Does this read LUMP CRABMEAT? I think it does. Was there a Lump to be found? NOPE!!!
Jerry H.

I've been a customer at Treuth's for many years, and over those years the products have been trending down in quality. I was there a couple of days ago and in my order, I requested a pound of the MARYLAND LUMP CRAB MEAT. What a rip-off at 65 dollars a pound! The container's contents could not be inspected because of the secure top. Fair enough if you trust the vendor. My order exceeded over $200 that day, as it usually does when I shop there. But when my wife opened the container - - - not a da*n lump of crab meat could be found... NOT ONE !!! And as for MARYLAND CRAB MEAT, the container shows: DISTRIBUTED BY BOATS AND HOSE SEAFOOD FISHING CREEK, MD. 21634. The operative word is "DISTRIBUTED". Now, this operation (Boats & Hose) is in Maryland, but the container does not state: MARYLAND CRAB. Hell, this crab-crap we had in the container was more like Yangtze River, China SPECIAL ---- for American suckers. Now, did I call Treuth's to complain? No. I don't want the hassle. Treuth's, however, has lost a long time customer (me) whos order normally exceeds $200 every time I walk in to that store.

***UPDATE*** Still a 5-star place; in fact if I could give 10 stars, I would! So, I've been a regular customer since my first review a year ago. I'm going to try to explain what is so special about the JW Treuth Experience, so bear with me. It's not just great products and service - it's a community feel. Example: I went on my usual every other week trip on Tuesday before Thanksgiving. Whoopsie!! When I arrived, there was a line outside ... it's a tiny shop inside, so I wasn't unduly alarmed. I went in, grabbed a number, and went back outside. Only to find that I was # 46 and they were only on #32. It was a cold, windy day and those of us huddled outside were - CHEERFUL! FRIENDLY! LAUGHING TOGETHER! And that's the magic of this family-owned business. There are many good reasons for such a place to stay in business for over 100 years. But IMHO, it's the shared experience of customers interacting with staff that really make it great. Second example: Today I went to buy our bi-monthly 5 lbs of bacon, but also tri-tip for my SIL's upcoming birthday weekend. Sadly, I was told they didn't have any. So I bought the bacon and walked out. Just getting buckled in to drive away, when I saw my butcher walk out the door, scoping out the cars, then walk towards me. I put the window down and he said, "I found some!" THAT, my friends, is beyond customer service. THAT is truly caring that your customers are not just satisfied, but happy. I drive a little distance, every two weeks, for ... all the above. :D

Box that the meat came in

I bought a meat sampler box and 2 pounds of extra ground chuck, it wasn't cheap like the grocery store or the big box stores. The meat is all USA procured, the beef is from local producers, this is supporting local farmers and businesses. I have lived in the area for over 20 some years, never heard of them until a few weeks ago. So I made an order and wish I had done sooner, wow.. The quality is so much better that even the high end grocery stores. I don't mind paying more for superior quality and this place has it. I will not be buying anymore meats in the grocery store or the membership clubs. This place has my business.

It does not get any fresher than this in this area. How can I say that. Because there is a slaughterhouse on the premise of this place. The freshness of the food reminds me of some places overseas or here in the U.S. where they actually prepare their meat fully. The prices are not bad at all. You can get various fresh ground chuck, steaks, pork, and chicken that is readily available but the butchers are more than willing to cut it to your liking. And yes these guys are real butchers. The place is a bit small so prepare yourself to have your personal space invaded. I have only been here a few times but every time I have gone this place constantly has customers but the wait has never been more than 15 minutes. This all depends on those in front of you. Hopefully those in front of you know what they are ordering. You know how it is in the self checkout but the person in front of you has no idea of how it works. I can't blame anyone for taking their time as it is easy to have sensory overload with all the meaty menagerie. I would highly suggest the chicken wings as they are huge or the ribeye.

JW treaty has been my butcher for about 20 years now, my grandma started me coming here and I never left. This shop does their own slaughter, and the slaughter comes from the tristate region and the only deal with select Amish and Mennonite farms that raise the cattle, pigs etc . There meat is so fresh and so Good for a good price it's not overpriced ! I only get my beef and pork products from them and during the holidays the fresh kill turkeys .. the staff know their customers as well! Even though it's crazy busy at time the atmosphere is very light and friendly. They are never hasty or short . Heck they even know you order before you do most times! They do have a no cell phone policy so that the customers can be alert , I do not find that to problematic.. it's actually a plus . Over the years the quality has been consistent and again prices are fair in comparison to supermarkets in the neighborhood prices. Oh before I forget on Saturdays locals have a farmers market outside the store and on Tuesday is senior discounts.... and for thanksgiving they do fresh kill turkeys but you have to preorder. Free calendars, and stress cows lol they will give you freezer bags .. the meat is wrapped in butchers paper do no freezer burn. They make a brisket that is to die for , doggie treats .. Special order cuts ... they also vendor to a ton of businesses so your favorite steaks and burger just may come from them !

The names are unique, and don't be afraid to ask what things are. The portions are not huge, so you can try different things. This is an owner operated business, so you're likely meet the owner and there and they have been doing this for quite a while. Seating inside is limited, but the outside seating nis now covered.

Their menu is focused and concise, which I always appreciate - it suggests they do a few things really well. There's counter seating inside if you want to watch the action, and some high-top tables out front for enjoying the neighborhood buzz. I took a chance on the pork sausage with sauerkraut, and it was spot on. The portion size was definitely satisfying. Pro-tip: Definitely add jalapeños and spicy brown mustard for a fantastic kick! I'll definitely be back to try some of their other offerings and would absolutely recommend this place if you're in the area. Just a heads up that their hours are a bit limited, but its location right next to a bar makes it a perfect stop for a tasty bite before heading in for happy hour.
