Great East Butcher Company

Great experience once again with this butcher!
The gentleman (Rob?) behind the counter took his time helping me, and (by extension) guiding me to what I believe to be the best dang rack of ribs I have ever had… Slow roasted to perfection… wow…
I will definitely be back, thank you Rob!!

Went there and saw dry aged steaks. Grabbed one and it was one of the best steaks I've ever had. They also have a good wine selection and lots of good gourmet random foods and sauces. I'll definitely be back

The Great East Butcher Shop is such a hidden gem and SO delicious! Their sandwiches are insanely good (shaved steak is my favorite), and their meats are noticeably better than the meat you get at your grocery store. New England steak tips are my favorite, as well as the chicken wings. I love that there's always a selection of prepared foods to choose from, too (marinated asparagus, green beans, brussel sprouts, potato salads, etc...). The huge selection of local beers and other food/gift products is super fun, too. I just love this place!

Just had two great sandwiches. Reuben and beef brisket. Can’t wait to eat em all!!

Great sandwiches! Jersey Italian or Reuben for me! Always fresh and great pickles. Free samples at the door and you can get a sandwich card. 10th sando is free! Always clean and the staff is friendly.

Service is 10/10- went in had no idea what I was doing. On a mission for my husband to pick up meat for a BBQ memorial weekend. The staff was so helpful and kind. The young girl was very kind and charismatic and helped me to the best of her abilities with a smile the whole time. The head butcher ended up assisting further and went above and beyond to educate me on what I was buying. How it would cook? How much to buy based on how many people are attending the BBQ? His personal suggestions ETC You can tell they take pride in what they do and their service standards. I will definitely be back.

I APPRECIATE ALL THE HELP! THANK YOU

Stopped by and got a pulled pork sandwich randomly, and I’m really glad I did. The shop itself is stocked with delicious food + a great local beer selection and they also have a sizable space where you can eat any food you ordered. My sandwich was gone in minutes, so tasty. The staff that helped me were kind and efficient. I’ll be back to try those breakfast sandwiches for sure

This place is amazing!! We've only tried their Outlaw Burger, the tots, The Butcher Burger and the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich all of which were amazing!
They also are the only place in the area that we know of who sells Boars Head deli meat ! You can get all sorts of spices, rubs, dressings, slabs of meat, lunch, drinks, they have a wide selection of specialty and locally brewed beers, bones for dogs, souvenirs. The list goes on. And it smells amazing inside with all the spices!

The gentleman in the store that morning was very kind and helpful and seemed to be the only one there but was able to help myself and another person quickly. He also didn't hesitate to help when I could not find what was I was looking for and he seemed happy to go look out back for what I wanted. Best service I've seen in a long time.

Stopped in for the first time and we ordered sandwiches, which my husband dare says is the best sandwich he's ever eaten (the pulled pork sandwich). Such a wide selection of items and I'm only disappointed that we hadn't stopped in sooner!
We will be back for more delicious food and to try some of their marinated meats! ❤

Best steak tips in the area. My go-to when I want to make a great fail proof dinner. Try the maple bourbon for sure. Have not even had a chance to try all the other options because every time I'm here I get a mix of steak tips but I'm slowly going to expand into other choices. If the other food is as good as the steak tips this place is a total win

This place has come a looooong way ! New owners are very focused on the experience and quality. There is an abundance of THE BEST local foods as well as some amazing cuts of meats and simple and easy pre prepared foods that will make my dinner just that much more fancy. Any local should definitely check this out. Quick in an out service , and if you have unexpected company or forgotten anniversary they will save your life. It’s like my old corner bodega but in Scarborough!!

Not only did they have a great selection of quality meat, but they also went above and beyond to help me 🍅😉

Happen to stop in on a Monday and we took advantage of their Monday Burger Special. Absolutely, delicious burger and only $5. Interesting assortment of fresh deli options and eclectic merchandise in the store. Friendly and helpful staff. Will stop again when in the area.

Talisha cooks an amazing burger, and her recommendations are always spot on. Cool to see wagyu beef in the case, I know where I’ll be getting my birthday steak from this year! They have a great selection of lesser cuts as well, like oxtail and tongue - which I think have the best for the buck. Glad to see the kitchen has been upgraded. The new vent is a great addition, especially for the Monday burger special - which really can’t be beat anywhere else in town.

Great selection of fresh meat and food. Superb quality and taste of everything that was purchased. It's been a number of years since I've been here and the quality is just as good now as it was in the past. If I traveled into this area more frequently I would definitely stop and purchase something.

Passing by, we found the name enticing enough to try it for lunch.

So happy we did! I asked David behind the counter what his favorite sandwich was - brisket sub. Sounded like a good fit for my appetite, so I ordered it whatever way he ate his.

As a "Brisket Sub" I think he is under selling it. More of a burnt tip, and possibly Unicorn kisses, this sub whisked me away to the wonderful world of "so good I now need a nap".

Tender bits of brisket evenly mixed with delicious "bark", and sauced evenly, all served on a soft sub roll. Delicious. Oh, so very.

Well done, David! Many thanks!

Delicious meats and friendly, helpful staff. I stopped in for some steak tips, and bought their pulled pork which I put in the slow cooker for an hour with a BBQ sauce I also bought there.....my husband said, "This is amazing. What did you do differently?" Haha. Doubt I'll ever make my own again. I also saw a delicious looking cranberry walnut chicken salad, so asked for a pound of that. OMG - the most delicious chicken salad I've ever had. Stop in - you won't be disappointed.

With meat prices climbing at grocery stores, I started looking for other options and was very happy to come across this shop. The selection of marinated meats is fantastic and as a native of NYC, it was great to see Boar's Head brand of cold cuts (they're the best, there's no arguing about it). This place is now part of my weekly routine and it should become yours also.

Fantastic sandwiches and the tots were amazing. Friendly staff, large craft beer and wine selection, plenty of different meat options both plain and marinated. Cant wait to return to try something new.
