Just saw a commercial about this place so I looked it up. Nice references from most but the few who weren't happy point out super poor customer service. Guess I'll take my time getting there. Seems nobody from the business really cares about the negative comments read more

What a nice, clean place to shop! I enjoyed some kielbasa over the weekend at a relatives home. It was so good I had to drive from Clifton Park to get some and try it out. We also picked up some ground sirloin, breakfast sausages and sirloin steaks. All look really good. This is a must stop if you're looking for fresh meat. read more

The kinda place where you walk in and the cashier's question "When did you move here?" makes you feel like a local. We, as in total tourists from 5,000 miles away, were on our way back to our friend's place and decided that thick cut pork chops were the perfect accompaniment to freshly picked your own apples roasted over fire. Walked away with those, and some gorgeous tasty homemade kielbasa we enjoyed a few days later. Friendly service, fresh products and reasonable prices - A+++ read more

Nice man maned Tom helped me with my cut of meat and he even called me back to follow up. Amazing! I listened to his recommendations and went with the cut he suggested and my guest absolutely loved it! Thanks Tom! read more

See all

I have always bought meat at Sals. This weekend I purchased a 7.5 lb roast. I was doing on the grill. The butcher told me exactly how to cook it. I did exactly what he said. The roast was perfect,however, when we all tried to eat it no one could chew it. It was so tough. I was so angry I was going to bring the darn thing back. Then I thought that would not be right. So I called and told them what happened. I wasnt really looking for anything. But was very surprised when the girl said Thanks For Calling. I paid $62 for that roast. Very sad this hasppened. Will not go back read more

I love and have been an established customer for 19 years. However, I was just there (4/4/2022 2:45PM) and waited on by a person who did not change the number signal system so my # was called again, was more infatuated with the Red Sox jacket the customer in front of me was wearing as well as taking the time to point out a mustard to another customer he wasn't waiting on. All of this is good customer service if you do not fail to give the customer you should be attentive to the attention they deserve. I got to the counter to realize I did not get the correct amount of cold cuts I asked for. My time as well as yours is precious. I now must return mid week to order more cold cuts. I asked the person at the counter who he was - she was uncertain but said Joe I am assuming because he dropped my order at the front. A frustrated Yankee fan customer! "Go RED SOX's" I appreciate your kind attention. Thank you read more

This is a great hometown butcher. Their meats are high quality, with an impressive selection of cuts. Their chicken sausage is delicious. The prices are very reasonable, and the staff extremely helpful. I am a repeat customer. read more

I recently wrote a review because I was happy with this butcher shop. Please note that I referred to it as a butcher shop. Unfortunately, I called today to place an order for pin wheel steaks as well as other steaks, but I was advised that pin wheel steaks were only available when they had them. So, trying to order a type of steak in advance isn't something they can handle.....and therefore not really a butcher shop, especially if you are ordering in advance! If they had pinwheel steaks on a regular basis, especially during the summer, I would be a weekly customer. Obviously I was disappointed because they do sell quality meat. read more

I normally have great experiences here but my recent trip rubbed me the wrong way. I got my items and when I got to the counter, I noticed they had pizza for sale. I asked for three slices. The woman working the cash register started to package them up (which can take time, not a big deal). The customer behind me seemed to be getting a little impatient so I said something along the lines of "sorry i'm taking so long" / "sorry for the wait". The woman packaging the pizza up turned around and said something like "well what do you want me to do i gotta get the food right?". ma'am i wasn't blaming you for anything - i was apologizing for asking for pizza at the last second which took extra time. then after she rings me up, i said "thank you, have a good day" before i left and she said "ok goodbye". then continued to make comments to the customer behind me as i left. super uncomfortable. like i said, i've always had a great experience here but her attitude and unnecessary/backhanded comments were not needed. probably won't be back for a while. read more

The meat is 5 stars, the rude old lady who works the cash register is a zero. They are lucky to end up with a 3

Great staff, great products! Not just meats either. They have some great rubs, sauces and sides too. Frozen chicken parm, eggplant and veg lasagna. Sure I can make any of those, but when you have a big day and just want a quality meal without spending an hour prepping, breading, cooking, cleaning up the mess etc. My wife makes a great pasta sauce in part, because we use the meatball mix and their homemade hot and sweet links. Such a treasure to have in the neighborhood. Even after we bought a place in Vt, we still stop over and buy much from Sal's. Sometimes we call our order in too. Did I mention how great the staff is? If you haven't been here what are you waiting for? read more

Local and very fairly priced. You enter with a family atmosphere and the meats are fresh and great quality. Never a bad experience and always coming back for more. Thankful they are there and make life in Rotterdam that much more delicious. read more

Amazing deli & so much more . Was lucky enough to stop in today and then we're doing samples of some their take home dishes , I could have just ate the samples & been full with getting my sandwich lol . Highly recommend ! read more

Absolutely terrific! New to me and I was really happy to find it. Channel 13 featured a cook doing a spot on "summer burgers" and she said she got her meat here. I've been looking for a great meat market in the Schenectady area and now I have found it! Fabulous selection, terrific staff, clean environment, this place has it all! read more

A good place for fresh meat/deli as they are a tad more expensive, but with good quality meat. It isn't a problem for me. read more

Sal's Quality Market - Meat Shops Near Me - Schenectady, New York

I can no longer shop at Sal's because they have out priced themselves for 2 meer pounds of meatball mix it cost me $ 15.00, So I will shop elsewhere for my meats and things I will probably go to Avon or Meatland Markets I am saddened by this because we have shopped here for over 20 years read more

Steaks were very expensive and when we cooked them to medium rare they were tough and flavorless!

Been going there for more than 40 years - great, helpful service, excellent meats. Their sandwich steak is awesome as is their meatball mix. Whenever my kids from down south visit, they always make a stop there to get meatball mix. read more

Good quality meat at an affordable price. They sell all types of meat and cold cuts as well convenient location it is a little hard to park but that has nothing to do with the service they provide I did notice a couple of expired products by third-party sellers on their shelves such as a barbecue sauce however their meat is always fresh read more

Went to Sal's to purchase meat last minute for a family gathering. Once I arrived I was overwhelmed with various scents of spices and such. After looking at the various (over priced) products I ended up only purchasing their ground beef, which was more expensive than the local supermarket but appeared to be superior quality which was fine with me. Also purchased [what was supposed to be a 10lb bag of] boneless chicken breast for $1.89/lb. After cleaning off all the fat and a few bones from it I ended up with just over 7lbs of chicken and about 3lbs of fat, water and bones. Definitely not happy with the chicken as it looks (gray) and feels different (rough/old) than what I've bought from other local meat markets and grocery stores. read more

Been going to Sals for my meat they are a bit pricier than the chain grocery stores but we find there meat much better and when they have sales can be cheaper than the big chain stores. We will continue going to Sals. read more

My Holiday saviors! Wonder experience all around! Very fresh and products worth the money. Highly recommended.

I have been going to Sal's since 1984 and give them a 5 star rating. I could type a few paragraphs, but really ... I don't think I need to say any more. read more
