I went here today 3/22/25. Have bought here many times in the past, I find there is one very unfriendly and grouchy butcher, the one with the dark red hair and beard. He is that way with my wife and son when they go in differently at different times, so he more then likely that way with everybody. My wife, my son and I have talked about this guy, He makes the customer feel uncomfortable and that our business is not appreciate, we have stopped gong there until he is gone. We buy the whole piece of ribeye, I ask if there is a discount for volume $400+ purchase and the answer is always NO from the unfriendlily butcher, because he has to cut it and pack it, I'm thinking isn't that a butchers job is, I mean he has to do it for the steaks in the case so what the difference ????? Then the whole piece is weighed with all of its fat on at $23.99/lb. the same price as the TRIMMED RIBEYE IN THE CASE, so I am paying full ribeye meat price for the fat that gets cut off, with that being said I'm really paying more like $28/lb. for the actual steak meat That's taking advantage of the customer. The 2 very true points above it creates a feeling of mistrust. Between the unfriendly butcher and the increased price of the steak FAT and him taking the full piece out of sight in the back room to cut it really concerns me that I may not be getting all of the steaks from...

If you plan on bringing a deer here DON'T.. First off if you want half sausage and half burger they won't do it for you, you have to pick one or the other. Second they tried charging me 200$!!!.. for an 80lb deer, which was the carcass weight. When I asked for a final weight on the butchered meat they wouldnt tell me I'm assuming maybe 50lbs. I didnt even bother picking it up I cant justify paying $200 for 40 or 50lbs. Also when I called to check on my deer after it was there 9 days he was very rude rude.

Last year I took my deer to a great little place in Southington on Center st that charges by the pound. I ended up with 115lbs of butchered meat for $120 based off that price my deer should've been around 60 70 bucks. They will also butcher the meat anyway you'd like and are very friendly. Save yourself the frustration and take your deer...

This butcher and their meat is INCREDIBLE! It was my first time placing an order for meat and I was very nervous I would look like a fool. I should not have worried! They are very nice and professional. The man on the phone took the time to go through all the meats and what would be best for that particular cut. He also explained the process and what the next step would be. So easy and the meat and bones that we got... AMAZING! We have given away samples to friends and family. Some have even gone to butchers in New York in the past. They all agreed our meat was the best and will be using Litchfield Locker from now one. We have ordered cow and pig and haven't been...
