    This place is dynamite! It's so tucked and hidden, I feel like you have to be a nearby North County resident to know it even exists! But alas, there's always Yelp to help. Most notably, the cow on top of the building with the old fashioned sign reading, "John's Butcher Shoppe." It was a beautiful day and the building is just very fitting and picturesque. Maybe it's COVID, but it's the little things, y'all. It was busy on a Tuesday evening, around 5pm. I say busy, but don't think long wait times, these people are as efficient as they are friendly. That day we were there, just to buy a couple pounds of chicken wings, but having never patronized this establishment, I felt like I was spinning as I looked around at their offerings. Just to name a few convenience items in their grocery corner: candy, chips, soda, hot sauce, wing sauce, pasta sauce, their wall of homemade spices and seasonings. They also have a mini deli, with cold cuts and cheese. And it's a butcher shop so of course they have all kinds of meats and a variety of cuts. There's a counter with plenty of staff and you just kind of call out to them when you're ready, you can keep shopping or go straight to the counter to purchase. Alligator, huge ribeye, corn, salmon, shrimp... you name it! If you love it as much as I did, you may be motivated to buy a T-shirt! TLDR: Very clean. Very organized. Very friendly folks. Tons of options.

    Outstanding fresh cut porterhouse

    I'm so glad I found this place when I did. John's somehow makes their prices lower and their quality higher, there's really no reason for me to shop anywhere else. So far I've only bought a few cuts of steak and some bacon, but their selection is impressive and it's nice to have it as an option to experiment with various dishes. Also their weekly raffle is a great idea for repeat customers.

    Duck came deboned for a fee - they did a decent job.

    To be honest I don't really care where I get my meat from. The industry seems so homogeneous to me that I can't say whether the same grade of beef is better at one place or another. But what IS awesome about small butcher shops is that they do tend to be more willing to cut the meat to your liking. I've only had such luck at the Schnucks over at Mason and Olive in a big grocery store. One huge service they offered was to debone a duck for me for a fee. That, on top of defrosting the thing is already a huge service in my mind. On top of that, this place has a weekly ad that's updated on their website to see what's on sale. This is a big plus because it adds yet another place for the chance that ribeye's on sale. I'm not quite enamored with the place, as I don't think they serve anything out of the ordinary that I'm looking for. However, the extremely courteous staff, the fact that they have an online ad of what they have available (TAKE NOTE, BOB'S SEAFOOD), and their solid prices (sometimes cheaper than sales prices elsewhere) makes me come back again and again.

    Their rib eyes ready to cook

    I found this hidden gem back in 2016 when I was going to another business near them in Overland. They have a great staff. Friendly, helpful, and considerate. It's always a pleasure to stop here and pick up fresh meats when I'm in the area. I purchased two rib eyes a couple of days ago and prepared​ them tonight. Wonderful​! I like their take on the meat snack sticks. Very tasty and not greasy or over spiced. My dogs love the beef heart and ground beef mix for a fresh raw meal. The shop is neat, clean, and parking is plentiful.

    John's butcher shoppe!

    Always great customer service when I come here! Everyone is always friendly and they will do whatever you need and if you don't see what you are looking for, just ask because I guarantee you they have it!! This is one of my favorite butcher shops!!

From the moment you walk in, the warm, welcoming vibe makes you feel right at home. Every bite showcases incredible attention to quality--whether it's their perfectly smoked meats, juicy burgers, or decadent sides. Service was friendly and attentive, making the experience feel personal and unhurried. Portions are generous, so you leave completely satisfied but still dreaming about your next visit. Pair your meal with a cider or one of their fountain drinks, and it becomes an event rather than just dinner. Honestly, Bolyards balances casual comfort with chef-level execution--10/10 would recommend to anyone who loves bold, hearty flavors.

    Just go by direct from the farmers, the markup isn't worth it here anymore. As others have…read morementioned, they do over salt their prepared food fairly often but that's just the chef's palate. Everything's high-quality and poor value after accounting for the price. I stopped in to pick up a pork loin because I was around the corner, looking for ~3-4lbs of meat. They only had a 1 1/2 pound in the case (order taker weighed it to confirm before going to the back, which should've been my first warning) so I asked if they had any larger ones. They were nice enough to check and offer to cut one. That's where things went downhill. After waiting 5 or 10 minutes, my order taker came back out to ask how I wanted it prepped (bone or boneless, skin on or off). I said skin off and ambivalent on the bones. This was my mistake, leaving my fate to the hands of someone profit motivated. I walked out with just about a 3 pound bone in roast, which is maybe half a pound more meat than the one and a half pound I turned down - not enough for my guests and I. Had I gotten a roast closer to 4lbs, I would've been unhappy with the price but not enough to write a review. Additionally, they only charged a dollar less for bone in. At $15/lb, I effectively paid the price of their beef for the meat after accounting for the bone. I felt tricked. In hindsight, I should've just turned it down when I saw the price, but I was a bit too shocked to say anything. So I paid my bill and swore that I wouldn't be coming back for anything but (maybe) sausage again.
