Olde Towne Butcher — Local services in Fredericksburg

For the longest time I craved a good hamburger. A GOOD one! The kind I remember eating as a kid, beefy deliciousness, crisp exterior, moist perfect interior. I thought no one knew how to cook them anymore. Turns our it wasn't the cook, it was the beef. I know because I bought the ground beef here, took it home and grilled it and immediately felt that I was in a sacred place. Then we tried the bacon. I almost cried, well not really, but really. I can no say enough about this place. The service is fantastic, they have a great selection and the meat (beef, chicken and pork...haven't tried the seafood yet) is worth every dime and more. I am not longer satisfied by the castings of what they label as meat in the big box stores. It doesn't just pale in comparison, it's in a whole other category. This is real food.

I am spoiled forever, and I am ok with that... and so is the hubs, the true beef connoisseur. And if your lucky enough to be in the shop when they have the bacon cheeseburgers (YES they grind the bacon into the hamburger) then you are in for a life...

Went in the store for the first time to order a ribeye roast. Had some questions and placed the order. When I was asking questions, man behind the counter seemed annoyed that I had questions and referred me to a flyer and said, “If you want to know anything else you can read it on this.” Seemed put-out that I was asking question. Went back the next day to purchase some groceries that I saw they had the previous day. At the same time I was canceling my order because they only carry grass fed beef, at least at this time they did. I went to pay and the same man from the day before took care of me. I asked for a bag and was told, “You have to buy a bag, we don’t do plastic.” I asked, “So I have to buy a bag to carry my groceries out?” The associate goes, “Have a nice day” and walked away. Rude! I don’t know how retail expects to exist in this day and age when they treat people so rude. That was a first and...

I've heard of this place before and decided to check it out. As soon as my wife and I walked in, we were met with smiles from the staff.

I don't know much about the place, but it is exactly what you would expect from a well established, hometown butcher that has been there for generations.

All surfaces were very clean and well maintained.

The selections of various meats and local products like sauces, rubs, craft beer, wines, and dairy products were amazing. And everything seemed very fairly priced compared to similar shops.

Also, they are very eco friendly by cutting out plastic containers and encouraging reusable shopping bags.

You guys are doing great and I will...
