Bowman's Butcher Shop

I've been dying to try real Japanese A5 Waygu. Well, they have it. AND ITS AN EXPERIENCE!!! It's expensive. But it's worth it to treat yourself every once and a while. I will absolutely recommend them to everyone I know. I also got a different kind of Waygu, not sure if it was American or Australian or what, and they said it was a #8 on the marbling scale. That steak was amazing as well. A5 for special occasions. The other for when I want a GOOD steak! They also had a bunch of exotic meats to try. Can't wait to go back and try some new things!!!

The place is phenomenal. It's super accessible and very easy to get to. They have plenty of parking. Also, they have butcher that speak both languages English and Spanish. If you're not comfortable speaking the right terms in English, you can speak Spanish. The place is neat, clean, organized, super friendly , and has amazing customer service. They even put snack outside when the waiting list is long. I highly recommend it if you're close to the Aberdeen area in Hartford County.

Alice and the team at Bowman's is so nice and very knowledgeable! I got a Delmonico steak for Fathers Day 3-4 years ago and not only was it the best steak I have ever had but made my life so much easier. My fathers only request for Christmas, Fathers Day, his Birthday is a Delmonico steak from Bowman's! Great people and great cuts of Meat!

What a treat to step into this local butcher shop located just outside of Bel Air, MD. The short ribs were absolutely excellent, the strip steaks - the best I've eaten and the fresh chicken was the best! All I can say is, I didn't know what I was missing. Proud to shop local and support this deserving business! Just a few mins off of I-95 and super easy to get to.

Best Butcher in Maryland. So happy I found this amazing place. Anyone looking for good prices and amazing quality meat I suggest you try this. They even have goat, ostrich, and buffalo meat. Pictured is a chicken and a pork butt that I smoked all day. Turned out amazing.
I give this place 10 Stars if I could. They also have freezer packages with lots of different meat in it for a very reasonable price. Happy Eating!!!!

Wonderful experience. Steaks I got were amazing.

Bowmans is the best around! Always an amazing selection with unique cuts of meat/seafood. They are a VERY busy butcher shop, so some patience is needed if you go in to get things (I feel they prefer the online ordering system as it gives them time to get everything you need). So many times I’ve walked in and if something is not in the fridge or freezer, they will go and vacuum seal it fresh for me! I just feel they go above and beyond and the customer service is always top notch. I normally speak with Sophie and she is always so sweet (all the ladies there are!). Highly, highly recommend!!

Look up the exotic meats online to learn how delicious and good for you many of these meats are. Bowmans is a Harford County staple. I have eaten alligator and love it. Am looking forward to eating ostrich. We recently bought a special box combo. Looking forward to our next palate surprise. Thank you!!

I was planning to order my meats for Christmas dinner from a well known online butcher, but I decided to find a local butcher. Fortunately, Bowman's Butcher was literally just up the road from my home (less than a 10 minute drive). I read the reviews and reviewed their website and decided to order. BTW their website is a GREAT resource about what they offer. My brother is the "chef" and with his help I placed my order - prime rib and a couple racks of lamb. He mentioned how impressed he was with the quality of the meat and the marbling. We will definitely be ordering from Bowman's again, looking forward to some dry-aged steaks. My guests were equally impressed with the meat and several asked where I got it from. The meat was a better quality than what I recently purchased from a local grocery chain. So glad that I chose to order from Bowman's Butcher.

We've been ordering the monthly butcher boxes for three months and are always impressed. The quality of the meat is excellent and the customer service is phenomenal. Not everything included in the box is something I would normally buy, but it has pushed me to try some new items and I've always been pleasantly surprised. We definitely won't be planning to buy our meats from the grocery store anytime soon.

This butcher shop will be the place to get my meat from now on! Twice baked baked potatoes amazing! Chicken and steak kebabs amazing! Brats amazing! Grilling season will have our business!! Really good on price also! Owner is super nice and friendly and other employees are helpful as well. Thank you Adam it was nice you meet.

I purchased a bottom round roast for Christmas dinner. The young lady that waited on me was excellent she directed me in every aspect of seasonings and cooking and the roast was excellent. I am sorry I didn’t get her name so I could let everyone know who she is. My family raved about it . So if you need any form of roast or other types of meat they have a great selection. So go check them out you won’t be sorry.

great little place , don't be fooled by the driveway looking entrance. They have a great, fresh produce

Found this shop today while looking for Pork Belly. The staff were so friendly, customer service was really top notch. This is now my go to for most of my meats. I went in for Pork Belly and left with Tri-tip, scrapple, maple sausage, all beef hotdogs, and two slabs of pork belly.

The young ladies behind the counter made us feel like we have been customers all along.

We will be seeing you guys more often.

Added a picture of the Pork Belly strait off the smoker just because.

These are by far the best steaks you can purchase within at least 50 miles. Prove me wrong and I'll try your recommendation. When you go to a "fancy"steakhouse, and drop $100+ on steak, Bowmans is the level of quality they use, so grill it yourself and save $60-70 and buy a nice bottle of bourbon or wine to go with it.

The cuts are thicker, 1 1/2 - 2inches so be mindful if you're grilling them for the first time, they may end up being rarer then your usual.

Other things to check out: they carry local eggs, exotic meats (alligator, elk, etc), and they have their own beer/venison seasoning thats actually pretty good. Better than Montreal.

Other notes: They have amazing service here, they'll let you look at the cuts and bring you other ones from the back room if you don't like what they have on display.

Not a fan on their sausages, the texture is good but the taste is a bit bland. I'm open to suggestions on how to improve cooking them.

Some people think it smells weird in here. Welcome to a butchershop kiddos!

Great experience with this Butcher shop. They are very friendly and extremely helpful. Their monthly and holiday boxes are awesome and reasonably priced. So glad we found them!

Great fresh variety of meats. Trying to keep it local 🐖🐑🐐🐓🚜🐄

We just moved to the area and love the nostalgia of a butcher shop in a small town, rural feel. The smoked pork shoulder deliciously flavored our green beans and potatoes and the dish received rave reviews by family.

Great place for fresh meat and exotic meats that you don't find in a supermarket. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The place is a little bit hard to find because you have to drive down a long driveway to get there, but it's worth the trip.

Food was prepared and ready for pickup on time. So far all the meats I have got from them has been great. I appreciate there hard work thanks Steve
