I called the phone number hoping they would be a message regarding if they are temporary closed or have moved to a new location but it just rang out. I wish businesses would leave messages on their phones to let their customers know they aren't open. Some people drive long distances to buy good quality Irish sausages etc.

I got a delicious traditional Irish breakfast recently, to go.

I could've eaten it with a straw I ate it so quick! I had gone to the bakery next door first(also a great place) but the line was too long. So i tried this place. I'll be coming back again, that's for sure! Not only do they sell meats, & breakfast but also all kinds of Imported Irish groceries. Everything from milk & butter to tea & candy. The very friendly staff kept asking if I needed help, because I was waiting for take out-I probably appeared lost as my dog was outside & I kept going in & out checking on him.

I parked in a number spot and didn't have an issue as I was in and out, but the non numbered spots were full. When I walked in there was a couple freezers on the left and some fridges at the end and then a big old case of marinated meats. I was just going to get some frozen baguette breads for $7 but the meats looked too good to give up so I got some garlic & herb chicken thighs and mediterranean chicken breast ($8 each) Was checked out by wonderful ladies and can tell it's family oriented and cares about helping people out. Though they are selling at stop and shop I would prefer to go into their store front. Even though the hours are a bit early 7-3.

Okay, you first walk in and you see weird stuff like goat and sheep's heads. You smell the meat…read more The atmosphere is a little grimy, since it is parked right next door to Haymarket. The smell of funky cheese from a few doors down does not help. By far, this place does not look like much of anything. But first impressions are deceiving. This place is a hidden gem. The shop is over a hundred years old and it is a true, old school butcher. For the uninitiated, that means you are not going to find ground beef neatly packaged in styrofoam, but rather an "everything but the oink/moo/cluck/gobble/baa" mentality; they even will sell you a whole goat or sheep to roast on a spit. My advice is to stick around. I myself rave about this place because I got the perfect sized turkey for Thanksgiving, fresh kill, freshly butchered. It was succulent and excellent quality! Even if they don't have what you want in stock, they can get it to you within a few days, and again, they butcher EVERY MEAT OR FOWL KNOWN TO MAN. (You do have to verbally ask for some of their items, since the fridge is in the back as is where the butchering is done: they bring it to you.) They cater to both immigrant and local tastes, something Savenor's does not, and it is worth it-the Vietnamese guy gets his tripe to make pho, you get your prized rib roast, and the Puerto Rican walks out happily carrying a whole suckling pig she has carefully wrapped up to take home for Christmas dinner. Go on, give it a chance. Do what I did and go in advance for the holiday meal. Have your turkey or goose safely waiting for you and eat like a king while idiots fight over a frozen Butterball or a crown roast of meh from Shaw's. Poke at the goat meat, and then learn it tastes like lamb and actually would be a treat if used in a stew recipe. Go look up an old recipe of Julia Child's from the 1950's and realize that the foot of a cow was the old way to get gelatin and if all the instant stuff at the supermarket suddenly goes poof, you are going to be fine: the 100+ year old butcher shop that is older than Savenor's still has the foot, weird though that is.

I've been going there occasionally at different times trying to talk to the Manager who apparently is never there. I Left a message for the manager days ago, and today, one of the employees says that she never gave the message to the manager and there is no number or email to reach him besides the store number which they are just as rude when they answer. They claim that they have no clue on how to reach him and do not know when he will come by. When I say rude, I mean no greeting , not welcoming , and little to no respect to the fact that I am making time to come here over and over again. In America, time is money!!! How does a business run with clueless employees and no management? I can take this comment down when the manager "Maitland Forde" reaches out to me. Meanwhile, if you all want to go do business there, go, but do not expect any smiles or welcoming reception.

Ask for the Chairman's reserve it's a very high quality cut of steak and you'll always pay less than the meat they sell at Stop & Shop. You need to have enough freezer space unless you plan on cooking 20lbs of steak in two weeks. My favorite cuts are the Chairman's NY and Tenderloin. Cash only - they aren't set up for retail but will help you out. Talk to the sales guys and get their recommendations - they know a lot about meat and will help you out if you are friendly.

When you walk in the space is all brand spanking new specially built for the new market. I believe I should call this butcher shop that also has some international and American grocery items. The butchery takes up the complete rear part of the store, which is pretty large.. all the chickens, etc. spread out with pricing so you know exactly how much everything costs. They have a great variety foul and meats. Everything at the butchery seems like it's a great bargain the prices of fantastic. The staff seems to be young and attentive. They are all very polite and informative. One thing I do like is they have some cleaning products and pet products hidden way down in the back. It's a very small section and only for emergencies. Everything is priced high. But it's convenient if you're already there and you need something for an emergency. All the grocery items are priced at normal prices for the area. so basically if you want some fresh meats, etc. this is the place to come. The pricing is fabulous. The food is fresh and the help is great. There is plenty of parking lot out front.
