This review is based off the pre-prepared/grocery side of the store (although we will CERTAINLY be…read moreback for the restaurant side.) While in town, we wandered in wishing we had already grabbed some baked goods earlier in the day. And with a mission to acquire some meat for the grill later in the day. Immediately we were met with a variety of whoopie pies (we got a traditional one and cookie one, both delicious), and most of all the BEST cinnamon roll we have ever feasted on. Not only was it tremendous but it was perfectly gooey, and the buttercream (or at least that's how it tasted) frosting in lieu of traditional icing blew it out of the water. We also grabbed some chicken bacon burgers which we grilled up and really enjoyed. Just wished the patties were initially bigger. We ended up putting 2 and 2 (out of the 4) together to make burgers which would actually survive the grill. In general the selection is everything you'd imagine in Amish country combined into one little place. Prices were excellent, quality was great. Definitely stop in!

This was my first trip to Lancaster County, PA. My daughter and I took a buggy ride and wanted to…read morewalk to a spot for lunch. Perusing Yelp, I saw Stoltzfus (a local last name that was mentioned by our buggy guide) and it was a deli/restaurant- you had me at meat! You order at a walk up counter, get a buzzer, wait as they make it fresh, get buzzed, and pick your order up. Plenty of clean seating is available. The Philly cheesesteak was awesome! Lots of meat, tender but substantial roll, and hot! I got it sauced - this was new for me. I was thinking cheese sauce, but it was a red sauce. I loved it regardless ( my daughter wasn't as happy - not because it tasted bad, but she wasn't expecting it). We didn't have to wait to order, but once we were eating-the line was easily 25-30 deep. The eating section is called Amos' Place. The meat section is Stoltzfus Meats. A wonderland of fresh, frozen, and refrigerated meats and all the accompanying side dishes! There is also a very good selection of baked goods, spices, and munchies. Oh, the white root beer was good! I will definitely be back!

Best turkey sub sandwich in the world??? Hear me out (and stop off if you road trip up/down i-95…read morelike I do). We all know the typical deli meat- those round blobs of crap shrink wrapped in plastic sitting under the display case. It's turkey. Right? Is it??? It's smooth and round and textureless... But we buy the stuff anyway. Mostly tastes the part I guess. THIS AINT THAT MY FRIEND! Me and my sister ordered a classic turkey (w everything) and a Bobbie (w cranberry and stuffing) for a little kayak trip out on the Susque. When we unwrapped our subs for lunch... WOAH WTF is in here?? REAL TURKEY MY FRIEND! Chopped and shredded pieces of actual factual turkey meat. Not that squishy bullshxt from the supermarket deli counter. CANNOT BEAT a sandwich like that. Or a hoagie or whatever ya call em up in Havre de Grace. Next time I am bringing home a flank steak too because this is really a butcher shop doing god's work on the hoagie front.

TLDR: Galvinell Meat in Havre de Grace lives up to the hype. Massive, beautifully built hoagies,…read morefriendly staff, and a butcher counter full of unique house made offerings. Easily in the conversation for best hoagies in Maryland. This butcher has been on my short list for a while thanks to its recent fame in the Hoagie Gurus Facebook group, where their Old World Italian has become something of a legend. After finally making the trip, I can confidently say it deserves every bit of that buzz. We stopped in on a Saturday around lunchtime and the place had a steady flow of customers. My wife and I ordered the Old World Italian hoagie along with a hot roast beef and gravy grinder that was running as a special. While we waited, the staff was incredibly nice and helpful, and we took some time to browse their butcher case. Everything looked fantastic, and we ended up leaving with several packs of house made sausages that were too interesting to pass up, including a chicken crab cake sausage and a brisket cheddar. After a short wait, our subs were ready and they were both absolute units. Since they have a few two tops for the lunch crowd, we did not even make it to the car before digging in. The Old World Italian was exactly what I hoped for. Piled high with Italian meats and cheeses, sharp provolone, roasted red peppers, and prosciutto, all served on a sturdy yet soft seeded roll. The meats were perfectly layered so every bite was balanced and flavorful. No dead spots, no overwhelming salt bombs, just a beautifully constructed hoagie. The hot roast beef grinder was equally impressive. Freshly shaved beef, rich gravy, and melted provolone came together in a way that felt indulgent without being heavy. Comfort food done right. Between the quality of the sandwiches, the welcoming staff, and the incredible butcher offerings, Galvinell Meat is a destination. It is absolutely worth the drive and firmly belongs in any serious Maryland hoagie conversation.

My wife got their regular burger and it was cooked to her liking. Eventhough it was not cooked how I prefer, it still tasted good! The fries tasted very very good! I love a shoestring fry! Unfortunately, they charge an extra 6 dollars to upgrade from chips to fries with their burger. The mozzarella sticks were out of this world. This was a very good bang for your buck. Homemade and handbreaded, they were massive. You get two for 8 dollars. The prices here are very high. To put it in perspective, if you go here and get two burgers, upgrade to fries for both burgers, and get two waters, your bill is going to be $48 dollars plus tax.... The decor and scenery in here is incredible! It looks awesome. The seating is very limited. Make sure you get a reservation ahead of time. We went at 430 and about half the tables were blocked off for reservations. Would definitely like to come back here and try different items, every dish that went by looked delicious!

These are by far the best steaks you can purchase within at least 50 miles. Prove me wrong and I'll…read moretry your recommendation. When you go to a "fancy"steakhouse, and drop $100+ on steak, Bowmans is the level of quality they use, so grill it yourself and save $60-70 and buy a nice bottle of bourbon or wine to go with it. The cuts are thicker, 1 1/2 - 2inches so be mindful if you're grilling them for the first time, they may end up being rarer then your usual. Other things to check out: they carry local eggs, exotic meats (alligator, elk, etc), and they have their own beer/venison seasoning thats actually pretty good. Better than Montreal. Other notes: They have amazing service here, they'll let you look at the cuts and bring you other ones from the back room if you don't like what they have on display. Not a fan on their sausages, the texture is good but the taste is a bit bland. I'm open to suggestions on how to improve cooking them. Some people think it smells weird in here.

The processing area is open to the shop, so be prepared for a strong smell when you arrive or go inside.

It can be pricy but I think it's healthier than what is sold in stores. Staff were nice and knowledgeable.

I assumed the best cuts had sold by the time we got there, but there were still some enticing options. The gentleman who assisted chose our cuts for us (we weren't given the option to choose), and didn't ask what size cuts we were looking for (which is why we ended up with 2 filets - both were very small). The ribeye was on the thinner side with very little marbling and was pre-packaged on styrofoam, which was unusual I thought (used to butcher paper, maybe just me - not a huge deal just seemed like something a small grocery store would do). Overall, not the greatest butcher I've been to, but certainly not the worst either. I'll give them another try and update, maybe just an off day.
