Saugatuck Provisions — Local services in Westport

This place is the perfect example of why to write a review after your first experience. I don't even know where to start.... as you can probably tell from my other reviews, I am all about relationship, appreciation and respect. I want to feel valued that I choose to spend my time and money in an establishment. the first time I walked in two staff members greeted me before I got to the deli case. First impression.. CLEAN! The floor was swept, no handprints on the glass, no wrappers laying around, clean. Well stocked with meats, sauces, dipping sauces, organic veggies, three ingredient breads, cheeses, ice cream, but not your normal stuff.... GOOD quality, health friendly foods, that gave me a sense of confidence, that these people meant to do good and provide goodness and value to their customers. I have not been disappointed! I spend... in there, and am glad to do it. The meat is semi local from farms in the tri state area that follow a strict raising and harvesting protocol.. grass fed and in most cases free range. The quality, texture and taste, is the best for me, and all those are very important to me and my family. Cost? If you consider your purchase as quality by the pound, you will definitely understand the value. I used to shop at a local farm store near me in Trumbull, the meat which is raised and harvested on that farm, is at best, Hit or Miss, and often a miss. SP quality, flavor, texture, and freshness, is hands down the best I have had locally, and big name food stores... no contest at all. I am constantly surprised by new things. One stellar find was the rotisserie chicken! The best we have ever tasted! I gave up on trying to find a decent chicken, cooked or uncooked. So fatty and plump with whatever they inject in them, I was totally disheartened. But I was in a pinch, needed something fast and easy, and picked up a chicken and baked/roasted, yamm halves. BM&Cd the whole way home that I spent $25 for a chicken and a potato... I have purchased four more since.. in three weeks! The absolute best, lean, juicy, flavorful, tender, chicken, since Sevelles, (yea, I'm old.) At SP... where ever you ground your definition of value, it should be on yourself, your family and your health. You will find nothing but value, kindness, cleanliness, quality at Saugatuck Provisions.. I will continue to faithfully shop there even when my local work has ended. I can't stop telling people about it, because it is a literal Home Run, you can't go wrong, and nothing to regret. I think back on times I spent ridiculous money on a popular brand or restaurant, and regretted it... I don't mind spending when it is hands down worth it. Everyone working there is respectful, and make me feel like they are happy I chose to shop there.. the whole place is...

Today, I had the pleasure of visiting my favorite store once again, to place a custom cut order. As I browsed through the aisle, my eyes landed on a rare and highly sought after ingredient in Japanese cuisine - the Gyu-Suji-Niku. Known as Beef Flank Drop in the US, this delicacy is hard to come by. But thanks to this amazing store, I was able to get my hands on it.

What made the experience even more remarkable was the personalized attention I received from the owner, Matt, and the butcher-master, Paul. They went above and beyond to showcase their expertise in cutting grass-fed beef, even giving me a behind-the-scenes look at how it's done.

I left the store feeling inspired and grateful to have such a gem in my town. I can't wait to see what new and exciting custom orders I can...

Not only that, but you can trust in the safety and top-notch quality of...
