My sister and I were in town visiting our mom for Mother's Day a few years back. Mom wanted steak for her special dinner, so we decided to try the Butcher Block. We were not disappointed. The Ribeyes that we got were the best we had ever had and the customer service was excellent.

Excellent service, great staff, and best quality meat. One of the best spots from miles around that really does well in a large area of Eastern Idaho. Great to work with!

Well to start this business has always been good but the owners (wife, I know she's also an owner because she made sure I knew.) Is...... Somethin. after a friend of mine had told me she was in a scream battle with someone in the back of the building, and that she stomped her way up to the front, then proceeded to yell, demean and belittle one of her employees in front of him( a customer) so I was a little hesitant to go in there when I did. To make it worse You can clearly tell she has no sense of boundaries or communication skills, Everytime I tried to speak to another employee she stated she was the owner, made me feel as if I was only allowed talk to her. Seemed unprofessional because she had an attitude about her. You could just see she was upset with something, So after what I would think would embarrass someone, she wanted to play the 100 question game asked me too many questions, she must have finally got the hint after question 50, because I was giving short responses. The entire time I was there I just felt very uncomfortable. I've done business here for years I usually don't go to the store itself, I know the owner(s) and ex owners decently well, so I will continue to do business here but I'll continue sending someone else to pick up for me. Good luck to this company. I wish them well

Stop buying meat from the grocery store, buy it here! We only buy our beef and chicken from Butcher Block. Freshest beef I have ever bought, cut to order. They are also one of the only places in town that sell fish that has not been previously frozen. Check them out, you won't regret it.They also have a good selection of wine and micro brews.

Dirtiest, most unsanitary dump that tries to sell meats Open the door and you are hit in the face with the stench of old rotting fish Did a quick walk around, laughed at the gal at the counter ... had to go home and take a shower .... Seriously, this place sucks ...

I reviewed this place before with 5 stars, I loved the people for the most part and always was treated kindly, but now if I could give 0 I would! I went in a few days ago and the woman behind the counter( the owner ) was unbelievable, just complete trash of a person! So rude and condescending! Every question I had was meant with a sarcastic " holier-than-thou " attitude like lady if you don't know how to do your job work somewhere else and let people with customer service skills handle it. In my opinion she had no business talking to the customers or running a business. What a joke! (I was curious about the alcohol got treated like an alcoholic junky) Talk about running a business into the ground. Good luck to the next person to get treated that way by such a judgemental brat.

Weirdest experience ever. The woman behind the counter is the owner and is beyond rude. I have no idea of quality of anything since we didn't spend a dime there...dark, dirty little place with rudeness and sarcasm in abundance. Want someone to verbally vomit on you and run you out of their store...this is the place for you.

Just picked up some fresh salmon today. The Butcher Block consistently has the best fish in town, bar none, and it's the only place I'll 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 Elissa's 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 CDC's current guidelines, there's technically no need to be masked up in this space (since social distancing is possible, there aren't 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 didn't have COVID. I explained that we wear masks to protect others because many are asymptomatic. She said ( and this is a quote), "I don't care." I wonder: If the owners of this butcher shop/food store don't 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.

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.

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.
