Country Butcher

It's a butcher store, deli, cheese shop, charcuterie, and cafe all in one place with some gourmet items, local coffee, frozen trays of food if you're catering a party, and baked goods from somewhere else thrown in to take home for good measure. And they have pizza and BBQ on the weekends to take home. Think of it as a mini DiBruno's or Carlino's and you get the idea. Being lazy and hungry we decided to try the newly renovated cafe for a take out lunch last Saturday. My wife enjoyed a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich with apples that was pretty good. I decided to try the signature grilled rib eye steak sandwich. It's not like a steak sandwich but a big, sliced steak in a sandwich. I ordered it rare (of course) and it's served on a steak roll with lettuce, tomato, and basil mayo and a side of French fries. It was delicious and cooked perfectly and I would get it every time. At $19 it's not cheap (and it's messy to eat with stuff dripping and slipping everywhere) but it's like having an actual steak and a sandwich all in one. I would gladly eat this every time I go there. You can eat inside the cafe or they have a couple of (rusty) tables outside where you can nibble (and in my case dribble). We also took home a mini frozen Shepards pie (just ok) and some big type of big beans (pretty good) from the charcuterie. It's a great option for some meats, eats, and cheeses if you want to save yourself a trip to West Chester, Ardmore, or Philly.

My husband and I went there for the first time. He ordered the rib eye sandwich, rare. It was so excellent and messy! I think I would order it every time we were there. It came with a lot of very good fries. I ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, but I am picky about the cheese. I would have a stronger cheese, but it is my personal cheese preference. I contemplated getting fries, but I am glad I did not because they were a large size. I was in the mood for potato chips, and there were a couple of different types of them. I am glad I got the Herr's kettle chips because they are the best. Also, there were larger bags of snacks- they had Uncle Jerry pretzels, which are so good. Therefore, I think they choose the best pretzels/snacks foods for their customers to select from. While I was waiting for lunch to be prepared, I looked at their prepared and frozen meals. I bought a shepherd's pie, which I had the day after. It was fair- it could have been seasoned a lot better. I would not purchase it again. I bought some big tan beans in olive oil (?) in their refrigerated section. They were delicious, and I would buy them again. This store was clean and very well staffed by friendly employees. We ate outside on the somewhat rusty tables. We are looking forward to returning again here!

Quite an amazing prime rib for Xmas dinner.We love Country Butcher, and will continue trusting you all with our meat and poultry.

I really like this place. The café is great for a quick bite, coffee, cookie, pastry, etc.We often find ourselves here when we need a great piece of meat for a big occasion. We also love to try the variety of sausage offered here. The deli meats are awesome and they have stuff that you won't find everywhere. Highly recommend you take a look around chances are whatever you choose you won't be disappointed.

This review is for their pizza. The shop itself and the meats are amazing. I want to be able to give them five stars , but they have to step it up a bit. Love that the crust is thin - could be a bit crispier. This was our third pizza from there and they are extremely skimpy with the toppings. The flavors are delicious and Kennett doesn't have a lot of good pizza so I enjoy it, just thin it needs some work. Sorry no pics

I got the rib eye sandwich. $17. Of course I am thinking sliced ribeye. I was wrong. I would have preferred this rib-eye on a plate. It was a good roll but not a $17 sandwich roll. The roll was also too narrow. Everything kept sliding off the roll. Cutting the Tomato slice in half would have been a big help. The basil mayonnaise was very tasty. As a ribeye it was delicious. As a sandwich it was a miss. It came with french fries but even they were undercooked. I got a brownie. The brownie was delicious. The brownie was big. The brownie gave me a stomach ache because I ate it all at once and should have been two or three servings. Ironically the brownie helped me dollar cost average down the price of the meal.

Places like this just don't exist anymore. Where else can you get hand mad sausage and fine cheeses? I'll tell you where, no where because no one has and dedication to craft any more.

The Country Butcher catered my wedding of ~100 guests, and we had a perfect experience! The planning, communication, pick-up, and food were beyond what I could have dreamed. We worked with the Chef and butchers to determine the best option for a hog roast, and they more than delivered on expectations! The entire process was so easy, and their customer service is unmatched. The food was a huge hit, and I was thrilled with every single selection.If you have any catering needs, definitely consider The Country Butcher!

Really cool butcher, cafe, deli, and bakery. 8f I lived nearby I'd be a regular. Had turkey chili, a crumb cake and coffee to split with the wife...whoa Nellie, fantatsic. Couldn't buy too much due to travel home, but a fantastic upscale market that I am sure gets used well by the denizens of Kennett. Great place, by all observations.

Purchased a pint of chicken Chili and Italian wedding soup. Chili tasted like cooked Barbecue chickenThe Italian soup tasted sour and the greens were not escarole or chopped spinach. It tasted like Miso soup. You could get better out of a can.
