The owner was very friendly and comically had a sniff of the meat. He gave me with very specific instructions as to how to cook it. I say the best possible way to see a butcher who is passionate about the product he is putting out. Perfectly prepared and will look forward to coming back if I am in the area again. Lots of excellent other tasties here besides their steaks.

This used to be my go-to place in the Catskills for German sausages, deli and grilling meats…read more(steaks, rack of lamb etc). Unfortunately, since the business got sold and had a change in owners, things have gone downhill big time. The sausages are far from what they used to be. Casings are not properly closed, they don't taste the same and their Wienerle look wrinkly and outright unappetizing + they are oversmoked. Very sad to see an institution go downhill and change that quickly from being an authentic German butcher to being a subpar spot that has none of the craftsmanship and quality that they used to have. Won't be back!!

Ask, ask, ask! The…read moredisplay of fresh meats at this place is dismal at best BUT it's not because they don't have anything, rather it's because they want to sell it to you absolutely FRESH! So while I was looking wondering, "This is it!?!" the lady at the counter may have saw the confusion on my face and said that if there is something I'd like that I didn't see they could cut it fresh in the back out the freezer. I asked for a cut of ribeye and sure enough they came out with a cut to the thickness I requested. I'm glad she told me to ask for something. During my purchased I inquired about other cuts I'd be interested in as the holidays approach and sure enough they have it all in the freezer 100% fresh to be cut. This makes complete sense to not have too much out because we all want the cuts as fresh as possible so if I have to ask for a certain cut every time I visit I think that's perfect because then I'll know it just came out the freezer as fresh as can be.

Every Christmas roast and Thanksgiving turkey has come from them. Their chicken ( white meat) is unbelievably tender.

First time here, started down the street at the brewery, decided to give this a try for bar food,…read moreand it didn't disappoint. We were a table of 4, beer(lots of local ones) and wings with different counts of heat, labeled clearly on the menu. I also had a taco that was just ok, clearly the wings,which are on the smaller side, are the stars here. The woman tending bar was also really cool, even after my friend spilled a whole beer half on the floor & the other half on her husband! But all in all, we sat, talked laughed, ate another round of wings, and enjoyed. The music was pretty good too, AND it's a meat store on the other end. You can get some of your favs to bring home

The staff and the customers are old friends. Everyone seems to know each other. Even though they are based on tradition, they are making new creations all of the time.
