I've heard about this place before and was super excited to try it today while in the area. The spot is super cute and definitely feels like a cozy neighborhood Italian butcher shop. They have lots of fresh beef cuts, as well as some prepared food options like chicken cutlets and pastas. All of which looked great and like the perfect option to grab on a late night when you don't fully feel like cooking but want a homemade made. They also have a pretty nice wine selection, some baked goods (mostly cookies), and a cooler full of homemade soups, marinades and sauces. That seemed like the coolest part to me. You could buy your meat there and even buy the marinade in case you wanted to coon the dish a little later. I got the Kytana sandwich, which has smoked there, bacon, avocado, Russian dressing and arugula on a brioche bun with caraway seeds. The flavor of the sandwich was pretty good, although the turkey did taste pretty salty. I know that can sometimes happen with smoked meats, but this felt like a lot to me. My friend got the bbq short rib sandwich which looked delicious. It was on a hoagie roll and had pickles, red onion and cheddar cheese. The bbq sauce was really light, kind of seemed like a bbq gravy, but it was really tasty. I also got a pumpkin snickerdoodle cookie which was tasty. Service was super friendly and comfortable. The docs is very clean and looked like it has a lot of high quality ingredients, etc. I'd definitely return to try another sandwich of something for their adjacent smoke shop. If I cooked more and lived nearby, I could see myself picking up a nice steak here to make at home. read more

Few Years later but experience is absolutely the same. Same awesome sandwiches, same awesome experience. Definately worth checking out!

Theee BEST Gouda Mac and Cheese, as well as the brisket. A bit pricey, but you get the matching quality and flavors!

Top quality meat. Did get a whole lamb shoulder for me on request. Great non- meat products also. Added bonus excellent BBQ next door.

I have been known on more than one occasion to drive an hour here to get a corned beef sandwich!! Don't miss out! Their meat cuts are amazing and the shop is full of specialty items at super affordable prices! I am a big fan! read more

What a great experience! Got there right before closing (5:56) and didn't think we'd be able to order. Anthony assured me that we could still be serviced. What stood out was that he was happy to still prepare our items even though it was go home time. He made three outstanding recommendations. We ended up with the Larry, BBQ short rib and the steak sandwich. I rarely order food without modifications BUT the short rib sandwich is perfect to order. The Larry could use a little tweaking for my preference and the steak sandwich was pretty tasty. While we waited we tried the smoked turkey salad. . The way the smoke flavor embodied the meat was incredible. A tad salty but still delish. I got a history on the restaurant from Allison. It's so refreshing to see people enjoy their work and they definitely do. I enjoyed my wait just chatting with her as she wrapped up her day. Again not rushed or too busy to provide great service at the end of the day. Then I found out that next door had even more to offer...... they deserve their own review. As for here! 10/10 food and service. read more

They have one of the most beautiful dry aging rooms I've ever seen their technique is impeccable. Went there to get a sandwich. It was almost like a pork bun meat done barbecue style. It was absolutely delicious. My girlfriend got a chicken thigh sandwich absolutely delicious. Just very creative very flavorful the exotic spices. Somebody cared about those sandwiches and somebody cares about that place. I highly recommend it. It is spotless. It's beautiful unfortunately live too far away from the girl there too much but I highly highly recommend recommended and I'm a food snob so please trust me on this read more

Wonderful selection of beef, chicken and pork. Love their bolognaise sauce. Aging beef for the Quagliata venues (Giovanis, Crostatas). Never disappointed. read more

Amazing food. Perfect every time. My office has recently started to order from here and I love it! Definitely worth trying.

Yummy, a great place to order your sandwich for lunch. We went next door(TX BBQ) to sit down for lunch. Friendly staff. Will try the Texas BBQ next time. read more

Stopped in for the first time last week Picked up some very good steaks, some ground breakfast sausage Both very tasty. I will be back read more

Clear signage. Plenty of parking. However easy to miss - we just don't have many one-way parking plaza's in Cleveland. It is the plaza north of Heinen's grocery store. It is primarily Carryout but there are so bistro tables outside. It appears to be a full-service butcher. The window is full of dry aged beef! The motif is so cute and is extremely clean inside. So I think they deserve to be categorized as a boutique butcher. I think the Village Butcher has the most spectacular sandwiches in town. The "Larry" is the BEST cheesesteak I have had in Cleveland. High quality ingredients, generous with the amount of meat and beautiful bread. The other sandwich we tried was the "PLG". Holy Toledo! The best Italian sub I have ever had. The lunch meats are premium. The basil aioli will have you licking your fingers! This sandwich can be made hot or cold. We get it cold and let it set out for an hour. Please try this place. You will not regret it! read more

Great place and staff! Sandwiches are amazing. The Larry is my go to, with a side of fries! The best!!!

Delicious sandwiches!!! We have been several times and loved them every single time. They are worth the price.

I was looking for a quick and good lunch spot and came across this place. You walk in and get the butcher shop vibe. There is no seating so be prepared to take your lunch and find somewhere to eat. There is a nice park right down the street. I had the rib sandwich and a soup. This sandwich was the absolute bomb! The rib meat had the best consistency, tender to bite but not tough. The flavor was just wow- the buttery bread, the pickles and slaw were a great combo. The soup was very good, with a smooth and creamy flavor. Prices were fair and they had a bunch of yummy things for sale. read more

There are some really good sandwich places in Cleveland (ferrara's, herb n twine, larder, Davis bakery, Dave's cosmic, etc), but village butcher was very special and I get why it was recently ranked #1 sandwich shop in the Cleveland area. We had the Kytana Sandwich, which was on a crisp homemade brioche roll with caraway seeds, roasted Turkey avocado Swiss arugula and Russian dressing. The sandwich was a sloppy mess and I loved every second of it! On the side we tried the Italian street corn which is a cool take on elote and the corn was cooked super well done so the corn fell off the cob, it was a great addition to the sandwich! Also don't forget to get your pantry staples and fresh meats out of their butcher case! read more

Ordered: PLG sandwich, Crispy Z sandwich, fries, street corn Price: ~$45 Ambiance: Stopped by this place 30 mins prior to closing and they weren't too busy. The shop is essentially a butcher counter with a small kitchen tucked in the back and a wall of imported pasta and sandwich supplies. The place is sub-optimally organized IMO. You order food at the butcher counter just like the people ordering meats, then pay at the table by the entrance which means doubling back against incoming traffic, then walk to the opposite end by the kitchen for your food. This creates a lot of cross traffic which can be confusing. There is no sitting room so hot food is all carry out by the way. Aside from these problems, the store is neat with cool imported pastas, fancy mustards, multiple brands of imported tomatoes, etc. There are vintage radios on the shelves which is a cool decorative touch and a massive meat scale by the kitchen you'll wish you could climb on. The food is made fresh one order at a time so it can take a while, we waited maybe 25-30 mins with two orders ahead of us. Food: Of our sandwiches, the PLG was the clear winner. It's a big sandwich with a log of thinly shaved imported cured meats sitting on hearty bread, a bed of greens, and topped with fat slices of beefsteak tomato and a garnish of shaved red onions. The ratios were very satisfying and the balance between savory and acidic was perfect, it's definitely something I'd get again. The crispy Z was basically a classic fried chicken sandwich made with two boneless skinless thighs. It's a very good sandwich with great house pickles but compared to the PLG it seemed like not that much food despite being the same cost. As for sides, 100% get the fries. They're a relatively small order for the price but they're amazingly flavorful and crispy, you won't regret it. The street corn was good as well, you basically get three small pieces that are roasted, and slathered in a garlicky cilantro cream and generously sprinkled with Mexican cheese. Overall, village butcher makes some admittedly great sandwiches with quality ingredients. They don't have a huge variety on their menu but what they offer is generally tasty. I will admit I'm a little sad the PLG wasn't made with meats cured in-house and their selection of cured meats was somewhat sparse overall but this place has only been open a few months and meats can take over a year to cure. The prices do seem a bit high however, $13-14 bucks for a sandwich and $6 for a side is a lot especially when some of them aren't filling. I'd still recommend coming here to try some of their offerings but with the expectation that you're here for the flavor/quality more than anything else. read more

Took a trip there today. The beef ribs were so fatty that I could NOT eat it. It also had NO flavor(seasoning). Definitely NOT worth their price I also ordered the brisket ends, which were pretty good, but STILL NOT WORTH THE COST. The Mac & cheese was decent. One FATTY rib bone, a hand full of pieces of brisket, and a SMALL Mac & cheese= $47+!!!! Needless to say, I WON'T BE BACK. My HONEST review. read more

Awesome butcher/deli shop with great sandwiches and meat! Small shop producing big flavors in all of their products. Service was very nice and made our food very quick and fresh. The PLG sandwich from the deli was amazing, the baguette was warm and toasted which was the perfect base for the salty capicolla sopresatta and prosciutto contrasted with the bright basil aioli and fresh lettuce, tomato,and red onions, and the sandwich was all brought together by the bright and acidic Italian dressing. Everything looks great in there, all the different prepared foods, fresh meats and sauces, I'll definitely make more stops here in the future. read more

Had a few sandwiches from here that were delicious. The service was really friendly, inviting and efficient. I bought some peppered bacon from the butchers case and my family really enjoyed it. I also got some of their house marinara sauce from the cold case and loved it. I'll keep some in the freezer from this point in. read more

Seems like a great spot and very well meaning! Unfortunately my sandwich was loaded with rotten avocado. Please just take the time to let the customer know you are out of avocado rather than smear a good sandwich with rotten veg :( read more

WOW is this place fantastic. I've been here a few times. If your looking for some good quality steaks to grill, this is the butcher for you. Their dry aged selection is ridiculous. I picked up some of the dry aged burgers, and the provolone chicken sausage. Cooked them both on my grill and both are some of the best things to come off my grill. The chicken sausage was juicy and had good flavor. The dry aged burger was fantastic. Watch the heat, they tend to flair up a bit. I also tried the Larry sandwich. Loved it. Every ingredient complimented each other, nothing really over powered the steak sandwich at all. A little bit of fat in it, and that wasn't good for the misses, but that was my sandwich and I loved it. I also got the Crispy Z. Standard breaded chicken sandwich. Same as the steak sandwich... they have a legit chef in the back of that little butcher place. Deffiently will be back again. read more

They don't miss. I've purchase burgers and roast from the meat counter, and the Larry (all time favorite), bbq short rib, and steak and arugula sandwiches. Amazing. Even better is that they're so friendly and provide recommendations on pairings. read more

Awesome place!!! Must try the sandwiches! Take home soups and entrees really great and excellent meats well informed staff read more

We ordered takeout and the food was amazing. The fries were well seasoned and fresh. We got a turkey sandwich and cheesesteak, I forget the names they use for them but both were super flavorful and good sized! Will definitely come back again. read more

Order ahead of time or you may be waiting awhile. This only speaks to how good their sandwiches are. I had the Corny and it was delicious. I could only eat half because they are good size sandwiches. I did not get sides, but maybe next time. read more

Great local butcher. The PLG is a great sandwich! Take your choice on cuts of meat as well as dry aged steaks! Good service as well.

Food was good enough, but holy cross contamination!! I watched the guy who made our sandwiches touch raw meat, seasonings bin, veggies, THEN stick his hand in the coleslaw bin behind the glass deli counter all without changing gloves. So the tray of coleslaw has been contaminated with raw meat. The seasoning bin has been contaminated with raw meat. I mean...thanks for wearing gloves- but you need to change them when you are dealing with raw meat. read more

Had the Chicken Cutlet sandwich. Very tasty breading on the chicken and the marinara and pesto we're good. Bread is quality. Fries were meh and not worth the $6 price. read more

One of the best places in the area to get a sub. The Cheesesteak and Chicken sandwiches are to die for.

We got meat from here for Christmas dinner and it was out of this world. As soon as we could we came and got sandwiches. It's so good I am still mid sandwich. I got their version of chicken parm sandwich and it is SO good. The Italian street corn, I want to bathe in it. The corny was a bit fatty for me but my boyfriend loved it. read more
