This was by far the most disgusting, repulsive, vomit-inducing establishment I have ever set foot in. I have seriously considered calling the USDA to report this business for non-compliance with their butcher shop. The smell of dead, rotting animals when I walked in immediately made me want to throw up. We had ordered a pig for a pig roast -- granted, I know they have to kill it, gut it, etc, which is not pretty! -- but there was far too much dealt with in an unclean way (and exposed to the customer!)... such as: blood/general slime on the doors, rodent disposal bins in the corners, flies everywhere, a dog licking the guy's hand as he came out of the butcher room... then watching him NOT wash his hands, type on his computer, and go back into the butcher room. All without gloves / hand washing. It was absolutely vile. Did I mention the smell?? I had to breathe through my mouth the entire time to stay there. Furthermore the staff hardly spoke English besides the one guy that helped us.

The staff is EXCELLENT and have been very knowledgeable when I ask questions.They know what they are doing and I don't buy elsewhere.Why would...

Not only do they have great prices (who can say no to 10 lbs of ground beef or pork chops, both for under 20 bucks each!) but they were extremely helpful, even recommending a particular type of steak to grill instead of what I had picked out. Plus, free hot dogs or chicken if you purchase something from their meat case? How can you go wrong?? Walked out with 24 lbs of meat for less than 50 bucks. Now that's a deal! (And to boot, the steak grilled up really nicely and tasted great!) Highly...
