Exceptional Quality, Incredible Selection, and True Old‑School Service…read more Westerly Packing is one of those rare places that reminds you why local businesses matter. Every time I walk through the door, I'm greeted by the smell of fresh, high‑quality meats and the kind of friendly, knowledgeable service you just don't get anywhere else. Their butchers are true professionals -- you can ask for custom cuts, cooking tips, or recommendations, and they always take the time to help without rushing you along. The selection is outstanding. Whether you're looking for everyday staples, specialty cuts, or something unique for a holiday or big family gathering, they have it -- and it's always fresh. Their marinated options are consistently flavorful, their sausages are some of the best around, and their steaks are the kind you proudly serve to guests. You can tell everything is handled with care and pride. What really sets Westerly Packing apart is the experience. The staff treats you like a regular even if it's your first visit. The store is clean, well‑organized, and clearly run by people who love what they do. Prices are fair for the quality you're getting, and you always leave feeling like you got real value. If you care about great food and supporting a business that genuinely cares about its customers, Westerly Packing is a must. Five stars all the way. Ask them to try Westerlys gold!! You'll be glad you did. IYKYK Cheers

The work has transformed an old tired area into something beyond our wildest dreams, due to the outstanding job done by the entire team at Larlham Landscape. We really appreciate the way the entire team worked with us, from the onsite consultation, layout design, plant choices and stone wall work; they answered our questions and made suggestions that led to this beautiful finished product. We also want to recognize the two employees who worked through less than ideal weather conditions to complete the work. They went above and beyond to make everything look perfect. It was very clear from the start of this project to the completion of it, that everyone at Larlham, wanted to be sure that we were very happy with the final result.

I don't think we will be frequenting their hot food section anytime soon..

In all honesty, I find the selection of food slightly thinner here than at a big name grocery store. But when I find something, it's always cheaper here.

From what we could see, they carry Fox bikes, which is a very high end, off road, cycle. I'm a 'bike path' sort of gal and an 8k+ cycle is way out of my price bracket. They had others for less, but all were very high end. We walked in on the 'repair' side of the shop (two doors from the sidewalk into the building) and the staff member there directed us over to the sales floor. He was the most pleasant part of our visit. I saw one staff member in the sales area who remained behind the register during our entire visit and I think there was one other staff member assisting a customer with gear. There were several customers milling around without being assisted. We exited through the sales area door and the staff member behind the register there asked if they could help but our reconnaissance pretty much told us what we needed to know. There may have been more options we didn't see, but as it was busy and the floor models all have price tags, I think we got the gist. Still, it would have been nice to have an offer of assistance before we were leaving. I wonder if the other customers there feel the same way.
