The Butchers Block — Local services in Fond du Lac

I was looking for a new place to try.

Walking in, I looked around in the meat displays and I did not see any beef tips. I asked the nice gentleman behind the counter if he had any. He then went and back to see if the butcher could cut some up. He came back shortly and said “sure no problem”. Moments later the butcher himself came up with the wrapped beef tips and weighed them. I sat at the counter to be checked out, I said, “Thank you for doing that. I appreciate it.” He replied “Thanks for calling ahead.” In a snarky tone. I replied “Sorry I didn’t know that. This is my first time here.” Then he proceeded with back peddling, realizing what he had done. The one other gentleman in the store behind me looked at me and shock. Being a business owner myself he most definitely isn’t doing himself any favors for customer retention. I hope the beef tips are good, but I surely will...

Went to The Butcher's Block for the first (and what will be the last) time today. Ordered two T-Bone steaks and 2 New York Strips. While the woman behind the counter wrapped them, I browsed through their freezer case. BIG MISTAKE, guess I should have watched her. Tonight, as I pulled out what had been a gorgeous pair of T-bones in the case, to let them come to room temp, I was somewhat horrified by what I discovered. Without having asked, the woman had apparently trimmed off the tenderloin portion of the steaks!!!! That's the whole damned point of getting a T-bone steak. The best part of the cut, removed without even a word to me about it (yes they were there in the case so she definitely removed them). No clue what would possess a butcher to do this but needless to say I'm incredibly angry. Not a place I'd ever recommend to...

Nice people but if you're Hispanic looking for arracherra y tripa, go somewhere else por que he doesn't know how to cut it so he just leaves it whole thick 2" piece for the whole 25 years he's been a butcher, said he never met anyone who slices it... lol Well that's one way to say you've never met a Mexican butcher because it always comes sliced en Mercado Mexicano. There is a good amount of Hispanics here in FDL and no where for us to get our meat, so we have to travel far for it. You would get a lot of brown business if you learned a new skill. They say even as a professional you should never...
