Since everyone is avoiding these places like the plague, service was quick and efficient and I was in and out faster than I hoped as there is so much to see with both the deli side and the butcher side. After reading the reviews I asked for a Montreal Smoked Meat sammie with Swiss and yellow mustard. To go with, I grabbed a peppers, olives and feta salad in a tub, and for dessert, a raisin butter tart. Even though the sammies are not over-priced, if you combine all that, it adds up to a few bucks. The sandwich was excellent! After reading the reviews, I expected a little more of the smoke meat piled high, but instead it had more of a reasonable amount. But omg, the bread stole the show! When I first perused the aisles, I noticed they carry Fred's bread, which I believe Healthy Butcher also sells. If you look at my photo, the bread slices look typical of any brand of mass-produced whole-wheat bread, nothing special. But the taste jumped out at me and over-powered the heavy sweetness of the meat and the tangy sourness of the mustard. Combined together it was heavenly. The salad was ok, can't go wrong with something basic like that and the butter tart was a perfect way to top off my lunch. Actually since I wasn't overly hungry that day I only ate half leaving the other half for later, which made me venture out for a slice, but hey, that's part of living downtown, it's just that convenient to stuff yourself.

I bought a Cowboy steak - yes a cowboy steak - for $88 last night thinking it would be enough for 2 people. For whatever reason (probably poor aging) cooked medium rare it shrank to barely being able to feed us. and if am honest it was flavorless and tough. Very very underwhelming for whiat is meant to be a premium cut. I will never go back. Frankly the premium cuts at any one of the superstores are of higher quality and grade - but if you like saying you got your meat there and impressing the neighbors - this review will mean very little to you.

He had some frozen bacon wrapped steaks all of different thicknesses. The man behind the counter was kind enough to put together three of similar thickness, so I took those.

I've bought everything from meats to prepared pasta meals to lunch from Boffo's, and everything is amazing, everytime. I can't get over how decadent and high-end they feel, but how friendly and down to Earth they really are. If you like to eat, you will love Boffo's. Go today.

Tip: they also have an online store but for the best variety and advice, call ahead. The butchers are more than happy to guide you through what's best for the day/weekend.

You old timers know what I'm talking about, the kind of food that gives you the "itis" (look it up in an urban dictionary) and puts you in a food coma. Well! Butcher's Son knows how to put together a juicy, medium rare burger. Their special today was a brisket burger with double smoked bacon, a fried tomato and BBQ aoili. I loved the patty but what stood out for me was the delicious bacon: thick cut, smoky, crispy but not hard with a perfect fat to meat ratio. I just thought they were only a butcher's shop but they offer so much more. They have home made soups and chilis, single serve pot pies, lasagna, mini pizzas. There are marinated individual chicken breasts and marinated whole chickens, also Salem's Lott Scary Hot Sauces for sale and a small selection of goodies from Leah's bakery. I was eyeing their gorgeously marbled steaks; I can't wait to come back to try it in their sandwiches! Friendly and helpful staff.

What a pleasant surprise... was very impressed with this place! Food (4.75/5) - they have a good mix of sandwiches, meats, jerk chicken and beef patties. - Fully Loaded Peameal On a Bun - what an outstanding breakfast sandwich - probably the best one I have ever had! Hearty portions of: - double peameal bacon patties - fried egg - melted cheddar - maple aioli - kale - tomato (not for me) All on a soft pain-au-lait bun. What a first bite! Juicy peameal, maple aioli flavour, perfectly fried medium soft egg were the highlights. Beef Patty - fresh not frozen and homemade. Had the mild one and probably could have done spicy instead... it is VERY mild. Nice mix of beef, oxtail and other ingredients in a nicely baked outer crust - not too dry or thick. Service (4.75/5) - can tell this is a family/private owned business... take pride in their stuff, friendly and polite. It isn't going to be ready in 5 minutes... building from scratch takes some time but well worth it! Atmosphere (4.25/5) - it's got this retro NYC deli feel to it with the artifacts, signs and hardware. Primarily for take-out so if you want to stay there are 3 bar stools and 2 benches with side tables. Overall (4.75/5) - very impressed and 100% coming back to try out many of the other items on the menu. Someone eating beside me had the Reuben and it looked great too. Only issue is they are only open for short stints during the day and weekends is only time i can get there... breakfast opening is 1030am and stops at 12pm, so get there early to grab those breakfast sandwiches if that's your goal!
