Reviews of Louise Earl Butcher (Butcher Shop)

shannon almassian

We just had our second “private” dinner party at L.E. Butcher. Chef Abby did an amazing job. She thoughtfully planned the menu taking food allergies into consideration. Our party of 12 had every need met. Matt’s passion for the business is contagious, so knowledgeable and the meats are amazing. Cindy is a delight to work with as well. I love supporting local business and the trickle effect it has on other local businesses. Bravo Louise Earl!

These people are amazing. I stopped in on Sunday and asked if they had a sausage I had while on vacation. Matt said he didn't have it but could make it. I stopped in today and he did indeed make it. He nailed it! Very happy with the linguica he made. Need something in the cured meats department? This is your place. Definitely will be back.

For God so loved the world, he gave his only begotten pig to Louise Earl to make bacon, that whosoever should fry the bacon in a cast iron over a medium flame, shall not hunger, but have eternal satisfaction and joy. (Joel 3:16 - New Carnivorous Edition) Also, try the Chorizo Verde. It should probably be on the Schedule 1 list of controlled substances.

Everything I have purchased has not disappointed. Just bought a 20lb. fresh pork shoulder to make pulled pork. Once you have tasted fresh locally grown pork, you can't go back to grocery store pork. I buy several turkey breasts from LE at Thanksgiving. He butterflies them for me to make a stuffed breast. So good. The brats.....yummy....

This is the place I have been looking for my whole life. Amazing is all I can say. I have tried many of their products and nothing has disappointed me at all. Great sausages, house made pate and terrine, house made lunch meat that will blow your mind. While in the military I lived in Europe for 6 years and always went to France to shop for groceries. In France/Europe we would get the pate and terrine that were so tasty. Coming back to the US we had a hard time finding pate and terrine, until now! On my first visit I met one of the owners who was very nice, helpful, and willing to share her story and processes with me. This should be everyone's butcher. The sausage is super tasty and moist. They even have classes on sausage and pate making. I highly recommend this place to everyone. Especially if you are a fan of tasty meat, seasoned to perfection, and a promise to use all of the animal with minimal waste.

Laura lerz

Bacon cut to order!!!

Tim M

Amazing spot! They can tell you exactly where you food comes from and how well it’s raised. Highly recommended!

Luann Haynes

So excited to try this place. Bought 2 2lb ribeye steaks. $24 a pound. Our steaks were $103. At least 3/4 went in the trash, what was not full of gristle and fat did have good flavor. Could have bought equivalent at Meijer. Will never return! I will choose Sobie meats every time. Better price and quality meats.

Fran Olesen

Always amazing service - knowledgeable and informative. I like that they post where their meats are raised. The daily menus are interesting and delicious. Today we got the lamb neck tacos...so so good.

Joseph Amaya

Best butcher in GR. Excellent selection with a friendly staff that's always willing to share tips and techniques. We also love that they locally source their food and verify the quality and responsibility of the farm.

Bob Chauvin

Quality meats and Super friendly service.

Jason Kroll

Purchased some dirt cheap spare rib racks form Louise Earl a couple weeks back, they were stellar. Anytime you can get a fresh cut of meat at cheaper prices than your everyday packaged grocery store selection, it's a win. I would highly recommend Louise Earl and their team to any carnivore and grill master. I will be back. :)

So reassuring to buy meat that you know is high quality and free of hormones and all of the other stuff you don't want. Best steak I've ever had. We're only buying our meats here!

The food was absolutely delightful and full of flavor! I can't wait to come back.
