If you're gonna drive an hour and a half away from your home to go to a butcher in rural Strasburg…read moreVirginia, you're gonna buy a lot of meat. And if you're gonna buy that much meat I suggest to you two things. 1. Bring a cooler 2. Control yourself When we got into that butcher room, I felt like I was a kid in a candy shop. I think I might have just given a vegetarian a heart attack, but honestly.... The prices, the selection, the freshness. If your gonna want to indulge in some meaty goodness (which I have been trying to limit more and more), might as well do it with gusto. Jason, our butcher that day was a meat magician! Perhaps, one might say... a meatgician. Yes, there was no way to get through a review of a butcher without making one or a dozen different things sound dirty; but bear with me. He gave us the run down of the briskets. He trimmed A LOT of fat off this one brisket so that we could purchase a lighter piece of meat. He told us all about the aged meats, their sausages, their scrapple, and how they make their hamburgers and how it was different then a regular supermarket. I BELIEVE it was their hamburgers that were leaner (90 - 10). In any event, Jason was kind, informative, and just a general pleasure to be served by. So far we've eaten a few pieces of meat from crabills. The ribeye was spectacular, the NY Strip was enjoyed by a coworker of mine, and the brisket in T's words was "Fresh AF." The only thing that really wasn't to my taste was the scrapple. For me it lacked seasoning and punch, as compared to the scrapples I've had before. Overall, if you're looking to stock up on meats, and want to take a short/long journey out 66 to Strasburg; I'd DEFINITELY suggest stopping by crabills. Just remember my two suggestions: 1. Bring a cooler 2. Control yourself Oh, and they have other local products too ( jams/jellies etc.) AND They have 2 birch beers! Obviously they took my extra credit assignment seriously. I'd much suggest the one in the bottle (Kutz-something) vs the canned one (Unless you're a diehard anise fan). Don't know many of those, but I'm sure they exist.

We recently relocated to the area and were looking for a specialty meat shop. This one fits the…read morebill very well, based on our first visit. We made a small purchase, two delmonico steaks and some country sausage. Pricing is totally in line with the major regional supermarket chains, but our impression is that quality is much better here at D&D, We grilled the steaks tonight and they were SOOOOOO good. They were actually better than the same cut and size we recently received at a chain steak house in the area just last week. Even though the cuts and amounts were essentially the same, the restaurant sliced it thin (1/4") so it covered more real estate on the dinner plate. Our "rare" steaks actually came out well done (brown through and through and warm in the middle--they were tender and OK so we didn't fuss and "send them back"). The D&D steaks were cut thicker, ~1/2", so we actually were able to burn just the outside and the middle was truly "rare," as in red, cool center. Thus, much better outcome for what supposedly was intended to be the same. We can't wait to try the country sausage we got at D&D. Most definitely, we will be back for more, and will try the baby back ribs and other offerings.

When I disputed the processing fees she screamed at me continuously. She excused her price change stating she has signs posted everywhere that says pricing is subject to change. Use that line in court Lois. See how that works out. Total overcharge was nearly 800 dollars more than the agreed upon price. She won't post pricing because she says every animal is different. When I asked her why she is the only butcher who changes the price for every animal, she hung up on me.
