But I decided that I can give my opinion of the management of Mr. Steer. They are the rudest, most unhelpul people that you can imagine. Not every employee but I am specifically talking about the owner/manager, his son behind the meat counter, occasionally the check-out clerk and even sometimes the deli counter person. I live within a mile of the store and have been here many times. I'll admit that they do have great meat and prepared foods. But it's not worth the abuse that you get from the above named employees, I went there a couple of Sundays ago and went into the store at 3:50, ten minutes before closing, to just pick up some steak tips for grilling. I immediately got some hated looks. They had already taken all of the meat out of the meat cases and the manager was replacing the butcher paper that lines the bottom of the case. I wanted to see what they had but all they could say was "What do you want?" I said that I wanted to see the tips they had, and all he said was "Well, what do you want"? I walked out never to return. I don't know how they stay in business when they treat their customers like that!

For context, this review is being written after trying only one of BB's products. That having been…read moresaid, they have made a most prodigious first impression on yours truly. As some may recall, I love me some rib eye. As such, I happen to spot a butcher shop near the same place wifey and I get our pedis. That's how I found this place. Usually I head to Wicked Good Butcha up in Bedford. But I figured since this place is way closer, I'd give them a try. Anyways, we try a little under 2 pounds of rib eye that day. Only...it seemed like a bit less than that. Lemme explain.. These particular cuts of meat could have been distant cousins. Because whilst one was pretty lean with still plenty of marbling, the other piece was something like...30% fat. So, that meant that sometime after grilling was done and carnivorous consumption commenced, I had to essentially leave behind the less than edible chewy, fatty pieces. Nevertheless, you can see from the pics I took how delicious these cuts of beef look. The meaty parts I could manage to extract melted in my mouth like butter (which meant I nailed the mid-rare temp I was going for). Point is though...I couldn't have made a better steak if I just went to the grocery store. The store itself is pretty small and quaint. Everything about their display screams "fresh". Thing is....I've yet to try more things from here. Hence, my lack of fifth star. I figure, it's too soon to tell. But perhaps after I obtain some baby back ribs from them, maybe....we'll see. For now though...I'm giving Brother's Butcher 4 savory rib eye steaks on the grill that melt in your mouth out of 5.
