We have always loved going to Prime Butcher in Windham -- it's one of our go-to spots, especially…read moresince my husband is a total carnivore and appreciates great quality meat. Last week, for the first time ever, we ended up with a steak that just wasn't up to their usual standard. Honestly, it's so rare for them that we didn't think much of it, but my husband stopped in today and mentioned it. What happened next is exactly why we keep going back. They didn't just acknowledge it -- they went above and beyond. They replaced it with a free NY strip steak, and on top of that gave us Prime Butcher playing cards and a big bottle of their "Everything" seasoning. Completely unexpected and absolutely appreciated. That kind of customer service is hard to find these days. They didn't have to do any of that, but they did -- and it speaks volumes about who they are. The manager and staff are always smiling, cracking jokes, and just genuinely good, down-to-earth people. And the meat? Always beyond delicious -- you won't find better anywhere else. We'll definitely continue to be regulars. If you haven't been yet, you're missing out.

The steak was absolutely gorgeous and truly deserved an award. It had gorgeous marbling throughout and was massive in size. The only downside was it was a bit expensive BUT 1000% worth it.

There are not enough words to describe the deliciousness of that kilbesa except if you enjoy kilbesa go try Maine Meat's!!! Lastly I'd like to add the staff was delightful.

I loved that place. But, I go there for the food and not the location. I personally do not like their salads and have almost all. Way too vinegary for me and I love vinegar. But, to each his own! Yes, the business has gone through some changes... They got rid of a really rude deli chic. They do not have independent vendors for each station. We are in post Covid times. It is possible that they are doing their best to stay open, so cut them some slack! Many are struggling and still many do not want to work! They are doing their best, I'd imagine, to keep open. I do agree with the bell comment however!
