Just picked up some fresh salmon today. The Butcher Block consistently has the best fish in town, bar none, and its the only place Ill buy seafood in the area. They also have a decent selection of other meat items as well as beer, wine, and even sake. Custom service was great. Overall a great little local place to stop.As far as Elissas comment about masks... get over yourself. I tend to wear a mask everywhere I go, but I respect that others have the freedom and personal choice to wear one or not. This is a small store, and there are often only 2-3 people sharing the entire store area. Proper distancing is more than feasible. Per CDCs current guidelines, theres technically no need to be masked up in this space (since social distancing is possible, there arent crowds, and contact times are short), and your chances of getting sick from spending 3 minutes in the same 700 square feet of space as one other person is astronomically slim. The 1 star rating is petty, unwarranted, and not representative of the quality of products and level of service this business provides.
Amazing selection of fresh fish (like literally flown in from Alaska that morning) and reasonable prices for a shop in a small town like Pocatello. Also the owner is incredibly nice and generous. A definite hidden gem!!
Let me start by saying that the fish here is great quality - some of the best in town, and why I make the trip. It was evident on my last visit that my loyalty is not valued here. I was masked, the cashier was not. She saw my mask, and saw how I stood 6 feet away from the counter. When I requested (politely) that she mask up before I approached to pay, she refused. She told me she didnt have COVID. I explained that we wear masks to protect others because many are asymptomatic. She said ( and this is a quote), I dont care. I wonder: If the owners of this butcher shop/food store dont care enough to don a simple mask, what are they doing in the back room that also disrespects my health and safety. Not going back. There are other stores in town that do care.
Great New York strip and great customer service. Will be back
Ive always said Quality pays for itself! Amy does such a GREAT job with fresh fish! AND such a wonderful job here..... kind of out here in the sticks! Count on consistancy here! Constantly meeting expectations!
Went in to get some steaks for my wife’s birthday and got some of the best steaks I’ve cooked. The lady that helped me was beyond awesome. Loved the beer selection and the conversation. I’ll be back over and over. Great job and will tell everyone I know this is the place for all the food and beverage in Pocatello.
Absolutely LOVE coming here for all my meats, both for home and my business I manage! So friendly and knowledgeable and the meat is awesome! Highly Recommend!
Extremely personable service, high-quality products and fun place to visit.
I called in and asked about prices and possible availability. They were extreamly informative, knowledgable, quick to answer, easy to talk to and ready to help. I called a few other butchers and was either left on hold and they never answered or their prices were unreasonable. Thank you for the customer service. I do not mean to sound so formal, Im just happy with the experience and I will definitely be shopping with them.
No selection less impressive than Fred Meyer. Walked in waited a few minutes no one was at the counter. Poor service. Meat was running fluid all over the butcher paper and looked unappealing.Mask less patrons as well and no signage supporting the city ordinance.
Awesome store. Little much on the wine. However they have an excellent selection of beer n its not your reg kind of beer either. Yum. The cuber lady Ali is awesome also. She does some amazing seasoned prime rib roasts around xmas or anytime.
Very impressed with their customer service. Having spent my life just buying meat from a grocery store I was a little uncertain about how to go about getting it from a butcher. They were very helpful, asked what cut I like, how many people I was feeding, and how I like to cook it. A few minutes later I had some great streaks ready to grill. Definitely will be going back. Thanks a ton!
Excellent customer service! They delivered my product from Pocatello to Idaho Falls - what butcher does that?? It was awesome! They had exactly what I needed, gave it to me for a fantastic price and delivered it to me in time for a large dinner party. Has my loyalty and my business!
I love Amy and her staff. I went in today and ordered 10lbs each of chicken and hamburger ala cart and they had no problem packing our purchase as requested. They are always so super helpful.
Very neat place and always friendly. Accommodating to any request you might have. The fresh fish is the best you can get anywhere around here, and a great selection to boot.
This is one awesome butcher shop. The folks there will do anything to make people happy. High quality meats at a very competitive price.
Going from the anonymity of a large grocery store to a small, local butcher was a bit weird when I first started frequenting Butcher Block Meats. The friendliness of the staff and the ease of shopping here quickly put my fears to rest. I started shopping here because I was looking for meat that I would know where it came from and what treatment/food/antibiotics it received. I was stunned when the owner could tell me exactly what kind of meat she was selling. If this wasnt enough to convince me to stop buying store meat, the quality of all their products finalized my decision. I havent tried a single product that I havent been amazed by. Other people Ive cooked for agree that their bacon (or any type of meat) is the best theyve ever had. Even organic store-bought meat pales in comparison. I recommend Butcher Block Meats to anyone and everyone I know.
Pencys Cheese Steaks loved the Butcher Block. We made frequent orders with them that had to be filled on the exact day we needed them by, and the Butcher Block always came through. They were professional and gave us a great price. Thanks!
Excellent beer selection! They are always willing to try to track down a favorite for their customers and stock it. Super friendly staff!
Needed some extra help replacing items in an order, very very helpful and understanding during a busy time thank you..
Friendly service, great food everything local. They even have local honey and ice cream at great prices!
They always have what Im looking for; from lamb to scallops. Its the same price range as a big grocers store, but for a better grade of meats.
Awesome meat and seafood, great prices and amazing service!
Love the Prime Rib seasoned and cooking instructions! A must for special holidays thanks Butcher Block
Best quality food to cook and amazing wine and beer selection
Great place! Amazing service!
Great people, great service, and great prices.
Well if you like to guess at when you will get what you order this is Probly the place to go because after hearing my Three hundred dollar meat order would Probly be ready tomorrow three separate times I took my business to Del Monte meats. Here they said the next day and wow it was ready when they said and I DID NOT hear one Probly. Butcher Block Close your doors because you Suck at any sort of customer service. Stick with the restaurants because that is Probly the only way you will get any business
