Its a quaint little butcher shop, with typical faire one would expect.We took some King Salmon and Lake trout here to be smoked.Their price to smoke fish is comparable to other butcher shops. They use saw dust to smoke the fish and a brine process to cure the fish. It wasnt entirely clear if you had a choice of wood species or rub.Probably the cons of this place is they only take cash or check. Not sure why they take checks but not debit cards. Checks are such a high liability compared to debit and credit cards.Also Im not sure how long they brine and smoke fish but it was a bit dried out for out taste.If they took debit cards we would be more likely to patronize them in the future.Hopefully they come into the late 20th century (late 1990s) in terms of payment methods accepted in the future.I dont know how they stay open only taking checks and cash.Lastly they allow a dog to roam around the store and back area. Not sure if this is allowed under health department regulations but doesnt lend itself to putting much faith in staff following safe food handling techniques.
Excellent snacks and good cuts. staff is also very nice
Great place for all your fresh meats needs. I love the Butcher Block and have been frequenting for years. Great, friendly, and always helpful staff. The prices are super fair and product is always top notch. Try the mambo wambo brats for the grill...you will not be let down 👍
Always friendly staff and very helpful. Awesome meat selection 👍
Best place I’ve ever been for sausage and pork. Make sure to try the Capone meatballs. So funny all the negative reviews have nothing to do with the quality of the products but instead are about masks. Wear your own mask if you feel the need. That should be enough to keep you safe. Or better yet, stay home. More products for my family.
I absolutely love this butcher. Ive been going there since I was a teenager, and my parents before me, etc. Best meats 🍖 around!
Weve gone to Butcher Block for many years and have always been happy with our purchases. We were VERY disappointed over the holidays when there was a sign on their door that masks were required but when we entered NO staff was wearing a mask and approximately half of the customers in the store didnt have one on either. Weve started exploring other area butcher shops since. Both weve gone to all staff and customers had masks. We were very happy with our purchases from these two shops and even though they arent as close to our home, thats where we will shop from now on. If you state something (Masks required) and then dont do it yourself, what else are you saying that isnt true?
The Butcher Block is by far one of the best family owned and operated butcher shops in the Milwaukee area. The business not only provides quality products but they do not force unlawful regulations on folks. They also keep their prices down by utilizing cast and checks only. Sorry credit and debit card users, stop by the ATM before coming. Stop by for some great meats and support a quality small business.
This place is amazing and awesome. I found it looking to get some fish smoked. They did a excellent job smoking my coho and lake trout. Really nice brine and taste of finished product. Then I bought some steaks because I couldnt resist the prices. Also, the family is so nice and the smiles are pretty !!!!
Great fresh Sausage.
Great selection of meats and excellent service!
Cant say enough about this place you makes my Italian sausage special for me love it and I drive from Illinois to go there great butcher Market I tell everybody about this place and just recently one of my friends told me and whyd you only give it 4 stars I said I didnt I gave it five but I checked back sure enough it said for but now five
Good meat and pizzas. Went there at noon and the lot was crowded. They had a fantastic system there and we were in and out in no time flat.
I moved to this area just over 4 years ago, passed it a 100 times until this Sunday stop. I got the hot ham & rolls that was very good for the perfect car picnic and today, I got a sausage pizza I really have to say......a darn good pie. Everything looks great so I have many future stops.
Good place to get fresh meats and sausage 😋
Great and very friendly staff!! Meat is excellent!! Plus the ring bologna and venison sticks they made for were the best!!
Hot ham is great. VERY disappointed that no staff were wearing masks, there was no sign on the door for people to wear masks. Did not feel comfortable in the store and should have left. But, as I said, meat is great. BUT, I will not be going back until Covid is over or masks will be worn.
Love this place! Everything is fresh and delicious, buy all my meat from them.
Ive been going there for 20 years. They always have the freshest meats and specialty items. Once you try them, you wont go anywhere else!!
The price and quality are excellent. The staff is very friendly and helpful.
Great products and great service in this store! Family-owned small business, local. Have to support them, cant go wrong shopping here!
Best place in southeastern WI to catch COVID-19! Employees do not wear masks in accordance with the state of WI mandate, and they don’t enforce it on customers either. This place is nasty! Avoid, unless you want to risk catching Covid-19 from a business that clearly doesn’t care.
Took my deer here to cut up, the deer was 130-150 pounds, and only got 30 lbs of meat back. I called to see why it was such a little amount and they told me I shot it in the front shoulder so they couldn’t use some of the meat. When I know for a fact I didn’t shoot it in the shoulder because I was the one who gutted the deer and seen where the bullet went through.
Excellent meat. Awesome service. My dog loves the bones. We go every week.
Since opening, Ive always enjoyed shopping/supporting Butcher Block. Customer service was very good. Last 3 times I went into purchase meat, the staff werent wearing masks.These last three times Ive gone in, w mask during virus, the young women behind counter were rude and unfriendly.Lack of your customer appreciation, no masks, no sign to wear mask says you dont care about your customers. I wont be back.
No masks on any staff members. Health department rules are apparently optional and overall cleanliness of the store seems poor.Snack sticks were dry, grainy, and mealy. Flavor not great. Very uncomfortable environment as a first time customer.Don’t waste your time here, they don’t seem to care if you’re there or not.
My wife and our audult children and their families have used Butcher block for many years and the quality of product and service has always been excellent. When my wife and i bought their jerky for US Soldiers in Iraq Butcher Block went the extra distance and vaccum sealed everything and prepared the shipment at no extra cost. We highly recommend them for larger party orders or just a weekly dinner.
Best around been buying goodness for years.i also been taking my fish to be smoked here as well hands down best around.
**BEWARE**While Covid-19 cases are surging in WI, this place not only doesnt enforce that their patrons wear a mask to slow the spread (there were 2 people in the shop without masks), the person working there didnt even have a mask on!Thats a big huge NOPE from me.
Great selection and prices. Staff is friendly and helpful.
Well, to start, no maske were worn by employees!A friendly greeting is always nice when walking into a business. We received none.The main reason they lost our sale is that didnt accept debit/credit cards. The majority of the population has direct deposit.Way to inconvenience and loose a first-time customer.Its no wonder Rays on Loomis has such great business
You want quality meat? Are you tired of buying inferior meat from places like walmart? Then butcher block is where you need to go. Prices are comparable to other major food chain grocers and some even better pricing then big food grocers. But the meat quality is bar none better then any store around.
Best butcher on the south side of town great meats and good price s
Staff is very friendly & helpful & their meat just tastes so much better than buying from the grocery stores ;) if you havent visited Butchers Block yet, its a must try type of place!
Absolutely love this place. Great staff. Very clean!
Just stopped in for dinner as I passed by. Young man behind the counter was a jackass to several of the customers. The woman helping me was very friendly. Would go back but I refused to be served by someone who doesn’t even want a job.
Tried their homemade Polish sausage.for the first time...best ever!! Perfect blend of spices the way I like it. As a new customer I look forward to trying their other items!!
Great store for meat, but has a poor policy on employees and customers wearing masks during this pandemic!. Won’t go back again until they do, or when the pandemic is over.
Love this place, great meat, great people, and great prices. They only take cash tho
Purchased pork shoulder. It was excellent.
Staff do not wear masks. Average meat anyway, Ray’s Butcher is significantly better.
Great products!! Love this place. Would give them 5 stars if they took credit cards. CASH ONLY! My wife recently went to a rummage sale that took credit cards. There is not a single excuse for this business to not take cards. Often times we end up going somewhere else just because of that inconvenience. Im sure they loose alot of business due to this mistake on their part.
Great food, the young lady working was absolutely terrible at customer service. I felt so unwelcome and rushed to get out of the establishment. I have been there twice in 2 yrs... this happened both times, never going back
I drive from Racine or new Berlin to have my deer processed. The hot sticks were the only complaint. Just not hot enough. They do the burger with or without pork added. The only real issue is its cash only. And for just burger without pork its $99 and they keep the hide. Other than that the prices for bacon, brats, hot sticks or anything else is lower than most places and is done when they tell you and is quality.
I would never go to any other butcher shop! They have amazing deals here throughout the week and their specials they have on bulk meats sometimes, is a super win! The variety they offer and the freshness of everything is just amazing! By far my favorite place to go!
Got the cookout deal, great price. The brats are amazing!
Refused to put a mask on before handling my food, walked out. Science is real.
We stopped in on Saturday afternoon and ordered fresh polish sausage, bacon wrapped filets and beef stew meat. I will start by saying the polish was excellent and we would definitely purchase that again. However, the bacon wrapped filets were stringy and disappointing. The beef stew meat was horrible. It was so tough and dry. My husband used to be a chef and he knows how to cook. I can get better quality meat from the grocery store for half the price. Dont waste your money here.
When out for a ride, the Best Place to stop to pickup to bring something to the BBQ, or take something home for yourself. Doug, Crystal, or Ryan will give you the attention you deserve .
Love the service. Great meat selection.
Great Butcher. Great Prices. Quality meat and good prices. Love their premade Burritos and Breaded Chicken Nuggets.
No masks very disappointing
Friendly business!
Outstanding service, good prices and plenty of product
Always quality and knowledgeable service
Weve been shopping at the Butcher Block for over 20 years and weve always gotten fresh high quality meats at a fair price and always by friendly people.
I give Butcher Block Meat Market 5 stars! Their market is clean, staff is fast, polite, prices are comparable to other markets. I have reccomended Butcher Block to many friends and neighbors!
Awesome beef jerky
The people are caring and listen to what you want and often show you what they think you want to be sure that you are satisfied every time.
This is the only place i get my meats from. The housemade hot dogs are the best ive ever eaten. The loinback pork ribs are the best Ive used, perfectly trimmed and super thick. The bacon wrapped fillets cant be beat for the price. Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable and there is a great selection of meat. They also cater amd do full pig roasts as well. Hands down one of the best butcher shops around this area, highly recommend this business. Give them a try, you wont be disappointed.
Great quality and awesome staff!
Great job with the venison. Hot sticks could be hotter.
The beef jerky is amazing, and the flavored brats are pretty damn good too.
Love the meat packages. Quality of the meat is very good and fresh.
Theyre potato sausage is the bomb diggity.
Great place
Best place for fresh meat
Best meat in Southern Wisconsin....gotta try their brats and beef jerky!
Always go here for all my needs in meat. Nice place
Wonderful service,and the smoked salmon is fantastic
I LOVE THERE SAUSAGE & MEAT
So let me just say my review is about my wedding. Seeing as my venue only let me have two choices I choice butcher block because we went with roasting pigs n chickens. So first time I went I to set stuff up I was told to come back closer to wedding. I did. A few times I went in in was told to come back because I had to talk to the owner which was the dad of the kids working in shop. The owner is very had to get ahold of n never returns calls. So when we finally did we order..... 2 pigs, 30 chickens, veggie tray, sausage tray, coleslaw, rolls, pasta salad and parsley potatos. I also paid for serving spoons. I paid in full weeks before the wedding.Wedding day, we got no veggie trays or sausage trays. We never got our parsley potatos they gave us potato salad instead. We ran our of all the salads which we need for 200 ppl n only 170 showed n only one pig head in trays when I ordered two. So when we call after wedding they kept saying their dad would call back,,,,, he never once tried to call us. Finally after getting ahold of him, he didnt own up to anything. I didnt want a full refund but.... he should have done something to show he was remorseful. Anyone planning on a wedding or big party beware! Reported to BBB.
Cash or check only. But I drive past two other meat markets to get here. I am thinking about getting a side of beef from them.
Been going for hot ham and rolls on Sundays for years ....Never disappointed!
Great customer service and prices! Got the 25lbs freezer pack
Awful, received a brown and sticky ribeye (opened it only a day after pick up)Tried to call, no answer, left a voicemail. Never got a call back. Then tried to call again and no one picks up the phone. Disgusted is an understatement
Hands down the best beef jerky on the planet!!!
The best in town to process your deer and slim jims
Very humble place n the meat is fantastic
Great staff always greeted with a smile
Best quality at good prices!
