“Clean. well organized with fresh quality produce and the nicest store staff anywhere. Only neutral observation - sometimes the seafood and deli staff in back are hiding somewhere. Great store.”

“Amazing quality and love the ease of the monthly delivery. Absolutely love the wings, ribs, ground pork, eggs, butter and the lamb is awesome. Highly recommend Walden local”
“First time trying this spot! Needed some dinner while working the evening shift. I got Italian Sandwich SPLIT in half. And a side of Bacon & chive potato salad. Also extra pickles on sub and a peach ice tea drink. The sub bread tasted fresh and the bread wasn't soggy. A perfect amount of wine sauce and the tomatoes, lettuce and were fresh tasting also. They give you a great amount of meat pretty hefty! Great tasting Italian sub the potato salad was good as well! Will try again when working the evening shift for dinner very satisfied with the quality and the taste of the food!”
“The take home food is excellent, and reasonably priced. The only complaint we have is the banana creme pie is full of liquid at the bottom. It used to be so good.”
“The store has some exotic foods ranging from quil eggs to snake meat…even venison. Very kind people, Had an interview here today, really nice people and very hard workers. Christopher the general manager is extremely professional, humble, and overall a cool dude. If your looking for a nice small exotic food market for you to make the most extraordinary home cooked meals. Savenors comes highly recommended.”

90 Blackstone St, Boston“Okay, you first walk in and you see weird stuff like goat and sheep's heads. You smell the meat. The atmosphere is a little grimy, since it is parked right next door to Haymarket. The smell of funky cheese from a few doors down does not help. By far, this place does not look like much of anything.But first impressions are deceiving. This place is a hidden gem. The shop is over a hundred years old and it is a true, old school butcher. For the uninitiated, that means you are not going to find ground beef neatly packaged in styrofoam, but rather an "everything but the oink/moo/cluck/gobble/baa" mentality; they even will sell you a whole goat or sheep to roast on a spit. My advice is to stick around. I myself rave about this place because I got the perfect sized turkey for Thanksgiving, fresh kill, freshly butchered. It was succulent and excellent quality! Even if they don't have what you want in stock, they can get it to you within a few days, and again, they butcher EVERY MEAT OR FOWL KNOWN TO MAN. (You do have to verbally ask for some of their items, since the fridge is in the back as is where the butchering is done: they bring it to you.) They cater to both immigrant and local tastes, something Savenor's does not, and it is worth it-the Vietnamese guy gets his tripe to make pho, you get your prized rib roast, and the Puerto Rican walks out happily carrying a whole suckling pig she has carefully wrapped up to take home for Christmas dinner. Go on, give it a chance. Do what I did and go in advance for the holiday meal. Have your turkey or goose safely waiting for you and eat like a king while idiots fight over a frozen Butterball or a crown roast of meh from Shaw's. Poke at the goat meat, and then learn it tastes like lamb and actually would be a treat if used in a stew recipe. Go look up an old recipe of Julia Child's from the 1950's and realize that the foot of a cow was the old way to get gelatin and if all the instant stuff at the supermarket suddenly goes poof, you are going to be fine: the 100+ year old butcher shop that is older than Savenor's still has the foot, weird though that is.”
“I walk down here from the neighborhood every Sunday to get 2-3 dinners' worth of meat. Much better quality, variety, and customer service than what you'd get at a grocery store and not really any more expensive. Recommend getting an "olive " marinated whole chicken and potatoes for an easy but delicious dinner”
“looking for smoked sausage my mother bought from this store in 1990, they were the very best sausage. The family bought them by the boxes they are good for sandwiches, breakfast and all other dishes made from cabbage and sausage collard greens you name it.”
“Sulmona Meat Market is in business and going strong. Myself and Bobby Pugliese would drive from Vermont to purchase whole hind quarters for our veal dishes at the Jamiaca ouse back in the mid 1970's and of course Dominic's famous homemade sausage. This is a testiment of how a quality meat shop stays open for decades after decades. Businesses come and go, but true quality of meats and service continues to this day. Congratulations on such an achievement!!!! Oakie”

150 Main St, Peabody“Great place to buy Brazilian food and snacks. Good prices on cuts for Brazilian BBQ, like picanha and ribs.Tip: If you are unsure how to season your BBQ meat, just ask them to do it for you or teach you how to use the rocky salt.There's a great variety of the essentials for the Brazilian cusine.”
“This is our go-to for freshly butchered meats. It's not a full on grocery store, so it's a place to go for your full shopping list (paper products, cleaning things, etc) but it's worth it for the variety of proteins. Staff is very friendly and the butchers will take special orders if you call.”

5 5th St, Peabody“As a restaurant on Cape Ann, I could not be more pleased with a supplier. The sales guys are absolutely the best. Customer focussed and there with great product and availability.”
“11/10 experience all around. Swung by the retail store and picked up North Shore Beef Tips, Chinese Chicken Thighs, and 2 cases of sausages and assorted other marinades etc: I’ve never seen 50+ lbs of meat disappear so fast and so many comments on the high quality delivered by Bianco’s”

1127 Harrison Ave, Roxbury“Absolutely excellent customer service. The owner delivered the spices I bought personally for me when I could not get there although they were not currently even delivering. This was exceptionally nice of him. They are super friendly and just great business people. The spices were completely authentic. Excellent taste. I highly recommend. Love this place.”
“We go to AP all the time... the Dot location is cozy and the employees are off-the-charts nice. Quality of gourmet groceries, deli meats/cheese, and wine/beer/liquor selection are all phenomenal. I bought several people xmas gifts this year that were just little baskets full of things entirely from AP. Owner Matt went above and beyond when there was a mixup with something we ordered, dropping off a gift to our home. This is the sort of stuff that neighborhood patrons don't forget!”
“Great throwback to a time when every town had one or two good butchers.Nice selection of cuts. They have a walk up window if you need to place a special order or get a cut trimmed up.I was making turkey chili and wanted turkey tips. They had them cut but pre-marinated. Instead, I bought a boned turkey breast and cut that up for the chili. Lots of options plus a small, mini mart (salad stuff and canned goods) for those afterthought extras without having to go to Stop n Slop. Oh, beer anyone? Good selection of beer; traditional, IPA, and other specialized beer. They also have a prepared food section.”
“This a.m., my wife and I decided to try Larry Levine's Kosher Meats, and buy corned beef sandwiches.Larry Levine's was recommended to us when we bumped into 2 acquaintances that had worked in Chelsea, back in the day. Chelsea was famous for several fabulous Jewish delis, and we couldn't find a good corned bee since.After ordering 2 sandwiches and pickles, I went to pay, only to find out that credit cards weren't accepted. I had no cash or checks on me! To my surprise , Mr. Levine told me he trusted me to come back and pay him when I'm in the area next.Who does that!! Where can you shop and have someone be so kind?Seriously....where??The sandwiches were delicious, and we will become regulars at Larry Levine's from here on.”
“This is THE BEST pork and beef hot dog I’ve ever had! They don’t seem to be available in a lot of places. I found them at Publix. Boiled or air fried, they are absolutely delicious!!!”

48 Beach St, Boston“There are two live poultry shops in Chinatown but I've only ever shopped at this one. If you've ever eaten soy sauce chicken or scallion/ginger chicken at a Cantonese restaurant, they are most likely using what they call Brown Chicken at this shop. This is a breed of chicken that Cantonese folks tend to use and is characterized by its bright vibrant yellow skin. The meat is a firmer than your Costco chicken and has more chicken taste. Prior to the pandemic I recall buying them for $3.20/lb and now in 2023 they are going for $3.60/lb. Chickens tend to be around 5-6 pounds so expect to spend around $20/chicken. My family has been buying from here for years.Tip: cash only.”
