Great food nice people…read more The meat was very good but VERY VERY expensive. Also their sandwiches are very good but very small. $16.95 got me a pulled pork but it was served on a Martin's Potato Roll, which while tasty is tiny. They're not even using the "Martin's BIG Potato Rolls" just the small regular ones. The sandwiches come with chips for free or fries for an upcharge -- But the chips are homemade and frankly way better than the fries! That said again it was good but for the price the sandwiches should be much bigger. They were dog friendly and very nice which we loved. We will be back soon!

Very welcoming service here and patient as well explaining the menu or cuts on display. Always a…read morerare treat to see a stand alone butcher shop, in this day and age. The steak sandwich was yummy, thinly sliced cuts beef, gooey cheese and well seasoned. The sandwich would been better on roll or crusty bread over a hamburger bun though. House-made potato chips were my favorite, well seasoned and cooked just to crispy, other places tend to burn chips but here just right. The filet taco, was very small, mostly a just two bites. It's meat filling was alright, tiny diced but filled the space. The taco sauce though was fire, very savory and well seasoned, almost wish the meat was cooked on the sauce rather than salt and pepper it. Have to come back and buy some of the raw stuff for home, since a very wide selection of cuts is here I can't get at supermarket for sure

The owner was very friendly and comically had a sniff of the meat. He gave me with very specific instructions as to how to cook it. I say the best possible way to see a butcher who is passionate about the product he is putting out. Perfectly prepared and will look forward to coming back if I am in the area again. Lots of excellent other tasties here besides their steaks.

Best burger I've had was here. Meat is so fresh!

THE CLEANEST BUTCHER SHOP IN NYS!!!!!! We stopped in and…read morewere welcomed warmly. They were cutting up a fresh cow they'd just received and got a great ribeye and a few lamb sausages. They also had some nice Italian sodas. We'll definitely be back very soon, on our next trip to Beacon. It's definitely worth a stop off the highway, even if Beacon isn't your destination.

Just go. Now. Do not wait. This is a real butchers shop. Stop buying meat in the supermarket…read more This is the real thing. Eat here too. Do it now!!! I know. I drive almost two hours to buy dreams for my plate.

After seeing good reviews, I came to Bettinger's twice. On my first visit the older lady that works…read morethere was cut and dry. Lets just say she was having a hard day. On my second visit she was rude and obnoxious. I simply asked her what beef she would recommend for grilling? She gave me a strange look and said "all my beef is good for grilling". I purchased $86 worth of beef. She never smiled, and she never said thank you. The beef was awful with a bad taste and hard. I will never recommend this place to anyone. Why would any business put an unpleasant miserable woman in the front to assist clients? Never again !!!

This is really all natural grass fed beef. The meat is sold out of their garage, from a row of…read morefreezers lined up against the wall. I wasn't so sure at first, but the lady was so nice that my husband and I decided to try a porterhouse for dinner that night. Oh my god. It was the best steak I have ever cooked at home. I highly recommend anyone looking for high quality beef to take a trip out to 17K. They also make their own sausage, hot dogs and beef jerky. Fantastic, but not cheap. You will pay a premium price for a premium product.

CORRECTION; HALIBUT ( wild caught) , not haddock. [thanks,…read moreChris] I love this shop with all their curated goodies. It's not big, but it packs a powerful, meaty punch. The butchers will give you ideas on how to prepare meats. For example, the last time I stepped in they had a cut called a cowboy cut. I had never heard of it. At $17 a pound, I wasn't taking any risks so I asked for advice. my daughter and I loved the meaty flavor with a respectable chew. VERY flavorful. Caution: you will not be able to resist all the fresh organic grass fed and finished beef. You will leave much poorer than when you arrived but you will eat really well. surprise of my visit: fresh wild-caught halibut . It was the best HALIBUT I have ever consumed. Absolutely gorgeous to look at and beautiful to prepare. Super expensive so make it a treat for that special night in. Grab a loaf of crusty Signal Fire bread woodfired, sourdough stone, ground local grains from East Mountain Levain. This bread will stand up to the cowboy steak.

Ask, ask, ask! The…read moredisplay of fresh meats at this place is dismal at best BUT it's not because they don't have anything, rather it's because they want to sell it to you absolutely FRESH! So while I was looking wondering, "This is it!?!" the lady at the counter may have saw the confusion on my face and said that if there is something I'd like that I didn't see they could cut it fresh in the back out the freezer. I asked for a cut of ribeye and sure enough they came out with a cut to the thickness I requested. I'm glad she told me to ask for something. During my purchased I inquired about other cuts I'd be interested in as the holidays approach and sure enough they have it all in the freezer 100% fresh to be cut. This makes complete sense to not have too much out because we all want the cuts as fresh as possible so if I have to ask for a certain cut every time I visit I think that's perfect because then I'll know it just came out the freezer as fresh as can be.

Incredible. Could be the best BBQ I've had.

Best deal and meal. Can't wait to come back. 5 stars!!!!

My family came to the U.S. from Germany, and every time we visit this German specialty store and…read morebutcher, it instantly takes us back to holidays spent with family back home. The authenticity here is so comforting and hard to find nowadays. We especially love their liverwurst -- which has become surprisingly difficult to come by -- along with their brats and the fresh, soft breads. They also always have so many great suggestions for pickled treats and specialty items that remind us of traditional German meals. This summer we're definitely planning on picking up some of their steaks and racks of ribs for grilling season because they always look so fresh, red, and delicious in the display case. The staff is wonderful, and especially the younger gentleman who works there has become our favorite person to see when we visit. He's incredibly charming and friendly, and honestly you can get so distracted talking with him that you lose track of time. We visit many times throughout the year and always leave happy. A true hidden gem for anyone looking for authentic German foods and a warm, welcoming atmosphere.

This used to be my go-to place in the Catskills for German sausages, deli and grilling meats…read more(steaks, rack of lamb etc). Unfortunately, since the business got sold and had a change in owners, things have gone downhill big time. The sausages are far from what they used to be. Casings are not properly closed, they don't taste the same and their Wienerle look wrinkly and outright unappetizing + they are oversmoked. Very sad to see an institution go downhill and change that quickly from being an authentic German butcher to being a subpar spot that has none of the craftsmanship and quality that they used to have. Won't be back!!
