a piece of meat on a piece of paper
Daniel M.

Awesome butcher shop! I ordered ten pounds of beef short ribs a few days ahead of time and they were all cut and waiting for me when I arrived on December 24. The meat was beautifully marbled, succulent, fresh and lots of flavor with not even a hint of metallic taste that you would get in a supermarket. I cooked them in a crock pot overnight and the food was amazing! Highly recommend this old-fashioned shop.

*Note - review is not based on purchase. Three stars for now but subject to chance once we are able to buy something and try them out. See the picture attached to this review - In person orders no longer allowed, so you will need to call in your order. Recommend checking the website for specials and call for what's in stock. I plan on placing an order in the coming weeks and will update then!

We love Hind & Fore. Our family has been shopping here for at least 3 decades. Great Customer Service, great product. Knowledgeable & helpful.

Fresh burger
Kristyna O.

Was referred by my husband's orthopedic, who is nearby, to come and try their homemade burger meat. Finally got there and I have to stay it's one of the best burgers I've ever had. Taste like I got it from a high-end restaurant. I will definitely come back to try some other meats! I only gave it four stars because I haven't gotten anything else there but once I do, I'll update my review.

Baked Bacon...Oh My !!!
Chris W.

Just stopped in to order our Thanksgiving turkey, gravy and homemade sausage to include in the stuffing, as they have the freshest birds in town...And there it was, "baked bacon" being sliced and I hadn't had lunch yet. Waiting to finish this review then heading down to kitchen to devour the remaining lbs I have wrapped up. I knew 2lbs was just the right amount :)

Great butcher shop + so much more

I am the type to update reviews by taking what I had previously and adding my edits. You'll notice…read morethis has gone from 4 stars to 5 stars. What changed? * As noted last time, this is definitely Northern style barbecue here. I had said before it's not very BBQ inside, but I'll reframe that. You still absolutely get friendly service and not a very long wait. * I said before the meats are clearly prepared previously and just warmed to the order. I don't think I'll say that again. The meats were perfectly done, moist throughout, perfectly seasoned and smoky on the outside. * When I had gotten the two-meat plate, the brisket fell apart on my fork. The pulled pork was the opposite of what I expected - in fact, I'm wondering if they gave me pork or chicken now that I think about it... but it was good. Didn't occur to me at the time, but that might explain some of the taste and appearance. * This time, I got the ribs. A half rack of ribs filled me up, and YUM. Some ribs fell off the bone a little more than others, but oh boy was that perfectly good. My parents loved their chicken and brisket. * I think they read my review about how much meat you get for what you pay. It's not cheap here, but we all felt that we got a good amount of meat, mac 'n' cheese, or whatever else we ordered. It's great when a place listens! * Last time they upcharged me a dollar to swap cole slaw for cornbread. This time they gave me chipotle BBQ instead of regular BBQ without any charge at all. So again, maybe they read and responded! Still loving the flavors, textures, sauces, cornbread, and mac. This is a winner and earned the fifth star - we're all coming back!

We were excited to try this spot, as we had heard good things from a friend, but ultimately left…read morepretty disappointed. The food itself was slightly above average barbecue. With the food standing on its own, maybe between 3 and 4 stars. From what we tried, would rank the pulled pork first, then the burnt ends, and then the brisket. The pulled pork was smoky and had great flavor and not many fatty pieces. The burnt ends had a lot of flavor (maybe a little too slathered in sauce), but too much fat in the pieces we were given. The brisket too dried out for my taste - have had much better and would definitely not order it again. The restaurant looks great inside - great paintings on the walls, signage, etc. Puts you in a BBQ mindset! My biggest issue was that the staff made us feel a bit uncomfortable there. It's weird, because they were SO friendly to their regulars. But so friendly to the point that when they were so emotionless and dismissive to us, that we felt like we did something wrong and weren't welcome there. Unfortunately with the first experience we had, hard to become a regular to get the better treatment!

You know how there are certain foods and smells that just make you start salivating immediately?…read more Well, the thought of the sandwiches at Meat House do that to me. The first time I went, I had their Supreme BLT. The name sounds a bit lofty and is perhaps a bit pedestrian to some, but I have to say, it's far and above the best version I've ever had. Thick warm bacon, cool lettuce and tomatoes, avocado, and a delicious garlicky aioli. I ate it in my car and must have been a real sight to see, because I practically made love to that thing. It was that good. The second time I went, I opted for their Cuban. Again, the best version of that sandwich I've ever had. This thing was like an orgasm on bread. I don't even know where to start, but suffice it to say that all the ingredients were exploding like a symphony of savory wonder. Thank goodness no one filmed me eating it, that would definitely have been embarrassing. On top of the incredible sandwich menu at Meat House, they also offer a pretty impressive assortment of groceries, a custom salad bar, fantastic butcher counter with steaks and chops galore, beer and wine, etc. Sort of feels like a specialty market on steroids. I highly recommend a visit, particularly for one of their epic sandwiches!

Stop me if you've heard this, a vegetarian walks into a meat shop-- My SO and I decided to pop into…read moreThe Meat House so he could check out some specific items he likes to shop for at the butcher's. This is a nice one-stop shop filled with a huge variety of items. We were able to score alcoholic ciders, seasonings for unreasonably cheap prices, and more. There's everything from pasta and sauce to countless snacks. We left with armfuls of items because we couldn't resist. At incredible prices, this shop is certainly one to visit for pantry staples alone.

I LOVE Alpine Deli. This place has the best deli food around, hands down. They roast their own beef…read moreso I always get a roast beef sandwich, and they do not skimp on the meat. Delicious. Trust me, I've been going here for years and it never disappoints. For an excellent lunch, do not go to Dales or the Doghouse - go here and you will not regret it.

For years I have been urged to visit Alipne for their quality meats and fantastic (and gigantic)…read moresandwiches. Due to living in CT, I can only go when timing up with work in the area. Yesterday was the first time the stars aligned. Walking in was a terrific feeling. Being brought back to a very happy place in my mind - where every town had a butcher, a baker, and you know the rest... Everyone working was fantastic. Welcoming, accommodating. The vibe of regulars in there jiving with the staff made me feel like I was home even though it was my maiden voyage. The meat and salad cases were two of the most impressive I have ever seen. I ordered a pastrami and Swiss on a roll with 1,000 Island, mustard and onion. I was drooling imaging the mountain I was promised by those in the know. The sandwich was delicious. But as you'll see in the photo it was actually kind-of-small. Maybe I didn't order correctly. The coleslaw and deli pickle were perhaps the best example of each I have ever had. I'm already planning my return with a cooler so I can fill it with steaks and sausages. This place is the real deal. Take away - worth the drive for the experience and meat case. And I need to lean what/how to order to get one or the giant sandwiches ppl talk about.
