Aesthetically, it's not much to write home about. The walls are decorated with the standard meat charts, and there are posters from the Royal Winter Fair, which the store appears to participate in on some level. The meat is good, thankfully. I tend to usually pick up a few things Euro-style, getting a half pound of bacon to take care of breakfasts to come and a BLT or two and a chicken breast for that night's stir fry. The shop also has a hot lunch counter, and it's got a lot of tasty stuff. You have to get there quick or you'll find it's run out of the tastiest items as local workers show up. And we all know to follow the locals to where the good food is. The wrap I picked up one day was a bit greasy, but grease is flavour. I've never done a turkey or cow order from them, but if you need to pick up a couple items from them they're a good shop.

Super good lean beef, pork, and chicken. I have been using their meats for my business and have…read morebeen very pleased with the quality and taste. The whole chickens are very moist and such a great size. I need big ones- and these are meaty and just really awesome. Obviously you pay a little more for this kind of quality but I am proud to use their products and believe my customers will love my end product event more.

We just happened to be walking by looking for somewhere to get lunch. I peeked in the window here…read moreand saw it was much more than a meat counter. There were several prepared items you could buy: salads, samosa, pakora, beef patties, sausage rolls, chicken cutlets, baked potatoes, etc. There was nothing vegan and gf for me but hubby got beef patties, sausage rolls and chicken fingers (smaller version of cutlets). He heated them at home and both he and my son enjoyed them all. They even sold Cadbury Flake chocolate bars from England so of course that was purchased and enjoyed as well. They have a freezer section and lots more in the back of the store as well. This was a nice local find in port credit:)

I came out of my way because of the 5* rating to get some filet mignon steaks. The meat counter had…read morea few other cuts of steaks etc., but no filet. He had some frozen bacon wrapped steaks all of different thicknesses. The man behind the counter was kind enough to put together three of similar thickness, so I took those. Most real butcher shops have enough beef filets to cut the steaks a customer wants. The meat looks like good quality, but don't come here expecting a butcher shop or a butcher.

Oh man, Boffo's. How do I even start to explain Boffo's?…read more Boffo's is flawless. One time, Boffo's met John Stamos on a plane and he told them they were pretty...amazing. One time, Boffo's steak was so fresh, it punched me in the face. It was AWESOME. But enough Mean Girls references, let's get down to the meat. THE MEAT. They are the BEST butchers in Oakville, with the best employees. Everytime I come in, I feel SO welcomed, I have never felt the least bit intimidated or like I didn't belong. I've bought everything from meats to prepared pasta meals to lunch from Boffo's, and everything is amazing, everytime. I can't get over how decadent and high-end they feel, but how friendly and down to Earth they really are. If you like to eat, you will love Boffo's. Go today. And avoid Mean Girls references, they really drag you in...I WANT MY PINK SHIRT BACK!!

I won't be going back. Zero service. I walked in, wandered throughout the store - I was the ONLY customer there amongst 4 staff members, yet not one staff member acknowledged me. I hate that. I find that arrogant. And I didn't just breeze in and out. I literally walked from the stand-up freezers, to the little booth displaying the dry-aged primal cuts of beef, along the butcher's counter, to the deli counter...I paused to look at bags of Picard nuts, and even almost decided to buy a package of pepperoni sticks - right beside the cash register! No one made a move toward me. Even just a friendly hello and I would have bought.... Nothing. I left. I won't be back.

In recent years we've opted for turkey stuffed turkey breast instead of the whole bird because the smallest one was 15+ lbs! The quality of meats here is always remarkable. The staff who have been working here for years are always friendly, knowledgeable, and work around this shop like a well oiled machine. In pre-pandemic times, they would offer a free Christmas dinner in a cup where you could add everything including cranberry sauce and gravy and enjoy it while you wait for your order to come out. My suggestion is to order well in advance to get on the list. They are doing drive through/car pick ups right now as well.

I wasn't sure what to expect so I opted for some marinated boneless lemon and herb chicken breasts.

Tender and juicy. Later I found out they already have prepared shish kabobs. Doh! I will definitely return to try their other specialties (ribs and steaks).

Tip: The short ribs are awesome!…read more I was introduced to Wild Fork through a Yelp community event. I loved what I had sampled that I made a purchase and enjoyed what I got. This store is in a plaza with tons of parking. I backed into a parking spot fairly close to the store. I noticed a tent across from the store. The tent had food samples. Yay! I sampled the following items: - Korean beef short ribs - Jerk chicken wings - Garlic bread - Bourbon garlic bison sausage My favourites were the short ribs and garlic bread. The former had a mild spice kick to them. I loved the marinade and flavour. The beef was tender. I loved them so much that I got William from Wild Fork to point me to the aisle where I could buy them. The latter had a generous smear of butter and garlic. It was excellent. The jerk chicken wings were yummy. The problem was that a couple of wings that I had were undercooked. I saw a bit of blood, so I stopped eating them. At first, I felt that the sausage was dry and needed more fat. I then realized that I was eating bison, which is lean. It made sense why it seemed dry for a sausage. It wasn't gamey. I couldn't taste the bourbon, but I did taste the garlic. The store has wide aisles. This store is bright and inviting. Wild Fork blast-freezes all their meats. They are then packaged such that the seasoning gets into the meat. Yumminess ensues when you thaw and prepare them. This place also sells mini lime and vanilla cheesecakes. I had the lime first. It had a subtle lime flavour in the cheesecake filling. I didn't like the graham cracker crust. It was too crumbly and dry. It needed more butter to have the crust stay intact. I brought the vanilla home. Same issue with the base. The cheesecake part was good, but I didn't taste the vanilla. I paid for my short ribs at the checkout. I paid with a MasterCard. I tapped and was done. I pan-fried the Korean short ribs at home. It was easy and it took little time, roughly three minutes on each side over medium heat. They were thin, but meaty and delicious! I need to return to get more. It's a cool store. I wish it were closer to home, but at least it's not too far away from work to grab what I need here. (326)
