Stopped into Fat Butcher in Lawrenceville expecting just to grab some meat for the week, and ended…read moreup walking out with lunch too because everything looked too good to pass up! It's a proper neighborhood butcher shop on Butler Street, the kind of place that had mostly disappeared around here. They do whole animal butchery with meat sourced from local Pennsylvania farms, and you can feel how much the folks working there care about what they're doing. It's not a huge space, just a display case full of cuts, a wall of house made goods, and a small sandwich menu, but that's part of the charm. The staff were friendly and happy to point me in the right direction. The sandwiches are what really got me though. The smash burger is fantastic, a double patty on a challah bun with that special sauce, and you can actually taste the quality of the beef, which makes sense given the whole operation is built around good meat. I also grabbed some of their house made pastrami, and it did not disappoint, tender and full of flavor. Knowing everything is made in house, right down to the bacon and sausages, makes it even better. If you live nearby and don't have a butcher yet, this is the one.

First time in the shop! Very welcoming and helpful staff, I gave them an idea of what I wanted to…read moremake for dinner and they helped me pick the perfect cut of steak! Love the decor in the shop. There were many prepared food options in the fridge, as well as various cuts of meat/preparations of it. We got two sandwiches, the cheesesteak and the marbella. I dont think we ended up with the correct order because we didn't end up with a cheesesteak, but did not realize until we got home. I'm positive that if I went back to the shop they would've remedied the situation, but I didn't feel it was necessary! The sandwich we did end up with was good as well, unsure which one it was though. Very fair prices, and our dog was so happy we brought him home a bone as well! Looking forward to coming back and trying everything they have to offer.

A narrow pathway down two meat counters, but perfectly laid out with the selection and prices written behind each counter. Ostrich. Python. Pheasant. Antelope. Camel.

The service is phenomenal too with plenty of butchers available and ready to answer any questions you have.

On our recent Food Tour of the Strip District, our first stop was at Parma Sausage Products. We tried the Lon Zetta, Rustico, and Hot Sopressata. You could taste the subtle flavorings and the meat was such a smooth bite! Hearing the history of this family owned business was the best - with photos across the walls celebrating the rich traditions! The meats are still made on site with the small quality and heritage of the past generations! The current owner was happy to share his stories and ready to answer any questions we had. We all walked out with additional purchases to level up our charcuteries and sandwiches. I purchased the Bourbon Salami for $8. The prices are ridiculously good - especially because you are buying it right from the source! Make sure to stop in to Parma during your next visit to the Strip District!

Other menu items include salamis, capicollo, prosciutto, hams, pancetta, and much more. I purchased one Polish kolbassi. It was a large size, so it was enough for my husband and me for two meals. This kolbassi had a decent price and tasted pretty good.

Once again, we were not disappointed! We have tried everything from the bacon & sausage to the ham steaks & have found this as equally excellent!! You can't go wrong buying whatever you desire from Dixon's. The prices are extremely fair (much lower than what you'll find at your local supermarket, and the quality & service is as equally superb!) Jeremy is wonderful to work with, & will go out of his way to see that you get a top notch product at the best price you'll find. The Dixon's are very conscientious about customer satisfaction, & trust me, you won't be sorry if you give them a try!
