One of the packages had torn exposing the meat inside. Disappointing but figured it was a one off. Second package arrived in February. Again ripped packaging. This time it was two packages of meat that had to be thrown out. This time I reached out and they offered a small credit or a replacement of the meat. I took the replacement. Third package arrived in March. AGAIN torn packaging. This time it was sliced open. Obviously they have a distribution problem. It seems like this is a common issue. At this point I don't trust the meat. It's a health hazard and I'm done. Canceling my subscription. I definitely would not recommend them.

*I'm a Pro Butcher Boxer*…read more This review is over 5 years in the makings... When the pandemic started in March 2020, my Mom was a customer and told me about ButcherBox...and I've never looked back. I've been a Subscription Service Member ever since and order a "hand-picked customized box" with 6-selections, every 2 to 4 months, for $169. Through the years it's been $149 and $159 until last year. But $169 for a 6-selection box is still a great value. Just make sure you have enough freezer space to store the items. ButcherBox only deals with farms and vendors who are humanely raised & environmentally safe, and never uses any hormones or chemicals in any of their products. ButcherBox is the largest meat and fish brand to be named a Certified B Corporation, As a healthy eater and ex-vegan & pescatarian, all this is very important to me because I care about what I put into my body, where it comes from, and how & where it's sourced. Their prices are extremely reasonable for the quality of products they provide. Delivery is always free and delivered within an estimated time-frame, from GLS in secure boxes packed with dry-ice. As much as I enjoy & embrace the chores of grocery shopping, having a subscription to ButcherBox saves me time and money. And I find most of their products are far superior than what's available in most stores. If I had to pick some things I cannot live without for the past 5 years, ButcherBox is definitely in my Top 10. I cook and eat most meals at home and rely mostly on their fish (you read that right) Tho their various types of pasture-raised organic chicken and grass-fed beef or burgers, lamb, and pork selections are all great and available too, I gear mostly towards their fish because I don't eat a lot of meat. I love their premium quality fish: Flash-freeze Wild-Caught Sockeye Salmon comes from Bristol Bay, Alaska. Flash-freeze Sustainable Atlantic Salmon is a product of Norway. Wild-Caught Sablefish (a fancier name for black cod) comes from the Bearing Sea and Gulf of Alaska. Wild-Caught Scallops harvested in Georges Bank (off the coast of New England) are all staples in my weekly & monthly dinner rotation. I even got my wife hooked on some of these items. They also have amazing wild-caught sliced smoked salmon...and delicious gluten-free chicken nuggets too (not eaten together of course) which are 2 of my favorite reoccurring "add-ons." And I enjoy their dairy-free black bean burgers and brisket blend smashburgers too. As a member & subscriber of ButcherBox, you have options of dozens of add-ons and discounts (and flash sales too) that are not available in the standard subscription boxes. There's no obligation to signing up other than ordering your first box. You chose whatever billing date/delivery date you desire. You can put your next or future box on hold for as long as you want, and can cancel your subscription at anytime. But why would you want to miss out on all of this? It's fun to build your own box, add items on sale in between your next box, and try new things too. In the past 5 years they've introduced dozens of new products. If you don't like or enjoy anything you receive or not satisfied with any of their products? They have THE BEST customer service & team I've encountered in today's world. They actually strive on costumer service as much as they do their products. Their Founder/CEO, Mike Salguero, is hands-on with everything pertaining to the company and its customers. They actually treat you like family & friends. I've encountered some quality issues and mistakes with some orders through the years, but ButcherBox always offers solutions to remedy the problem. I've experienced some positive changes they've made during the past 5 years, which proves to me they truly care about quality control. They also recently started a rewards program that allows you to earn points that's converted into credits for future orders. I've referred 3 friends and family member to ButcherBox and they all have become subscribers after their initial boxes. I have no skin in the game here and getting nothing out of boasting about ButcherBox and sharing my experiences, other than expressing my thoughts into the Yelpshere...and how it can potentially benefit your life and healthy lifestyle too. Deciding and figuring out what to cook and eat for dinner & lunch, nearly everyday, has never been easier. If you're still here, reading and interested, check out their website and give them a call to ask all the questions you desire...determine for yourself...and then make the conscience decision to incorporate ButcherBox into your tummy, heart and life. {{{Big-High-Five}}} Grandslam 1/2 a Decade Fan

The bread was soft and a good texture. The sandwich had prosciutto, fresh mozz, basil leaves, tomatoes, and was seasoned with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil. Was it the most amazing sandwich I'd ever tasted? Nah, it was standard, but for less than $13 for a sandwich that was longer than my forearm, it was a fantastic deal. Service was speedy and the two folks who helped me out were friendly. There were two people in front of me, but I was in and out in about 5 minutes. Looking forward to trying their other sandwiches!

My relationship with Idris at the Meat Spot was born out of friendly banter about food and a need…read moreto become friends with a reputable butcher. It is not the lack of familiarity with butchery (which I have a lot of experience with) but the better access to higher quality meats and very specific cuts. This we spoke of, this we laughed about, and a simple friendship started. He is a *very* nice individual and truly genuine to all his customers as far as I've observed each time I visit. He learns each one and responds in a unique way to them. With me, it came down to the meats. First time, I simply told him that I wanted to grill chicken and wanted to taste his take on it. He grabbed a pack of chicken leg quarters from the display case and said he'd be right back. About 5 minutes later, I received 6 massive butterflied legs exposing bone and seasoned heavily to be ready for the grill in an hour. He pulled up one of his house cured sausages to go together with the chicken. His smile in the moment sold it. Hours later, I'll just say that his take on it all was worth the visit and more after. I'm a fan and I really like the ability to order specialty cuts if I called first. I like that I can walk in and ask for something not in the display box that if he has the ingredient, would churn out in an instant (ask for really lean ground lamb and he did that on the spot). I like that he remembers people and treats them in a genuine manner every time. I love that everything is fresh and that the prices are really reasonable. And I like more than anything else the words, "my friend, where have you been? I was worried." Idris, thank you for being that butcher I needed in my life. Cheers!
