This butcher shop is the bricks and mortar location for the farm in Hardwick, MA. If you want food…read morethat is fresh and you know where it is coming from, this is your place! The business has more than just the meat from their farm. They sell local seafood, prepared foods, sausage, cheese and sweets. They have some candy and chocolates from a place in Vermont. The cheese selection is a very good cheese selection (Cowgirl Creamery). People in Worcester will be tempted to go to another meat market nearby that sells cheap meat. So, I say go ahead. Get something from them, then get the same item from Stillman's and taste the difference. The freshness and flavor should be enough. But the most important thing is that this is a family farm treating their animals with respect and comfort. I would much rather have a steak from a happy cow than one that lives in the mass production that stresses the animal.

Orders have been misplaced, only partially filled, "forgotten" and it is never their fault. I have never received an apology. Not even an explanation - more like something between a justification and a finger pointed at me for expecting them to provide basic customer service like filling an order. At Thanksgiving, the line was ffilled with people who were "returning to get my X because you didn't include it when I picked up my pre-order." I buy from them at the Farmer's Market but if I need to order something, I am going back to using Savenor's for: quality, reliability, their initiative in asking about and fulfilling any specifications and my ability to get cuts that match enough to be cooked together.

Tonight I warmed that up and the sweet Italian sausage and ... I'm in love. I'll define you be headed back for both. The store was very clean and although not packed like the other location it had all I was looking for this day. Thank you for a great experience

I am not blaming the restaurant because the world post-covid has gone absolutely insane from an inflation standpoint. With beef as their 'go to' and chicken no longer being a 'loss leader's (now costing what steak did two years ago, it's not the restaurant's fault. However, I nearly fell out of my chair when I learned the All You Can eat lunch price was nearly $50! For this type of 'cafeteria', a total shocker. The other (better) option is the pay per pound. $17 for salad bar and meat and $20 for just meat. I did the salad bar ... you'd be surprised how much two plantains and a slice of tomato weigh! Salad bar: The rice was very good. The plantains were perfect. The French fries were surprisingly good. They had all kinds of fresh vegetables, mayonaise-covered salads and a huge variety of items. I suppose it would be worth it to get this alone ... however this is where the heavy items that add weight to the price are. Meat station: The guy serving was nice enough but spoke maybe two words of English. I speak English, Spanish and French but no Portuguese ... so we had a difficult time when it came to relating how big a slice I wanted, or how many pieces. My guess is that he is hired more for his expertise running the grill than for serving. And he did a great job as the meat was cooked perfectly. Bacon wrapped chicken ... The only disappointment of the meal. The chicken (and bacon) was dry. It really didn't taste like bacon and the only reason I finished my piece was because I had paid for it. Flank steak ... So good! The outside had a nice char with a salty, almost crunchy texture while the inside was juicy and flavorful. This was my favourite item and I actually went back to get a second plate, despite how filling it is. Garlic steak ... Incredibly salty. A little goes a long way. I didn't get any garlic taste ... it was mostly just salt. I liked it but would choose the flank steak (which is also salty) over this as the marinade made it a little drier. Pork sausage ... Very nice. I didn't notice a huge difference between the spicy and non-spicy but it was cooked really well and it was flavorful. Pineapple ... Okay, this is a must get! This was oddly my favorite part of the meal. I have never had pineapple this good. It is done on the grill with the entire pineapple and they slice pieces off. It is covered in a brown butter sauce that is so flavourful, it is certainly one of the best pineapple dishes I've ever eaten. Because there was a line and the pieces of paper with the meat choices are mostly in Portuguese, I didn't get to try all I'd have liked to ask ordering felt rushed with the line waiting behind me. The all-you-can eat will likely give you the opportunity to try a little of everything. Overall, the better value seems doing the pay by weight and going back for seconds if you are hungry. My first plate was some salad bar stuff (tomato slice, cucumber, plantains, yellow rice and a few french fries) plus a strip of flank steak, bacon wrapped chicken and a pork sausage. That was $17 and I could have stopped there. My second plate was two strips of flank steak, a strip of garlic steak, a piece of pineapple and two plantains from the salad bar. This one was $12. My total with a $2.25 lemon aid (terrible and flavorless from a jug) and a tip was around $35. Expensive for lunch ... but I probably didn't need as much steak on round 2 as I left feeling stuffed. Everything was tasty and while the atmosphere feels more like a cafeteria in a Caribbean country ... and the seating arrangement makes you snake through tables to get to the salad bar or meat station, everything seemed spotlessly clean. I will certainly return again, despite a fairly high lunch price. If there is one tip I can give you ... don't skip the pineapple from the meat station.

They have what you're looking for, or if they don't they'll order it for you. The quality is excellent and the prices are very fair.

They've got the right idea. This place is a local treasure.

It's not just a maze; it's a test of will and a challenge to your sense of direction. I'm pretty sure I saw a family celebrating their one-year maze-iversary in there. I emerged an hour later, a different man, covered in bits of corn stalk and existential dread. And the pumpkins? They're magnificent. I didn't just pick one; I was chosen. We locked eyes across the field, a giant, warty gourd and I. It was a moment of pure, unadulterated connection. I paid the very reasonable price and felt a sense of pride that I haven't experienced since I successfully parallel parked on the first try. In conclusion, S&S Farm is more than just a farm stand. It's a hilarious, humbling, and slightly muddy adventure. 10/10, would get lost in a corn maze again.
