We had the most wonderful smoked pork chops from Oliver's Butcher Shop (ordered in advance) for our…read morefamily Thanksgiving weekend. The price was incredibly reasonable ($75 for 24 very large chops). Let me be clear that pork chops are not something I tend to run towards as we try to lean into chicken and Turkey most of the time, but these were worth mixing things up. Note that they also have a shop in downtown Union City and offer a variety of other items like potato salad, marinated meats, occasional deserts made by a local business and more. Great option to support local in place of big box stores.

We bought a fair pig this year from a friend. The ground pork, and ham are all we have had so far…read more Both tasted almost spoiled! What some have told us is "boar taint". We called them and their response was essentially uncaring. I would venture a guess that we were not given the meat that was delivered for us. I would never recommend them especially because of how they responded to our call and questions. Rest assured we will never use Oliver's again and I would caution anyone that is thinking about having a pig butchered. There are other great places. This isn't one of them.

First of all I'd like to say, I wouldn't drive over an hour and pass by other butcher shops if I…read moredidn't like their products. My issue is with them not having a bathroom. Drive over an hour spend over 200.00 dollars and you tell people that they need to walk down the street to use the bathroom. That in my opinion is total BS. If you don't want your customers using your bathroom. Then give us another option rather then walking 2.5 blocks to the libary. How hard is it to add a port-o-let out in the parking lot someplace. That isn't 2.5 blocks away. I'll for one not be coming back to this business ever again all due to them not having a bathroom. I feel sorry for their employees having no bathroom to use. Isn't their a law about that someplace. This used to be the only place we'd go. I guess we'll be seeing Winners Meats now. At least they have a bathroom.

Follow up from original review. We finally got to try the package with beef fillet. First, the…read morepackage wasn't sealed completely, was leaking when it became thawed. The fillet was actually disgusting, stringy tough and not pleasant tasting, total waste of our money all the way around. My advice to Curly's, if you're going to package all of your meat frozen, you better make certain you are offering a top quality piece. Also, you might consider offering fresh meat, where a person can actually see the piece they are buying and not guessing what in in the "sealed" package with a label covering most of the cut of meat. Sorry, but you won't last long selling the quality of meat we purchased.

Said everything was from Walnut Creek (which she called a different name) After I asked for clarification, someone else was able to inform me that the chicken comes from GFS.

In today's age when there's so much wrong with our food chain, it would help if the employees at a "locally sourced market" with take their job seriously enough to speak intelligently on their products. Will not be returning.

The counter people and butcher are very helpful and kind. You can tell they value the customer. The deli carries Boars Head cold cuts, which are the best you will find. You can have sandwiches made to order or just get some sliced to go. You will find lovely prepared salads and today they had cabbage rolls so I got a couple. Also their own fresh baked baguettes may be purchased. They've got a slightly firm crust, pillowy interior, and only four natural ingredients. They also carry condiments and jarred pickle type delicacies from small labels, chips and crunchables, and some drool-worthy housemade desserts. This standalone store is off the main road and one of the best turns you'll make in this town. Private parking lot. It has been some time since I last shopped here and it's better than ever.

With this we ended up at Smith Family Farms Market on Saturday and purchased 3 beef filets for grilling on Father's Day. The service was great and the people were very friendly and helpful. BUT, the best part was the steaks. These were by far the best steaks we had grilled in a long while. They melted in your mouth they were so tender. I braised them over high heat for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes on each side. Then grilled them for 8 minutes on each side. They were very thick and turned out beautiful with slight pink center (temperature was about 150° - 155°). As said they were so tender.. We've found a new go to. Our thanks to the people at Smiths for making our Father's Day meal special!!!

This review is for Either Friday or Saturday Oct 8/9, 2021…read more I will say we tried them because they had 5 stars, but sadly only 19 people have reviewed the place, so either they have had more who do not use yelp or others do not leave reviews, which may have made up a difference, for as long they have been in business. I usually like to look thins up before trying local business, especially family owned one's out. I am giving two dates because right now I do not recall which date my partner went in to give these folks a try. Since moving down here we have been looking for a new butcher to shop at as our business was with another local butcher where we lived, so we were could frequent the butcher over store products as 9 times out of 10 butches product is fresher and better depending where you go. So like stated we wanted to give this location a try for the first time. Due to my current health situation with esrd, we tend to not go My partnered had picked up some jerky, a pork shoulder, and Italian sausages. So overall the jerky was ok, and everyone makes their jerky different, but I personally did not care for it, in cased asked why, it was too tough than what I am use to from others. The Italian Sausages, I will say I loved, and will definitely get more if and when we stop in again. Now the reason for 3 stars, I based on both the Pork shoulder and how customer service was handled. I would have given an extra star, but issue was not handled appropriately. I understand this is family ran, I understand how a business is to be ran as I had one for several years, I have as well watched a butcher work their business up north where I am from. The way this location handled issues when my partner called in is not customer service like. I am unsure if regulars get better care than new customers is all I am going to say there. My partner phoned in and the following happen: "She informed about the pork shoulder, was told "we have never had that kind of issue here" Rather than I am sorry and own up to the issue as if we were making something up, we got that and a store credit. So the way the pork shoulder was packaged was as follows: Saran wrap like plastic, and then wrapped in the white like paper. When unwrapping it on Sat or Sunday as it was never frozen, it was suppose to be fresh, I asked what the foul smell was, it was the pork shoulder. I am unsure if the meat was just going bad and this is why this was pushed over the tenderloin we wanted or what the issue was. To owners and staff, we may give you a try again in the near future, and then I will update this review, but until then this is my honest review of our experience of our first time with you guys. I wish it had gone better.
