that way. Their prices are already very high for a small place with not much selection, and now they're nickel and diming their customers? You can get better food at Wegman's.

It has not even been one year since my last review of Wagner's Meat in Mt. Airy. But Greek Easter…read morecomes when it comes so I made the trek out there to get my Easter lamb! I would never think of getting lamb anywhere else. I called up over a week ago, spoke with Roland, and ordered a nice young lamb's leg for my Easter feast. Roland made it happen! And Josh confirmed that Roland had made it happen when I called before I drove the hour and a half up there to pick up that leg of lamb! Truly, everyone I have ever talked to at Wagner's is so down to earth and friendly. When I walked in yesterday, the cashier engaged me in a polite and friendly conversation about the weather and how lucky I was that the store was not too crowded right then. That never happens in any food store in Washington DC! In an age where simply finding a butcher is difficult, it is a true joy to have Wagner's in my life. In addition to a beautiful leg of lamb, I got 2 pounds of deep red ground beef, some killer looking short ribs, a healthy order of center cut pork chops and some of the best frozen veggies I could ever hope for. How do I know those frozen veggies are great? Because I have gotten them before and the flavor is like sunshine on my tongue!!! Just like fresh picked with no additives or preservatives! Wagner's is the real deal. I wish I lived closer to this store but my doctor who watches my cholesterol like a hawk is probably glad I don't. Could I find meat as high quality and fresh as I get at Wagner's? I seriously doubt it. But the selection, pricing, ability to special order and shopping experience cannot be found for love or money in and around the DC area. I highly recommend Wagner's Meats!!!

They didn't blink an eye when I asked for something unique, they happily cut two Thor's Hammer beef shanks for me on the spot. The shop itself was charmingly decorated with local Americana for the 4th, and the lady at the register was so fun to talk to! The quality of their fresh, local meat is outstanding and the team really knows their stuff. Highly recommend supporting this gem!

This is a local butcher shop that should be supported. I had a great experience and will be back.

They had some really good looking Mahi Mahi filets that I am kicking myself for not getting, but in talking with the two guys behind the counter, it was just brought in that morning. Instead we got local chicken breast, which at about $7 per lb. Is pretty good for local chicken. Our CSA previously charged $10.99 a lb. And some pork chops to throw on the grill - they were nice thick cuts too! Their different beef cuts looked good and the one guy was talking about bringing in some A5 in the future (admittedly this was a conversation I was eaves dropping on so I don't have details -- but... something to look forward to???) They also have different prepared foods - apparently their shepherd pies were very popular this past week and sold out and they have shaved ribeye that we would have liked for cheesesteaks (alas! Also sold out) It was a Sunday so I am sure they were winding down inventory for the week, but if they are selling out - it must be good, right!?! Bottom line: knowledgeable and helpful staff & good, quality selection - wish they were closer to us, but we will be back anyway!

I got a subpar chuck roast that they charged me $22/lb for. Insane amounts of fat (ratio was way…read moreoff, to the point I probably paid for a lb of fat), and the meat itself was meh. Whole Foods charged $12/lb and it was noticeably better. Same story with the short rib I got last month...almost half the price at Whole Foods and experienced better or the same quality. The funniest is the stock bones...$15 for a small pack. You'd need two to make any volume of stock, (so $30), and the same amount of bones would be $10 at the farmers market. I love supporting local places, especially high-quality butchers/groceries. I really do. But there comes a point when you have to ask if you're getting ripped off. With meats DOUBLE the price of another grocer that itself has a reputation for being expensive, it starts feeling like you're being taken advantage of. For what it's worth, the little old lady in front of me almost had a panic attack when they rang her up. I would've bought her groceries for her, but I suddenly realized that me buying a couple pounds of chuck roast and 10 marrow BONES to make stock with would already have me above $100. I saw another person put back cookies because after tax they were $7 each. Sorry, guys, but I'm out.

Then when you complain, they say the animal was "small." Straight-up thieves. I've been around numerous farms and dealt with livestock for years, and I've never seen anything like this before. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only person experiencing this. It's insane how half of the meats are gone. Straight up Thieves. Avoid this place!
